Caves of Curiosity

With some tried-and-true adventuring equipment in hand, you approach the mouth of a dank cave. A faint voice whispers from within, “Bring only one of your items to help you through the tunnels. If you trace a true path that never crosses or doubles back on itself, you will find us!” Start in the upper left corner with a COMPASS, some ROPE, or a TORCH, and move through the caves like a maze, subtracting, adding, or replacing letters as indicated from the current letters you have. For instance, if your current letters are “BAG” and you move across a “-B,” you will be left with “AG.” If you cannot remove or change the letter indicated, you cannot move through that space. For instance, you can't move through the “-B” space on the map if you don't have a B. At the ♻ symbol, reverse the order of the letters you currently have. By reaching the lower right corner of the caves, you will discover the source of the voice.
