Ra-Kehet has found an open space away from others and is going through a routine sequence of fighting poses to warm up. Unlike most Khenra, he is wearing armor (studded leather specifically) and has a shield lashed to his back. At his hip, a finely-wrought khopesh hilt swings from his belt as he moves, with no blade apparent.
Meanwhile, Atothis has picked up an assortment of blunt training weapons and begun to juggle them, an act of near mockery to the trials. If looking closely, however, you notice the strain in his face and the semi-transparent third hand that is darting back and forth catching and throwing along with his other two hands. He is a bald-headed human, and does not appear to be wearing armor.
Ra-Kehet finishes the last movements of his kata, and draws the khopesh hilt. Holding it up to his forehead for a moment, he swings it down and to the side and a brilliant khopesh blade of radiant light springs to life and he begins the dance-like form again, blade whirling and casting shadows across the training area.
Both seem primarily focused on their own training for the time being.
After a few minutes of practice, Tenami returns "Naf crop! Follow me, your trials are beginning!" He comes followed by who you believe is Senseti, the vizier of solidarity. As you eagerly follow, Senseti begins speaking "In the first trial, the Trial of Solidarity, you must work together. You will have to retrieve an object from the far side of the area, while defending our most sacred obelisk."
Ra-Kehet dismisses his blade and joins the group alongside his twin. "Vizier Tenami" he calls out, "what must we retrieve and who are we defending against?" His tone is respectful, but strong.
Atothis lets the training blades he was juggling fall around him, neglecting to return them to the racks, and saunters along with the group, whistling quietly, as if he were just out for a stroll and not facing the trials at all.
You all soon find yourselves at a large chamber. It is completely empty except for the obelisk, which is standing ten feet in height in the center of the cavern. The viziers lead you toward the obelisk. Senseti says: "You know what to do. May you be granted a glorious death, initiates." Once the viziers are gone, you feel a very powerful presence in your room. You all turn to where the viziers left, and see Oketra, the cat headed god of solidarity, standing in the chamber. She smiles and nods at you, then draws back her bow with an arrow nocked, and releases, with the arrow landing in the wall at the far side of the chamber. The landscape shifts. Trees, hills, and dense undergrowth appear around the monument. You see monsters, horned beasts, anointed, and even viziers and angels, stream into the chamber from all sides.
Mesu, thinking: Oh, this is really happening, immediately starts sprinting twoards the arrow, not taking into account that the arrow is way to big to carry himself.
Ta-kara stays at the obelisk, preparing to cast bless on the frontline fighters (everyone lmk what your names are, if you're a melee fighter, tell me, I can bless three of you)
Ra-kehet gets his shield and blade ready, and will gladly accept a blessing from his twin. He takes a moment to size up the situation before doing anything rash.
Atothis looks for a way to get to the arrow without just running through oncoming horde. Are the cavern walls/ceiling still there? Do they look climbable? Perception: 15
Zonenchu roars with excitement, tightens his grip around the hefty shaft of the heavy two-handed maul and is ready to meet anyone head-on who presents a challenge. (Would love a Bless!)
Ssra on the other hand will stay at the obelisk and will Ready Action an Eldritch Blast (with Repelling Blast invocation) and aim the two beams at the first two things that run towards the obelisk. Ssra wants to get into melee with someone, but only someone of his choice.
Most of the fired arrows strike the target, though does not really attract the attention of anyone else, due to the fact that this happens very often.

Mesu, stretches, acting confident, while inside, he isn't really. Hazoret, give me strength.
Ta-kara, walks beside her twin, also praying to Hazoret, very nervous for the trial to start, but completely confident at the same time.
"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."
~ Guild Wars 2
Kan-ra is jubilant.
Anputeleptuf is resigned.
Both fly shortly overhead.
