DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Fun & Games ETD: Escape the Dream Episode I: The Dreamthief's Tavern

You look around at the objects you've collected and not yet used.

There's the brick you removed from near the fireplace, or the hole it left, or maybe something related?

There's also the hammer you found in the crate.

And what was that song you saw?

With careful measrements using Alduin's method I pour 2oz of liquid into the round basin.

Sorry like everyone guess we've all been busy with holiday stuff! Still busy myself but some thoughts that might help others..

The fire gives no warmth. - so maybe we should light a fire?
The water has no taste. - do we need to flavour it?
The earth bears no weight. - maybe the brick needs to go in the hole again?
The air carries no song. - maybe need to create a melody or sound?
Balance them, and wake. - And then this results.

You consider the parchment's four elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Air.

They match the suit of armor's. Indeed, it seems you probably need to solve one puzzle in each category.

You've got the earth, possibly, with the balanced stones. And the water quantity and basin.

But fire and air... maybe that song about the wind is applicable for the air, and lighting the fireplace seems to make sense, too. But how?

As you look more closely at the armor, you think there might be something hidden behind that dusty visor.

Carefully lift the visor.

You get a bit of dust on your fingers, but you find a dusty leather-bound volume, with a cloth bookmark. You open to the bookmarked page and read:

Dragon's Breath Ignition (For Smithwork)

For a flame that reveals:
1. Salt of Silver (cleanses).
2. Niter from the Red Rock (quickens).
3. A Spark from the Heart Itself (ignites).
