Challenge for Tower of Fire

[Strawberry]

Mrs. Blackthorne,

Hopefully I can count. Seeing as it's after 9 on the 30th day, I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring for your tower. It would match my rock nicely and I think I could learn a lot from the libraries. Plus, if I win, it frees you up to go for the last one you need for that sweet All Tower.

So I challenge for Tower of Fire.

This challenge is valid and may proceed!!

[Rachael Blackthorne]

A thick white sheet of parchment was tacked to the corkboard with a black and gold pushpin. The message that it contained was written in an exceptionally precise left-handed script in black ink. A seal in black and gold wax with the impression in the wax of a panther head was at the bottom of the parchment.

Karma,

Your reasons for your challenge for the custodianship of the Fire Tower are your own. I do not and will not presume to question them.

I hereby officially accept this challenge.



--Rachael Blackthorne
Current custodian of the Tower of Fire
Prior custodian of the Celestial Tower
Prior custodian of the Tower of Air
Prior custodian of the Tower Of Earth

Max was calling, so you know there were also cookies out for the evening! Two types and clearly marked!

Safe for all to eat (including mischievous kitten types!) were some tasty paw print sugar cookies.



And then out of reach of little ones and such were some of Max's Special Status Effect Sugar Cookies! Do you dare and take a bite and see what will happen?




(( These cookies are clearly marked and available to play into if you wish to! Roll a die in the #green-room, ?roll1d3 and see what the cookie causes! The flames do not burn, and the effects do not last very long. This is just for fun and not required to play into!
Roll a 1 - Hot Breath: breathe fire like a dragon!
Roll a 2 - Hot Head: flames shoot out of your head! (The fire does not burn anything, your hair and clothing are fine!)
Roll a 3 - Fire Friend: summons a small fire minion that follows you about for a short while and will light your path! ))
