Orillium Year Long Challenge 2024 - hosted by asahome

March
If you relied on your strength, you cut your way through wild vines blocking an ancient exit: read a book that is neither the first nor last in a series.

If you relied on your wits, you remove a complex lock enchantment cast on the exit door: start or continue a series that intimidates you.
