Gathering the flowers until he had a lovely bouquet, Tal slipped past the final guardian of the Eye and found himself in the center of the maze. And if he felt a little smug, well, he hadn’t come here intending to solve the riddle of the roses, but since he accidentally had, he might as well take a look at the fancy fire he’d heard bedtime stories about as a boy.
It was… weird. Off, somehow. An illusion instead of a real fire, maybe? ”I dunno, girl,” he mumbled to his dragon, where she huffed grumpy smoke rings at the eternal flame in draconic envy. ”Think it’ll make my items stronger?” Boreal paused to tilt her head at him and he grinned sheepishly. ”Yeah, probably not. But we won’t know if we don’t try, right?” He tucked his bouquet safely into his Bag and pulled his Goggles down, adjusting them firmly over his eyes – safety first! ”On three… One… Two…”
Man and dragon got a running start and leapt through the flames: ”Three!”
Tal has himself, everything on his profile (including his companion), a knife, and the contents of his Bag of Holding:
Bouquet of roses, long rope, glaive, half a dozen throwing axes, full-sized axe, first aid kit, canteen of water, leftover sandwich from lunch, and three changes of underwear.
