947 Guard Victory

It was fifteen very long minutes before the first guard came back, looking embarrassed under the gaze of all the surrounding Nobles.

"Right, then. I'll just go back in there and get to work." He mumbled, then walked into the portal as if it were a closed door, giving himself a bloody nose in the process.

"Once you have been defeated in the trial, you're done for the day. I'm not certain how long it takes to reset, but teamwork is essential because you can't rejoin the group." Wolfe explained.

The Nobles made both mental and physical notes of that, as it ruled out sacrifice tactics in questionable situations. If the members were sent back to be healed and return, that would have become a valid tactic for them.

"How long does the trial usually take?" One of the Nobles asked as the time passed and no more of their members were ejected.

"Usually around two hours. I can make us some chairs if we're tired of waiting." Wolfe offered.
