[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 . . . ]

[The ornament shatters, releasing a fine mist. When it clears, you find a large, red-feathered quill with a sharp metal tip resting on the pedestal.

Nyssa speaks up:] Your task is to cut a large word or pattern into your skin. At least five inches across, please! If you require my assistance for a task as simple as this one, the design will be one of my choosing.

[ O ]

That is surprisingly unobjectionable. I shall take care of it quickly.

[ hikes up her left sleeve and picks up the quill, measures out a slight excess of five inches on her forearm with her thumb and middle finger, and then scratches out something that looks almost like Morse code (long line short line long line short line, arranged like -._.) until she etches more lines on top of it (sideways ovals on top of the first two, then vertical lines, then \\\ over the last) ]
