[ Your team is in a stone room. In the middle of the room are three empty glass boxes. On the wall in front of you is a screen that currently displays this weird chart:

20
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
10 [ coral ]
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
0

And then words scroll across the screen: ]

Twenty is victory, zero is defeat. Your partner team is a secret, for now. If you wish to know who it is I require one of three payments. A voice. A sight. A sound. If you wish to make that exchange at any time, break the box in the middle.

You may also 'pass' twice. However in doing so you will drop a minimum of two levels.

Partner team? Who . . .

[becoming_hope]

[chewing her lip] So, the prices if we want to know are someone's voice or sense of sight or sound? Or...?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

Oi, Three! If you want a sound, we'll give you the sound of this box shattering in exchange for knowing who our partner team is.

[kicks at the middle box to break it]

[ YOUR ROOM SUDDENLY GIVES A SICKENING LURCH

. . . DOWN

And you can feel yourself plummet! And then come to a very sudden stop. Your screen displays "Your team is on level 1 -- oh, wait, it looks like some knights have moved to protect you! You're actually on level 6." and then one of the walls lowers and you find yourself back in The Ring... ]
