That sans the amnesia is something I've sorta considered. Not really my house, but just like, I found this house in okay condition and I've set up in it while I'm doing adventuring in this area.
Now that I've got something I think I'll go with
i then diagnose
because now that I've got something I wanna check my inventory just so that I can get an idea of what the inventory looks like in this game and because I've been meaning to take a look at what diagnose looks like as well and I figure I might as well know that out now as well.
>what is a grue
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
(Oh dear.)
(Also, huh, I actually didn't know, or else forgot, about the 'what is' and 'where is' commands. Neat.)
I kinda wanna just restore right now since I kind doubt I can get out of this without being eaten by a grue, but at the same time I feel like I shouldn't just reload away from that, for memes' sake.

>climb tree Up a Tree You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is above your reach.
Beside you on the branch is a small bird's nest.
In the bird's nest is a large egg encrusted with precious jewels, apparently scavenged by a childless songbird. The egg is covered with fine gold inlay, and ornamented in lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. Unlike most eggs, this one is hinged and closed with a delicate looking clasp. The egg appears extremely fragile.
Well if I try to take it with me it'll probably break so

Ok.

You have moved into a dark place.
The trap door crashes shut, and you hear someone barring it.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Your sword is glowing with a faint blue glow.
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Whoosh!
The trap door is closed.
yeah I know, probably not gonna work on account of it being barred, but it's worth a try.
The door is locked from above.
I don't know the word "help".
>say "help"
Nothing happens.
>fuck
Such language in a high-class establishment like this!
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
I've known strange people, but fighting a trap door?
e
Oh, no! You have walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
**** You have died ****
Now, let's take a look here... Well, you probably deserve another chance. I can't quite fix you up completely, but you can't have everything.
Forest
This is a forest, with trees in all directions. To the east, there appears to be sunlight.

Forest Path
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path.
Up a Tree
You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is above your reach.
Beside you on the branch is a small bird's nest.
In the bird's nest is a large egg encrusted with precious jewels, apparently scavenged by a childless songbird. The egg is covered with fine gold inlay, and ornamented in lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. Unlike most eggs, this one is hinged and closed with a delicate looking clasp. The egg appears extremely fragile.
You have neither the tools nor the expertise.
