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.”

At that, Pathiri kind of. Pauses? And turns upward to give Naan a weird look.]

Did I say something wrong again?

Quit making that face. I'm not gonna bite you.
[Even if Naan did, Pathiri apparently isn't going to tell him what.]

Which face? [ is this face better ]

[REACHES UP TO PROD HIM IN THE CHEEK, which absolutely looks like bullying and is thus probably counterproductive.]

[The face of someone who did not consider what he was doing to be bullying and isn't entirely convinced but the other person is clearly unhappy and he doesn't want that so]
