It seemed that everyone decided to make the same choice and have the same fate. The creature watched in secret as some went to the silver door without hesitation, while others analyzed the riddle and doors further before also deciding that silver was the proper choice for them. When the room was empty, there was nothing but silence for a moment. Suddenly... Everyone safely appeared in the next room. "Well done, well done... of course we all know the first part of games are the easiest. You know, to encourage you and give you confidence. None of you used the key however." There was a hissing laugh from the shadows. The voice no longer came from Protea who was still unconscious. "I think I went too easy on you all before. So now... we're going to play a new game." The room still had the barrier along the walls and everyone's magic was still repressed (not gone, just restricted) so that they could not use their magic to escape. This time there were no doors however, or windows. It could cause some to feel a bit claustrophobic with so many people in a room with no way out. The silver door behind them had vanished, so turning back was also not an option. "Ladies and gentleman, I present you with some more choices. This time, you get to know the outcome however... your fate is in your own hands now." As he said that, a long table appeared with several chalices filled with liquid. They were in three separate groups, and were bronze, silver, and gold. "No trick this time my lovelies... this will be just what I tell you it is." Another chuckle. "Here are the rules of this game. The first four cups of bronze, hold a liquid that will allow those who drink it to escape from here safely. I assure you its no lie. I may have given you a riddle before, but my words were still true. The second group of four cups, gold, hold a liquid poison that must be drank or the potion that allows the others to escape will not work. The rest of the cups in the middle, in silver, are potions that will allow you to carry on to the next and final game safely. I leave it up to all of you to decide who shall drink which cup... good luck." With that the room went silent again. Game Rules Simple rule: Everyone must drink one cup. If someone chooses not to drink... everyone will be trapped in this room with no escape. Extra Details: -If someone chooses to force someone to drink a cup and they resist, you will both need to come to me and roll the dice in the event room. Roll d10, whoever rolls higher succeeds. Tie is reroll. This also applies to anyone stealing a cup from another person. -If someone empties a cup without drinking it, it will magically just refill with the emptied contents vanishing. Only when the fluid in that cup is drank will it remain empty. -If one person tries to drink more than one cup, the liquid will vanish upon trying to drink any after the first. Thus, one person cannot drink more than one. -The person with safety will feel a magical ability to teleport out when they are ready. (Thus, you can drink it and still RP a while before leaving if you choose.) -I will reveal about the poison after they are consumed and we're moving onto the next game. -One or more people may 'guard' the cups until everyone has made their decision, if they choose to. If this is the case, those people will then have to hand out the cups after everyone has decided. -For this game, I'll allow the NPC's mentioned up to this point IF they are actual played characters (Zephyr for example) to count separately. Please don't include NPC's though that are not actual characters you play yourself. Thank you. 4 are potions of safety (no trick), 4 are potions of poison, and the rest are potions of transportation which will let people go to the next room (they will see a door appear for them after drinking it, that only they can see and walk through.) Note: Anyone who completes these games to the end without consequence (no poison for example) will earn the MVP badge. Anyone who leaves early (taking the safety potion) grants them safety but they wont be eligible for the badge. If the key is used, everyone gets safety, and only the person who figured out the key gets the MVP badge. |

Isaac Stepped forward looking at the cup's he quickly picked up a poison one and drank it "Needs some Sugar yes". He looked to Joshua "Sorry mate...we got pregnant people and a Queen to protect". He grimaced a bit "If this is how I go...then please make sure to not let Ethan Run the Grimm's". He turned to go lean against a wall waiting for the poison to take its route and effect.

