The Seventh Trial: Group A

[Upon entering the tent, you find yourself in a resplendent throne room. It's empty, aside from a huge throne made of some kind of material that shimmers and sparkles like the night sky, but the floor is mostly covered in a plush raspberry pink rug, and banners of the same colour hang from the walls.

The banners appear to have been dipped in blood, so heavy that the crest once on them is no longer visible. They drip, slowly.

Upon the throne is a simple, unadorned golden crown.]

Where is Justice?

Who wears the crown...?

He's my lover. Get in line.

[just gonna try to walk on past]

[ Yeah no he's gonna stay right there and push him back when he tries - and like, he doesn't have super strength right now but he's still a reasonably athletic guy ]

No.

[He isn't easily pushed, but he also doesn't try to shove Peter. He does however, lift the sword a bit.]

You want to sentence everyone to death instead? Will that make him happy?

You don't know if it would kill us all! It's your guess. And even if it were the case, the possibility was there earlier as well. So why is it that suddenly you're no longer willing to risk it?

The question is different, so the rules are different.

The question is putting a hypothetical kingdom at risk, and Randy is right there, real! You think your beliefs are more important than a person's life? I don't care if it's temporary!

I don't believe it's hypothetical.

But you don't know. Just like you don't know if we all will die or not.

Risk assessment doesn't rely on only certainties.

You know what?

You're right. So worst case scenario, let's assume you're right and I'm wrong. I don't care. We're not killing him.

"We" don't need to be in agreement. I'll do what I think is best, and if you try to stop me again, I'll make you move.

[He's trying to get past again, and this time has every intention of using that sword if he needs to.]

[ No use taking a sword himself, he doesn't know how to use it. He could grab one of the shields, sure, but he's pretty sure that by the time he gets one this guy would be able to get to Randy.

So just like earlier, he's going to stand in his way to push him back - knowing it might end with him getting stabbed. This sure would be a lot easier if he had his usual strength ]

I won't have it.

So be it, then.

[He is in fact going in for a cut! But he's just aiming to disable a knee. No need for murder.]

[ he will still make the saddest attempt to grab his wrist with like, full intention of breaking it as he very stubbornly tries to force himself to keep moving despite the pain, but it's not gonna be very successful considering ]

[He steps around it with the grace of practice, barely sparing Peter a cold look as he moves around for Randy. RIP.]
