CHAPTER SEVEN ; TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 711 Narrators Remain ; Wakey wakey, naughty murder children. It's a lovely Saturday, after all. Breakfast is served piping hot at its usual time and all of the evidence has been removed from the scenes of yesterday. No matter how you choose to spent your morning though, the clock will begin to chime the moment both hands reach the large, ornate twelve. Before your eyes materializes a door...but not just any door. Unlike the door leading to the festival, this door sits primly and properly right in front of the foyer. Whether you exit the castle on your own or you feel a friendly, invisible push, you begin to walk under an arc of wisterias. Behind you, the clock continues to chime with every step you take. By the time the time the clock strikes twelve, you've entered a beautiful garden. In front of you is a long table, 19 seats on each side. Around the garden are several glass cases containing evidence collected yesterday. As noon intensifies on the sun-shaped clock, you'll find Dragon at the head of the table, a glass-covered rose near her right hand. Tick tock, Narrators. You have nine hours to deliberate. The garden is strangely silent and there are no snacks today...it seems as though you'll be left to your own devices. Welcome to your trial post!

Varian, Rapunzel, Hiro, and Yona will find a door that materializes in front of them, urging them to go through it. As they enter this door on the other side they will find themselves standing in what appears to be an… abandoned warehouse as a storm rages outside. Furniture and household items stack on top of each other to make a maze-like path.

Instinctively, they will know that they have to accomplish four things in order to obtain four keys.

- Upon exploring through the warehouse for a time, there will be a knock on the door. They will have to find the goodness in their hearts to let in a pair of elderly siblings into the warehouse.
- … only to discover that they seem to be interested in painting the furniture with the blood of the quartet. The twins will leave a trail of blood in their wake – use that in order to avoid them in the maze.
-In the middle of the maze, they'll enter a large open space surrounded by furniture. They will have to trick the twins into a dance of some sort, twirling and spinning them to get them to back off. Confusing them will help them to dodge them a bit longer.
- Ultimately, the two must meet their end by being crushed underneath a wardrobe – or other large furniture piece of your choice.

For each completed task, they will also receive one silver key.

Upon completing all four of these tasks, they will have to find their way to the other end of the maze. At the end – upon climbing a mountain of bean bags– they’ll find a chest with four locks for each of their keys.

Once your characters find the chest, please reply to this comment so we can let them know what they’ve found!

Congratulations, Narrators. Upon retrieving the chest, they will feel a warm sensation spread throughout their bodies as they and their prize are pushed back through another door, landing back in that weird space they originally started. The chests disappear the moment they hit the ground. It appears that you won't learn what's inside until later...but look at that. You're just in time for the execution.
