*The professor nods and anoints Vanitri with oil.*
"The third, and final, time is for what may be. Step into the arches to complete your examination."
*As Vanitri steps into the archway, he feels the now-familiar spiralling vertigo and out-of-body experience. When the world clears around him, he finds that he is in a large underground chamber with Elektra and Truman. The chamber is dominated by a central spire topped by a golden pedestal on which rests a huge glowing red gem, sparkling with light and gleaming the colour of blood. The bodies of several students lie on the floor near the spire, and Vanitri, Elektra, and Truman have gone next to it to investigate.*
"Bloody Hell!" Truman fingers his eyepatch.
"What's wrong, Truman?" Elektra asks worriedly.
"The eyepatch sees...we are not alone!"
*As if to verify Truman's statement, there is a hissing sound, and six large snakes materialise from the room's shadowy corners, encircling and surrounding them.*
(OOC: Vanitri wins initiative
The Vanitri in this fight will be the normal Vanitri with normal equipment, but at level 3. This is not just for pedantic purposes--you are going to be well past level 3 when I assign XP, so this will be the 'you' that you're going to get approved soon too. This lets you ask for judge approval early
