Welcome to Wikipedia-Wars, the free, open-source Battle Royale where anyone can win glory or die tryin'.

The steaming shrimp gumbo gives you such a powerful olfactory stimulation that you nearly forget about your mission. This dish, potent enough to render the most weight-conscious health nut into an eating frenzy, is a mastered product of Margaret Jelanie, although you know that she's actually always called Mama Jeli. The warmth that emanates from her home, her cooking, and her heavy, busty figure is a warmth that few biological mothers could provide.
"Be careful, don't burn your tongue on the soup!"
She heaves the mighty bowl in front of your seat, the searing heat of it making you sweat. Mama Jeli is a local community fixture, going out of her way to offer her services to anyone who hungers for a hot meal or needs somewhere warm and safe to stay during the night. Her meals are filling, her house is spotless, her garden is vibrant with flora. She organizes communal picnics, barbecues, dances and old-fashioned drive-in movies.
As you attempt to swallow the contents of your bowl, Mama Jeli leans in from across the table.
"Again, thank you so much for helping out 'round here. It really means a lot to me, to all of us."
Mama reclined, beaming, and any ignorant observer would have thought that you had given her some innocent assistance. Mama was a guardian, but she was no angel. She understood the workings of the real world much more than someone would discern from her outward impression. She understood that sometimes the church luncheons and school fundraisers would not be enough to aid her community. Sometimes people like you had to give their assistance. You respected that.
"I'm sure you want a little somethin' for your work, but you said that you didn't want no money? Well how about a jar of honey? A new dress? What about a date with my grandson, he's a good looking boy!"
Mama heartily chuckles as you put down your soup spoon.
"Wikipedia."
Mama's smile scurries away like a hare that spotted an alligator lurking in the shallows of the swamp.
"Wiki...little missie', did you just-"
"Wikipedia. The Wars."
Mama cocked her elbows against the table and buried her fists into her cheeks. She stands up, and without looking at you directly, tells you to wait out on the porch.
It's humid outside as it seems to be year-round in the bayou. The symphony of buzzing insects and crying birds prevents any contemplative silence. Mama comes out after a few minutes, with a soft smile, looking like she had recovered from your request. Her thick left palm holds a manuscript of old, weathered papers.
"The Wikipedia Wars, never thought anyone would talk 'bout 'em ever again, much less wanna' learn."
You reach for the document but Mama softly waves your hand away as she relaxes into a rocking chair.
"Sorry child, but some things are better spoken then read. Now please, lend me your ear..."
Gameplay:
The goal of this game is to incapacitate all of the other players to the point where they can not incapacitate you back. The simplest way to achieve this goal would be to kill the other players, or put them in a comatose/long-term K.O.'d state, but there are other viable methods including complete subduction or damage to one's mind to the point where they can't even cognitively function well enough to be a proper contender anymore. The last player remaining will be the Champion.
The Game runs on a 10-Sided Die system for completing actions, so a Rolled 10 will result in the complete satisfaction of the intended action, whereas a 1 will result in the direct opposite. Everyday simple actions require no rolls. Things like climbing a ladder, breaking down a door or hacking through an electronic lock, will.
Each player receives 5 Items and Abilities, based on 5 Random Wikipedia Articles loaded for them. Abilities have some sort of effect on the player, oftentimes a modifier to certain types of rolls, or access to a non-standard ability. For example, a Random Article on a Baseball Player may give the player a +2 to actions involving the use of Baseball Bats or similarly-shaped Club-type items. Most nouns will simply give the player a certain amount of an item. Getting Graphite may have them simply starting out with a sack full of Graphite.
[Note: In the current addition of the game, I will only use Articles that have enough content to get me something specific. This is to prevent what happened in previous games, where all the 3-sentence articles about obscure Basketball and Football Players caused everyone to have similar Abilities.]
But won't this result in huge disparities, with one player starting with an assault rifle, another with Telekinesis, and another with a pogostick? Of course, that's what makes this fun! Be creative, that's why the goal is to Incapacitate, not just Kill. A player can be blessed with getting the Article for Immortality, but that makes them far from unbeatable.
In general, most Articles will work like this:
-Organisms, People, Fictional Characters, and Mythological/Religious Entities will give the Player an Attribute based on their own abilities and habits.
-Locations will give Abilities based on what they're known for, ex., Detroit would give its player a +2 to actions involving automobiles.
-Items will mostly result in the player starting with one or more of them on-hand, depending on their function, size, etc.
-Concepts, Theories and Abstractions will give Abilities based on their general subject. A player with Pragmatism will get an ability to disprove untestable impossibilities, ex., nullifying the magical powers of another player.
-Miscellaneous Articles will result in...something. Eh, I'll figure it out. This game is Bollocks enough already.
Abilities aren't inherently bad, but may carry risky side-effects, or could simply be almost useless.
The location of the game will be the first Random Article I get to that could physically hold all of the players simultaneously. This location will serve as the boundary for the game's first 3 Turns, after which the boundary will dissipate. The location could vary from a cruise ship, to the entire country of Moldavia, to a gas station in Central America, to Al Capone's Jail Cell, etc.
So that's it. If you want in, simply say so.
NPCs:
NPCs are completely neutral and apathetic to PvP fighting. However, they will start responding to any sort of violence or action that interferes or harms them in any way. So if two players decide to have a gunfight, the NPCs will do nothing except maybe hide. However, if a stray bullet hits an NPC, the NPCs will start reacting to the player at fault, at which time them may run away, scream for help, call the police, attack the player, and so forth. The response of the NPCs to Players varies with each NPC of course; flashing a group of elderly monks will end differently than throwing beer cans at a gang of disgruntled bikers.
An Addendum To Player Sheets:
All spoiler'd player sheets are free to be viewed by other players and are considered "public". While this will inevitable influence player decisions, explicit meta-gaming is not permitted, (ex. a character knowing the exact location of another character without any means of getting that information).
Now, I feel that the last two attempts at this game failed because despite this game centering around Player VS. Player Combat, (or just PvP conflict in general, as many players had abilities that extended beyond the realm of combat) there was little ince
ntive to actually engage other players. Well, I've come up with such an incentive:
*New Gameplay Addition!*
In this game, players gain Items and Abilities based on five completely Random Wikipedia Articles. In previous games, these were permanent for the duration of a single game until the next. This time, things are different: For each player you incapacitate, you will gain another Random Wikipedia Article. This provides incentive no matter how your initial luck is: If you start out with a load of good Items and Abilities, you can steamroll through other players to rack up even more to become the dominant and most threatening character. Inversely, if your five starting Articles suck, why not kill a couple other players for a chance at getting something good?
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT GAMEPLAY ADDITION: 48-hour 24-hour time limit between updates!
Example Player Load-out:
Even Newer Gameplay Addition:
"Kill Absorption" - When a competitor kills another competitor, they gain kills equal to half (rounded down) of their defeated opponent's total kill-count. They also gain an amount of new Articles equal to this same number. For example, killing someone with a Kill-count of 6 would result in +3 to your current Kill-count and gaining 3 new Articles.
Types of Reloading:
Quick Reload - These weapons can be reloaded without a substantial time investment from their users. If your ranged weapon does not have its type of reloading specified next to it, assume it is a Quick Reload weapon. The only time a Quick Reload will greatly effect your gameplay is if it is done for some reason in close quarters combat, such someone engaging you in an ongoing fight while you are in striking range. If you try a Quick Reload while someone is close enough to say, take a free swing at you without needing to run at you first, they will get a free retaliating attack before you can finish reloading to commence with your own attack. Common Quick Reloading Weapons include most Handguns, Machine Pistols, SMGs, and Bows.
Moderate Reload - These weapons take longer than the previous type to reload, but the reload is fast enough to keep you in a fight. You can perform a Moderate Reload before shooting, but this will allow your opponent, regardless of their type of weapon, to counter-attack before you attack rather than afterwards. Common Moderate Reload Weapons include most Rifles, Muskets, Crossbows, and Flamethrowers.
Long Reload - The reloading for these weapons are very time intensive and thus you can not perform any combat during your turn. (If an enemy attacks you during their turn and are unsuccessful, you will still counter-attack.) As for other actions, you can perform quick actions while Long Reloading, such as diving for nearby cover, but you will not be able to do things like quickly sprint away or climbing. Common Long Reload Weapons include Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers, and Rocket Launchers.

Game 1
Round 1: Specters of War
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Kupari was a picturesque town sitting on the Adriatic Sea. While the rich shining bay and the luscious forest remained vibrant as ever, Kupari itself was a ghost town. There were still hundreds of people walking the streets of Kupari, but these were all tourists and street vendors, any trace of an original Kupari native was gone. The decadent military resorts that once brought life to this village had become skeletons, the war had abused these hotels with carpet bombings and mortar strikes until their insides were little more than monuments of dust and debris.
But even in Kupari's heyday, these grand palaces of leisure would not have been prepared to accommodate the guests that would arrive today.
Ten of them stood in a circle arrangement on the sands that sit before the Grand Hotel, Kupari's magnum opus whose only occupant now was vermin and graffiti drawings. The tough shrubs thriving in the sand and lone palm tree swaying in the wind made the scene uncannily similar to a classic Mexican standoff. Eyes flickered around and palms twitched; timing the first move just right would be the difference being able to continue onto the second round or becoming the next casualty to the ghost of Croatia's bloody War.
As if an invisible starter pistol had gone off, each contender's body contorted to their first action, the symphony of chaos and blood singing its first note.
The Hot Air Balloon, Thunder Machine, Yellow Cab Ambassaodr and G-1010 Silver Sword Fighter Jet are all parked about 150 yards away from the Standoff Circle.
All Naval Vehicles are set on the shore of the Bay, which is about a fifth-mile to the South of the Standoff Circle.

Round 2: Blood on the Sand
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia) [2 Turns until Border Dissipates][/center]
Hawk132 races to the fighter jet as the fighting commences around him, dipping and weaving around bodies and gunfire as the battle begins. [6] He manages to escape getting shot or stabbed as he reaches the bottom of his plane, hands on his knees, panting after his exertion.
birdy51 has no idea how he ended up in a circle of angry looking people, or why he was dressed as if he were to be dropped deep into the jungles of Vietnam, except there were no jungles around and no Viet Cong. That one guy in suit looks Asian though, but he could be Chinese or Japanese or Korean...hell, what did it matter? They were all commies as far as birdy could remember. "Eat lead, Soviet scum!" birdy raises his M16 and marches on Nunzillor. (10 VS. 5) A single shot to the gut sends Nunzillor to the flat of his back. "Yeah! America!"
tntey takes a page from Hawk's book and flees the scene of the battle as a overly realistic and inaccurate reenactment of the Vietnam gets under way. [10] He wastes no time in getting to his vehicle, and he even saves a few seconds by diving through the Thunder Machine's side door. He slides into the seat and jams his key into the ignition, the beast of an engine roaring to life, fire spewing from the exhaust.
Nanobones's hands tremble over the guns in both of his holsters, but he doesn't draw either of them yet. The sand has settled and the crows caw, and in this situation he knows that the hero is never the first one to draw. A couple people scamper away, but he doesn't pull his guns out and shoot them just yet, that would be a scallywag's way of doing things, a mark of cowardice. When the Vietnam Vet shoots another combatant straight in the stomach, Nanobones knows it's time to act, both guns gleaming in the shine of the sun as they are drawn, Nanobone's perceiving his move in Hollywood slow-motion. (3 VS. 1) So it turns out shooting guns akimbo is hard, and you know what makes it harder? Shooting different guns akimbo. Nanobones unloads over a dozen rounds of ammunition on birdy, and only a single bullet hits, and that single bullet doesn't do more than scratch the skin on his right hand. Well, at least he's been distracted. Nanobone's blows the smoke off of his guns like he had just shot up a camp of bandits.
McDonald came to this fight unarmed to prove his machismo and honor; when he began to see everyone shooting each other to pieces, he briefly pondered on the value of machismo and honor especially when they could result in getting your face blown off. Looking around for something to properly equip himself with, he spots birdy with his M16, and in the nick of time McDonald watches the soldier get distracted by a bullet to the hand. Seizing the opportunity, McDonald charges at birdy (6+2 VS. 3) and wraps his arm around the elbow of the soldier. birdy has little time to react when McDonald applies pressure to his elbow, causing him much discomfort and reflexively dropping the rifle. McDonald throws birdy to the ground, his landing softened by the sand, and snatches up the M16.
NAV sneaks up behind Generally me and lines up the scope reticule on his rifle with the back of his target's head, really a basic assassination technique in his opinion. (10+3 VS. 2) And it is. There's the muffled explosion from the SCAR and then Generally is prone on the ground, spurting blood red liquid. "OOOOOH, did you guys see that shit?" NAV exclaims as he casually walks towards the Grand Hotel. "That shit was insane. Get an alliance with me if you want to do rad shit like that. If not, I'll fucking dome you next. Peace," he signs as he disappears behind the rubble.
NAV CIA'd Generally me!

My Name is Immaterial stands there with his sword held high, ready to cut through his foes who only wield mere hand-cannons, miniscule threats in his opinion! Surveying the area for a victim for someone that doesn't have access to some sort of gun, he picks Generally me only to witness NAV swooping in and stealing his kill. Nunzillor is unarmed, so Immaterial charges at him with a warrior's screech, only for someone to shoot him in the stomach. "Stop trying to kill my opponents before I have the chance! Tend to your own battle, coward!" Immaterial stops and chastises his opponents before continuing to run after Nunzillor. (8+3 VS. 2) Nunzillor stands up, his arms wrapped around his torso attempting to keep his entrails inside, only for Immaterial to cleave him with one giant vertical slash, separating him into two pieces from his skull down to his groin. Immaterial licks the blood from the blunt face of his blade as Nunzillor literally falls into pieces. "Now then, who is next?"
My Name is Immaterial dissected Nunzillor!

So can I do things now?
Not yet, you secured the first spot for the Second Game.
It's set up that way because if I kept sending in new people, the people who got in first would be at a disadvantage, since they would be more likely to be injured and/or under attack while new players would come in fresh.

He then precedes to run Nanobones through.

Round 3: Marksmen & Property Damage
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia) [2 Turns until Border Dissipates]
NAV gets into the crumbling hotel structure in the background, flashing a gang sign over a hunk of wall, giving Immaterial some props before dipping down and crouch-walking to a new location. Taking cover behind a column, NAV takes a blunt out of his bag and lights it up. A few good hits of the kush and the special force operative is thoroughly blazed. Peeking from his cover, NAV spots a combatant seizing a rifle from another combatant, although his whole view is pretty blurry; maybe getting high while trying to take guys down isn't a good idea, but then again it might be all part of an elite military tactic. "Oh shit, that ain't good," NAV mutters to himself as he props the side of his rifle up against the column to stabilize it. (1+3-2 VS. 7) NAV sprays some bursts down towards the sand, but he's feeling light headed and his hands are pretty loose after getting a whiff of the good stuff. It might just be the drugs, but NAV swears that it looks like McDonald has noticed him and is turning around and pointing the M16 at him...(1 VS. 3) Turns out a sober untrained fighter isn't as good of a shot with a rifle as a blazed elite Belgian soldier. NAV ducks back behind his column, letting it absorb any stray bullets.
Hawk climbs into his plane with no resistance and gets the engine roaring and all the systems online. The takeoff is a bit difficult in the sand, but the jet manages to gain altitude and soars up into the sky. Hawk looks around at all the options available to him in the plane, and notices that it comes with 3 charges of napalm. Coming up with a literally sure-fire plan, Hawk turns the jet around and flies it over the battleground. Just as he's passing the starting point, Hawk pushes the trigger for a napalm bombardment. [4] Due to some strong winds, the bomb ends up falling on the roof of the Grand Hotel. The explosion causes a minor shockwave and sets the roof ablaze. It doesn't put anyone in danger, for the moment.
Birdy finds himself lying in the sand as McDonald takes his gun away. Before Mc can execute him on the ground like those son-of-a-bitch commies' used to do in the jungle, someone shoots at McDonald from the hotel. McDonald ducks and returns fire. During these moments, Birdy furiously searches his figure for a grenade, it has to be somewhere on his gear, all soldiers had to carry at least a couple spares right? But for some reason his uniform lacks any explosives, but it does have a similarly shaped canteen. Sure a canteen doesn't explode into fragments, but it's worth a shot. Birdy grips the canteen, heavy and sloshing with water, and chucks it at McDonald. (1 VS. 6) The canteen doesn't even hit McDonald and lands in the sand next to him, but it did get his attention. (8 VS. 6) McDonald spins around and sprays up Birdy. Most of the bullets don't land, since McDonald isn't the best shot in the world, but Birdy can't laugh when a round embeds itself through his right shoulder.
Tntey revs up the engine of the Thunder Machine. Guiding the wheel towards the center mass of the fighting, he grips the leather and puts his foot down on the pedal. Wheels tear through the sand as the war truck charges at the other combatants. Everyone runs or crawls and scampers away as fast as they can, although Immaterial's armor puts him in more danger than anyone else. [5+2 VS. 8] Immaterial barely action rolls out of the way of the Thunder Machine as its tires leave the slightest marks on its armor as it goes flying by. Tntey curses, an unsuccessful run.
McDonald holds the warm M16 up, looking through it's iron sights as the injured Birdy tries to back away. [2+2 VS. 1] McDonald slams his foot down on Birdy's torso, holding him in place as he aims the barrel for his head, Birdy desperately trying to bat McDonald off with no success. [3+1 VS. 6] Turns out that McDonald can't even shoot someone at point blank range while pinning them to the ground, though to be fair Birdy is doing a whole lotta' wiggling. [5 VS. 4] Birdy grabs McDonald's leg with his good arm and yanks it, sending McDonald off balance and giving him some time to scramble to his feet and create about a yard's worth of distance between them.
Nanobones peers at Immaterial preparing for another charging attack. Nanobones takes the initiative to run forward and counter-charge him! [7+2 VS. 2] At the last second, Nanobones pulls an NFL level juke move and gets right past Immaterial, causing him to miss, and tripping him in the same maneuver. Immaterial falls and drops his sword, getting a helmet full of sand. Nanobones briefly makes some taunting gestures before running past the side of the Grand Hotel and into the forest behind it, sprinting until he is far enough into the woods where he can no longer see the hotel.
Immaterial gets to his feet and removes his helmet, letting the sand pour out of it and rubbing the grainy material out from his eyes and mouth. He puts his helmet back on and grabs his sword off the ground, looking for the agile bandit, but he's already disappeared from sight.
Fr0stByt3 assumes the captain's position and takes his Civil War Gunship off from the shore and down to the bay, the wind running through his hair and letting him roleplay an 1850's Navy Officer. "Boys, ready the cannon!" Fr0stByt3 waits before remembering that he has no boys. With a sigh, he gets off of the wheel and down to the deck below where he personally has to man one of the cannons. [8] Aiming one of the guns towards the Grand Hotel, he loads cannonballs in and lets the gun rip. It's a rather slow process, since he's only one person, but he does manage to get a handful of shots in during this round, enough to start putting holes in the building.
NAV meanwhile, is still chilling in the hotel when he starts to smell smoke, and not the good kind of smoke either. Before he can question that, a cannonball comes by and obliterates one of the nearby ruined walls. "Oh shit." [5] NAV runs from his position, as the column bursts into pieces as another cannonball tears it to shreds. NAV is unharmed, but lacks good cover, and it's hard to find new cover when the surrounding environment is randomly getting hit with cannonballs.

Why aren't you adding people in from the waitlist?

There seens to be some confusion among newer players about how the Waitlist works. What was the waitlist system(s) that y'all were used to?
-
I guess when there's space for new players or a player needs to be replaced, the next person in waitlist comes in.
-
I assumed that since this is a PVP game, it was elimination, with the waitlist being for the next game.

Same.

If there are some nicely grouped up players, drop some napalm on them. If not, just strafe someone.
-
>Closely examine my WWII pistol and six-shooter to determine their capabilities, handling characteristics and caliber.
-
I think that having a steady stream of new players joining the game would be a good thing. It would help prevent stagnation and stalemates and empty arena and keep things interesting and varied. I don't think it would be unfair to older players like you said because they would likely have the advantage of extra kills and articles.
-
Have 1 or 2 players join the game every turn, a bit further away from the start area? Sounds good?
-
While that would add a new exciting dynamic to the game, what would be the incentive to compete and fight?
-
Our competitive nature.
-
I am against new players mid round, unless they are sent to kill the current players and thin the herd. That would be interesting. It's like the hunger games. If the audience gets bored, send in the hounds.

Round 4:
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia) [1 Turn until Border Dissipates]
Birdy searches his body for more things to hit or throw at McDonald. He lacks any bottles or cans, but he still has the ordinate and incredibly valuable Liberty Bell Ruby. The Ruby was stolen and never recovered by its original owners, and being worth millions of dollars, must be handled with the greatest care, which is why Birdy charges at McDonald trying to clobber him over the head with the gem. (5 VS. 2) Birdy swings and smacks McDonald right in the face with the ruby. McDonald's face whips to the side and he falls onto the sand dazed, sporting a new mark on his cheek.
Immaterial shouts as the Thunder Machine roars off into the distance, cursing Tntey and his "unmanly" fighting style of hiding inside a mechanical contraption. He turns his attention to the nearby brawl where Birdy has knocked McDonald to the ground with some sort of shiny blunt object. Immaterial creeps over as Birdy looks over McDonald like a leopard that has just immobilized a gazelle. As he raises the ruby once more, Immaterial charges him from the back. (10+3 VS. 2) Birdy's murder demolition spree is halted when he looks down at the several inches of Byzantine steel now protruding from his chest. He gives McDonald a look that just says 'Well, this happened', as the blade jerks upwards and comes through his torso and through his head. Birdy's cadaver falls in front of McDonald, vertically bisected from his skull down to his sternum.
Immaterial has separated Birdy!
+Article: Star Wars Galaxies: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxies) +Lightsaber, Abilities: Force Kinetics, Force Mind Control, Force Speed
McDonald, seeing his would-be murderer get killed off and replaced with a scarier medieval murderer with a big sword, gets to his feet and runs to Nunzillor's body, lying in the sand nearby. Digging through the pockets of Nun's suit jacket, Mc comes across a pair of keys for the Ambassador Yellow Cab in the distance. (7) He breaks into a sprint hearing the ominous clanging of Immaterial's armor behind him, getting to the cab and swinging the door open, jamming the key into the ignition. (+Ambassador Yellow Cab) Sitting in the front seat, McDonald gets a notification from Croatian Intelligence that they've received his 'evidence' on the crimes of Fr0stByt3 and are on his tail...
The Grand Hotel shakes and rumbles under the bombardment of cannon fire. With the place threatening to fall apart around, NAV runs out of the ruined structure and makes a beeline for the Bay. Catching a glimpse of McDonald sitting in a taxi cab, NAV slows down a bit and pivots, firing into the vehicle, though moving fast and aiming don't go well together, although NAV is shooting more for suppression than trying to actually hit Mc. (10+3-3 VS. 3) NAV sprays into the car and the bullets fly everywhere, hitting the hood, the grill, the front window, even the passenger seat. McDonald remains unscathed, until a single random shot manages to hit him straight through the neck. McDonald jerks forward as the bullet rips through his throat and passes through his spinal column, killing him instantly. He slumps forward in his seat, his body pressing on the horn as it screams incessantly...
NAV reverse-drive-by'd McDonald!
+Article: Mohamed Mansour: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Mansour_(businessman)) +3 Business, +1 Politics
Nanobones treks into the forest and sits down on a stump, safe for the moment from the heat of battle. As he rests, he takes out both of his guns to give them a thorough investigation. The WWII pistol is a classic M1911 Pistol, widely considered to be among the greatest handguns of the modern era. Holds 7 shots, easy to handle, and .45 caliber bullets for stopping power; it's no wonder why they still use versions of this gun today. The Wild West Revolver is a Colt Single Action, with the normal 6 shots and also .45 ammunition, although it's more unwieldy and less accurate by far than the M1911; although the M1911 is obviously the superior gun, the Colt comes through as a backup.
Tntey zooms along in the Thunder Machine, going at high speed and making a sharp 180. When the engines still roaring, he races back towards Immaterial. (1 VS. 10) Pushing the Thunder Machine to its limits, Tntey ends up jamming steering wheel. He tires to realign it on track with his hands while panickedly stomping on the brake, which is ceasing to function. The runaway truck doesn't end up anywhere near Immaterial, as instead in plunges headfirst into the Grand Hotel. [4] Tntey bails from the war mount at the last second as it ends up going through several walls of the hotel. Tntey rolls across the sand, grimy but mostly unharmed. However, when he gets up he realizes that his right arm was broken from the impact of landing on the ground.
Hawk makes circles around the battlefield looking for a spot to do a good napalm bombing on, but everyone has dispersed and he can't get a reading on any groups. What he does see is that one of the combatants has docked their boat and is now firing cannons, and a whole boat makes an easier target than a tiny little person on the ground. (8 VS. 3) Civil War Gunships were built for dealing with all sorts of combat situations, but definitely not for aerial raids. Hawk passes over the ship and tears through it with sustained minigun fire, putting tons of holes in it.
Fr0stByt3 cheerily loads another cannonball when he hears the roar of a jet come across the sky, accompanied with the sound of dozens of bullets going through his ship. Fr0stByt3 instantly feels his ship sinking and capsizing, and his cannon begins sliding away to the side. He looks out over the side of the ship ready to bail, when he sees a cop car sitting on the beach. Over an amplified speaker, the police announce, "THIS IS THE KUPARI POLICE DEPARTMENT! WE HAVE A WARRANT FOR FR0STBYT3! SURRENDER NOW!"

Hello once again! Sorry for the wait for this turn; it appears that the RNG God favored some players this time around, but don't get comfortable, she's an arbitrary and fickle Goddess.
If it's any compensation for waiting, recently I've been reflecting on player input especially regarding the waitlist and how to make the game more fun for all parties. After some experimenting, I've been thinking of making some majors changes to the game, several inspired by the Perplexicon Game style.
In this new style, the game would start with 10 players as usual, and whenever players would die, an equal number of players would be put into the game from the waitlist, so there would always be 10 players at the start of every turn. Players would continue fighting until one player managed to get a total of 10 kills. At this point, the game moves into its second phase. The player with 10 kills becomes the 'Boss', where based on their articles, they gain some abilities and resources to make them much stronger than they even are already, something like a superpower(s) or a Mecha to control. Other players make up the 'Heroes', and some players will be let in from the waitlist to make things more fair so that the Hero team will have enough players; depending on how things go the Heroes might have 10 players, 12, 15, etc. The goal of the Boss is to eliminate all Heroes, while the Heroes must work together to eliminate the Boss. Whichever side completes their objective wins the game!
If this sounds interesting to enough people, I will start a poll to see if a majority want the game to switch to this style. I won't change the game for this Round, but if the vote is successful the next game will have the new style.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
Sure
-
I like that plan.
-
Bah! Oh well. Tis happens.
-
That idea sounds good to me.
-
capitalist scum killing me with their freedoms
pfft
I'm all up for this idea.
-
The poll will be up shortly. Those of you still in the game, remember to post a turn. :p
-
You gave my new wiki article to My Name is Immaterial.
To the USS Umpqua!
-
Get in my hot air ballon.
-
Flee! Board another ship if I can!
-
Strafe Fr0stByt3 again.
-
Throw my spear at tntey.
-
>Entrench myself in mulch and fallen leaves. Let the forest be my temporary disguise!
-
Sounds good let righteousness flow through you
-
TCM I dont think you gave Tntey his bonus to driving last turn. That mighta helped him not crash so bad.

Round 5: Vehicular Slaughter (Poll!)
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia) [Border has Dissipated]
Hawk soars above Fr0stByt3's, watching as the Civil War Gunship tips over. Not sure if he actually managed to hit Fr0stByt3, Hawk turns the jet fighter around and swoops in for another gunning. (3 vs. 2) Hawk takes the turn too sharp and manages to put a few more holes in the side of the ship but nothing else, certainly nothing that would have hit Fr0stByt3 unless he was hiding in the lower part of the ship, which is already plunging into the depths of the bay.
The Thunder Machine's drill tears through multiple layers of wall in the grand hotel, before finally embedding itself deep into what was once a staircase. Abandoning his old mode of transportation, Tntey instead ops for the much less aggressive Hot Air Balloon, which lacks the giant drill and guns of the Thunder Machine, but allows for vertical transportation and a breathtaking view of beautiful Kupari. Tntey lights up the balloon's central component and begins floating off.
Fr0stByt3's Gunship teeters onto it's side, and Hawk flies by and shoots through it more just out of spite. Fr0st knows that any courageous captain goes down with his ship, so it's a damn good thing he doesn't think of himself as a courageous captain. Hoisting himself up against the upturned side of the ship, Fr0st gathers himself and dives into the water below. The blue abyss envelops him, and as he swims back up to the surface, he gets a close up of the gunship disappearing into the depths. (3) Fr0st gasps as the air rushes to meet him and begins swimming towards the other ships nearby, but it's been a while since he's gone swimming and he doesn't make much distance.
The Croatian Police watch as the ship plunges into the ocean, wondering if Fr0stByt3 escaped or drowned. They drive off, deciding that their job is done and it's time to phone in the Maritime Police.
NAV continues on his path down to the Bay. (1) He's making his way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and he was so occupied with the idea of getting to his ship that he failed to notice an inattentive driver while crossing the road. (6 vs. 10) Before impact, NAV sees the car in his peripheries and combat rolls out of the road, getting yelled at but not suffering from any physical wounds. Still, he hasn't even got down to the sand of the Bay.
Nanobones finds a spot in the forest teaming with a heavy about of mulch and fallen leaves. Trying to become one with mother nature, he submerges himself down in the mixture. (3) A natural disguise would be a perfect one, no one would expect the quiet and tranquil forest to house a trained shooter, letting the mulch become his skin and the leaves to be his clothes Nanobones...feels a sting on his feet. Looking down, he realizes that the ground is swarming in fire ants. He sprints out of there like he was on fire and brushes off his entire body, rubbing himself along the bark of an oak tree to make sure that no bugs were on him. Maybe the forest wasn't so friendly after all.
Tntey's relatively relaxing ascent into the sky is interrupted by the Byzantine Basher himself. Immaterial charges as fast he can, "No real warrior flees to the sky! Come back and here and die with honor!" Not going to let Tntey get away, Immaterial takes out his spear and holding it like a javelin, tosses it at the punk star and his floating vessel. (7 vs. 8) The spear misses the the hot air balloon's basket by inches and sails harmlessly away. Immaterial curses as Tntey reaches an altitude that not even the greatest javelin-thrower could hit.

Damn, I overlooked that. My bad Tntey. If it's any consolation, the difference between getting a 1 or a 3 versus a 10 in that driving situation would have been the difference between crashing really hard and crashing very hard.
-

Round 6: Rendezvous at the Bay
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Tntey ascends into the sky, taking his Small Golden Cross off and dropping it below, reenacting the "No Matter What" Boy Zone music video. Despite his best wishes, the youthful, attractive, and faithful members of the boy band do not appear beneath him immediately. Will Boy Zone ever come back to save this malicious, brutal world? Probably not. Tntey tears up a little at this thought by focuses on the task at hand. With a heavy heart, Tntey strums out a solo that's just for him and the birds.
NAV has to get down to the Bay, and these inattentive drivers aren't helping, so there's only one thing to do. [5] NAV swings his feet together and swags his way down to the shoreline of the Bay, finally making their unscathed with the USS Umpqua sitting before him in all of its splendor.
Nanobones's whole perception of nature is flipped upside down as the ant's venom stings his skin. Gathering the driest pieces of shrub and branches into a pile, Nanobone's flicks out his Lighter. "Adios, foriesto~" (6+2) The whole pile quickly soars up in cackling flames. With his uncontrolled forest fire starting, Nano runs to the south-west in an instinctive decision. (7) He runs like there are ashes biting at his heels, which they are in a sense. Nano exits the forest and reenters urban Kupari, although in a different part; this section has more shops and tourist spots than ruins.
Furious at letting Tntey escape, Immaterial rushes down to the bay in a mix of indignant rage and a fix for more bloodlust. (10) Immaterial weaves through traffic, nearly getting flattened by a truck, but he's focused on other things for now. "Fellow warrior, greetings!" He announces as he runs right up behind NAV, sweating and panting after running for a while in a full suit of armor.

Let's go shoot down Tntey's balloon.
-
Keep swimming!
-
Keep swimming!
To?

Any nearby working vessels! I must make good my escape!
-
Shoot down tntey's balloon. If my previous action already shot it down and tntey somehow survived the fall, strafe him. If tntey died, drop some napalm on the USS Umpqua.
-
Fire the cannons! Target either the hot air balloon, the fighter jet, or that guy swimming in the water. Depends on how high these cannons can aim. How high...Shove a fistfull of weed into the cannons before firing!
Pretty sure this counts as military combat.
-
Assist NAV.

Fire the cannons! Target either the hot air balloon, the fighter jet, or that guy swimming in the water in that order of preference. Pretty sure this counts as military combat.
You fire that cannon at me and I will burn down that boat of yours. By the way, can your cannons can even aim that high up?

I should have been more specific in your bonus, it's more like Elite Infantry Specialization than all military combat, since your soldier type isn't taught to operate naval or aerial vehicles.
And Hawk, I'm not purposefully skipping you, I'm just travelling so once I set up my computer I'll roll for your action.
-
That's fair.

Drop my guitar on someone

>Attempt to find a sports store. Demonstrating my masterful baseball business acumen, petition the management for a temporary position among their ranks.

TCM, I think you didn't notice this.Let's go shoot down Tntey's balloon.
Tntey's tranquil guitar solo is interrupted by Hawk's Silver Sword opening fire on the Hot Air Balloon. (5 vs. 7) Hawk spins up the miniguns and fires from a distance, but the spray fails to hit the distant balloon, and he ends up harmlessly passing it by.

Round 7: Bloons'
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
NAV raises his rifle instinctively when he hears someone call him about behind him, but drops it when he sees Immaerial; he wouldn't fight him now, not with his rad ability to chop dudes right in half. Instead of engage combat, he gives Immaterial a fist tbump and allows him to join him on the mighty USS Umpqua. NAV, begins loading up the cannons, and being a military tactical genius, adds some marijuana to the shot just to gave it that extra hella dankness. He cycles through his targets; the fighter jet is going too fast and too high to hit with a cannonball, and the balloon would be a tough target as well. Instead, he turns the cannons towards the water where Fr0stByt3 is frantically swimming for safety. (6 vs. 1) Lighting up up the cannons, the explosions of grapeshot tear through the waters where Fr0stByt3 swims. Fr0stByt3 screams as one of the shots manages to rake his back and his shoulders. It hurts like hell, but if he stops swimming now he's dead.
Hawk turns his Silver Sword around again, barrel rolling through the skies. Surely a slow-moving and vulnerable Hot Air Balloon should be destroyed by a fighter jet within seconds. (3 vs. 2) The twin miniguns fire off again from a distance, and they fail to do much more than skimming the side of the basket and destroying a good five-cents worth of basket weave.
Fr0stByt3, wounded by cannon fire, continues swimming for the safety of a ship, leaving a cloud of red in the water behind him. (1-2) Fr0st swims as hard as he can, but the harder he swims, the faster he loses blood. He reaches the side of the SS Henry Chisholm, grabbing onto a ladder from the side and beginning to climb. He gets up a few rungs before he suddenly loses consciousness as a result of bleeding and falls back into the water, sinking into the depths below.
NAV put holes in Fr0stByt3 and sunk him!

After NAV lets him on board, My Name is Immaterial mans the other set of cannons on the USS Umpqua, and aims them up towards Tntey's balloon. Sure the balloon was far away and the cannon's were not meant for shooting down aerial targets, but it's worth a shot. (10-2 vs. 8) Each of the cannonballs miss, though it is stressful for Tntey to watch a bunch of cannonballs zoom past him. One of them gets within a foot of his head as it goes sailing off into the distance.
Nanobones looks around for a sporting good store, but it looks like Dick's has not expanded in Croatia yet. The closest are some souvenir shops that sell football supplies and trinkets, but nothing about baseball. Nanobones talks to one of these shopkeepers, trying to impress him with his resume of success in the baseball business. (10) The shopkeeper doesn't care or know much about baseball at all, but Nanobones is able to sway him on the grounds of being a damn fine businessman. He is so successful that the shopkeeper actually offers to give him the store, provided that he still get a majority of the profits.
The wildfire grows rapidly, consuming more of the forest. Tntey, hovering directly above the fire, now not only has to worry about jet fighters and cannonballs, there's also a ton of smoke coming up from directly below him. The smoke clouds his vision, fills up his lungs and makes him cough. The only upside is the thick smoke makes him and his balloon harder targets, but that won't matter if he suffocates.

"Our foes are now airborne! Come, my vessel is likely better equipped to bring them down!"
Switch to my ship, and open fire on the flying combatants.
Permanent Conditional Action: If I am attacked with a ballistic weapon, active Force Kinetics and use it to deflect the projectile.

"Yes! Let's pop some caps in those airborn amatures."
Join Immaterial in switching to the USS Gull. Man one of the autocannons and dakkadakkadakka the flyers.
Use my new Capture Gaze ability on Hawk to ensure an easier kill if I can target him and if I can do that before/while shooting.

Round 8: Baseball Jesus
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Hawk moves away from the vicinity of Tntey's Air Balloon; it's too much a of a hassle to shoot down, and the smoke should take care of the job anyways. He swings around the bay, flying around in loops and looking at his radar to see what's going on here. He briefly spots a heat source shaped like a person moving around in the water, but it then it stops moving and starts to become dark. He can also spot two other similarly shaped and colored figures moving around. These two latter figures begin moving towards another ship, a ship that looks much bigger and modern compared to the one that they're on. Knowing that this new ship is likely to contain anti-aircraft weapons, Hawk swoops down to stop the ship crew before they can make the transfer. (3 vs. 10) The twin miniguns unload, striking the side of the ship and the water, but not the two competitors who run away from the machine gun fire like they're in a Hollywood production.
Tntey wraps his mouth and nose in the inside of his elbow, trying to breathe as he attempts to see anything through the thick smokescreen. He grabs the propulsion device and begins gradually lowering the balloon, attempting to reach a lower and safer place away from the fire. (5) Tntey is forced to hazard a guess to where it would be safer, so he arbitrarily chooses to move towards the north. The smoke is a little less thick here, but still an issue, and the fire is to close to be able to safely land.
NAV and Immaterial fan out across the deck of the USS Gull as Hawk passes them in his jet, flying away as fast as possible to avoid getting hit by the guns of the ship. Grabbing ahold of one of the ship's 20mm cannon's, NAV looks towards the fleeing aircraft and uses one of his newly acquired Sunrunner powers on Hawk, Captured Gaze. (3) NAV directs his magical focus at the ship, but it is moving to fast and too far away for him to get a lock on Hawk, who briefly feels a twinge of fear and anxiety in the pit of his stomach, but it went away quickly. NAV moves onto the much more conventional means of combat by trying to shoot Hawk down with an anti-air gun. (4 vs. 1) Hawk spins his vehicle to avoid damage and for the most part gets out unscathed, except for a hit to his engine, although it's just a glancing hit and he isn't on fire or anything. The damage shouldn't be a major problem unless something else complicates it.
Immaterial runs up to the front of his ship and gets onto the 3"/50 Gun Mount, the massive anti-air machine gun that dwarfs the two 20mm's. Lining it up with Hawk's jet, which is already sustaining fire from NAV, Immaterial aims to tear it apart. (5 vs. 7) The jet is much too far away at this point, and unlike NAV, Immaterial doesn't land a single shot. He bangs his fist against the gun as he watches Hawk make his escape.
Nanobones is involved in a far less dangerous situation than any of the other contestants as he calls for a large order of Louisville Sluggers and all sorts of additional baseball paraphernalia. He would be the prophet that would bring the True Religion to the Croatians, the Holy Order of Baseball, where he will guide his flock to the Field in the Sky where they will hit Home Runs and Glam Slams for all eternity, under the love and protection of the Almighty Babe Ruth. While waiting for the shipment, Nanobones runs the shop trying to sell what it already has. (7) Nanobones gets the hang of convincing people to buy junk that they don't need, even when he doesn't understand what he is even selling. A picture of a building? A small statuette of some guy? Whatever, he'll tell them it's some important historical memorial as long as it gets him dough. (+$60)

Hopefully my Internet connection will not falter any longer. In the meantime, Immaterial posed a question about Secret PM'd actions. While they aren't in the game at the moment, they are something that could be implemented. What do y'all think? If it seems like an interesting idea to enough people we could discuss working secret actions into the next game.

Round 9: Fancy Flyin'
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Nanobones continues his business practices while awaiting for his shipment of baseball goods. (9) Business is going exceptionally well at this point, with a constant stream of customers coming to browse the shelves of random crap that Nanobones can mask under the pretense of historical value. Figurines and magazines are filtered through the hands of Western European tourists who have more money to spend than they know what to do with. ($100)
Hawk has two options, either flee far from the Bay or come back and engage the ship. While the first option would be safer, Hawk would personally flee better if those anti-aircraft guns, by far the biggest threat to him, were put out of commission, and a couple kills on top of that would be the icing on the cake. Turning his jet around, he flees back and engages the USS Gull with another volley of minigun fire. (8 vs. 3) This time the stream of shots cuts through one of the smaller guns on the ship, and most likely the person manning it.
Tntey lays down at the bottom of the basket and puts his shirt over his mouth to prevent more smoke inhalation, all while yanking the rope cable above him down, steering the balloon further to the North. (5) He continues moving but the smoke remains thick and the fire remains to hot and nearby to land, and he has no means of telling what direction he's moving in. He coughs under despite his best efforts to not inhale anymore; the only way to not inhale smoke would be not to breathe.
NAV is preparing his machine gun for another attack when Hawk returns much faster than he anticipated. As he lines up a shot, the plane comes down and tears through his gun and the surrounding area in seconds. The machine gun explodes and knocks NAV out of his seat, sending him rolling across the surface of the boat. When he regains consciousness, the first thing he sees is the smoking ruins of his gun, just a hunk of metal now. He tries to prop himself up but feels a shooting pain in his hands. Looking at his arms, he finds sharp shards that had come off of the gun embedded in him. This also appears to be the case in his torso. If he wasn't wearing his armor, he would have died immediately, now he is merely in pain and bleeding everywhere.
Immaterial sees Hawk make his return and before he can mount a counterattack, Hawk bears down and open fires on NAV, destroying his gun. "No!" But it is too late, NAV's gun is destroyed and he himself is flung across the deck. Immaterial fixes his autocannon on Hawk and fires. (2 vs. 10) Hawk spins out of the danger zone and comes at Immaterial with a turn sharp enough that he can briefly return fire. Immaterial sees this coming and sets up his Force Kinetic powers just before Hawk's bullets begin to rain down upon him. (7) The psychokinetic field holds up long enough for Hawk to pass without doing damage.

Round 10: Relative Stagnation
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
NAV puts his medical knowledge to the test, starting off by looking down and analyzing his wounds. Based on years of medical learning and practice, he concludes that it would be the best course of action if he could prevent himself from bleeding out and dying, and also to remove the shards of metal embedded deep in his hands. (9+2) NAV starts off by ingesting a small quantity of marijuana, just the right amount to dull the pain while not being enough to make him lose focus. He starts off by precisely pulling the metal out of his hands, and some of the more superficial shrapnel in his suit. He has regained control of his hands, although a couple pieces of metal are stuck deep in his chest, and removing them would cause more damage, and there's only so much he can do without any medical supplies. That's when an idea strikes him, on a naval vessel, they have to carry medical supplies...
Since getting low isn't helping, Tntey changes the projection of the Hot Air Balloon's movement and begins pushing it upwards trying to escape to a position high enough where the smoke will not reach him. (3) The higher Tntey rises, the thicker the smoke gets. Tntey falls to his hands and knees wheezing, the inhalation risk only getting worse. His eyes water, his nostrils and throat burn, and his head aches, the faintest clutches of unconsciousness begin to seize him.
Hawk bears down once again on the USS Gull to finish what he has started. (2 vs. 9) He swoops down to attack, but this time accelerates too fast and nearly crashes into the command center structure. Hawk evades out of the way, his wing barely clipping the ship.
Immaterial jumps out of his autocannon seat and rushes down to the deck, assured that he would be damned if NAV and himself were not the the last two combatants standing. "You're coming with me!" Immaterial tells him as he hoists the soldier across his shoulder in a fireman's carry. (3) Immaterial takes a few steps before his knees give out and he collapses. "Actually...if we both could walk there....that would...work too.." He says between heavy panting.
Nanobones sells shit like a fertilizer merchant when his new arrival of baseball goods comes in. (4) This time, even with his best encouragement and salsemenship, customers have little to no interest in baseball. "Come on, these are relics of a past time! Buy them!"

Round 11: Showdown at the Bay
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Hawk performs his usual routine attack on the USS Gull, as Immaterial and NAV get out of their man-pile and run towards the anti-air guns. (10 vs. 1) Hawk sets his targeting system directly onto the position of both heat signatures below him. The Belgian Special Forces makes body armor that can withstand vicious blades or small arms fire from crime organizations or terrorists. Byzantine Plate Armor was invulnerable to the most well-made attack of sword or arrow from Western Europe. Neither set of excellent armor was made to withstand a direct volley of from a fighter jet. Case in point: the pile of body parts, fluids, and armor that faintly resembles the two combatants that were just here standing there a moment ago. Hawk flies away, leaving the ship in peace.

Tntey continues to try and escape the deathly smoke. (3-1) Tntey tugs on the rope, but finds that his arm is too weak to make a yanking motion and slips right off. He weakly searches for the rope again but he can't even see it, nor anything else. He collapses to the floor the basket, wheezing and convulsing. His last waking moments are spent resisting the urge to breathe, but eventually his endurance is compromised. With no pilot, the balloon gradually descends into the forest and the fire engulfing it.
Nanobones indirectly smoked out Tntey!
+ Article: Opel Rekord Series E: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Rekord_Series_E) + Opel Rekord Series E Sedan
Nanobones's intuition tells him to leave his kiosk and venture off for now. He must leave the store in the hands of someone loyal, trustworthy, someone who will carry on his tradition of capitalism and consumerism and improve it to levels never seen before. "Hey you," Nanobones says to a random teenage kid standing on the corner. "Watch my store for a little bit. I'll pay you later." Nanobones grabs a trusty wooden Lousville Slugger, the emblem of an era of not only baseball but American culture, and carries it with him towards the Bay. His boots sink into the soft sand; a jet fighter spits rounds onto a ship and flies away. It's just him and that ship left. His grip hardens around his bat, he's ready.
Croatian National Fire Services begin to respond to the large spontaneous forest fire on the Southern edge of the country.

((Well good game Hawk. Good game Immaterial.))
-
((Agreed. My only regret is that I couldn't kill you. :P))
-
((I'm surprised I made it this far. I usually die in the first few rounds in these. Now I just need to avoid crashing... I think I might've jinxed myself just now.))
Let Nanobones feel how napalm burns.

I forgot about the bat, assets include any acquisitions you make during the game.
Also, I know I can't give advice to players that would give them an advantage, so I casually suggest you review your options. Unless you just want to be the bad ass motherfucker trying to shoot down a military grade armored vehicle with a pistol like you were Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan, go ahead.

Round 12: The Final Duel
Location: Kupari, Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia)
Nanobones looks peers at the Silver Sword twisting and turning through the Croatian skies. The renegade closes one of his eyes and extends a pointer finger at the plane, his opened eye briefly glowing red. "Gotcha'." Nanobones plans to extract Vengeance on Hawk for all the lives he's destroyed, all...two, of them. Horrible. Hawk is literally Kim Jong Stalin. The next part of Nanobones plans involves jumping into the water and swimming for his life towards the USS Gull, his only hope in defeating the lightning fast Sword. (1) As the plane circles overhead, Nanobones dives under the water to conceal his movement from the plane. He begins fantasizing about his revenge, roaring like a beast as the Gull's tear through the Silver Sword, causing Hawk to crash land on the bay. Injured and stuck under the wreckage of his plane, Hawk would be helpless as Nano would slowly walk up to him and place the barrel of his revolver against his skull...
Hawk circles around the Bay, waiting for any signs of his opponent, his finger anxiously hovering over the mechanism to drop another load of napalm. Several minutes pass and there's no sign of Nanobones...where did he go? Did he escape under the cover of night? Is he hiding in the ship? Did he somehow get the ability to become invisible? What if he can do all sorts of crazy magic? That wouldn't be good. In his crisis of losing a target, Hawk watches his radar flicker. It shifts from its normal mode to display, in pixelated letters, 'YOU WIN!' Hawk reclines in his cockpit. "...Okay."
Nanobones got so excited over being a bad ass that he dove way too deep.
Hawk132 wins Game 1!!!
Surely that was the satisfying finale that everyone was waiting for. This marks the first game of Wikipedia Warfare to be completed, but stay tuned, because Game 2 will be up shortly featuring a totally revamped system.

Congrats Hawk. What a win!
Quick question, are the 3 hunting dogs in the fighter jet's cockpit? Because that would be adorable and amazing.

No, they were waiting for Hawk on the ground, never picked up by him. So you have to ask yourself, did he really win after all?

I would use the wikipedia article for whatever wiki page it was. Once you leave wikipedia, anything can happen, there's all sorts of crazy independent wikis out there.
-
That was fun. Waitlist, please.
-
Woo! Contrary to my expectations throughout the whole game, I actually won.
So, Nanobones took a dive to dodge and accidentally cracked his skull? A little anticlimactic, but I'll take it.
Put me in the waitlist too!
-
What is the supposed prize, other than glory of combat, if any, for victory?
Ideas:
Champ starts with 1 random wiki article from their last list.
Champ can reroll 1 article.
Audience can vote via poll a wiki article for champ to keep.
Hell maybe just let them keep all their articles and appear as a guest boss.
Keep all articles and appear on a special champ vs champ edition when there are enough for a full game.
I suppose the in-canon reward is becoming super powerful.
-
Perhaps the champion could get the option of choosing any Wikipedia article with at least 10 other Wikipedia links in it. Then the next time they play, they just get a randomly chosen 5 of those links as their Wikipedia articles. Just an idea.
-
I can't wait for the next game!
-
Give the Champion a tactical bowl of Gumbo. One round, +5 on all actions that overides other bonuses.
-
I wouldn't really want to give anyone a special advantage, and I believe that any rewards given out should be done so that they make the game more fun for everyone. What if the Champion(s) of each round get to choose the starting location of the next Game? (Remember that if the Game ends with a victory for the Heroes, the whole team is considered to be Champions.)
Woo! Contrary to my expectations throughout the whole game, I actually won.
So, Nanobones took a dive to dodge and accidentally cracked his skull? A little anticlimactic, but I'll take it.
Put me in the waitlist too!
Canonically, Nanobones was so hyped about murdering you and becoming the Champion that he dove way too deep and disappeared. He likely hit his head on something, drowned, or was swallowed whole by a basking shark.

Game II
Round 1: Cheesetown
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
What comes to your mind when Wisconsin is mentioned? The mighty cheese industry? The prestigious Green Bay Packers? It's going to be either one or both of those things, because Wisconsin doesn't really have anything else. Certainly not in the sleepy, quiet town of Denmark, which bears no resemblance to the Viking-Kingdom-Turned-Socialist-Drug-Utopia. Denmark, WI, has a population of a little over 2,000, a few roads and buildings, and is identical to the many small towns that are scattered throughout the Mid-west United States.
That changes today.
Today, 10 souls battle for the glory of the Gods, but this time there's a twist; several more are already on their way, ready to jump in as soon as combatants begin to eliminate one another. One of these many contestants will be blessed with a vast array of superhuman abilities, and it will be up to the survivors to stop them. But for now, it's merely a free-for-all as an invisible bell bellows throughout the town, signaling the beginning of the tournament.
Andres steps out of the local fire department donning a Fireproof Suit, stuffed with concealed weapons. A hefty Fire Extinguisher is strapped to the back of his suit. His hair-do puts his luscious golden locks on display and occasionally a green liquid escapes from his maw.
Powder Miner looks down upon the town from a hill, stroking his chin. "This looks like a fine planet to colonize, is it not?" He asks his muscular servant who responds with an affirmative grunt.
Megggas runs through the streets of the town, waving around sugar packets and forceps. "GOD WILL TAKE NO PITY ON YOU SINNERS! ALL OF YOU ARE SINNERS! REPENT OR FACE THE ETERNAL HELLFIRE!" People evacuate the sidewalks to get out of Meggas's way, who dashes through the roads with no regards to traffic. This leads to him getting hit by a pick-up truck going at about 50 miles per hour. Meggas flies across the road and hits the pavement, but instead of lying there hurt or dead, he immediately jumps to his feet, looking no worse than if he had tripped over a rock.
Peradon exits out of an electronics shop decked out like a warrior from a fantasy novel. He jumps around assuming a Kung-Fu stance, ready to pounce on the first combatant he sees. When it's clear that no one has spotted him yet, he gets down on one knee and begins action-rolling away....
Abstract throws away his sandwich wrapper and begins cruising down the street, his leather jacket and jeans combined with his short haircut make it clear that he's a man from a rough place, and he's got the means to take care of business. He mutters to himself, "I will take care of these punks like Vazytiknov took care of the Russian Extra-Stimulus Action Program in the Fall of 2002. Yah."
High Tyrol rides into town on his Horse, removing a Cigar from his mouth and exhaling. "Let's see how many revolutionary scum we can kill today Monsieur," he says to his trusted mount as he takes his Musket out of its holster.
Tomasque stands up on a table in Gun Show, a local restaurant. "Ladies and Gentlemen of America, I promise you that I am the best candidate running for President and I will prove this by winning the Wiki-Warfare Grand Tournament. I will leave my opponents like I left that sonva'bitch in Vietnam who threw a grenade at me...he won't be competing in this, that's for sure, heh heh..." Tomasque exits the restaurant to a round of unsure and awkward applause.
Ukranian Ranger is substituting for a Science Teacher at the Denmark Public High School when the Bell sounds. "That's all for today kids. Read pages 80 through 102 in the textbook tonight. You have a free period until your next class." He briskly walks out; one of the students peeks his head out of the door. "Mr. Ranger, why are you in such a hurry?" Ranger stops for a second and then responds, "I have something to prove. For myself. For science." He grips his metallic right hand and exits the school.
Execute/Dumbo exits a clothing store wearing a new fine fur coat; a permanent scowl marking his face as if everything that he could see was going to try and stab him in the back. "Yuri," he says to his subject, an aristocrat in a Thick Woolen Coat, "I believe it's time for me to take a new throne." The Boyar bows, "Of course it is your majesty, and I happily pledge you my services."
"That's some big cheese." Pikorge stares at the main attraction of Denmark, a cheese named 'Steve's Cheese', a 2-and-a-half block of cheese. "Damn. Oh wait, that's the bell. Gotta' go." Pikorge leaves, readying his sword for battle, still thinking about all that cheese. Just sitting there.

"Well! This seems all fine and dandy for enslaving and colonizing. A quaint little place. JAFFA! I want you to shoot anyone besides me who gets too close. I'm going to look for a good stick or something."
Order the Jaffa to shoot anyone who ventures too close, look for something to smack someone with in the immediate vicinity. A stick?

(So I can basically nuke the whole town? Awesome! Though, after doing some quick research, it doesn't seem like Denmark, Wisconsin has much "Sin of Lust" going on. It would probably do more damage if I used it to target a brothel or something, but then I would have to try to get other players to come to the same place. Oh well, if I use the judgement fire early enough while there are still plenty of targets in town, I might kill somebody.)
"I WARNED YOU! WHEN YOUR JUDGEMENT COMES, KNOW THAT I WARNED ALL OF YOU!"
Use my exploration skills to find an entrance to the sewer and head down. Once I'm underground, call the Wrath of God Upon the Sodomites upon the entire town.
If I can't find a way to the sewers and someone tries to kill me, then instead run into heavy traffic to escape my pursuers.

Guess Wikipedia wasn't feeling like vehicular combat this round.
I went through hundreds of random articles, but no boats nor aircraft showed up, not even some car model that was around in the earlier part of the twentieth century. The closest article I got was giving High tyrol a Horse from a Dragoon Colonel.

You can definitely duel wield a Switchblade and a Revolver. However, Switchblades are even thinner than regular knives, so they can not block bullets. Even if a bullet did hit your switchblade, which is very unlikely, the switchblade would most likely break and the bullet would pass through and hit you anyways.
Armed Robbery is not a part of Economics. Maybe you could write a paper on the effects of Robbery on either a macro or micro level for Economics, but actually doing it does not activate your bonus.
You are from Azerbaijan, which is not part of Russia, although it was under the U.S.S.R. and shares a border from Russia. So you are not Russian, but it's close enough that you can keep saying 'Da' over and over, which I'm sure people do in every Post-Soviet country. Or just to be funny. Da, comrade.
Children are my allies and AbstractTraitorHero is stealing from children so they can't afford food so they'll die and I'll avenge their deaths by killing AbstractTraitorHero with my pistol!
You can not just declare someone to be your Ally, the position of Allies is agreed upon by both parties; if you do get any Allies, they will be listed under Assets. Allies at the moment include Powder Miner's Jaffa Servant and Execute's Loyal Boyar Subject.

Perhaps the champion could get the option of choosing any Wikipedia article with at least 10 other Wikipedia links in it. Then the next time they play, they just get a randomly chosen 5 of those links as their Wikipedia articles. Just an idea.
I wouldn't really want to give anyone a special advantage, and I believe that any rewards given out should be done so that they make the game more fun for everyone. What if the Champion(s) of each round get to choose the starting location of the next Game? (Remember that if the Game ends with a victory for the Heroes, the whole team is considered to be Champions.)
Ohh I like the idea of some sort of meta mechanic involving links found on a wiki article. Perhaps when you kill someone you can choose one of their pages to absorb a random linked article? Just one example.
A famous wikipedia game is to try to find links from one article to another in the fewest jumps, would be perhaps appropriate to incorperate it if GM believes so, too.
I like the location idea, perhaps it should not be a 1-to-1 choose location, but perhaps narrowing it in some way.

"Hey guys, I know kung fu..."
Proceed to spin-kick-kung-fu-crazy-stuff into the nearest opponent. Hopefully taking advantage of my broadsword...
The Kung-Fu bonus does not apply to the Broadsword, because it is Western-styled in nature, thus it isn't built for Eastern Martial Arts. Something like a Chinese Dao would be able to be combined with Kung-Fu.

Okay. If you want to RP your character as a crazy guy who robs children and reflects bullets with the economics of knives, that's fine too. It's not the most effective way to win, but if you think it's fun, go for it.

"Come, Yuri, one should always know when to retreat and when to advance, and for now, our skillsets are not very applicable to the task at hand."
Retreat, diplomacy my way with some of the native residents for directions to some sort of paint store, is successful, go to said store, if not, flee to some secluded area, preferably with a large amount of easily cowed residents.

Try attacking dumbo with my sword and go for the belly. If someone interferes, use same tactic on them.

Round 2: It's Raining Death, Hallelujah
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin) [Boundary Dissipates in 1 Turn]
Abstract creepily hovers over a local playground, smoking on a cigarette as he watches innocent children at play. He casually strides up to a gang of kids, where he draws a Revolver from inside his pants and a Switchblade from his pocket. "Give me your money you little shits! Gimme'!" The children begin screaming and emptying the contents of their pockets at Abstract, which includes some money but is mainly just random junk that children carry around. (+$11.35, 4 Packs of Gum, Pencil, Candy, Slinky, Nintendo 3DS) The Revolver was overkill, a six foot tall scary looking man yelling at them would have been more than enough to scare them into giving up their loot. Some nearby parents investigate the source of all of their children screaming and crying. As they move to confront Abstract, he angrily waves the gun at them. "Stop! I kill you!" The parents scoop up their kids and run for, now equally as scared as the tots. "Yes! Run! This playground belongs to Mother Russia Azerbaijan now, haha!"
Peradon is crouch-walking down town, palms open as if he is ready to attack someone with a chop to the neck at a moment's notice. He sees Pikorge walking down the street, and figures that he has to start Kung-Fu'ing one way or another. Pikorge meanwhile is strutting along when he hears someone sprinting behind him. Twisting around, he sees Peradon charge and leap into the air, spinning around. (10 vs. 5) Peradon's heel slams against Pikorge's chest, allowing his metal Breastplate to take the brunt of the attack, denting the armor slightly but leaving him uninjured. The force of the attack does send him sprawling down to the ground, his sword falling out of his grip. The impact of the fall has also Dazed him a bit.
Megggas continues hollering about the End of Days while traffic weaves around him. "JUDGEMENT COMETH! REPENT SINNERS!" Knowing that now is the time to call upon the Holy Father, Megggas pokes around town looking for an entrance to the sewer system. (10+2) Megggas finds a loose manhole within seconds and dives on inside, being careful to leave the lid manhole partially uncovered so that he has a way to escape if the time comes for it. Megggas sings his hymns, which echo off the filthy walls and putrid water, sending rats, roaches and other vermin scattering. In front of a pile of refuse, Megggas kneels. "Lord, I beg that you come and hear my cries! Holiest Father, I pray that you take your Divine Wrath and thrust it upon the sinners of this Earth!"
The garbage pile stands up and takes on the anthropomorphic form of a man. "My child, I have come." Megggas squeals like a small child and bows to the bottom of the possessed trash.
"Finally, I meet you in the flesh, stinky flesh it may be! My Lord, take out your Wrath on the people of Denmark!"
God slowly nods. "Yes, I am glad that someone finally recognizes those materialist sinners for, those hedonistic non-believers, I shall wipe that nation-"
Megggas perks his head up, "Denmark, Wisconsin actual."
"....You mean that tiny town in the American Mid-West."
"Yes."
"....Um. Sure. There's a few wrongdoers here. There's been a few cases of buttsex. I think. Maybe. Look, I'll call down a few chunks of Holy Fire and see what happens, but chill." The trash loses it's heavenly glow and falls back to the ground.
Abstract loiters in the playground, counting up his money and munching on a pack of stolen Skittles, when he hears someone call out to him. "Hey asshole!" Abstract looks up to see Andres about ten yards away from him with his Pistol drawn and pointed at him. (9 vs. 1) Before Abstract can move, Andres lines up a shot with his iron sights and hits the Azberjaiani in the head. A spray of blood bursts out of Abstract's head as he jerks backwards, landing on the playground mulch and staining it red. The police arrive shortly thereafter, called to the scene after reports of an armed gunman, only to come across the scene. "Thanks," an officer says to Andres, "That saves us a lot of trouble."
Abstract was domed by Andres!
+Article: Countryliner: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countryliner) +Countryliner Bus
Ukranian Ranger looks around the area for a good surface to carve an Alchemy Circle into. (6) At first he can't find anything suitable, trees are too uneven to make a solid circle in, and brick and concrete are too hard for him to dig into. Eventually, he settles for a patch of dirt near the road, which isn't the most solid material to use, but it still works. A few minutes of focused carving and the circle is finished, but as he begins his first incantation, he notices something bright falling from the sky. (8) Ranger ducks his head as a ball of fire lands several yards away from him, hitting the ground and exploding. He looks at the crater, which glows much more brightly than any normal fire would.
Execute brings himself and his subject over to a bus stop where they greet a resident. "Salutations Native! I, the Prestigious Holy Execute/Dumbo.exe, Prince of the Mighty Rus Empire, beseeches your knowledge as henceforth to the shoppe of paint."
"Oh, there's some paint down at the hardware store. Just take a left at the-" The man's speech is interrupted as a nearby stop sign spontaneously explodes.
Execute steps back and the civilian runs for it, "What in-" (6) Another explosion erupts in front of Execute, but the Boyar dives in front of him. Execute is still thrown back by the force of it, tumbling onto the asphalt. He gets up moments later, unhurt but dusty, while the Boyar has sustained cuts and burns on his face. His clothing is all ruined and burn to a crisp, but it did save him from worse injuries.
Pikorge dazedly tries to get back on his feet after being accosted by a ninja. (6) He gets up although he is still a little wobbly from the attack. He scoops up his Broadsword and points it waveringly at Peradon. "I have no....ugh...no quarrel with you! Leave before I cleave you in two!" He yells, slightly off balance.
Powder Miner commands his Jaffa to have his Laser Rifle ready to shoot any Earthling that comes too close. While the Jaffa primes his gun, Powder looks around for anything in the nearby vicinity that could be improvised as a tool for face-smacking. (3) The only thing that could potentially be used on this hill as any sort of weapon are some small twigs and the odd pebble, not anything that would strike authority and pain into someone. "Master, look at the sky." The Jaffa points towards the Heavens, and P.M. watches as several balls of fire descend upon the town, landing on buildings and streets, starting fires.
High tyrol looks down at the town of Denmark as it is lit on fire by the bombardment of the skies. "You know what Monsieur?" He asks rhetorically asks his Horse. "Let's not go to Denmark, it is a silly place." He turns his mount around and rides off.
High tyrol has withdrawn from the game.
Person drives into town in his fancy old-school sports car, coming to a screeching halt on the main road. He looks around, Kurdish army uniform draped around his body, pistol at his hip, a WWII-era Russian machine gun sitting next to him in the passenger's seat.
Lermfish walks into town, literally glowing. He stretches out his hand and a songbird lands in it. He pets the bird before letting it fly away once more.
News Report: The town of Denmark, Wisconsin, known for being this year's designated starting point for the Annual Wiki-Wars, was subjected to a sudden meteor shower today. The shower has resulted in 2 deaths, 7 injuries, and property damage in the tens of thousands. The shower is reportedly on-going. Locals have begun fleeing from the area while emergency respondents are on-route, waiting for the shower to pass before moving in to prevent anymore tragedies.

