[Up they go. With a combination of adrenaline, good rolls, and simple affection for each other and the baby they've unanimously adopted, the boys use the last of their strength to reach the ice shelf. They all grab onto the edge of it, mostly with Hawke's assistance, and—
The ice breaks and crumbles in their hands. Not so sturdy after all.
Their energies spent, lungs burning from the lack of oxygen, they immediately start to sink back down with the baby and all. Sorry it had to be this way.
Maybe they drown. Maybe there's a good samaritan just around the corner, lured to the scene by the blazing fire that has overtaken the fortress. Or maybe they get a second wind, enough for one last attempt to save themselves and the child they were sent to kill. The truth of the matter, though, is that Richie, Taair, Hawke and Adolphe will simply never find out — because the pull of unconsciousness is too much for them to resist.
It all goes dark. And they return from whence they came.
... And that's a wrap! You're free from 17th century Japan and your many, many crimes, my sweet sellswords. Here are some fun things for your return:
» You don't get to keep your weapons. Obviously. » You can take whatever injuries you have and keep them, as long as they aren't fatal. Nooooo bleeding out! » You are still a little bit high off shrooms. This will wear off by the end of your return thread, at least.
Rewards:
» Vial of Blood(?): Heal someone by swiping this blood(?) across your lips before kissing them on the mouth. If the item is used between a minor and an adult, the kiss can be on the forehead. (Tastes like blood.) » Dried Fish: So long and thanks for all the MILFs. Consume this fish to force someone to answer one question truthfully. » Toy Grenade: Pull the cord, and the next curse someone tries to use on you will instead be redirected to somebody random. » Spider Leg: Index finger sized! Think of someone or something you are searching for, and the leg will point you in the right direction.
There is only one copy of each of these items. Distribute them among yourselves however you like.
Effects:
» Sometimes, you still think you're ye olde mercenaries and you forget all about your canon lines. » Auditory hallucinations of the most hurtful things people have said to you. » While in conversation with someone, you may be overcome with the urge to pull them into your arms. Protectively, as if trying to shield them from a cold, cruel world... (Go out there and hug some people.) » These effects will come and go, so feel free to play with them as much or as little as you want.
