Final Trial

[bringmecontracts]

[After everyone is done investigating the rooms, they will hear a faint creeek from the mansion’s entrance. Once they heads towards the noise they will discover a set of stairs leading to the basement that definitely weren’t there earlier.

Once they head downstairs, they will find themselves in a long hallway that seems to stretch out forever. It doesn’t, luckily, but eventually the hallway ends at a large empty room, with just a throne in the center.

The living guests will immediately realize they're not alone because King Dice is here already laying across the throne and smoking a cigar. He grins at the survivors and stand up.]

Well congrats, kids! I must say I’m impressed that that you managed to get down here alive, considering who was leading ya.

Now, I’m sure y’all have a lot of questions about what’s going on but I gotta settle something first:

[He looks directly at Michael.]

Mikey, I believe we have to finish our arrangement now.

[bringmecontracts]

No catch at all! Ya suffered long enough that any catch would just be rubbing salt in a wound.

I just want ya to accept a parting gift from me

[in4apounding]

...Is it weed? It's weed, isn't it.

[bringmecontracts]

Aren't you a smart cookie? Yes that's exactly what I'm offerin' ya.

[in4apounding]

I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone here would just get rid of it, if we took it? So you wouldn't really be gaining anything.

[Processing...]

Except then you'd probably just do this all again, right? Kidnap more people and get them to kill each other, and maybe some of them would actually take it home and use it.

[bringmecontracts]

Now it would be rude to just throw away a gift.

Why do ya not trust me? I’m givin’ ya an opportunity to leave, no questions asked.

[in4apounding]

I'm actually pretty okay with being rude? I mean, to you specifically. At this point. ...Because you're a wad.

[Literally cannot stress that enough.]

And- I do have some questions. Or one, I guess, at least. Are you going to do all this again, after we leave?

[bringmecontracts]

I won't do it again, of course! It's not in my nature to set these things up in the first place, let alone run it by myself.

[in4apounding]

You did say that, back when we first met.

[Hm. Hmmmmmm.]

So- I guess at least one more question. If you're not in charge right now, who is? If you didn't want to be in charge alone, you could've just let us all go as soon as Mister Swackhammer died and no one was paying you. But you still killed Kubo and executed Audrey, and kept the game going.

So either you were lying about not wanting to be in charge, or Mister Swackhammer wasn't actually in charge. So who is?

[bringmecontracts]

[He chuckles.]

A friend of mine set this place up. Do ya honestly believe Swackhammer had even half the mount of brain power required to set something up like this?

[in4apounding]

Not in retrospect, no.

[She looks over at Cleo and mouths 'moron of moron mountain'.]

Is your friend here?

[bringmecontracts]

My friend's been watchin' this whole time!

[udderly]

A friend or a "friend."

[Yes, he made air quotes. Anyway he saw those pictures.]

[bringmecontracts]

Well he ain't a fake friend if that's what you're askin'.

[codeofhero]

"Parting gift"?

Are you leaving us?

[bringmecontracts]

In a sense.

I’d like to bring ya home, no questions asked.

[codeofhero]

Us?

[He has to ruminate on that, for a moment.]

I don't believe it. After the indignity we have suffered, you would return us to our worlds, simple as that?

[bringmecontracts]

Yes, all of ya.

Exactly! Y'all have been stuck here long enough, so we thought it'd be best to take everyone home.

[standsforrevenge]

You killed like 20 people, my dude.

[bringmecontracts]

In case ya forgot, for most of that game I was just the guy who handed out free stuff.

[standsforrevenge]

You were workin' with the fat man! And you gave Audrey the unicorn murder weed!

[bringmecontracts]

Ya can't blame me for that! I jus' wanted to show her somethin' I'm passionate about! If it caused her to kill then that's her problem.

[standsforrevenge]

Fuck yeah I'm blaming you! I bet you're the one growing that space weed in the greenhouse!

[bringmecontracts]

Well I got news for you, buddy:

I ain't the one growin' the weed.

[candymancan]

I'm pretty sure you killed at least a few of our number. And condoned the rest of it.

[bringmecontracts]

Well one of them cheated and then I had to follow the rules with Audrey. I feel like I'm no less of a victim than some of you in that case.
