A Collapsible tripod is a scripted roleplaying tool that is used in conjunction with campfires. It can be used various with cooking vessels, such as a tea kettle.

Analyze

You analyze your wrought iron poles and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is a collapsible tripod for use near a campfire, bonfire, fireplace, or other similar source of heat. When positioned correctly, it will provide heat to vessels such as tea kettles in a manner similar to that of a portable stove.

You can OPEN the wrought iron poles to assemble the tripod.

To use the tripod, you will need to OPEN the wrought iron poles to assemble it before you PLACE it on the ground. Then you can PUT a kettle or similar vessel ON the tripod to hang it from the included hook.

If the vessel hanging on the tripod seems to be cold or not receiving heat, you can try to NUDGE it to reposition it near a heat source. You will know if no suitable heat source is nearby.

This item has been customied with the following descriptions:
Fancy binding: braided hemp rope with charred edges

You can wrap your wrought iron poles with your braided hemp rope to change the binding on the poles to braided hemp rope with charred edges.

You get no sense of whether or not the poles may be further lightened.
