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.

[georgecsmoke]

Yeesh, can’t just let me talk, huh?

[in4apounding]

We've been listening to King Dice and Swackhammer talk for over a month now, and all it's gotten us is twenty people dead and a really shady offer none of us are dumb enough to take.

[georgecsmoke]

That’s because they’re both dopes. You’re talking to someone with class and sophistication, hon.

[in4apounding]

...Mister Wonka? Because I haven't actually talked to him much today.

[georgecsmoke]

Me, kid! Your Friend, Smoke!

[standsforrevenge]

....I knew I shoulda stayed out of that greenhouse.

[georgecsmoke]

I know! Space weed is all hype. You oughta see Phase 2!

[standsforrevenge]

Oh crap, it's you! You're the guy growing all the weed!

[georgecsmoke]

Hottest strains out there!

[codeofhero]

[What the Fuck]

Smoke? [to king dice] Your boss is a floating cloud?

[bringmecontracts]

Ya make it sound like ya dealt with any weirder here.

[codeofhero]

Backslide is still the strangest I've dealt with.

[in4apounding]

[Okay just saying you're her friend works a lot better if you're a cute dark-haired girl in a cloak, sir.]

[Literally spewing out of something in King Dice's mouth is kind of a disadvantage too.]

...And what exactly makes us friends. If you're in charge here, everything is your fault. I don't think I should be friends with someone who got twenty people I killed, especially since I liked most of them.

[georgecsmoke]

I can get you so much more than what this dirtbag can - and might just be able to answer your questions.

[in4apounding]

I mean mostly what I want right now is to stop all of this and prevent it from ever happening again, so I guess you're right about that at least.

[Maybe if she can wave the desktop fast enough it'll be able to- kind of disperse him in the air? Would that kill him?]

...If you're the one in charge, are you the one who picked us to get brought here? And had those weird bios made in the hotel lobby?

[georgecsmoke]

What we’ve got right here and now, kid, is organized religion and drug addiction. Those never truly die.

All me, toots.

[in4apounding]

If something doesn't die you're probably not killing it hard enough. ...Though it's mostly the kidnapping and killing part I'm concerned about stopping, so I'm not sure how that works?

[Give her a big enough gun and a place to mount it and she shall More Dakka the world.]

So why us specifically, then?

[candymancan]

Ok, then. Why is there an occultist worship room dedicated to Hades, both in the mansion and in the weed dispensary? And why is there a severed head who claims to be his acolyte?

[oh_worm]

... seriously?

[udderly]

I don't suppose you know how to, like. Perform a space exorcism or something?

[oh_worm]

I am not a qualified spexorcist, no.

[in4apounding]

Do you think that's something we could just- call for, or something?

[oh_worm]

I don't... think he's a ghost. He looks more like a vapor-based sentient being? Those are a thing.

[udderly]

Well, I have a jar of explosive glue.

[It's the only thing he brought with him, actually.]

[oh_worm]

I don't think it'll do much to him. Maybe if we had a vacuum cleaner?
