She inserted the small nail into the gap between the trapdoor. "There. The pitfall trap should be defused now...but for safety reasons, you might want to cross one person at a time."
Moving steadily and safely because of the thief, Rei moved deeper and deeper into the Sanctuary...

All of a sudden-
TWANG!
"-ngh!" An arrow, painted black, shot from nowhere! It grazes Rei on his thigh. "Rei! Are you OK?"
After examining his wound, he nodded. "Just a scratch. But why? We didn't trip anything?"
"No...we did touch something. The door! It act like a timer-if we took long enough the traps will activate even if we didn't touch anything!!!"
Thus, the party rushed their way in.

Spears. Circular saws. Pitfalls. Arrows. More arrows.
They rushed their way deeper and deeper, being grazed all over from the close shave-
And they all did a sliding dive before the door shuts behind them.
Thankfully, it seems there's no one who injured too badly.
They continued their exploration.

The Gauntlet pt 3 - Mystic Tiles Starting/Current HP: 50 Ending HP: [Recover All] = 60 The rolls:
[1] The tile you step on gives way under your feet... and nothing happens. [2] As you step on this tile, something wet sprinkles on you from above. Whatever it was, you feel better. Recover 15 HP. [3] A tower of flame shoots up from the tile, badly burning you. Take 10 damage. [4] CLANG! Something hard and heavy falls from the ceiling. You forget something. [5] You activate a trap. Take 5 damage. [6] You activate a trap. Take 3 damage. [7] A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety! Nothing happens. [8] As you step onto the tile, you are filled with a feeling of... elation...? Recover all HP. [9] A companion reaches out and pulls you to safety, taking your place! Except... they're gone. Lose a companion. [10] CRUNCH. You can still hear your companion's screams of pain as they suffer heavy damage. Take 50% HP loss (ie if you are 30/40, take 15 damage).
They reached the next room. It was a large, empty room. Except...on the floor there are tiles. From the symbol on top they appeared to be---
"OH COME ON! Another traproom?" Yelled Karst. He was a miner before, and by now his trusted pickaxe has created many bodies to be buried.
"...no. This one is far simpler then before." said Essya after inspecting the traps.
"Watch."
She randomly jumped on one tile. Nothing happened. Next tile... Something rained from above! "It stings! Is this acid or-" "-no, look. Our wounds are closing..."
Seriously, healing sprinkles? That's original.
There's also metal tub traps installed, so Rei gets a great laugh from seeing the blank faces of his companion.
Either way, they passed the room safely.

At last you and your companions (if any) have reached the end. The room is circular and filled with many shelves, each one containing many different kinds of goblets. There is a fountain in the middle of the room. Something tells you that you must take a goblet and drink from it. You take a step into the room, only to be stop as a shadowy javelin plants itself in the ground in front of you. Had the thrower put a bit more force into it, there's no doubt that it would have passed through you, pinning you to the ground through your midsection.
The room shakes, the treasures on the shelves rattling with each step as the Guardian strides into the light. Their head is held high, and they are already armed with another javelin to throw at you.
"HALT. YOU SHALL NOT PASS."

"Of all things-" Cursed Teels, pulling me back cautiously. Every one on the group readied their own weapon when the large Guardian made his appearance.
"A Guardian of old. Said to be part magic and part alchemy." Said Louwei: he's a retired (no, actually he ran away from some country's King) sage, brandishing his staff. "The last boss, eh? This makes me blood boils!" Shouted Heidds, as he swung his large weapon.
"On the count of three-"
"FOUR!"
With that shout, all of us jumped for attack!

The battle was a total mess. Clangs from when metal meets metal. Grunts when strength is exhausted for a swing. Shrieks when a mortal wound is avoided.
All things are melding into one, complicated dance of life and death.

"Watch out!!!" A wild swing almost claimed his head.
He looked around. Most of them are already tired from all those side-adventures, and spending two days horseback didn't help either.
Did this memory ended in their failure? Rei asked himself, and looked around.
No.
There's still flames burning in their eyes. With their goal right behind this final obstacle, they cannot lose.
Rei lets his consciousness mix with the memory's owner.
He became something even greater. If this 'journey' recorded in fabricated memories are simply a movie- Now he took control of the player character. And in turn---
Changes the final outcome!

-but in order to do that- They needed to overwhelm the opponent. Make that it cannot counter or return any blows.
They needed to organize.
"Myrk, Heidds! Retreat to the back and distract its attention by shooting the face! Louwei, know any magic to create bright light or fire? Blind it!" Rei shouted, jumping back to evade a wild swing. "Karrst, make that dent into a hole! Teels-guard me, I'm coming in!"
"What about me!?" "Essya-you're going to jump on his back and let loose ANYTHING poisonous on your bag! On the count of THREE!"

The two archers, after taking a safe distance proceeds to rain arrows on the being's face. Not too damaging, but it raises its arms to guard against-
"NOW!"
FLASH!!!
Directly on the back of the Guardian's hand was a sigil of light, conjured by the sage. Thoroughly blinded, the creature's movement dulled to the point of staggerin-
THWANG!!!
After a full-body swing, a gaping hole opened on the flank of the Guardian's armor. The others has done their job

I raised my scythe and embedded the thick edge into the gaping hole. After it reached certain depth, I pulled with all my strength!!!

