Hand of the King

(Investigate boxes northwest of Echo of War: Borehole Planet's Old Crater)

Investigate

Ordinary boxes filled with clutter. You have no idea who was bored enough to stack them all up together like this. They aren't stacked very neatly, and seem to be on the verge of toppling over. You decide to...

Be a good person and stabilize them.

You've always been kind. No matter how big or small the job is, if you ever see an exclamation mark hanging over the top of something, you'll always take action.

Despite there being no exclamation marks here — nor a single question mark, either — you decide to take action. You were just born to be a kind-hearted person.

Looks kinda dangerous. Keep your distance.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Taking several steps back, you get ready to dodge any falling hazards.

Oh yeah — wonder if the IPC pays out insurance claims for the Nameless? You start plotting out a meticulous plan for your own personal safety.

Pausing for a moment beside the stacked boxes, you hear a voice behind you...

A cute figure appears behind you.

Insighter: Freeze!

Insighter

Insighter: Yes, you! Don't mess with my boxes! I've been painstakingly stacking them all up!

I'm not here to mess with anything...

Insighter: Is that so? Perhaps I'm mistaken, then.

How do you manage that with your height?

Insighter: Silence. Question not the bodily perfection of this here genius!

Insighter: I remember you, tall one. You came just in time. I've got a fantastic plan to put into place, and I could use some tall talent like yourself helping out!

Insighter: Can you help me move the "throne"?

What's that?

Insighter: That's an essential item to helping others witness my glorious triumph! Mwahaha!

Uh, but I don't know you.

Insighter: Mwahaha? You forgot about a pure genius, like me? Well then... people used to call me... "Molten Cheese Tart"!

Insighter: I don't care. You're the best choice out there for helping me because you're the one who banished me to this barren wasteland — so take some responsibility!

Insighter: What I want is very simple: I'd like you to help me move the "throne" over! Up here, on top of this!

What exactly do you mean by the "throne"?

Where is this "throne"?

Insighter: Don't worry. I'll take you there, and you'll know soon enough what it is.

It brings you to the throne it adores.

Insighter: It's not very heavy. Can you please help me move it? Please!

Lift up the "throne"

Insighter: C'mon, let's go!

Insighter

Insighter: Here it is. Help me pop it right up the top there!

You place the throne atop the stack of boxes.

Insighter: Marvelous. Mwahaha... I can go up now... But...

Insighter: ...It's still a little high... I can't quite reach...

Insighter: Could you help me up?

Just as you're about to open your mouth to respond, you come to a sudden realization.

Why are you running errands for this little thing? This is the throne that you built with your own hands. It belongs to you — and whosoever may sit on it should be decided by you and you alone!

Who should sit on the throne? You decide...

It has to be me!

Main article: The Lord of Iron Throne

Send it on up there — just for a laugh.

With your support, approaching the throne that you created with your bare hands, you thrust up the cute Molten Cheese Tart — ah, no, it's the esteemed Insighter, now.

The Insighter sits atop the throne it adores, ecstatic. The throne shudders a little, but you manage to stabilize it in time.

Once you're sure it isn't going to topple over, you take a few steps back.

Despite you and the Insighter themselves being the only ones present to witness this moment of limitless glory — well, strictly speaking, it's just YOU — it's impossible to stop a chuckle from slipping out.

In a daze, you start to wonder if this kind of mischief isn't so bad after all.