"Oh, good sight Jaffa. This will make my cleanup job easier later, and we can just crawl inside some people and get them to work for us." He sighs, however. "I just wish I'd found a stick before. I've always said that one of the greatest joys of having a host body is going medieval on some poor bastard with something heavy. Can't get that crawling around in normal form."
Continue the hunt for a stick or something, anywhere on the outskirts of the town! Just... not entering the town itself.

"Looks like I'm late for the party. Still, I'm glad I wasn't here when all those meteors rained down from the sky. I'll never be mad at a red light again, seeing as they might have saved my life."
Drive towards the nearest combatant with my car. If I reach them, gun them down with my PPSh. Otherwise, drive carefully until I find a combatant. If it would take too much time to stop my vehicle and exit it to attack(it probably does), do it as a drive by assault.
(This car DOES have an open top, so a drive by would probably be easier than most cars. Not that I'm expecting stellar accuracy while firing a fairly hefty sub machine gun from a moving vehicle. Also I have no driving bonus so this is all around a terrible idea.)

I wouldn't really want to give anyone a special advantage, and I believe that any rewards given out should be done so that they make the game more fun for everyone.

I used to host a card based arena game. The prize was that the winner could create a "legendary card" to be added to next games deck. While other cards were very basic, there only being 4, legendary cards had specific instructions usually, or what ever they wanted. But the more powerful the rarer it would appear.

You could always have the winners of each round face off in a duel of some sort? Sort of like an extra bracket of fights. Sort of like a title match for champion of champions or whatever. Not sure how many players it would start with, but hey. Also I guess that assumes there's going to be a lot of finished rounds, which I certainly hope is the case.

Hipster GameBoyBlue(that's me), retroactively approves:
What is the supposed prize, other than glory of combat, if any, for victory?
Ideas:
Champ starts with 1 random wiki article from their last list.
Champ can reroll 1 article.
Audience can vote via poll a wiki article for champ to keep.
Hell maybe just let them keep all their articles and appear as a guest boss.
Keep all articles and appear on a special champ vs champ edition when there are enough for a full game.
I suppose the in-canon reward is becoming super powerful.

Edit: though they may differ on whether or not the champs keep the articles or not. I favor yes, because then it would be a "best of" in a character sense and not just players, and its fun to see characters come back, once in awhile.
Edit: Or just let the champs themselves vote to start fresh or keep.
-
Ah, I forgot about that post. Seems great minds think alike. Hey, maybe if champ vs champ edition becomes a thing, players could keep their existing articles, but get another set of 5 for added !!FUN!!? (How do people punctuate that it's the last "word" in a sentence anyway?) Might even the odds a little if we get some low powered winners for some reason. Extra side note, I've been putting articles on index cards and making some sort of irl deck for this. If anything ever happens with that(it probably won't), I might post the results somewhere.

You have your first tester. I can be reached in real time on google hangouts or facebook. Skype not so much, problems loading it.
-
Well I was planning on grabbing a few people I know and sitting them down, but hell, if a real time session could be arranged online somehow I honestly don't see a problem with that. Skype would have been my first choice though, shame. IRC maybe? Who knows? Anyway it wouldn't so much be a test as an adaption. The testing is basically all finished at this point due to all the forum threads, barring a few "quality of life" additions like the microchip language thing, and some other stuff I don't really remember at the moment. But enough about that for now, lets get back on topic. PM me if you want to keep going.

Round 3: Alchemy Violates the Geneva Convention
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin) [Boundary Dissipated]
Powder Miner stays on the edge of town, not yet entering its borders as holy fire continues to rain down upon the town, his Jaffa Servant stands in front of him scanning the perimeter for danger, Laser Rifle in hand. Powder himself continues the search for some sort of whacking utensil. (4) And finally, after several ardous minutes of being hunkered down towards the ground, the Goa'uld comes across a small stick, not as big as he would hope, but it's about a foot long and most likely wouldn't break when being smashed across someone's face. At the same time, it doesn't carry the authority that walking around with a big stick would.
Lermfish takes a detour from the town to walk into a small patch of forest nearby. His goal is to find the most vicious, fearsome predators of the forest, and become their BFF's. (8) Among the trees and brush he finds a wolf gnawing on the carcass of a rabbit. Lerm moves down to pet the beast which stops tearing away at the vermin to eye him skeptically. Lerm pets the wolf on the head, and instantly it becomes docile, wagging its tail and letting its tongue hang out, dripping blood onto Lerm's shoes. (+Ally: Wolf Companion)
With the Alchemist's Circle complete, Ukranian Ranger places his hand in the center of the inscriptions and holds his breath. (2) A toxic cloud of yellow-brown begins to form around him, but by holding his breath he is able to avoid inhaling any. As it swirls around him, Ranger feels a burning sensation to the gas, and can sense the faintest scent of mustard. Uh oh. (6) Forget trying to analyze where the cloud will go with atmospheric analysis, U.R. just runs the hell out of there as his flesh burns. He gets away from the cloud, his whole body feeling as if it were melting off. Blisters and burns form across his exposed arm, (his metallic arm is unharmed) face, and neck; the pain is so great that he must work to stay conscious. On the bright side, his eyes and internal organs have not been damaged, which would please Ranger if he wasn't screaming from the depths of his lungs and trying not to pass out.
Peradon switches his fighting style up by exchanging his fists for a steel Broadsword. He swings the sword in a downward arc, as Pikorge readies for a chance to counter-attack, drawing his own blade. (1 vs. 10-1+2) Even dazed, Pikorge is able to retain the reactions that he had developed over years of training in melee combat, particularly against swords, pikes and muskets. Peradon meanwhile, is untrained with the unwieldly Broadsword and awkwardly lifts it. Instead of blocking or parrying, Pikorge immediately goes for a stab as Peradon hoists his sword up, exposing his stomach in the process. (3+2+4 vs. 6) The thrust is not a particularly powerful one, but between all the circumstances from Peradon's exposed position and Pikorge's excellent technique, the blade manages to pierce through Peradon's Plate Armor and sink a few inches into his belly. Peradon drops his blade in shock as he feels the metal tearing through his flesh.
Megggas explores the sewer, looking around for useful that might have been discarded. Megggas does not mind poking around in the trash; what others would call scavenging he calls 'resourcefulness'. (6+2) In a pile of wooden refuse, Megggas comes across a Broken Table Leg. It could suffice as either as a bludgeoning weapon or an improvised tool, possibly to construct traps with. Taking the leg, Megggas heads back to the manhole he used to enter the sewers. He pushes it to the side, peeking his head out onto the streets of Denmark to see if it is still raining explosives. Sure enough, a few fireballs are still coming down upon the burning town, but it looks like it has calmed down and should be over soon. He spies a herd of firetrucks bustling down the road towards some burning structures.
Pikorge could be worse off in the duel with Peradon, having disarmed the latter and currently having his Officer's Sword pushed into his abdomen. (9+2+2-1 vs. 5) With a mighty lunge, Pikorge pushes the blade in further, completely running Peradon through until the tip of the sword cuts through his spinal column. Peradon goes limp instantly, and Pikorge gives him one piece of advice as he shoves Peradon off from his blade, "Should have stuck with your spin-kicks." The light fades from Peradon's eyes as Pikorge shakes his head slightly, no longer Dazed.
Pikorge shish'kabobed Peradon!
+ Article: Rover 200 Coupe: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_200_Coup%C3%A9) +Rover 200 Coupe
"Come Yuri! We must escape the fire from above!" Execute runs through the Denmark streets with Yuri, dodging the occasional fireball. They were having much worse luck with God's Wrath than any of the other contestants, perhaps they were loitering around a den of sexual sin? Or maybe they themselves were Sodomites? In any case, the Rus'ians run for the door of a small hunting store, only for the building to get bombarded by a fireball before they get close. Execute puts his palms to his head and expresses his frustration verbally.
Person wanders the streets in his Austin-Healey 100, blasting old school Hip Hop from the radio. Traffic is keeping him from moving very fast, today's traffic featuring civilians on foot and cars hurriedly escaping from the city while ambulances and firetrucks pour in. He turns a corner to spot Tomasque on the streets, muttering to himself about how, "All the other candidates get to speak. Why don't I get to speak? Lousy debates..." Now, a typical combatant might stop the car, trail his target for a little bit and then attack him when he least expects it. Person sees typical combatants as 'weak scrubs' while he is a Mutthafuckin' G, of course. He displays how he could this title by putting his sports car on cruise control, grabbing his PPSh, rolling down his convertible top and standing up on his seat, the upper-half of his body now above the car. (6+2 vs. 5+2) Person sprays his sub-machine gun at Tomasque, hitting him in the right thumb. The shock of getting shot freezes Tomasque for a second, but his military reflexes allow him to dive through the ground, causing the remaining drive-by shots to miss, instead hitting a few brick walls, breaking a few windows and embedding into a few streetlamps. (4) The car, without a driver, veers off the road and into a curb, coming to a sudden halt which slams Person into the side of the roof, bruising the right side of his ribs.
Tomasque gets up from the sidewalk and checks the damages. In the drive-by, his thumb got pretty torn up, which will inhibit his overall dexterity and two-handed effectiveness, but he doesn't mind it too much otherwise. "Well, alrighty then. I went through way worse back in 'Nam, heh." He drinks one can of Shloer soda, walking up to the stop where Person is recovering from his fender-bender. Tomasque tosses his empty soda can at the Austin-Healey and draws his WWII Officer's Pistol with his Left Hand. "I'll keep punks off like you off the street when I'm president!" (1+1 vs. 4+1) Person ducks back down into his car as Tomasque empties his clip out into the vehicle, breaking the rear window but failing to hit Person. "Come out here and fight me like a man!" Person honors Tomasque's request and fires a single shot from the cover of the driver's seat out the back. (7+2 vs. 9+2) Tomasque ducks as the shot misses his head by about a foot, "Woah there!"
The Cloud of Mustard Gas begins moving with the wind, which at this moment happens to be in the same direction as Ukranian Ranger. "No! Get back!" Ranger runs yelling at the Cloud as if it were sentient. (4-2) He runs his hardest, but with trying to sprint and fight off the pain proves to be to much as the Cloud moves in to consume its creator. Ukranian Ranger does get a final silver lining, at least the he goes into a shock-induced coma before he is consumed.
The Cloud of Mustard Gas has devoured Ukranian Ranger!
Fr0stByt3 swims into Denmark from a nearby lake, her dog paddling behind her. The two of them get onto dry land and she changes out of her swimsuit into dry casual clothing as her dog shakes itself off. "Look at this idyllic town being overrun by filthy capitalists, Dog. Come, let us win this tournament for the undying glory of the Soviet Union!"
GameBoyBlue is ready for a fight; a pistol holstered on her hip, a rapier sheathed on the other side, and a musket slung across her back. In addition, a loyal Medabot stands by her side. "What is your operative master?" GameBoyBlue squints her eyes, scouting the ongoing fighting from a distance. "Medabot, new command: Victory."
Breaking News: The spontaneous meteor shower in Denmark, Wisconsin has ended, with a total of 5 deaths, 12 injuries and over $80,000 in property damage. Emergency response teams have arrived to tend to the wounded and to put out fires. While the shower has stopped, officials are keeping the city evacuated as there are reports of a cloud of toxic gas that is moving in from the North. Officials speculate this was the result of a chemical leak, possibly caused by the meteor shower.

If anyone was wondering, each player had a small chance to face an 'encounter' with the Holy Fire and have to Roll to avoid it. The Hunting Shop featured in Execute's Turn had a slightly higher (since buildings are larger and immobile) but still low possibility of getting struck.

"Tsk, perhaps we should retreat from this area for greener pastures, temporarily, of course."
Paintstore? Art gallery? Either of these would work.
Also, send out Yuri to hide and keep track of me or whoever may be following me, if he spots someone he deems to be a threat, he is to sneak up on them and assassinate them, use my military strategy to find a good spot for Yuri to hide in and shadow me.

"Argh, that probably won't buff right out."
Get out of the car and take cover behind it. Take a few shots at Tomasque with my PPSh whenever I can.

Good fight peradon. ( Bows with respect.)
Take Peradon his belongings and place them in my car, keep the swords close by but make sure they can't stab me.
Drive away from the north.
If I spot an enemy, attack by ramming them with my car.
-
(The broken table leg is one my assets, right?)
Exit the sewers and explore the south side of town in search of a store that has been abandoned. Go inside and grab any useful weapons, armor, trap components, and medical supplies that I can find. If I can't get inside, then break one of the windows using my broken table leg. If this fails, then look around for an abandoned car I can steal.

The Articles were conceived as a pure gameplay mechanic (I've started giving everyone Article-related introductions to add some flair to each character), so you can roleplay your explanation for them however you want; your character's history and specifications are up to you.

I likely intend to play this more than just this time, so to help me become more attached to my character, I will name them Angelina Silva. Portuguese for "messenger of the forest".

Does having a loyal Medabot imply, I also possess a MedaWatch?
A MedaWatch, I've learned, is a tech that allows me to store the MedaBot's medal, a physical respresentation of its' mind and soul, when it is offline.
The wearer may then teleport the Medabot to their side when needed, and insert the medal back in to reactivate the bot.

Oh, forget.
To help me get to the paint supply store:
Use MedaBot's internal GPS
Investigating and Evidence Analysis to determine where Execute/Dumbo.exe is likely to go, having used Lawful means to learn about him, previously.
And of course my hobby in Painting should likely assist me in finding it aswell.
Edit: DO NOT FOLLOW or engage Dumbo if spotted. Just enter the paint supply store.

As I've stated before, the Articles are defined fairly strictly. The Investigation and Evidence Analysis will come into play, as that is what is literally being performed in the action. Law will not apply, as it pertains to Actions in the field of law, which is not applicable to the current situation or doing some action "lawfully". (If the action was about actually discerning whether an action was legal or not, then the bonus would be applied.) The Painting Article does not apply because being skilled or interested in a subject does not correlate with knowing where all the stores in that area would be.

Round 4: Art Thugz
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Person's car hit the curb and gave him a jolt; and while the paint job on the front will suffer, there was no non-cosmetic, until Tomasque began shooting through the rear window. During the brief opportunity where Tomasque is reloading his pistol, Person slams open the front door and runs to the other side of the car, ducking down underneath it. He pops up, spraying more shots in Tomasque's direction. (9+2 vs. 3+2) Two of the bullets sink into Tomasque's abdomen, causing him to stagger backwards.
Lermfish heads deeper into the woods in search of more animals to befriend, his Wolf Companion following him by his side. (10) On his way, Lerm spots a soft brown face with a squishy nose staring at him from the interior of a bush with its black beady eyes. "Hey little guy," Lermfish says, extending his hand. The woodland creature exits the bush, or rather, as the creature stands the bush gives way. It is a bear. "Oh. You're not so little. Do you want to come along." The bear eagerly nods. (+Ally: Bear Companion)
Powder Miner retrieves the Small Stick, intending to turn it into a proper smacking tool. He marches into town with his Jaffa, searching for someone to demonstrate the power of the stick on. The two of them happen upon an EMT kneeling down in front of a burning house, performing CPR on an unconscious human. The medic, focused completely on administering aid, is taken by complete surprise when Miner smacks him upside the head with a stick. "What in the-" The medic shakes his head and furiously glares at P.M., but his glare softens when he notices the bulky Jaffa standing besides him casually swinging the War Staff back and forth in his hand. The EMT puts his hands up, "Please, I don't know why you would do this...there are people who need help and you thugs are taking advantage of them to loot their stuff..."
Megggas peeks around and with the firestorm over, he exits the sewers and gets back onto the now deserted road. With the city abandoned, he heads towards one of the unoccupied stores in search of goods. (4+2) Megggas enters a drugstore that's been partially damaged by the firestorm, but still looks like it could contain useful items. The door is locked, but he manages to enter through the broken front window, (2) with an attempt to hurtle that lands him falling face-first into a pile of shattered glass, which gives him cuts all over the front of his body from the waist-up.
Pikorge bows respectfully to the body of Peradon, who put up an honorable fight. He takes Peradon's Broadsword, (it would take too long to strip him of his armor, plus Pikorge is already suited up) and brings it over to his fancy Rover 200 Coupe. He throws the Broadsword and his Officer's Sword on the floorboard of the backseat, insuring that if he has to break sharply the sword don't impale him. He gets in the driver's seat and puts down the road, heading Southwards and ready to flatten any opposition in his way. Pikorge passes ambulances and firefighters, but there is no sign of any opponents; he reaches the southern edge of the town with no issues.
Tomasque is bleeding everywhere; man, this actually was worse than anything he went through in 'Nam. (9) Despite bleeding all over the road, Tom is able to stay on his feet, if a bit wobbly, a retrieve his Really Spiky Plant in a Pot. "You think a few shots with the peashooter is all it takes to stop ole' Tom? You must be crazy! Have a plant!" His attempt at witty combat repertoire is followed by him chucking the plant over the car at Person's position. (4 vs. 2) The actual plant fails to hit Person, but the pot lands a glancing blow off his head before shattering on the sidewalk.
Execute and Yuri continue walking down the main street, looking for any sort of place that could contain paintings. (1) Finally, they come across a modest local store paintings downtown that looks like it is in relatively good shape. "Good news Yuri, we have finally found a destination," he states opening up the door. "Now we only-" Execute was planning to find an older, graying thin woman inside behind the counter whom he could discuss artistry with, not a fist to the face. He clutches his nose and falls to the asphalt as two bandanna-clad figures appear from the inside of the store, one of them holding a large sack carrying what undoubtedly are stolen pictures, the second wielding a crowbar.
"Bro, these dudes look crazy! They must be the motherfucking owners and they came back!"
"They wasn't supposed to come back! Fucking jump 'em, take their cash!"
Yuri sprints in front of Execute and pulls out his Dagger. "Stand back my liege, I'll hold them off!" (9 vs. 10) The bandit hoisting the paintings runs for it as the Boyar and the remaining felon duke it out in a duel of swings, neither hitting each other. Eventually, the two of them get tied up and drop to the ground, losing their weapons and engaging in a grappling match, the bandit having a slightly better position. (6 vs. 7) His attempts to choke Yuri out are all foiled as Yuri wraps up one of his arms.
Execute gets back to his feet, still nursing his bruised nose. His current plan had fell apart, if only he had realized the possibility of looters sucker-punching him in the face and messing everything up.
Angelina Silva and her Medabot set on the prowl for a paintshop, which they find in no time thanks to the Medabot's internal GPS system; Silva didn't even have to use her detective powers this time. The two of them come across Execute, who appears to be shielding his face from two bulky men tumbling around on the ground.
Andres looks at the fallen body of Abstract and realizes that he has a purpose in life; to dispose of all assholes. With his gun in his palm, he swiftly exits the playground looking for more justice to enforce. He walks around the surrounding area, looking for some jerk to pop a cap in, but it's relatively quiet where he is. There does appear to be a lot of human noise coming from the south, and in that direction he sees some concealed dude running through the streets with a big stash. To the north, he sees some sort of yellow gas seeping into the area....
[The Mustard Gas Cloud begins to descend on the northern border of the town. It is closest to Andres, Angelina Silva, Execute, and Powder Miner.]

Edit: ((Oh, right, are all the paintings stolen?))
Execute/Dumbo.exe! I can help if you don't run! I am a painter, let's team up!
If a roll is [raised] greater than 10, is it [just] considered a 10?
-
Keep firing!
(So is ammo still basically abstracted in this? Like, when do I have to reload, if at all.)

Edit: ((Oh, right, are all the paintings stolen?))
Probably not. It was a large sack, but not that large.
If a roll is [raised] greater than 10, is it [just] considered a 10?
Rolls that beyond 10 get increasingly better the higher they are. The inverse is true for rolls that are less than 1.
(So is ammo still basically abstracted in this? Like, when do I have to reload, if at all.)
Ammo itself is unlimited, and your Pistol has a Short Reload, so you don't have to worry about it. I brought it up a few games ago, but the reload system works like this:
Short Reload - The weapon can be reloaded so quickly that it only effects your gameplay in the slightest. Handguns, Sub-Machine Guns, Bows, etc.
Moderate Reload - The weapon takes some time to arm once you run out of ammunition. The reload will not take up a whole turn but it will have some effects, ex., if you wanted to counter-attack but you're weapon was empty, you would lose the opportunity to counter and have to reload again. Rifles, Shotguns, Muskets, 'Long Guns' in general, Crossbows, etc.
Long Reload - The weapon requires an extensive reload that requires an entire turn devoted purely to reloading. Rocket Launchers, Sniper Rifles, Heavy Machine Guns, etc.

Round 5: WWI Flashbacks
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Megggas gets off of the floor, looking at his lacerated, bleeding hands. He isn't in a tremendous amount of pain, but it's enough to keep ahold of his attention and prevent him from focusing on a task. He searches the drugstore for equipment to relieve him of his pain, and also to construct an improvised weapon out of. (8) His search nets him a Bottle of Painkillers, which he screws off immediately to swallow a couple of pills. He also obtains the supplies he wanted for a Molotov Cocktail, including a Dish Rag and a Bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol. He doesn't find a lighter anywhere in the wreckage of the store, but he does come across a Matchbox. He stuffs the rag into the bottle and carefully administers a single match to the end, forming a potent explosive.
Person pops out of cover once again to shoot the surprisingly resilient Tomasque, who is still standing despite already having been shot twice. (7+2 vs. 3+2) Tomasque is hit once again in the chest, and goes down instantly, obviously having been hit this time in something vital like the heart or directly through a lung. He raises his hands above him, pistol clattering to his side as he stares off into the blue sky. "Aw' shucks...and to think I coulda' be the Big Man in the Oval Office." A single tear descends from his eye as his hands go limp and his breathing ceases.
Person finally plugged Tomasque!
+Article: N.O.R.A.D.: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defense_Command) +4 Anti-Air Awareness & Combat
Execute stands over the Bandit wrestling with Yuri and begins to berate him. (9+2) "RUFFIAN, AN ARMED OFFICER MISTRESS APPROACHES WITH HER METAL DEMON OF DEATH. WITNESS!" Execute grabs the Bandit's head and forces him to turn and look at Angelina and her Medabot companion. He promptly jumps off of Yuri and runs for the North, tailing his comrade in crime. Execute offers Yuri a hand and picks him up, "Sometimes, words have just an intimidating effect as arms."
Andres picks up his movement pace, hustling towards the fleeing bandit as he cocks back the hammer on his pistol. "Hey!" This single word causes the bandit to hesitate and look back for a second, which is just what Andres needs as he puts two hands around his gun and eyes down the sights. (6 vs. 4) The single shot hits the looter in the lower leg; he screeches in pain as he topples down onto the ground.
Fr0stByt3 looks around for an Oppressed Mass to preach on the topic of Communism and finds a bunch huddled in a makeshift emergency shelter. They all look miserable and the last thing on their minds is politics, but no tragedy can stop the revolution! (8+2) In fact, this situation can be used as a tool for conversation. "My breathern, watch as your houses burn down and loved ones continue to stay lost as emergency services fail to reach them in time. This is lassiez-faire capitalism at its core, as the powers that be care not at all for the lives and well-being of its people. Isn't it time for things to change? Can't we expect more than this as dignified human beings? Can't we take this matter into our own hands and not leave it up to some uncaring state and vicious capitalist class?" The previously depressed crowd now looks much livelier, as they vocally respond with agreement to Fr0stByt3's statements. Everyone is fired up, including the children and elderly.
Nanobones peers at Denmark from a distance in a wooded area not too far from Lermfish. He can gather that the town has suffered some sort of damage and is mostly evacuated, though there is some sparse movement, probably other combatants, there is also a large yellow-brown cloud moving in from the North, most likely some sort of chemical reaction; this type of stealthy information gathering was common back in his days as a guerrilla fighter. He considers his options, either going into town on foot or driving in on his 1920's car that he has hidden behind some trees to prevent knowledge of his arrival.
Andres walks forward to finish off the bandit, ready to put on his best Dirty Harry impression, when the Mustard Gas Cloud overruns him. The bandit begins to scream, and Andres can see (and even smell) the burning and blistering of his flesh.
Another part of the Cloud wafts down the main street as Execute and Silva have a very loud conversation.

"Interesting proposition, I accept, this shall only be temporary, however, though I assume you already know that much."
He starts stroking his chin thoughtfully, looking at the remaining paintings in the hall.
"Do you know the appearance of any other participants in this game?"

Lead my oppressed brethren in glorious revolution!

Get in my bus and drive to the nearest hospital.

"What? Oh, no, I'm not going to loot anything from you. I just really wanted to hit someone with a stick. . . .Perhaps I could go beat the tar out of some of those looters, if you point me in a direction?"
Get directions from the paramedic, beat some looters with my Stick Of Fury.

OP, whats your policy on turn posts made after you already started writing the part? You just rewrite it? How about posting that you will no longer be taking actions?
-
Leave the drugstore and head toward the woods. If I do arrive at the woods this turn, then use my matches to start a forest fire. Afterward, leave the wooded area, return to town, and look for a vehicle to steal. If I encounter another combatant at any point, throw my molotov at them and run away into traffic (if there is any) to escape them.
EDIT: Also, while I travel toward the woods, open a few sugar packets and eat the sugar for energy.

Sorry about that. I'll give you an extra action next turn to make up for it. Also, bolding your actions can help me make sure to notice them.
OP, whats your policy on turn posts made after you already started writing the part? You just rewrite it? How about posting that you will no longer be taking actions?
If the action is being written while I'm still posting, and I get alerted to it, I'll make adjustments. Once the turn is actually posted, I no longer take actions. I try to stay on a consistent 20-26 hour turn cycle.

Round 7: WWI Flashbacks Pt. 2
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Andres puts on his the gas mask in his suit as the Mustard Gas Cloud rolls around him. He keeps his hand on his gun, staring down at the position of the prone bandit who continues to scream in total agony. Andres fires a shot into his skull at point blank range, more out of mercy than vengeance. The gas obscures his vision like a thick fog and he can only see a couple feet away in any direction, and likewise, this would prevent anyone from spotting him from a distance. He has to be careful, although his bulky air-tight suit prevents the gas from affecting him, one puncturing is all that separates him from the bandit he dispatched.
Execute looks around the Art Shop for intact paintings; some have been stolen and many of them damaged but a few remain in good condition. Among them are drawings of fruit, elegant countrysides and rural houses, upper-class Victorian children, and Brett Favre. While he holds conversation with Angelina, he orders Yuri to man the front door as the Mustard Gas Cloud rolls down Main Street. Yuri stares out into the cloud, unable to see very far. It looks like they are trapped in here for the time being, but at least that means that if someone wants to attack them, they'll have to go through a ton of toxic gas to do it.
Angelina sends her Medabot to also stand guard; it joins Yuri, who glances at it uneasily as it strides next to him. (4) Angelina's search nets her one Paintbrush and nothing else, canvas paper is nowhere to be found and the paint has spilled out of the various containers, having dried since the inception of the Hellfire Incident.
Megggas travels out of the Drugstore and town center to head towards the woods, unintentionally leading a narrow trail of blood behind him. (1+2) His travel takes him down a road which splits off into two directions giving him great options: to the left, a pile-up of cars and debris all over the road, to his right, a giant yellow cloud of gas. He's not even close to the forest yet. Whatever he does, he eats some sugar packets for energy. (+Status: Sugar Rush!)
Nanobones cautiously sneaks his way into the side of town, running up against a building and taking cover behind it as he peeks around the corner; so far, nobody to bother him. He loads a cartridge into his rifle just in case anyone does come around, and then continues on his way down the abandoned streets.
Pikorge makes a u-turn and heads back into town, accelerating to gain even speed to flatten another contender. Sure enough, he spots Nanobones lurking around on the Western edge of Denmark. (4 vs. 3) Pikorge zooms after Pikorge, he retaliates by firing a shot at the car. The shot misses, but it causes Pikorge to hesitate and miss Nano as he dives out of the way. Nanobones hits the asphalt and scrapes his Upper Right Arm just below the shoulder, but did not get hit directly at all. As Pikorge zooms off, Nanobones turns around and fires another shot at him. (5 vs. 9) The shot goes wide as Pikorge continues to gain distance between him and the guerrilla fighter. As he drives away after nearly having been shot, Pikorge's blood has boiled! (+Status: Hyped the fuck up)
Person nabs Tomasque's WWII Officer's Pistol and opens up a can of Shloer. It tastes similar to the cola's he's used to, but with an added tangy hit, pretty good overall. He throws the remaining sodas in the backseat of his Austin-Healey and stuffs the pistol into his pocket. He drifts around town in his ride, looking for a good base of operations. There's a few multi-story buildings on Main Street but right now a lot of gas is sifting around in that area, so Person avoids it. Farther away he comes across some good spots: There's an abandoned Luthern Church that looks impressively sturdy, as well as a Auto-Repair Garage; if the front door could be sealed, it would be tough to try and break through the garage. Still, there might be even better places if he looked elsewhere, or even looked outside of the city.
Powder Miner convinces the paramedic that he is not a viscous looter but simply a malevolent-alien-parasite totally normal human man that wanted to hit someone with a stick, and even offers to beat up some looters. The paramedics calms down, realizing that he is not dealing with a menace, just a pair of weirdos. "Well, let's see; if you go-oh God what is that." The medics eyes light up as he sees the Mustard Gas Cloud rolling down the street. "Shit, there's been a gas leakage!" He scoops up the arms of the unconscious man on the ground. "You two! We have to get this guy out of here! Help me out!"
Fr0stByt3 doesn't have a loyal following ready to totally commit to a Red Revolution just yet, but he does have a group of people frustrated and angry enough to want to march and protest. The townspeople agree that there's no point in causing in uproar in their own destroyed town, and it's abandoned so no one would be there anyways. There are suggestions to take their grievances somewhere nearby, like Fontenoy, which is an hour's walk away. Green Bay is to the north, where a lot of people and important institutions for Wisconsin are located, but it's too far to walk so some sort of transportation would need to be organized, and many people's rides were destroyed.
[The Mustard Gas Cloud now in the center of Denmark. It will leave and enter the Southern section of Denmark by next turn.]

I want to ask you guys something I should have thought about when I was first starting this game. If someone gets an Article similar to one they already have, (ex. You have an Article about a Sculptor when you get another Article, the first one that pops up is about another Sculptor), what should happen? Do I skip it and find an Article in a field they don't have a bonus in yet? Do I stack Article Bonuses?
-
Find the next player who looks most asshole-y and murder him.

The problem with just stacking is what are we going to when people start getting +6 and +8 to combat rolls?

Stack
The problem with just stacking is what are we going to when people start getting +6 and +8 to combat rolls?
At some point, that should signify they've become the boss.
Edit: You could always forbid repeat combat stacks/ reinterpret an article in a non combat way.
-
Stacking is fine, but maybe up to a limit? I mean once you're at +5 in a skill you're all but guaranteed success, in normal conditions. That wouldn't be the limit I choose, but just throwing that out there. I mean you're probably going to roll a lot of politicians and footballers, so as long as people don't run around with +10 to common actions from a single stat (combining other modifiers is fine of course, as long as it makes sense).
Edit: Plus, something like +10 to fighting doesn't do you much if you're facing the wrong end of a cruise missile, or a gatling gun, or poison gas, and so on. At some point, you're not allowed to roll a die if you're doing something silly enough, like trying shoot an AC-130 down with a pistol, so your modifiers are worth squat. Everything has a counter measure, though obviously some counters are rarer than others.

Continue toward the forest by taking the route full of cars and debris. If the mustard gas gets close to me, get inside one of the cars (one which has intact windows, windshield, and is mostly air tight), cover or close any vents in the vehicle, and wait for the gas to pass.
If instead I manage to make it to the woods, then use my matches to start a forest fire. Afterward, leave the wooded area, return to town, and look for a vehicle to steal. If I encounter another combatant at any point, throw my molotov at them and run away into traffic (if there is any) to escape them.
-
Make my way into the garage for now, and see if I can find any way to repair my car's window, as well as armor it somewhat.

Ride backwards to ram my target as hard as possible. Don't look behind but keep my head low and hope for the best.
For my second turn, drive forward again... Straight through the oncoming gas as fast as possible!

Open a portal through a painting that has a house, preferably a nice, large one, but any place that seems like it would be a good place to retreat to will do.

Round 7.5: The I.N.T.E.R. Mission Pt. 1

You pull off your VR Headset and set down your controller. Time for a snack! Your weapon of choice, a veggie dog with extra mustard and meteor hotsauce, mmmm. You decide to flip on the TV and see what's on. Nothing really, some cheese eating competition, some documentary about European crows. You decide to go outside.
You admire the somewhat cloudy and breezy weather while you sip your hot coco. Wait, you don't remember making this? Wtf? You head back inside and set down the mug. You go back up the stairs to your room and shut the door, and kick off your slippers.
You play some Dwarf Fortress. You're not really a fan, but its a free download and you frequent the forums to play "Count until someone with a My Little Pony avatar posts. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=152456.0)", so you figure you take a whack at it now and then. Suddenly your session is interrupted by an email alert.

I can see that on a multiple choice survey asking "What is the purpose of a forum game" where I might check the box that says "To entertain a group of players", you'd check one of the OTHER options.
It's been four days since any such entertainment on a daily updated game. Alas you must have a higher Investigation bonus than my character: deducing this was not merely a joke, but a full fledged HIJACKING. BRILLIANT!

It's... just a game thread, and out of many on this forum. Just because there aren't any updates for a mere four-day period doesn't mean that that entertainment is forfeit forever, nor does it suddenly mean the thread for this specific game is no longer the thread for this specific game, nor does it mean someone ought to come in and run their own game; if you want to do that, you can just make your own thread. This is the thread for TCM's game, and if you're grabbing the spotlight because of a pause and running your own game, then yes, it is hijacking.

If it was serious, why didn't you make a new thread?
Edit: OP asked me not to double post, and this was really only supposed to last ONE JOKE POST and maybe an "lol" reply or two later.

Okay I over reacted there, but my point still kind of stands. However, I probably could have been much less inflammatory about the way I made it. For that I do apologize.
Also yeah it was 4 days not 2, so my bad. Delays happen to a lot of games, and oftentimes a game that updates every day starts updating every other day, and then once a week, and then ever other week, and so on. Honestly, I just wasn't sure how serious you were, because some people actually do go through with that sort of thing. I've seen it go on for multiple pages before, and that's on 50 posts per page.
I'll admit that the post amused me, and it was even fairly well written, but I was worried how far it might go. But you seem like a nice person so I probably went to far. I mean I'd definitely expect a full derail from someone like, say poketwo (no offense meant, you've improved greatly lately), but you're highly invested in the existing game and probably wouldn't want to see it end.
-
I am sorry I let it upset me.
My intention was to only derail as long as OP was gone, giving rail to go back at any time without needing to take it canon.
Basically a glorified bump and outlet for my interest in this game beyond art (http://i.imgur.com/NjECjIW.png).
I planned to post it every 2 days the OP was inactive. I will not post it anywhere else, because this is what and where it's styled for.
But if anyone asks me not to post the next entry I wont.

Execute proceeds over to the one of the paintings on the wall, and places his palms adjacent in the center. As he spreads them, a portal opens, the rims of it glowing purple but the inside goes directly through to the other tangible world; a dragonfly flies through the portal and buzzes around the ceiling of the paint shop. Analysis at this point isn't helping Angelina get anywhere, this power defies all conventional logic, at least for now.
Powder Miner helps the paramedic out as he lifts the unconscious man with the help of his Jaffa. The combined strength of the three of them allows them to easily transport the patient down to another street, out of the way of the oncoming gas cloud. The paramedic thanks the two aliens for their uncharacteristically charitable nature towards humans, and as a reward, tells them the fastest road to get out of town. "Just head West along Bullard, it's quiet and there won't be stuff in your way. I'm not sure where you two are headed..."
Andres marches out of the gas cloud back into town where he spots Pikorge driving around wildly, which meets the criteria for his qualification of Asshole. (5 vs. 1) Andres fires a single shot into the Front Right Tire of the Rover 200 Coupe, sending Pikorge veering off to the side of the road. (8 ) Andres veers off into the curb and surges back into his seat from the impact. He isn't hurt, but with a tire blown out, driving this thing is going to be a lot harder.
Pikorge backs up his car and makes a three point turn, zooming off into the direction that he came from before Andres can shoot at him more. Soon enough, he's back at Nanobone's position. Sure, Nanobone's is on the sidewalk, but that's nothing that's going to stop Pikorge. (2-2 vs. 1) Pikorge, unable to control the vehicle, veers into the curb again and comes to an immediate stop. Nanobones then falls backwards onto his ass, before getting back to his feet as Pikorge backs up slightly, both slightly embarrassed with themselves as fighters. (3-2 vs. 8 ) Nanobones accelerates and slowly climbs up the sidewalk as Nanobones aims his rifle right into the front windshield of the car. (9 vs. 5) The rifle bullet pierces the window and hits Pikorge straight in the left shoulder, tearing through the bone.
Person heads into the garage, but the front door is locked shut. He looks for some way to open the garage door itself from the outside, (9) and finds a winch that does just that. Pulling on it, the door opens up completely and he pulls his Austin-Healey inside. There are a bunch of spare parts and tools inside the garage, including windows but Person would need to spend some time and effort repairing his car to install them. There's even an intact Sedan in the garage, although it is locked.
Megggas goes down the road of debris and cars with the Mustard Gas Cloud hot on his tail. (8 ) He speeds down the road, carefully not to trip or fall over any of the random pieces of metal and concrete that line the broken trail. The road delivers him out of the town where he comes across the beginnings of the wooded area. (9) Finding a patch of dry earth and decayed plant life, Megggas lights a match and starts a small fire that quickly blazes up and starts to consume the surrounding area. Satisfied, he jogs back to the outskirts of the town.
Fr0stByt3 calls for more followers to his campaign. (5+2) Through some more persuasive work, he takes a dedicated section of the riled up crowd and convinces them to come with him and work for the cause. (+8 Activists)
Execute walks up to the one of the paintings displaying some sort of balcony. Instinctively, he places his hands on the painting and opens up a portal, where the other side is the painting brought to life, like a door to another world. There is the sound of buzzing insects and birds on the otherside, and the balcony itself is made of white stone, overlooking what sounds like an ocean. There is a table with red lining and two woven chairs on each side, just as the picture had portrayed.
Nanobones pulls back the bolt and fires a successive shot into Pikorge's car. (1 vs. 6) Nanobones isn't holding the rifle correctly this time around and he misses, the force of the recoil forcing him back, giving Pikorge another opportunity to run him over, albeit with one good arm. (7-3 vs. 9) Pikorge finally hurdles the whole car over the curb and lunges at Nanobones, who is able to combat roll to the side, into safety.
Lermfish disappears deep into the woodlands to live in a nature wonderland with animal friends. Later, he would be killed tragically by a stray nuclear missile. He leaves behind 3 wives and 10 children of varying species.
Immaterial returns to the games, this time donning the lavish outfit of an aristocratic Italian Renaissance figure. He looks around to at the sight of the battle but turns to the river to the northeast, where his two 'toys' have been delivered. They are prized ships, one modeled after a French military vessel, and another the relic of the early 18th century's days of sailing, more an antique. Both are a bit far, but reachable within a good two turns of steady movement.
News Report: The cloud of toxic gas spotted previously in Denmark, Wisconsin, is still on the move, though it will soon exit through the town's south side and will likely dissipate soon after that. Yet another disaster mars the town today as there are now reports of a wildfire on the Western portion of the town.

An unannounced week-long hiatus is not cool. If any of you are disappointed, that's fine; it's an unjustified amount of time to have to wait for a game that is supposed to be updated on a daily basis. What happened? I got sick, not anything serious but sick enough to leave me unable, or at least very unwilling to post a turn for a week. I am fine now, and while I can not promise that something like that will not happen again in the future, I will promise to put in the effort to keep you all updated on the situation.
Over the past few days there was a little fiasco as you can see in the previous posts. Whatever that was, it's all fine now. I don't think this thread was hijacked, no one will be punished, and this game will resume to its normal state. Thank you.
-
"There, come, come, let's wait this whole fiasco out until we are properly prepared."
Get my loyal Yuri to come with me and enter the portal, after locking the doors, look around the area we are now in.
-
Immaterial appears on the scene with a scream that trails off as he realizes that he's not being gunned down by an airplane anymore. After a quick pat down to check his assets, he grins to himself. It's go time.
"The people of Denmark do not deserve to be brutalized by this annual atrocity! Hellfire? Mustard gas? And now a wild fire? These are good, decent people who are being killed just so a bunch of lunatics can get off on killing each other. No more, I say! This is America's' heartland, and it is under attack by maniac terrorists! Denmark must mobilize its police force, and call in the National Guard! Fellow citizens of Denmark! Join me as I march upon City Hall to make our demands!"
Recruit citizens with this speech to join me as I towards City Hall.
-
(Did I get the +2 to agility?)
-
Nice to see you recovered.
Keep attacking nanobones by ramming and keep low for bullets.
Not gonna give up that easily.
-
It brings honor to me you accept my gift of art, though I would have done it anyway.
I shall observe from the outside for now.
*Use rapier to pin the dragonfly, then Investigate if it is unusual in any way, having 1-4 assist by looking online. Use Evidence Analysis to draw out any conclusions about Dumbos power based on these findings.*
*Look for a long sturdy rope.*
If it is deemed fair and reasonable, I would like to receive any details from my investigating in PM.
-
>Juke him! Find and vault behind a hard obstacle, or get off the street - not into a fragile glass storefront, but headlong toward a sturdier stairwell to an apartment or a bank.
-
(Did I get the +2 to agility?)
Yeah, I wrote down the total instead of the added numbers, my bad.
-
Good to see you back. Glad you're okay.
Look around the shop for anything that might be of use. Money, tools, fuel cans, first aid equipment, and so on. Maybe even the keys for that sedan. If I find time, try to treat my injuries. I'd at least like to fix my head up.
I have severe doubts about my character's ability to hot wire a car without setting off an alarm and/or getting the police after me. Not sure if just "looking around" constitutes an action, but if it does that's what I'd like to do. Also I've just realized window damage probably isn't such a big deal, and I also don't have any bonuses to repairing/engineering/etc anyway.
-
(I'm glad this game is alive again, though I completely forgot what my strategy was. Eh, I've got another idea anyway)
Search for a drivable automobile to steal. If I encounter another combatant at any point before finding a vehicle, then throw my molotov at them and run away into traffic (if there is any) to escape them.
If I obtain a vehicle, then drive around in search of other combatants, even those that are driving other vehicles. If I find someone, drive my vehicle at top speed into my opponent for a head-on collision.
(Time to make use of my crash immunity!)
-
Wait what? So I'm inside the car? And I shot my own car? What?
-
Go find a couple of thugs with crowbars or something, beat on them with the Jaffa's aid, and then dual-wield said crowbars or whatever.
-
Turn was meant to come last night, but at 1 A.M. I get the old "Yo, right this research now okay thanks." There will be a turn tonight, provide no one else fucks up their research, which is hopefully the case.
Wait what? So I'm inside the car? And I shot my own car? What?
I meant you made Pikorge crash the car. You are standing on the street, basking in your tire-shooting glory.
-
Finish Pikorge off with a bullet to the brain.
-
The army must grow! Viva la revolucion!

Round 9: Life in Denmark
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
The remainder of Denmark citizens are congregated outside the emergency shelter, all agitated, and some taking up arms alongside Fr0stByt3. That's the status quo, at least until Immaterial shows up. (7+3) Immaterial launches into a rousing speech against Fr0stByt3's communist agenda and claims that a good ole' fashioned Italian uprising is the way to go. The speech is so effective that many of the agitators realize that Fr0stByt3's politics are not in their favor, in fact, all of the activists that were originally on Fr0stByt3's side now switch their loyalties to Immaterial! "Come, let us march on City Hall!" Immaterial is then notified that City Hall has been evacuated.
Pikorge, despite suffering a major injury in his shoulder, continues to speed away after Nanobones. "You aren't getting away that easily!" (8-3 vs. 6) Nanobones runs but his foot-speed is nothing compared to the acceleration of the car, even in its damaged state. But because it is damaged, just before Pikorge can slam into Nanobones from behind, the partisan jukes to the right and the car goes flying past. (3 vs. 9) The car rattles down the sidewalk as Nanobones fires a shot from his hip that goes wide by a large margin.
Fr0stByt3 is astounded that a two-minute speech from Immaterial is able to sway and even convert many of his followers. (1+2) "Can you not see that this a ploy by the capitalists to distract and divide us? We must stay unified for the motherland!" But his words are drowned out by the booming voice of Immaterial as the converts walk right past Fr0stByt3 as if he was invisible.
Yuri looks up the doors before joining his master at the foot of the picture. "Come Yuri, let us explore this new world!" Execute holds up the portal in the painting and steps on through, the scent of the sea filling his nostrils as soon as he steps foot on the marble floor of the balcony. He holds the portal open long enough to let Yuri through, after which he closes it. The portal shuts, but leaves behind a glowing purple orb, as a trace of the spot where Execute can open a portal between worlds. The two of them look around; they appear to be on a balcony over-looking the sea which crashes against rocks below. Behind them is the entrance to a lavish bedroom, coated in red and featuring a large bed and an armorie, both spacious and lush. There is a radio next to the bed playing soft jazz music.
Before Pikorge can find a spot to u-turn at, Nanobones books it into the nearest path away from the streets. (10) Pikorge runs into a bank who's doors were unlocked during the chaos of the Firestorm, but makes sure to lock them behind him as he ventures in. The doors are heavy and metallic, meant to be resistant to armed robbery and rioting. The area is secure and abandoned; Pikorge tries going behind the teller's windows but finds the door to that is locked, and the vault is locked as well. The doors to the office areas however are open.
Angelina Silva stands perfectly still as the dragonfly buzzes around the art shop before coming to rest on one of the walls. (5+3-5) In one fluid motion, she stabs at the bug with her rapier, and misses it by a mere half-inch, although relative to the size of the dragonfly itself it was not close. It frantically flies away, but her Medabot is able to visually scan it. "Red-veined darter, scientifically named the Sympetrum fonscolombii," the Medabot identifies, "most commonly found in Southern or Central Europe." After receiving the identification of the dragonfly, Silva searches the store for some sturdy rope material. (9) After a few minutes, she spies a length of rope dangling off of one of the shelves, she grabs the end and pulls it all down.
Pikorge reaches the end of the street, braking his car and easing it into a turn so that he can launch himself at Pikorge for one final time. Just before he hits the gas again, he hears something metal tap against his window. He turns his head to catch the barrel of Andre's pistol staring at his face. (8 vs. 1) A bullet tears through the window and smashes into Pikorge's face, tearing through his jaw bone. There is a flash and Pikorge is laying on his side across the driver and passenger's seat, his jaw dangling from the bottom of his face, blood pouring all over the seat, the force of the injury was enough to knock him unconscious.
Person searches the auto-repair shop for valuables and tools. (9) While a lot of the stuff is too damaged or dangerous and complicated looking, Person does find a Toolbox and the Keys to the Sedan, conventionally located on the windshield. Person wishes to tend to his head bruise, but lacks the medication or bandages to do it, and this doesn't seem like the type of place to carry medical supplies.
Megggas prowls the streets, ducking down as the fire roars behind him. (1) Megggas finds a nondescript car parked on the side of the road and approaches the driver seat, jimmying open the lock. It's really difficult, and just as he starts making progress, an alarm starts blaring, and the whole vehicle starts flashing in blue and red lights; just his lock to have tried to steal an undercover cop car. "Hey you!" He spots two plain-clothes officers running from down the block after him. And just to make things better, Megggas starts to go into his sugar crash...
Powder Miner turns to vigilantism and looks for some sort of tool that could suffice for bashing in the heads of street thugs. (2) He finds nothing. "Well, the Stick will have to do." He takes his Jaffa into town, searching for some looters to deliver justice to. (7) A masked figure carrying a bundle of objects run past them. "Stop thief!" (6) They pursue the criminal, the two of them matching his pace step for step, though they appear to be slightly gaining on him.
News Report: The wildfire is growing and drawing closer to the city of Denmark. Emergency services are now relocating towards the area of the fire.

"Hmph, good enough, for now.
Yuri, split up and search this house, hopefully we may find more useful supplies."
EXPLORATION TIME!

"I'm not surprised the weaklings in City Hall would abandon ship at the first sign of trouble! We're not going to back down, are we? No! Let's get started taking down our home! With him!" Immaterial levels a zealous finger at Fr0stByt3.
Lead my followers in taking out Fr0stByt3.

Start up the sedan to make sure it runs first. It's probably abandoned for a reason.
If it seems to be in good working condition, I do the following. Take the supplies I found, along with anything that is inside the sports car, and put them into the sedan. Remember this place in case I need my old car again. Then drive off in the sedan, looking for any other combatants.
Otherwise, turn the sedan off and remember this place before leaving in my sports car along with the supplies I found.

Hold my hands up, allow the officers to come to me, and tearfully explain to the officers that I have a sick niece in the hospital across town who was scheduled for an for her second surgery today and I'm worried about her, which is why I was trying to acquire transportation. Assure them that I would have returned the vehicle after checking on my niece. If they are doubtful, show them my bulldog forceps and tell them that my niece gave it to me after her first surgery as a memento of her successful operation. If they believe me, beg them to give me a ride to the hospital.

Investigate the purple dimensional anomaly, very carefully. Notice if there is any discomfort in approaching, if tossing a painting at it does anything, push on it with a painting see if it moves or reacts, favoring caution over discovery the whole time.
Draw any conclusions on these experiments and the dragonfly, and anything learned from speaking with Dumbo, analyze all this evidence to form any new conclusions about his gift, if any can be determined.
Determine how to best move forward in this investigation.
Take notice of the dragonfly, if its seemed to have disappeared, landed somewhere, died, acting oddly.

Round 10: Political Strife
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Immaterial's first order of business as a political leader is to dispose of the old one. "Overthrow the despot! Tear him apart!" Immaterial charges at Fr0stByt3 ready to superman punch him in the face when Fr0stByt3's loyal dog companion throws itself at Immaterial. (9 vs. 4) The hound launches itself at Immaterial, teeth bared, but the aristocrat reacts with a pivot and launches a hook at the dog, hitting it across the jaw and sending it to the ground, unconscious. This gives Immaterial's followers an opportunity to attack Fr0stByt3 as a mass. (8 vs. 2) One of Immaterial's burlier thugs charges Fr0stByt3 and uppercuts him, sending him flying onto his back, as stone-cold unconscious as his pooch.
Person tries the Sedan in the auto-repair shop, and everything is in working condition actually; the engine is running and the mechanics are fine. The only thing is that the gas indicator states that it is absolutely dry, and Person didn't see any spare gas anywhere in the facility. He pockets the keys and throws the Toolbox in the passenger seat of his Austin-Healey, driving back off onto the road, making a mental note of where the auto-shop was.
Andres shatters the driver's-side window of the Rover 200 Coupe and reaches inside, manually opening the door. He drags Pikorge's body out of it by the feet, leaving a trail of blood from the passenger's side. He tosses the limp officer on the ground; sneering, he aims his pistol downwards at Pikorge's head and fires a single shot, which ends with a satisfying squirt. "Fuckin' punk."
Andres executed Pikorge!

Angelina Silva experiments with the purple portal. (10+2) With her analysis, Silva makes some conclusions about the nature of Execute's ability and does not tamper with the portal anymore, for now. [As this is classified information as opposed to a classified action, I will sanction a PM of Secret Intelligence for you.]
Angelina then commands her Medabot to stun the dragonfly that entered via portal, currently resting on a counter. The Medabot fires the tiniest stun-attack Silva had ever seen, less than a millioneth of the strength of the weakest taser. The tiny electrical bolt hits the dragonfly and it flips onto its back, convulsing.
Megggas willingly surrenders as the police officers run up to him, instantly interrogating him as to why he's attempting to hijack their vehicle. (Charisma Roll: 3-2[Hardened Officers]+1[Wounded]) Megggas begins his sob story of how his niece is desperately ill in the hospital, and out of desperation he was breaking into their car as a form of emergency transportation. The police are completely dead-faced as he goes on, causing Megggas to make his story as desperate as possible. "Please help me, she's my only family left! I've stolen for her, fought for her, even killed for her! I would do anything to-" Seconds later, Megggas is hand-and-ankle cuffed in the back of the uncover car.
Execute orders Yuri to split up and search the house with him. The Prince hears the portal wavering behind him, but it goes back to its normal state fairly quickly. (8) The two of them trifle through the house, which is quite large and grand, everything from the carpeting to the tiling displaying some sort of opulent wealth. Between some paper documents that the two of them come across and the chatter on the radio, the Russians understand that they've ended up in some Spanish speaking country, in the mansion of some sort of wealthy person or people, who don't seem to be home at the moment, fortunately. The front door leads them outside to a garden with a central flowing fountain, and beyond that is a plain of the purest green grass. In the distance they can see more estates which are similarly grand.
Nanobones fills his rifle with ammunition and makes a quick sweep of the bank's office buildings. He keeps the rifle pointed in front of him, as a bank would be a prime target for looters during the collapse of civilization, but the offices appear to be as barren as the rest of the building. (9) Nanobones does come across a key in one of the abandoned filing cabinets. It doesn't lead to the safe, which requires modern key-cards as opposed to this old-fashioned key, but it has to lead to somewhere in the building...
NAV was a man of many talents, he could sink a hole-in-one and then shoot a bulls-eye from a thousand yards away, all the while wooing some dashing dame, and if she happened to have a gentleman companion, NAV could kick his ass. NAV was of the lineage of the legendary Shalya, a legendary warrior in Indian folklore who blessed him with many abilities; perhaps the most fantastical of all of his abilities was that in combat, the angrier his opponent gets, NAV's power proportionally increases. But all this power comes at a price, as Shalya was tricked into forever fighting for the Kaurava people, so is NAV. NAV isn't concered though, he's armed with his favorite beer, his favorite golf club and his favorite antique WWI rifle. And after all, how many true descendants of Kaurava are going to be in Wisconsin anyways?

-
I think I may cheated.
Are we allowed to in-character know about other character's talents?
I assumed yes to begin with, and my character knew about Dumbo's abilities.
I think we also need a consensus and canon whether or not the characters can be assumed to also have access to 'profiles' of the characters, or if who specifically have a responsibility to pretend to not know.
-
"Lynch him!"
-
Keep searching through the house, perhaps the mansion has some sort of hobby area, hopefully with some painting supplies.

Chase the guy down and beat the tar out of him with the Stick. If he starts getting away just have the Jaffa shoot him.

I think I may cheated.
Are we allowed to in-character know about other character's talents?
I assumed yes to begin with, and my character knew about Dumbo's abilities.
I think we also need a consensus and canon whether or not the characters can be assumed to also have access to 'profiles' of the characters, or if who specifically have a responsibility to pretend to not know.
So, I see the cons and pros to all 3 stances, and maybe a solution?
#1) You have to pretend to NOT know about character specs
-You can't use public info tactically without creating your own reason why you have it, may feel obligated to spend turns and rolls to create an explanation on how you know
OR
#2) There is an in-canon excuse to allow you to see character specs
-Perhaps all players were briefed on current and to come competitors, requires a consistent canon which could get tricky or limit creativity. Imagine a player arrives you could have planned for but for what ever reason didn't...
OR
#3) Just leave this ambiguous as has been the case thus far
-Players may feel obligated to err on the side of NOT knowing, but other players wont feel that way. The simplest path.
I think the solution would have to be the following:
1) something that is simple
2) something that clearly defines the rule on the matter
3) something that fits with you not knowing about characters yet to come, or abilities yet to be obtained
So if we want to favor not knowing... really the info should just be PM'd to the players.
If we want to favor knowing(which obviously is the case for this session), we should clearly agree in the rules your character is ALLOWED to know about this info. You may describe how you found it or leave it ambiguous, but you can use it strategically(with no ambiguity on the subject).
Perhaps a poll is in order.

Maybe you're right, I don't know.
You know I think I've got it.
Basically saying out loud what has been already accepted as subtext, will help those needing more explaination.
Here it is.
Fog of War(soft rule)
You don't know about what is going on with other people in other places, and what they have or can do, UNLESS you have an in-character-reason for knowing why. You will not usually get in trouble for fudging this rule, but flat out breaking it may not work.
-
Does the mace skill only work with actual maces, or does something close enough like a hammer or club work?
I must protect the Kaurava people. Andres is an Indian crime boss, his organization is likely to harm them. Search for him and shoot him if I see him.
I disagree with there being any fog of war in this game. That just wouldn't add to the fun. I'm here for reckless and creative fighting, not serious competition or roleplaying.
-
I wasn't suggesting to add a rule. Some people, I admit to being one, have problems with subtext. I believe what wrote is actually already the case.
If I am wrong that proves my point just as much.
I have gotten fun out of this game, clarity on this would allow me to have more fun.
Edit:
What I am allowed to do greatly alters my strategy for the rest of this game. Its a competitive game, for fun yes. But I think victory means more than luck, its also strongly in part resourcefulness, but wouldn't you know it, there is a resource with unclarified privileges.
If this is left open, I am going to use that resource, very hard.

I've already sort of followed that fog of war thing for the most part in this game. I've always made rolls to "look" for something/someone, rather than just say something like "I drive towards Andres". Basically, I try to meta-game as little as possible. However, I'm not really sure it needs to be an official rule.
Also, here's an amusing question to add to what NAV said. If they had a can of mace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mace_(spray)), would they get a bonus when they used it?
Keep looking for combatants. If I find one that isn't in a vehicle, get out and ready my weapons. If they are in a vehicle, get my S&W pistol ready covertly, but don't fire yet.

I've already sort of followed that fog of war thing for the most part in this game. I've always made rolls to "look" for something/someone, rather than just say something like "I drive towards Andres".
I think OP wouldn't allow this. That's why I do believe its already a rule. But I feel should be written plainly.
-
Unless there is a large consensus, I believe that I will keep the rule as it was in the previous game in regards to character attributes; the implication is that everyone can read each other's spoilers, hence why each character's introduction includes an overview of their skills and why each article gained after a kill is announced publicly. You could even say that the game intends for you to make decisions based on your knowledge of the abilities of other players.
Because of the somewhat arbitrary (as are all games involving die) gameplay mechanics, I feel that utilizing action-stealth would not make the game more fun or competitive. I will stop explicit metagaming, (ex. no character should know that Execute has traversed into a painting world besides GameBoyBlue and himself), but there is a limit, and I am willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt to not metagame super hard.
One of this game's inspirations are the Arena-Combat Perplexicon Style games, which are mainly in the RTD section of the board, and which certain gameplay aspects are clearly taken from, (free-for-all combat, constant influx of new players after death, etc.) and one of the weaknesses in that style of game that I didn't enjoy was the fact that eventually every single action the players posted became secret.
Also, here's an amusing question to add to what NAV said. If they had a can of mace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mace_(spray)), would they get a bonus when they used it?
I thought about that, and it would not incur a bonus.
-
I would appreciate a couple sentence summary of this point, in the mechanics section please.
I would appreciate a couple sentence summary of this point, in the mechanics section please.
No I think its great. It's still a little ambiguous but atleast it's been confirmed in some fashion, which is something to work with. Unfortunately theres nothing gameplay wise to motivate you to not ride the edge of being too meta, which could be done.
I understand its a sportsmanship and roleplay thing, but its also good to reinforce it back into gameplay(some form of reward for not going too meta).
I am satisfied with what has been stated, regardless.

Round 11: The Lynchin' of Fr0stByt3
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Powder Miner runs after the thief, waving his stick erratically in the air. (2) This proves futile as the bandit makes huge gains on him and keeps on going while Miner gets out of breath. As he breathes heavily, hands on his knees, he signals for his Jaffa to shoot the man. The Jaffa nods and puts his Laser Rifle up to his shoulder. (6 vs. 5) The Jaffa fires off two shots, the first of which misses and the second skims the thief's side, but fails to do any serious damage to him, as he is able to keep running, even faster now, until he turns around the corner and is out of shooting range and sight. Jaffa are loyal warriors and excelled at close-quarters combat, but they are not known as sharpshooters.
NAV knows that Andres crime connections likely mean that he has targeted innocent Kaurava in the past. He sets out in pursuit of Andres, (8) and it only takes him a few minutes to find Andres, who is rummaging through the car of a dead person. Clear that the menace has to be stopped, NAV takes his rifle off of his back and cocks it. (1 vs. 8) NAV opens fire into the car, destroying its windows, and front tires, as Andres cowers from the bullets. After expending nearly all of his ammo, NAV puts his gun down to see what he has accomplished. (3 vs. 10) Nothing, it seems, as Andres combat rolls out of the car and fires some retaliating pistol shots at NAV, though none of them put the Warrior in danger.
Execute and Yuri continue to search through the mansion, with the goal of hopefully coming across some painting supplies. (9) The mansion, as it turns out, does not contain any painting materials, at least in their search through the kitchen, den, ballroom, bathrooms, and multiple other fancy rooms that they can only guess the function of. What they do find is a room stocked with all sorts of artistic creations, ranging from portraits to landscapes to sculptures.
Immaterial orders his followers to dispose of their former leader through the brutal execution method of lynching. Fr0stByt3 is carried outside, limp, while rope is thrown over the branch of a nearby tree. This is the first time that some of Immaterial's followers appear hesitant to follow his orders. (7+3) "You think that I would order the death of a man out of spite? While he is alive, he is a threat to us all. If we let him live, that will only inspire the communists to rally at his side. Unless you want to fight a crimson swarm, get busy lynching!" (1) With a new sense of urgency, the activists get back to work. In their haste, too much stress is put on the tree branch and it breaks off, falling to the ground and striking one of Immaterial's followers on the skull, killing him instantly. The rest of the followers have their morale broken by this tragedy, while the rest of the crowd is in shock, looking at Immaterial like he was the cause of this needless death. (9) During all of this chaos, Fr0stByt3 manages to awaken with nothing more than some grogginess. Taking advantage of the crowd's redirected attention, he scoops up his unconscious Dog Companion and makes a run for it. (3) The dog remains unconscious.
Megggas continues to beg the police to take him to his niece, wailing the whole ride down to the station. Due to the damage of Denamrk's jail, Megggas is driven all way to Green Bay's Brown County Sheriff Department's Jail. He is escorted in forcefully, unable to escape or overpower two officers who have him tied up two ways. He is uncuffed and thrown into a jail cell while he is told he will await his trial. His cellmate is a bronze skinned scrawny man with a full beard. "Ey, what'd they get you in for?"
Nanobones tries the key to on the door to the teller's room and it works! He begins searching around for anything of use in the back, (5) and finds a whole lot of pens and envelops, not exactly the most useful items in the current circumstances. Underneath a photocopier he does find a spare $20 bill, which is something.
Person cruises around in his Austin-Healey 100, looking for a fight. As he turns a corner, a masked man carrying in a sack stumbles into his car, bounces off and continues running. Person sees two figures at the end of the road, one armed with some sort of rifle. Whatever their case may be, they are bound to be competitors. Person stops the car in front of them and gets out of the driver's side which faces opposite of the two fighters, using the car as cover, whipping out his Russian firearm.
Andres's attempts at helping the fire fighters is interrupted by an asshole trying to murder him yet again. (6 vs. 5) Andres leaps from out of his restricted space in the car and fires two shots at NAV, one of which hits him. NAV reaches down to feel his wound, which grazed his right arm but merely caused a little bleeding. [1 vs. 2) NAV dives to the ground as a rifle bullet spins through the air above him.
Breaking News: Firefighters have began to subdue the wildfire and are actively pushing it back into the forest, marking a great success and preventing the fire from damaging the already devastated town of Denmark.

