Andy challenges us with his trickiest puzzle yet! It's got orbs and magical effects and dangerous-sounding sounds and basically it seems like we're screwed, so that's cool. But also we might be reunited with someone we know, even though we're out here in the middle of nowhere stranded on an iceberg?? Exciting, maybe!

And now there came both Goats and Dragons, 
A story boldly told: 
And dice, many-sided, came rolling by, 
And yes, some crits were rolled. 

And the heroic Family 
Did sail upon the sea: 
Charity, Burbage, Stormbringer, 
And the fierce Hakari. 

It wasn't often they saw glowing dolpins, 
Out of the ocean they came; 
Andy painted a lovely scene, 
The dolphins, they seemed tame! 

...And then one of the crew got all agro and things got kind of tense lol. Enjoy!
