9 stay, 12 walk. Stick sand in inventory. Jog/sprint. Sing sad songs for no apparent reason. 6 to 5 for north versus west.
Okay. So you walked into what, in retrospect, wasn't the safest magical ritual thing ever. And now you're in a 'Demonic Desert', whatever that is. Probably not a giant dish of devil's food cake, as that would be a demonic dessert, but whatever.
You take a deep breath, let it out as a sigh of 'oh fuck, this is annoying', and reach down to scoop up a handful of... Demonic Sand? It feels like regular sand, especially the way it's got pretty much all over you, but you shove the handful into your inventory anyway. Maybe it'll come in handy?
Well, you can't stay here forever, as wonderfully depressing as this bleak landscape is; you need to get home! Home to your gang! Home to your web-series! Home to your... kidnappings by the mafia? Eh, whatever. The point is, after a few minutes of squinting in the vague direction of the small, reddish sun lighting the sky, you sort of vaguely work out directions. Or... their equivalent, anyway. Who knows what they use here, if there's even anyone around in this dimension?
... And yeah, you pick the West equivalent after a quick round of Eenie Meenie Minie Mo. It's basically science! But rhythmic science!
To add to the atmosphere, you manage to work up the enthusiasm for a good round of (sad) songs as you head in that direction, carefully picking up speed as you try not to sink in the sand or trip over.
Well, on the bright side, you pick up a Running skill pretty quickly (whatever that does), and level it up to 3 inside a couple of minutes of starting. Running and singing at the same time is a pain in the ass that leaves you short of breath and kind of distracted, but at least it's better than being distracted by being stuck in some kind of hell dimension, which... would probably be pretty worrying if you let yourself think about it. So you don't. You don't think about what might be happening back home. You don't think about whether you can get home. Right now...
You just... run.

In that order? Are you shitting me?
I'm going to have to work out some kind of weird coincidence bonus for that...

Welcome to a Zen Quest, where bullshit rolls happen. OTLI know, right?! My reaction was all like this:
OKAY, FUCK IT.
[ ] Continue on with a 'roll of 76' encounter, AND get another token to spend whenever you want
OR

You can't think of anything for the interrupt and bribing us with a token, right?

They're pretty much a get out of jail free card. We sort of become the QM for one turn, but if we use them, the situation we create must either be really cool or really funny. We almost used one to get a mob boss drunk by having one of his henchmen accidently step on and kill his dog.
The Froggy Ninja
The Blade Will Never Die
Basically whatever we want in a vague way. We state a goal and spend a token and then something happens to further that goal.

You can spend them to pull something completely bullshit impossible or basically twist plot in some way, as long as I've pre-approved it. You currently have two unspent. edit: What Colorblind said.
Actually I have two ideas in mind for the interrupt, so I'd toss a coin for it!

I think if can help us know more about the situation or how to get back.

Clearly, we are heartbroken over the betrayal of the completely innocent-looking witch-doctor that we trusted so much.
Or, in hindsight, we are depressed over our idiocy.

We have enough tokens. We might want to spend one on safely getting magic though.
