'-------------------------------------------'

Your tempered weapon gains one might. Your blood capacity has grown by one.

You walk under the lake as if under a low, black ceiling. Fish drift through the rafters of drowned houses. Somewhere a child sings one line of a lullaby, over and over.

Small lights move in a drainage channel to the east. The creature that swallowed them could refill your lantern. The song comes from the west.

Choose your way

Follow the singing / enter the drowned nursery

Wade into the lamp-sump / hunt a creature full of fire

What you carry

I. Reed token / Wren remembered; a name can lower a sword.

II. Iron spur / Edrin's strength; +1 might.

Mercies kept: 1 of 3. Weapon: kiln-tempered notched sword.
