Nope you should be fine.standing stones has an embed,lily's quest has and ember, pieres quest gives you an ember and the statues in the mine give you an ember
ahh no yes you are right that is a soft lock let me add a way around it.I have added the forge so its accessible without the campfire lit so you can get copper axe so you can cut pine to make totem to get ember to allow for easier access to a shop in the mines. Might have the pine forest locked off by copper axe too in the future so its not as convoluted if you go to the mine last.
