EPONA

[soulping]

[ You find yourself sequestered in a cave deep within Waldemar's mountain. A table and a set of chairs have been carved from the surrounding rock. Torches are set into the walls to provide light, while a faint breeze blows through cracks in the walls and ceiling to provide ventilation. There are no doors or windows to speak of.

In the center of the room are your (randomly assigned) gifts: A BASKET OF FOODSTUFFS and AN ELEGANT SWORD WITH A BEJEWELED SHEATH.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring a crowded church service. You are part of THE PRIESTS.

Resting on the table are the following: a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a capped jar of ink. Written on the parchment is a list and three words in bold lettering:

PROTECT
TARGET
DEFEND

Why don't we give it to someone else so everyone can get a chance to get a gift?

[acemedium]

Like who?

[wingtamer]

The shepherds, maybe? They're probably just as poor as peasants are.

[acemedium]

As long as they don't get sheepish.

[wingtamer]

They'll probably be fine?

[acemedium]

It'll turn out pretty badly if they have a cow.

[wingtamer]

But you could make burgers out of cows. . .

[acemedium]

You bring up a very good point.

[wingtamer]

Right?
