The first key tastes of river water. The second catches like a thorn. The third hums against the stone.
Beneath the door is an inscription: THE BELL IS A MOUTH. IT RINGS BECAUSE NO ONE ANSWERS.
You can force the door and face its keeper. If you carried all three mercies and still have a flame, you can answer before the hundredth toll is ever struck.

What you carry
I. Black-glass tooth / taken from the river; +1 flame capacity.
