FORGE

[livestage]

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

[ A phone sits on the ground next to the heart box. There are only two numbers programmed in: one for the Dame and the other for the Demiurge.

You can call them if you’d like. Or perhaps they’ll call you? ]

I'm afraid I don't know anyone very well at all...

What's something that would cut the list down by at least half?

[Delicately putting the phone back where it belongs.]

The answer is "no". That narrows things down!

Do we try for more letters or ask if our sacrifice is in this room...
