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

Choose a role and a course of action.]

[gandere]

I challenge you to a duel.

[acemedium]

Pass.

[gandere]

You know you'd lose because I'm the greatest monk to ever bless this temple!

[ POSING INTENSIFIES. ]

[acemedium]

Except there aren't any monks, since we're all priests....

[gandere]

A monk and a priest is almost alike, just one fights while the other thumbs a book!

[acemedium]

That's not how the game works! Monkey business doesn't have anything to do with it!

[gandere]

Did you................................

Did you just really call me a MONKEY?

[acemedium]

You started up with the monk stuff! That sounds like monkey business to me! [TOTALLY THE SAME THING RIGHT...]

[gandere]

Monkeys don't know how to fight!

They only know how to throw poop and scratch their butts, both of which are things I'd never do in a thousand years.

[acemedium]

That's why you should stick to being part of the elite priest brotherhood!

[1 + 1 = fish]

[gandere]

That's it.

The monks are taking over this temple. Put your fists up or surrender now, it doesn't matter. Epona will step beyond their monkhood to become the hooded assassins.

Yes, this is the New Order of Epona.

[acemedium]

[Schooler weren't you complaining about doing things that were "unpriestly".....]





Eh?

[gandere]

I warned you, but now that you're not allowing monks and priests to co-exist, there can only be one.

[acemedium]

Isn't being an assassin the opposite of a priest...?

[gandere]

But not the opposite of a monk!

[acemedium]

I don't think assassins and monkey business really go together, either...

[gandere]

Quit calling me a monkey.

[acemedium]

I'm not, since you're a priest and all.

[wingtamer]

Eh?

[gandere]

It's the New Order of Epona.

[wingtamer]

. . .


Consisting of. . . . you and what army?

[gandere]

You two if you'll join me.

If you refuse, I'll have to beat you up.
