Peridot - Game 198

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself standing in a small, snowy clearing in a pine forest. It's nighttime and bitterly cold, moreso than Camelot; the stars go on forever, and there's a very bright full moon. You can see quite easily. There's a stone archway behind you, and through it you can see the Ring, still with the tables full of mead laid out. Scattered around the clearing are twenty-four free-standing wooden doors, carved and polished. They don't seem like they'd lead anywhere if you opened them, but well, #personae.

Pick a door, any door! Which is to say, pick a number from 1 to 24 to stick under "Room Selection." You'll then get your room. Once you're done there, please note what item your team chose and what magic you believe it would convey, under "Answer."

Should we start at the beginning, do you think?

((OOC: About to head home from work, will be absent ~20 minutes, skip me a bit if you want I don't mind))

It's a good enough place to start.

Room 1

Re: Room Selection

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself standing in the middle of a broad field of wheat, ripe heads swaying in a summer breeze. It’s very warm and bright. A set of large, polished gold scales holds a mountain of golden coins in one cup and a yoked pair of cattle in the other. A heavy chain leads from the yoke to the hands of a man; he is frozen in the midst of offering it to a woman who holds a sheath of wheat under one arm.

Huh . . . The gold looks like the obvious choice, but a business deal is pretty powerful too.

Re: Room Selection

[fragmentedimago]

I'd pick the business deal over the gold. It feels less obvious.

Re: Room Selection

[crueltobekind]

We can draw a circle around their hands. Him offering and her accepting?

Re: Room Selection

[fragmentedimago]

Sounds good. The reason... something like, gold is meaningless without the spirit of trade, so without a doubt, trade outweighs gold itself?

Re: Room Selection

[crueltobekind]

That sounds good to me. And the power granted is a greater business network which can reap even more profits in the future.

Re: Room Selection

[fragmentedimago]

That's it exactly.

Re: Answer

Room: 1
Item: The trade: the man and woman's hands where they are respectively offering and accepting the chain have been encircled with the red paint
Magic: Because gold is meaningless without the spirit of a trade, the trade has more value. The power it grants is an expanded business network which can reap even more profits in the future.