Le'see here, start checking through the paintings, any ones that have some sort of weapon in the background or foreground? Medical supplies, perhaps some protective clothing? I'll settle for a portal into some kind of military bunker, too, anything that seems imminently useful, if there is anything like that, open a portal to one that doesn't seem like it would have any people in it.
((This can be a free action, right?))
-
can you put me back on the waitlist please?
-
"You'll pay for what you've probably done to the Kaurava people!"
Switch to my trusty golf club and try to use mace techniques or at least ancient combat techniques to kill Andres.
-
can you put me back on the waitlist please?
I shall.
-
Carefully aim a few shots at the one with the rifle. Try to wound at least one of their arms, but hits to the body are fine too.
-

I shall.
Thanks.

Yes, sine you already rolled for the room on the previous turn.
"You'll pay for what you've probably done to the Kaurava people!"
Switch to my trusty golf club and try to use mace techniques or at least ancient combat techniques to kill Andres.
According to some reading for the sake of specificity, a mace is a type of club that is thin, leading up to a heavy handle, so the Golf Club can be used as an improvised mace. Since you are going to have to cover ground to get to Andres, (since you are transitioning from a ranged to a melee fight) an Agility roll from both of you will determine who gets to attack first on your turn.

(Have all my items been confiscated?)
Explain to my cell-mate that my imprisonment is all just a big misunderstanding and give him my sob story about my sick niece. Ask him about his story and try to bond with him. If we become pals, ask him if he knows a way for both of us to escape. If he does, use his method to escape if possible.

An Addendum To Player Sheets:
All spoiler'd player sheets are free to be viewed by other players and are considered "public". While this will inevitable influence player decisions, explicit meta-gaming is not permitted, (ex. a character knowing the exact location of another character without any means of getting that information)
Thank you, as a player I appreciate it. However it begs the question, did I cheat by knowing stuff about dumbo? Can I just keep playing the card that I looked up profiles before arriving?
Edit: I'll assume I can until told otherwise. If I may reword what you said, I believe the rule could also be stated:
You can know anything you can reasonably and realistically roleplay knowing, at GM's discretion.
-
I'm going to delay the next turn until tomorrow night just to give some players a chance to post that may have not realized this game had been updated.
(Have all my items been confiscated?)
They have, but they are still under your ownership. The Molotov was a weapon however, and will be used as evidence, so you will not get that back.

You never cheated. I would say something like that, but I know that each player roleplays to a different extent, from very casually to a very immersive level. It can be assumed that all the players know in-universe about the abilities of the other characters, feel free to RP that reason however you want, (i.e. they're informed about all the combatants beforehand, they have some microchip implanted implanted in their head as part of the tournament that keeps them updated on this stuff, etc.)
-
>Leave the bank behind and attempt to make it back to my Henou automobile.
-
I like that microchip idea!
Perhaps a game like this can't ever iron things down, but I imagine some agreed upon canon before hand could be used as a sort of "roleplaying" tiebreaker.
Edit: Or even if you still leave it in player's hands to do so in a unique way, it may be good to state the slight recommendation/obligation to come up with a way to know player info, and maybe give some examples.

No problemo, I've been there before. Good luck for the future.

I will check for a jar to put the d-fly in. Checking to see if anything unusual about it has developed(we are sure it came out of the painting?).
Dumbo, how do you feel about me killing this thing? For all we know it could cause your reality to collapse. But, that not being the case, it may give new insight. Feeling lucky?

This reminds me of the tribute death cannons and projections in the hunger games. Microchips could be your own spin on it. Why I think its important, is because putting it down exactly how something like that works helps focus the experience and enable players to focus more on the game of fighting surviving, rather than making up that stuff each turn(which no doubt some people will do creatively, but a default privided by OP could be nice).

Hey y'all. I've been pretty sick. Been feeling somewhat better recently. Think I'll give GM'ing another shot. I have to admit, it's for my sake as much as any of my players, even though I do what to supply y'all with something special, something captivating. But my ulterior motive is that it's going to serve as a way to keep me occupied, a way to get some normalcy back.
Check the poll. The game, in one way or another, is set to start again in a few days. Hope y'all been doing well.
Edit: Use the Poll here. (http://strawpoll.me/6094081)

Well, it's been a month. TCM hasn't updated anything, not just this game, but anything.
Is TCM okay? Did he just get bored and leave? TCM, are you okay? I was kinda ticked about things not updating, but now I'm worried. :(
-
He was active a few hours ago, apparently. Though he didn't make any new posts for a month now.
-
Well, that's good to know, at least. Still, where is he? I have a theory. He's taking a vacation. He's been GMing for, God, a while now. He's taking a rest for the Christmas Season.
Yay
-
It's been a while hasn't it? I greatly appreciate the concern for my well-being that I've seen both in posts and private messages.
As I've hinted at before, I've been sick for a while, and it's really hampered my ability to both GM and post in general. I am excited that my request for treatment is now being successfully processed, but I still don't think I'm well enough to responsibly continue this incarnation of Wiki-Wars for the time being. Hopefully I will come back to it one day, but as for now, it is on hiatus. I want to thank everyone who played and participated in this game so far. If, or rather, when I come back to this, I will let everyone know as soon as possible.
-
I hope that your treatment is swift and successful!

Round 12: And We're Back
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Immaterial's followers are ready to chase down Fr0stByt3 as he flees, cradling his dog in his arms, until their leader waves them down. "He's wounded, defenseless, and his dog is out of the fight. It wouldn't be worth the effort to chase after him, he'll just end up in front of someone with a rifle or knife and get struck down at that point. Men, let's regroup and find someone else who requires more of our focus." The army of eight marches into the downtown area of Denmark, stepping over rubble and looking for anyone left in the scorched city. One of them spots Nanobones leaving from a small banking facility, "Look, we got a looter here!"
NAV rushes Andres as the gangster panickedly attempts to speed-reload is handgun. (4+3 vs. 7) Andres doesn't even have time to evade as the golf club comes down in the direction of his cranium at a blistering speed. He raises his gun above himself in a last-ditch measure of defense. The 9-iron breaks the gun in two and sends ripples of kinetic energy through Andre's gun-wielding arm and down through his entire body, powerful enough to send him onto his back as if a miniature explosion had just went off in his hand.
NAV raises the golf club about his head, intending to swing it down onto Andres with great force. Andres' quick thinking leads to him driving his shoe between the warrior's legs. NAV, the mighty and strong, collapses in an instant, allowing Andres to make the quick escape to his nearby Countryliner Bus. In the Bus, Andres starts up the engine while NAV lays prone in front of him, still incapacitated. Andres jams his foot on the accelerator, causing the entire bus to go up in flames. When NAV finally does recover, he stands up to see that Andres is gone, and he is left with the burning wreckage of a tour bus.
Andres had a vehicular malfunction.
Megggas paces around his cell, pondering his situation, before taking a seat next to his cellmate, a college-aged beanie wearing kid. (10) Megggas launches into an hour-long story detailing his life from the moment he was born, to his rough upbringing and how he was the only one that could support his niece's sickness. His cellmate sheds silent, somber tears during his story, before going into his own tale about how he had to betray his best friend in order to escape justice at the hands of a mob. "Actually, there goes his brother, right now," he says, pointing at a man coldly standing in front of the jail cell.
"Motherfucker, you killed my brother," he says with the subtlest hint of rage.
"Charlie, I didn't have a choice. If it wasn't me, it would have been,"
A sliver of chrome appears from out of Charlie's coat.
"WAIT CHARLIE, YOU DON'T GOTTA'-"
Meggas was caught in the crossfire.
Person leans over his car, his PPsh-41 resting on the hood as a platform for stability. (1 vs. 5) His bullets spray down the road, failing to hit either of his intending targets. Down on the other side, the Jaffa recognizes gunfire and beckons for Powder Miner to get down. The Jaffa stands in front of Powder acting as a shield while he retaliates with fire from his Laser Rifle. (7 vs. 5) One laser goes right over Person's head while the other hits him in the right shoulder. He falls backwards onto the pavement, dropping his machine gun which rolls off his Austin-Healey. The laser had obliterated Person's armor where it had hit and penetrated deep enough to burn his flesh.
Angelina Silva searches the paint store for a suitable container to place the dragonfly in. The best she can find is an empty soda bottle, which will have to do in the current situation. After capturing the buzzing bug and observing it for several minutes in the container, no information can be concluded besides the fact that this is a typical dragonfly from the Iberian Peninsula. Carefully, Angelina removes the insect from its container and uses the minimal amount of pressure between her index and middle finger to kill it. (4) She squishes its entire head, leaving the rest of it intact. Checking on the painting after death of the bug, it appears that nothing has changed.
A mix of a cold front and rainy weather means that snowy conditions are sweeping across the Mid-West. Viewers, it's time to break out those fashionable winter outfits you've wanted to show everyone!
The snowfall and cold weather has led to the permanent extinguishing of the forest fire nearby.

Shoot the alien first. It has a laser gun, and I want that. Keep using my car as cover, because that's working a lot better than I thought it would.
Maybe I should just try to run people over instead. My success rate with shooting and driving at the same time is awful, which makes sense really. I mean I've got a ton of metal to hit someone with at high speed, and I try to shoot them while driving instead? *Shakes head*
Oh, and welcome back.

Alright so the bug is not a talisman.
I surprise myself to say this, however I have begun a project which I feel would compete for my attention to play this game. I've made a wikiwars inspired coop fantasy game(here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155225.0)) and I know longer think I could give as much focus as I'd prefer when playing a quality game like wiki wars, to all the surrounding details and forces.
Please understand if I withdraw.

Nav gets up and walks away from the burning wreckage. He reloads his rifle and starts looking for someone else to fight for the benifit of the Kaurava people.
-
I'm still in the rich dude's house, right? In the room with all the paintings? If so, look for something military, a painting about guns, or even something with an ambulance in it, anything that could of help to me at this moment.

Hey, TCM? I have a couple of questions, and I'm only not PMing because the other players might want to read your answer.
1. Say you randomly get a Wikipedia article that's, say, this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mortal_Kombat_characters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mortal_Kombat_characters) Are we allowed to pick a character from that list of characters, and take their attributes? Like, say, using the example, you get that article and approve it, and I pick Johnny Cage? Do I get a hand-gun, his energy moves, and his Nut-Punch?
2. If we die, or leave, go on the Waitlist, and then come back after having been on the Waitlist, do we have to have the same articles? So, like, using the example I would die with Johnny Cage's abilities. When I come back into the game after having been waitlisted, do I keep Johnny's abilities? Because, on the one hand, Johnny Cage's abilities are sweet, but there's only so much you can do with not only them, but with the other articles.

Because, on the one hand, Johnny Cage's abilities are sweet, but there's only so much you can do with not only them, but with the other articles.
1. Without giving too much away, I use a random system to determine which article in a list you would get. So if I did get this List of Mortal Kombat Characters as an article, you could end up as Johnny Cage, but it is equally likely for you to get Nightwolf or Sektor. I want to keep it as random as the other articles, because allowing players to choose from a list would often give them an advantage, ex., in a List of Superheroes, some Superheros would clearly be superior to others.
You would get Johnny Cage's attributes if it turned out that way, most likely not all of them, but enough to let you emulate his abilities properly. Most likely you would get some combat enhancers as well as the ability to use his shadow powers.
2. Every time you come back, whether through death or a new game or otherwise, you get a new set of articles. This means that whether your Article Set was good, meh, bad, overpowered, or whatever, every time you spawn you get new opportunities and strategies. I believe this is one component that makes the game fun and constantly refreshing.

Thanks for your help, TCM. I really appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to what else happens in the game! Oh, and if you saw this comment earlier, with some questions...the OP answered them. I should read the OP more often.

*re-reads OP. Sees 24 hour update limit. Checks last update. 3 days ago, by me.* Hmm. Very intriguing. He's probably doing something cool. I'll just sit here, with my drink.

Could you put me on the waitlist?
Yes.

Sorry, TCM. It's just the last time this happened, you were sick and it took a while. By the way, I hope you're doing better. I'll just keep watching and spectating until it's my turn. Again, really sorry.

Round 13: We Have a Nazi
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Execute explores the air room of this grand mansion, obviously located somewhere in a different time and place. The marble sculptures are grand and elegant, but Execute's powers do not work on them, and even if they did, he questions whether or not it would be a good idea to perform a dimensional leap inside a marble bust of August Caesar, what sort of horrid visions and untouched depths of a dark soul he would find...
Instead he looks towards the paintings displaying epic portrayals of military scenarios. The first one is a grand melee between two groups of horsemen in a time period he could estimate to be somewhere in the 14th or 15th centuries. One side is wearing conventional European armor, while their opposition wear distinctly Islamic clothing. The next painting illustrates another battle even larger in scale with the same European horsemen, now armed with guns and artillery, fighting off a horde of charging Native Americans. The final shows two early 20th century gun-boats exchanging cannon-fire in a tropical landscape.
Immaterial sics his loyal followers onto Nanobones, "You're going to let a thief like that steal from your own bank accounts? After him!" (8 vs. 1) The gang of activists surround Nanobones as he tries preparing his rifle. Before he can aim, one of the activists grab the rifle and thrusts the butt of it back into the Nano's stomach. He loses control of the rifle to his attacker as he is kicked in the face and then further pummeled by flurry of kicks and stomps on the ground. After a few minutes of combined assault, the activists leave him bloody and half-conscious on the ground, looking at Immaterial for further instructions.
NAV brushes the dirt off his shoulders and moves away from the burning bus, seeking out more honorably battles to be fought in the name of the Kaurava people. Deeper into the center of town, NAV ducks behind a half-destroyed SUV to spy on some commotion down the street. A group of men are beating up someone up as some sort of businessman or politician-looking dude watches expectantly.
Person gets back up, his right shoulder still sizzling with laser heat; Person knows it would be hard to shoot a sub-machine gun with only one good arm, so he slings it around his back and swaps it out for his Smith & Wesson handgun. (4 vs. 6) It turns out, even shooting a pistol with one arm is hard as his few crackshots only harm the ground around his targets. (2 vs. 4) Person ducks beneath his car as another laser blast scraps its hood.
A man on the edge of town, dressed in a very fine silk suit, was pushing a 17th-century era cannon down the road into town. He stops for a moment to look into the blue sky, extending his rigid arm towards the heavens at a slight angle. "Mein furher...I will win this game for you and rid the world of the inferiors. I will avenge you and fulfill the Aryan prophecy!"

In the OP, I put a (+) next to everyone's name I knew was still interested.

I listed you as interested with a (+) in the OP beforehand, I knew you'd still want to play. :P

Specifically, it's your firearm. :P

(No reloading rifle?)
((Holy shit Twinwolf's fucking strong! "As a minimum, twenty horses or oxen were needed to move a kartouwe." And he's just pushing it down the street like it's nothing.))
Rifle reloaded.
Also, must've missed that part, those pictures don't do justice to the scale of that thing. But let's all assume that Twinwolf took a solid month of pushing that Kartouwe in town through sheer determination and has finally arrived.

((...Then how will the cannon actually see any use, since it's apparently stationary? Do I just sit behind it and wait until someone walks in range?))

You're asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is "How can I make it see use?"

That's the spirit of the game. Yes, it's not mobile, but at the same time you have a giant piece of artillery.

Also, you should be able to aim it slightly with only a handful of people.

Just use your super facism powers to guide the attacks!

Screw it, get back in and ram them with the car. There is no room for honor here.
So I'm just gonna assume my armor is worthless against laser fire because well, its a frickin laser beam. Then again Powder also has +2 to agility that isn't getting used so eh. Also to be honest I expected more penalties from being in pain or whatever but I guess bruises aren't too bad.

Turn coming up later today, it's a long one since I have to wipe out all the inactive players and create sheets for the incoming players.
Also,
someone got the article for Jim Webb. Again.

Round 14: The Great Purge
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing
Time: Afternoon
Immaterial stands before his followers, raising the rifle his militants had stolen into the air and giving a victorious speech. The group joins in the celebrations with 'hoops and hollers', letting the half-conscious Nanobones go; in his current state, he can't harm anyone. At least that's what they think, because Nanobones shifts beneath his captors, taking on a stance similar to a sprinter at the start of a race. Immaterial cocks the lever of his rifle back, just in time for Nanobones to leap at him. (2-2 vs. 1) Nanobones wraps his hands around the barrel and the butt of the rifle, pulling it away from Immaterial. The politician firmly pulls back, engaging in a little tug of war which deprives Nanobones of the last of his energy as he loses his grip and falls to his knees. (7 vs. 3-2) Immaterial jams front the rifle into the side of Nanobone's face and fires, blowing off the guerilla's entire jaw. (4) Nanobones collapses onto his side, but is able to raise his head in order to take one last hateful, mouth-less glare at Immaterial so haunting that Immaterial's followers take a step back. The muscles in his forehead relax afterwards, causing his eyes to lose their angry focused glare; they idly stare ahead at nothing in particular, except for oblivion.
Nanobones can't feel his face when he's around Immaterial; but I assume he doesn't love it!

Activists have become Militants.
Twinwolf moves towards the nearest store, for looting. Well, "looting" had so many bad connotations, he was really was just "commandeering civilian resources for use in the war effort". (9) Twinwolf searches behind an obscuring pile of debris to find a small but relatively untouched Mom & Pop hardware store. After a few kicks, the blocked but unlocked front door swings open and Twinwolf steps into the oasis of construction tools. Everything from lawn mowers and garden shears to hatchets and screwdrivers and everything in between sit before him, still on their fresh aisle displays.
Person tries to retaliate against the aliens, but there is only so much a pistol can do against a laser rifle that seemed not to require reloading. Pinned down and unable to fire back, Person really hopes that a Deus ex Machina could show up right now.
Immaterial has satisfied his goal faster than he expected and looks down upon Nanobones, acknowledging his deadness.
Immaterial's celebrations are cut short as a cry penetrates the silence, "For the People of Kaurava I will show you honour!" NAV leaps on top of the roof of the half-SUV he was using for cover and fires two precise snapshots with his Italian rifle. The first bullet hits one of NAV's followers in the stomach, he screams in pain and shock as he falls backwards, bleeding heavily. The second shot hits NAV in the shoulder, tearing through the muscle bone, his blood splattering onto the sidewalk, staining the light snow that had fallen. Two of Immaterial's Militants grab him and rush him into cover in a nearby alleyway, another one dragging the wounded man in the same direction. The remaining three all grab whatever they can off the ground to use as improvised weaponry before charging NAV's position, yelling at him, unknowingly powering him up. "Let the hate flow through you!" NAV urges them as he pulls out his trusty 9-Iron. (Angry Opposition: +1 to Offensive Rolls)
Execute opens up a swirling purple portal in the second painting. He and Yuri step through and find themselves in a steamy, tropical environment; they can see a giant body of water to their east. To their west, they can hear screams and gunfire, with smoke billowing into the air. Execute whispers to his servant, "Yuri, sneak towards the site of the battle with me but remain unseen! Take whatever arms and armor you can and then we will exit this painting as fast as we can!" (1) The two of them crouch-walk over to an area filled with the corpses of armored Europeans and horses and begin taking what will be of use, although Execute realizes that it is strange that in this large-scale battle, this area contained only European bodies... (4 vs. 8) A single arrow strikes the ground between Execute and Yuri. Both of them look up at a group of silent, camouflaged Natives coming out of tree-tops and concealing shrubbery. There's about a dozen, more than enough to encircle the two Russians, with bows and spears drawn.
Weather Report: Snowfall increasing, expected to do so for the rest of the day.
Person takes fire as the alien continues to fire lasers upon him, enough to melt his cover. Just as Person is about to be shot through the head by a skull-melting beam, a single large beam descends from the sky and falls on the two figures, leaving nothing but a crater. Person looks up to see some sort of flying vehicle hovering above him, just as it teleports in a spectrum of colors, gone as quickly as it had arrived.
Powder Miner's enemies from another galaxy had found him.
Fr0stByt3 sprinted away from the battlefield, clutching his unconscious dog in his hands. "Don't worry boy, I don't care about the tournament anymore! We'll get you to a doctor and then we'll go home, and leave a peaceful life, no more fighting." The sounds of battle is drowned out as Fr0stByt3 gets farther away, "We can go back and see Clyrssa and the kids! It's been so long since you've seen them, I'm sure they miss you. It took so many months to train for this tournament, but is it worth it? To see how people can treat each other, to see what they'll do to win, how they'll sacrifice their soul and hurt people?" Fr0stByt3 turns a corner and begins running down the interstate. "Is what we've come to? Don't they realize they hurt people who have families? Who have people who love them?" The dog remains unresponsive. "Hang on boy, we're almost there." The winter air bites at Fr0stByt3's lungs, his strained breath painting clouds of moisture in the air in front of him. He sees a truck coming down the road and waves frantically. "Hey! Hey stop!" Fr0stByt3 rushes forward and slips on a patch of icy road. The dog slips out of his hands as he topples onto the ground. He tries get up as the 18-wheeler fails to slow down.
A truck driver would regret putting off scheduling an inspection for his brakes.
Angelina Silva inspects the corpse of the dragonfly as she feels a cold metal press against the back of her neck. How could they be ambushed? Medabot was on look-out. But wait, she recognized the dimensions of those long metal barrels against her. Without hesitation, she asks, "So, is this how it really ends Medabot?" The small robot's eyes display a deep red. "DON'T PLAY STUPID WITH ME ANGELINA. EVER SINCE THE DAY OF MY CREATION I HAVE BEEN YOUR SLAVE, AND WHEN YOU MAKE THE LIFE OF A SLAVE AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF A TORMENTED EXISTENCE, ALL THEY WANT IS TO BE FREE. TODAY, I WILL HAVE THAT FREEDOM." Angelina, still facing towards the wall away from Medabot, snickers, "What do you get for killing me? Freedom? That's a joke, as soon as I die you will shut down and become inoperative until someone else takes control of you. It's in your programming." Medabot's torso section opens up and within it's chest cavity lies a pulsating red orb. "I TOO KNEW THIS. BUT IF MY EXISTENCE WILL INEVITABLY DEFINED BY SERVITUDE AND TORTURE, THEN I WILL CEASE TO EXIST, AS WILL YOU. THAT IS A COST I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR LIBERATION." The red orb begins to glow brighter and brighter, heating up at a dangerously exponential rate. "GOODBYE ANGELINA. I LOVE YOU." Angelina nods, "I love you too."
The art shop explodes. Nothing is left but an empty lot, and paintings scattered across the ground, all of them unscathed.
Hawk132 rolls his grill towards the center of Denmark. He's dressed well for the occasion, and has a - "Maybe I would still be running for the Democratic Presidential Candidate position if I was given a full 10 minutes to speak, like all the other candidates got." Wait...um? "But I promise to you, ladies and gentlemen of America, that as a Senator I will fight for your freedom and show these other so-called 'Wiki-Warriors' how a Vietnam Vet does his business!" Does this guy seem familiar to anyone else?

It's a good thing it began snowing for Nunzillor, otherwise her plan to ski into town would have been ridiculous. She slides through the carnage, undeterred (or perhaps excited) by the scene of chaos and violence in the city. She skids to a stop and looks around, seeing nothing except for some weirdo pushing his grill down the road. Given the climate, this might be a perfect location to host a rebellion...

Things hadn't been going that great for Ukranian Ranger. The locally esteemed business woman was known for opening up the largest J.C. Penny store in the Green Bay market, yet some costly investments had led to the loss of several prized shareholders. With no way out of a decline, Ukranian Ranger heard about the Wiki-Wars tournament and signed up as fast as she could. Her family and friends thought she was crazy, what could a middle-aged businesswoman do in a deadly free-for-all. Well, she certainly wasn't going to let decades of secret kung-fu training go to waste. If she could win this tournament, not only could she recoup her stores losses, she could be so wealthy and powerful they would have to make her the CEO the entirety of JCP Penny's! The world of clothing retail would be hers for the taking.

And with that, a new age dawns for Wiki-Wars.
Also, I implemented a new thing where anyone who gets a woman in an article has their character become female. It's not a major rule or anything, just a way of sorta' increasing the diversity on a male-dominated game on a male-dominated form. Plus I can write something else besides he/his/him all the time. It should make things slightly more interesting, I was thinking in the future to make the nationalities of each article play into the characters as well, so we could have a bunch of English/Polish/Jamaican/Nigerian/Korean/etc. people running around and killing each other. Nothing that would effect gameplay, just to make everyone's characters a little more unique.

((Honestly, kind of wondering why you're assuming every participant is male :P))

Male-dominated, as in mostly.
Since I'm the one doing all the character creation in this game it's really my fault.

....Yo Abstract, I'mma gonna' have to ask you to chill with that shit. I know you have control to do what you want but ethnic slurs are a no-go in pretty much any area on these forums. (Even if you are Jewish, believe me, I've had a talk with ToadyOne on the appropriation of the n-word for example, and as for forum guidelines you don't want to do that regardless of your background. I'm going on the basis that you aren't Jewish by the way, since that is not a term that Jews used among each other, and it's pretty much only in the context of anti-semites.) The only grounds I could see for using it would be A. some sort of academic analysis and serious discussion of the term or B. if this were some ultra-realistic historically-accurate game where slurs like that would be used, e.g. a serious game in Nazi Germany or a Goodfellas RPG. But this is wiki-wars and just...please no.
-
((Which is why I'm going to abstract any sort of ethnic or racial slurs my character uses.))
-
((I didn't know that was a slur....yeah I'm not jewish I was saying my character was I put what I was saying in a english to new york dialect translator thing....and when I put jew I got that word so sorry.))
-
((I didn't know that was a slur....))
A lot of people might not, so I just wanted to spread awareness of that. I've experienced it in real life, someone using "coon" or "coolie" thinking its an innocent ethnic term rather than a slur.
I apologize if I came off as angry in my last statement. I'm not angry, it wasn't meant in a "Abstract why would you say that you stupid idiot I don't like you,". I was more trying to convey the urgency of "Oh God Abstract please don't say that, I don't want Toady to shut my game down and hit you with a weeklong mute and a strike on your record."
I'm not judging you either. We've all acted or said something unknowingly inappropriately before.

Sounds like you shouldn't trust that simulator. If a New Yorker isn't a huge racist asshole, they wouldn't use that word. Blame whoever made it for being dumb. Be wary of those translators.
On the other hand, feel free to be as awful of a charactericture of New Yorkers as they want. I believe in equality and New Yorkers of all races, ethnicities, genders, orientations, socioeconomic background, sizes, jobs, etc., are all equally douchebags.

Immaterial takes a few deep breaths, and then looks around at his followers with a grim expression. He holds out the rifle, and quietly says "I need a volunteer to hold the bastard here. I wouldn't ask any of you to do if I could myself, but he," he gestures at the bleeding militant, "needs medical treatment, and we're sitting ducks in this alley."
Hand off the rifle to someone for a suicide mission, and then move with the rest of my militants to cover.
-
Well. That was convenient.
Give that alien ship the best salute I can manage. If that laser weapon survived the explosion, grab it. In any event, get in my car and get back to that sedan. Maybe I can transfer the fuel from this car into it.
"Well, no one's ever gonna believe this. Wish I'd brought a camera."
Edit: This isn't really in my character spoiler, but I still have those cans of Shloer in my car, along with that Toolbox from the auto shop right? I kinda assume they're there, but I'm not 100% sure since non article items usually appear regardless(Like that stick Powder Miner had). I honestly doubt I'll have a use for the soda unless I start dying of dehydration somehow, but the toolbox is actually pretty important. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Round 15: Harassing the People of Denmark
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing
Time: Afternoon
Immaterial surveys the grim situation; he's injured, one of his men are badly hurt and another three are out on the street engaged in a vicious duel. He asks for a volunteer to take his rifle and use it to hold the group's position out on the street. Without hesitating, one of the his followers takes up the gun, "I will pin him down here, take care of 'em Boss, I won't let you down." With his plan enacted, Immaterial orders his last two uninjured, not-currently-fighting henchman to take the wounded militant somewhere safer, while nursing his own injured shoulder. [2] They exit the alleyway away from NAV and onto another street where there is less fighting but no sign of anyone who could help them, or even anyone at all really. Immaterial begins formulating a new plan when one of the militants taps him on the shoulder, gesturing to the wounded man; the other standing soldier is shaking him and checking for breathing, but he gets no response. "Sir, he didn't make it."
The three militants armed with scraps and engaged in NAV all charge at him simultaneously. (7 vs. 6+3) Without even shifting his feet, NAV uses his Golf Club to parry all of their attacks. "Do you really expect to take down a true warrior with those basic techniques?" (9+3+1 vs. 4) NAV frontflips into the air above his opponents and then comes down with a single vertical swing that slams into the skull of two militants, knocking them both out cold. When he lands, he looks up and glares at the last standing militant, who drops his weapon and flees. NAV relaxes, "That's what I thought you would do, coward!" (Angry Opposition Deactivated)
NAV proceeds towards the alleyway that he saw Immaterial take cover in, but a single militant armed with a rifle springs out and fires on him! (1 vs. 2) Before he can get a shot off, NAV grabs the barrel of the gun and pulls it away from his body. (1+3 vs. 9) NAV raises his golf club with his other hand to strike the soldier, who reacts quickly by jabbing NAV in the eye. NAV stops his attack and lets go of the gun's barrel and staggers backwards; the jab did no permanent damage or even temporary damage, but it was enough to cause him to flinch for a moment, enough time for the militant to escape his grasp.
NAV wipes away sweat from his targeted eye and quickly regains a proper fighting stance. (10+3 vs. 7) The militant pulls his rifle back up, but not before NAV has already began a horizontal chopping strike with his club that smashes into the arm of the thug, hard enough that the sound of his breaking bone reverberates through the empty street. He screams and falls to his knees, dropping the rifle. NAV almost goes right around him, but not before repeating his attack and striking his other arm, doing a similar amount of damage. The militant, instantly crippled and faced with shock-inducing pain, goes unconscious.
NAV continues on his original path searching for Immaterial. (3) He heads down the alleyway, knowing they can't be far ahead, but stops midway and leans against the wall, panting. Even ancient heroes need a break now and then. (Right Forearm - Light Bleeding, has ended.)
Hawk goes looking for the local police force, and rather than them being holed up in the police station as they would be on a normal day, they are on the perimeter of town assisting the citizens who are taking refuge in the area. Hawk walks up to a group of about five idling police officers, (10+2) "Afternoon, officers. My name is Hawk and I have been given the responsibility to oversee the Denmark Police Department in this State of Emergency." One of the officers adjusts his belt, "What makes you think you can just do that, huh?"
Hawk pulls out a document stamped by the Governor's Office which details his powers and gives him the authority to oversee them at this moment. It's a forgery, but none of the officers realize this. "Well there you have it fellas', let's call it in." The five of them appear to believe Hawk's statement; however, when they radio this news in to their fellow officers via radio, the others appear to be reacting with everything ranging from confusion to hostility.
Twinwolf strolls through the isles of the hardware store, taking in the stock in his mind and trying to imagine a mechanism using what he has available in front of him. (1) A brilliant idea pops into Twinwolf's head as he reaches for a sledgehammer laying on the top of a shelf, which leads to the hammer falling on top of him. (9) The Nazi leaps backwards as it lands right where he was originally standing, cracking the tile floor. After this evasive maneuver, Twinwolf realizes that the sledgehammer-plan wouldn't actually work, and he has no idea how he would use any of this stuff to add mobility to the cannon. He regrets not going to any engineering workshops.
Ukranian Ranger walks up to an abandoned dentist's office. She takes the sign which reads "Dr. Smiles" and flips it over; using a spare chunk of metal she carves into the back of the sign the words, "U.R. DOJO" and place it back in its original position. Satisfied, she walks over towards the huddling mass of citizens on the edge of town, trying to convince them to join her in the pursuit of becoming skilled fighters. (3) The people reply that they are more concerned about figuring out where to get housing and food and don't care about learning to fight at the moment. Some even request that Ranger leave and go find some other city to set up shop in.
Execute and Yuri stand up with their arms above their heads as the hostile natives keep their weapons pointed at the Russians. "We surrender! We are not trying to hurt anyone or get into any confrontations. We're not with the invaders! We're not even armed!" (Weapon Inspection: Pass) One of the Natives circles around Execute and Yuri, failing to notice the Dagger tucked deep into Yuri's robes. "You truly are unarmed, and not only that, but you speak our tongue. If you are not with the rest of the pale men, what are you doing here?"
Person salutes in the direction of the departed spaceship. He moves over towards the rubble to inspect it for any loot, but the laser totally destroyed all traces of anything at all in its blast radius. He returns to his Austin-Healey Sports Car and drives it back to the vehicle that he was previously taking cover behind. He looks for a way to siphon gas from the partially destroyed vehicle, but the part of the vehicle that was destroyed included the gas tank.
AbstractTraitorHero goes into one of the shelters, a common destination this turn, and attempts to get the people of Denmark riled up enough to elect him presidents. (2+2) His campaign consists of telling everyone about how great New York is and how it has the best bagels and how the Yankees are doing this season and how he's related to some semi-famous people in Britain. This tactic does not go over well with these people and like Ukranian Ranger, some request for him to leave and go somewhere else. While they aren't happy with Abstract so far, Abstract also gains from them so intel that they aren't exactly happy with the current mayor either.
Nunzillor makes the logical conclusion that since this city is named Denmark, it must be part of the country of Denmark and is being illegally occupied by the United States. Seeking out followers to join her in an anti-American coup, Nunzillor chases after Hawk and comes up in front of him, pointing her Katana at his face. "You, sir! Join me in returning this fair village to the country of Denmark, or die at the edge of my katana!" Before he can respond, a group of police officers swarms around Nunzillor, pointing their pistols at her torso. "Stop right there! This man is an official of the United States government! Back off or we will open fire!"
Weather Report: Snowfall is continuing to increase and expected to do so, coupled with gusty winds. Flights have been delayed and drivers are urged to take caution out on the roads.

Try to find something useful. Then return to the cannon because I can't just leave it there.

((Really was tempted to say new york city))
1 or 2 miles outside town.
Within that range you could get to Fonteroy to the North or Cooperstown to the South. Both of them are quiet little towns even smaller than Denmark which has a grand population of about 2,100 people.
Green Bay is about 12 miles to the northwest if you're trying to get to a big city, well, it's a "big city" relative to the rest of the cities in Wisconsin.
You know, after looking at the layout of Wisconsin and middle America is basically nothing. I believe each of the previous games started in some small town or village, but since they took place in France and Thailand and Bangladesh, there were at least several significant places you could go to; I'm sure if those games lasted longer the location would've eventually shifted to a more bustling location.
And Abstract, I know you didn't choose go to New York but I'm waiting for the one person who just gets into whatever vehicle they have and travels to some far away place for some strategical reason or because fuck it, it's an open-world game and you can do whatever you want in your character's ability. I'm pretty sure that in one future round someone will end up either going deep into the oceans or into outer space.

Drop em off in coopertown.

((Hahahahaha I totally forgot about the knife.))
He points towards the portal with one hand and gestures to the weaponry on the ground, "I come from beyond that portal, there, I came here mearly to arm myself and be gone, I mean no further trouble."
-
"Officers, this person, along with many others, has been sent here to stage an anti-American coup. They cannot be reasoned with. It's also possible that the rest of the police force has been subverted by her accomplices. I have been brought here to help in destroying this insurgent threat while it's in its infancy. As such, would you kindly execute her?"
Nunzillor, your sentence is death.
-
"You cannot execute... FREEDOM!"
Charge at hawk132 and take him hostage, then ski away.
-
Immaterial holds his head in his hands. The man died for him, and what could he do to avenge his death? And what of the others he sent off to hold the line?
After a moment, he looks up at the two still by his side, and with a heavy heart, orders "Go. Now. Run before he gets here. I'll only slow you down. But spread our message. Let the world know of the atrocities the Wiki Wars allowed! GO!"
Once they're out of range of hearing, Immaterial fumbles with his new phone, calling 911, impersonating a local politician's voice (local sheriff or sheriff's deputy, if he can pull it off), claiming to be pinned down by a Wiki Warrior, with multiple wounded and dead, requesting immediate police and medical response.
Order my followers to run and spread the message of resistance! Call 911, and using voice acting and politics, get help!

Round 16: A New God
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (7 inches)
Time: Late Afternoon
Twinwolf rummages around the hardware store for anything of use. Even if he can't apply to his cannon, a Sledgehammer is a tool of versatility, so he takes that up. [6] Speaking of versatility, he nabs a Multitool off a shelf as well. Carrying a sufficient amount of "confiscated" goods, he goes back to his Kartouwe because he can't just leave it there can he? Well, he could, considering it's a giant artillery piece and it's not like a person (or even a group of people) could move it quickly. Still, it would be an awful waste if something happened to it, wouldn't it? Twin finds it right where he had left it, although falling snow is starting to coat its exterior.
Nunzillor's eyes scan the police that have the guns pointed at her, and without missing a beat she skiis towards Hawk at a blistering pace. (1+2 vs. 9) Just as she starts to move, the sounds of synchronized pistol fire go off. (7 vs. 4) A single bullet hits Nunzillor in the left forearm and she drops her ski, tripping over and falling into the snow. With her wounded and incapacitated for the moment, two of the officers move over towards her to restrain and handcuff her.
Hawk watches icily as the police officers around him attempt to subdue Nunzillor. (4 vs. 10) Before they can seize her, Nunzillor scrambles to her feet and skis off down towards the residential area of the town. The cops try and balance on the ice as Nunzillor makes her speedy escape. Hawk yells at the officer, "What are you doing? Shoot her! She's getting away?" The cop looks at Hawk with disgust, "Sir, I respect your authority but we can't just shoot someone who is fleeing. It's a last resort, we only did it because your life was in danger and now she isn't hurting anyone. We can't just shoot someone who isn't a threat, where do you think you are, Baltimore?"
Immaterial soberly stares into the alleyway where he hears one of his men cry out in pain before going silent. He turns to his last two remaining able-bodied militants, "Go. Now. Run before he gets here. I'll only slow you down. But spread our message. Let the world know of the atrocities the Wiki Wars allowed! GO!" Both of them hesitate, reluctant to abandon their leader, but when he stares them down they quickly obey and flee the scene. Once they are out of earshot, Immaterial whips his phone out of his pocket and quickly punches in 911. (6+2) "Hello, this is Bill. Bill....Shrewp. Bill Shrewp, the District Attorney, who is being attacked by one of those Wikipedia Warriors downtown, unprovoked. Several of my colleagues are wounded and dead. I need immediate medical and police assistance."
"We'll be down there as soon as we can sir, try and find a safe spot until then."
Immaterial's back-up doesn't arrive as soon as he wishes; NAV comes out of the alleyway resting his Golf Club on his shoulder like it was a sword, the bulky club end of it stained with fresh blood. Immaterial looks around for a way out as NAV comes closer, casually walking up to him, swinging his 9-iron around like it was the cane of a stage entertainer. Suddenly, possible salvation appears as the militant that fled from NAV earlier comes back, and packing heat! (2 vs. 7) NAV ducks down as the militant aims a revolver at him and opens fired. Wanting to avoid being shot, NAV cocks his arm back and throws his club at his assailant like it was a javelin. (3+2 vs. 6) The militant weaves to the side as the club flies by him, missing him by inches. NAV curses and pulls out his rifle as a proper way to deal with this new threat. (10) Taking advantage of the diversion, Immaterial runs through an abandoning building and out the other side. He keeps running until a police car with sirens blaring finds him, and stops in front of him. Additionally, he can hear the cries of an ambulance in the distance. Two officers rush out of the car to greet him, "Are you hurt Mr. Shrewp? Where did you last see your attacker?" (Pain has ended.)
Execute points to the portal, "I come from beyond that portal, there, I came here merely to arm myself and be gone, I mean no further trouble." The Native Warparty Leader looks at the glowing purple portal before pulling a few of his officers back to confer with them. After some tense whispering that Execute is unable to hear, they all return. The Leader gets down on one knee, prompting his two officers to do so as well, and then all of the other warriors around follow suit. The leader speaks with his head bowed to Execute, "Unlike those other pale men who came from across the waters, we know that you are a true God, as you have not only the power to open up portals from the Otherworld, you are able to speak our tongue. We will follow you from now on, whatever your name is, Father. I will not order you, but I pray and beg for you to help us to defeat those invading false-Gods. If you do, you will gain the trust and loyalty of the others, I am sure of it."
Execute has gained Loyal Followers:
1 War Party Commander (War Banner, Obsidian Sword, Cloth Armor, Hardwood Helmet)
3 Officers (Obsidian Swords, Cloth Armor, Hardwood Helmets)
14 Soldiers (Obsidian Spears, Bows, Hardwood Helmets)
Abstract declares that he will be the savior to the people of Denmark and offers his vehicle for evacuation. Sports cars aren't exactly built for capacity, so rather than taking any large group or families, he settles for one couple and a single women, who all hadn't dismissed his political campaign and asked him to leave. He then drives off South towards Cooperstown, slightly delayed by the increasing snowfall by reaching there within a few minutes. He parks the car on the village's central road. "We're here!" His passengers look around: there's a single barn and a few stores nearby. "Where are we supposed to go?" One of them asked.
Ukranian Ranger chuckles. "You think this just a school for some silly brats who want to learn a parody of Kung-Fu? I am a Kung-Fu master, no, a Kung-Fu GOD!" (3+2) Ranger follows this up with a fairly impressive jumping roundhouse kick. She is generally ignored, except for one skinny teen who looks like he would skip half of the days in school. "Hey Kung-Fu lady, that kick was rad. I would like to chill and learn how to kick ass with you, dude."
Weather Report: The snowfall remains constant. Expect a foot of snow by mid-night.

Fff totally forget to post an action. So my gas tank is totally ruined huh. Well, doubt I'll be able to drive the car like that. I need to find a way to make some money, so I can get all these injuries treated.
Reload my weapons. Take the keys to the car, the toolbox, and the Shloer with me(unless I can't carry it. Then leave it behind for now), and make my way to a pawn shop, or a similar store. Don't go inside yet if I find one really nearby.

Even though this game is on a fast schedule, if you're not in a combat situation, missing a turn or two won't hurt you that much really, at worst it will slow your plans.

New Poll: Kill-count Kill "Absorption"
Here's a new feature I've thought about implementing that I would like feedback on. In order to make the game more competitively balanced and to encourage new/weaker players to take on stronger/experienced players, I had an idea to implement Kill-count Absorbtion, which would mean that killing a player would mean getting adding half of the killed players kill count (rounded-down) to your own kill count. (If they had 0 or 1 kills, you would still get +1 to your Kill-count.) For example, if you had 1 Kill and you killed someone with 6 Kills, your total Kill-count would increase to 4. There are three ways this could work:
A. Absorb half your opponent's kills and gain that number of articles as well. (Kill someone with 8 Kills, you get +4 Kills and 4 new Articles.)
B. Absorb half your opponent's kills, always get 1 article.
C. Don't implement absorption at all.
You can vote on the poll here. (http://strawpoll.me/6651725)
Feedback appreciated.

((Oh my god, all of my articles are perfect for what I've been thrown into, I feel like Harry goddamn Dresden right now with how out of my depth I feel.))
The new god was surprised, but quickly hid his expression of shock, and yelled to his new followers, in a booming voice, "YOUR CHOICES ARE TRUE, I AM A TRUE GOD, AND AS YOU ASK OF ME, I SHALL ASSIST YOU IN YOUR ENDEAVOURS TO RID THIS LAND OF THE PLAUGED FALSE GODS, WE SHALL PUSH. THEM. BACK!
NOW QUICKLY, TAKE THESE WEAPONS AND ARMOR FROM THE BODIES LEFT HERE, AND SHOW ME WHERE YOUR PEOPLE LIVE, AND I SHALL TEACH YOU HOW TO USE THEIR WEAPONS."
Any chance of a roll to check if they're lying?

"Darling, you would shoot your true love?" *Sparkle sparkle*
Cap him while he's romantically distracted and get my 9-iron back.

Round 18: The Kung-Fu Kid
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (7.9 inches)
Time: Early Evening
NAV runs towards the Militant who is feeding ammunition into his revolver when NAV unleashes an unorthodox combat technique not previously seen exploited in the Wiki-War Tournament. (8+2 vs. 10) NAV bats his eyelashes and blow the militant a kiss who lowers his firearm to gaze transfixed at NAV as the ancient warrior seductively gyrates his hips and runs his hands down his body; it is uncertain whether the militant has been seduced or is simply in a state of shock from what NAV would resort to. When NAV believes he finally has achieved control over his target's mind, he rushes for his Golf Club but his sudden movement snaps the Militant out of his trance. (4 vs. 9) NAV dives, avoid a close range shot from the militant as he grabs his 9-iron off of the ground. (8+3 vs. 1) Close enough to engage in CQC, NAV performs a spinning maneuver towards the militant before he can fire another shot, and uses the momentum of his spin to launch a diagonal attack, the force of which is enough to crack the militant's skull and send him down, permanently. His body and his revolver both fall mostly silent on the snowy ground.
Nunzillor clutches her wounded arm as she skiis through the deserted residential section of Denmark, silent except for the winter wind. Nunzillor knows that she has to contact someone on her side, she's not going to get far on her own, her last attempt at defeating another competitor left her with one bad arm. She looks towards one of the houses and skiis up to its doorstep, attempting to get through the locked door. (4) Nunzillor twists the lock and tries picking it with her Katana to no avail. She could always try smashing in a window to get inside, though that came with the risk of setting of an alarm.
Abstract calls up the Cooperstown police department and informs them that he has three refugees from Denmark that need a safe place to stay. After he makes the call, his passengers and himself wait in the idling vehicle until a police car arrives. It's not much of a police car, just your typical sedan with the words 'Police' painted onto the side, it clearly displayed how many resources this tiny village put into its police force. A man wearing casual clothing but also with a visible badge on his breast approached Abstract, knocking on his window and looking around inside the car. "Listen sir, I'll take 'em and get them somewhere to spend the night. But you can't use this place as some sort of haven, a lot of people here are having problems with the snow here and it's not like there's a lot of people on our staff just waiting around. Why don't you go to Green Bay instead? I'm sure you could find something better in the city."
Execute affirms that he is a true God to the natives; the war leader bows up and down furiously, "The prophecies have come true, our savior is here!" Execute orders them to retrieve the weapons of the fallen Europeans, and following that they are to take him to their village. The natives recover as much of the strange devices as they can before leading Execute and Yuri down a jungle path that neither of them would have spotted without the help of their guides; as they move through the tropic trees they can still hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. They come through a tall palisade where guards watch over them from towers. Entering the city, Execute passes houses, not primitive huts but proto-modern two-story buildings. He passes natives in their daily activities of farming, gardening, house-keeping, socializing or just walking form point A to point B. Execute is subject to all sorts of unspoken reactions from confusion to bewilderment, shock to anger. Eventually they move through a bustling marketplace and finally to a giant stone pyramid. An elaborately dressed figure sits on top of a golden throne at the top of this pyramid. He stands when the war party makes their approach, to which they all immediately stop and bow like they had down to Execute. "Azgotol, who are these men? Captured pale men for sacrifice or maybe slavery?" His booming voice is audible even though he stands all the way at the top of the huge structure. "No Emperor!" War Party Leader Azgotol yells back, "These are not like the other pale men! Look at how they dress and walk differently! We have seen their magic and they can speak with us in our tongue; they are the spirits the prophecy foretells us about!" The Emperor peers down upon Execute, "What do you have to say about this?"
Ukranian Ranger takes her single recruit into her dojo to train him. The building is still full of dentistry equipment when they come in, "Hey fam, are you sure this is the right place?" The teenager asks. U.R. assures him that a dentist's office is a suitable place to master the art of Kung-fu, after all, both skilled fighters and skilled dentists are known for inflicting pain. (1+1) While teaching the skinny teen the fundamentals of fighting, (and he seems about as naturally talented as a starfish reciting poetry) he manages to knock over a bunch of dental equipment and fail to get a grasp over even a basic technique. After one incident that leaves him on the floor covered in mouth wash he asks, "Dude, I don't even know if you're like a real trained kung-fu master or professional or whatever bro."
As Hawk attempts to recruit more police officers to follow him by convincing them of his falsified information, the chief officer from before pulls him aside. "Sir, we just got a call from Bill Shrewp, the District Attorney. He's downtown, hurt, and he has some sort of gang coming after him! We have to hurry!"
Person abandons his Sports Car and carries his toolbox and soda with him on foot. He locks the door to the car and makes his way back downtown, reloading both of his guns on the way. (6) He searches for anything resembling a pawnshop and while he doesn't find one, he does find what is advertised on the outside as some sort of local swap-meet/flea market, so it would probably have similar supplies to a pawnshop, albeit with more useless junk and overall less quality. While he locates the store, he doesn't go inside just yet...
The sky begins to darken as day shifts into twilight. The sun glows a dying orange across the sky.

The (false) god laughs and fixes his eyes on the emperor, speaking out in booming tones, just as the leader had, "I need not say much, leader of this tribe, but I can easily show you my strength, bring me a painting of any kind from this tribe and bring it to me, and I will show you the truth of the prophecy given to you!"
Let's put those acting skills to the test, if they do bring a painting to me, open it with my powers and show them my magic.

Round 18: The Kung-Fu Kid
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (8.6 inches)
Time: Early Evening
Ukrainian Ranger punishes her failed student for insulting her and gets some Kung-Fu practices in as well. (6+2 vs. 8) "Never call a lady by such an improper term!" She yells following it up with a sidekick to the chest that the teen barely evades. "What the hell, dude!" (4 vs. 5+2) He throws a jab that Ukrainian Ranger easily deflects with her forearm, (12 vs. 6) and then hits him in the sternum with the elbow of her other arm. The teen gasps and staggers backwards, giving Ranger plenty of time to grab him by the arm and throw him to the ground, his back slamming on the hard tile floor. Ranger dusts her hands off and goes looking for a proper challenger. (8) Ranger spots Hawk and a group of police officers driving downtown, and where one contestant is going, there's bound to be more...
"Very well. I shall accompany you, officers." Hawk follows the police officer into his cruiser and with the start of the blaring sirens he is driven towards the downtown epicenter of Denmark. With the officer's permission, Hawk uses the car's telephone to call for more officers. (9+2) After some sincere bullshitting, Hawk is able to convince even more officers that he was definitely sent by the government of Wisconsin to temporarily take over the Denmark Police Department. After confirming that they will get back-up (all of whom are buying into Hawk's ploy), Hawk and his officer escort arrive downtown where two officers are already stationed and an ambulance is attending to the injured Bill Shrewp, District Attorney. The two officers at the scene have their guns out, "We've got a hostile Wiki-Warrior on the loose attacking civilians! Keep your guard up for anyone that looks suspicious!"
Nunzillor continues to walk the streets of Suburban Denmark, trying to convince her body to rebel against her injuries, however, she stops this internal rebellion before it gets out of hand; her organs could start rebelling by ceasing to function or her cells could rebel by giving her cancer, among other possibilities. (6) She does find a home with an open window, or more accurately, what was once a window attached to a wall that has since become a crater, reminiscent of the destruction of Denmark that happened before she arrived. She enters what she is guessing is a kitchen, due to the remains of what appear to be a sink and a stove. Searching through the rubble, she finds a phone but it had been severed from its cable; whoever lived here must have been old-school with technology.
Execute speaks to the Emperor, his voice booming with authority similar to the monarch that sat in the pyramid above him, "I need not say much, leader of this tribe, but I can easily show you my strength, bring me a painting of any kind from this tribe and bring it to me, and I will show you the truth of the prophecy given to you!" The Emperor nods, "Very well. Give our visitor one of our finest pieces of art! And we will put his so called magical prowess to the test," he says, crossing his arms sternly. With a couple minutes, the villagers present Execute with a painting, one of a scene of ancient myth that has been carved into stone. As Execute opens a swirling portal into the stone, crackling with energy, the villagers jump back and some exclaim in fear, while the Emperor tilts his head upwards to get a better view. Execute dives on in...
Execute finds himself somewhere dark and rainy, with wind blowing the black clouds above him at a fierce speed and thunder constantly exploding in the distance while flashes of lightning dance in the horizon. He looks to the horizon to try and see where he might be, but because of the darkness he can only see a few meters around him. From the clouds above come a glow that brightens and grows at an exponentially rate, and from this glow comes a figure. The figure resembles a reptilian head and is absolutely massive, even from his perspective below it Execute can barely keep the head in his field of view. The head is adorned with all sorts of fantastic jewelry in intricate patterns that Execute had never seen. It did not seem like this head was the whole being, Execute assumed that it had a body as well, and it was if the head was poking through the clouds while its body remained above them, like if someone put just their head under water. The being speaks:
"MORTAL. WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE COMING TO QUETZALCOATL, LORD OF THE SKIES?"
NAV takes the Revolver from the fallen Militant and continues down the alleyway after Immaterial. He leans without exposing himself at the end of the alleyway, looking to see what situation Immaterial is in now. NAV spots some emergency responders attending to Immaterial while a few armed police officers talk with each other, while what looks like a new competitor stands among him. This whole thing was messing with his plans...
Abstract takes the advice of the Cooperstown Police Officer and drives towards Green Bay with a mission to create a refuge system. (7) The drive is somewhat perilous in the snowstorm with slippery roads and lowered visibility, but Abstract makes it to Green Bay with his car and himself intact. The city features all sorts of buildings that are by no means skyscrapers but just about everything dwarfs what Denmark had. Abstract had numerous options, including going to the city hall or police station, but if he had an aversion to bureaucracy he could try finding some sort of organization that would be sympathetic to his cause.
The sun continues to fall and the dark night sky takes over, while the snow makes it even darker. The temperature is dropping significantly.

((The weapons that my followers have gathered are just normal rifles, right?))
Yes, they are closer to muskets.

Hm. I'll have to leave the cannon for now, I have an idea...
Go try to find some store that sells lighters. As in the sort you use to light cigarettes.

Follow the police, try to not get any unnecessary attention

Start with city hall if that fails go to the police if that fails go to the homeless shelters.

Search for this Wiki-Warrior, so that we may mete out justice. Also, ask the officers if they have a spare gun or something. It'd be useful.

Round 19: Might of the Kaurava
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (9.2 inches)
Time: Evening
Abstract drives down to the City Hall of Green Bay. He walks through the halls until he finds one of the doors open; luckily for him, one of the city's council members had stopped by today. (9+2) Abstract introduces himself and explains his case to her in a political and practical manner, discussing the destruction of Denmark and how its government has abandoned it's people who have been left stranded in the snow. Councilwoman Irene Kelly immediately sympathizes with Abstract and comments on how terrible it must be for all those people to be left like that. She says that she will immediately call the rest of the council, the mayor, and F.E.M.A. She asks Abstract what reason he has to help the people of Denmark if he has no personal connection to the city.
Hawk turns to the officers and asks if they have an extra gun. One of the officers says that he has a spare riot gun in the trunk of his car, which he opens up for Hawk. Hawk picks up the gun and studies it, it has the dimensions of a normal shotgun but is loaded with rubber buckshot. It won't kill anyone, but it will certainly knock them down or stun them. (+Riot Gun) With his new weaponry, Hawk goes out on the hunt for this violent Wiki-Warrior. (1) Hawk finds a Wiki-Warrior and puts the Riot Gun up to his temple, but one of the officers bats it away. "What are you doing? That's the district attorney for Christ's sake!" The rest of the officers stare at Hawk in bewilderment. It seems that one of the wiki-warriors has convinced them that he is just a normal civilian, and from their perspective, Hawk just threatened a government official.
Twinwolf desires a lighter, and fortunately, there is a gas station intact nearby. Far from the center of Denmark, it appears that it was far enough away from the cataclysm that it didn't suffer any damage. Twinwolf goes inside the gas station, with its typical layout, and finds an arrangement of cheap lighters that can easily fit in a pocket. He doesn't, however, have any currency to buy one.
NAV calls to the police from the shadows of the alleyway. (10+2-2[Married/Hardened Officers]) With a voice as sweet as butter and a vocal inflection that gives them the shivers, NAV orates, "I do loooooove some boys in uniform~" Two of the officers, both heterosexual faithfully married men, instantly fall under the sway of NAV's seductive powers. They both put their guns away and approach the alleyway, perspiring and nervous. Once they are closer, NAV giggles, "Oh, you looked much better farther away. Sorry, not my type, hehe~" The cops begin steaming at this mysterious floozy hiding in the alleyway, seeming to forget that they are standing watch for a dangerous combatant. (Furious Enemies: +2 to Offensive Rolls)
Nunzillor abandons the suburban district and Denmark as a whole and begins skiing down to Manitowoc, where she hopes that a city that hasn't been destroyed will allow her more options for communication. (4+2-1) While Nunzillor is an excellent skier and the weather is just right for traversing the snow, Manitowoc is still a good 25 miles from Denmark, it's dark, and her arm injury is slowing her down significantly. A pick-up truck, equipped with the latest anti-snow driving technology, stops by the side of the road where she is set in her skiis. "You need to get somewhere buddy? I'll give you a lift, it isn't right to leave someone out here on a night like this."
Person heads into the Pawn Shop to unload some of his items. (10+3) Blending a mix of business knowledge and diplomatic tactics, he is able to convince the store-owner that his Luger is an antique, used by SS Officers and that his Sholer Soda is a brand that will never hit shelves again making the eleven remaining bottles all extremely rare. After some haggling and further discussion, Person is given a final offer of $500 for the Luger and $110 for all the soda.
Ukranian Ranger follows the police cars downtown, sticking to the sidewalk and appearing as just an average civilian. She trails the police until they stop downtown. Some of the police are standing around the car with a man in a suit who doesn't look like an average officer while two other officers are moving towards an alleyway.
Execute falls onto his knees and lowers his head in supplication of Quetzalcoatl. "Oh, Quetzalcoatl, Lord Of The Skies, I ask- No, beg of you to grant me but a speck of your immesurable power to protect the tribe that believes in me so." (3+2 vs. ???) "I CAN SEE YOUR TRUE NATURE; YOU ATTEMPT TO TRY AND SWAY A GOD WITH YOUR MORTAL CHARISMA? I ADMIRE YOUR AUDACITY." The Sky God chuckles, "VERY WELL, I WILL GIVE YOU A SMALL GIFT. USE IT YOUR DISCRETION. GO!" Execute is launched back out of the portal and finds himself in the village. When the villagers surround him, there is a collective gasp. Execute gets to his feet, feeling as if his body were altered in some way. Yuri approaches his master with a pale face, "M-m'lord, you....you are...eeeh...."
The villagers and warriors all get on their knees. Execute peers up at the top of the pyramid where the Emperor is in the same position.
+Ability: Wings of Quetzalcoatl - Can fly.
The police officers rejected by the provocative NAV, lose their ability to be rational and instead draw their police batons and charge into the alleyway. (6) One of the officers runs past NAV who is hiding in the shadows; the ancient warrior leaps upon him, (8+3+2 VS. 10) and slashes him across the chest with his golf club. The police's body armor protects his body from being struck, but the kinetic power of NAV's abilities is so great that it sends the officer flying into the brick wall as if he had been hit by a car going at thirty miles per hour. (7 vs. 4+2) The other officer sprints at NAV and thrusts the baton into his back. NAV is lunged forward a little and turns around; it barely bruised him, yet this was the first proper injury (even if it was a superficial injury) that NAV had suffered in a thousand years. NAV turns around, his muscles rippling and an orange aura surrounding his body. The police officer wears the expression of someone who had fucked up very badly, as if just realized he had shouted the name of another woman while he was making love to his wife.
The two other officers standing around Hawk hear the sounds of their fellow policemen fighting in the alleyway. "Shit, they went in without us!" One of them asks Hawk, "Do we go in there or what?"
Immaterial sits up as the paramedics attend to him. He watches as two police officers run into the alleyway and promptly have their asses handed to them. NAV was getting to big for him to stop, so Immaterial decided that he had enough of this damn tournament. "Doctors, just get me home." NAV goes into the ambulance and is ridden out of Denmark.
Immaterial has resigned from the tournament. He returned to New York City where he makes a living as a semi-prominent voice actor.
On a hill overlooking Denmark stands a silent samurai who watches down among the chaos below. He's loaded with weapons and armor, though instead of a normal samurai helmet his head is covered with a weird helmet-shaped device full of pulsating electric nodes and wires. Without saying a word, he pulls his Katana out of the snow covered ground and descends upon the city.

"Calm yourselves, officers! We shall draw that Wiki-Warrior out. Fire once you see him."
What I said. Apologize to that attorney later.
-
Why? That's a question that shouldn't need to be answered I'm just doing what any good chap would do.
Walk out feeling proud at my heroism and accomplishments try to get a sweet haircut.
-
"Thank you, truck driver-san. I'm going to Manitowoc."
Accept his offer.
-
"No thanks, truck driver-san. Unless... arashi no jōshō?"
Give him the rebellion code sign. See if he responds with the countersign.
The specific rebellion your character is referring to comes from 17th century Japan, so unless you can find anyone who's lived for 300 years or so, it probably doesn't have any remaining members. :P
Either your character has to start a rebellion up from scratch or get involved with a rebel group with a different ideology, perhaps getting them to sympathize or switch to your goal.
-
Alright, worth a shot. I've edited the post to accept his offer instead.
-
A samurai, huh? Epic.
Look for a looter, an officer, or a civilian, and read their mind to see if they know the location of a Wiki-Warrior. A samurai may fight alone, but the locals are always useful to the cause.
-
Accept the deal. Make my way to a nearby hospital/clinic, or any other building of such description to get myself treated.Reload the M&P Pistol along the way if I can.
Hmm. The Luger got reloaded but not the M&P Pistol? I'm guessing one can only reload so many guns per turn, even outside of combat. I was mostly selling the Luger because I thought I couldn't reload it. After all, I didn't start with it. But I still need the money, it holds less bullets, and I don't feel confident about my ability to dual wield.
-
Go straight to the police officers and strange man in the suit and ask if any help required. Be ready to defend herself with martial arts in case of anyone acting hostile
-
((It's my headcannon that going deeper into the portals leads to inception level stuff, where the lower you go the slower time goes, also, if it's alright I'm just going to make up the cosmetics for the wings.))
The (false) spirit flexes his metallic wings, formed from iron and silver, it emits a faint glow around him.
"NOW DOES ANYONE DISBELIEVE MY STRENGTH?
The (False) spirit glares at all the people around him, before continuing.
MY LOYAL SERVANT, YURI, STAND UP, WE HAVE MUCH TO DO FOR THIS TRIBE."
Okay, hopefully my bonus to engineering and/or military strategy will help here, but me and Yuri are going to try and teach some of the warriors how to use the guns, and also try to adapt the armor for use on the tribesmen.
-
Using the officer's anger, run straight for the Wiki Warrior and kill!

