Barghest

[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 . . . ]

((Comment here, ICly, with what your team is choosing to do! Make sure to indicate which ornament, if any, they're breaking, and whether or not they'd like Nyssa's help.))

[ We're breaking the black sword, and doing it without help ]

[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.

[ I wish we had not chosen that. ]

[chinhands]

A-are you serious?! An arm or a leg, w-we can't just...

[ but then Fenris to the rescue ]

[ He sucks in a sharp breath, his eyes widening. Then he notices the look on Sirius' face, and swallows. ]

I... I will handle this.

[ I was about to have a tantrum at the Echo so ]

—W-what? You're really going to—

If it's that or he drowns... No, I couldn't forgive myself.

[ He looks shaky and not a little nervous, but he picks up the sword. Then he turns to address Nyssa. ]

A hand or a foot, you said?

[POUNDING AT THE GLASS] What part of that is right!?

W-what's--

[WHAT THE HELL]

[ WELCOME TO THE PARTY, I'm trying to keep our elf from bleeding out everywhere ]

What did you do?!

I— I didn't— she said we had to do tasks or she'd drown him, a-and the task was— to cut something off, I wanted to say no but she said the consequences would be worse s-so he—

--Can we kill her?

[ Hello. Have an elf teammate curled up the ground, bleeding from a stump that used to be a left foot. ]

[I DON'T KNOW FIRST AID. AT ALL.]

Where's like, the other one, what happened?

[ Sirius is helping! Or at least, he seems to have raised Eltanin's foot and has elevated it a bit. ]

[ When he speaks, it's in a quiet, pain-filled hiss. ]

Choices... that, or he drowns. Chopped it off...

C-can we like seriously go back to the bit where I just thought this was a whorehouse?

[hi i'm screaming and cursing at the echo and also the bleeding elf while stuck in this glass column with water]

—you're here—!

Edited 2013-10-02 00:40 (UTC)

[...Is this my fault for being late???]

[NO]

Can you—can you help him? [desperately,] He cut his foot off—

[I could:

> Kill him.
> Mercy kill.
> Put down the dog.]

Um, no, I don't know how, you can have my cloak?

[Which is thick and more importantly blood absorbing.]
