Aw the ending scene is cute. I think the bard thinks you succeeded his quest when you find the match but didn't light the area. He was performing in the dark :(

The bard may perform in the dark, but in his soul he is playing in front of an audience of millions.


(I'll probably release a patch fixing some bugs in a day or so, the monk and bard are the most technical and thus the most buggy. Thanks for playing!)
