AMALTHEA

[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.

[says the dude with too many scars:]

That's it? I almost thought it'd be somethin' a lot tougher.

[JUST CHINHANDS, MAN]

[W/E I HAVE A TATTOO ON MY BACK I CAN HANDLE SHARP NEEDLES]

All of us?

Only one.

[sneers at her and turns back to Amalthea]

Who wants this one?

[raises his hand]

I can take it. It'll scar, but it's not like I don't have plenty of those already.

[ this face though. :( ]

Whatever else happens after this, one of us will take it.

[THIS FACE]

...

[yeah this face... yay human blood dice rolls wheee]

That's the idea.

[rolling up one of his sleeves to reveal a shoulder]

That's a good plan. In the meantime, which one of you is the best artist in here?

You want one of us to do it?

I don't want her puttin' her hands on me.

True...

I don't remember, but if it's a word I can do that.

I was thinkin' a pattern. A key. Simple, yeah?

[picking up the quill and handing it to him]

Don't say it so casually...

Why not? Would you prefer I freak out over it?

No, but-

[ :( ]

It'll be all right. I get the feelin' I've faced worse.
