FINAL TRIAL

[Soon enough, soon enough.

The ticking doesn't stop by the time everyone starts to congregate at the temple. It's ultimately not hard to find; after going north for a little bit, it becomes all too clear where the temple is.]




[The very top of the temple has a room, one of cold stone and blood. There is a stone table at the center; there is nothing on it but dried blood. There are no chairs, no food, no coffins-only small, hastily-scribbled circles to indicate where people might need to stand to face their captors.

And stand they will need to, as they wait for the Stewards to arrive. The time for what will very likely be a final confrontation is almost upon them. Now it's just a question of putting together the clues they've found-and seeing if there truly is a way out of this predicament.

Only one thing is certain-at this point, anything is possible.]



[It's time! The objectives are simple in this trial. It's time to finally answer the questions the Titled have about why they are here, and what, exactly, the route they all intend to take after five long weeks - especially when the Stewards arrive.

GOOD LUCK, TITLED!]

[EDIT: VOTING IS OPEN! This will close at midnight EST on May 25th!]

[No. All of the bats dissipate, until there is one bat left.

On very dead bat.


Mosquito, the Elder Steward, is dead.

[woooow. what a ripoff tbh.]

Did he not even have one....?! I wanted to kick it around a bit.

[necroyalty]

...I really ought to be more surprised than I am.

[whiterosefoes]

Never mind. What of the other one? It seems that BREW he has can also manipulate time.

It seems to me this is what he meant to use when he said he could send us home.

[joinhands]

Don't we come from different worlds? Wouldn't he also need to manipulate "space"...?

[whiterosefoes]

Well, even if space is a different 'magic tool', he managed to bring us here in the first place, so he must have that too. But this is the only one that was written about, so...

[She huffs.]

Honestly, what I really would like is to find what's causing our powers to be dampened. Talking about time and space, the rose cards should have been able to teleport us out ages ago.

[incendiarize]

....maybe the weird thingy outside....? I dunno.

[whiterosefoes]

We have no idea what it is, huh...

[necroyalty]

If there's something causing our powers to be dampened, then I'll wager there's also a means by which we can un- dampen them.

[ She's got Plane Shift yo. ]

If we can find our way to Sigil, that significantly improves our odds of finding our way back.

[whiterosefoes]

Well, I'm game.

[So... is there a bat-size soul, or...?]
