GM - Turquoise

[dramatispersonae]

The room is like any other room, really—a cabin with a door, and windows, and beds. But the fireplace never gets warm, and the beds are hard, and the air is cold.

(Is it familiar, this place? It's hard to tell . . .)

On the table there is food—water, and dry bread, and there is a pot of stew that always stays warm, and full, and smells delicious.

There are also five cards, waiting for your decision.

DARK CARDS

[dramatispersonae]

Several black cards appear face-up on the table in the center of the room, a shadowy cold emanating off of them. There is writing around the edges—perhaps giving you an idea of what to expect?

Hallucinations (5 points)
The hero began to realize that the things that weren't there were perhaps more frightening than everything that was. [gamerunner error]
Millstone around the neck (2 points)
Oh, what a heavy weight this hero has to bear...
Slowly burning up (6 points)
A little warm at first . . . then hotter and hotter, until nothing will seem to cool our hero down.

[One teammate must touch each card to take its effects. Please feel free to play this out in the Discussion area at your leisure (it's suggested that you do this AFTER submitting your cards for the round). If you're not sure how an effect is supposed to work, please comment here and we'll answer you ASAP! If nobody chooses a card by the end of the round, please note this in the Decision, as all teammates will take that punishment at the beginning of the round upcoming.]

Freezing slowly (6 points)
It started at the tips of the hero's fingers, then made its way up; an icy cold, encroaching on the heart.

Swallowing glass (6 points)
And every swallow, everything eaten, felt like sharp shards in the hero’s throat.

A touch that feels like knives (5 points)
Even a soft caress felt like a spinning needle being jabbed past the hero's skin.

NIGHT FIVE

[dramatispersonae]

HAND

[dramatispersonae]

TOTAL POINTS: -2

Hand:
No cards tonight replace the cards you played. You are faced with the Dark cards played against you this round—but following that, the door to your cabin will open as soon as those punishments are taken, and you can find yourself back in the mockery of a Ring . . .

There is one red card as well, metallic around the edges. An extra punishment, perhaps?

Belly full of stones (8 points)
Just a slight pain at first, a heavy weight, like something swallowed too thick. Then again . . . and again . . . if this kept going, would it be possible for a person to burst?

Speaking in gemstones (1 point)
"I grant you," the fairy continued, "that with every word you speak, a flower or a precious stone shall fall from your mouth."

Loss of voice (1 point)
“But if you take away my voice,” said the little mermaid, “what is left for me?”

Slowly burning up (6 points)
A little warm at first . . . then hotter and hotter, until nothing will seem to cool our hero down.

A constant tick tock tick tock (1 point)
"That crocodile would have had me before this, but by a lucky chance it swallowed a clock which goes tick tick inside it, and so before it can reach me I hear the tick and bolt."
