> get stone

Which stone do you want to get?

> get gray stone

There are 5 gray stones here, which one do you want to get?

> get big grey stone

All of the grey stones are the same size.

> get first grey stone

Your worldview doesn't allow you to do that.

> assume axiom of choice

You assume the axiom of choice. The stones seem better-ordered than
they did a moment ago.

> get first grey stone

Taken. You notice an inscription written in fine letters on the
stone, inscribed in an ancient and curvy text.

> read stone

The text on the stone reads "Every future move must introduce, solve,
or both, some kind of puzzle."

-0.4 style points for confusing rogue-likes with text adventures

+0.3 style points for moving us forward

Commentary-
This is a very Inform7-style interaction, issuing and solving a word/
parser sort of problem. Or, if we take it a certain way, it solves the
problem of taking a single stone from the pair or heap.
