The Ninth Trial

Who: everyone
When: Day 18, starting just after dawn
Where: The Hermit's Tent, and all around

[This morning as the sun begins to pour through the train's windows, there's the tremor that signals a Trial.]

Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth. Or something like that!

[It's the same older man's voice from the sixth trial, and outside is the same fortune teller's stall. Today the front flap is lifted to show a normal interior -- there's a wooden table, carved with geometric patterns and painted in bright colours, lit by teal-coloured carved candles.

At the table sits a man of indeterminate age, somewhere between 30 and 60. He's wearing what appear to be monk's robes, teal with patterned trimming. In front of him is a crystal ball and a stack of bingo cards, along with a stand-up sign bearing the rules of this Trial.

Across the top in large font, it says:

Icebreaker Bingo


Good luck and have fun!]

Not if you drink that much coffee, you aren't.

Honestly, I'd be awake without the coffee anyways.

Oh, do you have insomnia?

[shrugs like YEAH, probably,]

I think it's from stress? And then when I'm stressed I find work, and when I work I don't even try to sleep, so... It's not a great combination.
