Mysterious room in The Shire

[Brummbaer]

There's a room in the Shire that has long puzzled me. Here it is (how
to get there left as an exercise for the reader):

Code: Select all

Stony Chamber
You've entered an underground chamber of stone. There is not much to
this place, except stones of different types and sizes all around. How
they all got here is a mystery. Maybe someone has carried them all here -
who knows.
A simple wooden chest is here.
A trained horse (traeger) is standing here.

!O cW Move:Tired>examine chest
chest (here) : 
a large sack

!O cW Move:Tired>
Your light is becoming faint...

!O cW Move:Tired>get sack chest
You get a large sack from a simple chest.

!O cW Move:Tired>examine sack
sack (carried) : 
Nothing.

There's usually a magic mushroom in the chest, and always a sack.
The sack is always empty. Why a chest with just those particular items,
in a hidden room reacheable only from another hidden room? Is this
part of some unfinished quest? Or does it have no special significance?
No big deal, probably, but just thought I'd ask.

I forsee many, many posts from you in the future, if this one is any indication!

Well, at least there's "stuff" in the chest - which is better than other chests which never load something.