(( Rita )) sighs and says to the group " I think we can all agree 3 of the safety are already taken, Sune, wulv, and Ellina all being pregnant puts them at to great of risk and makes them a liability going into the final round. Additionally I will willingly drink a poison as I'm naturally immune to most and resistant to others, worst case mom will just have to revive me agian. " Ellina starts to protest but stops realizing Rita's logic is sound. (( Rita )) speaks up again and says " By the way Game Master, do you mind tuning this spell a bit better, My daughter Sakura is dying because she has no access to Aether, the spell is blocking her from drawing it in. " (( Sakura )) " Yes that would be nice. " (( Rita )) " Lastly I would like to suggest Sakura take a silver, while she has no access to her Light or shadow magic she has her shape shifting " Sakura starts to object but is cut off my Rita " hers is Natural not magical so it should still work to some degree and my be of use in the next area. Does anyone have any objections to anything I have said so far? " she looking directly at the General, the look would be an ' we need to get along for everyone's sake' look.

Monet watched the others and thought this was going to be quite interesting. She walked up to the table and picked one of the transportation (silver) potions to go forward to the next 'game' this creature had in mind. Safety didn't interest her, and she was too vain to risk taking poison. She held the cup in her hands and waited to drink it until the others were ready, but intended to and would drink this one when time.
Rita mentioned saving the pregnant women and she literally laughed out loud at her mockingly. "What a bleeding heart you are. Ready to doom the others here on your own say just to save the delicate and weak here." Her eyes did go over to Wulv and Sune though and despite her words, she frowned a little at the thought they might die. Then she carefully watched Laelia and Zephyr, very worried Laelia might try to play hero, and ready to intervene should she try to drink the poison.

"I may be pregnant... but Sune holds my child and is more important. I need her safety assured first. I am a demon, a werehound, a vampire, and a shadow, most poisons mean no harm to me. The child I hold is still developing yes, but my blood can cipher it out if need be. I just want my sune safe." Wulv moved to sune placing their head on sune's and giving her a kiss. Before turning to the crowd.
"Besides we still have a key we could find, that is in our hands. Well the queen has been held this whole time, what if it is her? What if we feed her one of the glasses to be moved from here altogether, would the games end then? I will wait to make my decision till the others have decided. But I would willingly drink a dose of poison for the safety of most anyone here. Especially my Sune Chan."
Wulv moved to lean against the wall for the moment and sat lumping down tired, but not unable to continue. Just worried, worried for sune and what she might do in this situation.

Vici ran for a bronze cup at the mere mention of it and ran back to Protea trying to force the drink down the queen's throat. No one would stop her, nothing would get in her way. She always ensured Protea's safety and would always be there for her to please her. Her mistress gave her life and she would return the same favour always.
If anyone hated her so be it, Tyran needed a leader, a queen, and Vici needed her mistress even if she still didn't know which glass to claim for her own. Too many confusing choices. Go with Protea? Ensure her safety by drinking poison? Maybe she should drink a regular one and move on to the next room and meet with Protea afterward?
She would have to decide later, but for now she shoved the drink of safety down Protea's throat.

Cairogen sighs "Of course there would be a game forcing people to choose death. Twisted minds love playing that game. I keep trying to think about the key for everyones safety but the only thing popping into my mind is giving the queen a kiss to wake her as in the old fairy tale. Seems to simply a solution to me honestly. Nevertheless i think Ritas right about getting those pregnant to safety, but we also need someone to get word out about whats going on."
He looks to Trent, Laelia and Raelle "I would suggest Queen Raelle...but something tells me she would just leave us to whatever happens. General i suggest you decide one of yours to go to let everyone know whats going on, including her people so they dont try to start a war" He walks back over to the table and grabs one of the gold cups of poison "I'll drink a poison myself, like wulv i have a high tolerance to poison, though im sure it will still hurt to high hell." He looks around and to Isaac who already drank one "If anyone has vampiric abilities, you can feed from me to get resistance and drink a poison, all others are to proceed. Unless there are any other ideas?" He would wait for anyone to feed from him then drink his poison, joining Isaac against the wall.

