final QUEST PROGRESS for the night
The brave(?) few who have volunteered to injest the berries say their goodbyes and prepare themselves.
INJESTOR POINT OF VIEW
The berries have a rough, bitter shell, and once bit into they release a disproportionate amount of metallic-tasting juice. In seconds you can feel them taking effect; your mind begins to cross over. Your vision blurrs with the sight of swarming insects and squirming brambles, and you feel weightless, like you are slowly lifting off the ground. You get the strange feeling that more than your mind has crossed the veil...
(BLACKOUT)
when your vision returns you find yourself in a glade much like the one you left, baring a few details... for one, the corpse is gone, as are any allies who did not injest the fruit. Looking around, you see that the trees above you are now covered in shimmering, orange leaves, and every branch has hallucination fruit dangling from it. Farther up you see the sky... it is the colour of sunset, though ocassionally faint lightning bolts tear across it. In the distance you can see storms of purple wind menacing the landscape.
SUPERVISOR POINT OF VIEW
Those fools, so eagre to try any new thrill. You watch with slight distain as they choke on the berries' potent taste, and then lose themselves under its influence. They become giddy, their faces devoid of intelligence. They start teetering back and forth, losing their balance.
Then one of them loses his footing, and begins to rise from the ground. He becomes lighter, and at the same time transparent. As his body turns to smoke, all traces of him fade away into the treetops. Before you can react, the same thing happens to all the other injestors... Where have they gone?!
END SESSION FOR TONIGHT
Gee, cliffhanger much
