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 . . . ]

[ NO I'M FREAKING OUT I'M FREAKING OUT!!! ]

E-even if we did a hard task right now...

. . . don't do anything, Sirius.

N-no, I... I can't just... w-we can't just...

. . . Even if you do a hard task, it'll still overflow. And someone else will probably break their bubble on us, since the water level's already so high.

Don't hurt yourself for nothing.

N-no— no, I can't just— m-maybe I can do more than one, maybe I can make it work, t-there has to still be a way, i-it can't just be—

Sirius!

I can't just let you die without doing anything! I can't!

I can't watch you get hurt in vain!!

Please—if I'm going to die—at the very least I don't want you to get hurt!

[ I heard that ]

--we're not giving up on you when they've already done so much.

It's not trying to put effort in to save someone, it's meaninglessly hurting yourselves!

Then why did they bother in the first place?!

[b-breathe. . . . . breathe. . . . yes let's focus on breathing. . . . .]

[It takes him a little longer to work out the maths, but the kid gets there too.

Angry sniffle.]

He's gonna die...!

[ oh my god child ]

--We're going to do all we can, okay?

Don't lie!

I'm not lying! We're going to do our best!

And if that's not enough, then-- then we failed, but we didn't sit back and let it happen!

She should die, she should just die- die -- kill her!

[ An angry, hissy elf speaks from the ground. ]

It would be my pleasure to.

[ At this point, he is shakily dragging himself over to the column and pounding on it with a fist. ]

[ He speaks in a low, intense hiss. ]

We are not giving up on you this easily!

No matter what you do, it'll fill up to the top! If you choose to do something this round it'll be all for nothing, you'll be hurt worse and I'll still be dead!

I'm not accepting that so readily!

Y-you—you're just going to hurt more—!

Being in pain is better than letting you die.

It's going to happen anyway!!
