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!
When your character wakes in their allotted Trial, they will discover that their starting chamber has been inscribed with the name of the Trial, the names of those participating, and the number of deaths they have remaining - though the latter aren't labeled in any way. You'll simply have to learn it the hard way; every time your character suffers a death, the number will go down by one. If it wasn't obvious what those numbers stood for at first, by the time the dying starts properly, it certainly will be. And you probably don't want to see it go all the way down to zero...
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.
There is a top-level below, if you're intrigued! Though if you end up top-leveling yourself, we may very well reach out and find you anyway...

It's just-- it has to be involved, it can't just be "walk past it", and if it is it's an asshole! What does it fucking gain from doing this to us! It's crap and you know it, don't sit here and tell me this is just okay.

Way I see it, there're two options. First: Hittin' that damn thing will open the door over yonder, in which case we'll be back te beat on it later. Second: Hittin' that damn thing'll jes kill us in some excitin' way it hasn't managed to yet. Maybe toxic gas? This ain't okay, but everythin' we've just sloged through has needed us all te slow the hell down and think about it. Impulse is what's gettin' us killed, and I swear to every single one've the Twelve, if I have te sit on those damn switches again, I'm killin' all of ye meself.

Beau screws up her face into a glare and a scowl at the same time, hands clenched straight next to her. No one's realizing the problem here, the absolute insult of it all. It has the gal to do all of this and mock them for it. It's exactly the thing the monks always did to her, it's exactly the thing her parents did to her, it's everything that's ever been done to her through her whole life.
So she doesn't hit it. Right now. But what she does do is shove Castor, not hard enough to knock them over, but enough to know she meant it.]
Don't fucking threaten me.
