Asmodeus' heart dropped like a ton of bricks, like his jaw. Despite it, he put on a brave face, and spouted another comment.
"Did you not like the comment about how cliche it was? I'm sorry, but I bet you have plenty of other skills, like pillaging, raping and slaughter."
Find a way out. If there is no way out, look around and try to see anything that was missed upon first glance. Then, examine the pentagram.

"You damnable fools." Vara says, "I told you this was what was going to happen.  Now I have to deal with you hacking and coughing until you die, probably infecting the rest of us."

Stay away from the infected, sliding along the wall, move to the book on the wall, hopefully that can help, some how.  Make sure not to accidentally open the door.

Name: Vara Meadowbreeze
Gender: Female
Weapon of Choice: Polearms
Short description of your appearance:  Vara is an elf of slender form.  Her long white hair is held back by a silver headband and reaches halfway down her back.  She seems easy of temperament and lax in discipline.  She is wearing green and purple armor of leather with a gleaming blue gem embedded between her breasts and a second embedded at the same height on the small of her back.  The chest and shoulder pieces are a dark purple while everything else is a dark green.  Her skin is pale and flawless.

"I don't think we can back out of this if we want to proceed. I don't think we have much time left, though. Sooner or later we'll be out of energy.
How high are our chances to get the book on the shelf and escape alive to read it? It could be key."

OOC strategy talk: No, really. We probably can't run away from this anymore - next turn will tell - so it might be best to face this head-on.
Order of the riders in the Bible was War - Pestilence - Hunger - Death, IIRC, but this might not help us. The thing that might be key, now, is the pentagram. Is it there because we need to put something in it - such as the books - or is it there because it will summon War? In that case, them following the order is quite likely, with the Pentagram rotating through the rooms.

[Caellath]

Run out, closing the door once everyone's out. Unless Tala's screwed, then just close the door on her.

((If you cause Tala's death, then Asbes is "accidentally" summoning his S-Rank Innocentius on Arnok using the Amulet of Overbearing.

With love, Caellath.))

"Well...Let's hope we don't die so soon." Asbes said before breathing in and moving to take the book.

Take the book but do not read it, then move back one room, back to the one with three doors.

((@Errol: I'm trying to take the book then we get back to the last room. I think we're boned anyway.))

Short description of your appearance: Young-looking and thin, with light brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes. He usually looks meek and calm, sometimes acting like a dog who has been kicked around too much. He wears thick mage robes colored white and light blue; with some effort it is possible to see stitch marks in one of the extra cloaks, as if the damaged clothing has been carefully maintained for several years already. The rest of the clothing, though, seems recently-obtained or sewn.

((If you cause Tala's death, then Asbes is "accidentally" summoning his S-Rank Innocentius on Arnok using the Amulet of Overbearing.

((Hey, if she dies, it won't be my fault. If the GM says she's screwed, then the door closes. If not, it stays open and she can come out to infect the rest of us. She's only going to be stuck in there if it becomes fatal quickly and it's contagious.))

((Talked to the GM over IRC. He confirmed you are just trying to kill her, actually. The "feeling sick" part is also apparently for all the players in the same room as hers, so closing the door on her is the same as nothing, it is environmental. But enough of OOC chatter, let's wait for IC action. :3))

[Tiruin]

((I don't even.
What the fu-
...

Damn. Thanks GSF.))

Tala gripped her spear as she tried to stand back up, her body wracked with pain and annoyance at the sudden onset of disease.

"Vara, excuse my immodesty. But we're all afflicted!" she glared at her teammate's sudden shift of action, "You thought that we would be selfish enough to serve ourselves instead of everyone else? Is everyone this cynical?!

"Ugh, no matter. Forgive me, stress hasn't been kindly to me. Gather up what you can, explore what else lies forth. We chose this path, we suffer it's consequences."

Description of your appearance: Standing at the height of 5'3", Tala is a young woman with a tanned complexion and a lean body, lithe in appearance and seemingly built for flexibility and movement. She has long black hair, falling to her shoulders and dark brown eyes. A brown curved symbol, somehow resembling a fork, lies under her left eye crossing over the cheekbone.

Seeing Arnok's apparent decision through his voice, Tala just sighed. This seemed to be becoming a typical attitude of self-preservation.

"Oh Arnok, my knight in shining armor..."

[Errol]

Move back into the hexagon room, open another door and look what that room has in store.

We already opened the nasty surprise room, right?

"Pestilence to my bloody f-"

Tala restrained herself before it went too far. Sure, the stress was piling up, and she decided to blame Vara for it, but this was unbecoming of her nature.

She made a mental note to apologize to Vara later after taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"Fight me over what, voice? My life for...what?"

Examine room, then brace self for a war of minute epic proportions!
