AMETHYST

[dramatispersonae]

[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]

Better than if you'd gotten the spear, by far.

Why did anyone have to get it? Who kept sending us those things?

Re: DISCUSSION

I don't know. It might not have even been the same team each time, I guess... all we can do is ask around and see if anyone will own up to it.

But if we hadn't had any hope, and we'd gotten the spear, don't you think we would've tried to send it off, too?

I know you would have. Still, three times in a row seems like a bit much. At least the first two weren't as bad as the last one.
