KNIGHTS

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...?"

"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."

Are we talking about Camelot...?

[ Chewing on a sandwich, answering like um DUH??? ]

Clearly we gotta restore it!

[...]

Is this Camelot?

Hmph... you've already seen and heard my answer to this one, Nimue.

It's just a ruin, right?

"You must answer as a group."

[working on whittling a piece of wood, since this is just talking...]

Oh, come on! Like we all have the same answers!

So we have to figure out what to ask together?

How did it get ruined, what'll it take to restore it, et cetera.

*i hope you like the taste of sad heavy background guilt in the morning Just*

Mithos and I had the same question, so those are easily combined.

[resigned and nostalgic, but sympathetic]

Sure sounds like it. I still don't see why we can't just restore it, though? well, it's not like what Noble said was wrong about it just being a ruin now either... would it even be the same kingdom if it was restored?

It wouldn't be, naturally, but it makes it a space that can be lived in again. The new inhabitants can determine for themselves what the kingdom would be.

I think it deserves to be buried, at least. And I'm pretty happy about being able to rebuild.

[ftr, Just, he's mad and worried but channeling it pretty effectively over here.]

[Drifting between Lloyd and Mithos then. Cheerful.]

So--"What destroyed the kingdom, is it Camelot, and what would it take to rebuild it?" then?

Aah, a memorial kind of thing is not a bad idea! You rebuild around it, and then make the ruins that aren't too dangerous special historical memorial sites!

"A memorial...?"

Yeah! Like, when a ton of people die by sickness, or by war, and they were just victims... that kind of thing is natural to respect.

Yeah. Things move on, but the past should be remembered.

To commemorate the fallen. That kind of thing is a little sad.

A memorial is important, and cleaning up. After that — what're the answers to the three questions, Nimue?

[quiet for now, thinking]

"The kingdom's name matters not... for this game."

"It was destroyed from within, its security and secrets sold by a trusted knight for coin and influence by envious enemies."

"What it would take to restore it... would depend on what you are capable of."

...my answer would be to make a memorial and restore what we could with our own hands. But in the end it'll come down to people who love that kingdom, too.

I agree with Lloyd. It's the people within the kingdom that will best determine what happens in the end, even if we rebuild what is possible.
