Nightmare's Edge

Each step toward the Corrupter distorts the world further. Yes, reality was originally written using Their body as source material... Now, They can twist it... Your forward path becomes a maze between reality and illusion, revealing bizarre fangs and tendrils... Hatred, weakness, ignorance, anguish, confusion - all negative emotions in your hearts form this prison.

Extra

Testing Grounds
First, hatred's thorns that hunger for flesh; behind them looms a sealed door painted with countless fools' entanglements... blocked by a massive boulder - a cowardly giant clutching its head. Beyond, darkness churns like fog, awaiting your arrival...
Pruning
Maggie produces golden shears from nowhere - no matter how fierce the thorns, all are severed cleanly and wither away... As effortless as tending her garden at home, you pass this first trial.

Conditions:

Harmony
Faris studies briefly, testing with his staff, quickly grasping these living thorns' nature.

He shows you how to free entangled bodies by moving with the thorns' growth pattern, or offering them soft leather strips to play with... "Simple as handling dogs," he explains: "Never snatch from a dog's mouth - feed it gently and they'll release willingly."

Conditions:

Resilience
When the first thorn bundle ensnares Jalila... you discover her skin gleams like diamond. Ignoring the sharp barbs, she becomes your vanguard, clearing every obstacle - what indomitable spirit!

Conditions:

Endless Spite
Like hatred itself, these thorns burrow deep and spawn more thorns, eventually piercing your bodies completely. You swing blades, kindle fires, battle desperately... yet become hatred's fertile ground... The corrupted nightmare imprisons you eternally... Even as the world dies, you remain trapped in this suffering dream.

Conditions:

Action:

Rising Above
[s1.name] turns inward, stepping deliberately into the thorn maze. These barbs may wound [s1.gender(his,her)] flesh and tear [s1.gender(his,her)] garments, yet cannot halt [s1.gender(his,her)] advance... As if losing their purpose, the thorns curl weakly... opening a path through this dreamscape.

Conditions:

Conditions:

Encouragement
Nabhani doesn't even touch that door-blocking boulder... he wouldn't stoop to such manual labor! Simply whispering in the stone giant's ear makes it leap up excitedly, laugh three times, and bound toward the horizon... Perhaps it too has found its own tale to pursue.

Conditions:

Distraction
Nayla sweet-talks the rock giant at length... even baring one breast, finally convincing it she burns with desire to admire its mighty form below! Naturally, once the stone giant falls for her ruse, standing and spreading its legs, Nayla strikes with her whip... Now the doorway stands clear - time for clever hands to work the lock!

Conditions:

Futile Resistance
Like confronting fate itself, the harder you struggle, the heavier and more immovable that rock giant becomes... The corrupted nightmare imprisons you eternally... Even as the world dies, you remain trapped in this suffering dream.

Conditions:

Action:

Inner Strength
Brute force cannot budge this boulder... yet this certainly isn't [s2.name]'s first triumph over failure! Each time [s2.name] rallies, reconsidering how to apply force, the stone giant shrinks slightly.

Eventually, it poses no obstacle at all, though [s2.name] carries it along as a traveling companion.

Conditions:

Destiny's Key
Before you stands a mirror-door bearing countless uneven, spinning wheels that reflect one's entire existence... its mystery as unfathomable as life itself... Who truly understands their own journey?

Shama hesitates momentarily, then suddenly produces a large key from her crotch, fitting it perfectly to unlock this portal... Unfortunately, though she tries to leave the key behind, a chain yanks it back into her trousers.

Conditions:

Pros and Cons
Before you stands a mirror-door bearing countless uneven, spinning wheels that reflect one's entire existence... its mystery as unfathomable as life itself... Who truly understands their own journey?

Jawad knows how to open doors, yet agonizes over the gleaming coin in his palm... Finally, this miser makes his gamble for the world's sake.

Conditions:

Life's Chef
Before you stands a mirror-door bearing countless uneven, spinning wheels that reflect one's entire existence... its mystery as unfathomable as life itself... Who truly understands their own journey?

For a cook, however, this poses no challenge. Whatever he encounters, his task remains the same: blend, create, work with whatever ingredients he receives... Habib simply adjusts the door's wheels briefly, and everything opens.

Conditions:

Blind to Truth
Before you stands a mirror-door bearing countless uneven, spinning wheels that reflect one's entire existence... its mystery as unfathomable as life itself... Who truly understands their own journey?

The more you spin those wheels, the more distorted and bizarre their reflections become... The corrupted nightmare imprisons you eternally... Even as the world dies, you remain trapped in this suffering dream.

Conditions:

Action:

Clear Vision
Before you stands a mirror-door bearing countless uneven, spinning wheels that reflect one's entire existence... its mystery as unfathomable as life itself... Who truly understands their own journey?

Yet [s3.name] knows that regardless of how many wheels can be turned, only one mirror shows truth, reflecting genuine self-image... [s3.gender] finds that reflection, presses gently, and the door opens.

Conditions:

Ingenious Crossing
Beyond the door spreads a vast bog. Dismal clouds hover above while bubbles of misery churn through black mire... Simply thinking unhappy thoughts will drag you down - seems easy enough, right? Yet this swamp stretches as far as life itself!

Even so, Mahir finds endless amusement in the process... She builds boats, crafts stilts and floating shoes... She insists on accompanying everyone using her inventions, eager to make multiple crossings!

Beyond the door spreads a vast bog. Dismal clouds hover above while bubbles of misery churn through black mire... Simply thinking unhappy thoughts will drag you down - seems easy enough, right? Yet this swamp stretches as far as life itself!

Even so, each time Jabal sinks down, he bursts back up... Covered in mud yet somehow delighted! Finally, he ropes a log, carries everyone aboard, and leads war-chants... messily crossing this swamp in triumph.

Conditions:

Despair
Beyond the door spreads a vast bog. Dismal clouds hover above while bubbles of misery churn through black mire... Simply thinking unhappy thoughts will drag you down - seems easy enough, right? Yet this swamp stretches as far as life itself!

Momentary despair traps the entire party in quicksand, beyond rescue... The corrupted nightmare imprisons you eternally... Even as the world dies, you remain trapped in this suffering dream.

Conditions:

Action:

Path to Focus
Beyond the door spreads a vast bog. Dismal clouds hover above while bubbles of misery churn through black mire... Simply thinking unhappy thoughts will drag you down - seems easy enough, right? Yet this swamp stretches as far as life itself!
