With the Knife Squirrel off gathering materials the core turned her attention to the first room. A single acorn was manifested and buried deep within the rotting stump. Ribbons of orange mana flowed deep into the stump.
The core waited. And waited. Knife returned with a few dandelions and a shelf mushroom, ticking up her mana to five, then darted back into the wild. She frowned, had something gone wrong?
The old stump split in two as a new sapling suddenly erupted from it, shedding the old wood. It shot up suddenly, growing taller and thickening by the second, a hollow forming in the center where the enchanted twig reformed in a swirl of orange mana. Branches shot out in every direction, leaves bursting out behind them. Five of the acorns took on an orange sheen.

<span class="mu-i">Visitors can opt into this challenge when entering the glade. They have five minutes to acquire all five enchanted acorns, receiving a prize on completion. Prize defaults to a random squirrel themed treasure. Successful completion grants the dungeon five mana.</span>
The core nodded and pondered if the challenge prize would also count as a claimed treasure. Knife the squirrel slinked back into the clearing, drenched and ragged looking.
<span class="mu-i">What happened to you?</span>
Knife glowered and shook water off of himself, sending mud and water in all directions before squeezing water from his tail. Little orange flames followed each drop, along with a steady rise in mana.

<span class="mu-i">You’re pretty focused on the things you want, aren’t you?</span>
Knife shrugged and scampered back into the forest. At least it was diligent.
