First Tribute in the Floodplain Forest

The first tribute in the Floodplain Forest will find a sealed hand-written letter nailed to one of the trees.

Dear Tribute,

I do hope you are still coherent when you find this, what a waste of a letter otherwise.
How are you enjoying the arena? Pretty spectacular isn’t it?
The mutts aren’t bothering you too much, are they?
I’ve left you something to help with them, see the back of this letter.
Anyway, good luck out there, you’ll need it.

Valentine Seuss

Flipping the letter over, you find a dog biscuit taped to the back. Somehow, you don’t think it will help much at all.
