HELIODOR

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

Comments

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

A scroll rests on the ground before you, along with a quill pen. As a team, you will need to write a short message (about two sentences) to the other teams on it. (If no one here can write, the pen will respond to your thoughts.)

[Well, that's vague.]

I guess the question is what we want to write?

Not seeing from each others point of view can be pretty bad, but we'll find a way to understand each other. We always manage to come together.

ROUND 1.5

[dramatispersonae]

The scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "Why would someone betray his beloved?"

[Heliodor has submitted this:]



I'm not sure . . . one way or another. There could be a lot of different reasons. Maybe people don't have a good reason. Either way . . . we don't have the answer. Maybe other people could give you optimistic answers like, people shouldn't betray each other in the first place? But they do. I just don't know why.

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

The latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"I am the life of a badass, then I certainly do not forget all the Protestants living darkness they would live, we are engaged in fighting ..."

...what's a Protestant?

[The life of a viking.]

Like live a badass life, remember we'll save those lost to the Darkness, and fight together.

ROUND 2.5

[dramatispersonae]

As before, the scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "What is human nature?"

Re: WORDS FOUND

[oedipuswreck]

[Shinji has just written on the margins, again—]

Human nature is a constant struggle to try to understand and connect with other people . . . we value those connections, and their power, and their meaning, but we're afraid of misunderstanding, of being misunderstood, of being hurt.

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

As before, the latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

This time, the scroll is a bit more tattered than before. Is that dried blood staining its edges?

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"When this is done, what we celebrate, I will give the ridges of the blood of their heyday."
