Title: Empath
Role Type: Passive
Win Condition: You win if you, or any players who share your win condition:
- Obtain an item from releasing all of the four guardians (Cassandra, Daedalus, Minos, Virgil)
- Obtain the sword of Theseus
- And bring those items to Willis' tower

Role Flavour:
People think you're strange and dislike being around you, but they don't know the reality you face every day. Scenes of disaster and chaos enthrall you because of your gift. You aren't just aware of the suffering faced by others, you actually feel it all the time. Sometimes it's easier for you to not be around others lest it start again.

Role Description:
If a player is injured or killed in the Labyrinth, you will feel their pain.

So basically I'll know every time someone dies or is injured but not who it is?

That's right.

Didn't know where else to put this.

(Paul, is there a no smiley option?)

There isn't for the time being but it's something I should work on.

The one they call Angela... It will only apply to whichever time you currently find yourself in. I'll ask Willis to confirm this for you, just in case.

This is correct.

Phase 4 Results:
You're sitting enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of the past when suddenly something hits you from a great and far off distance. You clutch your head as the pain begins to grow in intensity. It feels like your brain is collapsing in on itself.

Holding on hard and tight as the pain seeps through, you breathe deeply in hope of it finally dissipating. You feel yourself falling and finally the pain fades away along with all other feelings.

Isn't Talion in the other group? :O

He was.

Phase 5 Results:
Something reaches out to you. It's faint...on the edge of hearing. Everybody else falls silent as you listen. The voice in your head repeats.

"Can anyone hear me? Hello?"

Phase 7 Results:
You glance into the murky waters and speak out the room number from your thoughts. You look on as the pattern on the water changes and dances. It swirls and twists into a dark shape but finally, it comes to rest. You saw no image of a room.

Phase 7 Results:
You glance down at your body. It's happening again. You wince as you know what to expect next. Closing your eyes and bracing yourself, you get ready for the sensation.

There's a shockwave that emanates through your body. It's quite painful but the feeling of that dies down rather quickly. But there's another pain that causes you to stumble a little. This pain is emanating from your leg. It's quite severe. You grit your teeth and bear it. And you wait slowly.

But the pain does not subside.

Phase 7 Results:
Once again the room noise turns to static, your head falls heavy and a strange but definite voice speaks out.

I am starting to see you more and more. The fog is clearing. Why did you type in those numbers about my old room? I am seeing limited words from your posts, please speak! Tell me who you are! Where are you? Give me something.

Phase 8 Results:
You take a deep breath as you feel the familiar sensation. Something is coming and it won't be pretty. You already have Eleanor's pain to look forward to and now...this...

You suddenly feel your body jolted around in all directions. The bashing and the slamming is intense. You're feeling sick but the pain...the pain is indescribable.

It holds fire momentarily as you breathe out...carefully. And then comes the rush.

You feel your entire body compress into the smallest space imaginable. Your ribs snap...your bones crush...it's excruciating. But you know it's not actually happening. You look down just to make sure because it feels so real. Finally there's some kind of release and it all just dies away. Nothing but the dull ache you felt before.

Phase 8 Results:
You feel an unpleasant sensation enter you from the head down. Your body begins to convulse and shake uncontrollably and you feel the most tremendous pressure in your head. There are aches and pains all around you but slowly they subside and the pain disappears completely.

Phase 10 Results:
You rub your shoulder miserably. Why doesn't anybody ever die around here? You resign yourself to the immense pain for a little while longer.

Phase 11:
You don't remember what happened. Did you...did you all go through the Western exit like you planned? That seemed like the right thing to do.

Everything in here is dark. You're dead...aren't you? It was bound to happen sooner or later but it wasn't meant to feel like this. At least it didn't hurt....you don't think. You can't really remember. You recall Balagor going on about doing something useful and the business with the skeleton and....

Balagor defintely went towards the door. And then he opened it and said the room was completely empty. And...had you followed him? You really can't remember.

What had killed you? Shouldn't you at least know?

Suddenly a light came on. Was this the final passage? It was illuminating a small, confined corridor. Along the walls were a number of mirrors. At least...they looked like mirrors. You peered into one but you couldn't see your own face. You saw the face of one of your group.

What...what was this?

"Are you comfortable? Sorry about the delay. I think it's about time we got started, don't you?"

You glance up but there's no sign of the source of the voice.

"It can be a bit disorienting at first. But things will get a lot worse before they get better. First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Willis. You decided to intrude upon my Labyrinth and I can assure you, I won't be leaving. Neither as it happens, will you."

So..maybe you aren't dead after all. You stand upright slowly and walk to another mirror. Another face in there...not yours. Your reflection is of somebody completely different. This is really unsettling.

"The task at hand is simple. One of your party will meet their unfortunate and final end whilst completing it though. How terribly tragic for you."

You turn around and see another mirror. This one has your reflection in it.

"These mirrors are portals. If you step through any of them, you will be taken to the person in the reflection. Nobody wants to be alone, especially in this place."

"There's a slight catch though. All of your party are also having to choose a mirror. Things will go very well for you provided just one person steps through the mirror that depicts you. But if they don't...I'm afraid that nothing can protect you. There's a very real chance you will die."

Death? Is there no other way?

"There is another way. Sometimes you cannot rely on others. But you can always trust yourself, can't you? One of the mirrors bears your own reflection. Step through the mirror and you will be protected. You will also be alone. You will come out into the room and you will choose an exit as ever, but you will do so entirely independently of your party. Will you all choose the same path? Maybe. If you choose this path, you will be saved from death. You will certainly not die...yet."

This was confusing. You glance along the corridor and see one final mirror at the end. It's nothing but inky blackness.

"The third and final option is the darkness. If you can't rely on your friends or yourself then rely on the unknown. Be brave and wait to see what lies beyond. Maybe it will be better for you, maybe it will be worse for you. It won't kill you the second you pass into it, and that is all I can promise. Think carefully now."

The voice disappeared and you were left alone with nothing but mirrors and a headache.

Choose one of the following mirrors to step into:
Angela
Boone
Brie
Eleanor
Emperor Fong
Ezra
Frederick
Kane
Mark
Origo
Pai Chan
Parker
Sr. Culo
Stonehard Lee
Thomas
Urk
Walton
Wilt
?????

You look on as glass shatters into the room around you. What...what was that?

You look at the mirrors and realise that Genevieve's is gone.

You can no longer choose Genevieve
