final trial

[arsholes]

[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.]

Patchouli-san!

[runs to catch her and fall over]

[sunshade]

[ She's a hundred pounds at most but only marginally smaller than her....ganba, Mei. ]

Oh-- [ she wheezes a little ] --that's going to be a bruise tomorrow...

[spitessier]

There's no time for resting, but if you need a break I'll do what I can to keep you safe.

[That was quite the slap on a glass cannon, my]

[sunshade]

Just a moment....

[ This is super not the time for an asthma flareup. She rests on the ground for a minute or two and breathes in deeply, slowly, calming herself. It's a miracle she's still breathing at all. If she wasn't wearing that health amulet, she might be out cold right now.

After a short bit, though, Patchouli gets to her feet. ]

...the next ward. Which is it?

[spitessier]

Over there.

[Katsuya points her at the next ward and artifact to destroy]

Keep up the good work.

[Having made sure she wasn't going to collapse, Katsuya moves to return to fighting the giant skeleton]

[Maybe not re: those bruises, Patchy.

Just a scant few seconds after she settles on the ground to catch her breath, she feels a blossoming, comfortable warmth against her back. The aches in her body ease and then cease almost immediately.]

[sunshade]

[ She jolts at the sudden contact, but once she realizes what's happening, she goes still. ]

...I don't know which one of you did that, but you have my thanks.

[ she is but a mass of tissue paper with legs......... ]

Bruno-san says... something! Sorry, I never took Spanish.

[She's helping!]