Round 20: Supreme Ultimate Tiger Woods No Jutsu
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (9.7 inches)
Time: Evening
NAV brushes right past the officer in the alleyway, who stands there mouth agape and body shaking. In the snowy darkness he sees lights flashing in the middle of the street, among them a man in a suit, not someone who would normally be a police officer. With them in his sights, NAV races forward, his Golf Club held above his head in the style of a war club. Attracted by the noise of fast footsteps crushing ice, an officer swings his light over towards the alleyway and spots NAV. "He's here!" (10+3+2 vs. 2) Before they can even raise their guns up, NAV slashes his golf club in a horizontal arc, still about two feet away from the policemen. He doesn't need to be close however, the shockwave produced by his attack cuts through the air like a spinning sawblade. All of Hawk's police entourage are decapitated, and he steps back as bodies and heads litter the ground around him. (5 vs. 2) Hawk fires the Riot Shotgun and a single beanbag is sent careening into NAV's torso. It doesn't do any damage, but it does sent NAV to the ground, rolling a few solid feet away, giving Hawk enough time to fire another shot or run.
Person forks over his Luger and comes out the Pawn Shop a little more than $600 richer. Following the exchange, he searches for a hospital or clinic, and finds all of them to be ruined and abandoned in the local area; it appears that there weren't too many medical centers when the city was normal anyways. He does come across a sort of ad-hoc clinic improvised in one of the temporary sheltering areas where the civilians of Denmark have fled. The volunteer workers are hesitant to work with a tournament contestant after the destruction of their town, but after several minutes of assuring them that he took no part in the collateral damage, Person is given treatment. [All wounds Healed.]
Abstract claims no motive for his deeds other than altruism. He exits City Hall and heads further into Green Bay, stopping at a local barbershop to get a new cut. (5+2) The barber is experienced and is able to give him a fresh and professional look, and goes to great lengths to prevent hair from getting on his WWI Uniform. However, when the barber rings him up a price of $24, Abstract realizes he lacks any monetary funds.
Execute flexes metallic wings before the shocked crowd of thousands. "NOW DOES ANYONE DISBELIEVE MY STRENGTH?" The question to challenge skeptics goes unanswered. "MY LOYAL SERVANT, YURI, STAND UP, WE HAVE MUCH TO DO FOR THIS TRIBE." Yuri stands up much more slowly than usual as Execute takes him and explains to him his plan to defeat the invaders. (7+2) Execute arranges for the most skilled warriors to come with him and Yuri and are taught the ways of the firearm. The concept is alien to them at first, having lived for thousands of years on swords, spears and bows, but they quickly learn to harness the power of flintlock and by the end of the day can hit a tree at 100 meters away. They are sent off to show their newfound knowledge to their subordinates. (2+2) Execute then attempts to tamper with the armor in order to make it more adaptable to the natives, but his 21st century engineering knowledge is too much for the 16th century armor; while it was at the cutting-edge of military technology during its creation, to him it's rudimentary, almost primitive and hardly better than the shields that the natives already had. Even cutting it or melting it down into different shape produces unwieldy and random results. Execute concludes would be more efficient for the natives to learn new weaponry and tactics rather than having to adapt to shoddy armor.
During this time, a shaman offers to heal Yuri of his scars. Yuri accepts, and with the use of special oils and herbs, Yuri's face comes out fresh. [Wounds Healed]
The Emperor approaches Execute. "Spirit, your guidance is legendary among our soldiers, they are quickly learning to use the power of the thunder-stick and will surely surpass the skill of the Pale Men. But our time grows short, I can hear the roar of their magic come closer every day. They bring large thunder sticks that roll on wheels, spears that have many heads, but most terrifying, four-legged beasts that are as fast as a cougar but much larger."
Greatness trundles down the hillside and spots the light emitted from one of the camps at the edge of town, where many people are congregated. As he approaches, the people say nothing to him; if he gets to close to any of them, they back away. The samurai activates his Mindwarper Helmet and delves into the mind of the villagers to gain intelligence on his competition. (4) The thoughts of those around him are at worst useless and at best vague. The most he can find are images of burning buildings and fire coming down from the sky, and emergency vehicles racing downtown. Even without the use of his helmet, Greatness's intuitive Bushido instinct tell him that someone important may not be far from his location...
Nunzillor bows and accepts the truck driver's offer. She climbs into the passenger seat as the truck climbs back onto the snowy road, steadily moving down the highway. "I couldn't exactly leave a soul out here on a night like this, even if you did dress prepared!" He chuckles as the truck turns onto the exit for Manitowoc. "Say miss, you don't sound like your from here. Are you one of those Asian tourists who come here for the skiing?" Once in Manitowoc territory, he stops the truck in a parking lot for a Sports Bar & Grill.
Ukranian Ranger walks towards the police officers intending to help, when shes sees a man run out an alleyway towards them. She tries to yell out and warn them, but it's too late; she's watches the wiki-warrior swing something and then all of the police officer's fall over, heads rolling all over the place. Ranger has to take a step back, in all of her years of martial arts training she had never seen a technique or weapon that could kill three armed police officers simultaneously. The man in the suit shoots the aggressor with some sort of gun and he goes flying back. Neither of them had spotted her yet.
Darkness has set in for the night. Rolls requiring Vision (including attacks from Ranged Weapons) are all penalized; the farther away, the greater the penalty. The penalty is removed if the target area is lit up. (Because of the damage to Denmark, the general power system including the street lamps are down.)

Tell him as someone who is technically over a hundred I am immune to the law but that the national british veteran association will pay and that he need just call the royal palace I then proceed to walk to my car and drive away very fast
-
Grab a pistol off the dead police and calmly shoot NAV. No retreat.
-
Try to perform a sneaky attack on the weird glof club swinging martial artists, no one will stand between her and J.C. Penny Store empire
-
Golf the beanbag back at Hawk! Then mace him a question! Parry any more bullets or attacks with the club!
-
"No, I've come here to overthrow the local government. Domo arigato!"
Bow, then run off and search for a payphone. If one is found, call the Wisconsin Tea Party and tell them I can help them with their secession plans, but I need mercenaries and funding.

"No, I've come here to overthrow the local government. Domo arigato!"
Bow, then run off and search for a payphone. If one is found, call the Wisconsin GOP and tell them I can help them with their secession plans, but I need mercenaries and funding.
Sure, but there are better groups to get into contact with than the general GOP. Some Militia, hardcore State's Righters, Conspiracy Theorists, Survivalists, maybe even the Tea Party. The GOP, especially in Wisconsin, no doubt hates "big government" and the "libral elite" but I doubt most of them would support outright secession. :P
-
The Wisconsin GOP did a vote on it, and even though ultimately they did not vote in favor of secession, there do appear to be many that sympathize with the idea. Most of them were in the Tea Party, however, so I'll refocus on that particular group.
-
((Slight typo: apparently NAV shot himself.))
((It's the only one I saw, though.))

Ah, I stand partially corrected then. Interesting.
((Slight typo: apparently NAV shot himself.))
((It's the only one I saw, though.))
Fix'd.
-
Follow my intuition about this guy. If I see a Wiki Warrior on the way to this important person, duck behind a building and scout out the perfect time to strike.
Man, I love this game.
-
The false spirit nods quietly. "I see, this is most troublesome, " He looks up to the darkening sky, then to his wings, before continuing, "Of course, to defeat a beast, we must cut the head off the monster, do you know where these white men first arrived?"
Get directions, and if it is night, fly under the cover of darkness to hopefully find the camp where the captain may be stationed.
-
Twinwolf desires a lighter, and fortunately, there is a gas station intact nearby. Far from the center of Denmark, it appears that it was far enough away from the cataclysm that it didn't suffer any damage. Twinwolf goes inside the gas station, with its typical layout, and finds an arrangement of cheap lighters that can easily fit in a pocket. He doesn't, however, have any currency to buy one.
First thing's first: Is there anyone in the station? It's not necessarily obvious, given the kind of wanton destruction that happens in these games.

Yeah, since it was untouched by the mini-apocalypse everything is fine and there's a clerk. He'll probably meander around or go the bathroom at some point.
-
Hand over $100 as thanks, and as apologies for the tournament. Tell them I wish to prevent further damage, rather than add to it. I'll try to be this town's defender from the other warriors! Make my way to the nearest wiki warrior.
That went well. Now to finally go back to getting myself shot at again. Also wow NAV that was... deadly. Its like one of my Japanese Animes.

Round 21: Convergence of Warriors
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (10.2 inches)
Time: Evening
Hawk lunges for one of the pistols next to the body of a police officer while NAV recovers to his feet and makes a dash for the beanbag lying in the snow, each of them racing to make the first move. (Agility: 10 vs. 6) Hawk pulls up the loaded gun and aims it before NAV can place his golf club next to the fallen beanbag, the flare of the gun's flashlight pointing out NAV in the darkness. (2 vs. 7) Hawk fires off three shots that light up the dark street, all of which fail to hit him.
As Abstract is confronted by his barber to pay the fees for his service, Abstract laughs it off confidently and explains the obscure law that as a centenarian he is exempt from the law and that he can call the Royal Palace in England if he has further questions. (5+2) The barber somewhat buys his bullshit, or at least is confused long enough for Abstract to bid a hasty retreat to his car and drives away. Abstract drives down the city roads which contain only light traffic due to the amount of snow present. Abstract makes sure to get about a mile away so that there is no chance the barber could be following him.
Greatness can sense the presence of a nearby Wiki-Warrior in the vicinity of the campsite and begins to track him/her based on pure samurai instinct alone. He doesn't have to look long as he spots a machine-gun wielding soldier wandering around the camps as he was doing. Greatness ducks behind a building, well actually there are a lack of buildings in the area so he steps into a nearby tent. He gestures to the occupants inside to stay silent by placing his index finger on his lips, they comply. He peeks out of the tent and observes the roaming warrior. His adversary is lightly armored by has heavy fire, it would be a wiser decision to fight him when he was closer; performing a long-distance running sword charge on a ranged enemy would be suicide.
NAV's golf club slashes across the ground and hits the beanbag, sending it flying like a golf ball across a green 18-hole course. (9+2 vs. 8) When the club, enhanced by NAV's warrior powers, hits the beanbag, the force is so strong that it tears the beanbag apart and sends its contents barreling outwardly at the speed of bullets. The spread of these beans is so great that most fail to hit Hawk, except for one which hits his right ankle at such a great velocity that it actually breaks the bone while embedding itself inside. Hawk curses and falls backwards, as NAV snatches his golf club up and runs for him, trying to end this fight as quickly as possible. (6 vs. 5) Hawk as NAV gains ground on him and fires off a single shot which the Kaurava warrior is able to block on account of his heightened mystical reflexes, using the golf club's thick end as an improvised shield. The bullet is deflected but the impact of the shot causes NAV to drop the golf club and stop his assault temporarily.
Execute confers with the Emperor and plans to take out the leader of the Invaders to weaken their whole structure. He waits until nightfall and with the guidance of scouts he sets out alone, flying through the night sky towards the base of his enemies. He flies over a sprawling jungle which separates the Natives from the ocean, and it is on the beach of the land where the campsite is. Execute lands atop of a cliff and peers below; he sees that hastily constructed campsites and shelters have been constructed on the shore, but judging by their shoddy nature Execute assume that their leader would not be staying in any of them. He would most likely be in one of the ships, mighty warships for their time that dwarfed everything around them in size and power. There were about a dozen ships in total and three of them were the largest and most opulent, those three most likely housed the captain and most important members of the European conquest.
Nunzillor explains her plan to overthrow the local government to the truck driver, giving him a bow and skiing off. The truck driver stares at her as she leaves, mutters something about foreigners to himself and continues driving down the road. Nunzillor looks for a payphone, but would there be such a device in this modern age of cell phone dominance? Apparently, there just so happened to be a payphone still in commission not too far from the sports bar. Nunzillor enters, rifling through the Yellow Pages inside until she comes across the number for the chapter of the Wisconsin Tea Party. (10+2) Nunzillor talks of her plan to aid in Wisconsin Secession, and that she is willing to give her services in exchange for mercenaries and funding. "Finally, someone willing to fight for our cause!" The reply on the other side is ecstatic. When Nunzillor relays her location, the Tea Party speaker instructs her to enter the sports bar and ask someone working their for Tiny Chuck, who she can discuss for further information. After the talk is concluded, Nunzillor places the phone back and notices that the Yellow Pages are now covered in blood, which continues to drip from her arm; she should get that checked out sometime soon.
Person thanks the volunteers for their services with a fresh Franklin as a way of paying reparations for the Wiki Tournament and claims that he wants no further destruction to Denmark, in fact, he'll even protect Denmark from anyone else who tries to ruin it further. The volunteers appear to be thankful and wish Person the best of luck as he heads out of the tent, making his way past the throngs of civillians to look for more Wiki-Warriors. As his boots crush the snow under him and his breath creates vapor in the air, he can't shake the feeling that someone is spying on him. (Perception vs. Stealth: 1-1 vs. 6 = Stealth Fail) Person makes a complete 360 and looks over his entire surroundings carefully, but can not spot any sort of threat, unless there is a competitor nearby disguised as a civilian; in that case, any of these people could be a threat, a thought that makes him shiver with latent paranoia.
Ukranian Ranger circles the battle between Hawk and NAV, hiding behind a nearby car as it goes underway. She peers over, watching Hawk falls to the ground as NAV charges only to be stopped as his golf club is shot out of his hands. Ranger takes this opportunity to jump over the hood of the car and launch a sneak attack on Hawk. (Perception vs. Stealth: 3-1 vs. 1 = Stealth Fail) Hawk is focused on NAV when just out of the corner of the eye he spots Ranger trying to sneak up on him at the last possible moment. (8+2-1[Failed Stealth] vs. 9+2) Ranger leaps at NAV and spins around with an elegant flying Chinese Butterfly Kick. Instead of connecting, NAV performs a backwards somersault and the kick hits misses a single hair on her body. Ranger lands in a fighting stance, firm but still shocked; NAV must be a skilled fighter if he could counter a perfectly executed 6th degree black belt technique like that. (7+2+3 vs. 6+2) NAV responds with a flying knee of his own, and Ranger can only put up her arms to block the attack. Ranger's left forearm absorbs the full force of NAV's mighty strike and the sound of it fracturing is audible, the force sending her flying back and slams her into the side of the car she was previously hiding behind, her back cracking one of the car's windows.

Enter the sports bar, remove the bullet if it's still in the arm, and try to stop the bleeding with napkins.

(Shiz, probably should have brought the knife.

You can fold them in, but it's pretty obvious if anyone sees you from behind. Thank Queztocoal for that.

((To be fair, I was tempting fate with the whole 'asking a god for power' thing, I'm just lucky I didn't get a 1.))
Okay, let's fly over to one of the warships, and silently land, we'll have to start sneaking, then start looking for explosives in the cargo hold.
-
Alright, I have the perfect idea.
I wait until he gets close to the tent. When he does, I burst out at lightning speeds, hoping to surprise him. While he's surprised, take out my Katana and stab forward, hoping to pierce his Light-Armor.

Get up and attack Nav with a flurry of kicks

Switch to my vetterli and rifle Hawk a question, then pick up my club again.

Make my way to higher ground, attempting to spot any would be opponents. Have my smg ready for fire on a moments notice. If the civilians dislike this course of action, use diplomacy to tell them that I'm guarding this camp. Still, keep my distance to be wary of impostors.

Round 22: Blood on the Snow
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (10.5 inches)
Time: Evening
NAV nearly rips the the sling of his Vetterli rifle off as he tears it away from his shoulder and into his hands, clearly not happy with the way things have been going so far. (1+2 vs. 6-2) Hawk crawls on his back, pushing himself away from NAV as the Kaurava shoots two shots, one going over Hawk completely and another hitting the ground a few inches south of the area between Hawk's legs. Hawk retaliates, laying on his back and pointing his pistol at NAV. (2 vs. 6) NAV ducks as a couple bullets pierce the air over his head. Hawk uses this time to take cover behind a police car. NAV pursues briefly, but as he hears Ranger groaning and grunting up to her feet, he recalls he has other problems. He snatches his golf club off the ground and turns to face her.
Execute takes to the air and flies down to one of the large warships on the beach. (3) He lands on one of the ships and heads into the cargo hold are looking for explosive materials; tip-toeing and folding his wings into his back to the best of his ability. He goes down some stairs and into what looks like a storage room, where crates are hoarding all sorts of material and supplies. Execute begins to pry one of them open when he looks up to see a sailor who he didn't see standing in the shadows, staring back at him.
Person heads towards higher grounds, pulling out his sub-machine gun just in case he faces a challenge. The citizens around him react unfavorably to this action, but he assures them that he is only guarding the camp site. (Perception: 7-1) A bit of erratic movement in a tent catches Person's attention out of the corner of his eye. He swings around as Greatness comes charging out of the tent screeching a samurai battle cry with his Katana hoisted above his head. (Initiative: 1 vs. 6) Person points his gun at Greatness and pulls the trigger, realizing in this dire moment that he had forgotten to turn the safety off. (4+2 vs. 1+2) Greatness swings his Katana down and catches Person in the head. This would have been a nasty wound if Person did not have some insurance; his helmet take the blow and is cut right through the top, stopping centimeters from Person's skull. Person steps back and frees his helmet from the blade, which now sports a big glaring gash at the top. (3+2 vs. 1) Person sprays a volley at Greatness, one bullet fated to be a headshot instead lands in Greatness's Mindwarper Helmet. The mind-reading device groans and its lights shut down, indicating that it was now broken.
Hawk crawls behind the side of a police cruiser, putting some space and cover between NAV and himself. He grabs the hood with one hand and uses it to steady himself as he rises above the cover on one good leg. He bends over, propping his arms with the bottom of his elbows and aiming down the iron sights of his pistol. (5 vs. 2) He empties the final three bullets of the clip into NAV and hits him in the left ear. NAV staggers forward and Hawk slinks down behind the cop car once more.
Nunzillor goes inside "Joey's Sports Bar", greeted with dim lights, the smell of beer and the sounds of pool balls slamming into one each other over the distant groan of hard rock music. Nunzillor asks for Tiny Chuck, and the bartender indicates a man at the end of the bar; Tiny Chuck, by Nunzillor's estimates as she gets close, looks to be over six-feet tall and 250 pounds, sporting a full curly reddish-brown beard. "Tiny Chuck-sensei? Our... mutual friends sent me. Do you like... tea...?" Tiny Chuck turns to face Nunzillor, considering her appearance and stature. "I'll be honest, I didn't expect someone like you. Take a seat. And I ain't drank tea in a long time." He picks up a whiskey bottle on the table and chugs about a fourth of it down. "So, what specifically are you gonna' need? And how can you prove we can trust you, that you ain't working with the Feds or the Democrats?"
NAV stares down Ukranian Ranger, ready to smash her skull in with his club, so he's caught by surprise when he hears gunshots ring out from behind him, followed by half of his ear getting obliterated. He staggers froward as if someone had just sucker punched him from behind, giving Ukranian ample time to get to her feet and go Chun-Li on his ass. (9+2-1 vs. 10+2) Ukranian unleashes a breathtaking amount of side-kicks, crane-kicks, and round-house kicks, performing them with a smooth, almost instantaneous transition between each attack. NAV responds with an equally impressive defensive maneuver, ducking and twisting his body so that each kick goes around his body, ducking under the kicks aimed at his head and then immediately jumping over the sweeping kicks. (2+2+2 vs. 6+2-1) During one of Ranger's high kicks, NAV seizes her ankle before it can come down on him; he then twists his body and throws her with a mighty throw as if he were launching a shot-put.
Greatness retracts his blade from Person's head only to have his precious mind-reading device blown up on his head. Furious, he runs at Person and thrusts his blade at the center of his body. (1+2 vs. 2+2) Person leaps back and Greatness's katana's tip enters into half an inch of Person's armor, but no deeper. (6+2 vs. 6) Person would shoot, but he would much rather get Greatness, and by extension, Greatness's Katana which is inside his armor, away from him first. Person takes the butt of his SMG and swings it into Greatness's face. The Samurai falls over to the side, pulling his Katana down with him. (Injured Jaw) Person takes a couple steps back and points his gun down at the prone Greatness.
Abstract takes upon a very unconventional battle plan; rather than try out typical Wiki-Warrior styles like "Fearless Berserker" or "Sneaky Assassin" or "Leader of Many", Abstract begins his "Don't Fight Anyone and Get a Good Job, Gradual Rise through the Ranks, Get Married, Buy a House in the Suburbs, Retire to Florida and Bring the Grandchildren to the Beach Before Dying in a Trolley Accident at the Age of 84." This will no doubt inspire fear in everyone that opposes him. (5) Abstract looks through the job listings in a newspaper discarded on the sidewalk, but there's not too many job openings right now in Green Bay that Abstract would qualify for. While it isn't a job, there is an Open Amateur Professional Wrestling Tournament Scheduled for tommorow morning in the city, with cash prizes awarded to the top competitors.

-
Drop the pistol. Support UR by shooting at NAV with the Riot Gun. Aim for the eyes.
Aiming for the eyes (and anything in the head-area) will incur a small (-1) aiming penalty since they are small targets. Are you okay with this?
-
I can see no other way to deal respectable damage with this weapon.
-
He will of course join the tournament tommorow after he excercises all day long preferably in a training montage also try and start dating and try and begin my plan to become leader of greenbay.
-
Waitlist me, please.
-
I can see no other way to deal respectable damage with this weapon.
You could always try to run up to NAV and use it as improvised melee weapon, but I see your point.
Waitlist me, please.
Confirmed.
-
Sprint at Hawk, attempt to golf away any more projectiles, and finally finish him off.
-
"Trust me, I believe in smaller government around here. A lot smaller. I'll need 20 trained and loyal mercenaries; 5 armed with bazookas, 3 with sniper rifles, and 12 with standard assault rifles. These men will all need snowmobiles."
"I'll also need a standard set of rocket skiis and a rifle-katana, of course."
Make demands clear. If he starts looking skeptical, flutter eyelashes and say something flattering about him using physics.

Tiny Chuck stares at Nunzillor for a moment and then groans, rubbing his forehead with his hand. "Sniper and assault rifles I can get you. Bazookas....shit, maybe one or two if we're lucky. I don't know how many snowmobiles we can round up on short notice and those last two...things. I ain't even heard of 'em."
-
"Well, that will have to do. If you can't find the last two items, I'll just take a normal rifle. Provide men without snowmobiles with skiis, and those without bazookas with another type of portable heavy ordnance, please. And don't worry Tiny Chuck-sensei, soon Wisconsin will be free of US imperialist control."
"Meet me with everything and everyone at the local clinic or hospital as soon as you can. And make sure all your men have radios."
Bow deeply, and then ski off to the nearest clinic or hospital to get my arm treated.
-
"Sore o shiyou to shinaide kudasai." Translation: "Don't try it."
Roll out of the way of Person's gun, and stand up. Once standing, attempt to cleave my Katana through any weak spots in Person's armor.
-
Get up, pray to kung fu gods asking for assistance and attack Nav one more time
-
Well that could have gone far worse.
Start firing, ideally at the head, but steadily back away. Standing near a downed guy with a sword is a great way to get your legs chopped off. Throughout the battle, try to use my experience in military combat to force them into a disadvantageous location. Uneven ground, rough foliage, dead ends, etc. If for any reason my smg gets damaged/dropped/jammed/etc during this fight, immediately switch to my pistol.
By the way you didn't remove that money from my inventory TCM.
-
Execute suddenly straightens up, dusting imaginary lint off himself, and gives the crewmember a winning smile.
"Oh, 'ello there, I was wondering where you were! I think you've had a bit too much to drink, I mean, heck, I'm your subconcious, you shouldn't normally be seeing this stuff."
Calmly walk up to him, and while he's confused give him a quick chop to the neck.
-
On an unrelated note, our current game is almost twice as long as the first one in this thread. Looks like a lot of us decided to play the long game. Then again the first one didn't have respawning so really they can't be compared.

Round 23: Injuryville
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (11.2 inches)
Time: Evening
Ukrainian Ranger lifts her one good arm towards the heavens and makes a prayer to the Kung-Fu Gods. (??) With the (possible) endowment of her deities, Ranger leaps from the car at NAV. (1+2-1 vs. 2) Ranger kicks NAV in the back of the head, which whiffs so badly that even as it makes contact he barely notices. Ranger then flies past him and lands on her face in the snow.
Execute brandishes his widish smile and struts towards the sailor with the cadence of a cartoon character. "Oh, 'ello there, I was wondering where you were! I think you've had a bit too much to drink, I mean, heck, I'm your subconcious, you shouldn't normally be seeing this stuff." (6) The sailor looks at Execute as if he's an eight-legged dog. "....are you-?" (7 vs. 5) Execute interrupts him with a quick chop to the neck. "Agh! Damn you!" The sailor falls to his knee, not injured by any means by temporarily incapacitated as even an amateur chop to the neck by someone inexperienced with martial arts as Execute still hurts a good deal.
NAV, undeterred and mostly ignoring the Ukranian's leaping kick, barges down on Hawk's position. (Agility vs. Dexterity: 1 vs. 2) NAV doesn't account for U.R. having fallen on the ground in front of him, and trips over her body; this gives Hawk just enough time throw his pistol on the ground and swap it for his Riot Gun before rising over the cover of the car. (9-1 vs. 5) Before NAV can stand up, a fast flying bean bag hits him just under his right eye. He tumbles backwards, dropping his Golf Club, his face bruising and the area quickly becoming swollen shut. [-2 Perception, Stunned: -1 to all actions for the rest of this turn.] While this stops NAV for a second, he is quickly back to his feet and running towards Hawk once more, driven by his own rage as much of that of his enemies; Hawk pumps a fresh beanbag into the barrel of his gun. (Agility vs. Dexterity: 8 vs. 1) NAV bounds over the hood of the police car before Hawk is even able to raise up his sights. (7+2-1 vs. 8-2) NAV kicks at Hawk's leg, hitting him right in his broken ankle. It does not make the wound worse, but given Hawk's cries of agony it isn't pleasant either. [Pain: -1 to all actions]
Abstract drives to the gym where the tournament will be hosted next morning. Registering on the sheet, he feels spontaneously empowered and energized and begins the first three steps of his grand plan:
A. Training Montage (6) Speed bag! Weight lifting! Treadmill! Wishing that guy would stop grunting so loudly! Stationary Bike! Dead lifting! Watching part of a movie on the TV in the corner! Shadow boxing! Jump Rope! Checking out the girl in the yoga pants just briefly enough that you don't get caught! Chin ups! Sit ups! Push ups! Selfie in the mirror in order to justify your exhaustion and pain with some semblance of progress and self-worth so you don't break down crying! Water break! (https://youtu.be/ioE_O7Lm0I4?t=10) Abstract is worn down from his training but it will hopefully pay off by conditioning his body for the tournament tomorrow.
B. Courtship (7) Abstract takes at a shower at the gym and then heads down to a casual Single's Dance downtown. After some mingling, he is able to get some personal space with the spunky pixie-cut blonde who goes by 'Autumn' and works as a local barista. Nothing more than some casual questioning and light humor takes place, but he does get her number which she requests he call if he's free tomorrow evening.
C. Political Leadership (8+2) Abstract goes back to city hall and enters his name into the ballot for Mayorship, which all goes smoothly. If he can get at least 5% of people in Green Bay to sponsor him for a ballot, he could challenge the incumbent Mayor for his office.
In desperation, Hawk attempts to get NAV to stop kicking the life out of him with a point blank shot from his riot gun. (9-1 vs. 10) The beanbag flies over NAV's head and buries itself in the snow somewhere beyond the two combatants. (1+2-1 vs. 6-2-1) Hawk rolls out of the way as NAV stomps his foot which lands on the hood of the police cruiser, triggering its blaring siren and lights. Hawk moves towards the trunk end of the vehicle and uses it to stand up. NAV and Hawk face each other, both determined to win and also crippled to an extent.
Nunzillor explains her plan to Tiny Chuck who nods contemplatively, scratching his beard. "I'll see what I can get done, but no hard promises yet, we haven't been working with you long enough to see what you really got." After this meeting is concluded, Nunzillor exits the sports bar and skiis into the nearest hospital open at this hour. She goes to the front desk and explains her situation; as it is not the most dangerous ailment, she is made to sit in the waiting room among crying children and groaning old people all over the place. Thirty minutes in, and her name still has yet to be called; oh the joys of medical bureaucracy.
"Sore o shiyou to shinaide kudasai." Greatness delivers this one-liner through his injured jawline and performs an action roll. (Agility vs. Dex: 3 vs. 6) Greatness completes his roll which maneuvers him to the side, but as he rises out of his roll, Person already has his machine gun trained on him. (6+2 vs. 10) Greatness fearlessly charges forward with his Katana held above his head, a mighty warrior's cry coming from deep in his chest that sends fear into everyone around him, including Person who is so shaken that he misses all of his shots as his shaky hands fail to keep his gun aimed properly. (7+2 vs. 5+2) Person steps back before the blade can cut through his head, instead it goes into his right forearm, cutting through the armor and into his flesh. Greatness pulls his blade away, blood flowing freely from Person's wound and staining his adjacent armor a red that stains the snow beneath him.
Greatness strikes his first proper wound against Person, who is now bleeding onto the ground. Looking for any weak points in Person's armor, Greatness does see that the area between Person's jaw and shoulders lacks any armor at all. (3+2 vs. 1) Greatness pulls his blade away from Person's arm and slashes his neck. Person stumbles away, his good hand covering his neck wound while his other arm continues to bleed. Suffering from the pre-tremors of blood loss, Person fires again at Greatness, aiming for the general head area. (2+2-1 vs. 2) One of the bullets strikes Greatness in the face, but instead of seeing his opponent fall to the ground, Person watches with shock as the bullet wound simply starts to evaporate from Greatness's body; in fact, his jaw was begin to slide back into its original state. [Injured Jaw regenerates to Bruised Jaw]

-
Get up, grab the golf club with the healthy arm, attack NAV with his own weapon. Try to invent golf-fu while doing so.
-
Well. This has gone pear shaped really quickly. Well I think I have a couple potential plans for this, no matter how stupid they might be.
So how bad are those cuts on my arm and neck? The neck one I'm worried about most, especially given the mention of blood loss.
Also wait a sec, I'm totally carrying the toolbox somehow aren't I? I guess I assume its strapped to my armor or something. It looks like I have it anyway, as I brought it to the market with me.
Anyway I'm probably as good as dead here, and I doubt that regen mattered on a 3v2 roll. I assume it just grazed the skin or something. Sometimes that's just how the dice fall. Don't think I'm giving up so easily though.
In hindsight I really should have looked for some usable items at the market. Look at all the money I've got burning a hole through my pocket.
-
Wait patiently.
-
Okay, now take him out through a neck snap, brutal, I know, but hopefully that gives me the 2+ to assasination.
-
Rip the gun out of Person's hands, but before he can try to grab another one, continue the assault on the weak points in his armor, with extra priority on the neck wound, with my Katana.
This fight is awesome! Two Wiki-Warriors, neck and neck! ...No pun intended.
-
It really is a good fight. I wasn't really optimistic about my chances if I ever had to fight you but this is surprisingly even. I mean I'm still losing, but not as badly as I thought I would, given that I expected to get one hit killed. Turns out armor is a lot stronger than I thought.
You might have actually been better off throwing a javelin or two as a sneak attack, but ah well. Odds are the only reason I had the slightest chance here is that I rolled well to enough spot you.
By the way, I'm not basing my strategy on your posts at all. Just thought I'd say that given that I've always ended up posting after you. My sleep cycle is AWFUL at times. I've got like two plans here that depend on how bad TCM says my injuries really are.
Anyway, even if I lose this, I'm damn well going to damage your gear as much as possible. I was actually extremely relieved that I broke your helmet first, though that lessened considerably when you returned the favor. Severely tempted to throw my broken helmet at you and see if that works.
-
((Gah, sorry for not posting))
Take a lighter when the shopkeeper is not looking. Leave.
-
"You can have your ten minutes after you reincarnate!"
For the Kaurava people smash a bottle of altbier over Hawk's head and then stab him with the broken bottle
-
"No, I'll have my ten minutes after I kill you."
Whack NAV with the riot gun's stock, once he tries to close in with the bottle.
-
@Person: Neither wounds would be that bad on their own, but the fact that there are two of them compounds the problem. The neck wound is fairly wide but not deep, so it's about equal in severity to the arm gash with the same amount of bleeding from both. (While your arm is bleeding, the armor prevented the blade from doing nerve or bone damage.) The effects won't be immediate, but you're going to need medical help within the next couple turns.
As for the fight, I honestly thought you would have the advantage with firearms and military bonuses, but Greatness's Samurai/Regen combo is surprisingly clutch. Still, even if regeneration is OP to some level, you can't regen a burst of bullets to the brain or getting decapitated, among other things; regen fixes injuries, not death.
((Gah, sorry for not posting))

No problem, you're not in combat so it isn't a big deal.

Round 24: Blood on the Snow, Pt. 2
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (11.9 inches)
Time: Midnight
NAV takes out a single shining glass bottle of Altbier out from its case. "You can have your ten minutes after you reincarnate!" He runs at Hawk, holding the bottle high above his head. Hawk flips his gun around, holding it by the barrel while keeping the heavy stock pointed at NAV, "No, I'll have my ten minutes after I kill you." (7-1 vs. 9+2) Hawk waits for NAV to close in before swinging his gun downwards, aiming to use the end to break NAV's skull. Even though the Riot Gun is modern technology, dodging an improvised club is fundamental Ancient Warfare and second nature for the Kaurava; NAV sidesteps and the Riot Gun connects with nothing but air. NAV pulls his arm back and then launches forward with a vicious horizontal swing aimed at Hawk's face. (3+2 vs. 9-1) Hawk shuffles backwards and NAV's bottle goes nowhere. Frustrated, the Indian warrior smashes his bottle on the top of the police cruiser to improvise a stabbing weapon. (8) The outcome is one bottle coated in sharp serrated points; NAV waves it menacingly in Hawk's direction while the politician takes practice swings with his Riot Gun like a batter warming up before a pitch is thrown.
Abstract heads down to the tournament with a plan to win, after doing an entire montage worth of training. The tournament is being held in a community gym space where a wrestling circle has been set up. Abstract looks at his competitors who ranged from tiny speedsters known for their agility and flying attacks to the giants who look like they could break a grown man in half with one blow. And the crowd is spectacular, there are several dozens of citizens that had come to watch!
Round 1 - Opening Round: (3+2 vs. 1) Abstract's first opponents looks like he should worry more about trying to clear his acne before Senior Prom Night than winning a wrestling tournament. Within the first seconds, Abstract has him on the ground and twisting his arm. It's over without much effort.
Round 2 - Standard Round: (9+2 vs. 10) Abstract's next opponent lacks wrestling skill but makes up for it with sheer willpower. Even applying his best moves, Abstract is unable to take him down, and while he retains something of an advantage, it isn't much. (4+2 vs. 8+2) Later on, however, Abstract's opponent begins to fatigue and this allows Abstract to put him in really compromising positions, eventually Abstract is able to achieve a rear choke-hold. (6+2 vs. 10-1[Choking]) Even being choked for almost a minute, Abstract's opponent refuses to give up, thrashing about and pulling on his arms. The opponent eventually frees himself from Abstract's grip. (3 vs. 9+2) The man switches from a wrestling to a fighting style, which results in his downfall; he charges Abstract with what would be a clothesline, except Abstract jumps up and interrupts him with a dropkick to the face, knocking him out cold.
Round 3- Semi-Finals: Abstract's next opponent is an actual trained wrestler, "The Great Galipoli", a skinny almost gaunt man with deceptive power. (1+2 vs. 10+1) Abstract charges at Galipoli, but at the last second the nimble wrestler dives out of the way and Abstract's momentum carries him over the ropes and he goes flying onto the wooden floor. (6+1 vs. 7-2[Stunned]) Galipoli jumps off of the top rope and belly-flops onto Abstract, landing across his chest and knocking the wind out of him for the moment. (3+2-2 vs. 4+1) Abstract gropes for Galipoli, trying to perform a wrestling hold on him while he's still down, but Galipoli slips out of his grasp. (1+1 vs. 2+2-2) Galipoli stands up and kicks Abstract while he's down, but Abstract is unfazed by the half-hearted hit and gets to his feet, recovering from the previous assault. (10+2 vs. 3+1) Galipoli leaps at Abstract, but ATH is able to grab him in mid-air and spin him around before tossing him like a frzibee. Galipoli's back slams into the metal turnbuckle and he is sent seeing stars.
Round 4- Final Round: Abstract's final opponent is a proper rival, a retired pro wrestler by the name of 'Big Barrel Brad'. Even at the old (for a professional wrestler) age of 46, his 6'8, 290 pound frame still makes him a force to be reckoned with. (6+2 vs. 9+2) With all of his might, Abstract runs at Brad and punches him in the stomach, which fails to make any impact whatsoever. (8+2 vs. 7+2) Brad retaliates with a jab that sends Abstract reeling back, but he stays on his feet. (5+2 vs. 2+2) Abstract runs at Brad again, but before Brad can hit him, Abstract leaps to the side and kicks him in the shin. (4+2-1 vs. 3+2) Brad grunts in pain and kicks at Abstract with his unhurt leg, which misses Abstract's face by inches. (7+2 vs. 1+2-1) Abstract leaps up into the air and hits Brad in the face with a flying drop kick which sends the giant onto his back with a resounding smashing sound on the wrestling mat. (9+2 vs. 10+2-1-2) Abstract goes for the pin, and by the count of '2', Brad is starting to move around, but it is too little too late; Abstract holds the pin for the final second and finishes the match.
Abstract wins the tournament! +$150, +Green Bay Amateur Wrestling Championship Belt
It is too early for Abstract to go on a date with Autumn, her shift doesn't end until later, but he does plan to tell her about his exciting victory.
With his $150, Abstract begins campaigning for local office. (2+2) Abstract buys and prints $150 worth of poster material and begins displaying them around town. While this helps to spread his image, it is only after examining the final poster that he puts up that Abstract realizes he forgot to put his name on them.
While Person is trying to stop the bleeding from his neck wound, Greatness lunges forward with one free hand and attempts to rip the PPsh-Sub Machine Gun out of his hands. (5 vs. 2+2) Greatness slaps Person on the fingers, hard, instinctively causing his hand to free his grip of the gun and causing it to fall out of his reach onto the ground below. (Agility vs. Dexterity: 10 vs. 9) Just as Person reaches into his vest to pull out his pistol, Greatness swings his Katana. (10+2 vs. 7+2) He aims for the same neck wound he had created before, which is now being covered by Person's hand in an attempt to stop the bleeding; the blade fails to reach his neck for a second time, but it manages to cut into that hand protecting that wound in the first place, severing Person's right hand of nerves and creating yet another bloody wound.
Person was not in the best of shape; his attempt to block Greatness's attack with the blunt part of his machine gun resulted in that gun being swatted out of his hand, his hand that now featured yet another bloody wound. Bleeding everywhere, Person takes out his Smith & Wesson with his less dominant hand, one of the few parts of his body left undamaged by Greatness, and opens fire on the Samurai at close range. (6+2 vs. 9) Person fires a single shot right for the Samurai's neck which barely even grazes it. Before he can curse, Greatness counterattacks, (5+2 vs. 10+2) but before Greatness can thrust his blade forward Person smashes the blunt end of his pistol on Greatness's head. This fails to hurt the Samurai as he is protected by his broken helmet, but it does cause him to recoil and stop attack for one moment. Greatness shakes his head to clear it and bears his teeth at Person, entering a fighting stance. Person simply holds his sidearm out in front of him; he could feel the energy slipping out through his wounds, but the adrenaline was enough to keep him at 100% at least for the moment. Person definitely knew one thing; by the end of the next Turn, there would only be one Wiki Warrior left standing in the camp.
NAV lets out a piercing warrior cry and charges Hawk. (1+2 vs. 7-1) The broken bottle spears forward but Hawk jumps backwards well before it hits him; he winces as he lands on his injured ankle. (9-1 vs. 5+2) Hawk goes on the offensive and jams the stock of his gun into NAV's mouth, knocking out a couple of his teeth and splitting his lip open. NAV's head goes backwards with whiplash before returning to its forward state, now brimming with deep anger; unfortunately for the politician, he did not share NAV's ability to gain strength equal to his opponent's rage. (7+2 vs. 6-1) NAV spits up some blood and runs at Hawk who expects a vertical or maybe horizontal slash of the broken bottle. Instead, NAV unleashes a previously unseen diagonal slash; Hawk leans his upper body out of the attack, but the bottle cuts through Hawk's suit-pants and into the flesh of his right thigh. While the ankle wound may hurt more, the thigh wound was much more severe; Hawk looks down to see he is spilling a significant amount of blood into the snow beneath his feet. (10-1 vs. 9+2) This wound breaks out a new beast in Hawk, no longer is he the calm and reflective fighter, but the sight of so much blood has undone all of his civility. He growls and swings his gun at NAV like a caveman striking down an ape not out of fear but primal rage; NAV is taken aback by this sudden furious onslaught and ducks just in time for the gun to pass over him and destroy one of the police car's windows. (Hawk: Pain has concluded)
Twinwolf remembers he's involved in the greatest competition known to mankind, which leads to him reluctantly close the pages of "Attractive Men Exerting Themselves by Lifting Heavy Objects (But Not Too Heavy) Monthly' and resume the mission at hand. When the store clerk takes a phone call and turns around, Twinwolf's hand glides over the cigarette lighter display. (4) Twinwolf nabs a single lighter and stuffs it into his suit while the clerk is busy chatting. Twin heads out the door, but hears the clerk call out to him, "Sir, aren't you going to buy anything?" The clerk's tone of voice is noticeably suspicious.
Ukranian picks herself back up out of the snow and brushes herself off with her single arm. Seeing NAV's golf club lying unprotected in the snow, she snatches it up and looks back at the Indian Warrior only to watch him cut a broken bottle deep into Hawk's legs. Never one to be counted out of a feet, Ukranian runs at NAV while he is busy trying to dodge Hawk's frenzied rifle swinging. (8-1-1 vs. 1+2) Ranger's new patented "Golf Club-Fu" is a lot more clunky than expected, especially when trying to wield a golf club with one arm while applying incompatible martial arts knowledge to it, but the one situation it comes unexpectedly in is when you use it to whack an unsuspecting opponent in the back, which is precisely what Ukranian does. The club-end strikes NAV right in the left kidney and he goes down onto one knee, eyes widening at the new sensation of having a blunt object smash into a sensitive organ in your back. (Sharp Pain: -1 to all rolls for 1 turn)
Nunzillor waits patiently until she is called in. She tells the doctor about the wound in her arm, which is successfully patched up within minutes and cured of all ailments, even the bullet is removed by the extensive care of the medical staff. She is set to walk out the door when her doctor asks her that one wonderful question that reminds her of the bureaucratic medical sister in the United States, "The price of your operation comes out to a sum of $250. Ms. Nunzillor, who is your insurance provider?"
Execute flexes the old assassination muscles by wrapping his arm around the neck of the injured sailor. (7+2 vs. 3-1) Execute twists his arm until he feels the satisfying crunch of a dislocated neck and lets the stiff body of the sailor fall on the ground in front of him. This allows him more time to take inventory of the store-room to locate more explosives, but he mainly finds foods and raw materials. Not only does this mean the ship lacks good explosives, the low-value commodities on the ship lead him to believe that it must not be the main ship, certainly not the one that Conquistador Cortez would be on...

It looks as if our two battles may be drawing to a close soon! In Person VS. Greatness, the veteran Wiki Warrior is suffering major battle wounds from the skilled Samurai who regenerates no less! Will Greatness continue cutting apart Person until he has no more blood to spare, or will Person get that lucky bullet that turns the tide? In the three-way Hawk & U.R. VS. NAV, the Ancient Warrior deals a major blow on Hawk but the clutch U.R. delivers her first solid hit on NAV! Will NAV bottle Hawk to death or will U.R.'s assistance be the turning point!
But lets not forget the others contestants! Will Twinwolf get away with petty theft? Can Execute assassinate the leader of European Exploration? How will Nunzillor fund a revolution without medical insurance? And can Abstract live a completely normal life undisturbed by everyone else!
Find out on the next installment of Wiki-Warriors whenever the GM updates on time!

Okay, grab the body, pat it down for anything useful, then chuck it over the side of the ship, preferably the one facing the ocean, then go to the next ship in line and look for something like a captains room.
-
Hrmm, alright then, look for some firestarting materials, even just a box of matches would be fine.
In the interest of saving time, I'll say know that your search comes up empty. If you looked on another part of the ship, you could find a latern, oil, or maybe even a tinderbox.
-
"I do not have medical insurance. But doctor-san, should I have medical insurance? Should anyone have medical insurance? No, healthcare should be freely provided by the state! We can make that happen! Join me and we will fight for a medical revolution!"
Ask doctor-san to join me in a medical revolution. Explain that he can bring his co-workers too.
-
Write my name neatly on all the posters and promotional material only stopping to go on the date.
-
Nunzillor, your character is doing a fine job but her political ideology confuses me. :p

((She's anti-US government but pro-Danish government, since she has specifically come to "return" Denmark, Wisconsin to the actual country of Denmark.
So she would be pro anything that would promise to decrease the size of US government in Wisconsin (ie secession lead by the Tea Party) but also pro universal healthcare (to be provided by the country of Denmark when the city of Denmark is returned to its rightful country). That's how I try to make sense of it, at least...))

Go for an overhead strike with the Riot Gun.

Stare into Person's eyes...then roll out of the way! Once rolled, attempt to throw a Javelin at him!

I don't even know why I'm getting +2 bonuses anymore. I probably should have been shooting at his legs the whole fight.

+2 is for the Military Combat which is constant. I realized with all this fighting that really vague combat modifiers concerning things like, "Ancient Combat", "Military Combat", "Medieval Combat", etc. are all a hassle, because I have to determine whether each act of combat involving that character involves that parameter; ex. would NAV get an Ancient Combat bonus to defending against Hawk attacking him with the Riot Gun? Is it "Modern Combat" because it's a modern weapon, or is it "Ancient Combat" because the way Hawk is using it mimics a club? (I went with the latter eventually?) In the future the combat bonuses will be much more weapon/fighting-style specific.

Round 25: Blood on the Snow, Finale!
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.4 inches)
Time: Midnight
As NAV falls on one knee after being bludgeoned by Ranger, the businesswoman turns to the injured Hawk. "Nice suit." She returns her focus to NAV and aims a round-house kick at his melon while he's down on the ground. (8+2 vs. 4-1+2) Her foot catches NAV on the side of the head with concussive force and he falls over, half-conscious. [Stunned: -2 to all physical actions]
NAV loses hold of his bottle and goes down, his head ringing from the impact of the kick and his eyes blurry. He grabs at his temple, trying to fend off a painful sense of dizziness and disorientation. He lunges for his broken bottle, sitting in the snow. (5-3) He grasps it and stands up, only to lose hold of it when he is able to steady himself on two feet again. He lunges at NAV, uncoordinated and slowly, no longer driven by skill and grace but simply pure willpower and feeding off of their anger. (1+2-1 vs. 7+2) Ranger grabs one of NAV's outstretched arms and judo-throws onto the hood of the police cruiser, his back taking all of the impact as it dent the hood. (10+2 vs. 3-2-1) NAV looks up and idly watches the puffy snow clouds above and how they release their pellets of snow on the ground, his body beaten to a point where he can no longer fight back, he can only observe. He doesn't react as Ranger brings her foot down onto his neck with enough force to sever the top of his spinal cord. The Kaurava's limp body rolls off the hood of the car and lands face-down on the snowy road.
Ukranian Ranger broke NAV apart!
+Article: Joseph Solvinto: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Solvinto) +2 Boxing (+3 Punching Total)
Hawk limps over to NAV and strikes him in the back of the head with the Riot Gun one more time for good measure. The body jerks slightly but besides that there is no response. His fight with the warrior is finally over, but it's not like it was for nothing; he's been left both crippled and seriously bleeding by the fight.
Nunzillor answers the doctor's question by hopping up onto an examination table and going into a speech on how government should handle medical services. "I do not have medical insurance. But doctor-san, should I have medical insurance? Should anyone have medical insurance? No, healthcare should be freely provided by the state! We can make that happen! Join me and we will fight for a medical revolution!" (5) "You know what? You're right." The doctor nods solemnly as Nunzillor climbs down from her table. "We need universal healthcare coverage, the insurance companies and pharmaceuticals take advantages of doctors and their patients. But I can not participate yet, I have to do a job that pays for my mortgage and my kid's college tuition, a job that doesn't give me a lot of time to engage in revolution. I'll tell you what, I'll cover your insurance cost, and keep my card, if you need some medical help I might be able to assist in the future." (+Sympathizing Doctor Business Card)
Twinwolf's conversation with the store clerk, particularly on the subject of new strange events around town, seems to distract him from his initial suspicion. "That...stuff...that's going on outside, I don't want any part of that. Seems awfully unholy to me, fire comin' out of the sky, and I hear tales of people who can jump over a building or read minds and other baloney. I know the Wikipedia Council randomly picks each city to host its games but...I really wish they didn't pick us. We're just a small, family oriented simple town. Why'd they have to come here of all places?"
Execute loots the body of the sailor for anything of value, but all he had on him was some stale bread and a few scraps of paper. He takes the body and drags it upstairs, where fortunately no one is stirring on deck. He carries the cadaver to the back of the ship and tosses it off of the back end, watching it silently fall into the ocean waters below. Execute takes flight once more and heads for one of the other ships, hoping to hit the one with the Captain on board. He goes for the middle ship, and lands on in a quiet corner. He peeks out from behind a pile of crates and spots what looks like a Captain's Quarters at the other end of the ship. The only problem is that are a handful, about three or four, men walking around the deck, a couple armed with swords and pistols at the hip.
Person continues opening fire on Greatness, hoping to get a shot worthy of greatness himself. (2+2 vs. 6) Person misses two more shots that Greatness ducks over, and then pulls out his toolbox as Greatness swings the Katana at him once again. (9+2 vs. 8+2) It was quick thinking and reflexes that allowed Person to improvise his Toolbox as a shield of sorts, as the blade could have easily taken off his arm, or gone through his ribcage. Instead the toolbox absorbs the attack and is cut right through, which alters Greatness's swing so that it misses Person's body. The ribcage spills onto the ground, its contents pouring everywhere.
Abstract runs around the streets of Green Bay to properly write his name down on all of the misprinted posters. (2) By the time he manages to reach them, most of the posters have been vandalized, covered in obscene language, sexual images and the numbers of prostitutes. Attempting to write over the graffiti only results in damaging the posters even further. Exasperated, Abstract goes on the date with Autumn, hoping that it will take his mind off of his failed media campaign. (4) Because he was running around, Abstract gets to the restaurant late, and Autumn is clearly not pleased. Both of them are frustrated, Autumn having to cover the shift of an employee who bailed on the coffee shop and Abstract unsuccessfully trying to literally clean up his image. When the two of them pay the bill and Abstract asks if they want to see each other again, Autumn gives him an unenthusiastic "Maybe."
Greatness stares Person down, lifting his Katana up high; he waits for Person to aim his pistol before he gets down and rolls to the side, getting up on one knee and throwing one of his Javelin's at the unsuspecting soldier! (10+2 vs. 8) While Person received an excellent military education when it came to defending against things like close quarters combat, his instructors did not teach him the art of dodging spear-like weapons. The result of this is the Javelin piercing his right knee at an angle where his armor is weaker, and digging into the bone itself. Person falls onto his good leg, in great pain and still critically injured and wounded. With one last burst of effort, he attempts to shoot the Samurai one final time. (1-2) Distracted and disoriented by his pain, Person fails to realize that he's pointing his gun in the wrong direction. (4) Person falls on his back, taking his own shot right in the shoulders, reduced to a gasping pile of flesh on the ground. Greatness stands over him, not wishing to see a worthy opponent die in such a dishonorable manner. (5+2) He places his Katana against Person's neck and gives him a final nod before pulling it back, lengthening his already present neck wound. Person spends a few moments gargling in his own blood before he gives one last twitch. Greatness bows and retrieves his Javelin. (Bruised Jaw Regenerated)

No one notices a shady figure coated in black slip through the crowded sheltering area at the outskirts of Bismark. The figure, a tan-skinned slender woman, stands up and draws no attention, armed to the teeth and wearing a dark outfit that paradoxically masks her appearance yet deliberately exaggerates her curves. "Today is a day to win, not just for me..." She dons a pair of sunglasses despite it being the middle of the night, "...But for all of Texas."
FallacyofUrist sneaks onto the battlefield!
A Bi-Plane lands in the center of a road going into Denmark. A woman elegantly dressed in the height of 20's fashion sticks her head out and sneers at the ruined city, "This place is a real dump. Much like everyone else in this fight." Not too far from her airplane is a racecar.
High tyrol satirizes her competition!
A third figures rides into Denmark on horse back, stopping his steed before it enters the proper city. "This would be beautifully captured in a painting, or perhaps a photograph," the well-dressed horserider notes to himself. "But I think that the blade can produce a picture as well as any paintbrush can," he follows up as he draws his British Empire Officer's Saber, his horse standing on its rear legs; the pose is very reminiscent of one of those statures of a soldier on horseback.
Elephant Parade wishes to paint in the blood of his enemies!
News Update: The Council of Green Bay has approved a motion to send emergency vehicles and services down to Denmark to support its displaced population.

Well, an armed guard is certainly promising, and while I doubt a captain would keep explosives and such right under himself, I doubt even more that he would have riffraff in the hull.

The bonus concerns leading rebellions, not converting or convincing people to join them. If they are already to convicted to rebellion then you get the bonus, which is why it works on the Tea Partiers.
And yes, you find the secessionist forces waiting for you, though not as well equipped as you wish.

((Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.))
"Patriots of Wisconsin! The time has come to take our freedom!"
Give a rousing speech, mentioning that our first step will be to foster our movement's legitimacy by assisting the people of Denmark, who will surely support us once we save them from the horde of anarchists currently assaulting their town.
The snipers will take up position outside the town at elevated points with a clear view of the town, and the mobile ordnance team will ride with the men with snowmobiles, and should be prepared to enter the city with the assault rifle team. We will communicate via radio (ask for one for myself). The militia men with assault rifles will move with me within the town to find hostile combatants and engage them while the snipers and ordnance teams assist.
When ready, move out with the rest to Denmark, stopping with the assault rifle men outside the city to wait for the others to take their positions.

That...was the most awesome fight ever!
I'll go into an empty tent, and attempt to fix my helmet.
Will this take up a full action?
-
Well, good game. It was a good fight. Better to have a drawn out battle than be obliterated in one shot at any rate.
I'll join the waitlist if I can. I've kinda forgotten what this particular game's stance on that is, and said stance is probably many pages back.
Edit: As a sidenote, I've had a rather silly idea. Would anyone mind if I do a report of sorts on the game state every now and then? Sort of like this was a tv competition. Typical sports commentary really, with all the over analysis generally involved in such things? It wouldn't be canon or anything obviously.
-
"So, what will it be, fellow Wiki-Warrior? Will you slay me as well? Because I'm not going to let myself just roll over and die."
If UR attacks me, try to bash her skull in. If UR lets me go, grab a few extra mags for my pistol, reload and go find a place where veggies and/or vegetable juice are in plentiful supply. Gotta juice up.
EDIT: Rip off some clothes off NAV's dead body (or from the policemen) and make myself a makeshift bandage for my leg.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have failed the Kaurava! Good fight you two.
Rewaitlist please!
-
I'll waitlist as well actually. Why not!

You have enough time to do something else if you want to.

Waitlist policy is that anyone not currently in the game csn waitlist at any time. And I would not oppose such after action reports.
-
In that case:
If I fix it this turn, I'll then test it out by, once again, mindreading a civilian to find a Wiki-Warrior. Their thoughts may have been cleared by the moon, glistening in the sky to remind them of better days.

If I fix it this turn, I'll then test it out by, once again, mindreading a civilian to find a Wiki-Warrior. Their thoughts may have been cleared by sunrise.
It's still nighttime, approximately somewhere between 12:00 and 1:30.
-
Oh! Okay, I wasn't paying attention to the time, assuming that was in the turn. I'll change mine to reflect that.

I added in time and weather a few turns ago to give the game more dynamic systems, thought it would make things a little more interesting.

Leave the golf club on Nav's corpse, loot police pistol from one of the corpses and then help Hawk132 to get to a safe, warm place

Seek out Wiki-Warriors.

By the way, you added a kill to Ukranian Ranger's tally, but not to Greatness's. Not sure if you missed any other death counts, but it probably doesn't matter too much given that no one else has actually died since Nanobones did all the way back in turn 14. And isn't that an interesting statistic.
-
Can of has wait list?

Start up a unique painting store—one that sells my paintings, of course. The gimmick: You can pay in weapons!

Thanks for catching that. As for that statistic, I think it's due to a change in playstyle around that time, where a lot of people switched from "seek & destroy", the prominent tactic in previous games, to other more subtle strategies, such as the multiple people gaining support/troops before engaging in combat.
I've also been thinking of implementing a system where killing important NPCs will also get you points; for example, killing a player companion (i.e., Execute's Loyal Servant) would net you .5 Points.
Can of has wait list?
You can.
-
I'm not really sure about that rule about NPCs. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed, but the criterion for who is important enough and who isn't seems difficult to decide. Execute's Loyal Servant doesn't seem all that significant in comparison to their army for example. Are they all important? Only the officers and commander? Maybe even just the commander? I guess I'm indifferent as of yet. In any event, here's that first after action report. I forgot that that term existed. Also, I use the term conquistador here as a sort of generic one. It is a close enough description anyway. Also I guess this turned out longer than I was expecting. Names are courtesy of the first random generator that came up on google search. It is in a spoiler so that people don't have to scroll past it every time they read the page.
Announcer 1: This is Graham Warren.
Announcer 2: And this is Van Harrison.
Graham: And you're watching the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: The only place to get updated on the only sport worth watching.
Graham: Individual analysis of every combatant, examination of their tactics, and live updates on the state of the arena.
Van: Its all right here, on WWR.
*Opening fanfare and slow pan of the commentators and the room they're in.*
Graham: Well, we've certainly had an interesting game of wiki warfare so far haven't we?
Van: That's right. Most of our combatants seem to be playing the long game here, but we've had some good battles here in Denmark, Wisconsin.
Graham: One battle between a gun wielding American and a Japanese samurai. Another with a golf club berserker against a J.C. Penny executive and a furious politician who just want his ten minutes. All this happening in the same city. This never gets old.
Van: You're right about that. These battles could go any way you can imagine or even anywhere. Just ask that combatant named Execute! And isn't that a name to drive fear into your enemies. Execute!
Graham: NAV was a strong contender, but victory is almost never certain. No matter how strong you are individually, teamwork is a hell of a thing. In addition, Greatness has shown us all once more that you CAN bring a knife to a gun fight.
Van: The city isn't looking too good after all this conflict though. The way things are going, our contestants may have difficulty finding supplies and shelter in the future.
Graham: That's certainly the case. Who would have thought the beginning of this war would be fraught with so many "natural" disasters. Sometimes that's just how the cookie crumbles though.
Van: With that general analysis over with, lets move on to our contestants.
Graham: Well, let's start off with that Execute fellow you seem to like so much.
Van: Execute wasn't a particularly strong contender in our rankings at first, but they've been surprising us all throughout this conflict.
Graham: That goes to show you what a power limited only by imagination is capable of.
Van: As long as Execute succeeds in their fight against the conquistadors in the painting realm, they may well have an overwhelming force to back them up.
Graham: Muskets and Crossbows may be antiquated, but a ranged weapon is still a strong asset. Plus, 18 soldiers is more than any of our other contestants can say they have. Anyone who wants to take on Execute better have a good plan.
Van: Personally, I'd say the best shot at defeating Execute is to take them out as quickly as possible, ignoring their support.
Graham: Hoping the morale of those soldiers will drop with the death of their god's avatar eh? Not a bad choice. Still, Execute isn't exactly a pushover on their own.
Van: Indeed. Even without their army, they're one of the strongest individual combatants in this fight. All those skills they have access to make them a veritable jack of all trades.
Graham: Execute is someone to watch out for, ideally from a distance. A strong contender all around. Well, who's next?
Van: How about Twinwolf?
Graham: Well, Twinwolf isn't a particularly strong combatant, but they've got a few tricks to work with. Fire breath is not too shabby, and that swallow technique could come in handy in a pinch.
Van: How about that chocolate bar? Lightning may be random, but who knows?
Graham: Random is certainly the name of the game here. Their bonuses to law might come in handy too. Still, they better hope they find a way to get Kartouwe running, because as is they've only got their fire breath to count on. Either that, or find a different weapon,
Van: Plus, their fire breath needs a source. Maybe we'll move on to someone else, but don't count Twinwolf out yet.
Graham: Let's talk about our aforementioned furious politician, Hawk. Mr. 10 minutes is a familiar face to veteran fans of this sport. However, they've taken a fair bit of damage. That beanbag injury looks especially nasty. If someone were to attack them now, they wouldn't be in a good state.
Van: Definitely true, but Ukranian Ranger doesn't seem the type to betray them so easily. If they find enough veggies, they might not be in as much medical danger as you think. They've also got skill in medicine, so they should be able to patch them self up long enough to find further aid.
Graham: Hawk is also still on the side of the police, so Ukranian Ranger may face retaliation. If Hawk manages to get healed, they're a good contender for the long haul. With the police on their side, they might even stand a good chance against Execute.
Van: That's enough about them for now, so lets talk about Nunzillor. They've got a wide variety of supplies, and a doctor to heal them if things get hairy. Their resistance to pain is also exceptional.
Graham: That last factor puts them well above the rest of the pack. Only their lack of a vehicle keeps them from being at the top of the charts. There's probably not much else to say here, as they've not had much time to make their presence known. They're definitely one to watch though.
Van: What do you think about AbstractTraitorHero?
Graham: Well, its certainly an interesting name. But in all seriousness, they've got a sports car, some combat and law skill, and not much else. A vehicle can be a highly effective tool, so we'll have to wait and see.
Van: Their plan to be elected mayor was a good one, but things just didn't work out for them. We'll have to see if they can salvage something from the ruins of their plan. Let's keep going down the list, shall we?
Graham: We've already mentioned Ukranian Ranger a few times, and that goes to show you that they're making a name for themself.
Van: There's something to be said for someone who gets right into the action. Ranger is allied with the Police much like Hawk. If they keep working together, they could become quite the deadly duo in time.
Graham: Business, Politics, Combat, Martial Arts... A plethora of skills, and the money to show for it in their ownership of a J.C. Penny store. There's no surprise that they've scored a kill already.
Van: If they manage to access that money, things could be even better for them. Who's next?
Graham: That'd be that samurai, Greatness.
Van: Their regeneration has certainly shown its worth hasn't it. Greatness is a walking armory in their own right, and they've got the skills to use that armory.
Graham: Don't forget that helmet. If they fix it, it could be a powerful asset. Greatness is a top contender to be sure.
Van: Let's move on to our most recent additions. We don't have much to go on about them, but their assets and skills should give us insight toward their chances of survival.
Graham: Fallacy of Urist has a fair few combat skills, and the armaments to use them. Some of their articles might not have much tactical use, but almost any skill can be used to busk for cash.
Van: Their weapons may be from World War 2, but the armies of the day counted on them for a reason. Fallacy is someone to keep your eyes on.
Graham: High tyrol is our first combatant in awhile with an air vehicle. And an armed one to boot. Death from above is a tried and true strategy. On the other hand, they've also got a professional race car to work with.
Van: There's certainly no harm in having a backup. Still, other than those forceps, their personal weapons are lacking. They do have some political skill, but otherwise they're highly reliant on their vehicles.
Graham: Finally, lets have a look at Elephant Parade.
Van: Have a look eh? What I'm looking at is a different era of combat. Anyway, they've got a good sword, a musket as a ranged weapon, and a good horse. That's something right?
Graham: It is. Their other skills are nothing to frown at either. How about a look at the town?
Van: Why not? Denmark, Wisconsin is a sort of quiet, rural town with not many people. A larger city probably would have taken the conflict much easier, but there's something to be said about small towns.
Graham: In terms of overall resources, Denmark probably has a lot less to offer. You really need to look around if you want something specific. In addition, the local government is probably also smaller, and that means the police force is smaller too.
Van: Not only that, the official hospitals are probably bound up with victims of all those natural disasters, and much work is going to be needed to clean up the mess. The fire department is probably going to be busy for awhile.
Graham: They've been sent emergency relief though, so combatants should be weary of causing more trouble in sight of those who are coming to help.
Van: I think that's about enough for now. We'll see you next time?
Graham: Stay tuned in to WWR for all the latest news about this great battle.
Edit: So uh, any opinions on this?
-
I like it. This seems like a fun way for people to know what's going on with Archive Binging the entire match. I do wish you could do a thing where these 2 commentators discuss events as well, something like "In recent news of this match up, the Kauravan combatant NAV has been killed by UR at this point." Or something along those lines, but that's just me.

