SAPPHIRE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

Two!

[Inside the box is a small, silver dagger with a jagged, crooked blade. The handle is made out of gold which shimmers in the candlelight, but you’re probably not concerned with how pretty it is, are you?]

Stab someone to the hilt with this knife, or pass the task on to another team.

...How wonderful.

W-We can't give that to someone else . . .

No, of course not. But having one of us do it instead is going to be...

[picking up the knife, eyeing its length]

...If it's to the hilt, then I'll take this one. I'll be able to take it.

. . . I-If it's somewhere like the hand or—o-or arm . . . that will be easier to bandage.

...I can offer my left arm.

I. I can show where to aim to miss any arteries. I-If you don't know already.

[rolls up his sleeve and holds out his arm]

Can you show me now?

That's--

[...smile.]

I'm surrounded by very capable medics. I'll be fine.

What if--we can find something else to stab, so it isn't any of us?

Stab someone...

[pause...considering.]

[what did I just arrive to]

-- Ah, you're just in time. How good are you with a knife?

...

Um?

We need to have someone stab someone else for this round. I'm offering to take the injury. Would you be able to deal it?

... are you sure about this?

I'm certain.

[deep wheezy breath]

... I don't like it, but ... if you're certain. Make sure you let Apple and Nessa take care of it. And your first aid thing, too.

[nods]

...It says to stab someone. That someone doesn't need to be a team member, do they?

No ... what are you getting at?

[takes a Jabberwock plush out of his inventory.]

He's volunteering for us, since our cowardice disgusts him so.
