Your foot still stings from your encounter with the flames by the entrance–the ones that didn’t seem to illuminate the room at all, but had no trouble toasting your toes! They felt real enough, sure, but what’s their deal anyways? Could they be…
<span class="mu-b">GHOST FLAMES?!</span>
The paranormal investigation will have to go on hold for now. Following the faint sound of crackling and the heat, you manage to locate another pile of burning debris and snatch some up in your hand!
Flinging it in the hound huddle’s general direction, you allow yourself a quick fist pump when you hear the alpha dog yelp in surprise! Chucking the rest of the burning bric-a-brac at your assailants, your persistence pays off when you hear them scamper off into what you can only assume is a hole in the wall…
As the chamber goes quiet again, your victory holler is cut short by the post-adrenaline pain in your wounds! Clutching your still-oozing arm, you press your <span class="mu-s">PLUSH ROBE</span> against it and rise to your feet.
The beaked bastards may be gone, you think to yourself, but they’ll be back… you add a little nod to the end of your statement for good measure before continuing onward. As you move to see where your attackers went, however, you stub your toe on something even <span class="mu-s">BIGGER</span> and <span class="mu-s">MORE METAL</span> than your <span class="mu-s">DAGGER!</span>
<span class="mu-r">STUBBED TOE COUNT: 2</span>
Stumbling like a drunk at a wedding, you’re just about to regain your balance when you stumble over <span class="mu-i">ANOTHER</span> object: This one made of some kind of <span class="mu-s">LEATHER!</span> You don’t even bother trying after that–letting gravity carry you forwards, you ultimately lose your footing when you trip over a <span class="mu-s">THIRD</span> obstacle–one very similar to the one you encountered in the previous room!
You’ve had quite a few goofy pratfalls today, so getting up and recovering doesn’t take you much time. Still clutching your robe’s sleeve close to your wound, you take your time investigating the stuff you tripped over…
