  [1] (Equipment) The Lantern is designed to be self-lighting. You will not need a Tinderbox or any other means of creating a flame to light it.

  [2] (Equipment) You have no opportunity to use safekeeping at the Monastery or Dessi at the beginning of this adventure. It is therefore inappropriate for you to store surplus items in safekeeping or likewise to retrieve any. Items that may already be stored there will be safe, but you may not add any more at the beginning of this adventure.

  [3] (Equipment) You have no opportunity to use safekeeping at the Monastery or Dessi at the beginning of this adventure. It is therefore inappropriate for you to store surplus items in safekeeping or likewise to retrieve any. Items that may already be stored there will be safe, but you may not add any more at the beginning of this adventure.
