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.”

Fang! Are you okay? Is that broken!?

I'm fine! It's dislocated. Are the others all right? I couldn't--

[stops, but-- couldn't really much focus on what was going on for the team, for a lot of that]

We're okay, there's just some bleeding, but Smile is blind.

[a a a a a a a a a]

...Can we fix that?
bowtiedbones: (35)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-01-27 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don’t know. Their eyes aren’t injured, so it could wear off...?
grimpa: (79)

[personal profile] grimpa 2019-01-27 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...We'll find a way.
bowtiedbones: (74)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-01-27 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
We will.

We need to get you fixed first though, or they'll worry.

--Yes. I just need someone to re-set my arm.
bowtiedbones: (26)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-01-28 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if anybody knows how to do that? We could pay for a pod.

[waves that off with his good hand]

Someone will know.

[I feel deep in my amnesiac heart that this is a basic life skill]
bowtiedbones: (35)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-01-29 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
We can afford a pod though. I have over 3000 sparks.

Okay, but we still should get some ice on your shoulder. And your legs need first aid, too.
