[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

[ going to break the black sword! trying to look as awesome as possible while he breaks it, yeah ]

[The ornament shatters, releasing a fine mist. When it clears, you find a very nice, very sharp sword resting on the pedestal. And also a blowtorch.

Nyssa speaks up:] Your task is to remove an appendage. Arms, legs, hands, or feet, please. Should you require my assistance, you need only ask.

DON'T EVEN!

[ slow

fucking

blink ]

[ eyes widening in shock at the words, and he just stays sort of still, dumbfounded, not really processing this yet ]

... What?

Dudes, do not go hacking anything off!

[ just sort of looking at the glass now ]

Ah ... ah...

[ and he's not really able to articulate anything right now, very clearly terrified ]

I'm a turtle, it'll be fine.

R ... really?

[ it's obvious he's feeling guilty about it, but ... ]

So we -- could just, not do it ... and it'll be fine?

I don't want to see you guys hurt yourselves.

[ covering his face with both hands ]

But she could boil you, so if we don't we'd be bad teammates.

She might not?

[ llllooking between the two of them. ]

Guess we can afford to throw one round. Even our princess ain't that short.

So let's just skip, bro.

Hey, you see me arguing?

[ mildly ]

This is messed up.

[ silent for a bit, looking down ]

[ ugh. ]

Are there any which you would prefer not to subject to the excess water?

Excuse me! Would you say that you have especially sensitive ears?

I don't uh have ears?

Sensitive hearing, then. It is an important consideration, because you are trapped in a very solid tube and if I fail to break the glass it will make a potentially damaging noise if you do.

I'll be okay, go for it.

Out of concern I must request you cover your ears regardless.

[ MARCHES UP AND JUST STRAIGHT UP PUNCHES THE GLASS

PRETTY HARD.

SHE WAS PROBABLY RIGHT TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THE NOISE. ]

[ s-shakes her hand owww ]

If that is the case then it would be in our best interests to break the clear ornament. All of you please mention your attachments in other groups so we will not endanger them.

Amalthea. Leave them alone.