Post by Raelle Ravencourt on Aug 5, 2017 10:35:41 GMT -8
"Fuck you," Raelle spat at Cairogen. "Clearly you do not know me at all. I was born in Tyran, born to a family who used to rule these lands. I've risked my life for the sake of others countless...forget it."
She marched over to the table, reaching for a safety cup with her right hand, but the left was quicker. The Queen of the Raven Islands snatched a poison cup and downed it before Blacktyde or anyone else could smack it out of her hand. The Islands had Cassiel to rule them and a trio of potential heirs. Raelle turned to the group as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"My soldiers left already with orders to put our Tyran holds on alert. Word about what is happening here has already been sent out, there is no need for others to sacrifice themselves for that. I cannot promise you that there won't be war over this, the Islands are not the only kingdom here with royals put in jeopardy. What I can promise you is that at least two more people can live a little longer. All I ask in exchange is that you stop delaying, start thinking for yourselves instead of acting like a flock of scared sheep, and finish this nonsense so those responsible can bloody well be brought to justice."
Her eyes met Laelia's first. The woman had a code of honor, she'd guard Protea because for whatever fool reason she'd made a promise. She couldn't protect Protea if she wasn't around to do it, nor could she command the Tyran Army. Her absence would leave a vacuum nobody else could fill. Zephyr did not have a father. Raelle's children did.
Her gaze slid over to Laelia's brother Trent. Here she let her anger show. There were few she trusted more than him to keep a level head and do what needed done. They'd spoke earlier. He knew what she wanted. He knew what was needed. And she wasn't afraid to silently ask him to take on that burden.
With a subtle nod, Raelle moved off to the side and hunkered down on the floor against the wall, waiting for whatever it was the poison would do to her now.

"No!" Blacktyde shouted, the Shark lunging for her Queen to try and knock the poisoned cup out from her hands. But it was too late. "My Queen, why?" She raged, following Raelle to the wall where she came to her knees beside Raelle.
"Your King will never forgive you if you die. Your children. The lives of these fools aren't worth your own." She insisted, dark eyes staring at her Queen with anguish. And they would never forgive Blacktyde, the Captain of Raelle's Queensguard, for not failing to protect her.
"You...make my job impossible."

"That was stupid." Laelia gazed around the room with disapproval at the people who seemed all too willing to throw their lives away without considering the other options. While people were rushing for goblets of poison, there was the matter of this 'key' to consider.
Noticing Monet watching her warily, she scoffed. "Don't look at me that way. There are enough idiots rushing to kill themselves, I really don't have to. Before anymore hasty decisions are made, lets at least consider the possibility of this key. If we aren't able to figure it out, then by all means, go ahead and kill yourselves."
She was holding Protea over her shoulder, a somewhat difficult position for Thing to reach if she was attempting to shove a goblet of liquid down the Queen's throat. Laelia attempted to back away swiftly, denying the attempt.
"The voice has said twice now that the key to safety is in our hands. That in and of itself may mean just what he said. Lets examine that. Perhaps my suggestion is too literal. Perhaps it will not work. But there is no risk in making the attempt before you throw your lives away. And it's no more ridiculous a notion than kissing the Queen like some faerytale. It is something to do with our actual hands."
"Joining hands, touching something..." Her lips pursed with frustration like the answer was there, but just out of reach.

Vici fights against Laelia to get a potion of protection (bronze) down Protea's throat. Protea cannot resist as she's unconscious, and Laelia despite the attempt to stop it cannot keep Vici from getting to Protea and just barely getting it in her mouth and forcing her to swallow with a squeeze of her nose.
One potion of safety down, 3 left. (Roll of Vici vs Laelia, Vici wins.)

3 Gold/Poison Left, held by Cairo, Isaac, and Rita if people don't fight them on it.
3 Bronze/Safety Left, one forced down the Queen's throat by Vici. The other three being suggested for Wulv, Sune and Ellina for their pregnancies. Will anyone contest it?
Once those are gone, everyone else will be stuck with the silver.

