The Eleventh Trial

[catcophonous]

Who: everyone
When: Day 23, evening
Where: The Trial Zone

[Just as twilight darkens the clearing, you hear the train's customary shift, the sign of a Trial.

Outside in the clearing, a brick building has appeared. It's shabby, paint peeling from the heavy door, but the windows are full of neon signs advertising various brands of liquor. From inside you can hear the thumping of bass, and the faint sounds of a rowdy rock song.

A voice chimes in, lazy but amused.]

You all know what this is. I'm not "come hither"ing you. Just get in here.

Yep! Any letters at all.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Any limit on the number of letters?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Nope, you've got as many or as few as you'd like.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Probably a three-letter word though...

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

I... got that one wrong so I can't help you there.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! What about the other one then? With the music?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

The music one was only numbers for input, and.... that's the only other one I got wrong.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

What about the seventh puzzle??

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

The other ones were a round cake that you had to make eight pieces of using only three cuts... and the last was a riddle: "Marking mortal privation, when firmly in place. An enduring summation, inscribed in my face. What am I?"

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

I already know the cake one... That riddle sounds hard though!

[YES, GOOD, A CHALLENGE]

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Heh! Enjoy working it out for yourself!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

My first guess would be a skull, since they have faces, but that doesn't match for something you would set in place...

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Nope! Not quite.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

But it is something to do with death though, right?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Oh yeah, you're definitely on the right track there.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Summation— there's only a couple things that summarize after death, and an obituary or a death certificate aren't enduring or set firmly. Not really inscribed either. They would be boring answers too, sooo... Gravestone!

There's a win to the cute girl in green!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

[claps her hands]

Yaaay!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

I'm not surprised you got it, though. You're pretty smart.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

That's two of us that are pretty smart then, since you solved it first~

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Thanks!

[who needs modesty at 800 poinnts]

Thyme didn't get very far, but this is way more my kind of trial. It was fun!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

Right?! I want more like that one!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Right! It's all wits and smarts. You've actually won something if you win it!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bad_crowmance]

It's an accomplishment!
