DM: The BBEG begins chanting again. He slices the dagger across the back of his hand and lets his blood run over the wooden eye. The townsfolk start to groan again.
Lyra (playing Hesty): I wonder... Could I try to take the eye off him?
M (playing WA): *eyes light up* God, yes. I was thinking about putting out his candle, but that's even better.
DM: You don't need to make a check to put out the candle, you can just snuff it.
M: I do that, then.
DM: BBEG snarls with displeasure.
Lyra: I make a grab for the eye.
DM: You miss, unfortunately.
M: I also want to grab for the eye.
DM: As he leans away from Hesty, you reach up and snatch it from his hands.
M: Yes! Now what?
Adam (playing Harriet): Throw it to me!
Hamish (playing Hunter): Oh my god, play keep-away with the BBEG.
M: Yes! I throw it to Harriet.
DM: He roars with anger.
Adam: I run to the side door and attempt to leave.
DM: As you run into the corridor, you come face to face with the two Faceless who Gregor locked out earlier, who have circled around the hall.
Adam: Oh, shit! I run back into the hall and use the front doors instead!
DM: Alright, you have left the hall with the main ritual item. That certainly puts a spanner in the BBEG's plans.