Orisimark would look around and sigh "well I guess ill go ahead and help. but I think the pregnant should leave and protea should come with us. I think we need to find the key before everyone takes a drink after all it is the only way out." he said as he would look to cairogen "you think a kiss will wake her up but who will kiss her?" he said as he would pick up a silver cup "watch we are gonna walk straight into a battle." he said chuckling
he would look to laelia and her outsretched hands "I feel like we cant give up and your idea is solid" he said as he would walk over and grab her hand "you people on the walls lets join hands its something we can try." he said. If nothing happened he would drink his silver goblet

Harmony saw the glasses and nodded. She wouldn't take the poison....Nor escape. She nodded taking the Silver cup for herself and grabbed a bronze for Rita but blinked as she saw she took the poison "Rita! No! You must be there for Tempest..." it was too late...she already drank it...She let out a sigh. "noo..." she shook her head and placed down the bronze one as she held the silver in her hands.
"I must continue this....for him...for her...I must see why this person is doing this..." She heard Laelia speak of the riddle. "Something in our hands....Well, we were at a mascarade could be our masks....or maybe our hands its self.....rings?" she thought looking to her. She looked and saw Lily, The fairy Queen. She didn't know her very much..."Here....take the Bronze...Leave in safety....." she smiled softly to her.
She looked to Orisimark and too drank her silver cup. "Yes....sounds...like a good idea..."

Blinked taking the Bronze from Harmony as she looked down to the contents. Her wings fluttered. She felt like she didn't belong. She didn't know anyone here. "M...Maybe you're right..." she looked down to the bronze..."I just want to go home..."

Sune breathed with relief as they made it safely through the door, this room seeming to ease up enough to allow for her to use her leg once more. “thank goodness. I don’t think I would be able to keep going on limping like that” she said, listening to the voice talk and then watching as the table appeared and the goblets appeared next. The rules were laid out just like last time except that they were told the outcomes.
She watched Isaac try to drink his cup of poison, Then turned to Rita who seemed to be making choices for everyone based on her own ideas of what should happen. On hearing Sakura is dying she speaks up.
“if she is dying by being here then she is clearly at more risk than my child. I’m doing fine and while I don’t know what the next round holds or what the poison might truly do I would think she should take one of the potions to get out.” she stated flatly, objecting to Sakura continuing any further.
“For all we know the next room will kill her for good and we can’t risk that happening in the next room, so it’s best for her to get out now. Though I see nothing wrong with you taking a poison cup Rita, since you are immune” she nodded.
Sune had a sour look on her face when Wulv came up to them saying how she should go and let her mate poison herself. It was interesting how many here were willing to risk taking the stuff. She would kiss Wulv back though and let the woman finish what they had to say. She could see her mates worry and softened. She didn’t like this situation and having others telling her what to chose was too much like bing controlled again.
She watched Vici trying to force one of the bronze cups contents down the queens throat. Moving to take the crown off the queens head before she would disappear if she did. “Not meaning any threat I just want to see if I’m right about the crown” she would say if anyone got all antsy about it.
Then Cairogen was taking a poison cup and she sighed. I’m sure Sakura or Ellina could deliver the message just as well as one of the Generals men. Also I’m sure they already know the queen is trapped by now and just haven’t managed to get in yet. But thank you Cair for taking a cup of poison.
The last cup of poison was supposedly drank by Raelle, the woman words bringing comfort as she confirmed what Sune thought. She didn’t know the woman enough to hate her or like her, and wasn’t even upset she had cut her off earlier in the nigh. Her only thoughts were to figure this all out and get out again alive. She gasped a bit, stumbling back into Wulv as Blacktyed screamed and tried to stop the queen without success.
One cup down..she thought and turned to Wulv. “I love you.. please be ok” she sighed, kissing her mate and taking a silver cup, intending to continue forward so that those that must escape could.She would only hesitate as Laelia spoke. “yes.. but what could the key be.. and well Raelle already drank her cup.” she frowned.

