A Villain In A World Of Heroes

Well, They did ask to be tagged back in when the plot got going, and seeing as how it's kind of split right now, with one side guaranteeing something interesting and plot-advancing, I think that this situation would count. Does anybody else think that they'd want back in now, with the Paths option?
 
7-6 In favor of choosing our class going down the Paths of Bone. Yes, that's their name now, because I said so, and because it fits with the theme.

While I would prefer to do the timeskip for at least a week, I will not be upset if the Paths of Blood (which is what I call it in my head) win.

Vote closed, but, it won anyways so......

On another note, barring RL interference, the update will be out tonight. Soon you will *choose* your path!
Magical, Defense, Leader, Exotic, Physical
Two questions: The first, does Exotic mean "Exotic but still from earth, a la a different continent or a jungle or some other cliche thing", or does it mean "Eldritch"? The second, if I gave you a flashlight would you just be Ness?

  1. I couldn't think of an encompassing theme for that one, so I just put Exotic
  2. No. *Hiss* Get that thing away from me!
 
The Temple of The Five Paths
You go explore the forest once more, leaving the river behind. Unlike most of your other wanderings, however, you run across something fairly quickly, around half of an hour after you set out. It is a large building that seems to appear out of nowhere in front of you.

It is made out of cracked, crumbling gray stone, showing that it is apparently very old. It looks to be about fifty feet wide and twenty feet long, without any windows. It is short and squat, with rough, undecorated walls, without even a hint of faded murals or the like. In front of you is an opening leading inside, which, as far as you can tell, is the only way in. You enter, of course.

The inside is far different then the outside. First, the room you enter is in the shape of a pentagon, and there are paths leading off behind you, which should be impossible. Unlike the outside, the stone in this room looks perfectly new and pristine and has a ceiling in the shape of a dome. The ceiling at it's highest point is about five feet above you, and the room is about fifteen feet wide. There is an engraving on the floor of a pentagon inside of a circle, each point. Inside the pentagram is a star and inside the star is another pentagon and so on, until the shapes become to small for you to make out.

You entered at the flat bottom part of the first pentagon and each of the points on the pentagon lead to a different opening. These are by far the most interesting things in the room, and each opening has an arch that goes down to the floor made up of a different color. Above each opening is an engraved metal plate with a girl on it, and each plate is the same color as the opening below it. The girl on the plates looks strangely like you, with the same body shape and facial structure, except with a different artefact. You are even wearing the same clothes in most of them.

In the first engraving is red, and shows the girl holding a sword and plunging it into the heart of a furry beast. The sword is jagged, and seems to be rippling. The girl has an expression of joy an her face and she seems to be more muscular then you.

The second engraving is blue and shows the girl carrying a spellbook. She is casting spells, but whenever you blink or look away, the spell seems to change. Throwing lighting, causing floods and storms, massive fireballs, shields, and even one summoning cheese, the spells you see are many and varied.

The third engraving is pink and shows the girl wearing a ring. She is conversing with a man, who has an expression of acceptance and joy. Yet, sometimes it seems to be replaced by one of pain, but maybe that's a trick of the light

The fourth engraving is green and shows the girl wearing a dress. She is being sliced to bits by a floating sword, but seems completely fine at the same time. You are not sure how the engraving manages to show this.

The fifth and final painting is black and white instead of a solid color like the rest and you see the girl wearing a bracelet. In front of her is two identical men fighting, but also bound by chains. The chains seem to dig into the men at some areas, but are loose in others.

[X] Bracelet
I wouldn't be upset if spellbook won, but I'm guessing that bracelet is the Exotic option, and I can't make heads or tails of what it means. Animal control? The enforcement of rules? Psionics? Mirror Magic (crosses fingers)? The bracelet is the option of odd possibilities, and, just like the Wabbajack of the Elder scrolls, I cannot resist its siren call.

Speaking of, would you be willing to elaborate on where the chains seem tight or loose, @Dark Ness ? Or, even better, tell us what it means?

Think about it guys the only things we know that can kill a Hero that is not a hero is a Giant Monster. and this gives us the ability to control them. a hero might kill a giant monster but how about 10 one after the other ( to make sure conservation of ninjutsu is not in efect)
 
[X] Spellbook
I don't think so, giant monster have a 1 in 100 hundred chance of killing heroes because they aren't villians, so if a giant monster serve a villian, than it count as a villian as well
