Jarlsberg love

I did get the key. But it was more of a struggle than I had bargained for.

First, I mis-starcharted, then the Topiary Golems stole my hedge maze puzzle nearly every turn (turned out I had forgotten to de-equip the makeshift scuba gear, which meant -10 melee damage, so gaining them back was pretty tough, as well).

up the tower 4/6 of the items, I didn't have, one of them being the NG.

With that all settled, I ascended. HC Seal Clubber, Teetotal. One of my first goals was to get a chef's hat. Took me nearly bloody all my turns. I was mostly annoyed, so I didn't care all that much. Still... a bad start for a new run.
