Labalyn's memorial

[Nephrite]

Now what?!

All he can do is try and figure out what's going on and see what's trying to kill him!

[Anastasia]

You look about. You are in the cell you rejected so many times. There is no sign of the divine seed.

[Nephrite]

Is this yet another part of the trial?

Or is this something else? There's no way it could be The Adversary so quickly, right?

Any magic? Spellcraft 113, K:A 118

[Anastasia]

There is no magic that you detect.

[Nephrite]

Yep... he's still in the trial, or something like that.

He will reach up to feel what is around his neck - a collar, chains, perhaps?

He looks around the cell to see if he's, in fact, chained up.

[Anastasia]

Rope is tied tight around your neck. Without warning, you are pulled up, dangling and choked by a noose. Even though you do not need to bleed, the nose chokes you, sending waves of white hot pain through your neck, chest and back.

[Nephrite]

It's too bad he doesn't still have that dagger...

Or does he?

All he can do for right now is what he always does - which is believe in himself and his hope. If this really is more of the trial, normal things wouldn't work to get rid of the rope anyway...

"Are you... still... trapped here?" Is all he can manage to get out, considering the circumstances.

[Anastasia]

You slowly realize the dagger is in hand, despite that you didn't hold it before.

[Nephrite]

"I won't... let you... still be trapped!" He manages, as he will try and swing the dagger up to cut the noose from above him!

[Anastasia]

With a swing of need and determination, you slice the noose away. You take in great gasps of air instinctively as the pain is gone. You hover in the air, recovering.

[Nephrite]

A dagger, a tear...

"I'm still not done, am I?" Moore asks. "That's fine, I'll do whatever I can for you."

He looks around again, things always change here in subtle ways.

[Anastasia]

You once again stand before the mural.

The mural no longer has a noose around its neck. Its other eye is gone as well, and behind the eyes you can see a glisten of something metallic.

[Nephrite]

Moore flies up to investigate!

"Was that part about being true to your beliefs actually even true?" He asks, not expecting a response. "Whether it was or not, and whether it was all an act, It's okay. I'll get you out of here."

[Anastasia]

Behind the eyes is a slight hollow, and in that hollow rests a rusted iron key.

[Nephrite]

"I did think it was strange after the tear and the dagger there never was a key." Moore says as he reaches in to take it and then see if anything happens in the courtyard.
