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.”

Something like that.
lapofluxury: (huh.)

Weird. But that's cool, I guess. It'd be way easier if there was something we could call him, though.

Is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named too much of a reference, or-- wait. You probably don't get that anyways. Nevermind.
crimeson: (if you can stay one more hour)

Yep, not a clue what you're talking about. We'll probably get a name out of him one of these days at least?
lapofluxury: (smug)

Just keep calling him different names until he responds back to one.
crimeson: (i'm sorry brother)

[laughs]

How about I leave that one to you? We'll call it team bonding.
lapofluxury: (:D)

You got it. We'll get a name out of him in no time.
crimeson: (just by the side of amsterdam-)

Excellent plan! Looking forward to finding out what it is.
