[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7365269, member: 6777052"] She turned, slowly, to face her comrades and… was just in time to see Od's hat floating away down the river of boiling acid. Of Od, Sam, Nord and Herewulf there was no sign but the acid was slightly discoloured in places, in a vaguely unsettling way. Snappy/Sbk regarded her gravely. "You have [i]chosen[/i]," he said without a trace of a grin. "Henceforth, as one of the [i]Chosen[/i] ones, you have the free will that you have so elequently asked for. But free will comes at a price and your companions have paid it for you. They are gone. You, only, remain. After I leave you here, none of the gods will move to aid or hinder you in any way as you live out your mortal life. You may wish to become a hermit for a while but that is for you to decide." And with that, Jeleneth was utterly alone.
