The Trials: Only Then Can We Begin
As noted in the OOC info post, your Trials will all begin on December 15th. As many of you will not be deposited into your trials with food and water (or any items of your own at all, in most cases), the Trials will last only as long as December 18th. If you've failed to complete your Trial by this deadline but have not used up all the deaths allotted to you, you will awaken by Maati's mana pool at the event's conclusion. If you have not failed your Trial by using up all your deaths, this will not count as a character death, and you will not need to submit for a penalty; you simply won't be able to obtain the reward you would get if you had succeeded!
Should you reach the end of your Trial, you will step out onto the rocky cliffs of Maati, exiting from one of the seven doors set into the cliffs at the seven points of the island's star shape. You see, those doors you discovered earlier weren't the entrances to the Trials at all. They were the exits. And set into the towering cliffs...why, those house the winding mazes that comprise the Trials themselves.
There will be a top-level below for each Trial. Remember to plan with your groups and communicate with your thread partners! Whether you choose to do mingle-style threads or lengthier group threads is up to you.
Once you know the outcome of your Trial, success OR failure, please do let us know so that we can ensure your character gets the reward that befits their triumph...or lackthereof.
Remember also to let us know if your character uses up ALL their deaths during this event. While death penalties will not be inflicted during Trial deaths, if you use up all the deaths allotted to you and die for real, your death penalty will NOT be reduced.

The Water: Don't Let Them Get Away
The rest of you have plenty to contend with as well, of course. If you've opted out of this month's event, be advise that the waters creeping across shores of Ensō, along with the rest of the island, aren't going to take evasion kindly. They'll seek you out, spread along every inch of the island if they can, until they can find you.

So that was the sign, is that it?
[Trials are meant to better a person. Or so it was said and he didn’t see any reason that would be a lie. Keith climbs to his feet and checks himself over. No weapons. He feels weaker and slower than normal. This gets better and better. He turns to get a look at the names. There’s the same number below each name.]
...what could the ten mean?

[Keith reaches up and touches the edge of his ear. His hearing feels less. One breath in.]
All of them.
[Trial of the patient. It feels like a slap in the face yet he can't deny he needs to work. Keith glances towards the doorway.]
Only way to find out what this is about is to check it out.

...Right. Guess we better get going. [She starts toward the doorway, then pauses.] --On second thought, if we're supposed to be 'patient' here, d'you think we're supposed to wait?
no subject
...I don't think it hurts to scout ahead. We'll just be looking for information and won't go too far.
no subject
...Alright, might as well. Let's fuckin' go for it.
no subject
He ghosts forward a few steps and scans the way ahead. No obvious weapons. He can’t see any signs or writing.]
...nothing obvious. No writing either. Might be like Storyteller’s temple?
