TRIAL ROOM: ABYSS

[ It is difficult to see much here, in the darkness.

You are required to dig yourself out of the uncomfortable, poky mass you have found yourself in. And as you push and struggle to the surface, and it becomes just a little clearer to see, it becomes easy to understand the true nature of this place.

The task ahead seems easy enough - climb upwards and escape to the light, far above. But even moving is difficult, when the dead cling to you.

They don't beg or plead, because they have no voices to do it with. But their empty, broken stares are haunting - and the only way to get rid of them is to deny them, physically, verbally or mentally, and understand they can't be saved or carried out of here.

The Knight is here too, though at first they're hard to distinguish among the thousands of broken masks and bodies stretching onwards into the dark, a limitless and nightmarish pile of corpses. But right now, all they can do is shiver and wrap their cloak more tightly around them and stare, not quite understanding what it is they need to communicate.
