Origin Star Finale: Session 3

Who: explorers
When: Day 54, early afternoon
Where: The Final Island

[After returning from the second mission with a little extra cargo, Thyme waits another 20 minutes before calling for the third and hopefully final round of totem hunting.
One more. If you have the energy to help, climb aboard.

Characters attending session 3 may now board the airship. As it flies, they'll get their briefing:]

If you haven't gone in yet, please pay attention.

Your objective is to find and deactivate a totem -- a source of Malice in the target area. You'll probably come up against enemies, but try to defeat them by showing them positive emotions, not through combat. Defend yourselves if you have to, but keep in mind killing things won't purify them.

This is the last totem as far as we can tell, so it's vital that you get to it one way or another.

[You land, this time, in a clearing in front of a ruined temple. The heavy bronze doors, cast with images of stars, have swung open, and one has fallen from its hinges to lay in the grass.]

[Something heavy definitely hit the wall here. There's nothing to indicate what, but the ceiling directly above it appears a slightly different tone than the rest.]

[sigh ok this is where the trap may be but

lets check it out anyway.

ice forms beneath her feat and begins to rise in a pillar toward BUT JUST TO THE SIDE of the part in the ceiling in case anything nasty happens.]

[It's got a gap around the edge! But it doesn't move.]

[



okay on the one hand, she is reasonably certain this could be bad

but she's not 100% certain! so she's going to try and break that panel!

for SCIENCE!]

[You can! There's a trap mechanism up there, with a giant stone ball on a chain. But it doesn't drop, because you didn't hit the trigger... and now the mechanism is broken.

So you're safe to proceed!]

[alright, safety first. lets head to the next door]
