And now there was snoring. Not very loud, but still... it was turning out to be a very long nap.

Eventually she did wake up and feeling rather frustrated that somehow she'd fallen asleep for that long. Dusting herself off, Imryn sat back up and made another attempt. Maybe it was just lack of sleep before, but this time things seemed to go smoothly... a feeling of weightlessness and tranquility spreading over her.

This time she was a bit more prepared as the doubt and fear crept into her mind while meditating. It wasn't anything she hadn't felt before... fear of never being able to regain her body. Taking a few deep breaths, imryn worked past the fear and came out better for it in the end, a grin on her face as she left the room.

Day 4 
OOC OOC Task: Whether you have a friend or you make it yourself, you are expected to create your own artwork of what you will offer as a prayer towards one of the few altars of Death. (These can be made by paint/grabbing a google image, whatever you deem best!) There are four priestesses gathered around the altar, as you move up the line, you move towards the next available priestess. These artworks will be prayer items only (do not offer your undergarments, death does not want them ok) so it will not be limited to incense sticks. It can be anything from any religion/culture attached to your tih student! Although how you offer your item by rping it out, will be determined by the priestess you roll. (Please keep the images CANON to the SETTING, otherwise you will be disqualified from points as the priestess will be : | at you. All four of them.) [ Mechanics: ] -You will need to roll for summoning a priestess and the success of your item -When your roll is successful in presenting a gift, you can insert your image. If your roll is a fail, you do not need to come up with different items, you simply can gloss over it until you make a successful post and then post your prayer item image. -You can only roll two times a day that's every OOC 24 hours. (for both the priestess and your success of the image.)- Please roleplay out all results whether they are pass or fail
26-50 - This priestess has a small smile when you come to the altar, as she offers her hand to accept your offering. She is Kalia. Kalia has two twin tails that are not hidden by her hood, her robe shorter than the rest. She seems to be nicer than the others, although she says nothing. Her figure is shown through the form-fitting robe, lacy design and she seems to have a fondness for cute offerings. It's the way she fingers your offering, with an interested gaze before setting it down or how she might put one to the side, before moving onto the next student..
51-75 - The third priestess is dressed in a skimpy armor, top and shorts. Her name is Vari. She has long blood red hair, her adornments on her outfit crimson-streaked as if she has recently come from battle. While she doesn't speak, the way she stands in an arrogant, haughty manner with her feet apart and side glances towards you. You are apparently of little consequence to her, although her attention is captured easily if you come up with something interesting..
76-100 - The fourth priestess is one you know very well. Or at least, some students do. It is the heir of Death, Aisa. She is sitting at the edge of the altar, her legs crossed, looking quite bored. The question is, what do you offer to this whimsical insanity-ridden heir of Death? Considering she's the heir, you may want to choose wisely. Unlike others, she is prone to talk much more and possibly .. attack. Although the chances of that is very unlikely.SUCCESS.. or not?1-20 - You chicken out before you get to the priestess. Perhaps you decide your prayer simply isnt good enough or that there was a priestess you didn't want to approach.. For whatever reason* you did not come up, you go back to the end of the line to start over.
21-40 - Success! You did not forget your item or lost it, you have mustered up the courage to walk and give it to a priestess! However, you seem pretty breathless or tired. Depending on the priestess you drew, you get a variety of reactions. Ameton disregards you with a disapproving stare, Kalia offers you a drink of water, Vari scoffs at you and Aisa .. Well, she's laughing. She looks like she's hoping you fall off the edge. Either way, you have a point to spend now!
41-60 - You forgot your item or you dropped it somewhere on your way here. Damn, time to run back and find it, get it or make/bring an entirely new one. Shoot, how do you tell the priestess you forgot/lost it?
61-80 - You managed to walk up .. but right before you reach the priestess, an unlucky event* like the wind or your unsure footing in these uneven rocks leads your item to fall to it's inanimate death off the spiral. Shoot, looks like you need a new item..
81-100 - Success! The priestess has either reluctantly or happily accepted your offerings and you earn one point to spend in the raffle or shop!
*means you can make up any reason corresponding to the loss of your item, relevant to the prompt!
POINTS DISTRIBUTION [ Horsemen Points Distribution: ] - You obtain one horsemen point every SUCCESS you obtain (max two this way) - For every picture you hand draw you get another +1 point! You can only obtain a maximum of 3 points daily with the SUCCESS and hand drawn image points totaled).

