[ phoenix absolutely is the weak bitch in the group that isn't down with murder. he actually like, jets forward to try to catch anaido, looking outright alarmed for a second -- but he misses and anaido goes down laughing. ]
[ as you do. ]
--Anaido!
[ whoops, it's too late there he goes... ]
[ but now that phoenix is near the edge, he can see all the way down, and he sees the body disappeared. ]
It was an accident-- Fuck! Fucking fuck fuck fuck oh shit, don't turn me in, oh my god, he was-- he was the only single six foot guy! Oh my god, fuck--
[Well, in that case, Magnus immediately runs over, carrying the rock, and brings it down hard against Phoenix's temple. He's strong, so that probably does it, though it is Phoenix. He can strike again to be sure and knock him into the pit.
[ it definitely takes two hits and probably being knocked into the pit to kill him, but it happens so fast he barely has time to react. ]
[ just, you know, it brings back vividly unpleasant memories of getting hit on the head and losing all his memories (at least he retains those!! and doesn't have to do a tutorial case!) and, again, well... mia. ]
[ his last thought is that it's very ironic and then phoenix wright is fucking dead. again. ]
Yeah, but-- first of all, how are you planning to kill yourself with a flamethrower? Also, that seems horrible. Coming from someone who has, uh, burnt to death. It wasn't great.
Just use a knife or something. Didn't I give you one?
I guess. Seems like a waste of a death! Anyway. Hold still, your majesty! Off with your head!
[And just, swinging his axe at his neck, trying to take his head off in one clean strike? I rolled a 12, which is probably fine with his attack modifier? Yeah.]
[Giving him a pose before the axe swings his way. It's probably fine. It's probably fine! Taako's got a real fuckin' low armor class anyway. It's not like a tie-dye shirt provides a +1 or anything.
Taako is now definitely under six feet high! Also, is Dead.]
[Magnus sits and angsts over Taako's dead body? No, it's fine, he's seen Taako die a bunch of times. Wiping his bloody axe off in his pants, and then looking around.]
Man. There's nothing cool -
[Well, he's just going to back up down the hall, do a running leap, and fling himself backwards into the pit?
. . . He hits his head against the back of the grave and cracks his skull, but with his high constitution, doesn't die. He flops down on the ground, dazed and bleeding heavily from his head, and laughs.]
And, one by one, they all wake up in the Memorial Hall. Maybe now that they're all here, it will be unlocked-
The door definitely will not open, though. They'll have an hour to kill in this creepy room, with its two clay figures, although the next time they look-- there are some objects gathered at the base of those two particular display cases.
They will find: -Two colorless gems, which will take on the representative color of whichever two take these! They have one use, and will provide medium healing (they can fix a regular, non-critical/non-fatal injury, leaving a scar behind, and can help stabilize a bigger injury but not heal it entirely.) -One candle; when lit, it will show the way toward one piece of evidence. It also has one use. -The ritual knife from the room; when used to make a cut in anything, that cut will seal itself and disappear after 20 minutes. This effect has a single use, after which it becomes just a fancy knife.
They'll instinctively know what these items do, and can split them however they want!]
[Well, they're just stuck here, alright. Sometimes you die, and get stuck in a creepy room with weird clay dolls with some people who murdered each other and you. It's fine.]
[Anaido finger-guns and grins when he sees them all appear, his attitude none the worse for wear. It's hard to see through his bangs, but there's a scar splitting down his forehead, twisting into the right side through his eyebrow. Looks exceptionally old and well-healed for the fact he only got it moments ago. He then gestures to the objects when everyone's gotten settled.]
Hey, there's some stuff here... [He's already moving towards it, plucking up a gem, which glows bright sky blue.] I guess this is all worth the trouble, right? Haha.
Extremely bloody? His face is clean though. But everything below that is now just a nice red, coming from a nice old (but clean! Thanks, Magnus, for being a friend) scar around his entire neck.]
Oh, yeah, pfft - that was an easy one.
[Looking over at the prizes . . . ?]
Ooooh, gems . . . Oh, wait, dibs on the knife! Dibs! I called it!
[It's like a 90s choker. Magnus is also extremely bloody, covered in blood from his two murders and his own suicide. He's got an ugly gash of a scar on his throat and matted blood in his hair, but he's fine?

[ as you do. ]

[ quick, push him in. ]
The body -- it's gone.

Taako just eyeballs Magnus and the rock.]
Do not fucking brain me with the rock.
[Pulling his hat tighter on his head for a second, while he thinks it over.]
. . . Just behead me real quick or something.

Magnus Burnsides is dead.]
