Question.

Or, um. Query, if you will.


Why do we have the death toll?

Does it teach us anything? Don't go doing what you do or you'll get punished for it? And why a week's worth of suffering? Doesn't death make you suffer enough? I hear it can be painful.


Why just...not have a death toll? Can any, um.

Is there anyone else on board who can stop a death toll from happening?

Just.

Just curious.

Maybe the death toll is just there to make sure we don't take advantage of the fact that we can't permanently die here?

I've only been able to temporarily hold off the effects of the death toll on myself, not stop it. But it's quite exhausting afterwards. Using the Light usually isn't so draining.

The Light? What does the Light do?

[bybloodandhonor]

The Light empowers me, supplementing my strength and abilities by granting me a sort of... divine magic. I drew on it to increase my endurance and continue on through the pain.

[deadly_ned]

So you're super endurable?

[bybloodandhonor]

Ah, I suppose so?

[deadly_ned]

That must be convenient for the barge.
