The Fourth Trial
Who: Heroes
When: Day 9, Midday
Where: The Dragon's Tower
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.
The earth rumbles beneath your feet with a mighty roar. This time a crumbling stone tower looms above you, unscalable and unbreachable. At the top of the tower is a single window with a single light, beckoning. The only entrance at the base is an arched wooden door which creaks in protest when you open it.
Upon entering the tower you will find yourself in a large room with high walls constructed of dark, uneven brick stone. The ceiling is so high that you cannot see anything but darkness as torches lining the walls serve as the only source of light. The room itself is achingly cold. It’s reminiscent of a dungeon… or a treasure room.
But the only treasure to be found lies in the middle of the room; a small pile of seven bracelets, each one inlaid with a beautiful jewel corresponding to each team’s color. It may be fairly obvious, but just in case anyone is slow on the uptake:
“What is it that you treasure in this world? What are you willing to give up? Until you can decide that much, you will not be allowed to leave this room. It matters not to me if you rot in here.
However, I will tell you this much; should you decide who among you is most precious, only they may bear the weight of your altruism.”

Re: MINGLE
What does it mean by...most precious? And bearing weight?
[Going by pattern, probably something to do with murder or poison.]
Re: MINGLE
["us" as in "the actual adults on this team" sorry frisk]
[also just automatically shrugging out of his giant coat and dumping it on your head]
Re: MINGLE
We can handle it if we've gotta. We just wanna do whatever will help us win.
[What's this we stuff.]
Re: MINGLE
...Is Saber here?
Re: MINGLE
[You point at the empty space behind you. People are gonna start thinking you're weird if you keep doing that.]
Re: MINGLE
We'll ensure that everyone is looked after.

Do they get cold?
Re: MINGLE
...
They said they don't think so.
Re: MINGLE
[nods]
Very well.
Re: MINGLE
Re: MINGLE
Probably.
Probably something to do with poison or death, huh.
