There is one last task that is involved,
For if you wish to cross the threshold
Then you must pay with what runs cold.”

Matt wagged his finger. “Ah ah ah, no peeking. I’ve got prototypes for other riddles for my other campaigns in here, and I don’t want anyone spoiling them before they’re ready.” Instead, he recited it one more time very slowly. Tanya flipped over her character sheet and wrote down key words and anything Matt over-enunciated.
