"The time of this Choosing will require health and resolve from the seven of you. As such ..." Zellara reaches down to the cards and passes her hands over them, magical lights come from the cards to come together as a set of nine cards in her hand.

Paxre chooses one. As a deck of playing cards, this is a Jack of clubs, as indicated outside of the left of each vertical border. However, the outside right of the same is a shield, which is used for more archaic purposes. The picture is that of a path blocked by a thorny wall. "The Tangled Briar," Paxre sighs. "That doesn't bode well for me."

Zellara says, "Everyone's 'role card' will be a boon when most needed. Some people call you vermin, but you will need it most when against vermin you may have to survive. The Tangled Briar is a card of ancient deeds. It is much misaligned with you, but that means your thorny past won't just bring pain, but hope for the future."

Zellara looks at the rest of you. "There is no ill here, and the boons you receive with your 'role' shall help in some hidden way in the future, and the gods themselves that protect you shall see to protect you in darkest times."

Epsilon Elite? Let me know in what order cards are drawn .... as well as any RP that may occur.
