TAKSHAKA

[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 FINE CLOAK WITH A FUR TRIM and A CRATE OF VERY GOOD MEAD.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring a rustic village in the countryside. You are part of THE PEASANTS.

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

This one does not wish to cause more harm than good, although sometimes a hard lesson cannot be avoided.

It is a new experience, and worthwhile.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. [ folding her arms on the table and resting her cheek on them ]

Did this sort of thing happen a lot where you're from? Different groups fighting over things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[allscalesfinal]

Conflict between groups over resources, over ideas and ideals, is inevitable.

This one remembers the fracturing of an entire kingdom.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

That's... really sad. Were the resources running out, or did people want to hoard it for themselves?

Re: DISCUSSION

[allscalesfinal]

The latter lead to the former.

'Twas my fault. The country followed the example set for them by their foolish king.