Imryn patiently waited for her turn to give the priestess her offering, but there was something about the way she looked at all of them that just... felt off. Maybe it was the way the Horsemen viewed Halloweeners, or maybe a bee had gotten in her robes,but she gave Imryn the chills. 'Ok... I can't do this... not right now and not by myself...' she mumbled, chickening out and leaving before giving a offering.

Wanting to at least try one more time, Imryn goes to get back in line for another chance. But this one didn't seem to go very well for her either. right as she got up to where Aisa was sitting there was a bit of a disturbance behind her and someone bumped into her... making her drop her offering. It had been a delicate piece and the fall had broken it into a few smaller pieces. "I'm so sorry..." was sll she said, not wanting to risk irritating them before leaving.

Day 5
When you entertain this inspired idea (and if would be wise of you to do so), you will slip through the slim rock passage to enter a new room, each tailored to provide its own challenge. The rooms all share one thing: a cushioned pedestal, on which rests an ornate, reverently polished piece of jewelry, a perfectly cut gem set directly in its center. A light hum and the most subtle of rumblings begins from somewhere in the room that you face, a hint of something to come, and your best option appears to be to put the jewelry on.
The item only stays with you long enough to offer insight on what it can provide. As soon as your task is complete, it returns to the cushioned pedestal, and your only exit guides you back to the cavernous room from your initial approach. OOC Information: At the very beginning of this course (when your character is in the cavernous room) roll a 1d6 to determine which gem setting you receive, and match with the corresponding section. If you roll a 6, you can select any of the options. Some of the mechanics differ, so be sure to pay close attention to the mechanics for the option that you rolled. To complete the task, you will need to follow the prompt within the correct section. Don't worry about standard HP values, FEAR attacks, or natural abilities - if your student properly appreciates and understands the strength and application of their gem/the jewelry, then they should have no need for any of that. 1 - The Diamond-Set Circlet You are not given much time to play around with the intuitive mechanic bestowed upon you by the diamond, the gem of protection. The whistle of projectiles hurling in your direction fills the air, and you might find yourself reflexively throwing your arm up to block some of the incoming attack...only to find that some sort of invisible shield is called forth by this motion. Using this motion to save yourself from injury, you must make your way to the exit on the other side of the room. Roll 1d20. If your roll is anything other than 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, you successfully complete the course. If your roll falls on one of these numbers, you fail to shield yourself from one of more of the projectiles. The whistling sound immediately stops, allowing you to freely walk towards the exit with the burden of your failure. 2 - The Ruby-Set Bangle Only moments after you put the bracelet on, the floor drops out beneath you! Luckily, it was only an illusion. You stand several feet above the level that the ground now sits on some invisible layer that you can't see, but can certainly feel. Closer inspection of the new 'floor' seems to show that it now houses a sort of labirynth/obstacle course. Even if it were not impossible to reach, it's much too small for you to pass through. With the help of the ruby, however, a small, flickering shade of vaguely humanoid proportions pops into existence at the beginning of the course. As ruby if the gem of devotion, you now have the unique opportunity of holding the control over a thing that is entirely devoted towards fulfilling your desires. Your task is to not squander this devotion, instead guiding your follower on a safe passage. This can be done with any sort of indication of direction: head nodding, pointing, hand motions, etc. Roll 4d4 and match each number with the corresponding result.1: Your shade continues through the course without difficulty, occasionally 'looking' back to you for direction. 2: Your shade gets caught in a trap, but manages to free itself and continue along. 3: Your shade gets caught in a trap and can't continue. 4: Your shade has some trouble passing through the course, but ultimately seems to be doing fine. (You successfully lead your shade minion through the course as long as you avoid rolling a 3.) 3 - The Emerald-Set Necklace You look down towards your chest as you put the necklace on, intrigued by the shine of the gem. When you glance back up, you see five smiling scarelings staring happily up at you, each offering a little wave as they run off to play in the center of the room. You find yourself unable to move or speak, and can only watch on in horror as some sort of grotesque, shadowy creatures descend upon the group. Though you can't protect them, the emerald, as the gem of health, will allow you to mend their injuries. Roll 10d10. The first five dice correspond with each of the five scarelings, and indicate how much damage they take. The second set (dice 6-10) indicate how much you're able to heal them for via the properties of the necklace. They have to stay above 5hp each for you to succeed, causing the attacks to cease and the exit to display itself to you; if you fail, they all disappear with a longing wail, and you find yourself in an empty room with the same single exit. The scarelings start at 10 hp each! 4 - The Sapphire-Set Brooch The brooch clips easily to your clothing (or hair or wing or whatever else is clippable), tugging gently beneath the weight of the gem. It's heavier than it looks, you realize...just in time for the rumbling to grow louder, sending a cascade of stones from the ceiling, blocking your only exit from the room. As you approach them, you realize that they are all settled very solidly among one another. It's going to be difficult to dislodge them and advance through the exit. When you reach to press against one, you find that it is a little easier than you anticipated. You owe this to the sapphire, the gem of strength. Removing the stones is not an effortless procedure, but you do find both an inner encouragement and a slight physical boost to nudge you towards victory. Roll 3d100 and add up the total, then match it with its corresponding result. 0-100: You find that moving the stones is still so hard, and give in to your physical exhaustion. The instant you admit defeat, the stones disappear and the brooch returns to its padded pedestal. You exit with few injuries and the weight of your failure. 101-200: You only make it through about half of the stones before you succumb to exhaustion. You are able to slip through a small opening to exit, but not without a hefty assortment of scrapes and scratches. 201-300: You easily slip into a rhythm of rock-moving motion, and have the exit cleared in just a few short moments. You exit without incident. 5 - The Amethyst-Set Ring The ring slips onto your finger, adjusting easily to fit the necessary size requirements. As it settles against your form, the hum grows louder, approaching an almost unbearable level. And that's when you notice that it's the heavy stampede of an oncoming cluster of faceless attackers. Thanks to the gem of temperance, you're able to flip the effect onto the oncoming attackers instead of applying restraint to yourself. The ground itself warps into rocky strips, clasping around their feet and shackling them in place. Though they reach forward and struggle, the shackled attackers aren't able to reach you. Roll 2d12 and add up the total result. The resulting number is the amount of attackers that you restrain. If you're able to prevent the majority of the attackers (a dice roll total of 13 or higher) from reaching your location, you are able to push past them and reach the exit. If you fail, you are overcome by the attackers, and slip through some sort of trap door...finding yourself in the initial cavernous room once more. POINTS DISTRIBUTION [ Horsemen Points Distribution: ] +1 point if you succeed +1 point if you roll a "perfect score" (no failure rolls; cannot go over 3 points/day with the inclusion of this bonus) +1 point for the following (cannot go over 3 points/day with the inclusion of this bonus): -Roll a perfect 20 for Diamond. -Two or more rolls of '1' and no 'failure' rolls for Ruby. - Leave all five scarelings with 9 or more HP for Emerald. -Roll 250 or higher for Sapphire. -Restrain at least 21 attackers for Amethyst.