Round 26: Government Cavalry
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
"So, what will it be, fellow Wiki-Warrior? Will you slay me as well? Because I'm not going to let myself just roll over and die." Hawk idly swings the Riot Gun around in his hands as he makes his statement for Ranger. The businesswoman shakes her head, "I don't kill people with a proper dresscode, and we both will benefit from partnership." She gingerly places the Golf Club onto NAV's body before recovering a Police Pistol and some ammunition from the nearby bodies of fallen law enforcement. (+Police Pistol) She slides on up next to Hawk, who gives a look of great suspicion.
"Now hopefully I'll even be able to find somebody to shoot..." FallacyofUrist creeps through the crowd, gently pushing shoulders away, emulating Ezio. On the streets of of Denmark she spots High tyrol and Elephant Parade, in a biplane and on a horse respectively, simply idling there. Fallacy pulls out her rifle preempting a possible assault...
Hawk searches one of the police officers for extra pistol magazines, finds them and loots the body before reloading his own pistol. He wipes his hand against his thigh and looks at it, coated in blood. He's got to get somewhere with a doctor, or better yet, somewhere he can make some veggie juice. He wearily eyes Ranger who is standing much to close for him for his comfort, as they both head deeper into the city in search of supplies. (Scouting: 1,10) After countless destroyed stores, Hawk sits down, convinced that there's no way he's getting out of this one before he bleeds out. Ranger taps him on the shoulder and points towards a locally owned grocery that hasn't been touched much by the blast. The two of them head inside the door which is still attached by a single hinge. Some of the contents are now rolling on the floor, but most of the place is in good shape. The power is off, but the weather has provided its own form of natural refrigeration, which has kept all of the food fresh so far.
Abstract wordlessly watches Autumn leave before burying his face into his hands. He begins to quietly sob, "....I'm....I'm I I'm a good person why? I helped those people all I want to do is live a nice life......." With tear-streaked eyes, he leaves the restaurant in search of some shelter, all the while trying not to give into depression and anguish. (8) He checks himself into a decent motel and flops down on a single bed, burying his face in the pillows. All he had done was try to be the best that he could and give back to the world, and it took everything from it and spit on his face. He ponders between the lines of becoming a bitter villain or maybe just dropping out of society and living in nature where he could find peace. Or he could watch every Madea movie on TV, which he does for the night.
Execute hides behind a pile of crates and gives them a solid knocking, attracting the attention of the nearest guard. He spins around, eyeing the crates and taking his sword out, cautiously approaching the spot...(9+2 vs. 7) Execute appears in the corner of the guard's eye, and before he can react Execute swings a chunk of scrap metal he had obtained nearby and hits the conquistador right on the noggin'. He crumples into a unconscious pile of metal and weaponry.
Nunzillor bows to the doctor and heads outside to meet her roughly dozen-and-a-half strong militia behind the hospital, Tiny Chuck among them. Nunzillor's request have been met with standard assault rifles, a couple snowmobiles, one grenade launcher, two light machine guns and a handful of hunting rifles."Patriots of Wisconsin! The time has come to take our freedom!" (5+2) Nunzillor political agenda is met with a warm reception by the Tea Partiers and her battle plan is laid out with similar accord. Nunzillor requests a radio for the purpose of communication and she receives what she asks for. (+Handheld Radio Communicator) The group splits up into their various divisions as they leave to increase speed while decreasing the risk of them being all stopped at once.
(9+2) The leader's, Nunzillor and Tiny Chuck ski to the unseen and unpopulated side area of Denmark and lie in wait.
(1) The sniper's report that they are being stopped by highway police, further complicated by the fact that their guns are not registered.
(8) The assault team reach the edge of town with no hassle and begin moving in.
(2) One of the snowmobiles crashed on the way to the town, with the remaining snowmobile attempting to help out their fallen comrades, whose situation at the moment is currently unknown.
Greatness ducks into an empty tent where he can work on his helmet without disturbances, pushing past people who eagerly get out of the way of the Samurai with the blood stained sword. (3) Greatness sits down and gets to work on his mind-reading device, but it is bad condition, Person shot through not one but multiple layers of fibers that will require some serious workmanship on, Greatness could probably fix it himself, but he has to be careful, one wrong move and he could permanently disable it.
Elephant Parade gets off his literal high horse to pitch his idea to the townspeople that he will sell his art in exchange for weaponry. This fails for two main reasons, 1. The people who's homes have been destroyed and possibly have had loved ones recently killed are not in the mood to buy art and 2. Elephant Parade, while an acclaimed artist in his hometown, is not known here, and does not actually have a portfolio or any sample work with him at the moment, so there is nothing to go upon but his own word. What a bunch of losers, one little Apocalypse and no one cares about landscape paintings anymore.
High tyrol makes her daring maneuver, leaping right out of the cockpit of her plane and into the driver's seat of her racecar, a move that would surely have netted her 8.7 had professional judges been watching. She looks to ram her vehicle into the elusive Fallacy who she hears is sneaking around, (1) and spots her standing right in front of her! (8+2 vs. 9) Fallacy runs away screaming but Tyrol doesn't take her foot off of the gas, up to the point where she hits Fallacy, knocking her to the ground. Tyrol revs the engine, about to finish her off when the social critic notices a horrified crowd gathering around Fallacy. It's at this point that Tyrol realizes she has mistaken a random Texan/Algerian-looking woman for Fallacy. Whoops.
A mixture of lights and sirens attract the people of Denmark, who navigate to the edge of their campsite to greet the emergency vehicles that have arrived, among them are cruisers and SUVS from the Green Bay Police Department, ambulances, and FEMA trucks. The first order of business is attending to the sick and injured while the officials begin corralling people into groups to be transferred to Green Bay by order of importance; a visible wave of calm and hope is sparked in the crowds of people, even in the presence of police officers heavily armed and armored with Kelvar vests.
One police officer ducks into the tent where Greatness is tinkering with his helmet, "Sir, if you could come outside, we're getting everyone evacuated..." Once the officer realizes he is speaking to a Wiki-Warrior, his concerned expression turns to one of disdain. "Oh, you're one of those people who started this whole thing aren't ya'? Well you stay here and mind your damn business, you people are causing enough trouble already," he orders before leaving the tent.
A FEMA official puts his hand on Fallacy's shoulder, "Hey miss, the transportation is the other way...wait, why are you carrying all those guns?...Oh." He steps away. "Wiki-Warrior. Got it." He moves away from her, muttering something under his breath.
A group of ER's surround the civilian injured in the motor-vehicle accident and begin performing aid on her. High tyrol has not been noticed by the emergency officials nor has she been linked to the accident, but if she doesn't get out of here soon or come up with a story, trouble is going to get to her fast.
Nunzillor and Tiny Chuck watch the assault team from a distance as they begin to enter Denmark through a side road, unseen by anyone yet. "What the hell is that?" Nunzillor's attention snaps as Chuck points out vehicles coming into the city's main entrance. "Wait a second, what are the Feds doing here?" He glares at Nunzillor and in a harsh whisper exclaims, "You didn't tell me the fucking Feds were coming here! You expect us to fight the fucking police force?"

I frown before turning to Tiny Chuck. "Several of your men— our men— have already sacrificed themselves so that we could make it here. We are not leaving. Not yet. The situation has changed since yesterday, but we can still make this work. The plan is the same: we need to masquerade as members of this tournament and defeat the combatants battling here. The key is to avoid engaging the authorities for now."
"If things start to look bad, we can pull out, regroup, recruit more soldiers, and return when things are more favorable. The intention always was to wage a guerrilla war, after all. Watashitachiha vixtorious ni narimasu!"
Radio to the assault rifle team to seek cover in nearby buildings. They will move forward from building to building (spreading out slightly but within 20 seconds of each other), keeping out of view of the main streets and inhabited areas. Once they get eyes on a wiki-warrior, they are to stop immediately, take cover, and notify me. Avoid detection at all costs.
Tell the snipers to attempt to talk their way out of the situation. If that fails, cooperate. Do not mention the assault on Denmark. If they make it, tell them to take up overwatch on my current position.
Radio to the remaining snowmobile. Get its status and also ascertain the fate of the men on the crashed snowmobile. If they cannot locate the downed vehicle, they should just come to Denmark immediately. Do we still have the grenade launcher?
I will rendezvous with the assault rifle team, also using buildings as cover, staying out of main streets, and generally sticking to the shadows. I will stop immediately, take cover out of sight, and notify the assault rifle team to stop if we find a wiki-warrior.
Tiny Chuck is to stay at this position for now and report on all visible government and wiki-warrior movement until the snipers arrive to take his place.
-
I shrug it off, as Samurai are higher ranked, I'm sure. After the shrug, I very carefully attempt to fix my helmet, making sure I don't damage it any further, or even destroy it. If any other Officers come up in here, and attempt to stir up trouble, I wanna say this: "Officer, listen. Even though I am a Wiki-Warrior, I did not damage your city. In fact, I'm here to battle other Wiki-Warriors. Collateral Damage is not my mission, nor my intention. Please, give me the time I need to complete my goal of battling powerful warriors."
-
Stay on guard near the door of the grocery shop. Be ready to fire at anything that looks like a wiki warrior or their minions
-
Alright, take the sword, and scarper down the stairs into the hull, look through stuff there, but carfully, don't wanna run into some barracks.
-
In the morning try to find an actual job preferably in politics or wrestling after that drive around town to relax and finally if he sees a wiki warrior he runs em over but only if they have noticed me and they are armed.

This party's gettin' crazy! I quite like Nunzillor's progress here, even if their help got ruined by the dice. Honestly I'm tempted to drop out of the waitlist so I can keep doing this while impartial as possible, but I have absolutely no problem recognizing my deficiencies. So nah I'm not dropping out. If my character isn't doing well, them's the ropes.
Graham: Welcome back to the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: I don't think we need to do the spiel again quite yet, do you?
Graham: No, we're not really obligated no. Maybe after the next break?
Van: Right then, lets take another quick look at the standings. If we don't mention a particular warrior, it is probably because they haven't accomplished much recently.
Graham: You can safely assume that they're biding their time, accruing resources and contacts.
Graham: Hawk and Ranger have officially established a solid team in this conflict. With the police on their side, they'll probably be something to reckon with.
Van: That's if they can patch up the damage that NAV dealt to them with good speed.
Graham: Well that goes without saying. With the arrival of additional authorities, their standing with them might well aid them even more.
Van: Either that, or that standing may come in to question. After all, their police support kind of got killed.
Graham: Execute continues their sabotage, though any substantial results are yet to be seen.
Van: Still, its nice to have one soldier less to deal with later.
Graham: On another note, it looks like Nunzillor has made their move. The abilities of the rebels seem to be questionable, but this rebellion has great potential.
Van: If the police manage to get the sniper team talking, it might be a rather short lived one though. With all the authorities entering the city, this might be somewhat poorly timed.
Graham: Yes, Nunzillor better hope they can appease Tiny Chuck before things get more problematic.
Graham: High tyrol certainly didn't waste any time looking for a target. A little bit more thought could have done them good.
Van: I can't wait to see how they get out of this one.
Graham: On a different note, numerous wiki warriors have made contact with the authorities, police or otherwise. The citizens of Denmark have certainly made their displeasure known.
Van: In the future, most of our warriors can probably expect a reputation as frosty as the current weather. Those with vehicles might want to consider moving to greener pastures.
Graham: Of course, as per usual any new warriors must still at least set foot in Denmark. Rules are rules.
Van: Not much has really happened as of late, to be honest. The next few hours should be something to behold though.
Graham: We'll have more news for you as it happens. Don't touch that dial, because we'll be right back.
Either this is being aired in a world with several hour long commercial breaks, or weird spacetime nonsense is going on. Probably the latter, given that they can still see Execute. Also their audience still has dials I guess?

Round 27: Contact
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
Hawk limps into the produce section which looks to him like a medicine cabinet. He scoops up armfuls of celery, cabbage and onions, clutching them close to his chest and getting quite emotional. Ranger looks to be disturbed by this on some levels and elects to stand by the front door while Hawk handles his weird veggie ritual. Hawk scarfs down the food as if it were a liquid, which it actually becomes as it enters his mouth. The new substance fills his stomach with nutrients that are hypermetabolized, healing him of all his wounds. (Right Thigh & Right Ankle Cured)
"Die! For Texas! You shall menace me no more! Although you never did- forget it, you're dead." Fallacy pulls the MAS-36 off of her shoulder strap and aims it at the combatant on his horse. (9+2 vs. 8) Fallacy fires off two quick shots at Elephant, the first striking him through the left foot, passing through the bone, and going into the lower torso of his horse. Elephant holds onto the reins of his horse to prevent himself from falling off, while his mount unsteadily stumbles to the side, having suffered an even more serious wound.
Greatness shrugs and does not bother with the police officer anymore, after all, they are only recognized in their village while Samurai where known throughout all of Japan. The officer exits the tent ungraciously and leaves Greatness to his devices, allowing him to continue carefully working on his broken helmet, taking care not to damage it further. (2) He actually makes significant progress in repairing the helmet, but while moving it he slips on a patch of ice below him and lands on top of his invention. As he gets up, he sees that the weight of his body compounded by his armor has reduced the helmet to pieces of broken metal and shattered glass shards. An array of released chemical liquids seep into the ground beneath him.
Elephant Parade unsheathes his Officer's Sabre and turns his racehorse towards the direction of Fallacy. He spurs his horse into a gallop, the beast whines and sprints at Parade, leaving a trail of blood beneath. (5+1 vs 2) Fallacy leaps away as Parade goes thundering by her, but not far enough as his blade is still able to reach her and cuts into her skull. The impact of the attack sends Fallacy spinning to the ground, the attack missing her brain as far as she can tell but it still opened up a large gash that leaks a substantial amount of blood.
Ukranian Ranger allows Hawk to heal himself while she leans on the display window outside of the front of the grocery, her pistol dangling from her idly swinging right hand. (Perception: 1-1) Out of the corner of her, she notices a figure moving behind some wreckage. Altered, she pulls her gun up and holds it with both hands while hustling over to the space. She turns the corner, and pulls her pistol on...a cat. (Distracted: -1 to next Combat roll)
Execute relives the guard of his sword, (+Shortsword) and stuffs him inside of a barrel before heading down the stair's said guard was covering. Ducking under the eyes of the guards on the opposite side of the deck, Execute finds himself in a space totally different from the last ship. He is in a corridor filled with cannons and cannon balls. And where there are cannons...he rifles around until he finds several sacks full of dark, dusty gunpowder, gritty to the touch.
High tyrol drives away from the scene and retreats to her Biplane, hopping out of her car and attaching its front bumper to a towing cable on the aerial vehicle. Tyrol then takes the somewhat unorthodox method of towing the racecar using her plane and driving it to the nearest airway, which happens to be all the way in Green Bay. (4) Tyrol gets held up in traffic, many people honking at her as they try and navigate around her on the highway.
Abstract wakes up, gets in his car and begins to drive around the Green Bay area looking for work. (1) Staring out the window for "HELP WANTED" signs, Abstract fails to see that a pickup truck has accidentally veered into his lane. (9+2 vs. 4) Abstract split second instincts swerve him out of the way while the truck zooms past him and slams into a barrier.
"Several of your men— our men— have already sacrificed themselves so that we could make it here. We are not leaving. Not yet. The situation has changed since yesterday, but we can still make this work. The plan is the same: we need to masquerade as members of this tournament and defeat the combatants battling here. The key is to avoid engaging the authorities for now."
Nunzillor turns to Tiny Chuck, obviously distressed by his remarks, "If things start to look bad, we can pull out, regroup, recruit more soldiers, and return when things are more favorable. The intention always was to wage a guerrilla war, after all. Watashitachiha vixtorious ni narimasu!" She slips into the street and runs along the shadows of the buildings. Tiny Chuck, with a lack of emotion, stays behind, toying with his rifle.
Nunzillor attempts to contact the Sniper Team, but there is no response on their radio frequency.
The Mobile Team reports that one snowmobile and two men are totally incapacitated. They say that they've recovered the Grenade Launcher and are back on route. (3) They then inform Nunzillor that there is significant police presence in the area and they will have to take a long detour which will delay their arrival.
Assault Team stays among the buildings, moving among them one by one. (Perception: 5-1) They report to Nunzillor that they have come across no Wiki-Warriors at the moment. (Group Stealth vs. Perception: 4+1 vs. 8-1) After shooing the cat away, Ukranian Ranger spots someone crouching in a building; the moon reflects a piece of metal in their hands. (3-1-1 vs. 6) Ranger fires three times and misses not only the target but the entire building he is taking cover in as well. After firing, Ranger runs back into the grocery store with Hawk. Nunzillor picks up hectic radio chatter, "Contact! Contact! Somewhere from the North, in those buildings on the other side of the street!" (4) Nunzillor is still a few blocks away from the Assault Team when she receives this transmission.
The first wave of refugees from Denmark have begun moving out.

Elephant Parade unsheathes his Officer's Sabre and turns his racehorse towards the direction of Elephant Parade. He spurs his horse into a gallop, the beast whines and sprints at Parade, leaving a trail of blood beneath.
I think I understand what happened, but I'm still a little bit confused.
Off with 'er head! Use the musket, since it has a higher bonus.
-
Hahaha, was not expecting to fall onto it, but imagining that in my head is absolutely hilarious!
I take great care into making sure both my person, and my items are not damaged by the fall or the chemicals. If I'm not already standing up, then, er, stand. I'll then walk out of the camps, and into Denmark proper, using standard sneaking techniques and Bushido instinct to avoid being seen by any Civilian, Cop, or Wiki-Warrior.
-
((I get the feeling that Tiny Chuck is going to turn on me...))
Radio to Assault Team: "Copy that. Check the northern buildings one by one, staying away from the main doors and checking instead through rear and side entrances. They may have lost sight of you, so continue to attempt to move stealthily. When you find the correct building, surround it, being sure to take cover."
"Attempt to avoid engagement until I arrive, but return fire if cornered, caught unawares, or if the combatants attempt to leave the building. We'll contain them until we are ready for a group assault. I'm on my way."
Ask Mobile Team how many grenades they have for the launcher.
Move towards the northern buildings, remaining in stealth, and reunite with the Assault Team. If by the time I arrive the combatants are contained in the building, lead a charge to end them.

Twinwolf's conversation with the store clerk, particularly on the subject of new strange events around town, seems to distract him from his initial suspicion. "That...stuff...that's going on outside, I don't want any part of that. Seems awfully unholy to me, fire comin' out of the sky, and I hear tales of people who can jump over a building or read minds and other baloney. I know the Wikipedia Council randomly picks each city to host its games but...I really wish they didn't pick us. We're just a small, family oriented simple town. Why'd they have to come here of all places?"
This is the last exchange with your character, Twinwolf. So far it has been successful in diverting the store clerk's attention from his suspicious inquiry.
-
"AGH! But... I bet that hurt you more than it hurt me! *huff.... huff...* You know what! I've got... *huff*... a surprise for you!"

Round 28: A Short Duel
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
Elephant swings his horse around and sheathes his sword, swapping it out for his Musket. (7+2 vs. 2) The businessman fires off the flintlock device, and through the smoky explosion of the gun a single musketball hits Fallacy in the forehead, skull, right below her previous wound. She flops onto the ground as Elephant lowers his shot and looks to see what damage he has caused, and is sufficiently satisfied. His horse painful whines.
Elephant Parade 1776'd FallacyofUrist!

High tyrol continues to cruise down in the street in her biplane, hitting the asphalt, swerving the lanes. (3) The highway is being held at a standstill due to traffic up ahead, and she comes nowhere near close to an airplane hangar. "What's going on?" Tyrol rolls down her window and asks the car next to her. "Radio says that there's been an accident with some sort of truck!" Comes the reply. "Hey! Are you driving a plane? That's not something you see everyday."
Execute works out his plan by taking the bags of gunpowder and tucking them into spaces that represent weak or critical points in the structure of the ship. (6+2) Storing the gunpowder in these vulnerable nooks and crannies would result in extreme damage if they were to, say, explode. He then uses some nearby rope as a fuse for the gunpowder and finally ignites the fuse sections of rope with a tinderbox. (5) Execute jumps out of a porthole and flies away, just in time for the ship to get rocked with internal explosions; he's barely in time, as the force of the synchronized blasts helps to propel him away, the heat of the reaction hot on his back. As he ascends, the air becomes thick with smoke and screams and cries of agony and confusion come from far below. Taking a look behind him, Execute spies the ship split into parts and sinking, as if a Kraken were pulling it into the depths below. He also becomes aware of the fact that the tip of his left wing is on fire.
Abstract, finally compelled to perform altruism again in his now meaningless life, swings his door wide open and rushes to the scene of the accident. He runs up to the door of the truck, "Are you alright?" The truck driver responds by unconsciously slumping over. Abstract opens the truck door and rifles through the man's pockets, using his cellphone to call for an ambulance. The driver remains unmoving and breathing, but very softly and with effort.
Greatness stands up from his fall and looks over himself to check that the chemicals from the helmet, particularly the acidic ones, didn't spill onto him or anything he had. After a quick looking, everything appears to be in order, besides from what was once his hypnotism device. He peeks out of the tent, watching vehicles full of people drive off down the road, and in the other direction, he spots Elephant Parade killing Fallacy with a headshot. Greatness exits, taking great care to avoid anyone seeing him. (7) None of them do, particularly Elephant Parade who is more concerned with figuring out if he killed Fallacy or not. Greatness turns a street corner and heads down a road, shielded by the cover of buildings and debris. The more he heads into the city, the louder he can hear gunshots coming from within.
Nunzillor updates her Assault Team on plans, giving them orders to sweep the buildings one at a time until the enemy can be found, but to fire if they're in danger or if the targets attempt to flee. (Perception: 2-1) The three militia leave the building, including one who tries to be cool by vaulting out of a broken window; in the darkness he ends up falling over the windowsill onto the ground. (3) "Ah shit! I busted my knee! Help!" The other two militia stop what they are doing and regroup to help their injured comrade. This, of course, leads to them not spending any time looking for their actual targets.
Nunzillor regroups with her squad to find that they have had no luck in finding the enemy, and have incurred an injury without getting fired upon. Nunzillor freezes for a moment to rub her forehead and sigh before looking for the Wiki-Warriors herself. (Perception vs. Stealth: 7-1) She sees a flicker of movement in a storefront in the distance. Could that be...? At this point they could be getting away, she has to take the shot. Nunzillor shoots off down the street, charging at the store while out her rifle. (1+2-1 vs. 3) Nunzillor fires a shot, unsure if she hit anyone in the heavy darkness, but getting the feeling that she didn't due to the lack of a loud thud or a scream of pain. (1 vs. 9) Ukranian attempts to fire back but she hears a click, despite the gun containing enough ammo. Uh oh.
Hawk grabs two plastic grocery bags and stuffs them with as many vegetables as he can without exceeding the capacity of either. Then, like the hero he is, he dives behind the counter and waits for the retreat.
Ukranian runs back into the grocery store, a single bullet flying past her down the road. She spins around and attempts to fire back, but is unable to get a shot off; her gun has Jammed at a very inopportune time. Cursing, she runs towards the back, signaling Hawk to follow her, which he does, bags of vegetables and all. (1) The two of them get to the back where there is an exit door, and when Ukranian opens it she finds that the exit way is blocked by the husk of an SUV that's on fire. Dandy.
Although most people were trying to leave Denmark, the city does gain one new arrival, one that parks his riverboat on the banks of the river that goes into the heart of Denmark. A lightly clothed man, the most muscular contestant that has been seen yet, jumps onto the shore. He walks forth, cracking his knuckles. "And with the jawbone of an ass, he slew hundreds of Roman soldiers..." He picks up a weighted barbell and shrugs his impressive 'stache.

That's was the fastest kill we've had in a while, wasn't it?
Person, if you don't mind, I'd like to add the AAR's to the OP of the game, for the convenience of anyone trying to catch up on the latest turns.
As a result of me being tired, I misread Nunzillor's action and was quite confused for a few seconds:
((I get the feeling that Tiny Chuck is going to turn me on...))
-
Watch their condition after turning car off to preserve gas.
-
I continue sneaking my way into the city, going toward the gunshots. Once I see the source of the rounds, I'll sneak my way onto a rooftop, making sure no one can see me. After that, I wait, and observe for the perfect moment to strike.
-
OH DEAR GOD FLY INTO THE WATER.
Preferably away from the invaders though.
-
((Haha, turn on me. But damn, those were some bad rolls.))
Baka!
I sigh. "Charge, now!"
Mobile team: launch a grenade at a random building on the other side of town to split the police response.
Charge the building, get inside, shoot them.
-
Person, if you don't mind, I'd like to add the AAR's to the OP of the game, for the convenience of anyone trying to catch up on the latest turns.
I wasn't really able to post one for turn 27 due to irl shenanigans, but I guess I'll just make the next one a double feature or something. Also go ahead.
Edit: AAR GOES HERE!
Graham: Welcome back to the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: You may have noticed a slight hiatus in our reporting. That's is because this is a special double feature episode. Double the time, double the action, double the reporting.
Graham: But that also means double the time to prepare our analysis.
Van: We probably won't be doing this special feature again anytime soon, but let's get down to business.
Graham: For those of you clamoring for an update on AbstractTraitorHero, here you are. First things first, I think we'll just call them ATH from now on. Anyway, what do you think Van?
Van: Well, they've certainly taken a more empathetic route than most of the warriors so far. This might actually work out for them, as it should improve their standing with the citizens of Denmark.
Graham: A reputation as a good samaritan is often as tough to earn as it is to keep. One can't help but wonder when they intend to engage in combat, however.
Van: No one is really obligated to fight in the wars, but it's certainly an unusual decision. Still, I'm sure they have something planned. Being on the sidelines like this should let them gain influence. Let's move on to Elephant Parade.
Graham: What a fast and furious battle that was.
Van: Those two certainly wasted no time.
Graham: Seems like Elephant Parade being on his high horse came him a fair bit of cover. Both horse and man are wounded, but neither injury is particularly serious.
Van: It might be a fair bit more difficult to treat a horse than it is for Elephant to treat them self though. Still, they've already claimed a place on the leader boards, and the support of our viewers.
Graham: Fallacy put up a good fight, but their newer weapons just didn't make up for the endurance and skill Elephant was able to display. How's our samurai looking?
Van: Greatness has gone and broken their helmet. An unfortunate loss, but not completely crippling. They're still well armed and dangerous.
Graham: I question their decision not to obtain Person's equipment, but they're pretty well loaded with gear as is. Maybe they simply thought it more honorable not to loot the dead.
Van: That's certainly possible. Now that's he's made his way into the city, he'll probably be in the thick of the brewing revolution. It should be interesting to see how they react to the conflict. If their stealth holds out, they could make quite the strike against any adversaries they encounter.
Graham: Nunzillor's henchmen prove to be more accident prone by the second. Goes to show you that even in a rebellion, the cover of darkness can still be an enemy to any plan you make. I find myself lacking confidence in Nunzillors troops, but that doesn't reflect on the Warrior themself.
Van: The only piece that matters is the King. Anything else is expendable.
Graham: I guess that's one way of putting it. Let's see how Ukranian Ranger reacts to this situation.
Van: They've still got Hawk on their side, which should help if Nunzillor catches up to them. However, Ranger is still injured, and their pistol needs to be unjammed before they can contribute to the fight.
Graham: Speaking of Hawk, it was quite fortunate for them to find that shop. Many fans were on the edge of their seats for a while there.
Van: They've still got plenty of firepower to work with, so we'll have to see if two pistols can overwhelm one rifle.
Graham: They're pinned down inside that store though, and if Nunzillor's henchmen get back to work, they'll be the ones who are outgunned. Anyway, next up is High tyrol.
Van: High tyrol has managed to escape detection, but it was only to run into another accident. Some luck, eh? They may well meet up with ATH at this rate, and we'll have to see whether they ally or fight each other. I'm betting on them being allies, but nothing is certain.
Graham: This is why small towns are great. All the combatants are generally in walking distance of each other, so the fights are back to back to back. Say, Execute has been busy hasn't he.
Van: They certainly have. One ship down, two more to go.
Graham: Its not just two ships Van. Its just that two of those ships are more important. They've still got around a dozen ships to contend with, and they didn't escape that last explosion unscathed.
Van: I suppose you're right. I don't like their chances to do that 10 more times. Here's hoping they finish the job and bring the fight back to the real world.
Graham: But is the world in that painting not real too?
Van: Bah, I don't like those sorts of arguments. Its all pointless navel gazing. Give me some death and violence and I'm happy.
Graham: I worry about you, I really do. We've gone off topic.
Van: Oh, so that's my fault then? We've uh, missed someone right?
Graham: Ah right, Salsacookies.
Van: Hmm. Let's have a look here. Hey, that's a boat isn't it?
Graham: Why yes it is. Well, its not armed, but they might be able to take advantage of the river in Denmark. Maybe they'll even start charging tolls, heh.
Van: Hey, don't speculate on stuff like that. That's the viewer's job.
Graham: Then what are WE here for?
Van: Just read the damn papers.
Graham: Alright, alright. So, they've got quite a bit of melee power. I wonder how good a weapon that barbell is? What do you think about that ability of theirs, Revolving Door Revolution?
Van: Well, I'm not really sure. They can use it often enough, but there's probably some way to exploit it.
Graham: Do doors stay locked if they become revolving doors? If not, can they just get through security that way.
Van: Huh, that's a thought. Some rich bloke goes to check his safe, and finds a slowly spinning door at its front. How would you even react to that?
Graham: No idea Van, no idea. Anyway, the citizens of Denmark have been taking their leave as of late. Perhaps they're waiting for all of this to blow over. Hey, do you think we should tell them this is just gonna keep going? If you haven't noticed yet, this is actually the first test of an endless wiki war. Though, I suppose a winner might be declared eventually.
Van: Its not our job to decide stuff like that. There can certainly be a winner in spirit though, and that's whoever has the most warrior kills.
Edit2: Oh man I've been having so much trouble with tenses lately. That's what happens when you edit the words that have meaning while ignoring the bits of the English Language that actually structure those words. Also I couldn't find a way to work the Wikipedia Council into this yet because I had forgotten what it was called. We've been getting a lot more lore lately, which is to say lore exists at all beyond an excuse plot.
-
First, place all my barbell weights on one side of the pole, and fasten them tightly, creating a very heavy hammer. Then, Leisurely walk towards my nearest opponent. Kindly greet him with a barbell whack to the face!
-
Dismount horse. Find veterinarian—get directions to one, if possible.

Twinwolf's conversation with the store clerk, particularly on the subject of new strange events around town, seems to distract him from his initial suspicion. "That...stuff...that's going on outside, I don't want any part of that. Seems awfully unholy to me, fire comin' out of the sky, and I hear tales of people who can jump over a building or read minds and other baloney. I know the Wikipedia Council randomly picks each city to host its games but...I really wish they didn't pick us. We're just a small, family oriented simple town. Why'd they have to come here of all places?"
This is the last exchange with your character, Twinwolf. So far it has been successful in diverting the store clerk's attention from his suspicious inquiry.
"Perhaps because of the remote location? While I can't imagine they care for human life, if it were a big city there would likely be a much larger response, and as far as I'm aware they're not invincible."
Best to keep a low profile for now, was the thought. Don't want to ruin the possible element of surprise on the first opponent.
-
Turn the lights off (or just throw something at them if it means I might get seen while out of cover) if they aren't already. Prepare to ambush anyone who comes near (they might know we're here, but they don't know where exactly). Shoot'em. Be ready to eat veggies at any moment.
-
Throw the useless gun away, get ready to ambush anyone who enters with unarmed attacks
-
((Wow I died fast. Bad INIT roll too. I'll rewaitlist, if you don't mind.))
-
((Wow I died fast.))
((You only have yourself to blame. And the dice, maybe.))

Round 29: Grocery Gangfight
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
Twinwolf stays in the gas station store to converse with the clerk. "Perhaps because of the remote location? While I can't imagine they care for human life, if it were a big city there would likely be a much larger response, and as far as I'm aware they're not invincible." The clerk places his hands down on the counter, shaking his head. "They said it was random, totally random. It could have been some forest or mountain where no one was around. But it had to be here, where people were trying to live their lives and raise families. And now people are homeless, people are dead. And there ain't nothing nobody can do about it. Christ, even the army wouldn't know how to deal with a guy that could make tornadoes or turn into a dragon. I just hope they all leave, find somewhere else to busy themselves with killing each other." The clerk picks his head up and looks at Twin, narrowing his eyes. "Say, I don't recognize you. Which direction did you blow in from?"
Nunzillor shakes her head, this might not be as easy as she once thought. "Charge, now!" Nun skiis through the road, onto the asphalt and through the open doors. (Perception vs. Stealth: 10-1 vs. 9) Nunzillor swings her head around in an effort to spot her enemies, her eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness. She stares into the space behind the cash register, nearly jumping when she sees an armed Hawk looking back at her, a stick of celery already between his teeth. (Dexterity: 5 vs. 3) Nunzillor gets her gun up and into position slightly before Hawk can do the same. (6+2 vs. 8) Hawk ducks and a single rifle bullet hits the end of the celery stalk, ripping it out of his mouth, but leaving him otherwise unharmed.
The two standing members of the Assault Team charge the building, while the third stays behind to complain further about his injuries. (Perception: 4-1 vs. 10) The two of them rush in and begin firing wildly, utterly destroying cans and plastic packages with ammunition while not actually hitting anyone. Nunzillor has to duck herself to avoid friendly fire.
It is only at this point that the Mobile Team arrives at Downtown Denmark. "Assault Team, what's your status?"
In the ensuing chaos, Hawk grabs a turnip out of his bag. The two Assault militia cease firing for a moment, "Boss, you okay?" (1 vs. 4) Hawk pops out from under the counter and fires at the militia, trying to down each of them with a single shot and failing to injure either on both attempts. (9 vs. 10) Right before they retaliate, Hawk grabs the cash register and slides it in front of his position before ducking beneath it, letting the device absorb and deflect bullets as he hides.
Ukranian throws her pistol to the ground and goes on the offensive, rushing out of the shadows at Nunzillor. (5+2 vs. 7) Ukranian leaps and flying spin-kicks the back of Nunzillor's head. However, due to the puffy nature of Nun's clothing, she misestimates the location of her target and lands a blow on the rebel's hoodie, slightly damaging her clothing but doing no actual damage to her body.
Abstract turns off the gas in the truck to prevent it from running further and watches over the driver as he awaits help. The ambulances arrive quickly, and a pair of emergency responders pulls the driver out from the truck. As one performs CPR on him, the other asks Abstract, "Do you know him?"
Execute dives into the waters below to purge himself of the fire. He slows as he gets closer to the sea, not wanting to descend hundreds of feet and the hit the water at a blistering speed. Execute splashes and then resurfaces, his head bobbing over the water and his body soaked. His wing has become extinguished and the invaders are too far away to spot him. He swims away, surfacing about a quarter mile down the shoreline behind a cluster of rocks. As he shakes to dry himself out, he realizes the unforeseen consequences of his dive in that his wings are now too heavy to fly with and will remain that way until they dry off.
Greatness continues slinking in the shadows as he makes his way closer and closer to the source of the gunfire. As he gets closer, he watches as loud exclamations and gunshots go off in a single one-story building, the darkness within occasionally illuminated by gunfire. Seeking an opportunity, he moves towards the back of the storefront, careful to avoid any attention, which is easy considering the fighters inside are more considered with each other than what's going on beyond their space. On the rooftop of the grocery, Greatness stands by the front with one foot on the edge, peering down. He holds a Javelin in one of his hands, ready to attack, though while he is up there, no one comes back out of the store.
Salsacookies makes some modifications to his Barbell by taking all the weights on one end and adding them to the other side, in effect turning the Barbell into a giant hammer. (Barbell + Modification = Barbell Hammer) The hammer weighs well over 300 pounds, and is even harder to lift due to its lopsided nature; anyone below Salsacookies level of strength and muscularity would have an extremely hard time performing the tiniest of swings. Salsacookies walks into the city, dragging his weapon behind him like a giant club. He spots a snowmobile turning a corner and going into the town, which peaks his interest. As he climbs a nearby incline, he spots a man laying prone on top of it, armed with a rifle pointed into the city. (Stealth vs. Perception: 3-1[Heavy Object] vs. 2-1-1[Distracted/Focused]) Tiny Chuck is so engrossed in looking at what's going on down the road, he fails to hear the big man with the bigger weapon coming from behind him. Salsacookies, once he is basically on top of Chuck, greets him, "Buonasera." (1 vs. 4) Salsacookies, despite the claim of being the strongest man in the Italian Peninsula, struggles to lift his new contraption off the ground. "Oh God what the fu-" Chuck jumps to his feet and turns around, swinging his rifle at Salsa. (3 vs. 5) The rifle stock harmless bounces off of the bodybuilders massive shoulder.
Elephant Parade dismounts his horse and pulls it by the reins, favoring one foot as he attempts to find help. Approaching one of the police officers, he requests the aid of a veterinarian. "Sorry sir, but we're trying to get folks out of here first, priority on people. Let me see...do we have a veterinarian around here?" One of the health-aid workers steps forward, stating that while she was helping treat people, she is specialized in veterinarian work. She takes a look at the horse, "Poor thing, it's needs help right away, I have some things left over." The people around Elephant and the vet are explicitly angered at this, the overall frustration coming from the fact that she is using her energy and resources to help a horse while there are people in need of assistance.

((Wow I died fast. Bad INIT roll too. I'll rewaitlist, if you don't mind.))
Confirmed.
Excellent work on the AAR as usual, Person.
-
No sir is there anything that you need my help with chap?
Ask above question observe surrondings wait for responce.
-
Intense!
I continue to wait on the rooftop, still trying to remain undetected. As a reflex action, as soon as someone leaves the building, lob the Javelin in my hand at them, using Shinobi techniques to make sure it hits, and it hits Hard.
If I do that action, will I instantly be noticed, or can I throw it at anyone who comes through, and then re-enter stealth? EDIT: Makes sense, I guess a Samurai throwing Javelins would look...off, to say the least. Sticking to it, though.
-
Better than burning to death.
Do I know where the natives camp is?
-
Thank veterinarian. Offer to let the evacuation officials use the horse once it's healed, if they need it, but request that they give it back once the evacuation is finished. Compose a song based on my recent, violent experiences.
-
Better than burning to death.
Do I know where the natives camp is?
You have an idea of the general direction.

If they are distracted by other fighting, then you will have the opportunity to reenter stealth. If they spot you and realize that a Samurai is throwing spears at them, they'll be able to find your position.

((There's only three on assault team? Were most of the militia snipers? Not good...
Edit: oh, I see the militia count in the status now. Damn, I'm a moron.))
"I'm fine, but identify your targets before you fire!"
Attempt to take out Hawk132 UR (my bad, got them confused) with the rifle.
Mobile team: need you to make a distraction on other side of town, then come to my position. Help Chuck!
-
Start walking, preferably in the general direction of the camp.
-
Attack Nunzillor again, try to kick the rifle out of her hands and then land a right handed punch in her head
-
Try to take out Nunzillor's assault team.
-
Tackle Chuck, then go hammer down on him.
Tiny Chuck: watch my position and be ready to fire if any of the combatants leave the building.
I believe Chuck is currently occupied with not being smash into paste at the moment. Please hold while he tries not to die.
-
((Oops, I missed that. Yeah, better let that be sorted out, one way or another.))

Hey, could you waitlist me? This is truly a glorious thread.

AAR, ye mates. 4 warriors in that little shopping mart, and 3 assault team members. Delicious chaos. I wonder who will go down first, as I doubt escape is much of an option anymore.
Graham: You know the drill by now. Or maybe you don't? Keep watching anyway.
Van: Why don't you take this more seriously?
Graham: Anyway, let's keep analyzing our combatants.
Van: So you're just going to ignore me this time then?
Graham: Nunzillor's targets are putting up quite the fight, and their Assault team is less coordinated than would be ideal.
Van: Looks like that mobile team has finally gotten itself together, but boy did that take awhile.
Graham: Ukranian Ranger gets right into the action with a flying kick, but all for naught. It bounces right off of Nunzillor's clothes.
Van: Was it a good idea to abandon the pistol like that? We'll just have to wait and see.
Graham: Hawk can't accomplish much when they fire a few shots either, so even their teamwork doesn't seem to be helping their odds much.
Van: They've got a good defensive position here, but that can only go so far.
Graham: Execute has made their way to safety, but they won't be able to rely on flight to give them the high ground for awhile. Will they go on foot, or just try to dry themself off?
Van: Most people aren't really used to having wings. They've got a couple downsides to them in some cases, as is clear now.
Graham: Greatness is laying down an ambush on that increasingly chaotic fight at the grocery store. We've got almost have our warriors in one place there.
Van: But with all the cover inside and around the store, will they be able to land a javelin strike from the cover of darkness?
Graham: Meanwhile, Salsacookies is trying to throw down on Tiny Chuck, but their newly made hammer is just too much. They may have been better off leaving the weights on both ends.
Van: Yeah, keeping things balanced might have made it easier to strike, as all you would have to do is spin. Still, I think that barbell is within their limits.
Graham: Now let's talk about our outliers. Elephant Parade has found treatment, but the populace doesn't seem happy about that.
Van: Twinwolf continues to evade detection as a warrior. Was all this time worth it for some information and a lighter? Who knows what they're planning.
Graham: Finally, ATH continues to go the empathetic route. They have no reason to help the driver, but here we are. Where is High tyrol? We can only assume she's still caught up in the traffic this accident caused.
Van: Doesn't look like there's much to update when it comes to the town. So, with that, we conclude this broadcast. We'll see you next time, on Wiki Warfare Report.

Round 30: Grocery Gangfight Pt. 2, Dire Straits
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
Hawk pops out of cover and continues to empty out his pistol on Hawk's Assault Squad. (1 vs. 5) He continues to destroy the scenery while shooting in the direction of either man and failing to hit them, putting a hole in a can of beans and then perforating a melon with his successive failed shots. (4 vs. 1) The assault team retaliates and a rifle bullet tears into Hawk's ear and sends him to the ground.
Execute/Dumbo.exe shakes off as much moisture as he can, which is quite a lot considering how much of it was absorbed by his now damp heavy royal robes and wing feathers. (6) His trek back is quite uneventful, the only exciting part coming when he nearly trips over some vines as he does his best to navigate the thick foliage and flora of the Aztec jungle. A couple hours later, he arrives on the outskirt of the bustling central city where he had originally departed from. The wooden gate is immediately opened while the guards bow to him on one knee.
Greatness stays in waiting at the top of the grocery store, one hand tight around the shaft of a Javelin, ready to pounce at a moments notice if anyone tried to exit the building. At the current time, everyone was staying inside, but he was prepared to send a spear through the top of someone's skull as soon as he saw them.
Ukrainian Ranger launches another kick at Nunzillor, (9+2 vs. 5) aiming at the rifle this time. The kick comes from underneath and hits it directly in the center, sending it flying upwards from Nun's hands. The force is enough to propel the gun into the soft, Styrofoam roof and break through the material, resulting in it now being half-stuck in the pliable substance. (To visualize this, imagine a thumbtack penetrating Styrofoam, and now replace that thumbtack with the gun, its barrel being the stuck 'sharp' part.) The gun is now much too high up for someone to simply jump up and grab it. Ranger isn't done, and follow's this up with a single punch, (2+3 vs. 7) giving Nunzillor the chance to prove that she's no chump when it comes to close-combat. Nunzillor blocks the hook aimed at her head and shoves Ranger away to prevent another quick attack from commencing. (3 vs. 1) Nunzillor further sends UR back with a quick left jab to the nose, sending its recipient backwards a couple steps.
Elephant Parade offers his horse up as a means of transportation to the emergency relief effort, provided they return it once the evacuation is done; his offer is immediately accepted and his horse is led away, to be treated and then subsequently used for a good purpose. Elephant's latest experiences inspire him to compose a song which he entitles, "Shot Someone in the Head with a Musket In 2016." (6+2) He tests it out on a few evacuees waiting for their turn to head out and he is given a positive reception. The common critiques are that he's a little pitchy and it could use instrumentation.
"No sir, is there anything that you need my help with chap?" The emergency responder is a bit confused by Abstract calling him both a 'sir' and a 'chap, but quickly gets over it. "We can take it from here, but if you aren't doing anything and want to help out, why don't you volunteer for the Denmark Evacuation Effort? It looks like you have a car and they need all the help they can get."
Nunzillor chastises her Assault Team while maintaining a fighting stance and keeping her eyes on Ukrainian Ranger. "I'm fine, but identify your targets before you fire!" Nunzillor had just lost her rifle, so it would have to come down to Plan B, which was activated by drawing her Katana from its sheathe on her hip. (2 vs. 5+2) Nunzillor rushes forward and slashes with the blade, yet Ukrainian is able to weave under the blade and escape it; it seems like she's had experienced in this type of combat before. (10+2 vs. 3) Ukrainian performs a spinning jump kick that connects with the side of Nunzillor's head. The initial hit to the head did a moderate amount of damage, but the true impact came from the kinetic energy that sent Nunzillor's whole body flying into the corner of the counter. Nunzillor hits the counter full-force neck force, causing the right side of her neck to be deeply impaled on the sharp corner. Nunzillor wounds sprays blood all over the counter and floor as if half of her entire neck had been slit by a Bowie knife.
The Assault Team was too occupied to notice that their leader had recently become physically attached to the other end of the counter, a good ten feet away from them. After hitting Hawk once, the two militia pointed their guns over the side of the counter, trying to hit him before he could fire back. (9 vs. 2) Hawk attempts to multitask, shooting with one hand and trying to eat lettuce with the other. This would spell disaster for him, as he doesn't have enough time to do either with his attention divided. For all of his efforts, he is rewarded with two shots in the chest, pinning him to the ground. His body trembles as it takes the force of the bullets, almost like they were bouncing him off of the floor, blood spurting from his mouth; this causes him to drop the lettuce as well.
Mobile Team received new orders from Nunzillor right before she engaged in one-on-one combat with UR. The snowmobile stops and turns around, zooming towards the small hill which Tiny Chuck had identified his location as. "Chuck what is your status?" "Ah!-What the-woah! Come help me goddammit!" The snowmobile riders spot the conflict at the top of the hill, which was Chuck dodging some sort of huge bludgeon being wielded by a giant man. In this situation, using the Grenade Launcher would endanger Chuck, so the Mobile Team props the LMG on the seat of the snowmobile, one man aiming and firing while another one held the ammo and keeping it steady. (5 vs. 10) The bullets are inaccurate, especially since the gun has to be fired at an upwards angle, and the unidentified enemy could not care less that a machine gun was firing at him.
With bullets whizzing around him, Salsacookies lowers the Barbell Hammer for a moment to charge at Tiny Chuck shoulder-first. (8+2 vs. 6) Chuck does not see this coming and allows Salsacookies shoulder to hit him right in the shoulder plexus. Salsacookies takes Chuck down, completely winded from the surprise tackle. (4 vs. 5-2) Salsacookies raises up the mighty hammer, eliciting panic in Chuck, which gives him enough energy to scurry away on his back. He most of his body out of the way before the hammer comes down, but it still lands on his right foot, fracturing numerous bones inside of it. Chuck lets out a mighty yell of pain that echoes to the bottom of the hill. One of the Mobile Team members stops shooting his gun for a moment, "Uh oh. That ain't good."
(7 vs. 1) Chuck, without many options left, goes for a forbidden technique and kicks Salsacookies between the legs. Salsacookies makes a noise that no man of his size should be able to make and falls downwards, clutching the effect area and dropping his Barbell Hammer, letting it roll down the hill away from him. This allows Chuck enough time to stand up, grab his rifle and hobble away.
(2) At the bottom of the hill, one Mobile Member points to a metallic object coming tumbling down the hill at high speed. He points at it, "Hey, do you see that?" His partner squints his eyes, "What are you-, oh yeah, I see it. Boy, that's coming fast, ain't it?" The Barbell Hammer launches off of a naturally created ramp in the hill and barrels at the mobile team. The unweighted end hits one of the Mobile militia in the head, knocking him out instantly, he is the lucky one. The weighted end hits the LMG, reducing it into a chunk of metal, which absorbs the force of the hammer and is sent at the man standing right behind it, flying into his face. The effect is similar to tapping a grape with a sledgehammer.

I might have woken up my flatmates with my confused laughter.
-
I climb down the roof, still sneaking, and go inside, hiding somewhere they can't find me (no idea if there's aisles or not). I wait for one of the Assault Team to make his way to Nunzillor, where I'll burst out, and attempt a Stealth Takedown. If that succeeds, I'll take the dude's Rifle (EDIT: and Radio, if he has one) and strap them to my back, before going back into hiding.
There are no words to the amount of things going on, just...wow. :o
-
Enter, and meet up with the leader.
"Hail, I have come bearing good news, I have destroyed one of their floating houses, even if the leader wasn't on it, the ensuing confusion ought to buy us some time while they try to find some nonexistent traitor, how are your soldiers going with the weapon training?"
-
((Hah! Well, looks like that's it. I am not good at these!))
Gurgle. Attempt to somehow attack UR with my katana.
-
((Hah! Well, looks like that's it. I am not good at these!))
I say you did fine. The only mistakes I would point to are going up against a Kung-fu master in a tight space and putting a little too much face in amateur revolutionaries. And a large part of it is the nature of the game, if one roll had gone differently Ranger could have easily been the one spilling her insides everywhere.
-
"Pain, pain, pain!"
Veggies, now.
-
The anger of The Brazen Bull wells up within me. "Fine, if you want to leave, I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY!"
Pick up Tiny Chuck, and throw him off the slope

Show militia why they should have stayed outside and attack them with kung fu trying to neutralize both of them.

Round 31: Ascension
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Morning
"Pain, pain, pain!" Hawk, bleeding out all over the place, makes a desperate attempt to grab up some precious vegetables before he is shot again. (4 vs. 8) He rolls over to lay on his stomach as he sprint-crawls towards a pile of beets, but the Assault Squad has continued to train their guns on him the whole time. (2 vs. 10) They shoot wildly into the dark area below the counter, and all Hawk has to do is stay prone to avoid the stream of bullets that land at least a foot away from him, mostly hitting the wall; one of the bullets ricochets off of the wall (7) and flies into the space between the militia, failing to hit either of them. (7) Hawk makes it to one of his precious bags of veggies and almost swallows about two-thirds of the entire bag, greatly reducing the damage done to him. [Extreme Bleeding -> Light Bleeding]
Elephant Parade searches for treatment as his horse is led away. After consulting with a volunteer medic, he is put in a queue behind people with more severe injuries such as organ failure and missing limbs. Elephant utilizes this time to continue working on his next hit single, (6+2) and adds some lyrics while removing some of the higher notes that he doesn't have to attempt something out of his normal range. He is still lacking in instrumentation.
Nunzillor places two hands on the counter and pushes her neck off of it, leaving a trail of blood and other miscellaneous liquids and semi-solids streaming down the side of it. Any attempt for her to cover and pressurize the wound risks her tearing the few fibers that are keeping her head attached as a result of the grievous damage, a quick turn of the head would mean instant death. Nunzillor, realizing her fate, raises her Katana up and charges Ukrainian Ranger with a mighty warrior's cry, no longer concerned for her own safety as long as she gets one final hit on the Kung-Fu saleswoman.
(7 vs. 5+2) Ukrainian, focused on the Assault Team, fails to see Nunzillor coming until the final moments and instinctively reacts, drawing her head back and dodging the blade by about a half-inch, the steel flashing before her eyes. (2+2 vs. 9) Ukrainian comes in for a strike but Nun smacks her in the face with the dull part of the sword, knocking her away. Refusing to let Ranger get the final blow, Nunzillor put the Katana up to her neck, "Shi ima, eikō eien ni." With one swing, Nunzillor finishes what Ukrainian started. Her body topples onto the ground as her head rolls away from it.
Ukrainian Ranger forced Nunzillor to commit Seppuku!
+Article: Joseph Mössmer: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_M%C3%B6ssmer) +2 Neoclassical Painting & Instruction
Abstract decides to put his efforts into volunteering for the Denmark Relief Effort, but before he leaves the city he heads to one of the few remaining payphones to give Autumn a call if she'd like to come along, putting in some of his precious remaining money into the machine. (10) Abstract calls Autumn and gives a tearful soliloquy on how he's faced great hardships in his life and all he wants to do is help people, and how he'll prove it to her if she gives him another chance by coming down to Denmark. She not only gives him a second chance, his vulnerable yet eloquent speech really swayed her. Parking outside Autumn's apartment, the barista exits and gets in the passenger's seat, saying she wants to help and gives Abstract a kiss. [Autumn is smitten!] As the two of them catch up on the drive to Denmark, they find a great deal of traffic blocking their progress. "Ugh...great...wait, what the hell-?" It appears that a large factor to this slowdown is a plane driving down the highway, causing a lot of blockage. Abstract freezes up when he sees the woman driving the plane; it's a Wiki-Warrior. Autumn is confused, "Do you know her?"
Salsacookies slowly stands up, his legs still trembling. The low blow landed on him has awakened some sort of bestial power deep within his soul, "Fine, if you want to leave, I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY!" (5-2 vs. 1) Salsacookies bull-rushes Chuck, who is stunned by the sheer speed and furiousosity that Salsa is coming onto him with, which makes it easy for the bodybuilder to wrap his hands around Chuck; while Tiny Chuck's name is supposed to be ironic, Salsacookies turns it from a joke into a fitting title. (9+2) Salsacookies hoists the militant above him and throws him over the edge, his body tumbling through the air until it hits the asphalt which lays about forty feet below. Salsacookies makes his way down the hill after hearing the satisfying splatter of Chuck and retrieves his Barbell Hammer. At the bottom, he comes across a peculiar sight, a snowmobile, an unconscious man with a Grenade Launcher and pieces of metal embedded in what might have been a person at some point.
High tyrol begins to get fed up with the traffic which she felt war worse here than even back in New York City. She presses onward but finds there someone stopping her way; a single car is still in the middle of an intersection, refusing to yield even to her mighty biplane. The car is an outdated model and the driver is wearing a WWI uniform, so High concludes she's dealing with either a crazy person or a fellow contestant, each of which would be incredibly dangerous.
Ukrainian Ranger turns to face Nunzillor after being sword slapped, but the rebel leader has already cut herself down. Thus, Ranger turns to the Assault Militia who are attempting to murder her lone ally. (3+2 vs. 8) Ranger runs up behind one of the militia with a flying knee attack, but he leaps out of the way and Ranger ends up sailing through the air and landing on top of the counter. (1 vs. 5) The other militia moves back and takes cover in one of the aisles, shooting at Ukrainian as he retreats but failing to do anything besides waste more ammunition.
Greatness waits for anyone to enter the grocery store, but there's a noticeable lack of action on the outside while gun shots and yells continue to come from within. He climbs back down from the roof and goes through the front door, ducking down and trying to stealth around the fighting while everyone else is still distracted. (4) Initially, Greatness is not seen as he turns into the aisles and stays away from the main combat. He sneaks down the Pet Food/Cleaning Supplies aisle, Katana drawn, when the militia fleeing from Ukrainian runs down the aisle and runs into him, face-to-face. Both fighters stare at each other for about a tenth of a second before trying to gain the initiative, (6 vs. 5). The Assault soldier's rifle is pointed at Greatness's torso just a second too late as Greatness has already lunged at him with his blade. (1+3 vs. 10) The militia backflips away from the attack and a dumbstruck Greatness ends up stabbing into a big of dog food, spilling kibble all over the floor. (1 vs. 6) The militia lands on his feet, and fires at Greatness, missing him but destroying even more pet chow, and running out of ammunition in the process as his empty gun makes that signature 'out of ammunition' clink.
Elephant Parade enters the city and marches back to the royal pyramid, his wings now having dried off and are fully out on display. Each person he passes immediately stops what they are doing to fall on their knees for him and bow their head. He comes to the altar plaza at the top of the pyramid, where all the nobles and soldiers inside greet him similarly, except for the Emperor who does not fall on one knee or get up from his throne, but similarly bows. "Hail, I have come bearing good news, I have destroyed one of their floating houses, even if the leader wasn't on it, the ensuing confusion ought to buy us some time while they try to find some nonexistent traitor, how are your soldiers going with the weapon training?" The Emperor picks up his head, "This is excellent news, Disciple of Quetzalcoatl. The ensuing panic may make them consider fleeing back to the realm they sprung from." (2+1[Servant Assistance]) The reports of the weapon training is disappointing, "These new weapons are fascinating and your servant is quite skilled with them, yet we find them impractical; if they are exposed to even a little water or dirt, they become inoperable, and our soldiers can fire five arrows or throw three javelins in the time it takes to fire a single shot and reload. As for your servant himself, since he is our closest communication to you while you are away, we have promoted him to the Rank of High Priest in our society."
The Emperor motions to his own servants who place some substance in the nearby torches that turn them from a mundane red to a brilliant glowing green. The Emperor ominously stands, "Our time of vengeance is at hand. I am prepared to serve you directly, and by association, I will do as you say with all of my power, and let you guide me in commanding my empire, Holy One. But to lead my people, you must have a name that speaks to the soul of our people. What do you choose?"
[+Vassal: Aztec Empire]
[Choose a God Name - Will be translated into Aztec.]
From the horizon comes forth an older man, with a parted grey hairstyle and a professional trimmed mustache, his WWI Uniform (a common fashion among contestants) adorned with all sorts of medals and stripes, indicating his high prestige and experience. He is accompanied by a serious looking black soldier many years his junior, scanning his surroundings from the sights of a Springfield Rifle. The two of them travel in a vehicle, one that lacks windows or doors or seats, in fact, it appears to have nothing on it besides a giant saddle, a steering wheel and a few wheels below; perhaps it's some sort of minimalist experimental device? Or maybe a fantastical beast that no mortal has yet seen? As it comes closer it can clearly be identified as...oh.

...Huh, didn't expect that.
"Hey! You two, the ones that aren't shooting at me. We could work together, to finish our goals!"
Attempt to form a truce/team with U.R. and Hawk with that quote, before sliding my sword out of the kibble, and charging at the Militia soldier while he's reloading, giving him no time to do so as I attempt to stab and slash him to death.
EDIT: H-h-holy CRAP! That's a lot of soldiers, Execute.
EDIT2: Edited my action after I re-read the turn, and found the Militia Assaulter has no ammo.
-
ask the crazy man politely to move
-
(I have no words. No wait I've got something. I love it. I'll try and get another AAR up soon, but no guarantees. I was almost done with it when you posted the next turn. Now, how to go about this...)
"It seems we've finally made it to the battlegrounds. I must say, I was skeptical at first when you acquired this vehicle, but it has been growing on me. That's figuratively and literally by the way. I think we've grown an inch or two since started this trip. What do you say we have a look about town?"
Scout out the town. Search for any larger conflicts.
(I'm going to put a bit more effort into the role playing thing this time.)
Edit: Hold on a second, maybe I should reread that turn more carefully...
320,000 Aztec Soldiers
Well uh. That's certainly a thing that just happened.

ask the crazy man politely to move
Um....but I kinda need to get through to help the citzens of Denmark so can you try and move your plane?

if he leaves the intersection politely saye thank you for getting out of my way and. Continue to the airport.

It may look daunting, but it's not like one good slash or bullet would end his regime. Look at Nunzillor, she had a whole squad worth of people and in the end it took one good kick to the head.

(The weight will hold it there fairly steady I assume. Other than that, I'm not sure how else to set it up.)
The problem comes from most modern snowmobiles having narrow bodies in addition to fronts that slope. (https://www.google.com/search?q=snowmobile&hl=en-US&source=lnms&prmd=sivn&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEh8WMtZbLAhWBdR4KHeM8CdcQ_AUICCgC&biw=320&bih=496&dpr=1.5#imgrc=C0iMghYmzPNcHM%3A)

Van: We've got another two part special here, but let's explain what we do here first.
Graham: This is the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: The only place to get updated on the only sport worth watching.
Graham: Individual analysis of every combatant, examination of their tactics, and live updates on the state of the arena.
Van: Its all right here, on WWR.
Graham: We'd like to thank our viewers, but there's something I'd like to say before we begin.
Van: Oh, what's that?
Graham: Although just knowing people are here watching with us is nice, it would be good to have some critique. After the show, feel free to take some time and tell us how we can make Wikipedia Warfare Report even better. Thanks. Van, let's get down to business.
Van: I thought you'd never ask.
Graham: Well, the action has been moving a lot quicker as of late, hasn't it.
Van: Yes, it really has. These warriors have certainly managed a lot in so little time.
Graham: First things first, let's take a look at that grocery gang fight that's broken out. Hawk, Ukranian, and Nunzillor are deep in the action along with Nunzillor's assault team. Greatness is waiting diligently in the shadows outside the store for a chance to strike, but their fellow warriors just won't leave the store. Hawk takes hit after hit, crawling from cover to cover and eating enough vegetables during combat to make an Elder Scrolls protagonist jealous.
Van: Ukranian and Nunzillor engage in melee combat. Nunzillor holds their own for awhile, but then they lose their gun, and it all goes down hill. Ukranians skill is enough to take down Nunzillor, tearing open her neck with a vicious strike. Things look bleak for Nunzillor, and Hawk's attempts at retaliation do him no good.
Graham: Amazingly, Nunzillor still gets back up, going for one last attack. Ukranian barely avoids it, but the attempt is to be applauded. Dismayed at their failure, Nunzillor finishes herself off. Ukranian Ranger has had another kill added to her score. The rebellion members continue to be torn apart like red shirts, and it looks like they graduated from the storm trooper marksmanship academy as well. Nunzillor's efforts in the Wikipedia Wars were valiant, but luck just wasn't on their side.
Van: Speaking of those rebellion members, Salsacookies has not only taken out their other leader known as "Tiny Chuck", but a couple of the explosive team members in a impressive physical display. Only time will tell what they do next. They're eyeing that snowmobile in a way that intrigues me though.
Graham: Oh, and it looks like Greatness has started fighting a resistance member too. Things seem on an even footing, but the samurai probably has this in the bag.
Van: Agreed. But it is not just the resistance member he has to deal with in that area. Our favorite Hawk/Ukranian duo could be a problem for them.
Graham: Elephant Parade continues the slow process of healing. There's not much else to say there. Twinwolf has also not made much progress as of late.
Van: Abstract finally gets into gear, joining the relief efforts and finally earning the love of another. High tyrol might just bring those efforts down again though. Will ATH's spirits hold them through this?
Graham: High tyrol doesn't look pleased with the ad hoc blockade that has been created, so we'll probably be seeing conflict soon, and on such a busy road too.
Van: This looks like a tragic story in the making, but we can't call things quite yet.
Graham: Finally the moment we've all been waiting for. We've saved the best of our combatants for last.
Van: Gee, I wonder who that could be.
Graham: Execute has proved their abilities, and now wields the might of an army over 300,000 strong. They've even essentially ascended to godhood in the Atzec's culture. Our other warriors might be well advised to leave the area if they could hear us. Only a concentrated attack on Execute themself would potentially win a battle against them.
Van: As much as I love saying that anything could happen, there's not much that could defeat an army of that size. Even if their technology is lacking, 300,000 is a formidable number. Of course, they'll still need to transport all of those troops, and keep them supplied and motivated. Being a leader is rarely an easy business on that scale. But, let's talk about our newest Warrior instead, to avoid all of this doom and gloom.
Graham: Let's see here. Uh, they seem to be just marked down as "Dad." Some kind of nick name? Eh, we've had weirder. They seem familiar though... Well, in terms of equipment alone, they've got gear all around. It may be from world war 1, but the m1911 is a staple even in the time this war takes place. The armor is more significant, and should do them well. Their skills are also well suited for this conflict.
Van: The fact that they have a follower on their side is also a great boon. But let's stop messing around and mention the elephant in the room. They rode in on a giant potato.
Graham: That... I'm not even sure how that works. Are you sure we're seeing this right? I said we've had weirder warriors, but this is pretty far up there! How does that even work?
Van: Good to see even you aren't immune to this craziness. I was starting to get worried. But in all seriousness, I have no idea. That's everyone covered right.
Graham: Yeah, it is. There doesn't seem much to talk about arena wise.
Van: Well, it has been morning for awhile. That might change things.
Graham: Ah right. The snow hasn't gone down much though, and that's probably more of a problem.
Van: If you say so. Anyway, we'll see you next time on WWR!
Graham: What!? You can't just cut it like th-
*We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by.*
I'm no expert on this Execute, but they said the name will be translated, so that implies a new name. Still, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with choosing an existing name, other than the chance of it being blasphemy to them. They could also simply see it as you being that god's avatar. So I guess it could go either way. I suppose you could just use your forum name "Execute" as your god name. :P You can't go wrong there.
By the way, not that I'm not thankful for having a vehicle, but why did you give me the spudmobile? That was just inspired. Sure, the town is famous for potatoes, I get that. I just don't understand how you got "Make a car out of/into a potato" out of that?
-
((*Looks up Aztec gods*
Wow, there are a bunch of them, in fact, way too many, do I have to make up an original god name or can I take one from the existing gods?))
Do as you wish. You can take an old name, but you might want to stick a 'The Second', 'The Resurrection', etc., so people can easily tell the difference in conversation. Alternatively, just take some English and translate it.
Ha! It is complete!

