Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

There is no pain. You pick up the dagger without incident.

[Nephrite]

Well, the last one took a while to start, so for now he holds the dagger.

If nothing happens, he will unsheathe it!

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens. It's a sharp dagger but unpolished, dull in the dimness of this prison.

[Nephrite]

It's easy enough to generate some light around himself and to properly polish the dagger with his divine will!

Perhaps it's the reflection of the dagger...?

[Anastasia]

The dagger does not change.
Why did you make this choice and go through with it, Moore?
No, the dagger is as dull and listless as before, but it feels heavier now.
Ilsenine looks on at you, still visibly stricken, a hand to her mouth.
You feel weariness as you hold the dagger, like the deep fatigue from a long day's work.

[Nephrite]

"You've been at this for a time that many people likely can't count." Moore says. "You deserve a reprieve from it - and to rest. I'm sorry for what it is you've suffered."

Someone who was forced into this against their will -- the other Guardians were given roles and given some limited amounts of freedom. But this one...

Moore will continue to hold the dagger and be weary and fatigued. He can't let go of this one and let it be someone else's problem.

The last one seemed to be the manifestation of the burden of all of this, perhaps this is the manifestation of just wanting it to be over and the weariness from it?

So maybe...

"You can rest, your vigil will be over soon. I'll see to it." He says.

[12:40] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+36
[12:40] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{49} CL check.

He's casting Sleep on it.

[Anastasia]

Give me an immediate Will save.

[Nephrite]

[12:54] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+77 will
[12:54] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+77 will --> [ 1d20=19 ]{96}

[Anastasia]

There's no resistance. It is dull, dark and empty.

You stand in another hall of cells, silent. There is not a scrap of noise here, nor a single, visible prisoner.

[Nephrite]

Moore looks around and will proceed forward, the only way he can go.

Take 10 for 93 on Perception if necessary.

[Anastasia]

Nothing. Every cell is empty to your gaze, at least without going in to check further. There is not the barest hint of noise.

[Nephrite]

Moore will stop at one random cell to go in to investigate further!

Is this a representation of the silence and loneliness they feel, isolated from everything else in Creation?

[Anastasia]

The cell has a hezrou in it - and despite the stench, it is fast asleep.

[Nephrite]

Any magic on it? Spellcraft for 113 and K:A for 118.

Is it making any noise at all?

[Anastasia]

It's your sleep spell, magnified and amplified many times over. So powerful it put a hezrou to sleep like nothing, and you can tell it will never awaken.
