[FIREBIRD EXPLORE - 9 PM]

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a small triangular room with high, high walls. All three walls are made of glass. Through one, all you see is white light moving in strange angular patterns. Through the second, the same white light forms great starbursts. Through the third, the light coils and wheels.

It's quite bright. The floor is made of ruddy beaten copper. The ceiling is a vast mirror. In the middle of the floor is a great copper bowl filled with something white and wavering, like smoke.

You find three copper tokens in your hand. They are flat, shaped like apples. Engraved on each is the word OPEN.

Your shadow reflection seems to come apart--it becomes the shadows of many small birds, fluttering away.

Back in central room, +1 brass key.

*I guess it's time to use those keys on the keyholes, then.*

The eggshells shatter apart, and the smoky thing collapses silently into the bowl, weaving and writhing. But it can't seem to get out...

You abruptly find yourself back in the Ring.