(( Rita )) sighs as Harmony snatches the cup away " you know I can't revive you via my realm agian. " (( Sakura )) " I'm dying but I'm still a better choice than the pregnant one's and I'm still combat ready if there is a fight beyond." She give her mom(Rita)a ' I hope you know what your doing ' look and downs the silver cup. " Now let's try the join hands ".

Sune glared at Sakura "that's dumb. Going into a fight when your dying is just as bad as going in pregnant." She retorted, trying to take the cup from Sakura even though she already had her own silver cup.
Her reasoning being that if she held to cups it might force people to stop and actually think things out before more hen poisoning themselves for no reason.
"No one else drink anything!" She shouted to get everyone's attention, gesturing to those about her to stop others from drinking if they had already started.
"we need to work this out together, it's pointless killing ourselves if we save no one" she sighed.

Post by Ronnie Breteuil on Aug 5, 2017 14:49:11 GMT -8
Upon arriving in the room and seeing how empty it was, he wondered if everyone made the right decision. They seemed more trapped than spared, but who knew the fate of those who may had selected other doors. It wouldn't be long before that arrogant magical creature began to speak and congratulate everyone on making it this far.
The next challenge was far more simple, but easy it was not as four people would have to possibly make the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. Ronnie could feel his connection with Shrick becoming clearer, but not to the point that he could draw power from him. It must have had something to do with that anti teleportation field, to prevent magic to be used to leave or enter. This explains what that abomination was suffering for lack of aether, maybe the aether she needed didn't exist in the room, meaning she was starving, because she couldn't summon it to her or however her power works. Ronnie wasn't familiar enough in the subject to confirm, nor did he really care.
Ronnie carefully listened to the words, which began to make him think.(Hmm, still mentioning about not using the key.). This confirms that the key was present in the room at the beginning of the challenge and would not be something that would be revealed later. Ronnie wondered if it was possible to even use the key anymore, what if this key was in the last room hidden somewhere. Most people was to busy staring at their hands while making a beeline for the silver door than searching the room for some key. The fact that the entity laughed could of easily been a sign that the chance to use the key is over, but then again this game master seemed like the type that would gloat that the key was no longer accessible because they failed to use it when it was possible.
It wouldn't be long before the voice vanished and left the people in the room to make a tough choice. Shrick would speak to Ronnie asking him if he was going to use the cup of safety to leave. Considering Ronnie didn't have any attachments with anyone in the room, getting to safety did seem to be the best choice. Ronnie would respond to Shrick that he would be remaining to see things through to the end. Ronnie knew he wouldn't be leaving and he knew he wouldn't be taking poison, so his choice was easy. Ronnie without hesitation headed to grab a silver cup while Sune was occupied with stopping Sakura to drink her cup. He would quickly drink it up. Considering there was no indication how many actual silver cups was on table it would be hard for Sune to try and stop everyone even if she wanted everyone to stop and think. If successful Ronnie would mention, “Too late.”
Ronnie was a bit nervous as just because the voice said nothing bad would happen didn't mean anything bad would happen, who would trust some ominous voice anyway. Then again he already drank it so it was too late to be worrying. Ronnie blinks as he notice a door forming in the corner. Ronnie whispers, “Where did the door come from?” He nodded that these potions must be magical and the door probably would lead to the final stage.
