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.”

I've got this. I think.

[ Going to try setting a hand one one of those blisters, which glows bright red before starting to numb and heal. While Felix's hand is still a bloody mess, it doesn't look like there's any blood smeared on Zol at least ]

...You're a healer.
malignstar: (it all crashed down)

[ Pulls back hand to look at it. Though it's still pretty bloody it seems that the bite marks have completely healed as well. ]

Whoa... how did I... ?

A latent ability. That's incredible.
malignstar: (hell's angels)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-01-29 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I didn't even really know what it would do! Holy shit...

Uh, how does it feel?
grimpa: (38)

[personal profile] grimpa 2019-01-29 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's healed. It felt numb before the blisters faded. ...Thank you.
malignstar: (just a drop of rain)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-01-29 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it worked then. I'm glad.
