A Wager With Death

A Wager With Death

Bren stands on a ladder...he's hanging a sign outside his shop. The sign reads, "Bren's Tailor Shop."

Hello down there, my roomy! Whatcha been up to of late? I'm just hanging this here sign for mah shop! Hummda-dum, dum...

Suddenly, the ladder starts to wobble...

Whoah....WHOAAAAAHHH!

Bam! Bren lands hard on his head. A large dent is made in his skull.

He's rushed to the infirmorary...

He fell off a ladder, you say? Oh, dear! He hit his head very, very hard! I'm sorry to say this, but there's nothing I can do. He's...dying. Right now, he's still out cold, but we can't expect him to wake up again. I'm sorry, young ranger. I know he was your friend...

The lights flicker...

 Oh no...it's happening!

Thunder strikes! The doors swing open, and in comes...

Expirion!

Carrylum. Nice to see you. I'm looking forward to your death at sea, in six years!

You're bluffing! You would never tell someone their death before it happens!

That is true. But I will be there, ready to claim your soul! Just as I have come now to claim Bren's.

Of course! You're here for Bren!

Oui, madame...he has a date with the Beyond Realm!

This isn't right! You can't just stand here and watch Bren die...you have to do something. You open your mouth, and you are almost shocked yourself with what you say!

 ........you.....you wish to make a wager with me? For Bren's soul!?

 Ranger, it isn't healthy to meddle with this sort of thing. You are talking to the god of death right now! You're in over your head!

Oh, no, Carry, I like the idea! A friendly game of "Pictionary!" Of course, that game won't be invented for several hundred more years from now, but seeing as I'm a god, I already know of it, and its rules. In fact, I often play it on the saturday game nights I have with Grappeline and Hydrox!

What is this game you speak of!?

It's simple! We can do it over pigeon port! Basically, I draw a picture of something - and it must be something related to RoR, like a character, or a part f the map, or something like that - and you try to guess what it is. Then, you draw a picture for me, and we go back and forth, until eventually, one of us loses.

This seems risky, but you might be up for it...

 If you win, Bren lives, and I give you 50 XP Tokens! But if I win, I get Bren's soul, and you'll have to buy it back, for 80 XP Tokens! Are you up for it?

This isn't right, ranger! He's probably tricking you!

Think about it. If you want Bren to live, and 50 XP Tokens, send me - or any admin - PM via pigeon port. Title it: "Pictionary w/ Death". I will start.

The decision is yours...will you go for it??
