FINAL TRIAL

[The doors at the other end of the city do not open for the Titled. However, whatever is going on in there still brings forth bright lights from within, and ultimately, it is to the steps of the entrance that everyone is drawn to. It's not the most formal setting for figuring out the truth of the matter before them.

Eric's brought the snacks, at least.

The Dragonborn sits at the top of the stairs, looking down as everyone congregates.]

...Having this key...I am certain I can open the door with little difficulty. But before I do we must make certain we know and understand exactly what we will be facing. What we are facing. These people...they are doing something and we must ensure we can somehow stop it.


[The end is near. The objectives of this quest are simple:

Who is the Mastermind? What is going on in this world? And...of course...why did the Mastermind want to kill 15 strangers?

Good luck, Titled.]

That's probably what they were trying to summon, but they got us instead. But that doesn't make sense why they'd want us to kill each other, if they were researching a race that disappeared a long time ago.

[Don't mind him pacing a bit and tapping his thumb to his lip.]

If they knew we weren't what they were after, they would've just disposed of us from the start. They also wouldn't let one of us just kill everyone else, so maybe they needed us to die just a few at a time? Still, that wouldn't make sense of the whole trial system, unless they were bluffing about letting one of us go. Ugh, dammit, this isn't enough to go on yet!

I dunno, the pamphlet seems to think we're dumb enough to fall for it.

[You know, the one kids keep getting insulted about]

[carries_war]

Not our fault if they underestimate us. I thought the whole thing was bullshit from the start, what they were offering freedom for was practically impossible anyway.

[thiscomicsucks]

Well, yeah, that's on them, but this pamphlet seems to think we're just plain idiots in comparison to them. It doesn't even seem to want to entertain the thought that we're not who they think we are.

[carries_war]

Because that'd involve admitting they might've messed up. And if they're willing to play God, they're already convinced they don't make mistakes.

[thiscomicsucks]

Or that they're so pompous that they don't think they're wrong and never did.

...

Quick question, the name Lord Vyce come up in anything you've found?

[carries_war]

No, nothing. Seems like I wasn't the one finding a lot of written stuff, though...

[thiscomicsucks]

[Damn.]

Worth a shot, at least.