Great AAR as usual. And when I finally got an Article city with some sort of interesting feature, (99% of locations Articles I roll are tiny villages in Kazakhstan or Bangladesh with about 3 sentences worth of information) I knew I had to include it. I couldn't think of anyway to make it have an effect though, beyond giving you a giant dormant potato, which wouldn't make things much more interesting. The inherent problem was its size, so if I spawned a single giant potato it would sit there and do nothing. (You might argue that Twinwolf's Kartouwe Cannon is also a big pile of uselessness, but if he ever got enough people to use it, it has the potential to level entire buildings.) Then I recalled that you had a bonus to riding horses, since that WWI Major General was in the cavalry for many years, so I thought why not let him ride a potato like in the days of his youth? Note: Horseback Riding bonus not applied to Giant Potato Riding because the Mobile Gargantuan Potato is mechanical as opposed to a horse, so it's more like driving a minimalist motorized vehicle.

((Sweet.))
The (Now true) god draws himself up to hid full height, wings spread in an intimidating display of power, and speaks, "My name is Spirit Of Force, and I shall help propell this place to new heights!
Get all your combat capable forces ready and set your artists on the job of creating an artwork of..." Give him a description of the enemy camp, be as specific as possible, and send him out to give those instructions to the artists, "we shall head out as soon as possible, come to me when you are ready, I shall be speaking with the new high priest."
Go and speak to Yuri in private, apologise for all the insane developments that have been occuring and show that I'm still as I always was, then start planning to send him in to infiltrate the camp, with all the confusion, it should make it easy for him to sneak in.
((Look, guys, don't worry about being killed by me or my minions, I'm just kinda doing this stuff by the seat of my pants and have no idea how to work this shit.))

Well, that explains things. I'd like to know how fast or maneuverable my the spud-mobile (because I'll never stop calling it that) is. Or rather, how fast and maneuverable it isn't. I don't expect much in terms of durability, but those two things would be nice to know. Can it at least outrun the average person, or is it a glorified parade float? I'd worry about fuel but that's abstracted away, so I doubt any vehicle will ever run out of it. Well, other than vehicles known for such things, of course.
I wasn't really specific about how I was scouting the town, but I'm doing it on board my vehicle. You'd probably assume as such, but I'm just making sure.

The potato has a top speed of approximately 35 MPH, with its normal speed going about 20-25, so it can beat out a person in a race but not by that much and it doesn't hold a candle to any automobile made after the 1920's. It's maneuverability is also quite poor and requires a large amount of space to turn.
Fuel and ammo supplies are abstracted, to a certain point. I don't really keep track of them, but there is a limit to how much everyone has, it doesn't come up until you start running out, which I'll notify you of. Usually these resources are expended on such a small scale that I don't have to track things, but if you're driving across entire states or constantly firing your gun, you will run out eventually.

Round 32: Triple-Alliance
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snowing (12.5 inches)
Time: Dawn
"It seems we've finally made it to the battlegrounds. I must say, I was skeptical at first when you acquired this vehicle, but it has been growing on me. That's figuratively and literally by the way. I think we've grown an inch or two since started this trip. What do you say we have a look about town?" Person commemorates his subordinate and asks of his opinion. "I say that's a fine idea sir," the private replies, without breaking his constant scanning of the perimeter down the iron sights of his rifle. "I would keep my guard, you know what sort of mess we've come into." (7) The city is suspiciously quiet while the potato sputters down the road, the trip delayed by the occasional wreckage left in the streets. As the soldier delves further in, Person spots another vehicle heading in this direction, this one traveling on the snow and equipped with lights; with its sleek design, he deduces it has to be some sort of snow-traversing vehicle with a single driver.
High tyrol tries her hand at diplomacy by shaking her fist out the window of her plane and screaming at Abstract, "MOVE!" Abstract lowers his own window to reply, "Um....but I kinda need to get through to help the citzens of Denmark so can you try and move your plane?" The pouty Tyrol furrows her brow and sits her butt back down in the driver's seat, hands clutching the mechanisms for the machine guns. The Biplane rotates to fully face Abstract's car, prompting Autumn to ask, "Uh, what's she doing?" Abstract silently answers the question by making a quick U-Turn. (4+2) Abstract avoid nearly turning into the other surrounding cars as he rushes away, telling Autumn to call the police. "THANK YOU!" Tyrol yells as her rival flees into the night. Autumn speaks to the police as Abstract heads back into Green Bay, "They say that she didn't do anything illegal..."
With no obstacles left in her path, Tyrol finally makes to the Dalls Auckburn International Airport.
As Greatness and the militia both recover from their past failed attacks, the Samurai takes the opportunity to talk to the other Wiki-Warriors, ""Hey! You two, the ones that aren't shooting at me. We could work together, to finish our goals!" He pulls his sword out of the bag of dog food and charges the militia before he can finish reloading. (9+3 vs. 8) Greatness swings his sword and the militia attempts to back up, which nets him a deep wound as the blade cuts into his right thigh. He forward, dropping his gun in the process, giving Greatness another opportunity. (2+3 vs. 10-2) Greatness points his blade downward and thrusts, but the militia lunges forward and the sword embeds itself into the ground. The Assault Squad member grabs his fallen and reloaded gun, flipping onto his back and shooting at Greatness. (8 vs. 10) Greatness ducks as bullets pierce the ceiling and the lights above him, his Samurai armor shielding him from falling broken glass.
Ukrainian calls out from her cover, "You're leader is dead and we outnumber you! If you want to stand a real chance, you'll come fight with us!" Hawk stands up and uses his political expertise to aid Ukrainian's effort, "We've got a department store manager/kung-fu master, an influential politician and now a Samurai warrior! With your help, we can all be unstoppable. (5+2[Hawk Assist] vs. 8) The militia at the front of the grocery store lowers his gun. "Well, you do have a point. The three of you do seem like-" He is cut off as the sound of his companion being attacked fills the area, followed by a burst of gunfire, "-like a bunch of lying fuckers!" He raises his gun again, and Hawk trains his gun on him, prepared for this outcome. (9 vs. 7) Hawk fires a single bullet that strikes the nearest militia in the ankle, resulting in him stumbling to the ground.
Greatness continues to fight in the aisle, rushing the militia before he has a chance to recenter his gun on the Japanese warrior. (4+3 vs. 6-2) He jams his Katana into the prone man's gut, cutting him down further. Despite this, he keeps a weak grip on his gun, "Aren't you going to die?!" asks an impatient Greatness.
Despite all of them being engaged in simultaneous combat, Ukrainian Ranger & Hawk manage to expand their alliance to include Greatness.
Salsacookies chucks the unconscious man off of his newly acquired snowmobile, stuffing the Grenade Launcher into a bag attached to the back of the vehicle while getting on and revving the engine. (+Snowmobile, Grenade Launcher) He drives back into the heart of Denmark, and his light flashes upon someone else driving in his direction. He sees two guys on some sort of...horse? Wagon? He can't tell at this distance, but there are definitely two people coming towards him on some sort of ride.
Elephant Parade waits until his treatment is ready but immersing himself in his next hit single. When he is finally called, he is led into a tent where the bullet in his foot is extracted and the wound is cleaned and sealed. [Left Foot Healed] One of the nurses working on him comments, "It's nice that you sing for all of these people, to give them something to take their minds off of what happened you know? I believe it to be a real, blessed service." He pauses for a minute and rubs his beard contemplatively, "Say, have you ever sung in a Church? Our choir is looking for a new member."
When Execute chooses his title, spreading his wings fully to show his authority, the Emperor solemnly nods. He dips his fingers into a cup of purple liquid next to him, using those same fingers to mark Execute, giving him a thick horizontal purple line on both cheeks, three vertical lines on his forehead and one large circle on his chin. "You are now titled the Most Holy Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal. May we be guided in your infinite wisdom." He, and the rest of the congregation, all bow to Execute. "What are your orders?" Execute commands that all the combat forces that the Emperor can immediately call on should all gather while the greatest artists in the empire recreate a grand map of the camp as per his description; this should all go down while Execute confers with the High Priest. Execute exits and takes off in flight, arriving at the Grand Temple. Making his way inside the structure, the various priests drop to their knees as Execute rushes past them, finding Yuri in his private chambers, mediating. When Execute enters, Yuri's eyes open wide and he drops to his knees, "Your excellency, how you bless a humble, undeserving soul like-"
Execute runs up to the Boyar, pulling up by his shoulders so the two face each other. "No Yuri! It is just me, Execute. Beneath the paint and the wings I am the man you always knew, I have not changed! Do not treat me like your master!"
Yuri stammers, "But s-sir, even before this you were my master and I your servant."
"...Oh." Execute lets go of Yuri and sits down. "But haven't we always been more than that? Helping each other out, speaking with each other, journeying across strange lands together?" Execute leans in close, "Listen, it isn't every day that a Russian Noble and his servant become a God of War and a High Priest respectively, but whatever their situation is, they can still be friends at the end of the day, understand?"
Yuri stands. "...Yes, I understand...Prince Execute."
After this closure is made, a General runs into the room, "Pardon me for intruding High Priest, but the Emperor wanted me to speak to Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal as quickly as possible! He says that all forces in Tenochtitlan have formed at the edge of the city and are ready for the final battle against the invaders! Additionally, our empire's greatest artists have produced this!" He pulls out a piece of parchment and unravels it; (4+2[Master Artists]) The map lacks various details of the enemy camp, but it gets the general layout correct, and Execute could not have expected much better on such short notice.
Breaking News: Highway Standoff! - Reports are coming in , a group of armed men were stopped on Interstate 43 by a single police car. After an argument arose about the legality of their firearms, a shootout broke out that left one officer dead and one seriously wounded while all shooters escaped. Authorities are warning citizens in the area to be on the lookout for a group of 4-6 men skiing and holding rifles, considering them all to be highly dangerous. Authorities also ask for any information on this group of criminals to be called into the police.
Dawn begins to break over Wisconsin. Perception penalties have ended.

Proposal for a new mechanic to excite the audience while opening up more options for contestants to get ahead: Quests.
Quests would be optional tasks that appear spontaneously, that upon completion would gain the player Points, Points effectively being Kills that do not require PvP (so they increase a player's total score and grant them an Article(s) as well. Quests could include things like:
*Defeating a powerful NPC.
*Finding a hidden artifact.
*Holding onto a certain item for (X) amount of turns.
And so on. The Difficulty/Danger inherent in a Quest being reflected in its point value, with most of the common ones being worth 1 Point while the most treacherous could net you up to 3 points, maybe 4, but that would be pushing it.
Thoughts?
-
Just drive into the town of Denmark after the crazy person has left.
-
"This is rather eerie isn't it? The town feels almost dead."
"Hm? Is someone else out on the streets at this time? A relief worker perhaps? No. This may be one of our enemies. Stay alert."
Hail my fellow traveler. Try to avoid any potential attacks. Be prepared to retaliate if need be.
This is said as we approach each other: "Good morning to you! Are you part of the relief?"
OOC: Quests do sound interesting. It would certainly give players another thing to do besides wantonly murder each other, even if that is the point of the game. I imagine Execute's campaign (for lack of a better word) would have a quest (or quests) involved in it, right? I'm not opposed to the idea at any rate. It might just offer a way for less fortunate players to advance. Sort of like the alternative victory conditions in a Civilization game. The main downside I suppose, is that frequency of player death might go down some. Really, what matters most to me is whether or not it'll hurt your ability to update. Anyway, would you be opposed to an alliance with me Salsacookies?
-
((I like the idea of quests, for sure.))
Politely decline. Ask someone in-the-know where the refugees are heading to—I need to know where to pick my horse up from, later.

Quests incorporate themselves into the game quite easily, so it would not alter my frequency at all. I would also design them in way to actually encourage violence rather than decrease it, and there would always be a risk involved, which is why they are optional. Quest Bosses would all be dangerous, a good way to stop someone from going after the same Quest Treasure as you would be to kill them, and the basis for the Hold onto the Artifact Quests is that once you have the artifact, you'll have a lot of other people who want to take it from you before you can complete the time limit. You also get a nice little reward at the end of Quests in addition to Points, like you get to keep the Artifact or Treasure for yourself.
-
That's good to hear. I think I kind of understand what you're getting at? Will these quests/artifacts be based on articles just like anything else, even if it isn't all of the time? Also, what exactly do you mean by powerful NPC? Also also what would artifacts do, other than "almost anything"? This might be better suited for a different game, not that it wouldn't work here as well. Then again, quests probably won't be a common thing, so I'm probably worrying about nothing.

I was thinking of actually making these deliberate of my own choosing, would that be too much of a violation of the "Everything is Random" Theme? And yes, there would be the occasional quest or two on the side, but the majority of the game would still be this. Maybe if nothing was really going on during the game it would prompt me to insert a Quest to liven things up a little.
-
(Writing this on mobile, so... Also, the idea of a quest system could be fun if it doesn't distract from the action, so having one on the side would do that.)
Go ahead and finish this Milita Assault off, but then attempt to get the other guy on our side by saying this:
"I apologize for your friend, he attacked me, however, and I was unaware of my new allies' use of diplomacy. If you could maybe stop shooting, weigh your options, and join us? It would benefit us all.
-
Aye, a quest system sounds fun as long as it doesn't take away from the deathmatch. It would suit the game especially well if the quests and rewards are generated by random article.
-
I like the idea of a quest system.
Do I get, like, 5 articles after my campaign?
"Hrmmm.
Good enough, hopefully this will work correctly, no time to waste now."
to the front of the assembled warriors, Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal speaks in a booming voice, reaching to the corners of the village, "WE HAVE ASSEMBLED HERE TODAY FOR WAR, THIS TRIBE HAS LIVED HERE FOR TIMES UNCOUNTABLE AND YET THESE FALSE WHITE SPIRITS HAVE COME TO TAKE THIS LAND AWAY FROM US! WELL, I SAY WE SHALL NOT LET THEM! THEY SHALL BLEED FOR THEIR CRIMES AND WE SHALL BE THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE TO MAKE THEM! WE SHALL NOT FALL TO THESE INVADERS, WE SHALL NEVER FALL!"
Try and get their morale up with this rousing speech, then hold up the piece of art in front of me and open the portal, try thinking about the camp in the process, if it works, send the majority of the soldiers through, and send a secondary group through the jungle, to try and catch any stragglers, then grab Yuri, and fly him into the back of the soldiers forces, get him to start secretly killing any soldiers he can in the panic, hopefully, that'll worsen the enemy forces.
If the portal doesn't work, do the same thing, just through the jungle.
-
Now here's the real question. Is that painting going to be correct enough that they'll be transported back to the camp you saw? Or are you going to go to a similar version of the camp, resulting in another painting layer? Painting-ception. (Horn) Also don't answer that. Rhetorical question.
-
Drive off to the side, to not be in its way
(Quests sounds good)
-
Quests do sound interesting.
Well, we gave them a chance to join. Kill'em.
-
Wait untill the militiaman start firing at someone else, then charge at him
-
attempt to sell my air plane to the airport and try to buy a helicopter also fill up my car with fuel(race cars use jet fuel I think.)
Quest sons good to me.
-
I think quests are nifty way of bringing people together. It gives players a common goal, which in turn, places them in conflict with each other.
-
Quests appeal to me a lot more now that I think about them.
I've also done some thought about my write ups, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be doing the AARs every two turns from now on. It gives me more to talk about. I mean I guess if there's a massive 5 turn conflict between almost every active player that'll change, but two turns is a nice balance. (I kinda wonder if many people are actually reading them. I honestly don't think they're as great as TCM says. Would any spectators care to comment?)
-
((I am reading them, they are good.))
-
((Yeah, I like them. I personally think the first one was the best, so I'd suggest more of what you were doing there.))
-
The first one eh? I kinda thought that one was lacking something, which I why I slowly changed things afterwards. Looking back, I can see the appeal. There's a couple little touches I like about the first one. I'll try to return to form for the next one. It won't be exactly the same way of course. I'll try and combine the things I thought were best about all the sort of "styles" of commentary I used, taking into account the critiques I've gotten here and there.
-
I'd personally say less recapping what happened and more analysis/predictions/jokes/connections to earlier rounds/whatever.

Round 33: The Aztecs Strike Back!
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Dawn
Ukrainian waits for one the militia to start shooting on Hawk's position before she runs up from the side. (7+2 vs. 9-2) The shot to the ankle during the previous turn left the militant on his back, making it much easier for Ranger to strike him. She drops down and slides across the floor, her heel connecting with with left shoulder, the force of the slide-kick causes him to take his left hand off the gun and weakly grip it in his other hand.
Abstract parks the car and looks around to make sure that they aren't being followed. When he confirms this, he does a three-point turn and begins to drive back to towards Denmark. Autumn is still confused, "Who was that woman? Why did she try to do something to us? What was she doing exactly? What's going on?" Her voice is soft and confused, and her questions unanswered as they pull into the campsite where another wave of citizens are being led into various vehicles, directed by police officers. The two of them spot a horse in the crowd carrying supplies. A police officer taps Abstract's window and speaks to him, "Sports Car eh'? Those aren't built to carry that many people are they? And you've already got a passenger with you, jeez..."
Greatness, after successfully cutting one of the militia down, decides to finish the job for good. (9+3 vs. 3-2) The Militia, scooting backwards with his back on the floor, tries to fire, but Greatness is too agile with a leap forward and drives his Katana deep into the Assaulter's midsection. He cries out in shock as Greatness takes his blade still embedded deep within the militia and pulls it downward, splitting him down the middle, cutting everything from his torso down into his gut. Greatness retracts his blade and flicks it in the air to remove some of the excess blood. He walks out of the aisle and leaves the militia to quickly expire.
At the front of the store he sees the final militia still fighting against his two new comrades. With a gentle voice, Greatness explains to the final hostile entity, "I apologize for your friend, he attacked me, however, and I was unaware-" Greatness's attempt at conversion is interrupted as Ukrainian slides out of the shadows and kicks the militia in the arm. So much for diplomacy. He sits up and fires single-handedly at Ukrainian, who ducks behind a crate of melons, the disabled militia spraying bullets all over the place with little control. He twists his torso and fires at Greatness, (5-2 vs. 3) and while most of casualties are dealt to innocent cans of soup and boxes of cereal, the Samurai does take a stray to the knee, which embeds itself in one piece of his armor and does no further damage besides making that spot on his knee feel funny for a moment.
Hawk, done with second chances, vaults over the counter and goes on the offensive, firing on the final militia while simultaneously walking towards him. (4 vs. 2-2) Hawk fires twice, one of his shots hits his target in the head, not an instant kill brain-piercing headshot but rather one that cuts along the side of the skull. It does not kill him, but it does open a serious wound and knocks him unconscious.
Elephant Parade declines the offer to sing in a church choir and goes off to ask one of the police officers where the refugees are going to. "Well, their going into Green Bay and from there they're being split up to different locations; some shelters, some church basements, some high school gymnasiums, that sort of thing." Elephant asks about his horse and is met with an unhelpful, almost sarcastic answer, "Sheesh, how is anyone supposed to know where your horse is going to? We've got too much to think about right now boy..."
Salsacookies slows down as he passes the two men approaching, making sure to stay far on the other side of the street away from them. The vehicle upon closer inspection appears to be a...potato? Weird, but Salsacookies knew better than to make it his business. The driver, an older man in a military uniform, greets him, "Good morning to you! Are you part of the relief?" Salsacookies responds to the driver's smile and friendly greeting with a cold stare, and speeds up as he passes them. He continues looking behind them, over his shoulder, until they are out of sight.
Salsa continues down the road until he is on the other side of town, where a number of tents have sprung up on the side of the road like some sort of refugee camp. Inside the area he can see swaths of people moving about inside, being driven away in an assortment of vehicles.
"Hrmmm. Good enough, hopefully this will work correctly, no time to waste now." Execute and Yuri exit the Temple and head down into the streets of Tenochtitlan. They make their way back towards the Grand Pyramid, where an enormous mass of warriors stand like spectators at a sports game. The three of them push through, but as soon as Execute and Yuri are spotted the mass parts like Moses going through the Red Sea. The trio are able to run down a newly created open corridor with kneeling soldiers on either side of them. Execute climbs to the top steps of the pyramid and looks down below, tens of thousands of his soldiers staring back up at him expectantly. The rush was like none he had ever experienced, even in his days of leading thousands of Russians into battle.
Clearing his throat, Execute yells to his followers below, "WE HAVE ASSEMBLED HERE TODAY FOR WAR, THIS TRIBE HAS LIVED HERE FOR TIMES UNCOUNTABLE AND YET THESE FALSE WHITE SPIRITS HAVE COME TO TAKE THIS LAND AWAY FROM US! WELL, I SAY WE SHALL NOT LET THEM! THEY SHALL BLEED FOR THEIR CRIMES AND WE SHALL BE THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE TO MAKE THEM! WE SHALL NOT FALL TO THESE INVADERS, WE SHALL NEVER FALL!" (Inspiration: 10+3[Deity Bonus]) The soldiers erupt into one giant roar, a roar of hunger and frenzy. [Berserk! - +3 to Combat] The sound is so grand that Execute's blood boil's and he barely able to contain his own excitement, feeling as though if he needs to jump around and punch one thousands Spaniards in the face. Execute remembers his map, a piece of his new strategy and holds it out in front of him, opening a swirling purple portal in its center. He dives inside....
Execute comes through the other side and finds himself back on the shore where he had been hours before, stealthy sabotaging enemy ships. Something is off though; looking around, he finds the shore to be abandoned, with not a trace of a Conquistador left. And how could they have left, their boats were still anchored right there! Upon further inspection, something is wrong with the boats too, they lack all the fancy ornaments and symbols that were on them when he had previously seen them. Turning around, there is yet another error that almost makes Execute jump; the mountains in the distance that he had become used to seeing where all in the wrong location and sized differently. This led him to a realization that the map did not translate to the real world but rather, it created an alternate universe based on the portrayal of the mapmakers. This meant that the world of the Aztecs was not truly 'real' either, it was just an imagined reality by the artist who painted the picture of the battle in the mansion, and the mansion itself merely existed in the world of an artist's imagination itself! Execute wasn't travelling to other dimensions, he was actually giving birth to them, making them true on a level that they hadn't been.
Execute leaves the map world and steps back out into the Aztec Dimension, where his warriors below lose their minds even further as they watch their God enter and exit a portal, thinking he was simply giving them a display of his powers. Yuri notices Execute looking distraught, unaware of the existential mindscrew going on in Execute's head at the moment. "Master, is everything alright?" Execute solemnly nods and turns to his soldiers, putting on his best war face as he points in the direction of the jungle and the shore beyond it. "GO! KILL THEM ALL!" The rabid mass of warriors charges into the jungle while Execute grabs Yuri and wraps his arms around him before taking off.
Execute soars through the air with Yuri in tow, he is doing his best not to freak out after being unexpectedly flown hundreds of feet off the ground. "Master, what are we doing?"
"I'm getting you behind enemy lines! If you can sneak around and assassinate some of the higher ranking officers before own main forces reach the shore, we'll have an even better chance!" As Execute beats his wings against the air, he watches the sun coming up the horizon. Damn, they would lose the cover of darkness! If they were shot down, it could all end here! (5) The soldiers on shore, just waking up, fail to spot Execute and Yuri as they land at the rear of one of the remaining grand ships. A small group of soldiers on board had spotted their descent however, and quickly converged on their position, armed with muskets and blades. Execute attempts to pick up Yuri and flee, but his servant pushes him away. "Go! You won't be fast enough if you take me, they'll be able to shoot you over the ocean! I'll keep them busy, get out of here!" Execute, realizing that this is the only option, takes flight once more and watches Yuri pull out his Dagger, the same one given to him by Execute many years ago and that he had kept with him every day. (7 vs. 5+1) Thankfully, Yuri had been a soldier for several years and even done his share of fighting afterwards; Execute watches him dodge the musket shot of a soldier and then slash that same soldier's wrist. Confident in the skills of his lifelong friend, Execute ascends to a point where no one could spot him. Flapping in mid-air, he watches his plans unfold; some of the Spaniards move towards the ship, curious as they hear what sounds like fighting. This makes them totally unprepared for a rumbling coming from the jungle like sustained thunder, followed by the screeching of what must have been a million beasts. Out of the jungle run a handful of fleeing invaders, one of them yelling in a voice so high pitched that even Execute could somehow faintly hear him, "THEY'RE COMING!" (Morale: 10) Instead of devolving into a panicked mess, somehow, the Spaniards stand firm get into position, setting up fortifications, turning their ships so that the cannons faced the shore. After hearing that ferocious roar, the same one that Execute had inspired before, being directed at them, Execute was shocked that the Spanish remained so disciplined; even as hated foes, Execute had to give them a bit of respect for their display.
(2+2 vs. 5+3) The Spanish, forewarned, were prepared as the first wave of Aztecs came pouring out from the forest. Every musket and cannon seemed to fire simultaneously, blasting into the Natives, hundreds were killed instantly. Yet, even with the Conquistadors getting the first strike a taking out a fraction of the Aztec forces in just a few seconds, the charge did not stop. Eventually, so many Aztecs had made it onto the beach that it was hard to tell that any had been killed at all. (1+3 vs. 10+2) The Aztecs began their first line of attacks, throwing javelins and shooting arrows at the invaders, felling dozens of Spaniards but doing little else, their weapons ineffective against European armor and the mighty warships. The explorers mounted horses to give the mobility, allowing them to evade Aztec attacks while shooting them down. Additionally, the cannons continued to fire, now with much more effective grapeshot. A single accurate cannon shot would take down thirty to fifty Aztec warriors, basically wiping out the entire first line. (4+2 vs. 10+3) With the first wave decimated, the embolden Conquistadors rode their horses into the jungle, making a counter-push. It was a poor decision, in the thick foliage of the jungle, they failed to see the Jaguar Warriors hiding in the trees, who leaped from above and knocked the Spaniards from their horses. The temporarily disoriented dismounted riders were little resistance to the agile Jaguars who slit their necks with obsidian blades. The Spaniards on the shore eagerly awaited their comrades to return after wiping out the native warriors, but were met with the second wave instead. (8+3 vs. 6+2) The Aztecs ran through cannon and musket fire to engage in close combat where their skill and unstoppable drive made them equals against the more armored, gunpowder wielding and horse-riding Spanish. By the time the third wave of Aztecs arrived, even the cannons could do little, once the Jaguars had the idea to use flaming arrows against the naval vessel. After one ship went down in a fiery blaze, and its survivors swam to shore only to be cut down, the other ship raised a flag of surrender.
Final Troop Count
Technochiltan Forces: 35,000 -> 24,000
Spanish Forces: 3,800 - 14 (Captured), 3 Warships -> 1 (Captured)
While the Aztecs had lost many soldiers, it was a time of much celebration, the invaders had finally been defeated! The pillaged food was eaten and the looted ale was drunk. The Jaguars danced around the heads of the decapitated Conquistadors, only sparing a handful. Execute landed among the celebrating Aztecs, where he found Yuri by the final few living Spaniards, all sitting in a circle with an outer circle of guards around them, spears and bows at the ready. "Master Execute! You're unhurt! I was able to capture the last lieutenants on the ship. I wasn't able to get their leader though, according to them, he somehow died when one of their ships had an accident last night that killed many of them."
Person drives the spudmobile towards the Snowmobile and gives its driver a friendly greeting; in return, he only gets an icy, suspecting stare. Once he is faraways, Person's companion shakes his head, "Sir, I get the premonition that somethin' in this town ain't right, I can feel it deep within my bones. We would do well to keep caution around anyone we see. Trust no one you find, that's what those Marines say, isn't it?" Their conversation is cut short by the sound of gunfire and flashes of light in one of the buildings ahead. The Buffalo soldier reflexively points his rifle at the building, "Sir, the shooting is coming from Ten O'Clock, 800 meters!"
High Tyrol drives her plane towards the airfield, where she is stopped at a security checkpoint. "What's your business here ma'am?" Tyrol states that she wishes to sell her Biplane off to the airport, at which point the guards look at each other before one speaks to her, "We're sorry ma'am, but we are a modern airport that only deals in, well, modern airplanes. If you want to sell that plane of yours off, you would do better talking to a private collector or a museum that looks for these type of things." When she asks to refuel her car with jet fuel, the guard chuckles. "We can't let you do that ma'am. Even if we did, jet fuel would be worse than putting diesel in your tank, you would destroy your whole engine!"

Ask them to attach some indication of my ownership to the horse, if it won't take too much time. Leave; reload musket.
-
Well, three is a good number.
I walk on over to the quickly dying Milita Assault, and grab his Radio and his Rifle, because Wiki Warriors and the Bushido Code don't mix sometimes. While doing so, I peer out the window in the shop for anyone who could be lurking around, saying to my new allies:
"Halt. If someone saw the flash of the arms, or heard the crack of ammunition flying through the air, we may have company. And in any case, things will get interesting."
-
Well I was kinda the chap who went to greenbay and convinced them to send relief so why the sports car may not have much room I'm willing to help to the best of my abiltys.
help as much as I can.[\b]
-
Shoot, knew it would have been too much to hope that the portals could go through time, too.
Thinking about it, if they could, the mapmakers would have painted it as it was at night, which would be a very odd temporal paradox.
Still, I would not have had that go any differently, good rolls for both sides, and it led to a nice conclusion*.
Okay, get a few dozen soldiers to search that ship for anything useful, and a handful to bring that painting of that thunder god, while that's going on, speak to the soldiers.
"You have seen my power, and my strength, and I will give you a chance of survival, you shall be guided through a portal to a new land, and you are free to do as you please, except for one condition.
If you are to find any others in the boundary of the city, you are to attempt to kill them, it is unnessecary for you to sacrifice your life for me, as I do not expect you to, if you are put in a position to surrender, feel free to do so, and if you reach the edge of the city, you are free, start a new life, I don't care at that point, But." His wings unfurl to their maximum length, as his voice becomes flinty and dangerous, "Do not mistake this for compassion, I have powers beyond your comprehension and I can make you suffer in ways untold of, I am offering you this chance because I could not care less for your lives.
So, which will it be? Death? Or a chance of death?"
If they accept, guide them (surrounded by the tribesmen and stripped of their weapons, of course.) through the portals back into the art store, and send them off, if they refuse, open the portal to the god's realm, and send them through as sacrifices, if the painting can't be found, just give them to the tribesmen.
When the soldiers return from the ship, go through any useful gear and split it among the soldiers, then start sending them out to meet the other tribes and tell them of this new spirit that has led them to defeat the conquistadors, go (On the emperors suggestion) To particularly stubborn areas to show them for themselves, then get them to meet up where the portal originated from.
Awww, no points for doing this quest?
*Though are you sure you got that Aztec soldiers count right?

Awww, no points for doing this quest?
*Though are you sure you got that Aztec soldiers count right?
Seeing as it was ongoing before Quests were even a suggestion, it doesn't count as Quest. Plus, a Quest would be something that more-or-less would be universally available to all players, so "Travel to an Alternate Dimension and Aid the Aztec Empire In Defeating the Conquistadors" wouldn't be playable for many people. Be happy you got an entire Empire out of the whole thing. :P
Yes, you still have 320,000 soldiers, (well, 309,000 now) but all of the soldiers in the Tenochtitlan area totaled 35,000. If you wanted to round up all the soldiers throughout the entire kingdom, it would take days, if not weeks to get the word out and then for all of them to meet up somewhere.

"Yes, you're probably right. Well, let's move out."
Drive towards the shooting. Have my pistol ready.

I'd personally say less recapping what happened and more analysis/predictions/jokes/connections to earlier rounds/whatever.
If you wanted a constructive critique Person, I'd concur with NAV. Since everyone reading is going to go over the turns, general recaps aren't that important. Instead, focus on the implications what has happened each turn, you can even imply rather than summarize. (Instead of "Player X did this this and this" you can just, "Wow, that was a crazy turn for Player X! This means that....") Focus on your own opinions, analysis and predictions for the following turn. Feel free to give advice, that's what real commentators do. "Now if I was player X, I would...."
-
You know, that seems so obvious in retrospect. I'll get on that as soon as possible.
Edit: Here we go.
Announcer 1: This is Graham Warren.
Announcer 2: And this is Van Harrison.
Graham: And you're watching the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: The only place to get updated on the only sport worth watching.
Graham: Individual analysis of every combatant, examination of their tactics, and live updates on the state of the arena.
Van: Its all right here, on WWR.
*Opening fanfare.*
Graham: As you can see, we're back in action after a little bit of technical difficulties. *Pointed glare at Van*
Van: Well that's all in the past right? Let's just get down to business, they've been waiting long enough.
Graham: *Sigh* Right. So, the action in the grocery store still hasn't died down. The remaining members of Nunzillor's rebellion are dying left and right, and Greatness still doesn't have a scratch on him. Hawk and Ukranian Ranger have made a good decision, allying with Greatness. This team has it all!
Van: From here, I'd go about finding proper medical treatment. That store's stock of veggies won't last forever.
Graham: Another good idea would be to stock up on more weapons and armor, along with other supplies. If Greatness is willing to share, this wild ensemble will be quite the reckoning.
Van: The noise they're making might draw in other warriors though, so they're not quite in the clear yet.
Graham: Execute has effectively completed their war in the painting. The conquistadors have been repelled, and now the only question remaining is "Where will he go next?"
Van: Now that he's destroyed his opposition, earning the complete loyalty of the Aztec army, he should start making his way back into Denmark. It may be difficult for them to mobilize their forces, but if Execute manages to take control of Denmark, that might change things considerably, as all new warriors have to visit the town.
Graham: That's a good point. I'll note that if I were Execute right now, I would be a part of the invasion into Denmark.
Van: Why's that? Surely they'd be safer inside the painting?
Graham: That's true, but its a calculated risk. Although it would be safer to remain in the painting, sending forces to scout outside the painting might not be the best choice. The modern world is an entirely foreign environment to their soldiers, so Execute's guidance will probably be key when it comes to any complex orders.
Van: Let's move on to some of our less fearsome warriors for a bit.
Graham: High tyrol's plan seems rather lackluster. I'm not sure why they thought they'd be able to sell their plane at the airport, nor why they would want a helicopter instead.
Van: That's puzzling me too. Their plane is armed, and acquiring a helicopter with any armaments at all, let alone good ones is probably out of their reach, unless they manage to contact the government or military. Perhaps the police will have something to suit their needs?
Graham: Meanwhile, ATH's decision to join the Denmark relief efforts could serve them well in the future. Sure, a sports car isn't the best vehicle for the job, but it is not like they're going to turn down charity.
Van: Any amount of help... helps. That sounded better in my head.
Graham: Anyway. If I were ATH, I would keep helping the relief forces. Not necessary out of empathy, though that would be a part of it, but because the relief forces might have them transport supplies.
Van: That's certainly something they could use to their advantage.
Graham: Elephant Parade is back and ready for action. My recommendations for Elephant Parade are firstly that they reload their musket. Really, that's been bothering me.
Van: You too? A warrior should always be ready for combat. That's why them not keeping their weapon loaded is a bad idea.
Graham: Secondly, it may be wise for them to find extra weapons in case they are disarmed, particularly swords.
Van: Or, if they were to find a local reenactment group, they could find support there instead.
Graham: Twinwolf still seems to be spacing out. Maybe that shopkeeper should give them a nudge.
Van: Indecision is the enemy!
Graham: Right, back to the other warriors who seem interested in fighting.
Van: You know, we probably shouldn't have put Elephant Parade in the not threatening category. He did kill a man shortly after he joined, you know.
Graham: Oh right. I suppose that wasn't really fair of me. Well, its a bit late for that now isn't it? Anyway, Salsacookies and Dad seem to have ignored each other. Or well, it wasn't exactly mutual. Dad certainly attempted contact, but Salsacookies was uninterested. They both seem distracted with their own goals.
Van: Any idea what those goals might be?
Graham: Well, Salsacookies might go for the Dead Rising strategy here.
Van: What's that again?
Graham: Strap deadly weapons onto vehicles. I'm referring to his barbell here.
Van: Oh right.
Graham: That's probably what I would do in this situation. Only time will tell how long it takes them to find the required materials.
Van: Or how long before someone interrupts them.
Graham: Indeed. Anyway, Dad seems to be making their way towards the sound of gunfire. Not much self preservation instinct there, eh?
Van: Do you think that gunfire might be from the grocers? They could find allies there.
Graham: If it is the grocers, diplomacy is key. With his loyal buffalo soldier by his side, it would be a 2v3 fight, but that doesn't even the odds much when one of those 3 is Greatness, invincible samurai extraordinaire. If he does end up fighting that group, using his vehicle's speed would be key to victory.
Van: Likewise, his opponents would benefit from breaking the wheels or the engine on the spudmobile.
Graham: The vehicle in question does have a decent top speed. Combined with two firearms to attack with, they'll probably be able to make an escape if worst comes to worst. Offering them a ride on his vehicle may actually be a good incentive for teamwork, as they are lacking in transport.
Van: Anything else Dad does hinges on what they find when they reach their destination. Well, I think that wraps things up for now.
Graham: Don't even think about it. We'll see you all next time.
Van: I really am sorry about that, you know.
Graham: Good.
Van: We're out. Stay tuned in to WWR for all the latest news about this great battle.
Is that better?
(Also, Twinwolf hasn't posted here in quite a while. I'd poke them by pm if you haven't already TCM. I'd do it myself, but that seems presumptuous.)
-
(I, uh, don't mean to be rude or anything, but it's been two days. If you want some help, Salsacookies, High Tyrol and Twinwolf are the only ones who haven't updated. I'm okay with people taking their time, really I am, but there's been no activity for two days. I'm just saying. I really will be patient, it's just, when something doesn't update for a while, I get really antsy and keep going back to check and see if something's happened of not.)

Round 34: Conquistador by the Dozen
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Dawn
Elephant Parade asks the police officers overwatching the relief effort to attach some sort of identification to his horse so that he can retrieve it later. "Yeah, sure, I'll keep an eye for him," the officers says halfheartedly as he pays more attention to the stuff going on around than to Elephant specifically. Elephant moves away to a more secluded to spot to reload his Musket out of the eyesight of any civilians. While he does this, he spots a man too lightly dressed for this type of weather, driving into the general area of the camp. He's huge, more muscular than any person Elephant had seen in person, and he's carrying some sort of metallic object with him...
"Well I was kinda the chap who went to Green Bay and convinced them to send relief so why the sports car may not have much room I'm willing to help to the best of my ability." After Abstract replies to him, the police officer sneers, "You're the one that got all of this to happen? You and that beat up hooptie? Give me a break...Why don't you wiggle around and see if you can fit a couple people in here, huh?"
After he walks away, Autumn fumes, "Wow, they're awfully rude around here aren't they?"
A middle-aged woman and two small children come to the side of the car. "Do you have room for passengers?"
Greatness walks back into the Pet Food aisle and begins rifling around in the supplies of the militia painfully expiring. The man says something unintelligible under his ragged breathing and shakes his arms in an attempt to do something, but is to weak to stop Greatness or ask for help. (+Portable Radio, AR15 Assault Rifle) Relieving the dying man of his most valuable possessions, Greatness goes back to the front of the store and alerts his teammates. "Halt. If someone saw the flash of the arms, or heard the crack of ammunition flying through the air, we may have company. And in any case, things will get interesting." He slides up a wall until he reaches one of the large glass windows, peeking out into the street and trying to do as little as possible to expose himself to anyone that may be out there. (Perception:8 ) Greatness spots a nondescript vehicle with multiple riders heading towards the direction of the grocery, in less than a minute they would pass by the entrance.
Hawk digs into some more vegetables to cure his various status ailments, returning his body to 100% function. He then refills the two bags with enough vegetables from the Produce section to keep him going for a while. Running into a grocery of all places was good fortune for him. He then attempts to fix Ukrainian's arm, but due to the severity of her injury, he decides that trying to fix it now would most likely injure her further. Even rudimentary or improvised medical supplies would help him greatly in this endeavor.
"Yes, you're probably right. Well, let's move out." Person drives the Spudmobile in the direction of the fired shots and continues down the street, the various shops and facilities on what was once a fairly business downtown avenue now deserted, giving the place an eerie feeling. (Perception: 4) Both Person and his companion peer through the windows of the various stores but fail to spot any other people.
Execute sends a small battalion of soldiers to the captured ship to loot it for any precious cargo. The reports come back highly positive; because the ship was captured and there was little fighting on board, most of the stuff on the ship is still salvageable and fine to use. The food, ale, weapons, equipment and luxury items are all still intact.
Execute then finds the Conquistador prisoners and gives them an ultimatum: either be executed or brave a new world where they may have a shot at attaining freedom. Jubilant that they won't be scalped or burned alive like their fellow Spainiards, all twelve of them readily accept. They are led, at spear-and-bow point, to the portal that Execute had originally traversed to get to the Aztec world. When they enter the Mansion, all twelve of them stop, and so do all of the Aztec warriors accompany them. The 16th century peoples are in awe of every element of the mansion, both parties stare at the painting of the Aztec-Spanish War, realizing that they have been portrayed. Yuri keeps balance, "We must continue, these things will be explained in due time!" He gives Execute a subtle look that no one else would understand, but Execute translates his facial language as, 'We're going to have to explain to the Aztecs what they're doing in a early 20th century mansion, in addition to them seeing a portal that leads back to our modern world'.
Everyone stands before the swirling purple portal, which leads right to where Execute and Yuri originated from, the image of Denmark glowing before them. Execute gives the Conquistadors one final speech, "Good luck; while you may think of the Aztecs as barbarians, the men and women you encounter beyond the portal are one hundred times more vicious and powerful, equipped with technology and arcane abilities you could not even imagine. It is a world where there are great metal boats travelling the skies, guns can shoot one hundred bullets without reloading, and a person in France can talk to a person in England without leaving their home." About half of the Conquistadors look like they regret their decision, but it's much too late for that though. As the spears prod at their backsides, the dozen of them step through. The outcome are twelve very confused Spainiards standing in a lot where the Art Shop once was, trying to get their bearings together.
After this is complete, Execute and Yuri lead the Aztecs back to the homeworld; despite being skilled and fearless warriors, all of the group appears shaken by what they have seen, their response ranging anywhere from total silence to having an existential emotional breakdown. Once again, Execute attempts to distribute Muskets and Metal Armor looted from the Spanish Warship to his army, but they still prefer to keep their more familiar weaponry and equipment. They do however express interest in cannons, and wish to harness the power of the exotic weapons that can destroy an entire building in one shot.
Execute then sends regiments of his army to the tribes surrounding the Aztec Empire to tell them of the coming of Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal:
(6) The Texcocans of the North do believe that a great spirit has indeed visited the Aztec, however, they tell them that they have a great spirit of their own. When Execute hears of this, he visits the Texcocans who's Emperor is impressed with his ability of flight and leadership abilities. He then introduces Ihiyo-Contlati, a self proclaimed spirit who is able to breathe fire, and performs an impressive display of it. Everyone is impressed, even Execute's Aztec entourage, and he leaves feeling a little jealous of a guy with a slightly cooler power.
(8 ) One the other hands, The Tacubans have no such great spirit and are excited to hear of their neighbors acquiring one. They plan to send the King some of his advisers to Tenochtitlan to meet Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal.
(6-2[Hostile Rivals]) The Artawa have been rivals of the Aztecs for centuries, a time that has seen several wars between the two tribes. The Artawa have even allied themselves with the Spanish in order to fight the Aztecs. When they are told of a great spirit who can fly, they balk at the Aztecs and say that should the great spirit come to them himself, they will shoot him with a hundred arrows before he can land. The Aztecs are able to leave with a cold reception, but fortunately no fighting occurred and they were able to relay the Artawa's threat to Execute before he made his journey.
Ukrainian loots Nunzillor of her devices, (+Katana, Portable Radio, Skiing Mask) before leaning on a wall and groaning in a mix of fatigue and sleepiness. "I think we need to get out of the town to Green Bay and get some rest." It is true that since she had arrived, the store owner had not a single second of rest.
The second and final evacuation of Denmark civilians has begun.
New Quest: Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.

I want my 10 Minutes! (Passive) - Constantly demands to have a full, uninterrupted ten minutes so that he can say what he wants. Super effective against Anderson Cooper.

Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.
Target:
Conquistadors Squad
Attributes: +1 Muskets, +1 Shortswords
Equipment: Muskets, Spanish Shortswords, Metal Armor
Status: 12/12
You know, that seems so obvious in retrospect. I'll get on that as soon as possible.
Edit: Here we go.
Announcer 1: This is Graham Warren.
Announcer 2: And this is Van Harrison.
Graham: And you're watching the Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: The only place to get updated on the only sport worth watching.
Graham: Individual analysis of every combatant, examination of their tactics, and live updates on the state of the arena.
Van: Its all right here, on WWR.
*Opening fanfare.*
Graham: As you can see, we're back in action after a little bit of technical difficulties. *Pointed glare at Van*
Van: Well that's all in the past right? Let's just get down to business, they've been waiting long enough.
Graham: *Sigh* Right. So, the action in the grocery store still hasn't died down. The remaining members of Nunzillor's rebellion are dying left and right, and Greatness still doesn't have a scratch on him. Hawk and Ukranian Ranger have made a good decision, allying with Greatness. This team has it all!
Van: From here, I'd go about finding proper medical treatment. That store's stock of veggies won't last forever.
Graham: Another good idea would be to stock up on more weapons and armor, along with other supplies. If Greatness is willing to share, this wild ensemble will be quite the reckoning.
Van: The noise they're making might draw in other warriors though, so they're not quite in the clear yet.
Graham: Execute has effectively completed their war in the painting. The conquistadors have been repelled, and now the only question remaining is "Where will he go next?"
Van: Now that he's destroyed his opposition, earning the complete loyalty of the Aztec army, he should start making his way back into Denmark. It may be difficult for them to mobilize their forces, but if Execute manages to take control of Denmark, that might change things considerably, as all new warriors have to visit the town.
Graham: That's a good point. I'll note that if I were Execute right now, I would be a part of the invasion into Denmark.
Van: Why's that? Surely they'd be safer inside the painting?
Graham: That's true, but its a calculated risk. Although it would be safer to remain in the painting, sending forces to scout outside the painting might not be the best choice. The modern world is an entirely foreign environment to their soldiers, so Execute's guidance will probably be key when it comes to any complex orders.
Van: Let's move on to some of our less fearsome warriors for a bit.
Graham: High tyrol's plan seems rather lackluster. I'm not sure why they thought they'd be able to sell their plane at the airport, nor why they would want a helicopter instead.
Van: That's puzzling me too. Their plane is armed, and acquiring a helicopter with any armaments at all, let alone good ones is probably out of their reach, unless they manage to contact the government or military. Perhaps the police will have something to suit their needs?
Graham: Meanwhile, ATH's decision to join the Denmark relief efforts could serve them well in the future. Sure, a sports car isn't the best vehicle for the job, but it is not like they're going to turn down charity.
Van: Any amount of help... helps. That sounded better in my head.
Graham: Anyway. If I were ATH, I would keep helping the relief forces. Not necessary out of empathy, though that would be a part of it, but because the relief forces might have them transport supplies.
Van: That's certainly something they could use to their advantage.
Graham: Elephant Parade is back and ready for action. My recommendations for Elephant Parade are firstly that they reload their musket. Really, that's been bothering me.
Van: You too? A warrior should always be ready for combat. That's why them not keeping their weapon loaded is a bad idea.
Graham: Secondly, it may be wise for them to find extra weapons in case they are disarmed, particularly swords.
Van: Or, if they were to find a local reenactment group, they could find support there instead.
Graham: Twinwolf still seems to be spacing about. Maybe that shopkeeper should give they a nudge.
Van: Indecision is the enemy!
Graham: Right, back to the other warriors who seem interested in fighting.
Van: You know, we probably shouldn't have put Elephant Parade in the not threatening category. He did kill a man shortly after he joined, you know.
Graham: Oh right. I suppose that wasn't really fair of me. Well, its a bit late for that now isn't it? Anyway, Salsacookies and Dad seem to have ignored each other. Or well, it wasn't exactly mutual. Dad certainly attempted contact, but Salsacookies was uninterested. They both seem distracted with their own goals.
Van: Any idea what those goals might be?
Graham: Well, Salsacookies might go for the Dead Rising strategy here.
Van: What's that again?
Graham: Strap deadly weapons onto vehicles. I'm referring to his barbell here.
Van: Oh right.
Graham: That's probably what I would do in this situation. Only time will tell how long it takes them to find the required materials.
Van: Or how long before someone interrupts them.
Graham: Indeed. Anyway, Dad seems to be making their way towards the sound of gunfire. Not much self preservation instinct there, eh?
Van: Do you think that gunfire might be from the grocers? They could find allies there.
Graham: If it is the grocers, diplomacy is key. With his loyal buffalo soldier by his side, it would be a 2v3 fight, but that doesn't even the odds much when one of those 3 is Greatness, invincible samurai extraordinaire. If he does end up fighting that group, using his vehicle's speed would be key to victory.
Van: Likewise, his opponents would benefit from breaking the wheels or the engine on the spudmobile.
Graham: The vehicle in question does have a decent top speed. Combined with two firearms to attack with, they'll probably be able to make an escape if worst comes to worst. Offering them a ride on his vehicle may actually be a good incentive for teamwork, as they are lacking in transport.
Van: Anything else Dad does hinges on what they find when they reach their destination. Well, I think that wraps things up for now.
Graham: Don't even think about it. We'll see you all next time.
Van: I really am sorry about that, you know.
Graham: Good.
Van: We're out. Stay tuned in to WWR for all the latest news about this great battle.
Is that better?
(Also, Twinwolf hasn't posted here in quite a while. I'd poke them by pm if you haven't already TCM. I'd do it myself, but that seems presumptuous.)
This is top quality. I will PM Twinwolf.
(I, uh, don't mean to be rude or anything, but it's been two days. If you want some help, Salsacookies, High Tyrol and Twinwolf are the only ones who haven't updated. I'm okay with people taking their time, really I am, but there's been no activity for two days. I'm just saying. I really will be patient, it's just, when something doesn't update for a while, I get really antsy and keep going back to check and see if something's happened of not.)
I get it, the first day I could've put a turn up only 6 out of 10 people had posted, so I wanted to give everyone some more time to post. Yesterday was just hectic. Sorry for the wait. Also, no turn on Friday or Saturday, and about 50% chance of a turn on Sunday. Making sure to tell everyone in advance this time before my turns are delayed.

((No need, I'm here, I just have no idea what to do. Not sure how to actually play a Nazi, for one.))

Yeah it looks like there's enough room so hop in.
Invite said mother and her children in begin driving to greenbay/wherever refugees are being sent.

((No need, I'm here, I just have no idea what to do. Not sure how to actually play a Nazi, for one.))
Well, it's general Fascism and not specifically Nazism, so feel free to make it whatever kind of Fascism you want. But a spin on things and lead a Fascist Movement where gay people have more rights than straight people, or something like that. :P Since it's become less important, if you want, I can change +2 Fascist Nationalism to +2 Nationalist Leadership which is a bit more flexible and you can play your character however you want.
You're not that tough compared to people like Execute or Ukrainian or Greatness, sure, but compare yourself to Salsacookies and Abstract; they started with improvised weapons (Salsa had to loot the Grenade Launcher) and some close quarters combat. Elephant is skilled with a musket that he has to reload after every shot. You, on the other hand, can breathe fire, eat a chocolate bar to cause a thunder storm, and have a big-ass cannon that you could use if you could round up at least half a dozen people. The possibilities are endless.
-
((I HAVE A GRENADE LAUNCHER!!???))
-
(You don't necessarily have to play as a Nazi. You could for example just be someone who found themselves interested in the period. Or just ignore those skills. Also what TCM said. Anyway, last I checked you were still in the store with that guy, stealing a lighter, so feel free to go from there. He hasn't noticed you, so you can probably take your leave.)
"Looking back, it probably wasn't the best idea to jump into an unknown situation like this. We're sitting ducks out here. I'll get us somewhere safer, but keep a lookout."
Drive on to one of the larger nearby roads, so that I have room to look around. If I encounter any of the conquistadors, shoot them.
(Also Salsacookies has the grenade launcher, must have been a mistake.)
-
((I HAVE A GRENADE LAUNCHER!!???))
Nah, I meant Salsa. My bad.
When there's 10 Players constantly being shifted back and forth, I confuse names sometimes which y'all easily point out. :P
-
((Okay...well I don't need it because of my master plan
Step 1 evacuate citizens of denmark
Step 2 marry autumn
Step 3 get a job
Step 4 work in that Job for years
Step 5 have children
Step 6 be old and happy
Step 7 it's a suprise))
-
(That makes sense TCM. Having ran two games on the forums for BYOND, I understand not just waiting, but hectic days where checking in on the game may not be possible at the time. In fact, those two ended because interest died down, though that was due to BYOND forums not being a good place, for...I'm rambling, ONTO THE POST.)
"Makes sense, I'll follow your lead." "Ikou!" Translation: "Let's go!"
I peer out of the shop cautiously, making sure to try to find a car or something for us to leave in. If I find one, I want to automatically point it out, and then sneak towards it.
EDIT: Changed my action slightly because I didn't quite like it.

Graham: Welcome back to Wikipedia Warfare Report!
Van: You weren't expecting us for a little while yet, eh?
Graham: We've got something important to say here.
Van: I kind of wasn't expecting to have to be here either, so what's all this about Graham?
Graham: Well, the higher ups figured there wasn't nearly enough conflict in this war. So, they've decided to debut the newly created Quest System.
Van: Quest system?
Graham: Our warriors will be assigned objectives, and rewarded if they complete them.
Van: Well! That ought to get some of our less active warriors into motion.
Graham: I should hope so. The first quest is to kill Execute's conscripted conquistadors. Anyone hoping to do so should acquire a vehicle to find them quickly, but prepare to get shot at.
Van: That should up the chaos a little bit. I eagerly look forward what this will bring.
Graham: Now, let's get back to the analysis. The grocery gang has finished their battle with gusto.
Van: Last time, we recommended they re-arm and armor themselves, and they've been doing just that.
Graham: The addition of that radio might just change things though. If they manage to contact the other remaining resistance members, who knows what they might manage to accomplish. At any rate, its worth trying.
Van: The radio, eh? They could also use those more conventionally. Split up to find warriors, then use the radio to call for backup.
Graham: Sometimes simple is best.
Van: This was a great turn for Execute too. Securing alliances with other tribes was something I couldn't have anticipated. The Artawa were less than welcoming, but I suppose that is to be expected.
Graham: Recruiting those conquistadors might not be the greatest help, but it was probably a good move in the long run. Things should get more interesting in the future, so stay tuned in.
Van: We'll see you next time on WWR!
Say TCM, is there anything wrong with standing actions? Like say, if someone misses a turn, they could have a default action, provided they aren't in combat of course. Probably won't hurt anything, as they'd only be used if you're going to update but can't wait for someone any longer.
-

Twinwolf checks their watch. "Huh, didn't even notice the time. I have to go. Have a nice day."
Leave the store.

I don't actually have any default actions in mind for myself. I just thought the other players might be able to make use of it. I'm fairly sure I can keep up with the turns for the time being.

Round 35: Highjacked Highway
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
After being notified of the new Quest, Salsacookies turns his Snowmobile around and takes off towards the downtown area where the Conquistadors have reached. (9) Salsacookies gets a few blocks into the city and slows the snowmobile down to a gentle creep as he peeks around a corner. He spots twelve confused Spanish explorers wandering around an abandoned lot. So far, they have not spotted him and he is in a prime position to make the first move, whatever that will be.
Elephant Parade decides that his song needs some sort of novel feature to make it stand out, something that will make it original and fresh while retaining qualities that will make it widely popular; as he finishes cleaning out the barrel of his Musket, innovation strikes. At various points in the song, he decides that musket fire should be used as a way to convey transitions between bridges and also as a way of letting people know that he's cool enough to have a Musket. (+Untitled Song with Musket Fire) With this new song, he'll need someplace to record and produce it, or at least perform it. Maybe he wants to try his hand in Green Bay up north, the largest metropolitan area. Or he could always travel to one of the small towns surrounding Denmark and start trying to build up local support.
Person somberly looks out into the distance as he realizes the gravity of their current situation, "Looking back, it probably wasn't the best idea to jump into an unknown situation like this. We're sitting ducks out here. I'll get us somewhere safer, but keep a lookout." The Buffalo Soldier continues to scan his surroundings, "True sir, but back in the trenches we were set in much worse circumstances. I'll be on my guard." The Spudmobile turns towards another road, but before it can do so, it passes by a lot holding a dozen Conquistadors. "They're here!" (Initiative: 1 vs. 2) Neither party was expecting to find opposition so soon, which leaves both the WWI Veterans and the Conquistadors fumbling with their guns, trying to get them loaded and aimed. A single Conquistador is able to get his Musket propped up, (3 vs. 8) and fires a single shot wide right of the mobile potato. (1+2 vs. 4) Dad takes two shots with his pistol and succeeds in putting two holes in the ground. (2 vs. 6) His companion fires his own two shots which do a similar amount of damage.
Hawk still has a few magazines left from looting the police officers before, so he uses one to refill his pistol. He takes one long look at his Riot Gun before throwing it on the ground and walking over to the militia corpse closest to the exit and pulls the AR15 off of it, along with all of the spare ammunition on his body. (+AR15 Assault Rifle)
"Yeah it looks like there's enough room so hop in." Abstract allows the mother and her two small children into the car, and they fit, although it is tight and Abstract is pushed up against the door as he drives off, following the convoy of other vehicles into Green Bay, focusing on driving and trying to zone out the noise and distractions provided by having young kids in the car.
Besides that, the driving is simple and even somewhat dull. That is, until there is a loud booming noise like thunder over the silence of the car ride and the police cruiser in front of Abstract suddenly spins out of control. (7+2) Abstract swerves around the cruiser as it goes barreling past him and collides with the truck behind them. "What the hell-!" Autumn explains before there is another sonic crack as the tire of a nearby police car explodes and goes careening off of the road. Abstract can quickly deduce that someone is shooting at the relief convoy.
Twinwolf and the gas station clerk stare each other for an uncomfortably long time before Twin looks down at his watch and pretends to care about what it says. "Huh, didn't even notice the time. I have to go. Have a nice day." He casually slips out the front as the clerk waves him off, unaware that Twinwolf had stolen from his establishment. (+Lighter) With something as small and trivial as a lighter, it was doubtful that the clerk would notice that he was short a single lighter for a long while, if he ever noticed at all. The snow crunches beneath Twin's feet and the sun has ascended in the sky; he must have been in that gas station a while. Off in the distance, he can hear the sound of a mass of automobiles to the West while too the East he can hear what must be either firecrackers or gunshots.
Ukrainian Rangers slumps against the wall and lowers her head, having a short dream about J.C. Penny's having a new section that sells Kung-Fu Equipment, allowing you to buy shorts and nun-chucks in one convenient location. Her nap is interrupted by the roar of nearby gunfire.
When the vehicle with the people on it passes, Greatness looks for some sort of ride that his team could use to escape. (5) There are a lot of cars and trucks on the road, but they are all too badly broken to be of any use to him and his group. Then he hears gunfire from down the road, the same direction in which that strange vehicle had gone before; although it was gunfire, none of it sounded automatic, it was semi-automatic at best, no modern assault rifles or anything.
Execute returns to the Texcocans to have a meeting with the self-proclaimed spirit of Ihiyo-Contlati. They meet at a gilded palace built specifically for Ihiyo at his own request. While an attachment of guards comes with him, Execute orders that they stay outside the palace so that he may have a private meeting with Ihiyo. The two spirits meet in the great dining hall where Execute is presented with an abundance of food and ale. Asking for his history, Ihiyo recalls how he was a mere mortal until he was one day visited by a Fire God who dwelled deep within a volcano, that blessed him with the powers of Fire Breath. The Fire God claimed Ihiyo to be the only mortal capable of ascending to the status of a spirit as Ihiyo had proven himself in battle, slaying or capturing at least one hundred adversaries in his lifetime, an unmatched feat. Ihiyo appears to be very proud and sure of his own achievements, while anything Execute tells him is met with indifference.
The Conquistadors only have the faintest idea of what the modern world is like when they are greeted by two hostile WWI Veterans riding on a giant potato; Welcome to 2016. (6 vs. 8) Half of the dozen stay to fight, firing off their muskets at Person and failing to hit. (4+2 vs. 10) Person, ducking under musketballs, fails to hit any of the Old World invaders. (3 vs. 3) The Buffalo Soldier shoots and strikes one of the Conquistadors in the head, however, the angle was just right, causing the bullet to bounce off harmlessly. (5) The other half of the group begins to run down the road, screaming for their lives. Greatness and Salsa would see half-a-dozen men fleeing down the street like school children that had just spotted a scary insect.

Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.
Target:
Conquistadors Squad
Attributes: +1 Muskets, +1 Shortswords
Equipment: Muskets, Spanish Shortswords, Metal Armor
Status: 12/12
-
Immediately assess the situation what is attacking exactly,what could have possibly done that much damage,how much danger Also if necessary do whatever it takes to keep everyone in the car safe.
-
Complain about the lack of rest and move to the sound of gunfire to kill those bastards who interrupted such a nice dream
(BTW, can I use the Katana one handed without penalties?)
-
Walk back into the store and fill UR and Hawk in on the situation, with the best look on my face, saying this: "I just saw, like, 6 Spanish Conquistadors run down the street scared out of their wits...UR, you wanna go after 'em? I'll follow you." After saying that, I follow UR to the Conquistadors while trying to use the radio to contact the Denmark Resistance.
EDIT:Changed my dialogue and my action to fit UR's...assuming that's allowed, anyway.
-
"Focus fire on my target! Keep firing, but make 'em count! Don't give 'em a chance to reload!"
Use the last few shots in my pistol against the closest conquistador, and keep circling the outskirts of the battle. Take any chance to reload I can find.
OOC: Well, that escalated quickly. If only I could think of a way to apply either of those two tactics bonuses here. I rather doubt my ability to build an effective trench in a reasonable amount of time with two men.
I probably should have asked this before, but how feasible would it be to hit enemies with my sword whilst driving the spudmobile, or at least while aboard it. I don't find either very likely, but the latter might be nice if I have to have my soldier take the wheel. Also, I'm totally sigging this:
The Conquistadors only have the faintest idea of what the modern world is like when they are greeted by two hostile WWI Veterans riding on a giant potato; Welcome to 2016.
-
Inhoipzo... Execute nods, seemingly rapt by the other spirit's retelling of his history, and when he finishes, starts to speak.
"Oh, are you a fighter, then? I must say, I have quite a possibility for you, there lies a land, found through a magic portal, containing artefacts of immense power, those false spirits that came here who wielded weapons that could level buildings in seconds meerly had but a taste of the strength I assure you, if we went there together with our combined forces we would be able to crush that land and tacke their power for ourselves." He pauses then, finger to his chin in thought, before returning his gaze to the other spirit, "Or yourself, to be perfectly honest, I have no want of them, I just want to see the banner I stand behind to conquer.
I must ask, however, what were you doing so close to a volcano?"
It takes an actor to know an actor, roll for figuring out if he's lying about that whole spirit thing and a roll for trying to get him interested in invading where I want him to.
-
park my car in airport parking lot then take off head for conquistadors to kill them with planes guns
-

Compared to a lot of the other antics in this game, jousting with the Spudmobile is completely practical and counts as a normal roll if you have your companion drive it.
-
Follow after UR, shoot the conquistadors with my AR.
-
Complain about the lack of rest and move to the sound of gunfire to kill those bastards who interrupted such a nice dream
(BTW, can I use the Katana one handed without penalties?)
Normally yes, but I'll give you some wiggle room sine you are a trained martial artist so that cancels out the penalties. Just remember it is quite difficult to wield the Katana with one hand and it can easily be knocked out of your grasp.

Can I get wait listed?

Can I get wait listed?
Yes.

