final trial

[After a harrowing couple of hours, some illuminating discoveries, a couple of new allies, and a couple of new injuries, eventually Garfield's warning comes to mind. Shit's popping off. And now that you've got all of the ritual components (minus the hammer which, well, you have its owner), it might be time to return to the trial room and see if you can do something about it.

Reconvene in the Great Hall and make your way upstairs.]

[ There's a pause. ]

The creature before us is some kind of wretched thing, so it could have some kind of holy weakness like what one of those books talked about.

[ Getting to the thing is the problem, though. ]

... I can use my ring to make holy water if we can find - or create - some water. I don't know how much it's able to produce, but it might be worth a try.

[Other than that, he's... really got nothing here.]
