THIRD TRIAL

[bathymetric]

If you have time for a grisly operation like that, I think you've had all the time you need to gather evidence. Please proceed to the door to the trial room elevator as quickly as possible.

[ Once you arrive, it's the same song and dance as the last two weeks. Angel helps you all get through the vault door and into the elevator, and watches as you all make the slow descent to the dome below. Standing in the elevator is more than a comfortable fit now, even for the largest among you. A few more of you lost and there'll be room enough to pace in here.

But maybe you don't want to think about that.

The dome of the trial room is the same as it's been, the only change the dull red glow coming from the two newly-unoccupied podiums. The screens above flick on, and lower down to make an address. ]

You know the score by now. Find Seteth's killer and you can all go free. Fool them all, killer, and you'll have your life and your reward. Other than that, whatever happens here is between all of you. Call for me if you need anything.

[ The screens rise again, leaving you here.

Welcome to your third trial. ]

It took over a thousand years of ruling and so many failures... but it matters little now. Whether she turns back the hands of time or simply creates a new generation of my kin, I will have won...! You, with your rebellious heart, may curse fate but in the end the river of time pulls us along all the same!

[ HE'S STILL VERY ANGY but he's managing to be somewhat chill for now. For Now. ]

Gotta say, I look forward to the day when someone kicks your sanctimonious ass.

[ He can recommend a protag who wears red clothes, if you need. ]

It is too late for that.

[She's already got a shorty in red who wants to mount a dragon's head on her wall, it's okay.]