Ronnie looked in the direction of Protea and then at Wulv. Ronnie would notice it didn't take long four people to risk the ultimate sacrifice. The surprising person was Raelle, why would she risk herself for people she didn't seem to like. In the end, Ronnie didn't care too much as it didn't immediately concern him, nor was the fates of the pregnant, but what did interest him was Wulv, the creature seemed to be tired and weak, which made targeting him a whole lot easier, and with everyone fighting who should drink the poison and not made an excellent distraction.
Ultimately Ronnie had to currently abandon the chance as the room currently is littered with allies, some whom decided to ingest the poison hoping the poison would be aligned with poisons that they supposedly had resistance to. Ronnie wondered their fate as there was no indication what happened to them after they drank the poison, do they die immediately; is it a slow and painful; perhaps the poison isn't health detrimental but magic detrimental considering some are magic dependent; would they be left in this room alone to suffer after everyone else made their decision.
Ronnie knew if he waited it out that enough of people may make their decision to leave he could possibly target a weakened Wulv. Ronnie eyes saw the mysterious creature that was obsessing over Protea running to her with the safety potion with Laelia resisting. Ronnie was surprised she wouldn't be on board with getting the queen to safety. Perhaps she didn't trust the liquid or maybe she wanted to figure out how to escape and felt everyone was needed to make it happen. There was also seemingly the idea that Protea was the key. Ronnie wasn't feeling as noble as the others to care about the safety of the all, especially considering some of the all he didn't trust or wanted dead.
Ronnie however needed excuse to stick around, because as soon as people begin to drink the silver cup they probable would notice a door and wonder why he hasn't took the door yet. Ronnie would first place his shining butcher knife on the table, knowing that if he approached the queen with that in his hand it would send the wrong message about his intentions. Ronnie would approach Protea and her subjects and would speak in response to her and the others suggestions, “all interesting ideas but to far fetch, allow me to observe the queen a bit, I have an idea of what this key may be and I am sure most people have deduced that the queen is related as she was the first person this mysterious entity took out. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.
Ronnie could feel traces of his presence of light becoming slightly accessible, it was innate power, but did require him to use magic to use it, it seemed that the barrier didn't restrain abilities as intensity as before and feels by the end game result the only restriction would probable be destruction of the magical walls and teleportation. This meant he could fight at least slightly more freely, he still didn't have his preferred weapons, but he could adapt if needed.
Ronnie extended his hand out slowly towards Laelia as if requesting her to surrender the queen for his interrogation. Ronnie was doubtful she would trust him, but still would try. Ronnie also kept looking to the side where the door was, even though it probable just looked like he was constantly motioning towards the blank wall. His mask was still on, so he would still be hard to read. Ronnie was suspicious if he didn't enter the door fast enough that maybe the door would just suck him in to begin his final challenge, he felt this was especially possible if he was close to figuring out the key and the entity wanted to get him out the equation, either option was fine.