The plate armor was torn into two, including whatever soft contained within.

Rei punched the metal-clad face with his bare hand. A sick 'crack' sound can be heard rather loudly---
But the contact is made, and it was all he needed.

From the inside of that being's helmet, a scythe emerged.
And it was over.

Other then the sound of panting and gasping, the final room of the sanctuary is silent.
"Did we really, really do it?" asked the archer, his hand trembling and his nail was torn from all those shooting.
I raised my head from the floor and looked at the Guardian's corpse.
"Yep." "Hurraaay." Said the thief, as cheerful as her tired voice can convey.
"Let's hold the celebration. We still have a problem here." said the Sage.
Upon hearing that, we all jumped on our feet. What is the problem???
THE GAUNTLET - PART 5
With the Guardian taken care of, you are now free to examine the shelves before you. You have made it, you are now at the chamber that holds the treasure you were after: the Grail.
As you study the shelves, you notice with growing dismay that there are many grails in varying shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. It will be a mighty task to narrow down the ideal one, the one and only Grail.
Your memory asserts itself; you can hear *****'s voice. They had told you that in order to reclaim part of what you lost you would need to drink from the Grail. "But be warned," They cautioned, "For should you choose wrong your true self will be lost to you, and you will live a lie. Go forth with a strong heart with the shades of my dearest Companions. They will lead you to your heart's desire."
So, only one of these grail is the true one... Muttered Rei, detaching his mind from the memories.
"Hey leader! You seems to be confused." Called Teels, patting my shoulder. "Eh...yes. With all of these Grails...which one is the true one?"
Yet they all smiled to me.
"? What's funny?"
"Don't tell us you forgot! Each of us seven...well, now six- are the Grail's chosen. It means we can distinguish the true Grail from within these fakes!" Said the sage. "-and we all did this so the Grail can choose a new master. A new King to be throned." said the archer.
"Here, catch!" said the thief, already climbing on the shelves. "WHOA!"
I caught the glittering cup with both hands, careful so it would not break.
"Go on. Drink from that Grail. Make the prophecy true. Fulfill your destiny-"
"Be our King. A gentle king. A mighty king. A lawful king. But for the most-"
"Greater than anyone that have passed or yet to come. A True King. A Great King!"
I raised my hands, dipping the goblet into the fountain, scooping up some water.
It was very clear and cool.
"Before I drink this...let me say something."
I paused.
"Each and every of you have done your task very well. The first thing that I'll do after I've become a King is knighting you guys."
Several gasps can be heard. "Are you serious? We aren't noble-birth or anything near that! Heck, have you ever heard a FEMALE knight which specializes in BURGLAR?"
Sounds of laughter filled the air. "No. no. no. You will answer to no one, me included. With all my due respect, all of you have exhibited things that I don't have. Knowledge, Skill, Dexterity..."
"-you outrun us by far in Courage, though."
"No comment on that. So! The reason I will be knighting you all is so you can guide me to become a great king-as you all wanted me to be. A king who serve people instead of wanting to be served. A king that can mingle with his people without regarding birth or status. A king loved by his people; that's the king I'm inspiring to be."
With that, I raised the Grail once again. "All for one; and one for all!!!"
I drunk the contents of the goblet greedily. As the cool, almost sweet water passed my throat, something awoke in me.
Choice=1
...you have chosen wisely. As the cool liquid courses down your throat you feel something seem to shift and change within you. Something you've lost has been returned to you. You regain an ability based off of your character's faction:
gaia_diamond If you are a STUDENT: you may now turn into your character's natural form. Weapon effects and dice carry over. If your character does not have a natural form, then you instead may CREATE a natural form based off of the weapon your character has equipped. This form will be made out of Insanity, so your character will be mainly greys! Otherwise those with natural forms get them as-is without Insanity. Reapers may summon their familiar/weapon, however they cannot shift into an Insanity-weapon-beast if they choose this option!
gaia_diamond If you are a HUNTER: you regain your hunter's weapon, ie your hunter can hear them again. Your Weapon's form then overrides the appearance of your Insanity-weapon, however stats/abilities will remain the same. (ie, Aria is equipped with Desperation, however with this she now wields Symphony her flamethrower and burns things instead of punching them with 2d10-8 )
gaia_diamond If you are a HORSEMAN: your currently equipped Weapon takes on the form of your character's actual weapon. In addition, you may also summon your character's mount. There is no time penalty, so yes you could keep your character's butt on their pretty pony while looking down on all the other characters for the rest of the meta if you wanted to.
Upon swallowing that cold water, the memory drifted away from Rei's head. He remembered what he is. A leftover. A soul. A ghost. A possessive spirit. A tsukumonogami. He reached to his ears, materializing the headphones which is the core of his body now.
Eventually, the healthy shade of tan in his skin are replaced by glow of compressed plasma. His heterochromic eye stays, but it now glows.
"This is me. The true me."
[Rei awakened for drinking from the Holy Grail!]
