release: v0.2.1

Closes #95

## Summary

`void_walker` adventurers (130K combat power each) were locked behind `fire_temple`, which requires 4.8B combat power. The best adventurer available before completing that quest was `arcane_scholar` at 45K CP each — meaning players needed ~107K arcane scholars to break through, versus ~37K if they had void walkers. Classic chicken-and-egg wall.

## Changes

- Moved `void_walker` adventurer reward from `fire_temple` to `lava_flows` (the entry quest to Volcanic Depths, no CP requirement)
- Added 40M gold reward to `fire_temple` to replace the removed adventurer unlock

Players now unlock `void_walker` as soon as they enter the zone, giving them the combat power boost before they need to grind toward the temple.
