Hel, Derek, Daniel, Hook, and Bo(?). Have all successfully completed their trials. Thanks to a combination of the ridiculously long times it took for Daniel's and Hook's trials, it's now early morning. It's time for the last trials to be completed...or failed. The festival is carrying on with breakfast, which fresh full breakfasts for all the people staying and waiting for their friends.
[Mission:Morning threads! Trials!]
Werd to your mother. We got Bo, Clara and Hook left to go for tributing. But Daniel's not out yet so sit on your fat butts and wait.
Back in town, it's like, 1am or something. Go hang out in a bar or wait for your buddies by the door. Or sleep. In the inn. Where you have free rooms. Same deal, diff post.
[mission: trials! night time threads! still]
Holla. The temple is ready for its next tribute. Figure out who's up next and send them on in.
In the meantime, the town the rest of the party is at is still in the middle of sleepytime. It's only been a few hours since the party reached the temple and Hel completed her trial. There's an inn that's open late and allowing the party to stay free of charge during the trial and harvest festival...festivities. But don't expect to chat up any locals cus it's like 11pm.

The temple entrance is in fact not a tower sorry about it. Moss has grown over it and it looks perfectly decrepit. Once the party enters, there is a large weathered stone room fitted with old steel chairs and what seems like the remains of a fire pit, perhaps the remnants of parties past. There is an iron gate at the north of the room, a plaque adorning the wall next to it.You've entered the temple Ninurta,The gate opens of its own accord once a person approaches. If more than one approaches the gate, it will promptly slam shut. Figure out who you're sending in first, and the rest of you have a stressful tea party while you hope they don't die and leave you stranded.
only one may enter at this time
only once one is finished
can the next adventurer enter
to find that which is to be found
you must give what is to be given
seek a path that will lead you out
or stay with Ninurta for all time
[mission: one person go into the temple, everyone else wait in your waiting room. the party that's not in the temple, you're following the long road around to meet them at the other side of the forest. walking threads!!]
So you've been told to put forth your fairest to enter the forest, clearly that's not all of you, so I hope you decided who is going to go. The gate will only open once and only allow a set amount of people in to finish the quest. It's a bit of a journey to the forest temple, so don't think this will be a day in and day out endeavor. Bring what you need and get all your 'good luck's in before you set off.
[Mission:Dont fuck it up. Get to the temple. The rest of you can eat cheese or take the road around.]
You've been granted stay in the village for the night once festivities have died down. All the garlands that weren't wasted on your sorry asses were left to be hung on the grand gate protecting the forest. In the night you hear the colossal trees crack and groan, but none seem too worried about the ominous noises. The forest seems to be very integral to the people here, so feel free to ask them about it.
[Mission: Rest up and ready to leave in the morning]
It's just about a day and a half more of a journey through the farmlands until you reach a small village at the tail end of a very ancient looking forest. A very tall vine riddled wall lines the forest edge with only a grand opening at the road beyond the village. There is another road that deviates around the wall, but the map is telling you to go in. There's no name for the place, only a strange symbol in golden ink. Might be important. I dunno.
Anyway, the village is beaming with festivity over their bountiful recent harvest. You are more than welcome to join them while you figure out if you want to send in the whole brigade into the forest or decide to take the way around.
