[ saber will wait to see if anything happens, and then wander over to the altar while holding the remaining candle, still lit. they actually did not witness bas getting yeeted across the room so they are going to try to walk closer to the thing ]
[bas blows out all the lanterns on that side. nothing happens. the room is slightly darker.
saber walks directly into the forcefield and is yeeted backwards at mach fuck. however, basilio may notice that there's a little bit of a shimmer in the air, as though the forcefield is a little more visible now in the dimmer light.]
[ saber will let the rabies furry do that, and then make their way back to the altar. they do not try to cross this time but will be here ready in case blowing the other candles out does anything and they need to react quickly.
[bas accidentally wanders near the forcefield and gets yeeted again, but he only hits the edge of it so it's not as bad this time.
but i won't leave you in suspense. you blow out all the candles, and the room is pitch dark. but the forcefield is now visible a pattern of glowing light on the floor. there are two rings, and each ring has a gap in it, so if you are very careful you can slip through both gaps and reach the altar.
at the altar, there is a knife set out, and a bowl.]
[ selects ungroup from the menu to make this easier.
okay!! yippee!! bas will navigate his way around carefully. after a few experiences with the purple forcefield light, he'll be very cautious not to brush against it and get himself thrown away again. he can already feel the bruises forming under his very bitten skin at this point and he'd rather not subject himself to more.
when he slips through the final gap and reaches the altar, he stares at it for a good long moment, like he's contemplating something. and then he'll pick up the knife, spinning it around to point the blade at himself, then saber, then the altar. ]
Reckon one of us is gonna have to spill some blood in that thing.
[ copies becks' homework, which is my right because she is first in the tag order
saber follows behind, slipping through the gap which is probably much easier for them to do than bas. genuinely the size difference here is insanely funny. but they watch him pick up the knife first. ]
he did put himself up for this one so he'll pull a face and then wander over to the altar. he rolls up his sleeve and, after a moment of hesitation, makes a quick slice on his arm and lets the blood flow down into the bowl. ]
[it seems your offering was accepted. a glowing orb appears, ready to be taken. you can take a moment to regroup and discuss, or you can choose a door to unlock immediately.
well, time to waddle back with their weird orb and rabies. when they get to the doors, they look at the two options, considering... before nodding and putting it to the treasure one. ]
as a reminder, this is a door that has the inscription Her Most Vaunted Treasure on the inscription outside. the orb fits perfectly in the door, and the stone door rolls open.
inside there's another inscription on the floor. it reads The Soft Step Trial.
in front of you are two doors. you can tell the doors lead into what looks like a stone maze. but it doesn't look like a very complicated maze. the part that may be complicated is that part of the maze is shrouded in dark, but part of the maze is lit up, and there seem to be shadowy creatures moving around in the lit up parts of the maze.
you can also see another altar on a pedestal far to the back of the maze.