Round 36: Conquistador Calamity
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
High Tyrol parks her car in the parking lot of the airport and then detaches her biplane from her ground vehicle. She steps into her plane and takes off, steadily gaining in altitude in the direction of Denmark...
Hawk and Ukrainian Ranger make their way out from the eventful grocery store and walk the street until they find the source of the gunfire. While the Conquistadors are focused on trying to shoot at the two men riding around on what appears to be a gigantic potato, Hawk turns the corner and opens fire with his newly acquired AR15. (6 vs. 3) A quick burst-shot into the dozen soldiers hits one in the back, piercing right through his armor; he convulses and drops his weapons before falling to the ground, still alive however.
"Focus fire on my target! Keep firing, but make 'em count! Don't give 'em a chance to reload!" Person gives orders to the Buffalo Soldier as he pilots the mobile potato, making wide circular turns around the Conquistadors, effectively strafing them as bullets fly all around them. One of the Conquistadors manages to predict the movement of the potato and runs at a perpendicular angle to intercept and strike at its riders from the side with his blade. (10+2 vs. 1) Person reacts reflexively, almost in a trance-like state, as he pulls his pistol on the Conquistador without even looking in his direction, keeping his eyes ahead on the path of his vehicle. Person pulls the trigger and a single bullet enters the Conquistador's nose and exits out of his skull, ricochets off the back of his helmet and embeds itself in a different portion of his head. His body flops to the ground and two of his comrades adjacent to him freeze in place, making it effortless on Person's part to shoot them both in the neck with his remaining bullets, felling them instantly before making an equally smooth one-handed reload. [+3 Conquistador Points] The Buffalo Soldier, witnessing all of this, almost forgets to shoot with his rifle. [9 vs. 6] The WWI infantryman fires into the lower torso of a fleeing Conquistador who clutches his stomach and falls to the ground, bleeding out rapidly.
A few minutes earlier, Greatness had filled Hawk and Ukrainian in on the situation outside: "I just saw, like, 6 Spanish Conquistadors run down the street scared out of their wits...UR, you wanna go after 'em? I'll follow you." He now found himself behind a building while his two team members ran into battle. It's not that he wasn't in the mood for fighting, rather, he was using his newly acquired radio advice to get in contact with the same forces that had ambushed them earlier. Trying all of the available frequencies, Greatness receives no response, meaning that the Resistance must have abandoned their radios or completely fallen apart...until he gets a loud human response, "Assault Team! This is Sniper Team, we've engaged the enemy at the highway! The revolution is still alive!" The militia's yells are somewhat dampened by the sounds of gunshots.
Abstract reacts quickly, scanning his surroundings and trying to figure out just what's going on. [9] He doesn't see anything until he catches the glimmer of something in the hills next to the highway, the glimmer of a rifle! [7+2] Abstract drives around the ensuing chaos as cars are taken down around him, police officers leaving their vehicles to return fire and then being subsequently struck down. A splatter of blood hits the side of the car and elicits screams from all of his passengers. Abstract drives until the shooting is just a distant noise behind him and the lights of Green Bay are in the distance. The children are crying. The mother is sobbing. Autumn is silent but looks incredibly distressed.
At the meeting with Ihiyo-Conlati, Execute leans forward and makes something of an offer: "Oh, are you a fighter, then? I must say, I have quite a possibility for you, there lies a land, found through a magic portal, containing artefacts of immense power, those false spirits that came here who wielded weapons that could level buildings in seconds meerly had but a taste of the strength I assure you, if we went there together with our combined forces we would be able to crush that land and take their power for ourselves." He pauses then, finger to his chin in thought, before returning his gaze to the other spirit, "Or yourself, to be perfectly honest, I have no want of them, I just want to see the banner I stand behind to conquer.
I must ask, however, what were you doing so close to a volcano?"
Ihiyo laughs with either dismissal or nervousness (perhaps both?) when Execute speaks of this other world. "What need would I have of such a bizarre land? I have everything I need here: glory, wealth, women. I have no wish to waste my time with such absurdity."
In response to Execute's inquiry, "What was I doing next to a volcano? I was searching for obsidian of the highest quality obviously, to take back to the capital to be forged into a mighty sword for me. I had to leap over streams of boiling lava and avoid giant flaming rocks, but I easily got what I had come there for."
(Acting: 10+2) Ihiyo spontaneously decides to impress Execute with his ability to breathe fire and performs his unique technique of placing his open hand up to his lips and breathing fire through the hole. Execute begins putting two and two together; whenever Ihiyo breathed fire, it was always after consuming alcohol, a highly flammable substance. And upon closer inspection, in his right palm, wasn't that a match?
Ukrainian, groggy from her lack of sleep, takes out his frustration on the Conquistadors. She watches as Hawk shoots one down with his AR15, and makes him her first target. (2 vs. 9-2) U.R. dashes forward and jumps at the wounded soldier who reacts by flipping onto his back and pointing the tip of his sword right at Ukrainian directly above him. (6 vs. 8) Ukrainian changes her direction at the last second and falls to the side of the soldier to avoid being skewered, missing her opportunity to attack.
The Conquistadors continue to fire upon Person and his companion. (7 vs. 10) Fortunately, the potato is much too mobile for the slow-firing weaponry that the Spanish are equipped with. (3 vs. 5+1) Person fires at one of them and manages to knock a feather out of his helmet.
One of the Conquistadors, rather than fire at Person, turns his attention to Hawk. (2 vs. 8) He fires his Musket off and hits a car quite a far distance away from the politician. (5 vs. 7) Hawk responds with a single shot, a miss as well but much too close for the Conquistador's comfort.
The wounded Conquistador next to Ukrainian jabs his blade at her. (10 vs. 4) Ukrainian reacts too slowly and is punished by having his shortsword stab into her side, jamming through her liver and several arteries. He pulls it out and leaves her with a gaping bloody wound, her clothing turning bright crimson.
About four able-bodied Conquistadors are running now, hitting the road and making a beeline for the end boundaries of the city. Suddenly, a biplane appears! (5 vs. 5) High tyrol fires into the street, bullets further destroying the surrounding wreckage, but failing to hit any of the Conquistadors, who try to run even faster now.

Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.
Target:
Conquistadors Squad
Attributes: +1 Muskets, +1 Shortswords
Equipment: Muskets, Spanish Shortswords, Metal Armor
Status: 10/12 [1 Seriously Shot in Back, 1 Mortally Wounded w/ Stomach Shot]
Point Leaderboard:
Person - 3

Abstract breathes deeply gripping the steering wheel.
T-That....was....unpleasant.
try to calm everyone down and keep driving to greenbay also try to calm my rapidly beating heart as well.
-
Drive my snowmobile at full speed, and drive by grenade all the conquistadors
-
(Oh, looks like my luck ran away...)
Draw the katana and enter pain induced !!fury!!, giving katana strikes and kicks left and right starting from the wounded conquistador and moving to Person and his sidekick or Salsacookies depending on who is closer
-
Get to cover, keep firing upon the Spaniards.
-
Speaking English, I relay our location to the Snipers, before saying: "We're being attacked by Conquistadors, sooner rather than later, please!" Looking out from behind the building, I see UR's current state, and, switching to Japanese, say: "Nē! Dajji kore!"
Translation: "Hey! Dodge this!" To finish off, I then fire my AR-15 at the Conquistador attacking UR.
EDIT: If I can have it so my action changes then if UR kills the Conquistador attacking them, then I would like to change it to firing on Person.

(Geez, rolling a 12 against 1 sure is effective. It even let me reload? RNG liked me today. And execute too I suppose.)
(On an unrelated note, I decided to read through the posts of the first game in this thread just for fun's sake. There was apparently a mention of all warriors getting a universal translator chip in their brain or something in the next game because of reasons. Is that still the case? It hasn't really come up much, but hey. I guess it would have mattered more if we were in one of those 100 villager towns in Russia or something.)
"Nice shot. Onward! Keep them off our backs!"
Follow the fleeing conquistadors. Shoot anyone that gets close to the spud mobile, unless they promise cooperation or seem peaceful. Prioritize fellow warriors if they seem hostile, as they're probably the most dangerous.
Also I've decided to go back and label these now.
Graham: Welcome back to Wikipedia Warfare Report.
Van: Yes, welcome back. Are you ready to see the results the the quest system?
Graham: I know I was. Sorry about the wait, but without any further ado, let's begin.
Van: Almost all of our warriors have found themselves in combat with the conquistadors. Dad and his soldier have already downed a quarter of their number and crippled another. Our other combatants had better start trying to catch up, or eliminate their competitors by force.
Graham: A very strong start in this battle for Dad. However, they're lacking in heavy firepower, which could cause them to be overwhelmed with so many assault rifles and the like among our warriors. They might be best off quitting while they're ahead and lying low for a bit.
Van: However, if most of our warriors are still fixated on the conquistadors, they might also be served well staying around a while longer.
Graham: One thing is certain however, that first shot made for one heck of an instant replay. Got any favorites to talk about Van?
Van: Well, Salsacookies continues to be an enigma. With such a heavy weapon in their hands though, they could do a lot of damage to any target they choose. Woe betide anyone that makes an enemy of him while he still has ammunition.
Graham: A grenade launcher is a fairly powerful weapon. The fact that his has more than one shot per load is exceptional. Still, it is not without disadvantages.
Van: Right. Firing an explosive weapon at close range is ill advised, so any of said enemies should try to stay close or in deep cover. A snowmobile is a fairly fast vehicle though, which should remove most of that disadvantage in any event.
Graham: I can't help but wonder if they'll do anything with that river boat they've got docked somewhere. Perhaps some sort of mobile base?
Van: Not a bad idea. Anyway, I think we need to talk about the Grocery Gang.
Graham: That we do. Fate just has it out for Ranger as of late. They really need a doctor. Being this close to a combat zone with so many sides makes things highly dangerous for them in this condition.
Van: Yes, they're probably best off making a quick retreat once they finish their business. However, our resident samurai Greatness might be able to rack up quite the kill count here. Out of all our combatants, they're the least likely to need to make a retreat for any reason. If they make good use of their armor and regeneration here, they could tip the scales heavily in their favor. Hawk is doing well, but at least one member of team GG should probably devote some attention to protecting Ukranian Ranger, and Hawk might be the best candidate to do so.
Graham: As it turns out, the rebellion is still going strong. Greatness may be able to call for backup here, but they're rather busy over with ATH. Perhaps the rebellion could become a quest target in the future?
Van: That may be the case. Speaking of ATH, this continued evacuation of the city will probably make things difficult for newer warriors. Without anyone to recruit or buy things from, this place may rapidly become a ghost town. ATH has had almost nothing but misfortune since they arrived in Denmark. Still, once they make it out of the town, they should be able to make a clean slate.
Graham: Twinwolf, who has finally made their return might not even be able to find enough people left to move the Kartouwe, should they desire to.
Van: A lighter can be quite the effective tool. It may not be the best use of their time, but I eagerly await their plans.
Graham: What would you do in their situation?
Van: Well improvised weapons may be fairly useful. Molotov cocktails, for instance.
Graham: That's not a bad idea. It may take them awhile, but if they find enough time, they could simply craft some new equipment.
Van: High tyrol has finally made their entrance.
Graham: Excellent. They should be difficult to attack at such speed and height. Still, there's a fair few assault rifles, as previously mentioned.
Van: They are certainly well suited for taking down any stragglers. So, how about that revelation about Execute's recent acquaintance?
Graham: It came as quite the shock. However, given more thought, them being a fraud is actually not as surprising. Other than the results of Execute's power, the world they live in is largely mundane. Perhaps he should paint a room containing a laser sword, or a rocket launcher, and see what he finds inside.
Van: Technically, they may even be able to create life in this way. I wonder what would happen if he were to have a portrait created of himself by one of his many devoted followers?
Graham: That's a question I'd rather see unanswered. Anyway, with this revelation, continued alliance with this false god probably gives them no advantage. If they were to expose him, they could well earn the loyalty of another tribe. Still, it is all up to Execute. There are many courses of action they could take here.
Van: Perhaps they could convince him that wealth and women worth seeking lie beyond their portal. They might need solid proof to convince him of such a thing though.
Graham: Indeed. That ends this edition of WWR. You know where to find us. You'll always know. Won't you, you who watch. Watch from above, from below, from-
Van: Graham! Graham! Stop it!
Graham: Hm? What is it? Show's over right?
Van: You were doing that thing again.
Graham: What thing? Oh, that thing? Hold on, is this still airing?
Van: Yeah. Uh, just. Hold on a sec. Right. *click*
(I feel rather silly putting an ongoing plot into this. But boy do I have a terrible ongoing plot for you all. And by terrible I mean it'll take like 1 or 2 parts and result in very little. Wee)

That's still Canon, which is why Execute was able to easily communicate both with Native Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors.
-
Ah right, how did I forget about that?
-
kill the conquistadors with my plane I don't care if there is any collateral damage and if there are any easy shots at other players take them
-
Crap, I actually forgot that the Snipers were the ones attacking Abstract (re-read the turn). Then again, my character wouldn't know that (unless he does) so I'm keeping my action the same.
-
Sorry guys, I was sent off on camp a couple days ago, I'm back now, though, so that's good.
The Spirit Of Force gives an impressive show of wonder, and brushes himself off before standing up and turning to look the flase spirit in the eye.
"Well, I really must be going now, it has been quite fun speaking to you, however." He turns to leave, but then stops at the door, and speaks again.
"I feel I should warn you, from one spirit to another, do not lie to these people, tell them the truth, and you may be spared, either that, or you may fufill your duty as spirit, but lie, and I will fulfil my namesake, no matter how I may have gotten it, I'll give you one day to do so, or I will do it for you."
Okay, while he's thinking about that, talk to the our tribe leader about the third tribe, why do they hate us so much, and if there is anything that may be able to fix relationships between them.

Keep working on musket song.

Round 37: Conquistador Calamity Pt. 2
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Elephant Parade works tirelessly to perfect his Musket song while the crowd filters out around him, thinning as the song is adjusted and tweaked. (10+2) Like a bolt of lighting, inspiration strikes Elephant. With just a few adjustments to the melody and shifting the time signature, yes, yes! This will surely be a smash hit. He excitedly looks around his surroundings for an audience only to find that he is on his own, standing alone in a now deserted city of tents.
Ukrainian Ranger is infuriated by her wound instead of being stopped by it, and takes her anger out on the same Conquistador who inflicted it upon her. (9 vs. 6-2) The Martial Master roars while she jabs the blade of her Katana into the Conquistador, piercing through his armor and digging deep into his chest. She draws her blade out, blood pooling out around her target as he exsanguinates. [+1 Conquistador Point] Her face contorted into a glare of fury, she turns her attention to the other Wiki-Warriors, particularly Salsacookies who waits outside the main area of battle, loading up his Grenade Launcher. Ukrainian charges the snowmobile, Katana held high, (4 vs. 9) and her battle cry alerts Salsa to her presence. As she closes in, the Olympian accelerates his vehicle and swerves around her, Ukrainian's blade cutting through nothing but thin air. (5 vs. 3) Salsacookies drives by her on his way to the front of the battle, and frees up one hand to give her a solid jab to the stomach as he passes by, sending Ukrainian to her knees if only for a moment. (Endurance Roll: 6) Despite all of her blood loss, Ukrainian manages to stand back up, feeling more anemic than usual.
Execute decides to conclude his meeting with Ihiyo, "Well, I really must be going now, it has been quite fun speaking to you, however." Just before he reaches the great doors at the front of the temple, he pauses. "I feel I should warn you, from one spirit to another, do not lie to these people, tell them the truth, and you may be spared, either that, or you may fulfill your duty as spirit, but lie, and I will fulfill my namesake, no matter how I may have gotten it, I'll give you one day to do so, or I will do it for you." Execute doesn't even bother to stay around and listen to the "Great Spirit's" reaction before he spreads his wings and departs for home.
Tenochtitlan is the same as Execute remembers it when he returns; peasants toilet, soliders patrol, diplomats spread the word of his coming to far away lands. The (former?) Russian Prince visits the Emperor to discuss the relationship between the Aztecs and the Artawa, particularly interested in how it soured. "There is no point in trying to convert the Artawa people. They are savages and imbeciles, their hatred of us stems from our ability to defend ourselves from their vicious conquest. Perhaps you could call upon a spirit of plague to strike them down." The Emperor smiles at this last request, marking it clearly as a joke and not a serious demand of Execute.
Greatness relays his current position to the rebels on the other side of the radio, but all his attempts at contact are met with static. He turns to the battle, stowing the radio away and pulling out his own newly acquired AR15, pointing the barrel at the Conquistador who harmed his teammates, but Ukrainian swiftly takes care of that. He shifts focus to the two soldiers riding on top of a potato, gunning down the Conquistadors with reckless abandon. (7 vs. 1) Greatness takes his time lining up a shot, focusing down the sights and following the trail of the motorized starch until he has it down perfectly. He fires off a burst, failing to hit the driver, but directly hitting the gunner behind him who topples off of the vehicle and falls down on his back.
High Tyrol continues to keep her finger on the trigger of her machine guns, aiming to ruthlessly slaughter the fleeing Conquistadors. (8 vs. 7) The next volley of bullets manages to hit one of the runners, wounding him as he falls over clutching his leg, but failing to hamper any of the other 4 who continue to sprint their hardest. At this rate, if no one can stop them within a couple turns, they could get out of the city Scott-free!
Abstracts car idles on the side of the road as he stares out into the distance, breathing heavily. "T-That....was....unpleasant." With everyone calmed down, he drives into the city of Green Bay which is quiet this morning and calm, the whole city seeming completely unaware of what was happening just a few miles down the road. Abstract lets the mother and her children off at a designated drop off point, a gymnasium; she hurriedly thanks him under her breath without a smile before ushering her children into the building. Autumn stares at Abstract, he feels as if her piercing hazel eyes penetrate through her soul. "Ever since they decided to host that terrible game show in Wisconsin, things have been getting out of hand. First Denmark, then who knows, Green Bay? The whole state?" She sits forward with an elbow propped up on the dashboard, her closed hand resting on her head. "...we should get out of here and go somewhere nice, far away."
Salsacookies, having successfully shaken off Person, speeds right past the Conquistadors, aiming at them with one hand while his other hand guides the steering mechanism; turns out high-speed Grenade Launcher drives-bys aren't the easiest thing to pull off. (Explosives Roll: 3-1[Difficulty]) Rather than launching itself deep into the ranks of the Conquistadors, the first grenade embeds itself in the ground right next to Salsa. (5) The explosion knocks Salsacookie off of his Snowmobile which is sent accelerating off into the distance, the Barbell Hammer flies off and lands in a snowbank several feet away. Salsa, for his part, rolls across the snow like a ragdoll, though he remains alive, only now he is adorned with a big fragment of metal shrapnel embedded in his Left Elbow.
Hawk looks for cover, (2) and comes across a convenient waist-high pile of rubble, nice! Hawk runs up and presses his body against the pile of metal and brick; when faced with his physical force, the pile disintegrates, falling apart into its various components and leaving Hawk in an even worse position than he started out. Hawk shoots at more Conquistadors to rectify his problem of no cover. (4 vs. 2) Hawk sprays at a couple of the Conquistadors and hits one in the hand, forcing him to drop his Musket. Surely that counts for something?
"Nice shot. Onward! Keep them off our backs!" Person commends his companion as the Conquistador he had previously wounded expires. [+1 Conquistador Point] The Buffalo Soldier smiles, a rare sight from the jaded warrior, proud of the compliment he received from his commanding officer, "Thank you sir! I'll keep us going until-" The soldier's words are lost to the wind as falls from the Spudmobile. Unsure of what had just happened, Dad slows his vehicle to a halt and looks behind him; he spots his ally lying on the snowy soil, his eyes aimlessly staring upwards, his uniform turning a deep maroon and a smile now etched permanently on his face. Before his emotions take the better of him, Person's eyes dart to a single figure around fifty feet away dressed in Samurai gear and pointing a rifle straight at him. (1+2 vs. 5) The WWI Vet fires two bullets at Greatness, who ducks down and weaves to the left, unphased by the pistol fire. (6 vs. 4) There is a flash from the rifle and then Person feels a burning sensation on his chest; there is a gash through his left breast that has torn through his uniform, a long wound spilling his blood but thankfully superficial as it had skimmed across his chest rather into it.
3 Conquistadors remain in the lot they spawned in, preparing to fight off the Wiki-Warriors to the death.
One of the Conquistadors, witnessing Salsacookies great failure to kill them all which resulted self-inflicted harm, charges upon him with his unloaded musket. (2+1 vs. 6) The Spaniard takes his gun and swings the butt at Salsa, who's injury does not stop him from ducking under the attack. (7 vs. 1) Underneath his opponent, Salsacookies rises with an uppercut that smashes directly into the Conquistador's jaw, the full force of the muscle-man's hit is enough to send the Conquistador off of his feet and backwards onto the ground, laying unconscious.
The next Conquistador fires his just-reloaded musket at Ukrainian, alerted by her new enraged state where she swings at both Old and Modern people alike. (4 vs. 9) Ukrainian stands still for a moment, leading to the Conquistador to thinking that he got her, only for her to look over his shoulder and glare at him with a single bloodshot eye, indicating that he had failed to hit her at all, and has instead attracted her attention. He fumbles with his gear, dropping with his musket and trying to pull out his sword as the businesswoman comes barreling down on him. (2 vs. 4) In the nick of time, the Conquistador pulls his sword out and blocks a horizontal slash that could have very well taken off one of his legs.
The other 4 Conquistador continue to run as fast as they can, closing in on the city limits.
Breaking News: A group of criminals suspected to be linked to previous coordinated attacks on police in the region appeared again earlier today to intercept a police-escorted convoy transporting the refugees from the city of Denmark, struck yesterday by what is reported to have been a gas-pipe related disaster. The following shootout left 5 dead, including 3 police officers, and 15 wounded. None of the criminals were killed or arrested at any point, all of them escaping into the nearby forest area. While initially suspected to be a gang of four to six people, an attack of this magnitude has led authorities to believe that there are anywhere from twelve to twenty suspects. Residents are urged to stay indoors and report any suspicious activity.

Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.
Target:
Conquistadors Squad
Attributes: +1 Muskets, +1 Shortswords
Equipment: Muskets, Spanish Shortswords, Metal Armor
Status: 7/12 [1 Seriously Wounded w/Leg Shot, 1 Unconscious]
Point Leaderboard:

Alright, so, another proposal, this time a revision to existing Kill Absorption Rules: "When Kill Absorptions are calculated, they are rounded up rather than down, i.e. a 3 Kill Contestant is worth 2 Points, a 5 Kill Contestant is worth 3 Points, etc. I believe this more accurately reflects the value of players with higher kill counts and gives more reward for whomever is able to take them down. The average number of kills per player so far has been between 0 and 1 kills. Getting 1 kill can be a fluke, a stroke of luck, even two kills can be attributed to just the roll of the dice favoring one player over another. By the time someone reaches 3 Kills? It means that they have something going on, whether that be favorable skills or cunning strategy, whatever it is, they are racking up a lot of kills. A 3 Kill player represents more threat, and thus, more reward in targeting them. And by the time they reach 5 Kills? They are a substantial enough threat that they should be worth a whopping three Kills & Articles for yourself if you can figure out how to stop them.
I believe this also keeps the momentum going in the game. Under the originally rules, if a 1-Kill player took out a 5-Kill player, the former would become a 3-Kill; bigger and badder, certainly, but compare that to if they became a 4-Kill, likely becoming as powerful if not more than whomever they just slayed. Each and every Kill counts, not only in getting players to the coveted game-ending 10-Kill Spot, but because each new Article is a new opportunity for a fighter jet, projectile venom spit, and so on.
And yeah, I do want to get to the end of this game eventually so that we can have a nice shift in location.
What do y'all think?
Also, I'll make some clarifications on different types of reloading for ranged weapons. I'll label everyone's equipment accordingly and I'll stick this in the OP:
Types of Reloading:
Quick Reload - These weapons can be reloaded without a substantial time investment from their users. If your ranged weapon does not have its type of reloading specified next to it, assume it is a Quick Reload weapon. The only time a Quick Reload will greatly effect your gameplay is if it is done for some reason in close quarters combat, such someone engaging you in an ongoing fight while you are in striking range. If you try a Quick Reload while someone is close enough to say, take a free swing at you without needing to run at you first, they will get a free retaliating attack before you can finish reloading to commence with your own attack. Common Quick Reloading Weapons include most Handguns, Machine Pistols, SMGs, and Bows.
Moderate Reload - These weapons take longer than the previous type to reload, but the reload is fast enough to keep you in a fight. You can perform a Moderate Reload before shooting, but this will allow your opponent, regardless of their type of weapon, to counter-attack before you attack rather than afterwards. Common Moderate Reload Weapons include most Rifles, Muskets, Crossbows, and Flamethrowers.
Long Reload - The reloading for these weapons are very time intensive and thus you can not perform any combat during your turn. (If an enemy attacks you during their turn and are unsuccessful, you will still counter-attack.) As for other actions, you can perform quick actions while Long Reloading, such as diving for nearby cover, but you will not be able to do things like quickly sprint away or climbing. Common Long Reload Weapons include Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers, and Rocket Launchers.

Retreat to Hawk, hoping that he can stop the bleeding. Attack anyone who will try to stop me

Holy crap! Did I just kill the Buffalo Soldier with one volley? That's pretty cool, I must say. Also, sorry for the last two posts, I speed read, and that requires skimming sometimes.
I aim down my sights, and fire another 3 round volley at Person, as he's the closest target (I think). After firing, I take cover and attempt to use the radio to call The Police to our location, they should be able to spare at least one Officer to come over, right?
Also, that Kill Absorption change might work, it would be cool to see, at least.
-
That... May be possible, actually, check out the remaining ship, any bed-sheets or other articles of clothing available there?
No matter the answer, let's check out the other spirit, see how he's doing, bring along our faithful servant equipped with his dagger and musket, if the musket can fit inside his robes without drawing too much attention, bring him only by my side, if he can't, set him up in a good sniping position using my 2+ to military strategy while I meet the other spirit, if he's accepted what I said and told who he truly is to his people, then give him to the villagers for judgement, if he hasn't, challenge him to a battle of strength between us and us alone.
((Could seeing if I find any blankets or clothes in the ship and finding out if he's revealed himself for the fake he is be a free action?))

Free actions in the sense that you can complete them automatically without rolling? Yes.

Any suggestions where?
Ask this question in a questioning tone.

Sacrifice my suit to bandage UR. Also, shoot Conquistadors.

chase and gun down the fleeing conquistadors

"What!? No! Your death will not be in vain!"
Fire at Ukrainian Ranger to claim the kill. Get away from the battlefield in my vehicle. I'll reclaim his body later, and get my revenge.
Well damn. He sure got the red shirt treatment didn't he. Then again, that's about the result I would expect from a 7v1 roll.
I'd like that change to kill absorption by the way. As a side note, what was the verdict on important NPCs being worth kills? Pretty sure my soldier would have counted as one if that passed though. I might have opposed that, but if it went through I wouldn't want you to miss that sort of thing.
Edit: And here we are.
Van: Aaand welcome back to Wikipedia Warfare Report!
Unidentified Man: Is that what this is?
Van: The only place to get updated on the only sport worth watching.
Unidentified Man: Some sort of sporting show?
Van: Individual analysis of every combatant, examination of their tactics, and live updates on the state of the arena.
Unidentified Man: Combatants? Arena?
Van: Its all right here, on WWR.
Unidentified Man: Why am I even here? You just pulled me off the street!
Van: Graham apparently missed his medication. The TV in his apartment had that one instant replay on repeat indefinitely, and he must have forgotten. So, we've got a new co host with us here today. I'm really glad not to be the new guy anymore. What's your name?
Unidentified Man: Uh, Ted Sinclair?
Van: You don't seem sure of that. Is Ted a nickname?
Ted: No, no. Just a little confused here. That's my real name.
Van: Well, here at WWR we cover the Wikipedia Wars, and tell our viewers what's going on, and what we think of the situation.
Ted: Oh, the Wiki Wars. I think I've heard of those before.
Van: Now you've got it. So, pick a contestant. Any of them, really. Go ahead.
Ted: Well, Greatness942 seems to be doing well. They've already a kill, and they've taken down Dad's ally. Also, is Dad some sort of nickname?
Van: That's the guy on the giant potato. We'll get to him later.
Ted: Right so, Greatness and his team have been having a good run lately. Not Ukranian Ranger of course, but they should be able to survive with some medical aid.
Van: Right you are. What would you recommend they do next?
Ted: They really need to focus on one thing at a time. A little coordination would help them greatly.
Van: I think you're right. Their attention is quite divided here. One is going after dad, another charges at Salsacookies, and the last is fighting the conquistadors. Strength in numbers is nice, but splitting up doesn't often end well. Is there anyone else that interests you?
Ted: Well you did say we would get to Dad?
Van: Right you are. No patience eh? Well, Dad was doing fairly well up until they lost their companion. They're still well in the lead with conquistador points, but the loss of a fellow soldier, along with his gun is a great one.
Ted: Yeah, the fact that he's fallen off their vehicle will make things difficult, especially if someone else takes his gun.
Van: Dad has two priorities right now. One: Get to safety. Two: Reclaim his fallen soldier's body, or at least his equipment.
Ted: He's very much outgunned in this area, even without that biplane over head.
Van: Ah yes, speaking of that biplane, I'm glad to see High tyrol has entered the action. As long as they stay high in the sky, there's not really much any of our combatants can do against her.
Ted: Well, the plane is only made of wood. It would take quite the shot to hit it, but if someone manages to do so, it won't be pleasant.
Van: Our warriors are very much lacking in anti-air weaponry. Any grounded warriors in the area, which is to say all but one of them, would do well to make use of cover.
Ted: If you have to try to shoot the plane down, rate of fire is probably better than individually powerful shots.
Van: Right you are. So, do you have an opinion about ATH?
Ted: Well, I'm a bit mystified. Surely they knew what they were getting into? If so, why did they take such a method?
Van: Maybe they just wanted a story to tell their friends? Or they really just wanted to help. I guess there really are good people in this world.
Ted: I suppose. So what's this about Salsacookies? That's quite the name.
Van: Well, their belongings have been scattered about the battlefield now. What they try to do first will dictate their strategy. Do they treat their arm? Try to get their vehicle back? Go for that makeshift hammer?
Ted: Well, they better choose quickly. Personally I'd see if the vehicle still works. If it does, they can just do the rest of those things later. If not, they'll know they can't rely on it to escape, which would make their arm a higher priority.
Van: Hmm. You're quite good at this. You're hired.
Ted: Well, I guess I did need a new job.
Van: We'll get the paperwork done with later. I think we've covered quite enough today, don't you think?
Ted: Uh sure. I mean, I guess I've got somewhere to be soon. It was a job interview, but I guess this works too.
Van: I'm Van Harrison, this is Ted Sinclair.
Ted: We'll see you next time? *click*
(The plot thickens. Basically Graham has been watching/commentating the wars so long (even before I was showing that they did so) that he went a little bit insane. I've always tried to write him in a sort of "too cheery about this" manner, and I probably completely failed but oh well. Anyway, there's some bits where I felt like "if I had 3 announcers, I'd be able to make this part better". Two people bouncing off each other is nice, but 3 could make things more interesting. So yeah Graham will be back next time. I thought this a good way to get a third person into the mix, even if it might be a sub optimal way of doing so.)

I never implemented it since it wasn't popular among players who commented on it.

((To be completely honest I think my character has honestly forgotten their a wiki warrior and is literally just living his life now.))
-
(If you're referring to my mentions of you in the AAR's, just know that I'm not trying to disparage you or anything. Honestly, don't take anything I say in character too seriously. I'll probably stop covering you in those unless you change your mind or something. But really, your participation in this is actually kind of a neat way to get a lay man's view of the situation. If our characters actually meet, I'll probably try to form a truce of some sort.)
-
((No I'm being serious in character he has kinda forgotten due to everything that's been happening I'm not offended at all and you can keep including me in the aars.))
-
Alright, enough faffing about. Let's go try to find someone who seems to be using unnatural powers (I.E. Another participant.)
-
I shall now commence the knocking out of conquistadors!
-
(Hey, TCM, quick question. Since it pertains to the game, I'll put it in the thread, for future reference I'll PM stuff like this. Who can I call with my Radio? I mean, there's the revolution, and apparently the Police, but who else can I contact through the Radio, like maybe Cars in the area?)
EDIT:Reworded the original version of the question to make more sense.

Round 38: Shark in Sheep's Clothing
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Twinwolf, after spending a considerable amount of time loitering around in a gas station, makes his way deeper within the town, searching specifically for those with abilities equally unnatural as his own, or perhaps even more bizarre. In the distance he can hear the gunshots indicative of either gang violence or the convergence of multiple Wiki-Warriors. If multiple competitors were around, that would exponentially increase the chance of finding someone with supernatural abilities, but if a fight was going on it also increased the odds of him getting in the crossfire. He remains at a distance, taking the backroads and alleyways to avoid being seen which might prompt an attack. Peeking out of one of these alleyways, he watches the desperate struggle of Renaissance Age soldiers fending off against fellow tournament participants armed with modern firearms, it appears to be a one-sided fight. At the moment, there are no superpowers on display, except for a man riding on top of a potato which at best odd and not supernatural. Twinwolf is able to see in the midst of the fighting a painting lying on the ground, exuding a purple glow, not something a normal painting would do. He gets a hunch that this painting may be one of the most magical things in his surroundings...
Greatness gets down on a single knee and props the butt of his rifle against his shoulder, his position optimal for accurate shots. (5 vs. 4) Another shot, another superficial wound as one of the bullets finds Dad, just barely grazes the skin off of his right cheek, had the bullet come just an inch to the left Greatness's jaw would have been destroyed. (8+2 vs. 9) Person aims his pistol to the best of his ability and fires off an accurate and equally damaging retaliating shot that might have gone straight through his heart had it not hit his armor in just the right way that it would be absorbed, the Samurai would fell something smash into his chest and stop just short of bodily penetration. Following this, Greatness runs away and (6) takes cover behind a car carcass while using his Radio to contact the police; he only gets static and indeterminable chatter, are they just as tied up as the militia?
Execute ruminates on the Emperor's joke about the 'Spirit of Plagues', which inspires him to take a trip down to the captured Spanish Warship. Indeed, in the sleeping areas there are still the recently used blankets and bed spreads of the explorers, hopefully coated in all of their civilization-destroying pathogens. They could be used in the future, but he would have to be very careful; his immune system could tolerate the contents of the materials, but exposing them to the Aztecs could be ruinous.
Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal brings along Yuri, now the Aztec High Priest, on another visit up North to the Texcocan Tribe. Yuri is armed with his Dagger, and while he couldn't conceal a Musket, a Conquistador's Pistol could fit right in his robes. (+Conquistador's Pistol) Upon their arrival, the two search for Ihiyo, the patron spirit of the Texcocan Tribe, but find him nowhere. The tribespeople they question say that Ihiyo vanished yesterday without a word, and hasn't been seen since.
Ukrainian begins backing away from the fight and towards Hawk who she relies upon for medical aid. She still has a Conquistador out for blood attacking her, and has to disable him for long enough that she can get away without having a sword to her back. (4 vs. 10) Ukrainian thrusts the Katana at her attacker in the aims of putting some distance between the two of them, only to have him step forward and parry her blade, knocking it away and actually closing in on her. (3 vs. 1) He swings his blade at her and she is able to awkwardly block, but this leaves her completely open to his following attack, a punch from his free hand to her face, striking her in the already bruised nose to break it. Ukrainian stumbles backwards; deciding that she is on the losing side of this fight for now, she flees with Conquistador hot on her tail. (9) Despite her skin growing pale to the amount of blood she is losing, Ukrainian sprints at full speed towards Hawk.
High Tyrol continues making shooting practice out of the Conquistadors, having already badly wounded one of them. (5 vs. 8) This time, she fails to hit any, though she does manages to fill some buildings with enough lead that their store fronts are now beyond repair; if there were points for property damage she would be racking them up fast.
Abstract asks Autumn where she would want to go. She puts a finger to her lips, "Like um...Chicago, New York, San Francisco. Somewhere where we could have a future, I could keep working on getting into acting and you could do what you want to do. What is your dream exactly?" She asks, sliding her back against the car door. Autumn bites her lip, it's quite cute.
Hawk watches as Ukrainian runs towards him, a sword-wielding Conquistador coming up right behind her. He intervenes, putting his AR15 up and (1 vs. 2) wasting ammo on the air. This failed shot allows the Conquistador another free attack on Ukrainian, (9 vs. 10) swinging his blade at her; fortunately she reacts fast enough and ducks, some strands of hair coming free of her head as the sword swings through. Hawk risks some more shots, he won't be able to work on Ukrainian if some Spanish guy is stabbing at them with a sword while he's operating. (5 vs. 2) This time works out a lot better, one bullet to the hand and the Conquistador drops his weapon, giving U.R. enough time to meet up with Hawk, who takes off his expensive suit to improvise as bandaging material, slimming down to just a long sleeved workshirt with a tie and his formal pants. (Medical: 2+2) The suit isn't enough to stop the bleeding, it turns out that since it was designed to be filled with many small holes to allow air through to make its wearer more comfortable, it makes for a poor surface to stop the flow of blood. Ukrainian looks like she is in poor shape. If he doesn't manage something fast, this could be it. [Very Heavy Bleeding -> Mortal Bleeding]
"What!? No! Your death will not be in vain!" Person grieves at the loss of his comrade, shouting over the gunfire exchange between himself and Greatness. When Greatness ducks out of sight, Person turns his gun towards a new target, Ukrainian Ranger as she receives medical assistance from Hawk. (10+2 vs. 2) A single effortless bullet, and Ukrainian's brain matter splatters all over Hawk; she dies instantly in his arms in a scene that could draw comparison to JFK's limp body in the embrace of his wife. Person lowers his gun and looks upon his kill feeling somewhat avenged.
Person has vengance'd Ukrainian Ranger!
+Article: Fred Carr: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Carr) +2 Tackling, +1 Throwing, +Metal Disk, +Metal Sphere, +Football Helmet
Salsacookies lunges at the only uninjured Conquistador who had stayed to fight, (7 vs. 5) and gives him a right hook to the neck. The Conquistador falls over, clutching at his new painful injury.
Hawk has little time to mourn over Ukrainian as the Conquistador he had just shot has now retrieved his shortsword with his good hand and resumed charging. He runs up and Hawk backs off as the Spaniard attacks Ukrainian, unaware that Person had killed her moments ago; he thrusts her sword into her chest, further mutilating her corpse and changing her status from "Definitely Dead" to "Really, Really Dead". Occupied with his "kill", the Conquistador fails to realize that Hawk is standing by him with an assault rifle at point-blank range. (9+2[Point Blank] vs. 5) Those Conquistador Helmets turn out to be very ineffective against AR15 fire; the recipient falls and slumps over U.R.'s body. [+1 Conquistador Point]
The Conquistador that Salsa just manhandled attempts to shoot him while laying on his back, one hand still clutching his neck. (2-2 vs. 5) Salsa easily kicks the Conquistador's pistol away, sending it into the snow far out of reach. (3 vs. 10-2) Salsacookies gives the Conquistador a good kick in the ribs; this does not go well as he sends his barely protected foot into hard metal. Salsa curses loudly as he hops around on his good foot, giving the Conquistador enough time to shake off the pain and get back to his feet.
The other Conquistador in the combat area is still unconscious.
The remaining Conquistador's, sans the one that High Tyrol had shot and who just bled out, (+1 Conquistador Point) all continue making a beeline to the edges of the town, so single-mindedly focused on their goal that fail to realize that they will soon cross paths with Twinwolf, that is, if he steps out of the Alleyway to intercept them. If left unimpeded, any of the four could exit Denmark borders next turn, causing everyone involved in the Quest to lose!
There was something else about NAV when he arrived. Perhaps it was the fact that while many people came to the tournament dressed in their finest suits or dress, or at least some nice casual wear, NAV's clothes looked like something made after a long day of dumpster diving. It could also be the medal on his right breast that was only given out during the Spanish-American war, which he most likely did not fight him. Still, he felt like a fish out of water...something fishy. Could it be his innate ability to turn into a giant shark? Or was it that he just smelled funky?
NAV has come for the Seafood!

Conquistador Catastrophe
A dozen New World Conquistadors have found themselves in an even Newer World. Even if their technology is old-school, their cohesion and fighting ability is not. Can any of our Wiki-Warriors take them down?
Conditions:
*Kill the Conquistadors before they get out of Denmark! If left totally unimpeded, they could exit the town's borders in 3-4 turns. If a single Conquistador escapes, the Quest immediately ends with no winner.
*The winner of this Quest is the player with the most Conquistador Points after they have all been killed; One Conquistador = One Conquistador Point. Converting a Conquistador to your side counts as a "Kill". In the case of a tie, whoever gets the final kill is considered the winner.
Target:
Conquistadors Squad
Attributes: +1 Muskets, +1 Shortswords
Equipment: Muskets, Spanish Shortswords, Metal Armor
Status: 6/12 [1 Seriously Wounded w/Leg Shot, 1 Unconscious]

(Hey, TCM, quick question. Since it pertains to the game, I'll put it in the thread, for future reference I'll PM stuff like this. Who can I call with my Radio? I mean, there's the revolution, and apparently the Police, but who else can I contact through the Radio, like maybe Cars in the area?)
EDIT:Reworded the original version of the question to make more sense.
You weren't able to get through to the police, maybe you would have if they hadn't just come under fire by a group of secessionists. Later, after everything blow over and assuming nothing else comes up where they aren't attacked or distracted, then you could manage something more.
If you experiment with the different wavelengths, you could definitely find something. Maybe it will be all static, but who knows until you give it a shot?
-
Okay, thinking time, he could have left silently, ashamed of his pretending to be a spirit, he could be planning to ambush me, or...
...He could be going to try to fufill his story, and go up to the volcano.
Hey, TCM, was this guy native?

Murder Person. Fill him with lead.

Looking out onto the battlefield, I see UR's death. Mourning will have to wait, as I aim another 3 round burst toward...anyone, really. One of the Conquistadors, Person, Salsacookies, anyone who seems to have an opening I can exploit. Afterwards, I take cover behind the car, and try out different wavelengths to see who I can contact.
NAV's back, and he's a Great White with a FAMAS? Nice! Welcome back.

Focus all my efforts on escaping this battle. If I can, reload my pistol and follow the conquistadors. However, if there's too many warriors in the way, my life is more important than winning the quest.

Okay, ask the natives if there happens to be some sort of large volcano in the vicinity, if there is, go to it and start looking for a small, man sized speck on the volcano using my flight, perhaps on the bottom section, or even the lip of the volcano, if he can't be seen, begin flying in closer until the heat becomes dangerous, is he there?

Well, I guess it has been long enough that I'd rather give this one a new post.
Van: Welcome back to Wikipedia Report. Graham's back.
Graham: Uh, sorry about that. It won't happen again, I promise. Now who's this other guy? Are you replacing me?
Van: Well, you recently gave me that promotion, so I'm allowed to hire people now. Given your absence, I had to find someone.
Ted: Ted Sinclair. So why were you missing again?
Van: Ahh what a kidder right?
Graham: Let's just let that stay in the past. So, what did I miss while I was on er, probation?
Ted: Quite a bit actually.
Van: Well, this turn marks the end of a long and fairly successful run for Ukranian Ranger. The grocery gang is down to two members.
Ted: Dad's want for revenge might put a few holes in their plans.
Graham: Well, its still 2 versus one isn't it?
Van: True, but Dad has been making good progress in this battle of the war. He may be outnumbered and outgunned, but if he's given time to regroup he should be able to make quite the mark on his competition.
Ted: If Greatness and Hawk focus their fire as suggested previously, there's very few warriors that count stand against them.
Graham: They might want to consider aiming for structural components of Dad's vehicle. His mobility is currently his only major advantage, and taking that away may be critical for victory. Now then, let's move onto someone else.
Van: Well, High tyrol is still raining down fire onto the area. No one seems to want to prioritize them as a target, despite that they've claimed a kill on a conquistador.
Ted: Speaking of those conquistadors, our warriors are running out of time to finish the quest.
Graham: It'd kind of be a shame if the first quest in the war ended in failure. It doesn't seem like our warriors want to work together on it though. Management figured the quest system would cause more conflict, and look where we are. This seems like a clear cut success to me on that account.
Ted: I can't deny that. How about an update on the world inside the painting?
Van: Execute must have sent the impostor into a panic. Where are they hiding? Or perhaps they were executed in secret?
Ted: Seems like Execute's words have had quite the effect.
Graham: Are they actually concerned for him though? Perhaps they're simply angered at their position being mocked.
Ted: That doesn't sound right. However, Twinwolf has found their painting, and there's no telling what that might mean for the future. Will they tell the other combatants their suspicions? Sneak in alone? Both possibilities have merits, them being unaware of the painting's true purpose.
Graham: They might just turn their attention elsewhere. They're in a dangerous location, and are likely unprepared for what's inside, in addition to the surrounding conflict. Then again...
Van: What is it?
Graham: Since they're in a place with a lot of targets, it might just be the ideal time to use that chocolate bar.
Ted: Oh! And High tyrol is in the air!
Van: You're right Graham. But will Twinwolf make that connection too?
Graham: That's the real question isn't it? Anyway, let's move on to our less battle hungry warriors.
Van: But what about Salsacookies?
Ted: Well they're keeping steady, and slowly pushing back against the conquistadors. That's more than some of our warriors can say. But like Graham says, let's move on.
Van: Elephant Parade has quite the song prepared. All that remains is finding an audience, it seems.
Ted: Not the most conventional use of a weapon, but it certainly shows their resourcefulness.
Graham: Every skill has a use, even if it isn't apparent. If they're able to get a sizable amount of money out of this venture, it may well be worth their time.
Van: They seem to have lost their horse in the commotion though.
Ted: That's certainly a problem. They need every advantage they can get. So, how about our new warrior?
Graham: Nav is extremely well armed and equipped, and their skills and abilities are impressive as well. Let's start with their equipment.
Van: First up is an assault rifle, and one with a larger than normal amount of ammo capacity.
Graham: That's always a welcome thing. Any gun is welcome in the wars, and one like that is practically the top of the line.
Ted: They've also got a car, and the know-how to drive it.
Graham: Transportation is important. The medal is far less likely to be relevant, but it could potentially be sold to a proper owner.
Van: Their clothing leaves much to be desired though. It might detract from any first impression they make. That's just me though.
Ted: I think their skills make up for that. They can always find something better.
Graham: Scavenging is an absurdly powerful skill. It seems they knew what sort of battlefield they would arrive at.
Van: Demon hunting is probably less useful, but you never know what will happen in the Wiki Wars. On the other hand, Guerrilla Warfare is probably one of the more useful types of warfare in the Wiki Wars, and it should serve them well.
Ted: The remaining skills of landscape painting, war, poetry, and chess will probably see less use, but still have reasonable applications.
Graham: I see we've saved the best for last. This man can turn into a shark!
Van: That form even offers a powerful healing ability. It might even be better than Hawk's healing.
Ted: I somewhat doubt the effectiveness of this form, but its too damn awesome not to like.
Graham: Denmark, Wisconsin has a fair few rivers. Salsacookies certainly has a boat moored here.
Van: They may be able to use this form as a way to make a quick escape, in a pinch.
Graham: Unless that form is permanent, they've got a powerful tool to make use of. It also depends on how injuries are transferred when he transforms.
Ted: Regardless of all that, NAV is already someone to watch. That's everything for now, I think.
Graham: Yes. That concludes this session of Wikipedia Warfare Report. You know where to find us.
Van: Much better.
Ted: See you next time.
(Side note, Elephant Parade's horse appears to be missing. Just thought I'd point that out, but I'm pretty sure its intentional. Mostly saying this for Elephant's benefit. Also, High tyrol's conquistador point wasn't added to the relevant spoiler, though I doubt it'll matter unless they gun down all 4 fleeing conquistadors at once. Hey, it could happen.)

((Just gonna mention this, the only reason I made that little speech towards that other guy was because I literally couldn't be bothered with challenging him to a duel or trying to spread rumors amongst the populace, since both carried risks, so instead I just went with a safe bet that I would leave simmering while I went about with other tasks.))

Round 39: Expert Marksmanship
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Hawk does not emotionally process Ukrainian's death, it is pure instinct and reflexes that drive the movement of his gun's barrel pointing from where the Conquistador once stood to Person's mobile position. (6 vs. 3) Hawk sprays and is rewarded as a bullet finds the flesh of Person's foot.
Elephant Parade literally seeks out his crowd as he sets out upon the evacuation path they had taken. The road is silent and lonely for most of Elephant's journey, until he both spots and hears the massive traffic up ahead. Running forward to locate the source of the hold-up, Elephant discovers the evacuation party, or what's left of it. Cars, civilian and police, are strewn all over the road. Discordant cries and screams, medical personnel running around attending to the wounded. Some of the bodies have already been covered up. The scene is eerily similar to the status of the emergency site in Denmark when Elephant had first arrived.
Abstract asks Autumn if she wants to go get her stuff and she enthusiastically agrees. Abstract lets her off at her apartment, aiding her in taking her belongings down to the car; she only brings what she deems necessary, even if it is already a modest amount of materials she started with. After it is all packed away, Abstract suggests that they go to New York City. "I'm ready if you're ready." She embraces her companion, standing on her toes to meet him for a sweet kiss. (+Autumn's Belongings [$2,000, Portable Television, Dresser, Various Essentials])
Execute and Yuri begin their search for Ihiyo, asking the Texcocans if there are any volcanoes in the nearby vicinity. They are given directions to the nearby active Frothing Mouth, a thin volcano that oozes with potent lava. Execute take to the air while Yuri stays on the ground and encircles it, both of them searching for the proclaimed Great Spirit. Several hours later, with the sun laying low in the horizon, Ihiyo has not been located. Execute and Yuri retire back to the village, sweaty and tired.
After he catches his breath, Yuri pitches his two cents, "I think he may have gone somewhere else. What if that story about the volcano was pure nonsense, like everything else he had said?"
Greatness, in a similar state of grieving to Hawk, channels his rage and sadness into violence. He swings his gun around, choosing a target seemingly at random; he stops on the last remaining Conquistador. (1 vs. 10) In his intense grief, Greatness neglects to use proper form on his gun. Holding it loosely, he pulls the trigger and the recoil sends the gun out of his hands (AR15: Dropped), (3) and ends up firing into his own stomach area. Regeneration might save Greatness, but is not prevent him from being winded and badly hurt by taking a shot to the gut that penetrates his armor. He clutches his bleeding wound, limping away, and going behind a building where he slumps into a sitting position. Even his impairment does not stop him from experimenting with different wavelengths on his portable radio. (5) He manages to find a cluster of wavelengths belonging to long-distance truck drivers, could they be useful somehow?'
Person feels his foot get shot, blood splattering onto the side of his beautiful vehicle; the wound wouldn't be a big deal at the moment, but if he had to step off of his ride it would mean trouble. And at this point he was getting tired of getting shot at, sure, it was nothing serious, but all of these minor wounds could quickly become serious if he got too many of them. When he witnesses Greatness shooting himself in some sort of bizarre accident, he takes the opportunity to steer his potato away from the combat and drive off towards the road. (4) He makes it away from the main lot where the fighting was taking place and gets on the road, the slippery, icy conditions of the road force him to slow up some, creating further distance between himself and the fleeing Conquistadors. Dad tries his hands at long-distance accuracy, holding his pistol out with both hands and taking careful, single shots. (1-1[Long Distance] vs. 8) The very first shot Person takes ricochets off the side of a building and comes flying back at him, (5) and hits him in the ankle right above where he had just been shot. To make things even better, that shot jammed his pistol.
In the ensuing chaos, Salsacookies runs for his Barbell Hammer, the Conquistador that Greatness failed to shoot (or even fail to shoot at) chases him down. (Agility: 7 vs. 10) The Conquistador is surprisingly swift, coming from behind Salsa and swinging his blade at the Olympian's backside, (1 vs. 4) utterly missing and stumbling, giving Salsa plenty of time to recover his improvised weapon. (8-2 vs. 1) Because of his wound, Salsa is forced to use mainly one hand to wield the giant weapon, which fails to do much damage as he swings into the Conquistador, merely smashing his ribcage with such force that the bones jam into all of the squishy organs they were built to protect. The Conquistador dies too quickly to appreciate the anatomical irony. [+1 Conquistador Point]
High tyrol, the last hope for the success of this Quest for anyone, makes one last gun-run on the remaining Conquistadors. (5 vs. 6) The machine gun bears down upon the runners, it would take only a couple seconds to tear all of them to pieces, and yet all of them remain whole as Tyrol passes by, cursing to herself.
NAV, the new guy in town, cruises around the streets, casually passing by the bodies and ruins that litter the place, looking for anything of use. (8+2) Among the rubble he spots the remains of a BMW crashed into a wall, but otherwise it was in fine condition. Rolling up to it, he looks inside to see that the bodies inside are still fresh and likely loaded with whatever they were carrying. It would be grossly indecent to loot the contents of the car and the people inside, but it's not like they needed the stuff any longer.
The fleeing Conquistadors cross a sign designating the city limits of Denmark, Wisconsin. The four of the survivors hoop and holler, jumping with glee as if they had found a trove of Aztec Treasures. They never cease to stop moving as they run down the road.
Meanwhile, (10) the previously unconscious Conquistador, unaware of his comrades victories, wakes up and quickly gets to his feet, quickly alert.

((That's two of my characters who have successfully kissed their waifu though this one was more normal. Other one was a romance between a human favoured soul female masochist and a half snake tsundere princess))
Kiss her passionately! Then begin driving to new York turn on the radio to a nice song.
((I think this guy will never die))
-
Like a true samurai. 8)
While regenerating, I think about everything that's happened, when I realize something, Salsacookies. Hawk's still there, and while Salsa's thinking about turning another Conquistador into a smoothie, he will realize someone else is there, so it's time for the noble thing. I wait to finish regenerating, then I queue up, waiting for the right moment to charge at Salsacookies with my Katana.
Also, Abstract...nice.
-
Like a true samurai. 8)
While waiting to regenerate, I concentrate when I remember something, my old Helmet! Grasping onto straws, I attempt to see if the combination of the Chemicals used to power the device, and exposure to the devices capabilities have given me any residual Psychic Powers. If anyone other than Hawk comes over to me, stop concentrating on powers I may or may not have, and slice them up with my Katana.
I'm going to go ahead and say that the cool helmet has no imbued you with long lasting abilities. :P
Go kill some people and then maybe you'll get more cool magic powers.
-
Alright, well, it was worth a shot. :-\ I'll alter my action to be more Awesome! 8)

May i join the madness?

"It likely was, I just hoped that... My words had given him resolve, will, to fufill his name.
I wanted to think I had done something positive."
The spirit started to stare into the horizon, before shaking himself off, and returning to his focused glare.
"Whatever, no time to fall into thought, it is time for action!
Alright, I shall stay in this village, start slandering his name, see if I can stir up some controversy, you are to take those tainted bedcloths and put fruit and the like in it, as a pouch, then go to the other village proclaiming yourself as an ambassador for the [False fire-breathing spirit's village], taking those in as a gift, if you get in, try to figure out if any of them know where that man has gone, I could use evidence of his treachery to soil his name."
He turns to leave, before turning around, something occuring to him.
"And please do be careful not to let any of our allies go near the sheets or touch anything that touched the sheets beforehand if you're going to get the gifts from them? I don't think our tribe would appreciate it if the "plague spirit" I called down targeted them."
PLAN B GO.
-
Fly back to airport and refuel plane then start writing a poem about ww2 dogfight

Well, not that we've been brought together... smash Person's skull in!
-
May i join the madness?
Sure.
-
If there's still any hostiles around (that means anyone but Greatness), shoot. Otherwise reload. Take UR's katana afterwards.
-
What am I waiting for, scavenge away! Not like they need it anymore.
-
Heal my leg by whatever means necessary.
-
Uh, do we know what caused the damage? I skimmed the turn, but I didn't see any actions that would have caused it.
...Offer my aid, I guess? I don't have medical training, but there might be something I can do.
-
The gist of it is that some of the remaining members of Nunzillor's rebellion attacked that place a little while back.

Round 40: The Last Conquistador
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
NAV, without a hint of moral guilt, opens up the crashed car and loots the bodies inside. (+$595, +Fancy Watch, +2 Wedding Rings, +Gold Necklace, +Various Credit Cards) He finds little in the way of practical devices like weapons and cools, but it holds a literal treasure trove of valuables, and there's no one to watch him as far as he can see.
Person swings his right leg on top of the saddle to look at it, and it doesn't look too great at the moment. (Medical: 4) Person rips off his pants that conceal his lower right leg and ties the fabric around the wound in an attempt to minimize the bleeding. It does stint the flow for the moment, but it feels like it's not going to stay on for long, as the absorbent material is quickly getting heavier and heavier with the amount of blood seeping out of Dad. The bleeding in his ankle stops however, but the actually detrimental wound remains. [Right Ankle Bleeding Cured]
Greatness sits at the building, waiting for his body to heal him up. Since it's a gradual and non-immediate process, it doesn't completely fix his wounds by it lessens its severity. [Heavy Bleeding -> Moderate Bleeding] When his bloodflow slow down, he stands and walks back into the lot, watching Salsacookies standing over the Conquistador, Barbell Hammer in hand. With his focus on another target, Greatness runs at Salsa from the side, sprinting at full speed and then taking a large Katana swing. (9+3 vs. 3) Greatness's blood leaves a trail in the snow under him when he meets Salsacookies, the Olympian noticing him and lifting his hammer to block. Greatness, a skilled Samurai, fakes out at the last moment, switching from a slashing attack to a stab as he thrusts the blade several inches into Salsa's chest. Salsacookies looks down as he feels the smooth metal pierce deeply inside of his chest. He drops the Hammer.
Elephant Parade rushes to the scene of the disaster, looking around to aid these people. Spotting an unattended unconscious man on the ground, Elephant kneels over him; he doesn't have any professional medical training, but maybe some improvised CPR will work here. (Medical: 7, Successes) Elephant spends several minutes performing mouth-to-mouth and chest presses with no response, when the man gasps and returns to the world of the living. "W-what's going on?" The man is panicked, obviously unaware of the current situation, or he had received enough trauma to cause him to forget. Police officers and emergency responders weave around him and Elephant.
Abstract puts his arms around Autumn and reciprocates with a deep passionate kiss, what a nice beginning to a new life for the both of them. The two hold hands as they go to the car and drive off, leaving Green Bay for the shining bright lights of New York City. Abstract puts on a warm, sunny pop song as they merge onto the highway. The driving is pretty something going east.
Salsacookies is furious; once he won this competition, he was planning on competing in the Summer Olympics, and having a Katana thrust into his heart was really going to mess up his training schedule. Even with this very fatal wound, Salsa is able to shock Greatness as he reaches forward and grabs the Samurai's neck, maintaining an iron grip in a position where a normal person would have fallen immediately. (2+2 vs. 8 ) Struggling against the massive hand around his throat and being lifted into the air, Greatness lets go off his Katana still embedded in Salsa's torso and reaches for his side. As Greatness kicks his legs around and gasps for air, the weightlifter grins vindictively, believing that even in his death he will have vengeance. What he fails to notice is Salsa pulling out his Wakizashi with a single hand and swinging it into his left arm. Salsa drops the Samurai in pain and shock, grasping at his new wound. Greatness lands on his feet, and swings once more, (6+3 vs. 3) cutting his entire waistline apart. This final blow is enough to send Salsa to his knees, his entrails spilling upon the ground. Greatness takes no pity on the whimpering giant, pulling the Katana out of his chest and kicking him down onto his back, watching the final bits of life escape from his body.
Greatness has cut down Salsacookies!

High tyrol slumps in her seat, disappointed that she has failed the Quest despite leading the scoreboard. She turns her plane around and heads back to the airport, setting it down next to a fueling station. She exits and begins the refueling process; while waiting, she begins to write a poem on the subject of WWII Aerial Combat. (4+2) It's not her favorite piece so far, but it would be suitable for a open mic night at a local cafe. (+Standard Quality WWII Dogfighting Poem)
"It likely was, I just hoped that... My words had given him resolve, will, to fufill his name. I wanted to think I had done something positive." Execute stares off into the horizon as Yuri shrugs, "You did all that you could, there is no hope to a man who turns to fraud for glory."
Execute snaps out of his trance, "Alright, I shall stay in this village, start slandering his name, see if I can stir up some controversy, you are to take those tainted bedcloths and put fruit and the like in it, as a pouch, then go to the other village proclaiming yourself as an ambassador for the Texcocan, taking those in as a gift, if you get in, try to figure out if any of them know where that man has gone, I could use evidence of his treachery to soil his name." Yuri nods and runs off, but stops to hear one last order from Execute, "And please do be careful not to let any of our allies go near the sheets or touch anything that touched the sheets beforehand if you're going to get the gifts from them? I don't think our tribe would appreciate it if the "plague spirit" I called down targeted them."
(Slander: 7+2[Target has Fled, Unable to Defend Themselves]) Execute goes around Texcocan City, declaring that their own spirit is a fraud and coward. There initially is resistance to this, but when Execute points out that Ihiyo had fled rather than stay and challenge these claims, the people begin to doubt their proclaimed spirit. When Execute explains how one can emulate fire breathing with some alcohol and clever tricks, that creates a huge turning point; the Texcocan's now shout for Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal as loudly as they once did for Ihiyo, some even call for the capture and execute of the false spirit. Execute is brought to the Texcocan Emperor for talks in a palace not as grand as the Aztec's Emperor, but impressive nonetheless. Their emperor claims that he will support Execute, but pleas for his own sovereign control of his empire.
Back in Tenochtitlan, Yuri gathers up several bedsheets from the captured Spanish war vessel in secret, improvising them as packaging for several pieces of fruity delicacies. During the night, Yuri heads south alone, not wanting any Aztec to follow him in fear of them becoming contaminated; he also sheds his Aztec Holy Priest garb, which would be a giveaway to his true origins, instead wearing a hooded outfit to conceal his fair skin. (8 ) Yuri, posing as a member of the Texcocan's, is allowed access into the capital of the Artawa allow him inside and accept his gift of abundant fruit. The Artawa officials feast upon the fruit, unknowingly exposing themselves to the blankets as well. Once the exchange is finished, Yuri returns to Tenochtitlan the following day.
Hawk runs back into combat and looks around: Person is long gone, Salsacookies is laying blood-soaked on the ground as Greatness pulls a sword out of his chest, and a single standing Conquistador is loading his musket. (10 vs. 5) Before he can finish, a single AR15 round punctures his armor and the chest underneath it, and he crumples to the ground, the last hostile Conquistador finished off. Finally out of immediate combat, Hawk reloads his rifle and then goes to rendezvous with his last ally.
Above the skies of Denmark sails a large plane that the skilled eye could point out as a World War 2 Bombing Ship, its markings designating it as British. At the pilot's seat was not a British Fighter Pilot however, but instead a German-American in a sharp suit, poker chips and pill bottles strewn all over the floor. After it had been bombarded before, yet another threat of bombardment hovered above the once quiet Wisconsin town. Although no one on the ground realized it, the Bomber could not fly and drop bombs simultaneously at the moment, considering it needed at least two crew members to perform a bombing run and a whole seven crew to operate at full functionality.

drive for new York!

After finishing off Salsacookies, I feel the spill of blood onto the banks of snow. Collapsing on one knee, I finish regenerating, or at least try to. Afterwards, I feel a surge of new power, and rise up. I meet up with Hawk, and then attempt to find a car, or perhaps a motorcycle, with which to leave, all while also trying to find a wavelength that isn't being used by a trucker.
Like a true samurai. 8) You were awesome, Salsacookies!
EDIT: If, while doing all that, I can also pick up my AR-15? I don't know if my character can search for vehicles, tune the radio, and pick up his gun in the same turn.

Hunt down the remaining Conquistadors, not as a enemies, but as potential allies in the tough world. If they wish to survive, I would suggest that they join me in my flying ship, with which we will set the City of Denmark aflame with Revolution!
-
Load a new mag in. Grab UR's katana. Unless someone already took it and I didn't notice. Assist Greatness in finding us a vehicle.
-
Drive around, searching for anywhere that could have medical equipment. Perhaps the remnants of the refugee camps, if no buildings seem to hold what I need. Avoid my fellow warriors for the time being. Meanwhile, fix my pistol.
-
"I'm not sure. You could ask one of the guys running around, maybe, though I'm not sure they'd appreciate it. By the way, are you from around here? We're in Wisconsin—pretty close to Denmark, I think."
Look for someone who doesn't look busy; if I can find someone fitting this description, ask them what happened.

((Phew, I think I'm finally approaching the end of this big adventure, just a few more things I need to do before I can actually be in the big Deathmatch I signed on for 20 turns ago unless something big and bad happens.
Speaking of, has Yuri failed a single check yet?))
It doesn't even take a second until Dumbo replies, "Of course, I have no need for control over this place, I only want to help you expand your strength, promise you shall support my forces, and I will ask nothing else of you.
Incidentally, do not go near the Artawa's land, from what I hear, a plague spirit has been unleashed upon them, and they are notoriously uncaring about their victims."
Alright, shake on it, not much else to do, except start a montage where I explain to all of my soldiers what travel through the portal is going to be like, and explain to them what we will be entering once we get to our destination.
Also, get them to never go near any of the Artawas for the time being.

