#27DEA9 GET YO CHARACTER SHEET

[pyrafect]

In Kaoru's post, we've learned that the old woman in the woods told her that only those who have a page in the book may go home. If you believe this old woman, then I have news for you:

The other day, Archer, Wei Wuxian, and I found a chest in the woods that contains these pages. You may only bring your own back with you to place within the book.

To reach the chest, you must enter the woods with someone and pass three trials...

[ She'll detail the three trials as given by the mods here: the fake voices, the climbing, and the sacrifice. ]

Be safe. I hope for those who wish to go home, you will be happy. But for those who wish to stay, I hope that there is still a way to make this town safe.

[ With that, she closes her laptop. ]

Are you all right?

[Climbing can be hard on the hands. But also...]

Which one of you made the sacrifice?

[pyrafect]

Those of us in need of a page made a sacrifice.

[wooden_one]

[Well. That's worrying.]

Of course this place would ask for that.

I suppose, even if they had let you bring the chest back the price would have been far too high.

[He's assuming here but he's sure if they could have managed to bring back the chest they would have even if the price was great.]

[pyrafect]

You must find someone with whom to go.

[wooden_one]

[...was she reading his mind or something?]

I've climbed mountains on my own before.

[pyrafect]

This one you must climb with another.

[ She’ll leave it at that. If he wants to try alone, surely by now he knows the perils of the woods...

She knows from his younger version of himself that he doesn’t believe himself to have friends or anyone with whom he’s close. She also knows that he’s under the impression that he scares others away...

He’ll have to overcome these self-doubts if he wishes to return home, even if it may not be easy. ]

Ask someone with whom you are close, before it is too late.

[wooden_one]

[Of course it is.]

I'll find someone.

[He still...has doubts. But he at least believes he can figure something out.]

[pyrafect]

We wish you luck.

[ And that is the most she might give him. ]

That does sound like the sort of thing to be expected here. Three trials…

Thank you for the information. Are you doing well now?

[pyrafect]

It is true, this town enjoys testing us and the limits of our bonds.

You are welcome.
