A Fishy Medal
YYou slip off your boots, roll up your pants, and step into the creek. The cool water is pleasantly refreshing after all of the hard crime-fighting work you've gone through. As you wander down the stream, you notice the moonlight glinting off of shapes of silvery fish that are swimming along with you. Something about their shape is a little odd, or a little ancient, you're not sure. As you watch them swim around, a different type of glint catches your eye. You reach into the water and pull up a silver disk, or medal. You decide to take it with you.
You got an item: seal o' canth
Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
You decide you don't care what the sign says--it was probably put up by a villain anyway. Without giving it any thought you stride across the dewy grass and creep into the woods, trying to catch up with the dodo. Thankfully the bird lives up to its reputation and seems spectacularly unconcerned when you stumble upon it a minute later. In fact, it ignores you completely as it finds its way through the trees to a small brick building. There's a feeding trough there, and the dodo begins pecking avidly at the shiny metal of the trough, completely ignoring the birdseed and fruit inside.