Monet had moved up to take whomever's hand was next in the line with Laelia's idea, not wishing to deny her the chance to see if it was right... though touching someone else's hand made her scowl and grimace a bit at it. Too dangerous, too close, to intimate. Still, Monet rarely denied Laelia anything and complied. She also listened to others give their ideas and speak, eyeing the Queen after it seemed one of the woman's servants jammed one of the potions down her throat. Monet actually didn't see which one but assumed it was safety. Sune took the crown off the Queen's head, Monet wondering for a moment if she planned to steal it but seeing shortly after Sune was thinking it had something to do with the key. Others were also starting to wondering if the key had something to do with the Queen, for various reasons. Yet so far it didn't seem like anything anyone had observed or done had worked yet. Monet kept to herself and didn't offer anyhing helpful to the others. She only cared about those in the room she had a connection to. Off in the corner though she did keep getting this very weird feeling about Alaeric. It wasn't strong, maybe because everyone's magic was restrained, and only came and went in small tingles but... something about him was bothering her. Who was he? She continued to hold her undrank silver cup.

Sune snapped another look to Sakura "I am thinking of the future generations" she said, tearfully looking to Wulv "Don't you see... someone only has to die if another wants to leave. If no one drinks the potions to escape than no one needs to drink the poison. " she said and would go over to embrace wulv, handing them a silver cup. The crown she had taken off of Protea already handed back over to Laelia by now.
"There are only four cups to let people escape and four cups to let people sacrifice themselves. If I continue on then their is not reason for my love to kill themselves. Or risk hurting the babe inside them." She said, sniffling now as she tried not to full on cry. We do not have to flee or die here in this place. there is more then enough cups for us all to continue on. " She went on
"Raelle poisoned herself and perhaps for no reason as it did not say we must drink it. It only said that it must be drank if others wanted to leave" she frowned and would take peoples hands in hers, trying out Laelia Idea next.

Cairogen moves and puts his cup in his belt to hold it "I'll give it a shot, not trying a way to free everyone would just be self destructive anyway." He puts his mask back on then moved over to take monets hand in the chain giving her a smirk "We meet again, though i dont think we can throw elemental attacks at each other this time. Shame i hadnt practiced my mana view more, it would have been useful in this situation, but i need magic to activate it in my current state." He looks over to Laelia "Also im not actively trying to throw my life away, just trying to keep others from making this choice. There is a chance my immunities have no effect on this poison but theres a better chance they will, and if it keeps someone from forcing it down your or anyone elses gullet, i'll take the risk"

Post by Jacob Tanner on Aug 5, 2017 18:10:20 GMT -8
The evening had been a blur. Of emotion. Of wills. Now it was one of fortitude. It all had streamed in front of him so fast. One moment he was hiding a cookie in his pocket and was presumably about to have his first ballroom dance with the kind lady that had smiled at him when he had arrive. The next moment saw his hand instinctively land on the hilt of his sword as a disagreement between queen and lords became highly vocal. Then the queen started glowing, doors appeared, orders were shouted, people panicked, and the game was on.
JACOB!! His mind slapped him back to the now. What was it he heard the general say? It was fuzzy and his heart beat in his throat. This level of intrigue was not something they had prepared him for. He had gone from aimless patrolling to helping others move the new queen through the silver puddle of a door in a span of time that boggled his mind. Come to think of it, that was what the general had said to do, right? Well, she was with him here now in this new inescapable room and she wasnt yelling at him. With any luck, he had followed the orders by accident. And he would take that any day of conscious failure.
In the fleeting seconds before those gathered began speaking again, Jacob's military training took over a second time. Assessment time. What did he know? Well, it looked like everybody had made it and no worse for the wear. But... why were they still here? No fewer than a dozen looked like they might be able to simply will themselves away... And yet they hadnt. Either they had some interest in being trapped here or... or... or they were powerless to help themselves! Suddenly, Jacob didnt feel so worthless anymore. His back straightened after he gently set the queen down. His chest puffed out a bit and his shoulders squared. Corporal Tanner now set his eyes on the new game.
Twelve cups. Three types of ore. Three fates to choose from. One of which... was poison.
He let out a small sigh, his head dipping ever so slightly to the right as he shut his eyes. The people here, they were not grunts. They were not trained for this type of sacrifice. Some were willing to make this leap for others, but this was not what they had been bred for. To march into the black with no hope of return so that others may live. No. This was what the Tyran Army had been designed for. This was Jacob's calling. And as much as it scared the living hell out of him, he would not shy from it.
He marched through the deep seated dread of it all to Cairogen, and used his armored hand to cover the rim of the chalice. "This is a soldier's war, my friend. Even as the god-kings of Tyran roam freely, it always has been. Now I have a rendezvous with destiny, and I do not intend to be late." With that he began pulling the cup from the other's belt, with ease and care. Should he resist, Jacob would pull harder.
If this was how it ended, this was fitting. A soldier's purpose fulfilled, once more anew.

Cairogen looked to Jacob squarely as he maintained hold on his cup. His magic may have been chained but he was still a dragon, with a dragons strength "I am sorry to dissapoint, but i will keep my cup thank you. Besides, as i stated i have a chance of surviving the poison whereas you do not. The sentiment is appreciated but i will not allow anyone with no chance too take this cup"
