The person inside the window startled you badly, and you fall on your tush. What's worse, you seem to have hurt your left ankle in the fall. Lower DX items that involve your hurt leg by 2. This includes move and dodge score by 2 respectively. Too bad you haven't learned that "cure wounds" spell yet...

You realized a few moments after hitting the ground that the "person" inside the window is a seamstress' dress form. It has some pins stuck in it, but doesn't look like it's going to attack...

Try to climb in this drated window again (at -2 to DX, of course)

Yes, I succeed, Nope, I fell again.

Try the back door.

Dig through the vines and weeds to get to the cellar.