Imryn had been curious about the room that had held the diamond circlet a few days before and planned to head back there again today to see what else might be found there. Upon arriving, it appeared to be the same black room frm before... making her wait a little before the niche appeared for her to enter. With a little grin she headed into the next room, only to find a emerald necklace this time sitting there on the pedestal. Without a second though, Imryn slipped it on , admiring how it looked around her neck for a moment before looking back up at the rest of the room.
What she hadn't expected to find however was scarelings there in the room with her... waving and smiling before running off to go play. And then the creatures... coming up and attacking them. She tried to move, to yell... something... but her body wouldn't respond. The most she could do was use the gem to try to protect... well... she had a feeling that this one might heal them.
However, that was a futile effort on her part. No matter how much she healed them, the creatures always did more damage. And in the end she lost the fight to protect the scarelings, listening to their mournful wails as they disappeared and she regained movement. It had been frustrating to watch and know that if she'd been able to move then maybe they could have been saved. She headed over to the exit then where the necklace disappeared from around her neck and was placed back on the pedestal.
Fail.

Imryn didn't want to give up however and waited there in the main room until another niche appeared before her. She took a few moments to compose herself before heading in to where the pedestal was, seeing that this time a ruby bangle lay there. At least she wouldn't have to watch the scarelings being attacked again, so on went the bangle.
Once it was on, the floor below her gave way... or so she thought. taking a closer look revealed that there was now a maze beneath her and there was some invisible force keeping her from being able to reach the ground below. There seemed to be a small shadow creature there at the beginning and it didn't make much sense as to what was to come next. A little frustrated, imryn began idling rubbing a claw over the ruby, which in turn made the little shade move back and forth. After putting two and two together, she guided the little shade carefully through the course and safely out the other side.
Well at least that was a bonus for today, she thought as she headed back out of the room.
Succeed. +2
