Default Challenge Three

The Department of Mysteries
Hosted by: Becky


As you walk onto this level, there are tables lined up with five glowing prophecies by the exit area. On the tables, there are five pieces of parchment with each prophecy written on them. They attract your attention because a light shines directly onto them.

SPOILER!!: First piece of parchment
The one who lives life as a lie will become the truth maker. He will lead the chosen one to battle with the weapon he needs, but lose himself along the way. His soul will live forever in the hearts of those faithful.


SPOILER!!: Second piece of parchment
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives


SPOILER!!: Third piece of parchment
The one who waits will be waited on. Marriage comes to this most faithful person after a time of solitude. Ask not where this faithful one has been, but understand the reasons why they were gone.


SPOILER!!: Fourth piece of parchment
This is the one who lives a condemned life. The love of the condemned one will be an inspiration to all who know. But paw-prints in the sand must fade one day and that day will be a dark day indeed.


SPOILER!!: Fifth piece of parchment
The one who served her time will be searched for by many. Solitude is a foe of this successful woman. Console her not, but ask probe into her life to find the answers you seek.


Becca then steps into the light and explains "There are five prophecies before you. What has been recorded from them is also in front of you. Study the records carefully and narrow it down to the Minister's prophecy. To do this, you must look at each line and word carefully and see if it relates to the Minister. Some will be obvious, some not so, but use your mind and powers of deduction. If you're still unsure, look to the planets for help." she gestures to the side of the room where there's a small arrangement of planets.

"The planets will give you two numbers, one of which is wrong, and the other is right. If you ask, I can give you one sentence that will have two planets in it, and each of those planets has a number. There is a diagram of how the planets should look with numbers written above each planet on parchment at your table because to work with the Planets, you should all have this basic knowledge." Becca looked around. "Now, to understand which planets you get the numbers from, you must see which planet does not look like it should, which is shown on the diagram - Study the diagram, learn it, it might help you in the future. Maybe it's colour is slightly different, or it's not in the right place. Then you need to find out the number written above your planet."

"When you get your two numbers, you must look at your prophecy recordings again and the numbers in the corner of your parchment will point out a number from one to five. When you have your two numbers and prophecised records, the other records can be forgotten." She smiled warmly at everyone. "You must then use your common sense to progress. I'm here if you need help."

SPOILER!!: Planets
Planets normally:


What's different?


OOC: To pass this level, you must decide which prophecy is Reagan Taylor's. Make it interesting, have fun with the prophecies and deciphering the planets to get numbers. Drag it out a bit if you want, I'll happily RP with you to make it more fun and remember, not everyone is going to be good at this! When you've decided on a prophecy, you may state it misleadingly in your post to make it harder for others, but PM me your actual answer for the level and see if you get through or not! Just remember this, you cannot pass this challenge unless you have posted at least twice in the thread.

Your character's responses and deductions (Misleading or correct) should be role played and posted in this thread. PM your actual answer for this challenge to me. (Becky).

I reserve the right to move prophecies around
