RUBY.

[The inside of the tent is spacious, but spare. In the center of the hard-packed dirt floor, as promised, there is a heavy oaken trapdoor with an iron ring set into it.

Apart from that, there is nothing.]

[OOC: Discuss as a team, but choose as individuals: do you venture back into Camelot? What will you try to save? How many of you will be going this time, and who will it be?

After every trip, players will be asked if they’ll be making the trip again. Each new trip starts a new round. After five rounds, when everyone in the team is satisfied that they’ve made enough trips, or are rendered unable to make further trips, inform Mordred and you’ll progress to the final round. Status effects, some mental and some physical, will be handed out each round, increasing in severity rapidly. Anyone who finds their status effects too rough to role-play may request catatonia instead, but that will effectively remove them from play until endgame.

This is not an exploradora, but a game about choices. If you choose to venture into Camelot, once you’ve picked your route, the journey itself will be handwaved except for the status effect and the success or failure of your salvage attempt.]

Do you venture back into Camelot?
What will you try to save?
How many of you will be going this time, and who will it be?

[ this looks like a game?? but Nico is still a little panicky. ]

We - we have to get the rest of our teammates out first, right?

. . . I dunno if it's real. But if you have teammates still in the city, we've gotta at least check.

Not just our teammates, there are others lost to this war calling.

[ n-nods ]

Real or not, they come first.

Yeah. Not all of us are here, and even if it is more like a dream bubble, than reality. . . we should check. I want to, at least.

[ winces at that ]

I know. But I think I saw someone from every team here.

Reality or illusion, our decisions are important.

Khh. . . and I left my partner, Ataro, in Sterling. I can't just leave him there alone.

So I'll go with you guys!

Right. I'll check with you guys! There's no way I'm makin' you go in alone.

We could harbor those that we find along our way.

[but he's thinking, glancing at the door.]

We can all go, right?

Aren't they always?

[unsheathing Mugen with a rasp of metal]

This is fucking bullshit.

R-right. I don't think should leave anyone behind if we find them.

[looking a bit hesitant]

Let me hear your thoughts.

Those were my thoughts.

A bit more eloquently without the bit about the dung.

'Course we can. It'll be safer if we go in a group, anyway.

[hesitates, though. glancing from Nico to the door again.]

Though we put ourselves at risk as well.

That's as eloquent as it deserves.
