HELIODOR

There is cauldron in the center over your area. The walls are tinged in your team's colors, but besides the cauldron, it's bare.

The water in the cauldron is glowing faintly.

Then, Nimue speaks, and as she speaks, the cauldron begins to reflect her vision.

"There lies a kingdom in ruin... Through no fault of its own. All of its inhabitants dead, or lost to the world. Though it lies in ruin, you can see the the faint remnants of the beauty it once contained."

A pause, her voice sounds fainter now.

"Heroes... you have choices that we do not. How... would you use them...?"

Scenario One

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
"What would you do for this kingdom now?"

"You may choose as you see fit the fate that you would believe... it deserves."

"You may ask me any questions."

"And I, in turn, may ask you questions for your answer."

What happened to the kingdom?

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Disease, brought by a traitor... and spread throughout the kingdom. Once it took the life of the king, there was mass panic, and it was attacked."
restorefromsave: (With no show of an outward emotion)

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
What happened to the people? And the traitor?

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
"The traitor lives, though I know not where. The people are dispersed, living as foreigners and beggars in other kingdoms."
restorefromsave: (And not all the king's horses)

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Could the king be brought back to life?

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
"... Yes. One day, he can..."
restorefromsave: (And all the king's men)

What would it take?

"He will return... when his kingdom needs him most."

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
How could he be needed more than when his kingdom is in ruin?

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
....Is there a way to hunt down the traitor, then?

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
"It depends... on your abilities. Or who you enlist to help."

"His name and face are well known by former citizens of the kingdom..."
restorefromsave: (When your whole world depends)

Re: Scenario One

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
I would hunt down the traitor until the return of the king. The kingdom would not be able to thrive with such a one in any case.

"I see..."

Scenario two

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
"The kingdom was once a great kingdom, filled with loyal subjects, and guarded by a fair king and his chivalrous knights."

The cauldron begins to reflect this, rewinding in time.

"However, there is a traitor in their midst, who seeks to destroy them. How would you prevent this?"
restorefromsave: (And bright plastic chains)

Re: Scenario two

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Kill the traitor.

Re: Scenario two

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
"But who is he...?"
restorefromsave: (But the game never ends)

Re: Scenario two

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Investigation, wariness. Stay beside the king at all times until the traitor could be found. If the traitor brings disease, then ensure the king's safety is paramount.

Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Our king is but a young boy-- barely able to lift a sword... and yet he now bears the weight of a mighty kingdom on his shoulders."

The image in the cauldron is of a young boy, awkward and gawky, yet he wears a crown upon his head, even as he seems a bit ill at ease.

"What... would you tell this young boy?"
restorefromsave: (With no show of an outward emotion)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
....What does he know?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Nothing, he was only just made king."
restorefromsave: (Are all made of gold)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
Why was he made king?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
"It was his destiny."
restorefromsave: (When your whole world depends)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Was it his destiny to die to treason, as well?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm... It was not."
restorefromsave: (And bright plastic chains)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then why did he die?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Because he... like others... made a mistake."
restorefromsave: (And all the king's men)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
What was his mistake?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"He could not resist temptation..."
restorefromsave: (When your whole world depends)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
What was the temptation? What happens if he refuses to be king?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"You would tell him to refuse...?"
restorefromsave: (With no show of an outward emotion)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends. What was his destiny supposed to be?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"To create the first nation of its kind."
restorefromsave: (And they follow the races)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
What sort of nation was it?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"A peaceful one, ending all conflict in that area."
restorefromsave: (But the game never ends)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. Does he want this?

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-11-23 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"I do not know."
restorefromsave: (And chains)

Re: Final Question

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2012-11-23 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I would ask him what he wants, first. And if he does not want that fate, I would tell him not to be king.

If he wants to be king, I would tell him to take care of himself.

You are able to return to the ring...
