VANARA
[You suddenly find yourselves standing at the beginning of a large hedge maze, one with walls that extend so far above your head you're not quite certain where they end. There is no entrance behind you, and the bushes are so thick and full of thorns that attempting to crawl through them will result in numerous scratches]
[There is no way to go but forward]
[There is no way to go but forward]

ROUND ONE
- A jar of rat tails
- A jar of tiger eyes
- A jar of rabbit feet
- A jar of dragon hearts
- A jar of snake tongues
- A jar of horse stomachs
- A jar of goat horns
- A jar of monkey fingers
- A jar of rooster claws
- A jar of pig ears
[Each jar is clearly labeled, and the contents are exactly what the labels purport them to be. Choose three!]

Only three...
Re: DISCUSSION
Er... maybe we should take the rabbit feet? Aren't those supposed to be lucky?

ROUND TWO
[In front of you, and stretched across the path, is a large sphinx with a striped lioness' body. her wings are tucked at her sides, and she regards the group with a lazy, bored expression]
Mmmm. . . I would like something that moves like a whip and swishes to and fro. Do you have that for me, dears?

Probably.
[Trying to steal glances at the sphinx without looking her in the eyes.]

Re: DISCUSSION
Well.
Chimera looks between the sphinx and Gryphon a couple of times, before wordlessly holding up the snake tongues jar for the bird to see.]

[and laughs]
Aha! Tongues, you think I want tongues? You fools. . . it was tails I sought!
[and then disappears into a swirl of smoke, without leaving you or your team the ingredient. aw :( looks like that was the wrong answer after all]
[at least you get to keep the jar of tongues?]

Re: DECISION
ROUND THREE
[You stumble across another sphinx. Large, with blue fur and black hair, tiny wings protruding from his shoulders like stubs. he grumps at you all, chest puffed out formally.]
Give me something that amplifies the echoes you hear in a cavern.

...We don't have anything like that, I guess.

ROUND FOUR
[Until you find them. The last phoenix, crouched low on all fours and watching you with golden eyes. its lips are curled back in a snarl, but it doesn't pounce]
Something blue, brown, green, and black. Immediately!
