FIFTH TRIAL

[bathymetric]

[ It's not terribly long, once everything has been found, before Davy Jones heads out to round you all up once more and take you into the theatre. At least plenty of you are around the same area, so it probably doesn't take terribly long.

The ride down to the trial room is the same as ever - a blast of the organ, a slow descent. It's really starting to become clear, though, just how your numbers are decreasing. You're already down three, counting the absence of Chloe, potentially more when you come back up.

The crew of the Dutchman is singing as Jones lets you out into the trial room. ]

To business, passengers. I am about if you need guidance.

[ The circle of podiums is less populated than ever. So many of you are islands now, so to speak.

The song dies down, the waters quiet.

Welcome to your fifth trial.. ]

...I appreciate the creativity, I suppose...?

[oh my god why this.]

That does seem likely, Filbo, since whatever Decus was poisoned with didn't kill him.

So...maybe this was just meant to make whoever ate it be unable to do anything? Since they'd be feeling sick? I dunno, if this was meant to be fatal maybe something more dangerous would have been used.

Well, on the other paw, this was in the activated charcoal, so maybe the usual poisons wouldn't work anyway.

It does seem unlikely that someone would try to poison someone else in a way that wouldn't be fatal... Perhaps they didn't realize the activated charcoal would mess up their plan?
