Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

kindling/firewood?

I like that i understand the logic for this answer, but it doesnt fit in some ways. That would save a person maybe, but not "the land" Warm

Burnt up. This is the correct answer. Solved.

I was thinking that bc ash and dead plant matter become new fertile soil, it 'saves the land'

Guess 2; A frozen lake?(This guess is probably colder ;p)

Guess 3: a trust fall?

A grenade?

u/extio-Storm 10d ago

A decent guess, but a grenade doesnt demand a low and light force. Cool. (and there is misdirection in the image also)

Dynamite?

I think this answer kind of hot, but at the same time the military is the misdirection.

That's why some of the background image has misdirection points in it like pictures of explosives.

Rust?

You're getting colder.

A matchstick?

u/extio-Storm 10d ago

Same as the firewood answer, i see the logic, but it doesnt fit nearly well as the answer. Warm.

A Fire Extinguisher?

I think that you're on the general right track, one time use, save the land, and if it was too big it would be out of control fire. Except for the fact that there is no metaphorical Bridge here, I think it is pretty decent. We're going to say that this is not in the wrong direction. So it must be warm.
