Take her chances.

Steeling herself, she waits for a pulse to pass before throwing herself down into the hole. Weapons drawn, energies focussed, moving on a direct course to the unsuspecting leader...Wait. Why is she slowing down?

She feels a cushion of magical energy surround her which, try as she might, she cannot escape. Taki's fall slows to a gentle drift and her direction changes as she gravitates towards the stone pedestal, coming to rest just above it. The cultists smile onwards blankly, like they were expecting her arrival...

Her arms and legs are suddenly seized by an irresistible **** and pulled taught to the corners of the stone table. Her struggles are useless and she cries out in pain as the shard pulses again, eating into her aura with burning tendrils.

"We are so happy you decided to come." The lead cultist smiles down beatifically at the writhing ninja before raising his arms over her body and continuing his chant.

(You're a little disappointed in how easy it is to make her go down there. Young Taki is arrogant as hell. This is part one of the mods you added and you were feeling pretty devious when you installed it. You're amazed with how easily it meshes with the base game, the AI reacts so naturally you almost feel like you're watching a movie. You pause to look over the settings: What do the Cultists do to Taki?)
