"I-" He goes as if to insult the cat but then stops. "I. I don't know."

“Then by all means.” Tallin settled on his head. “Walk on.”

Template reaches their hand out to touch it, but as they get inside the field, their hand stops existing. Then their arm, then shoulder, each existing specifically then ceasing to exist as they unravel. “Get that away! I’m unraveling; Tam, Fael?! Help!” 

“Uh— you go back to being Template? Completely whole?”

Bat wasn’t sure that would work.

She looked at her for a moment, than ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Thank you so much." she whispered.

Tam hugged her back, a little surprised.

"Hey, yeah," she whispered back. "Happy to help."

"He's not prideful. He's sweet. Or nice. Or whatever word he prefers."

The crow shot Tam the bird-equivalent of a smirk.

"Mm. Still."

Tam Narrated him back into being.

"Okay, let's not try that ever again, yeah?"

She let go. "Where are we?" she asked.

Just now, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

She let go. "Where are we?" she asked.

"Beach. Home base, kind of. We've just kept coming back here after every adventure- it's a whole thing." She jerked a thumb behind her. "Jungle's over there."

She smiled and made a small cabin on the beach.

Tam looked at it and smiled.

"Nice!"

She Narrated Template so that they wouldn't take on her Narration for a while (@Ookla the Inquisitive) and conjured a tiny replica of the cabin.

Then she turned into a crab again and scuttled inside, giggling.

The Emperor takes one last deep breath closing his eyes. "Fear will not conquer me." He says. "I am fear. Fear to the enemy. The enemy will not prevail." With that, he opens his eyes and holds his sword, Solstice Dawnblade to the sky. "My enemy shall fall!" He yells running to the nearest demon and killing it. He moves onto the next, and then another. "I am The Emperor, and my reign will be one of protection and glory!"

"What do you want Scamp" Sylas says with disdain. "You have little respect to be sneaking up on me like that." He starts towards the jungle temple entrance.

The Emperor’s attack pushes back the demons, and in the section of the battlefield that he fights, his soldiers stand. But the demons and their allies run rampant across the rest of the battle, slaughtering thousands. The battle soon turns ugly, the Emperor’s army splintered into small pockets, some trying to hold, some fleeing, others attempting surrender.

Perseus hesitated. Zavel's words came back to him. 'Anyone can be a Faceless.'

He stepped forward. "Hello?"

 

1 hour ago, Ookla the Inquisitive said:

Kion frowns, wondering why a probable Render would do such a thing. He stays silent, however, letting Perseus take the lead. 

“Stay back!” The voice trembles with fear. “You’re Faceless! You may have taken the rest of them, but I’m wise to your tricks now.” Light reflects of the metallic of a spear, but the one holding it is still shrouded in darkness.

He persuades the fleeing men to return with narration. "You men will not die cowards!"

Bat wasn’t sure that would work. 

Template goes back to being Template, and stumbles away from the Nullite. “It doesn’t like me. I’m a tangle chaotic enough for it to want to fix me, and unstable enough for it to disassemble me. I’m not sure what the other three would do.” 

9 hours ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

"Whoa!"

Tam Narrated him back into being.

"Okay, let's not try that ever again, yeah?"

“I already effectively died several times today - this was only slightly worse. But yes, I will avoid touching Nullite. Where does it come from? It feels… I’m not sure how to describe it.” 

9 hours ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

She smiled and made a small cabin on the beach.

Template avoids being turned into anything, but is teleported into the cabin.

Kion looks into the darkness, pensive. Admission was a focus, if he really needed it. “I know of no way to prove this - I have not been here long - but I am not Faceless. We can help you, if you trust us. Perhaps magic could be proof to you.”

The men return and die without cowardice, but die they do. Soon defeat turns into slaughter, and the Emperor fights alone against the tide of enemies, his army destroyed.

“Magic? That would only prove you’re a Faceless!” Despite these words, the voice sounds uncertain.

"I'm sure we'll find someone who knows the answer soon!"

Subversion sighed. Looked like there'd be no creating a pocket dimension in the guest room. How boring.

 

There were several puzzles of various varieties.

... nodded. "All right. Come with me, and we'll make the preparations."

Moni stared into the darkness of the cave. "All right, who's going in first?"

Selppaenip followed ... with gusto.

I AM PRISONER! No other! No... Other...

Perseus nodded. "let's go."

It doesn't have to be your name. The name of someone you worked with, or the name of this threat... anything.

17 hours ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

". . . Huh."

Tam turned back into herself.

Tam who had just turned into her normal self, gave him a weird look.

"Um, no."

Then she turned the crow into an equally fluffy (though pink) rabbit.

It chittered angrily at her.

That's exactly why I was wondering, actually. You've been so serious the past few posts- I thought something was wrong.

"Well, if there's one thing I'm serious about, it's about not being serious!"

"Why do this Omen?" The Emperor asks. "If you wish to break me, I will not be broken. Those men who died, lived faithful lives and they will not be punished for it. I will not let them die in vain!" The Emperor holds his blade to the sky as it emits a glorious light. "I have ascended, and none shall break my will!" His voice has changed to an echo of Godly ascension. He thrusts the blade into the ground and a shockwave emits from it. All of the Emperor's enemies get incinerated in flames when they touch the field of power. All that is left is the Emperor and Xal'Badreal.

Subversion mixed all the puzzles together and began attempting to create one mega-puzzle from all the pieces.

Omen remains silent once again. The field flashes with light as the Narrators and a few of the withergeists reconstitute themselves from the Emperor’s attack. Then they vanish, leaving the Emperor and XalBadreal alone on the field once again.

… led Selppaenip down a set of hallways and into a room filled with scribes. “Apprentice,” … said. “Go to the Wise Judge and inform them that we are ready to begin the trial.”

Why can’t I remember???!!!!!
