WEEK 4


[It is late in the afternoon when the Titled finally wake up from their long, vivid sleep. What day is it? Maybe it doesn't matter.

They weren't awake when it happened, but the final set of doors have opened. The Intercessor hasn't emerged from their room. There is no sign of the grumpy old man. And, the Titled may notice that nothing has been cleaned up - including the remains of those who prompted the Investigation - since they went into the Debate Hall. No new food has been supplied in the Kitchen, either.

The only replenishing food supply is in the Conservatex - who knows when those'll get ripped out from the ground out of spite, though. Their captors certainly showed themselves to not be above petty revenge, unfortunately.

So many questions now swirl. Is the old man hiding? Is the Intercessor ok? What the hell happened with the dragon? What about that other group which the Titled have come to realize exist? What did their captors have planned? And...really, what the hell else is going to happen now?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be good.

So get ready, Titled.

There are nine (but perhaps only eight?...) strangers in this place.]

If it's still good, yeah. We should butcher and smoke whatever we can.

[bythewaves]

Mm, I only worry that they might poision the beasts, and render the meat unusable - although I suppose they can do that to what we salt or smoke, also.

[carries_war]

Yeah, with those invisibility potions, there's not much we can do to stop them. Though we should be able to at least rig up some booby traps that'll let us know if stuff's been tampered with.

[zephyranthe]

I can do that. I'll also see if McBurn had anything for that. He was bringing up stuff to his room to use for traps, too.

[bythewaves]

We could ask Payprus about traps - admittedly, most of his are blatantly obvious but... blatantly obvious can be useful as distraction, too.

[zephyranthe]

He thinks of 'em as puzzles, though... I think that'd mean he'd let them find a way out if they did it right.

[...]

...Maybe if we modify 'em after.

[bythewaves]

That was my thought - and that way also folk would hopefully not be expecting the changes.

[zephyranthe]

It can't hurt. Hopefully it doesn't make it a pain for us to get around, though...

[bythewaves]

Well, if we confine it to certain areas, perhaps?
