CORAL

[As the game begins, each team finds themselves standing in a small ring of stones. The crystal pillar rests in the center of the circle, easily within sight and hearing of everything that will be going on. You can leave and see the other columns if you like, but once the game has started you can't see what the other teams are doing.

Also present is a small wrought-iron table, on which a curious mechanical swan rests. There's a glass panel set into its back, under which you can see a corroded key. The swan seems to be completely lifeless.]

No one's getting anything!

[ drat ]

It'll probably kill you.

We still have the key. We have a chance to get him out without sacrificing anything.

I've faced death before.

And I'd rather risk myself then the key, since that's our only way to save Dragonfly.

We can't risk breaking the key, Hound. If it shatters, Dragonfly dies.

She doesn't have the right to ask any of us to sacrifice anything...!

[grip tightening around the vial]

Tch. . . of course she doesn't. But she has Dragonfly, and if we don't' do something, then he's going to drown.

Something...!

But what?!

...The swan?

. . .

The swan needs life for the key to work.

Are you sure? [face in palm] ...They are related, so.

[listening in on Ferret]

. . . do you think she'd let us?

...

She never said we couldn't pick.
