Eat Me (2017)

> x munster (@ Undercroft)

Munster-géromé well brined, some meters tall, and more column than wheel, chiseled into a guardsman half-moulded. Pokerounce has been carving the figure as he carves every soldier, fashioned with its own rind for the armor.

> x brie (@ Armory)

Brie, you're a queen crowned with brown flecks. An indolent life's ripened you, darling, inside your regal rind. Too much time in the cellar's just enough time for your wellbeing. Sag and soften as often as you please.

> x cantal (@ Armory)

Cantal's as ancient as the hills, grandfather amongst cheese, speckled grey with its hoary age and pebbled with the most endearing lumps.

> x gloucester (@ Armory)

Colossal gloucester, packed with full fat, you're a cheese that a giant could hack with an axe. That apricot glow's annatto-infused. Your wedges would prop fortresses against collapse.

> x blue stilton (@ Armory)

Stilton, what would we do without you, dear? Poor is the soul whose eyes never traced your blue veins to inspire their stomachs with passioned grumbles. You are a quintessence.

> x red leicester (@ Armory)

Red leicester's tinged as you'd well expect, and brilliantly, with powdered mould across its rind just as a lady's cheeks might be powdered before a ball.

> x morbier (@ Armory)

A slice into your side, morbier, would expose your dual attitude: morning milk layered over last night's curds, with black ash cutting through your ivory cream to split your halves.

> x spermyse (@ Armory)

Spermyse, spermyse, whatever are you doing here? Slipped where you weren't meant to be with these great cheeses in the armory. Only a little green cheese, aren't you, chopped herbs in cream. You'd never make a suitable suit for battle.

> x maroilles (@ Armory)

A solid brick, thick, red maroilles sticks to the touch. Don't let this hardened rind fool you: inside it's smooth and oily as pâte.

> x other cheeses (@ Armory)

There are enough cheeses stocked here to keep an army fed—or to carve one. It's good that you've disabled their master: otherwise you would've had his soldiers on your scent till kingdom come.

> x gruyère guard (@ Dungeon)

Such a strapping gruyère guard. How handsome he looks armored in brined rind, capped with a knightly curdled helm. Perhaps he's not happy to see you out, but that shouldn't prevent you from enjoying his delicious company.

> x durkha guard (@ Western Tapestry)

Some guardsmen make others scramble: here's such a one. He towers at the threshold into the great hall, armored in a rind heavier than stone, harder than steel. That's durkha, my dear, champion amongst cheeses, aged for decades until its curds could crack an overeager jaw.

> x havarti guard (@ Gatehouse)

[if asleep:] He's snoring blissfully. Havarti's no hard cheese but he's gone softer than ever from that root beer, forgot his duties, let his knightly honor lapse. He'll reap what his habits have sown.
[if awake:] He can't stop hiccuping. Havarti's no hard cheese but he's gone softer than ever from that root beer. He wobbles, holds his head as though it might roll to the floor. Why, sir, this is no state to man a post!

> x jarlsberg guard (@ Garderobe)

[in Garderobe:] My word, this jarlsberg guard's gone green. Blame drink. Always blame drink. Knights with cow's milk for blood can't be expected to hold their root beer.
[in Moat:] Poor soul. He never guessed he'd pass the pearly gates through a privy.

Foo Foo (2016)

> x cheese (@ Empty Bedroom)

Looks like gouda, of the illegal variety.

> x cheese (@ Behind Cameracopia)

With the door open, the smell of it floods the alley. They got one hell of a ventilation system in there.

Oddly, you can't really examine the cheese from inside the Cheese Room itself. It's now part of a crime scene outside your purview.

Illuminismo Iniziato (2018)

> x Zamorano (@ Wizard's Way)

A hard sheep's milk cheese, pale yellow in colour with a crumbly texture. The zigzag pattern makes it appear similar to Castellano or Manchego.

> x Gorgonzola (@ Betty's Dirty Laundry)

A creamy white blue-veined cheese with a soft, crumbly texture.

> x Gruyere (@ Pub)

A hard cow's milk cheese with a dense and compact texture, the Gruyere is a pale yellow colour.

> x Montagnolo (@ Front hall)

An extremely soft blue-veined cheese, with a lovely buttery texture.

> x Madagascar Green Peppercorn (@ Sorcery Supply)

This semi-firm cow's milk cheese sprinkled with green peppercorns is pale yellow in colour.

> x Ardrahan (@ Outskirts)

A semi-soft mould-ripened cheese with a smooth texture. It's deep yellow on the inside, with a brine-washed golden-coloured rind on the outside.

> x Y-Fenni (@ Vault)

A firm cheddar made with brown ale and speckled throughout with mustard grains, the Y-Fenni is moist and tangy. It's pale yellow, with the mustard grains clearly visible as dark specks throughout.

> x Brie (@ Vechlee Gate)

A very soft mould-ripened cheese, pale smooth yellow on the inside, but with a creamy white rind on the outside.

> x Airedale (@ Kitchen)

A semi-soft gourmet cheese, pale yellow on the inside, but with a deep red wax rind on the outside.

After you've used tyromancy on a cheese, the cheese's description will be appended with a sentence in the form "This cheese provided a vision of [something]", summarizing the vision.
