Now the title probably gives away what this weeks twist really is about but the concept of a corrupted geass, or a influenced spell is nothing new. But this week those who are benefiting from the corrupted geass are not the cause of the corruption.
So let’s grab a coffee, take a deep breath and stroll into tonight’s adventure!
Corrupted Geass
433WeCoGe
As the final test closed with a triumphant chorus the Voiron’s chosen score sealed their position in first place. The Party had been surrounded by more than one mishap where the team directly competing against them had their chances ripped away from them until it was just Voiron’s warriors and the party that was chosen by the Ember games themselves.
But as they watched the magic symbols converge on the wall opposite where the nobles sat and above the entrance to the Ember Vault something was odd. The final two scores that were being tallied showed that Voiron’s Chosen was in first place with a near perfect score of fifty six out of sixty. They were just mere moments from being declared winners of the games. But the respectable score for the visiting adventure party started to change.
Slowly as if in time of the beating of soaring dragon the numbers trickled upwards. Fourty, fourty one, fourty two and so the numbers continued. It paused as it caused the party to be equal to the Voiron’s champions before it continued changed to a glaring sixty. A perfect score. The arena was quiet for a moment as everyone took a collective breath before the leader board changed revealing that the Ember Games Chosen had indeed won, chosen by the Geass itself to enter the vault.
The fury, joy and confusion exploded all at once as the upset caused bags of gold to now be changing hands in ways that were not expected. Nobles erupted with fury as their chances were dashed and a call to overrule the geass was put forth. However, the geass moved onwards with its agenda and three burning diamonds appeared as motes of energy above the heads of each of the party members.
A magically enhanced voice boomed outwards as the speaker called order. “The Geass has appeared to overturn the rules and decide on its own. While we try and understand what has happened here we know what now must be done. Each dawn a mote of Ember will disappear from the heads of the Ember Games Chosen and upon the third mote disappearing it will seal the vault once more. However, Voiron’s Chosen were winning before the geass took matters into its own hands, figuratively speaking.” he paused.
“The council over these games has declared that both the Voirons Chosen and the Ember Games Chosen will enter and that both groups will be given a chance to fulfil their own and their lords, or mysterious benefactors, wishes. We wish our Anointed the very best in the dark of the Ember Vault and while we unpick the mess that the Geass has created this time we will trust in the process and make do with the best we have.”
