Swamped

You really don't feel safe carrying more than one of these objects. So you decide to keep the sausage, since it might get eaten... you don't think Mortimer's likely to eat it, since lizards don't have especially strong stomachs. But he might run into another hungry creature that's not as picky.

The figurine is probably sturdy enough to be safe. Unless he hides it in a nest of termites or something.

You put down the mirror and figurine in front of him.

"Hide these somewhere safe," you say. "And not near each other."

"Hide!" Mortimer declares, grabbing the figurine and running off. He leaves the mirror there - maybe he'll come back for it. You decide to wait for a little bit, and come up with a different plan if he doesn't return by then.

He scurries back in just as you start to lose patience, and puts the mirror carefully on his back. He seems to be balancing it well.

So. Now you've got a raw sausage.

You wrap it in some note paper and put it in your pouch. May as well see how Minnie's doing.

As you approach the emergency exit, though, you notice there's a bit of a crowd gathering around it. You think you might want to stay back and watch for a moment, just to get a sense of what's going on.
