There didn't seem to be anyway across the gap. I could see what looked like more cavern on the other side, but I couldn't even be sure of that (because my torch and vision only go so far, I could have just been seeing a wall on the other end that was painted to look like another side, how someone would paint that? I dunno its not my weirdo painted cavern thing!). I thought at first maybe the way forward was invisible (look anything is possible in a world with magic) but my attempts to throw small objects where it should be came up with nothing (naturally). So there I was at the end of an ice cave, broken assed and without ideas. It crossed my mind that perhaps this was some kind of trap for asshole treasure hunters. Lure people to a cave on top of a mountain and then put them in a killing jar type situation. It was actually a brilliant theory and I would have loved to hash out who set it up and who distributed the maps... IF I WASN'T SEEMINGLY TRAPPED IN THE SITUATION THAT WAS POSSIBLY GOING TO KILL ME!
I'll admit facing my own certain death for what felt like the eight hundredth time recently (when am I not in danger? Uhh never). I kind of panicked and started lobbing fire, I guess my reasoning was if I was going to go out, I was going to go out setting shit on fire (the most Lorentino solution ever). It was during this tantrum, err strategic application of fire to solve my problem I happened to burn away part of the ice cavern and reveal a completely different route to go. Now I could only assume this was clearly a test to see if whoever came up the mountain could conjure flame (because we are truely the gods most chosen people, I mean look at the charmed life I lead for examples). So instead of trying to burn more things and discover the truth of that I just walked down the newly opened side way and promptly got stuck in a room full of spikes.
I tell you its almost like someone said "This treasure is not for you." Over and over, but unfortunately for them I don't listen to anyone who is not me!
