(215) As you nod your head, another voice from behind intones, "Perhaps you will feel better with some fresh air." Before you can react, your hood is pulled back. There are gasps of surprise from the congregation as your identity is revealed. The game is up; you are quickly subdued and led to a cell from which there is no escape. |

(5) As you walk around the wall, you see that you are in a very spacious chamber. You seem to be standing on a platform, with a dais in the center. Steps lead off the platform to the ground, and you can see two sets of pews running almost fifty feet back. They are full of figures in black robes, who slowly raise their heads as you enter. But what has your attention most of all is the figure of a young woman tied to the dais. She is wearing a simple white robe. Her eyes are open but her breathing is shallow. It dawns on you that you are in the place of the high priest, and unless you have an incredible stroke of luck or divine intervention, you will soon be discovered. The congregation stares up at you expectantly, and the gravity of the situation hits you (add 1 fear point). You force yourself to think. Looking down at the dais, you see that beside the body of the young woman there is a black chalice, a dagger, a set of candles, and a rolled up parchment. Will you light the candles (184) unroll the parchment (325) pour the black liquid of the vial into the chalice, if you kept the vial (137) raise the dagger (197) or wait for something to happen (36)? |
I am still for lighting the candles, but the reasoning for pouring the liquid is a good one, so let's do that.
Since we seem to be going in a certain direction I will go along with it; pour the liquid.
Your vote Hunter may not effect this choice this time but your opinion if stated could effect the vote if we end up back here so always feel free to place your thoughts.

(137) You hold the vial over the chalice and pour out the liquid. It fills up about a quarter of the chalice. You put the vial down and stare out into the congregation, trying to gauge their reaction, but they remain motionless. Will you now light the candles (198) raise the dagger (197) drink the liquid you have just poured into the chalice (16) or unroll the parchment (325)? |
