ENDGAME GROUP 1: Hellscapes (Log 1)

[yourghosthost]

Now then.

[The initial groups have begun to disperse, and Ghostave and a group of stalwart young heroes remain seated right where they are.]

One of the things we’re looking for is supposedly in The Underworld. I intend to use this opportunity to speak to Hades as well, about his intentions.

...As well as find this “other box” that he seems to have so casually mentioned. Do we have any questions before we venture forth?

(ooc: if you’re in group 1, this is one of your logs!)

...I don’t know. That two-timing - you say that like I’d know a way.

[kindaruledatit]

...Yeah, I don't think he'd actually know how to do that.

[whistlenotchirp]

So you know him? As in, made deals before? What'd he do?

[roundzero]

We were in the game together. He was -

He neglected to mention that he was the one secretly running it.

[kindaruledatit]

...Oohhhh boy.

[whistlenotchirp]

Criminy Jickets.

What does he even gain from all this? The rituals, the clubs, I don't get it.

[kindaruledatit]

I mean.... he's the god of the dead. Dead people are kind of his business?

[whistlenotchirp]

Would he want more people? I mean, when you get down to it, if he wants more dead folk all he has to do is wait.

[roundzero]

We’re not like the others. I’m not sure how, but he’s treating us very differently. We haven’t passed on yet - we haven’t made it to Tartarus or the Elysian Fields. He’s merely keeping us in some sort of purgatory.

[kindaruledatit]

Yeesh, sounds like you're more alive than dead.

[roundzero]

None of us have truly reached out final resting places.

Think about it. Hades has interfered with your final judgements. I’m just not sure why.

[hallotween]

It was worth a try! [jeez she's being put on the spot here okay]

Why are you fighting in this place? Where's the other people from your round?

[roundzero]

They’re in that box. Hades sometimes drags us out here and has us fight in this arena. Some have escaped. Some haven’t.

[hallotween]

... Who's escaped?

[roundzero]

The pirate. That fox. The blonde witch - the one that’s less than sensible.

[hallotween]

Then the other witches are still there...

How does Hades bring you guys in and out, when he takes you out to play?

[roundzero]

He has a key. Fortunately, I have a copy of it.

[hallotween]

[holds out hand]

[roundzero]

And what is to stop you from maiming me if I handed it over.

[madmadam]

Absolutely nothing, but you're still coughing it up.

[hallotween]

[holds out hand again, but more aggressively]

[roundzero]

...No.

[hallotween]

[over shoulder] You guys are done with the questions, right? Just checking real quick.

[madmadam]

[hey, is it dragon time again? I think it's dragon time again]

I suppose I'll just have to eat you and cough up the key later!

[kindaruledatit]

....C'mon, dude. I promise we won't beat you up anymore if you just cough up the key.
