So I guess we know now what happens when you sacrifice three corpses to the tower.

Everyone might just want to stay out of the tower in the arena until this is cleared up. If you go in, you wind up in a mirror boss fight with a shadow version of yourself.

If you leave and go back in, it keeps happening. I wound up fighting mine four times just to make sure. But on the plus side, if you beat it there's a chance it'll drop a memory charm. I got three of them, all from, like, alternate universe mes. I don't know if that's universal or not. Anyone else have data they'd like to submit?

Something I need to run by you, bro.


((OOC: After consulting with the mods: A memory charm definitely drops after the first fight; on each subsequent fight, there's a 50% chance of a charm dropping.))

The latter. My current fighting style is entirely too honorable and upstanding. [ And while he was able to beat his shadow, he suffered far too much damage doing so. He'll take whatever tips he can get, though it's a blow to his ego. ]

Does "fighting like a scoundrel" involve being needlessly inebriated?

[thehungman]

[ She laughs, reminded of a broody elf from Tevinter. Come to think of it, Dirk does pull off "cold insolence" really well. If only he were older. ]

I don't know about "need", but it's certainly more fun. You should try it.

Draw out your blade and we can begin.

[fracturedsoul]

...oh. [ He'd just been expecting to talk. His mouth quirks into a slight frown. ] Don't got one here.

[thehungman]

What about your nifty chest weapon?

[fracturedsoul]

I'm a weapon this round and besides, you can't draw your own weapon usually. The shit in the tower's a special situation.

[ A pause. ]

And it's not a blade. I have a spear.

[thehungman]

Oh. Blast. I was hoping to try it on you, but I guess we can just talk.

[ She places a couple of tiny, bomb looking things on the table. ]

Using a few, common household items, you can blind, stun and confuse enemies with these bad boys. It's a rogue's best friend.

And while they're incapacitated, stab them in the back! [ Laughs. ]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He picks up one of the bombs to look it over up close. ] Now, why didn't I think of that?

What household items?
