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: ENDGAME
I'm sorta.
...the opposite of being able to see?

Re: ENDGAME
Are you okay? How's your arm?
Re: ENDGAME
Re: ENDGAME
I would've been really, really scared if I'd been up there.
Re: ENDGAME
Thank you for keeping me safe. I know we agreed on it, but I'm sorry-- I could not do anything to help, myself.
Re: ENDGAME
It's okay.
We're a team, right? So we can. Look out for each other. [You pause for a second.] ...sorry about your arm, though.
Re: ENDGAME
--It's fine. You all made the best decision you could with the information at hand. We'll figure out something for your eyes, as well.
Re: ENDGAME
...I really hope it's not permanent. This is already really weird.
