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! Please see here for the OOC summary of events from yesterday's investigation. In addition, please be sure to vote!

Jae-Ha, Yasusada and Souji 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…on a farm.

Yeah. A farm. Congratulations! Surrounded by the sounds of farm animals and the calm winds across the wheat fields, this group will have to venture across the landscape to obtain three keys by completing the following tasks.

-They must collect water from a nearby river with nothing but their bare hands to fill a nearby trough.
-They must clear the rafters of the barn from large birds such as owls and ravens.
-They must rescue a baby duckling from a large, lurking predator such as a fox.

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

Upon completing their last task, the doors of a horse stable will swing open. They may wish to stay together or split up, but exploration of this building will reveal one (1) chest with three key holes.

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

CHEST FOUND

[themodsgrimm]

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.
