With the sphinx's challenge behind you, you and Colonel Clucks proceed deeper into the dungeon. The next chamber is filled with an assortment of treasure chests, each one more ornate and enticing than the last. In the center of the room, a particularly large and gilded chest sits atop a raised platform, beckoning you closer.

As you approach the central chest, Colonel Clucks suddenly stops, his feathers ruffling with unease. “Bawk!” he warns, eyeing the chest suspiciously.

You pause, studying the chest more closely. Suddenly, you notice a faint breathing motion and the glint of teeth along the chest's rim. “Colonel Clucks, watch out!” you shout, drawing your sword. “That's no ordinary chest—it's a mimic!”

The chest shudders and then springs to life, revealing a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. It lunges at you, its treasure-laden tongue lashing out like a whip.

What do you do?

1. Approach the nearest treasure chest and attempt to open it.
2. Sit on the throne, declaring yourself the King of the Dungeon.
