...don't get me wrong – I wouldn't want to "waste" Alex, no matter what, when there are NPCs available. But this option is just begging to be considered in our situation. Minus a soul, 0 intelligence, a cripple who jumped into space... I'm sure that in a "real" IRL situation, this option would be tried almost immediately, no matter how righteous the participants might be...
Castor L. Tselen said that it's "long overdue."
By the way, you guys are doing some crazy stuff. I thought it was more important to kill the cyclops. But, in principle, it doesn't matter.
Aretz is great. He missed everything, and in the end, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Are you sure that we need to cut out an eye? Maybe we should put a dragon's head there? I'm not really into this idea. Maybe just the palms of the hands?

I just imagine it like this:
Revan is sitting there and thinking:
"Hmm, what kind of difficult puzzle should I give them... Ah, I know! Let them cut out one of their companions' eyes! And let them put dragon heads on the statues. And let them sacrifice the hands of kings."
I don't think he's that cruel.
In general, I have a small suspicion that all these torture instruments are not just for show.
For example, "sweet memories." Look at the names of the stones: lust, death, despair, horror (am I wrong?). And now let's look at the priest and think about his "memories": chastity, life, hope, courage (or maybe bravery, self-confidence).
Now let's think about what other stones might be dropped from the other trials.
Darkiria
Kings demand the most important thing.
Larian
The dead crave to see the light.
Laithia
A wise man never shares his experience.
1) we need to put Alex's head there. Considering his wisdom and intelligence, he has nothing to share. But it might turn out that we get nothing.
2) we need to put someone who is really wise, and maybe he will even survive this. But I won't give up Lochen for this, and we've already used the priest for the stones.
And I still think that we need stones for all the statues. There should be things like "panic," "anxiety," "nightmare," "greed," "betrayal," and other sinful stuff, depending on the vocabulary and imagination of the GM.
Discuss?

By the way, has anyone tried putting the stones we already have into the pedestal with geometric symbols? There are some "spell slots" or something similar. Maybe we need to put them there? I can try to do this with my character, if it's my stupid idea. But what if it works?
But before I do that, I'd like to hear the thoughts of other players, at least one or two. Revan is asleep anyway and won't be writing anything yet.