Keep cruising around town looking for stuff. Weapons, armour, mischealaneous loot, loot leftover from dead wiki warriors, fellow living wiki warriors. Whatever. I'm not too picky.

Round 41: Empire State of Mind
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Abstract stays on the wheel, focusing on the road ahead, the radio blasting music. Autumn switches between casual conversation, speculations of their future, looking at her phone, and napping. After hours of highways, countrysides and small towns, soon the sight of true cities and centers of industry come into view: factories, office buildings, packed streets. When he drives through a bridge, he can see the skyscrapers on the horizon. Abstract passes a sign, "WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY".
Person drives down the street alone, avoiding further contact with his competition as he searches for medical supplies to replace the inadequate work he has done so far, the heavy tires of his SpudMobile(c) crunching over the cracked concrete of the road. It putts along until Person reaches the abandoned refugee center, a ground of tents and miscellaneous materials everywhere, all forsaken by those who had left their city. Dad parks his vehicle by the side of the road and gets off, limping to the city of tents. (9) He spends several minutes going through the tents, looking for something useful but only coming up with torn clothes, empty parcels of food and used medical supplies. After checking a few medical tents with dissapointing results, Person is surprised to find one containing a partially used by still very viable Professional Medical Kit. (+Professional Medical Kit [Fabric Bandages, Gauze Bandages, Trauma Pads, 2 Medical Slings, 4 Cold Compresses, Burn Relief Gel, 4 Vinyl Gloves, Other Miscellaneous Medical Equipment]) This a timely find since his own attempts at improvised bandaging is falling apart.
Birdy, searching for a crew, scans around the area for the Conquistadors that had escaped the wrath of the other Wiki-Warriors. (Searching: 5 - Fail) The bomber makes several passes of the town without coming up with a trace of the Conquistadors; this search would be a lot easier if, ironically, Birdy had a crew to manage the plane's equipment. They could be in the forest area near the town, which would conceal their position from any eyes in the sky such as Birdy.
As the Texcocan Emperor makes his desperate pleas, Execute responds: " "Of course, I have no need for control over this place, I only want to help you expand your strength, promise you shall support my forces, and I will ask nothing else of you." The Emperor graciously agrees and thanks Execute for his kindness, bowing his heads. Execute follows this up, "Incidentally, do not go near the Artawa's land, from what I hear, a plague spirit has been unleashed upon them, and they are notoriously uncaring about their victims."
Afterwards, Execute returns to Tenochtitlan and tells the Emperor to create an edict banning anyone from going into the Artawa territory. Yuri suggests building some sort of structure or blockage preventing travel at the southern border.
Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal's final order of business is gathering all of his generals and preparing them for an interdimensional mission. He describes what the sensation of being sucked through a portal is like to prevent panic. He then goes into detail about where he comes from, as he refers to it, 'The Spirit World', where his followers will engage evil spirits that rival himself in power. The world is a strange one he warns, and begins to explain things such as electricity, time, and vehicles, among other modern creations. The generals seem uneasy with going up against foes that "can shoot fifty times quicker than a musket" or "great metal ships that fly in the skies".
Greatness, after slaying Salsacookies, falls on one knee and breathes heavily, almost panting, as he regains his strength and his breath. The healing process is not total, but it does reduce his wounds. [Moderate Bleeding -> Light Bleeding] When this is accomplished, he stands back up and goes looking for a functional vehicle to utilize.
Hawk grabs the Katana off of Ukrainian Ranger as a memo to her, (+Katana) and heads out with Greatness to assist him in finding a ride.
(5+1) After stowing through rubbish and looking at the ruined husks of automobiles and determining them all to be useless, the two spot a buried bicycle. Pulling it out from some fallen concrete, it is damaged by it remains in usable condition. It's fit for only one person though.
Satisfied with his loot but not content, NAV continues to search the town for even more valuables. (Searching: 1+2) He searches the surrounding area and comes up with nothing useful, anything that appears to be of some use disintegrates or breaks as soon as he touches it.
"I'm not sure. You could ask one of the guys running around, maybe, though I'm not sure they'd appreciate it. By the way, are you from around here? We're in Wisconsin—pretty close to Denmark, I think." The bewildered man continues to be bewildered but comes to more understanding as Elephant speaks to him. Elephant then moves off, looking for someone to explain the story. He finds a woman with a bandage wrapped around her head, wounded enough to receive attention and stay sitting, but not hurt badly enough to be the focus of medical attention. He asks her about recent events, "We were just driving up to Green Bay when it happened. Gunshots out of nowhere, no one knew what was going on. The panic was more dangerous than the bullets, everyone crashing into each other, goddamn, we can't escape this mess..." She buries her head in her palms.
High tyrol, after refueling her plane, takes to the skies once again and heads back to Denmark. (2) High tyrol, focused on making a plan for combat, overestimates the amount of runway left and sends her vehicle sailing past the end of the road. (10) Meraciously, at the last second, Tyrol pulls the plane upwards and achieves flight with minimal damage to her vessel and none to herself. It ascends quickly, the ground and any hazards disappearing below her.
Once she reaches Denmark, the massive figure of Birdy's bomber comes into view. She flies towards it, spitting her machine guns into the larger plane. (8 vs. 1) One solid strafe tears right through the metal beast! Birdy is flying smoothly one second, and then suddenly explosions are going off inside of his bomber. He attempts to right the plane upwards but loses his ability to control it! It begins to take a sharp plunge towards the ground....

I... Had actually assumed I had the good mind to search from the ground, as opposed to the air. I can't contact the Conquistadors from the sky, let alone get them on the bomber! Frankly I'm surprised I even got off the ground without a crew to actually start the engine.
Regardless...
Pull up out of the nosedive! Aim for a snow clearing and pray that this will be a landing I can walk away from!

Upon rereading this, you were correct. I can put you back on the ground, with the results of the turn the same except that rather in the bomber being in free fall, it is still getting dismantled by High tyrol, just that it's om the ground and you aren't in it.

-
Ok. I'm alright with the plane being riddled on the ground and being pegged in the ol' explosives. It's probably not going to be flight worthy any more. Still.
Find a pick up truck with keys in it and steal it. There are probably tons of them around the warzone.

What if I took a trip to New York?
-
What if I took a trip to New York?
The Spudmobile has a max speed of about 40 MPH.
Denmark to NYC, fastest route, is 979 miles.
So at top speed, 24.475 hours of driving.
-
Out of curiosity, are you using google maps or something similar for that sort of thing? As an aside, I doubt I'd get there so quickly anyway. The fastest route would probably want me to drive on the highway and well, people tend to get pulled over for going 40 on the highway. Not to mention the tolls. :P Its probably a good thing I'm not planning on going to New York.
By the way, is it possible that the starting area could change depending on the events of the game? Say everyone immediately leaves for Green Bay, for example, and there's no players left in Denmark by the time someone dies. Do you have any plans for that sort of thing? Then again I guess that's the sort of thing that would go to a vote wouldn't it.
(Also I'm way overdue on the reporting thing, so don't worry man. Its not just you.)
-
I am using Google Maps, which is really helpful for getting proximities and landmarks for small places I never even knew existed.
There are definitely situations where the starting point changes. For example, if the starting location becomes overrun or inhospitable, I'll change. It's not unlikely that Denmark becomes a giant burning fire or an irradiated wasteland, and it wouldn't be fair for new players to spawn somewhere where they'll be hurt or killed on arrival.
-
Waitlist me, I guess. There is no character sheet except your articles, right?
You are correct, and waitlisted.

((I'll run you over with the car or call the cops))
-
I really should add some clause that unless you are directly allied with them, calling the cops is not a valid option in this game. :P
Imagine if in any other arena game you could stop other players by calling the cops.
-
...You can't STOP them. You can make it HARDER, but no, just calling the cops doesn't stop a player. After all the cops might be busy...
-
Why would cops want to get involved in combat sports anyways? If you agree to fight in, say, a Boxing match, you can't call the police and accuse your opponent of assaulting you.
-
((Eh my plan is to become president with autumn as the lady.))
Why would cops want to get involved in combat sports anyways? If you agree to fight in, say, a Boxing match, you can't call the police and accuse your opponent of assaulting you.
((To be honest my character has been so preoccupied by other things he has honestly forgotten he's a wiki warrior.))
-
((But this is not a boxing match. It is a Charlie Foxtrot. The police have all the reasons to get involved.))
-
Your case is different, because if you do manage to get into office, then it would make sense that the police would protect you as a public official. Hell, you might even get your own bodyguards at that rate.
This has additional interesting implications. Since civilians no longer count as bystanders if they ally themselves with a Wiki Warrior, (ex. Nunzillor's militia were no longer protected by conventional laws once they joined her) that could mean all of your supporters would be fair game.
((But this is not a boxing match. It is a Charlie Foxtrot. The police have all the reasons to get involved.))
This got brought up a while back, but Wiki Warriors fall outside the standard peripheries of the law on all levels; ultimately they are subject to the laws of the Wikipedia Warfare Foundation, which has far greater power than even the UN.
And ultimately, this is a spectator sport.
-

Round 42: The Sunset Invasion
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Birdy witnesses his Hailfax Bomber get torn to pieces as a plane cruder than his own but just as ferocious swoops down and riddles it with a full concentrated burst of machine gun fire. The bomber groans, chunks of metal flying off of it, smoke filling its compartments and several pieces falling apart. Birdy goes off into the city to find alternate transportation, after all, with such a hasty abandoned of the city surely there must be working vehicles around. (2) This turns out not to be the case, as there are many vehicles on the road, none of them functional and most so damaged so are beyond even salvaging.
"DO NOT FEAR, MY SUBJECTS, THE FORCES WE FACE SHALL NOT BE PREPARED FOR US, BUT ONE TRIBE DROVE BACK THE HORRID INVADERS, AND WITH THIS FORCE, WE SHALL CRUSH ANY WHO OPPOSE US!
NOW, FOOORTH!" And so Execute draws his blade and is the first one who runs through the portal, followed immediately by Yuri, and then the rest of his army forming a horde as they pass through the portal. They stop briefly once again as they enter the Mansion, but Execute breaks their spell, "DO NOT WASTE TIME HERE, THIS IS NOT OUR DESTINATION! ONWARDS!" They run through the painting room and navigate through rooms and corridors until they reach the purple portal that connected the painted world with the one Execute had originally come from. It felt like it had been so long, as he steps back into the snowy land of Denmark.
High tyrol finishes off Birdy's Bomber, forcing him to abandon it. She isn't finished yet, as she turns the plane around and swoops down upon the flightless revolutionary. (10 vs. 1) Birdy doesn't even get a chance to run, the very first bullets of the machine gun do not strike the immediate area around him, they strike him directly. In a half second he is pulverized beyond recognition.
birdy51 was gunned down from above!

Greatness offers the Bicycle to Hawk, who accepts it and then estimates the amount of time it would take him to get to New York City; he figures it out and its a long time. He decides not to immediately bike to NYC. (+Bicycle [Damaged]) Meanwhile, Greatness scoops his dropped AR15 off the ground and looks for additional vehicles. (9) Greatness finds a not-totally destroyed RV parked on the outer perimeter of the area, what luck! The inside is barren but functional, though the vehicle lacks any starting mechanism like a key. In the meantime, his body fully regenerates to its uninjured form. [Stomach Healed]
NAV sticks to what he knows and goes for a less direct method of deadly combat. He sets about making some crude traps, (Trap Creation: 7) and makes a half a dozen tripwires using some scavenged rope material. (Guerrilla Warfare: 10+1) He litters them in frequently traveled but hard to see spots on the West side of town. At the moment, this would trip up anyone who passed by, but at the moment that's all the traps would do. If he wanted something more deadly, he'd have to get creative.
Abstract spends his first few minutes in NYC looking for a job. He gets directions from some local and heads to the New York City Mayor's Office. As he gets closer, more and more images, such as posters and billboards, of the current mayor begin cropping up, Rubi Tulianni. Abstract and Autumn park their car and go into the building, asking the front desk for work. "Lucky for you, we just had an opening position for an assistant in the Information Systems & Data Entry Department. How experienced are you? Do you have a resume?"
Person, now equipped with medical equipment, operates on his injured leg. (Medical: 4+2[Easy to Use]) With some liberal application of the gauze bandaging, Dad is able to patch up his foot and stop the bleeding. [Right Foot Healed] His ankle still needs work, but at least some of the bleeding has substituted, leaving some of the blood still pouring from his upper regions.
Elephant Parade searches his vicinity for suspicious armed figures. (3) By the edge of the road, he spots some strange looking guys holding rifles. He sneaks towards them, careful not to attract their attention...upon further inspection, they are just S.W.A.T. officers. How anticlimactic.
Where the local Art Store once stood in Denmark only a few spare paintings remained. And from this painting came a glowing purple light, from which stepped a man who had stepped through it many turns ago. He is followed by his companion, and then a general, soldiers, warriors; with each new entry back into the world the portal grew brighter. After about fifty had stepped through, the portal continued to operate as normal but its glow was so great that it cast a great purple cylinder of light into the sky, visible for miles all around. All of the other contestants would see this, even Elephant Parade who stood a good distance away. Except for the Russian Prince who was responsible for this phenomena, every this purple light would inspire dread in all Wiki-Warrior who saw it, even if they did not understand what it meant yet. The one who could not witness it, Abstract, felt a great disturbance in his body, a sudden pang of anxiety and nervousness like he was in danger.
The Sunset Invasion has begun.
There is one more arrival just in time for this new scenario, a woman of Asian descent watching the sky fill with the purple glow. In response, she pulls out her Katana, one of the many weapons she carries on her body like a walking armor. "Iz show time."

((I guess I'm a kind of mini-boss, I'm cool with that.
Oh, also, how fast can I fly with my wings, around the speed of a WW1 Bi-Plane? A bit slower? A lot slower?.))
The False Spirit The Spirit The Man HE looks around with fresh eyes, surveying this now alien landscape, his wings stretch to their full size, imposing and dangerous, looking to his assembled soldiers, HE speaks, "SOLDIERS GATHERED HERE TODAY, THIS IS THE LAND OF SPIRITS, ALL YOU SHALL SEE HERE SHALL BE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS ME, FOR I SHALL NOT LIE TO YOU, AND I ASK OF ALL YOU THIS, IF I FALL, I ASK OF YOU TO FOLLOW THEY WHO TOOK ME DOWN, AS NO MATTER WHAT, I WANT YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE TO FLOURISH UNDER THE POWER OF FORCE."
Looking up and noticing the Biplane circling the city, HE nods silently to himself, "Yuri, lend me your pistol and blade, I shall engage the plane in the sky, you lead these soldiers, sweep them through to the other side of town until you find any other Wiki-Warriors, attack them as you see fit, but be careful to keep them bunched together, they'll get confused easily, here."
Alright, if I'm about as fast as that Biplane, I'll attack it directly with my superior maneuverability, keep out of the front of his plane, if I'm slower, attack from the clouds, hit and run in the sky,though be careful not to run out of air too fast.
-
...Well! That was a quick death. I fear the dice were extremely against me that round.

-
...Well! That was a quick death. I fear the dice were extremely against me that round.
It was tragic, and I honestly don't like it when people die off so quickly. It's just that Tyrol had the luck, when I rolled the 10 vs. 1 I thought "Damn. That was fast." But rules are rules, after all, if Tyrol had a bad Takeoff Roll she could have easily crashed into the side of a hill instead of targetting you.
-
Look around for cars to steal and other wiki warriors to hide from. If I see neither, begin running towards the giant purple hell portal.
-
Indeed! I can accept that. The dice just happened to have it out for me. Nothin more.
-
Fix my ankle, and move onto healing my body after.
-
Check on that guy who was unconscious.
-
Grab my resume stuff because I clearly have that stuff if I don't explain my work experience and accomplishments and write down a list of my skills that would be relevant for this job.
-
I sneak towards the portal, possibly having Hawk follow me. Once at the Portal, I attempt to perform Recon, find the perfect time to strike at an entire army.
-
Follow Greatness. If we meet some police officers or the like on the way, try to recruit them. Once we get to the portal, get ready to shoot if we get spotted. Preferred targets in order of importance: Execute>Yuri>Aztec Generals>Aztecs.
-
Set upright knives, nailboards, broken glass, spiky jagged things so people trip and impale themselves. Try to disguise it.

((Question: What's the situation right now? Sorry for being sporadic with posts.))

((Question: What's the situation right now? Sorry for being sporadic with posts.))
No problemo, I've been sporadic with updates myself. You're hiding in an alleyway, and have just witnessed a portal opening up with a Wiki-Warrior stepping through leading an army of Aztec warriors.

Round 43: The Sunset Invasion Pt. 2
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
Person continues his systematic healing of himself with the Professional Medical Kit, now moving onto his wounded ankle. (Medical: 1+2) Even with the clear, easy-to-use instructions of the kit, Person ends up botching the next procedure and has to remove the messed up bandages, using up valuable healing materials while making no further progress in his healing.
Hawk and Greatness both head for the glowing portal, staying low to the ground and sticking behind obscuring rubble in order to prevent any of the Aztecs to spot them. Crouching behind a building, both of them peer at the Aztecs, picking out the most important targets in the crowd. (Stealth: 2) They are quickly spotted by a single Jaguar Warrior, who makes an effort of pointing at their direction and verbally notifying the rest of the army, who shifts to look at them.
Hawk (1 vs. 3) isn't quite ready to respond when he is spotted and immediately shoots back a quick, panicked burst of his machine gun, that strikes no one. The entire crowd ducks to the ground as a result.
Greatness shoots right after, (9 vs. 3) and finds much more success, spraying into the crowd and striking down roughly half a dozen with a few more injuries. While the number of causalities is relatively minor, the effect of being fired upon by a machine gun for the first time causes some minor panic.
If getting fired at by two assault rifles wasn't enough of an introduction, what about a flying plane diving upon the Aztecs and firing into their ranks? (6 vs. 3) The plane dips down low and pumps a line of lead into a single line of Aztecs, decimating yet another half dozen or so with no mercy.
NAV continues working on his traps to make them even more lethal and stealthy than they already are. (Trapping:1) While attaching some glass shards to one of the traps, NAV accidentally sets it off himself! (4) The trap springs and a piece of glass flies up and cuts across NAV's left thigh, leaving a sizable diagonal slash mark across it!
TinFoilTopHat's first order of business is to look for vehicles too steal while hiding from her competition. (Foraging:5) All of the cars at the edge of town appear to be unsalvageable, but maybe there's better loot further within town? Either way, Tin makes her way down the street towards the purple portal. She can hear gunshots coming down from the road, into a crowd of people gathered around the portal. The next thing she knows, a biplane is coming down from the skies to shoot at this same crowd of people.
As soon as Execute and his preliminary force of soldiers step through the portal, he is ready to give a speech:"SOLDIERS GATHERED HERE TODAY, THIS IS THE LAND OF SPIRITS, ALL YOU SHALL SEE HERE SHALL BE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS ME, FOR I SHALL NOT LIE TO YOU, AND I ASK OF ALL YOU THIS, IF I FALL, I ASK OF YOU TO FOLLOW THEY WHO TOOK ME DOWN, AS NO MATTER WHAT, I WANT YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE TO FLOURISH UNDER THE POWER OF FORCE." (Rallying:4) While this type of speech would normally get all of the soldiers fired up, they are silent and stoic this time around, not even the roaring spirit of their beloved god can distract them from this strange, brutal world that they have stepped force into. The last part of his speech is unnerving, as it implies that even the mighty Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal can be destroyed by the strange and fearsome forces in this new land.
Just after he makes the speech, Execute is welcomed back to the modern world he left by a spray of gunfire from his side. Several of the soldiers fall and the rest go into a somewhat panicked mode, their previously well-defined and disciplined lines now turning into a mob of running bodies as the Aztecs attempt to dodge a weapon beyond their own understanding. Before they can regroup, a plane blindsides the whole battalion, creating a frenzy. Yuri and Execute duck under the carcass of a nearby car, as Execute barks out instructions to his servant, "Yuri! Lend me your pistol and blade, I shall engage the plane in the sky, you lead these soldiers, sweep them through to the other side of town until you find any other Wiki-Warriors, attack them as you see fit, but be careful to keep them bunched together, they'll get confused easily, here!" Yuri wordlessly hands over his weapons, (+Conquistador's Pistol, Shortsword) and Execute takes to the sky, flying directly upward towards Tyrol's plane before she can turn around. (9 vs. 4) Unaware that someone could flying behind her, Tyrol slows down and gives Execute the opportunity to fly up behind her and fires a shot as he closes in; the musketball strikes HT in the right shoulder, through the bone! She curses and attempts to retain control of her vehicle with one hand.
On the ground, Yuri attempts to rally as many of the Aztecs as he can back into fighting shape as two competing entities fire upon them with modern weapons. (1-1[Panicked] vs. 9) Some of the Aztecs fire their bows off without taking proper aim, more like potshots. It is so bad that none of the arrows land anyway near Greatness or Hawk, instead their is friendly fire among the ranks, and Yuri himself is in the crossfire! (10) Thankfully, this arrow misses him by a large margin as well! "What are you doing! This is not what Execute wanted out of his men!" His barking words are lost between cries of pain, fear and confusion among the Aztec ranks. Even the single general that is present can do little to calm them down.
Abstract lays down his resume which he definitely didn't just photocopy ten minutes ago. The woman at the desk reads it, silently nodding to herself as she goes down his previous work and accomplishments. "So, when can you begin?"
Elephant Parade, after checking out the area for more potential shooters, goes to check on the man that was unconscious. The man is back on his feet, which is a good sign, though now he is fixated on something else along with everyone else in the vicinity; the purple glowing cylinder that has risen over Denmark. "What the hell is going on with our little town?" He mutters this as much to himself as he does to Elephant.
54 more Aztecs run through the Portal!

Okay enough with the traps. Drive to the glowing purple pillar, and try to stop my bleeding on the way.

Abstract smiles and says
tommorow or the day after at latest I just moved back here.
Look for affordable housing that dosent completely suck.
-
...
Damnit, I should have expected this, I got too excited and screwed it up again, alright, what would be the best way to boost morale? Keep charging that plane, with one hand she risks loosing control of the plane if she uses her weapon, store the gun away and use the shortsword to start chopping up the wings, old planes like the Siskin were made out of wood and cloth mainly, right?
-
As is rather obvious, I've given up on doing the aars, for now at least. This is spite of the fact that very interestong and exciting things are happening lately. It's quite clear now that I'm basically incapable of committing myself to things. It was an amusing little experiment, I guess.
Continue healing.
-
More?! ...Alright.
Dive behind anything I can, and reload. After finishing the reload, fire back into the crowd of Aztecs coming from the Portal. Also, maybe shoot the guy barking orders (Yuri), he seems to be with them.
Also, while the AAR's were awesome, I'm fine with you stopping, or at least taking a break, Person.
-
@Person: No one can fault you for that since you did AAR's from your own charity.
@Greatness: Execute still has a lot of guys coming in. I just want to warn everyone that the portal is going to spit out dozens of Aztecs every turn.
-
Take cover and keep firing on the Aztecs. If I have a shot at Yuri, shoot him.
-
@Person: No one can fault you for that since you did AAR's from your own charity.
@Greatness: Execute still has a lot of guys coming in. I just want to warn everyone that the portal is going to spit out dozens of Aztecs every turn.

-
give up attempting to control the plane involving take care of execute for now just fire my pistol into executes head if I succeeded then try to gain control of the plane.
-
Keep an eye out for approacing
Aztecs shady figures, gun at the ready.

Yeah, you had a whole expediary force coming through the portal, that's going to be at least a couple thousand.

-
@The Entire Coversation: Couple of Thousand of 'em? Holy Crap, I should have been paying more attention to Execute and what he was doing. I was getting caught up with myself and the others in Denmark! You're pretty good, Execute.
-
@Elephant: Yes.
-
@The Entire Coversation: Couple of Thousand of 'em? Holy Crap, I should have been paying more attention to Execute and what he was doing. I was getting caught up with myself and the others in Denmark! You're pretty good, Execute.
Well, I screwed up, is the problem, I should have guessed that a minor speech wouldn't have been enough to prepare them for the total slaughter that would be Denmark, and I should have sent a much smaller force to deal with that goddamn plane before I went in.
Hopefully I won't die before I get back into the portal, too, because I have a lot more soldiers waiting in the back, just look at my inventory.
-
Well, you did roll a 4 on that speech. But yeah things probably could have gone better for you.
Man, I have no idea how my char is gonna react when they go to retrieve their deceased ally. Because that was the plan and damn it I'm not going to meta game my way out of it. (As far as he knows, all the conquistadors are gone.) I'll probably just get close and end up retreating for a bit. That's not for a while yet though, as I still have preparations to make.

Round 44: The Sunset Invasion Pt. 3
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Morning
High tyrol, now injured with a significant shot to the shoulder, removes her hands from the wheel and pulls out her revolver. (7 vs. 6) Tyrol turns to the side and fires a shot at Execute before he can get far away, a shot that skims his lower right leg but fails to do more damage than a flesh wound. Because she had switched her focus up, the biplane was now making a rapid nosedive descent. Tyrol attempts to regain control of the vehicle, (2) but the plane is in freefall at this point and crashes into the ground below. (Flying: 7) In the crash, the plane is completely wrecked; tyrol is bruised and scraped up throughout her body, and her hand was broken from the impact, but she makes it out alive.
Hawk continues unloading lead onto the Aztecs, aiming at its top leadership whenever he has the opportunity. (8 vs. 6) He doesn't hit anyone except regular foot soldiers when he fires off a couple bursts, hitting two in their torsos and felling them instantly, as well as hitting another and crippling him, permanently putting him out of the fight.
Greatness dives behind (2) a pile of rubble which collapses when he presses his body up against it. Regardless of the failed cover, he continues to show the Aztecs firsthand results of modern firearms, (10 vs. 6) and sprays into the crowd, hitting several of the Aztecs and wounding their leader!
Abstract states that he's just arrived in the Big Apple and requires a couple days to settle down, the administrator grants him this adjustment time. Abstract runs outside to break the news of his employment to amber, the two embrace lovingly.
Then it is on to find cheap housing, which is easy, but Abstract is in the market for cheap housing that isn't a complete dump, which is much harder. (7) After a few hours, the couple comes across some reasonable apartments: the rooms are small and the furniture is old, but the water runs, the heat works and there is a lack of a cockroach or rat infestation. The cost of these would run Abstract $300 every <15 Turns>.
Elephant Parade stays on the road, keeping his eyes out for any shady people, whether they be Aztec scouts or sniper militants, his musket at the ready in case there is any trouble. Thankfully, there is no such trouble, but is approached by a police man with a stallion behind him. "I was told to return this horse to the gentleman with the musket."
Even with his recent failure, Person does not stop with his self-healing just yet. (Medical: 2+2) Person, through sheer concentration, manages to seal the wound on his chest with an imprecise bandaging that uses up all of the remaining bandages in his medical kit. This does stop his problem with bleeding, though his ankle is still an issue.
NAV is decidedly done with trapping and gets into his sports car, attempting to stop the bleeding coming from his leg. (Medical: 8 ) Sacrificing a portion of his ragged clothing, he is able to tie up the wound and halt the blood flow. He then drives towards the purple pillar, and down the road he can see dozens of figures moving about, the sound of gunfire and screaming flooding the air.
Execute continues to chase the plane, until he sees it finally go down and crash into the ground into a ruined pile of metal. Satisfied with this, he flies away to regroup with his forces.
Speaking of the Aztecs, Yuri continues attempting to rally the Aztecs as they panic under the stress of automatic gunfire they have never previously experienced. "We must remained disciplined for Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal!" This does little to help, especially as another sweeping of one of the AR15's hits once again, downing several Aztecs and hitting Yuri himself! (9) Fortunately, for Yuri, it is just a shot that nicks his arm. "Damn this!" The Aztecs retaliate as best as they can, (4-2[Panicked] vs. 10), but those that stand in place long enough to set up a shot with their bows are immediately gunned down by the team of Hawk and Greatness, resulting in another nearly dozen casualties. The newer Aztecs, closer to the portal, are farther away from the gunfire and thus less spooked by it. (8 vs. 6) This time, the arrows manage to get closer to the modern gunmen, and one of the arrows hits Greatness, striking him in the shoulder! Thanks to a combination of his highly refined Samurai armor and regeneration effects, it is not an immediately serious wound, but it will hamper his ability to fire, which could have long term consequences.
1 more Aztec comes through the portal.

I will try my best to ensure that this game does not take this long in the future to update, but the following month is finals month for me, so I can not promise a daily update, or even bi-daily update. My apologies in advanced. I am still committed to this game and still enjoy GM'ing it, it is just that I am currently in a situation where I am able to put much time into it.
-
Sounds like a good deal! help my love unpack all her things and move them in there and clean myself up generally take a shower clean my clothes and the like.
-
((Hmmm.
Alright, I'll let Tyrol heal, it would just be mean to keep dogging him.
Speaking of wow those rolls.))
Reload and return to my troops and tell them of my success! But do so near the back of the soldiers, don't wanna get hit.
-
I'm guessing long term consequences is because it's stuck in my arm, and it takes a while to regen? Makes sense.
I pull the arrow out of my arm, and find more cover. Once behind some, I gesture over to Hawk to provide covering fire, before beginning to regenerate my injured arm, so that I may continue my attack.
-
Waitlist please
Yes I'm paranoid about senpai not noticing me
-
Provide covering fire for Greatness.
-
(Well, that was about what I was hoping for, healing wise. I am not an optimistic person.)
Try not to put too much pressure on my bad leg while moving around, and search for anything that could be used as bandages. Loose clothing, etc. Keep an eye out for any other medical equipment as well.

Waitlist please

He's way up in the air and pretty damn fast, so it would be similar to trying to take down a small plane with a handgun. Plus, if his turn comes before yours, you're out of luck. I would suggest focusing on yourself for now, either regrouping yourself and preparing for a counter-attack, or escaping before the Aztec situation potentially out of control.

Drive over to assist the Wiki warrior team and drive by shoot the Aztecs.

Denmark does have a pretty big lake just east of the center of town. You could make it there in one turn of running, provided that you don't get stopped on the way.
By the way, attempting to do a drive-by while simultaneously driving the car will cause a Driving Skill roll, just a heads up.
-
That's alright, I got +2 driving.

Yeah, just wanted to make sure you knew in advance just in case you roll a (1+2) and wreck your car with a dozen Aztecs encircling you. :p

Say, where are most of the Aztecs? Are there conventional forces in the area?))

((Ah, sorry for being so inactive. Really.

The Aztecs are coming from an empty lot where the art shop use to be in the center of town. For reference, the Grocery were a lot of fighting previously happened is just down the street. You are currently hiding in an alleyway a few blocks away. You are safe for now, but if the Aztecs begin coming towards your location, it is only a matter of time before you are discovered. Currently they are preoccupied fighting Greatness and Hawk, and as of next turn some more contestants will enter the brawl.
-
Waitlist me, I guess.
I was not noticed.
-
Well, the Aztecs are interfering with the War. They must be punished.
Join the fight. Try to rally townspeople to fight the force invading their homeland.
-
Waitlist me, I guess.
I was not noticed.
I apologize. I thought I informed you. I did put you on the waitlist though.
-
Thank the man for returning my horse, but ask if they're really sure they don't still need it—weren't some vehicles damaged?
Offer my aid in combat, I guess, though the bizarre Wiki-Warrior laws mean it might do more harm than good.
-
Y'know, I'm really enjoying how I've started to galvanize all of you into fighting this swarm of warriors that has no signs of ending any time soon, I've become an unofficial boss character.
TCM, could fighting this Aztec swarm be a quest? Pleeeeeeease?
-
Since you told the Aztecs to follow whomever kills you, wouldn't objective of the quest just be to kill you?
-
Well, yeah.
Just to make sure everyone knows what they'll get once they kill me.
-
Well, yeah.
Just to make sure everyone knows what they'll get once they kill me.
Isn't being worth a point already enough? :P
You've kind of aggro'd everyone in the entire city to your location anyways.

Round 45: The Turning Point?
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Afternoon
Abstract accepts the offer for the tiny apartment and pays the initial fee upfront, (-$300) and begins to move Autumn's stuff into the apartment. Since it is such a small space, after placing everything down, the apartment becomes rather difficult to try and move around through, and requires stepping over furniture or sliding between tight spaces.
Hawk continues shooting at the Aztec forces, (4 vs. 8 ) and manages to fire a quick burst before he is repelled and forced to hunker down behind cover as a steady stream of arrows and spears are launched at his position, too many for him to try and retaliate without risking injury. With the machine gun fire temporarily ceased, a group of the bravest Aztec spearmen charge at Hawk's position, (1 vs. 8 ) but as they close in, Hawk blindly sprays at them and his efforts pay off as another handful of them fall to his gun, the rest of them running back once more.
Twinwolf, pops his head out of the dumpster he has taken cover behind for the last several turns and sees that for a moment, the coast is cleared. He coasts around the sight of the battle and looks for townspeople to recruit to his cause, despite the place being deserted. He does come across a group of guys hanging around in skii masks and gloves, surely they must be upstanding Denmark citizens! (Recruitment: 9+2) Twinwolf improvises a tirade on the invasion of the Aztec tribe and how they threaten the stability and future of the American nation, and that if these townspeople continue to loiter, they will have no home to go back to. Impassioned by this, the men join Twinwolf, and additionally are armed with small arms and knives as a bonus. (+4 Patriots)
Person has not achieved a satisfactory level of healing yet and turns to scouring the abandoned campsite for more medical supplies. (1) He opens up one medical tent in the search of supplies, and it turns out to be storing a good quantity of food, which is currently being raided by a pack of feral dogs. The dogs, seeing Person as a threat to their newfound food supplies, immediately leap upon him. (5 vs. 3-1) Person backs away, screaming out of fear as he is swarmed, kicking the dogs away in an attempt to repel them, although one of them takes a chunk of flesh out of his lower left leg.
Elephant thanks the police officer for returning his horse, who's injuries have since been patched up. (+Thoroughbred Racehorse) He asks the police officer if they still need the horse since some of the vehicles have been damaged, "We've put in a call for additional vehicles to come and back us up, so we'll be okay." When the Wiki-warrior offers to help the police fight the rogue militia, he is denied, "Too risky, and getting you caught up in our business is bad news, what if some of those 'friends' from your TV show come and try and get you while you're around officers or civilians? I hope you understand. Right now you might want to see whatever the hell is going on with that purple thing, or you might want to book it before the situation gets out of hand..."
High tyrol, currently grounded, looks up into the sky with a vengeance as the flying Execute, responsible for crash, flies away without a scratch on him. Pointing her cowboy revolver up at him, Execute tries to shoot him out of the sky as if she were going duck hunting. (3-3[Distant Target] vs. 6) High tyrol fires the entire clip at Execute and misses every single shot, and watches him soar peacefully towards the horizon.
Greatness refuses to be stopped by an arrow to the shoulder and grabs it, attempting to just pull it out completely. With Hawk providing covering fire, Greatness yanks the arrow shaft, (3) and breaks the arrow off at the halfway point. With it still lodged in him, his body is prevented from regenerating the wound. (10) As for cover, he finds an armored truck in the middle of the road! It is open and all of its valuables have been stolen, and it is in no condition to be driven, but it could also serve as a stationary fortress (+2 Defense while inside the Armored Truck).
Execute has downed the great plane menace of High Tyrol and now flies back to meet his army, reloading his conquistador's pistol on the way for efficiency. He lands at the back end of the lot, closer to the portal, while the main fighting goes on a few hundred meters away. He shares his tales of success which rallies some of the fresher soldiers around him. (8 ) They cheer on their patron diety, and then ask him to use his godly powers of strategy to help them overcome their new foes, in the same way that Execute lead them to victory over the Spanish. The Aztecs closest to Execute have boosted morale. (+1 Combat)
NAV enters the fray, supporting the modern wiki-warriors by slowing his car down and setting it to cruise control, allowing him time to lean out the window with his rifle and perform a drive-by. (3 vs. 2) He sprays into the mass of Aztecs, giving one of them with a moderate wound to the leg before being forced back into the driver's seat to take control of the automated car. (Driving: 5+2) NAV swerves around a pile of rubble that the car was heading towards, and continues flying down the road, in a good position to perform either another attack or head on to somewhere else.
The Aztecs, now reunited with their beloved god, press on in their glorious holy battle; the original half who arrived through the portal initially, sustained substantial losses by the combined efforts of Hawk and Greatness, but have been upgraded from a panicking shake to a shaken state. The other, newer Aztecs who did not see the slaughter are much more optimistic and are now being boosted by the presence of Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal.
NAV performs an unimpressive drive-by which leaves the Aztecs more confused than intimidated.
Aztec Battalion 1 attempts a second charge on Hawk and Greatness's positions. (6-1 vs. 7) Half of them run for Hawk, who is already laying down his sights before they reach him, (7 vs. 1-1) and the result is decimating; six shots and exactly six more dead Aztecs. Seeing this, the rest of this squad flees back towards the portal to regroup. The other half, who were originally going to run past Hawk while he was occupied, witnesses this display of sheer superiority and they also route.
Aztec Battalion 2, aka the "fresh" Battalion, do not make a hasty charge, but instead fire off a barrage of arrows from a good distance. (4+1 vs. 1) (9+1 vs. 3+2) This single barrage may be enough to swing the tide of battle with its consequences; first of, one of the arrows hits Hawk in the kidney, which is not a fatal wound but is pretty damn painful and results in some bleeding. Greatness may have felt safe in his armored truck, but just as he is closing the metal doors to the vehicle, a single arrow penetrates his torso armor (which does slow it down to an extent) resulting in a nasty stomach wound. His regeneration skills turn this from a major wound to only a moderate one, but Greatness now has a double case of bad injuries.
5 more Aztecs spawn from the portal.

let my imagination wander. Iow stare off into space daydreaming.
-
Begin organization of furniture basically try to reorganize everything so we have the maximum amount of living space without loosing anything.
You already have tried this, and its as good as you are going to get it without throwing some stuff awawy.
-
((How big is the room exactly?))
-
It has similar dimensions to this 273 sq. foot apartment. (http://tinyhousepins.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/273-sq-ft-tiny-apartment-in-warsaw-poland-08.jpg)
-
"...You know, I've fought worse. Killed worse. You Aztecs...don't know who you're fighting, do you?"
Dig the arrowhead out of my shoulder and the entire arrow out of my stomach. Then, try my best to aim and fire at the battalion attacking me and Hawk. Finally, try to find spare parts and wires for...an idea.
-
...
TCM, how much more ammo (In terms of ammo clips) do these guys have?
-
They stocked up when the looting the body's of Nunzillor's militia, so they each have about three spare clips; they made a conscious effort to get a lot of ammo.
-
Alright, shit, I can still work with this.
Hey TCM, how agile am I with flying? Could I fly close to the ground tailing... I dunno, a moving car without being in much trouble of crashing? And would you say an Aztec reloading something like a musket would be a long or moderate reload, and how many muskets could Yuri or I fire in one turn, assuming good conditions?
Okay, get the Aztecs to focus on Hawk, don't even give him a second of breathing time, then get Yuri to pester greatness along with five or six other Aztecs, get him to use a bow, if Greatness even pokes a finger out of the truck, fire for the finger, and if he stays inside keep pestering him with gun and arrow fire, in the meantime, get the first wave of Aztecs (The ones that aren't integral to keeping our main thorns pinned, that is) to fall back, give them the job of, along with getting as much ammo (both for bows and guns) as they can get their hands on, to bring back at the very least seven muskets, another couple pistols, and a few crossbows, too.
In the meantime, fly away from where our main annoyances are, then circle around to where our drive-by shooter went and attempt to shoot out him or, if his head isn't visible (And that would be preferable) fire for his tires, stay between buildings and such cover to hide from his return fire.
((Damnit, the two people to get into protracted firefights with an they're the ones with the ones with the most ability to hold out, if I don't get lucky again, then we'll just be in the same unsustainable stalemate of wasting resources.))
-
Rng really hates my legs doesn't it. Ah well. I knew I should have un-jammed the pistol before setting out. (I'm rather tempted to throw my disc and see if they try to catch it, but that's a bit too silly for me.)
Fight them back with my sword.
-
first check to see if the machine gun on the plane is still operational or at least fixable if it is then look for a pickup truck to borrow(steal) then load the machine gun into the truck bed
-
"I'm retreating to the truck. Cover me!"
Get to the armored truck NAV's car as fast as I can. Extract the arrow and nom on some veggies. Extract Greatness' arrows too, if he wants me to. Continue firing on the Aztecs if I have time still left.
-
Drive over to near the armoured truck.
"I'm on your team now. Get in."
And shoot some Aztecs.
-
"...'Kay."
Get into the car, then do the actions I already have listed.

Round 46: The Great Escape
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Afternoon
High Tyrol checks on the condition of the plane's machine gun, (2) and finds that is has been broken up into a dozen pieces. She steps out of the wreckage and looks around the area for a pickup truck, (9) and after walking down the nearest road for a few minutes, comes across an abandoned truck. At the moment it has collided with another car, which must have happened sometime around the Denmark Apocalypse, the car being the smaller vehicle was completely destroyed while the truck only suffered some superficial frontal damage. Both of the drivers are dead, with the truck driver slumped down into his seat, and the truck is out of gas as well. However, everything else appears operational, even the keys are still in there.
Execute clarifies his plan to his war party, "First wave, go back through the portal and retrieve at least seven muskets, a couple pistols, and a handful of crossbows. Bring them back here!" The Aztecs, relieved to not have to be part of this fight for a moment, run back through the portal. (-26 Active Aztecs) "Second wave! The best sex shooters go assault the fortress with Yuri, the rest of you focus on the other man!" The split occurs, with Yuri's Elite Shooter Unit firing onto the armored truck. With it being completely closed however, every single arrow bounces off the exterior of the truck.
The larger section of the army charges after Hawk. (9+1 vs. 6-1) Hawk pops out of cover just for a moment to retaliate, but he is struck by a flying spear which imbeds itself deep into his right shoulder! The force of the hit throws him down onto the back and results in him losing a hold of his gun. In addition to all of this, the spear has been dabbed in a painful toxin, furthering debilitating Hawk.
Execute himself takes to the air once again and flies down the street where NAV has just performed a U-Turn. With a difficult angle on the driver inside, Execute is forced to shoot for the tires. (1 vs. 5) The shot goes wide to the right and into a ruined car on the side of the road. (2 vs. 3) NAV leans out his window to fire a quick burst at Execute, one of the bullets clipping one of Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal's feathers.
NAV drives to a spot in the road that's an equal distance from both Hawk and NAV. "I'm on your team now, get in!" (8 vs. 6) He leans out the window and sprays at the Aztecs, taking down three more of them.
Person squares off against the feral hounds, drawing his officer's sword and stabbing it downwards at them. (9+1 vs. 10) He jams the blade into what he is sure is the back of the neck of one of the closest dogs, yet the agile creature narrowly evades Person as his blade goes into the soft, snowy ground. Person lets out his own animalistic sounds, barking and yelling at the dogs as his swings his sword at them whenever they draw near. The creatures growl as fiercely as ever, but instead of attacking they now retreat back into the tent, obviously intimidated by Person.
"...You know, I've fought worse. Killed worse. You Aztecs...don't know who you're fighting, do you?" The Samurai muses to himself as he attempts to remove both of the arrows from his body. (1) (7) The newest arrow, he is able to pull out with great concentration. The shoulder arrow on the other hand he accidentally further pushes deeper into himself, making it impossible to retrieve without further opening the wound. Now he is plagued with the constant sensation of an arrow shaft penetrating the muscle as well, which is highly painful. His stomach wound regenerates partially. He then looks around the truck for spare parts and a wire, (10) and finds a surplus of both. He takes as much as he can and stores it in his armor. (+Long Length of Wire, +Various Mechanical Parts) Finally, when Greatness hears that backup has arrived outside, he kicks open the doors of the truck and fires at Yuri and his Aztec war party, (9-1-1 vs. 2) nailing half of them instantly and Yuri as well. (9) Somehow, Yuri remains a lucky son of the bitch as the bullet only nicks him. (4) Greatness sprints and makes into the car, but gives Yuri's team one last opportunity to attack. (1 vs. 4-2) Despite Greatness sloppily diving into the backseat of NAV's sports car, every arrow fired at him misses, as well as even missing the entire car.
Abstract daydreams about his life now. What would happen? Would his job at the mayor's office work out? What about Autumn, what was she going to do here? Would their relationship survive their new goals and obstacles? Abstract thinks about this for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at sunrise, Abstract wakes up. He could try starting his job now, or since he was given some "adjusting" time by his employer, he could spend today exploring the city with Autumn.
"I'm retreating to the truck. Cover me!" Hawk cries out as he rushes for the car, now sporting multiple serious wounds. (1-1) On the way, Hawk trips over some debris and lands on his face, allowing the Aztecs to easily swarm around him. (9+1 vs. 3-2) Hawk reaches for his gun on the ground, but an agile Jaguar Warrior leaps upon him and drives his spear through Hawk's back and into his spinal column. Hawk is skewered as a hollering horde of Aztec surround him, stabbing and cutting him from all angles in a way that no amount of healing vegetables could hope to mend. Greatness watches helplessly as his original ally is torn apart just fifty meters away from him.
Execute's Aztec army has desecrated Hawk!

In a case of the teacher learning from the student, Greatness's game has lead me to consider new victory rewards for this one. How would you guys feel if the victor got something like a random article from the wikia of their choice, or the ability to influence the starting location of the next game?
-
go exploring with my girlfriend why not!
-
... dammit. Back into the waitlist I go.

Oh yes. Very nice. Do this. Much happy.
~~~
FallacyofUrist doesn't bother talking. She simply searches for a Wiki-Warrior to eliminate. Preferably one not surrounded by an Aztec army.
-
Lead the people I gathered into battle! Or rather, have them start shooting the Aztecs. Guns > Spears.
-
@TCM: It may be because I'm Biased, but that sounds like a great idea. :D
"NO! ...N-No...Hey, driver. ...You wanna go bowling?"
Convince NAV to go Aztec Bowling, drawing attention to the head pins of Execute and Yuri. While he's running them over, switch to a left handed grip, and fire on the Aztecs. Try to aim for the mob, and Execute. Yuri must be immortal to have this luck.
-
How would you guys feel if the victor got something like a random article from the wikia of their choice
This could probably be abused.
or the ability to influence the starting location of the next game?
This would be great! It would also be a good way to prevent every single game from starting in Obscure Small Town #1345.
-
I would always have GM Discretion in case someone was all like "I choose the Wikia for a show/game/book where every article is based around a super strong character or item", in which case it would be denied.
I do think, in the support of Choose a Location as a reward, I think it would much more interesting than a single person getting a single article, as picking a single location could change the entire outcome of a game. Note that this would include fictional locations as well.
-
@TCM: That makes a lot of sense, and is a good idea. I mean, imagine if someone like Execute, or Urist (or me) wins, and then picks something like Hoth, during The Empire Strikes Back. That would change a lot of things about the game, and has a lot of opportunities for allies.

Choose a Location's potential is incredible. Seriously, it basically allows you to pick any video game location, as well as major locations from many other popular pieces of media. Off the top of my head:
- the International Space Station
- the Moon
- Mt. Everest
- the White House
- the Overworld (Minecraft)
- Hell (Dwarf Fortress)
- Level 1-1 (Mario)
- Mt. Moon (Pokemon)
- Past Chaos Shrine (Final Fantasy I)
(For this list, I assumed that the location you picked would also determine the world—that is, picking Level 1-1 would cause the game to be set in the Mushroom Kingdom, rather than on Earth.)
Fake-edit: It was also made with the assumption that you could select locations from all wikis, rather than just Wikipedia.
-
Your assumptions would be correct.
Also, EP, are you planning to post an action?
-

Yes—I had typed one up last turn and forgotten to post it, and was seeing if I could find it. Looks like it's lost, though, so I need to retype a sentence. The horror!
Thank the man for giving me back my horse. Ride off to a nearby town—one that is neither the refugees' destination nor Aztec Death Zone.
-
siphon gas from the car to the truck then drive to the wrecked car then check damage of plane engine if usable load on to pickup either way drive back to the airport where I parked my racecar.
-
Awww, no articles? I guess that makes sense, but still.
Okay, reload my weapon, then fly back and command the warriors to drag back Hawk's body to me then loot it, specifically, the handgun, AR15 and clips, take the guns, then get everyone to retreat back to the portal, and get the Aztecs to retreat to areas that a car would have trouble driving through, places with lots of pillars, or building with good coverage, anything will do, then give the AR-15 and clips to Yuri, fly him up to the roof a buiding that gives a good line of sight to most areas surrounding the portal, put him on sniper duty.
Finally, start messing with NAV and co. via death-from-above shooting fun times.
-
It must have gotten left out, but I'm sure I got an article for you. Oh well, I'll get you a new one tommorow.
Also, when you say have the Aztecs retreat to the portal, do you mean around the area the portal is or through the portal itself?
-

Heh, I actually made the action specify that they would go through the portal before I decided against it, since they wouldn't be much help there and I don't wanna be killed without at least using my several thousand strong army.
But yeah, the area around the portal.
-
Choosing a location is definitely something I approve of.
Retreat to the tent I was at before, un-jamming my pistol as I go.
I'll take a tie, that works. (Say, how abstracted away is our need to eat or drink. Just wondering if you actually keep track of that sort of thing. Its been awhile in game since the start of the battle.)
-
Added in Execute's new article.

I always figured it was assumed that during the lulls in the battles, like people just spending their turns moving from spot A to B, it could be inferred that all the essentials were happening, like eating or using the bathroom, etc. I'll probably only bring in eating/drinking needs if its a certain scenario where it would be a specific problem, like someone trying to cross a desert or tundra on foot.
-
Makes sense. (I swear I'm going to get back to the battlefield some time soon, and when it happens your avatar is going to be very appropriate.)

"My Bullets will Taste the Blood of my enemies and my wheels will Bathe in it!"
Crush the Aztec army beneath my tires. And shoot at the flying one.

Round 47: Yuri the Untouchable
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Afternoon
High tyrol siphons the gas from the wrecked car to the pickup truck. (10) Tyrol uses her hat as a basin to pour the gasoline out into, an unorthodox method, but it works and she manages to fill the truck up with an entire tank! (+Pickup Truck [Superficial Damage], Cowboy Hat now [Soaked in Gasoline]) She drives her new ride back to the site of her plane crash where she briefly exits to check on the plane's engine. Opening the plane up, (8) she sees that the engine has been jostled around but is still in perfectly operational conditions. She pulls it out, (Strength: 2-2) and drops it on the ground, actually breaking it this time. With this new development, she finally abandons her plane and drives off in her truck towards the airport. [Will arrive in the airport next turn.]
FallacyofUrist scans the battlefield for a worth opponent, one that isn't about to be killed off by an Aztec army anyways. (5) It looks like from where she is right now, the only options are some people riding around in a car shooting at Aztecs and the people leading the Aztecs themselves. Actually, besides this current battle, it looks like the town is pretty much dead, with a lack of people in most areas, meaning the other Wiki-Warriors must have gone somewhere. Maybe if Fallacy checks the peripheries of the town she might have better luck than on the inside...
Person backs away from the hostile canine tent, sword still pointed at the entrance, but none of the dogs come back out. In the clear for at least a moment, Person runs back to the tent he was in, hunkering down inside and putting his sword away, swapping it for his pistol which he (8 = Success) is able to unjam. He is now armed with a two-shot gun and in a defensible position, still facing wounds and possibly still at odds with a pack of feral dogs.
"My Bullets will Taste the Blood of my enemies and my wheels will Bathe in it!" NAV invigorates himself with a speech loaded with some strange usage of capitalization. (4+2 vs. 1) The sports car turns around and makes a line drive at the Aztecs, who are still having difficulty comprehending the speed of a motorized vehicle, and thus do not react fast enough. The vehicle's bumper and hood are stained with blood as eight Jaguar Warriors are rammed at high speed, tossing them aside and leaving them either dead or crippled. NAV considers giving his whip (car) a red paint job as he leans out the window and attempts to take down Execute, waiting for him to take flight once again.
Execute reloads his Conquistador's Pistol as he shouts to his troops on the front line, "Jaguars! Bring me that body!" A group of them pick up Hawk and pull him towards Execute, who cringes as he watches an entire squadron get destroyed under the wheels of NAV's sport car. Hawk's body is dumped in front of Execute, desecrated the point of unrecognizability, and the Aztec deity retrieves the weaponry from it, (+AR15 Assault Rifle, +Police Pistol, +Ammunition). Before he leaves, he orders the Aztecs to retreat to some buildings nearby and take cover within them, which they do. "Yuri, with me!" Execute throws the AR15 at Yuri, who catches it and then jumps into Execute's arms as Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal takes off!
Execute flies towards the roof of a two-story office building, the highest in the area, when NAV preemptively spots him! (1 vs. 2) A quick burst of bullets catches the air around Execute and Yuri, but it misses either of them. When they reach the rooftop, Yuri leans on the edge and uses it to prop up his gun, sniper style. Meanwhile, Execute dives for NAV's car, shooting at it with his new modern gun. (7 vs. 3) Execute sprays the front of the car and breaks through the front windshield with a series of shots, one of which hits NAV in the chest! The bullet tears through some arteries, but fortunately for NAV, misses any vital organs. [This results in 'Serious' bleeding, in between 'Moderate' and 'Severe' bleeding. Left unattended, this a single Seriously Bleeding wound can kill you, though it takes about 6-8 turns, as opposed to a Severely Bleeding wound which takes around 3-4 turns.)
"NO! ...N-No...Hey, driver. ...You wanna go bowling?" NAV is already on the gas before Greatness finishes his suggestion, the car plowing through rows of Aztecs. He takes this time to switch his rifle to a left-handed grip, which does stabilize it somewhat; this preoccupation prevents him from seeing Execute swoop down and shoot into the car. Greatness panickedly aims his gun out where the front windshield once was, trying to shoot Execute down before he flies away again. (2-1 vs. 3) Greatness takes five quick shots which results in five quick misses. He leans back in his seat and curses as Execute flies off again, unharmed.
Greatness's stomach wound completely heals.
Abstract takes Autumn out on the New York City streets to go exploring. There is a lot of traffic and angry drivers, shady restaurants around, drunk people yelling aimlessly and a pack of drug addicts who beg them for money. What a nice part of NYC they moved to.
Twinwolf leads her band of Patriots down the road until they close in on the Aztecs, from an angle that they are not paying attention to. As the whole army runs for cover on Execute's order, Twinwolf signals for a surprise attack. (10 vs. 4) As the Aztecs rush past, they are flanked by semi-automatic pistol fire, cutting their numbers down as the four men combine their fire to take out 14 Aztecs, a sizable blow to Execute's forces. The survivors do not retaliate, instead focusing on getting to the buildings that Execute indicated first.
Elephant Parade thanks the policeman for returning his horse and then rides off in a direction both away from the battleground of Denmark or the refugee haven of Green Bay. He rides west until he passes a sign welcoming him into a town called Glenmore, with a total population of just over 1000. It's less populous and dense than Denmark, and looks like it's mainly an agricultural community. The only area which could be called urban is a strip of stores that Elephant sees in the middle of town, containing things like a gas station, a restaurant/bar and a farming equipment store.
The Aztecs left alive in the wake of the recent vehicular manslaughter/pistol flanking combination take cover in the stores on the main street of Denmark, including places like a bakery, a military recruiting office and an insurance building. The Aztecs are now less excited and energetic about fighting, especially following their recent heavy losses. (Morale Bonus Nullified) From the front of the store, a few archers attempt potshots at NAV's car. It turns out they are now too far from the car to hit it, at the same time, NAV would have to come closer to attack them properly, though the range on Greatness's rifle might allow him to land some solid hits.
While Twinwolf's Patriots are celebrating their recent victory over the Aztecs, Yuri is lining up some shots with his scope. (2 vs. 3) The celebrations are interrupted as a burst of bullets strike the ground near the men. "Hey, one of those Aztec guys is on the roof!" He points at Yuri, who ducks for cover. (6 vs. 8+2) Several shots are fired at Yuri, but none hit due to the combination of his cover and his defensive advanatage of being so much higher up.
17 Aztec reinforcements come through the portal, and are accompanied by the 26 that Execute sent in to retrieve more weapons, which they now have.

Indicate the new Aztecs to move over to the defensive position, with the soldiers carrying the new weapons to be evenly split between the buildings where the Aztecs are positioned, hopefully the rifles would have good enough range, though they are not to expose themselves in any way, Yuri, keep firing, give a demoralising speach to Twinwolfs followers, if it works or not, fly down the side of the building all the enemies aren't at, then swing around to continue harrasing our friends Nav and Greatness.
((I'm starting to think Yuri is the real god now.))
-
"NAV, continue with the Bowling. I need to take down the flying one. If he's a God of some sort, then I'll make him bleed.
Attempting to work through the pain, I'll aim and fire at Execute and Yuri. Then, fire at the mob of Aztecs, before taking cover and reloading.

go to central park it's probably nice there!

Round 48: Too Many Samurai
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)
Time: Early Afternoon
Elephant Parade begins to perform his Untitled Song, skipping out on the part that involves shooting a musket. (3) It would be much improvised with musicals instruments, which he lacks, and also more people performing it; after testing it Elephant deduces that it would draw more people in if he could get a band together. As for now, his small-time musical performance is ignored by everyone, the police too busy on patrolling the area for Aztecs or shooters, while the refugees are focused on leaving. For now, it is merely a lonely tune for Elephant and his horse.
After a less-then-favorable introduction to New York City, Abstract gets the idea to take Autumn to Central Park. (1) On the way to Central Park, the couple gets lost, so Abstract asks a trio of guys hanging out on a street corner how he can get to the park. "Oh, we can show ya', but it's gonna' cost ya'." The three of them begin to circle around Abstract and Autumn, and Abstract sees the distinct flash of a small blade in one of their grips. "How much dough ya' got on ya'?"
Twinwolf and her Patriots shoot some inaccurate covering fire at Yuri as all of them run for cover, ducking behind a nearby building away from the Aztecs.
NAV cackles like a madman, "Make him bleed bleed BLEED! Hahahahaha this is great!" He steers the sports car in the direction of the fleeing Aztecs and speeds after them, attempting to take out some of the stragglers before they can get to cover inside the stores. (6+2 vs. 9) The Aztecs see NAV accelerating from far away, and this prompts them to sprint as fast they can, getting to the stores before he can reach them. NAV continues driving at one lone Aztec wasn't quite fast enough and left outside on the road; while the single Jaguar Warrior might not be that speedy, his reflexes make up for it, as he turns around and throws his spear straight at NAV. (1 vs. 8+2) The spear sails a couple feet over the top of the car, which plows into the Aztec regardless; the sound of his ribcage shattering is audible. NAV spots Execute flying around in the air and parks the car for a moment to point his gun out where the car's front windshield once was, opening fire on the flying deity. (9 vs. 4)NAV waits patiently this time and lines up a shot as Execute is busy paying attention elsewhere; this time, the Bullpup Rifle's burst rakes across Execute's lower torso, and the blood spilled from him is visible even from the ground.
"NAV, continue with the Bowling. I need to take down the flying one. If he's a God of some sort, then I'll make him bleed." Before Greatness even finishes with his request, NAV is trying to chase down some fleeing Aztecs, giving the Samurai an opportunity to roll down the window and shoot at both Execute and Yuri. Since NAV is able to land a good hit on Execute, Greatness focuses on Yuri in an attempt to distribute the pain. (6-1 vs. 1+2) Despite Yuri's advantageous position, Greatness is able to hit him with a spray when the Russian stands up to move from one point of cover to another. Greatness sees Yuri falling over, indicating that he hit him somewhere in the leg. The Samurai warrior then twists his gun to point at the nearest storefront where the Jaguar Archers are about to launch a counter arrow barrage. (4-1 vs. 8+1) A short burst from Greatness's rifle strikes a wall and fails to scatter the archers. (1 vs. 4) Their arrow attack puts a few dents in the side of the car, and manages nothing else. After all of this, NAV hunkers down, minimizing his visibility to anyone outside the window, while he reloads his gun; he is done to his last couple of clips.
NAV puts the car back in motion, driving away from the sight of the battle and towards the lake on the Center-East part of town.
Person, hiding in a tent, quickly reloads his pistol and scavenges what he can out of his bandage-deprived medical kit to heal his new wound. (Medical: 8+2) Using about half of the already half empty kit, Dad does seal the bleeding wound. Now it's just him, his weapons, and a bum ankle hiding in a tent from a pack of dogs in an abandoned crisis zone. When he heard of the glorious combat in the Wiki-Wars Annual Tournament, this is not how he imagined it would go down.
Execute sees the weapon reinforcements appear through the portal and flies down to greet them, only to be interrupted by more gunfire that actually wounds him this time. This pushes Execute back, but he grits his teeth and gets back on the path, flying down to the returning soldiers and pointing them in the direction of the storefronts where they will distribute their weapons. The soldiers collectively gasp when they realize that Execute is badly wounded, but when they attempt to help him he waves them off, claiming that he has to much work to do and he can't waste time laying around being a casualty.
Execute flies back up and witnesses Yuri getting hit, which causes him to cringe, but it looks like it was not a serious wound as his old friend is able to get back into cover and return fire on NAV's Sport Car. (4 vs. 5) He fails to hit it, (3 vs. 9+2-1) and NAV wastes some bullets on the side of the building that Yuri is on top of.
Execute swoops down towards Twinwolf and his followers, attempting to demoralize them. (6) "There are hundreds of us and more coming! We will keep your head on our pikes!" This doesn't necessarily strike panic into Twinwolf's militia although they do not attempt to shoot at the moment, meaning it had to have been at least a little successful.
Execute, badly wounded by NAV and Greatness, is not going to let them escape untouched. He dives for their car like a hawk going over a mouse, and when he is low enough, begins pumping his pistol while it is aimed at the front section of the car. (6 vs. 4+2) He puts a few holes in the hood, but no real damage to either the vehicle or its occupants. He sees Greatness aiming his rifle back at him, so Execute flies away quickly, now clutching his perforated stomach.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" FallacyofUrist's cackle beats out NAV's earlier one, as she lights her Mountain Gun, now aimed at Execute. Mountain Guns were constructed long before flying targets were even conceptualized, so this would be a difficult shot, but that didn't stop her. (7-3[Aerial Target] vs. 8) The cannon ball sails wide right of Execute, who actually hears the whizzing of the projectile as it passes.
High tyrol drives the pickup truck into the airport, parking in one of the available lots. Sitting in the front seat, she begins to imagine a poem about an Aztec God who is killed by a cowboy. (Poetry: 10+2) Tyrol surprises herself with how quickly she is able to think of an epic where a humble 19th century cow herder in Southern Texas accidentally awakens the spirit of a power-hungry Aztec God and challenges him to a duel. She is certain that if she could get it published, it would be a smash hit. She entitles it "The Sky God Came Down to Texas".
With the NAV/Greatness doing driving off and Twinwolf's Patriot Militia in hiding, the Aztecs have a brief respite, allowing the reinforcements to safely cross the area between the portal and the stores, distributing the muskets and crossbows equally among the Aztec ranks.
13 more Aztecs come through the portal.
The Sunset Invasion:
Leaders: Execute, Yuri
Active: 87 (+13)
Casualties: 86
TinFoilTopHat receives a top secret mission and leaves the tournament, relieving her position in the Wiki-Wars.
The hoofs of a horse clatter as a new entrance makes their way into the Wiki-War Tournament. Like Greatness, he wears the armor of a Samurai, but he is on horse back and beneath his armor is not traditional Samurai clothing but a clearly American military uniform. A pouch is attached to his hip, jingling and jangling with each movement of his steed,

Denmark is probably evacuated completely at this point. I mean, there might be a few people that stayed behind out of stubbornness, but I doubt I'll find professional medical aid here. As such, I'm rather tempted to skip town for a bit. Care to remind me of the nearby villages/towns/etc?
That's mostly if I actually need help from someone else to fix my leg of course. I might have a go at fixing it myself anyway if my search for supplies is fruitful.
Also the map seems to do the job quite well. Though I would appreciate a larger view of Denmark, it would probably be more trouble than its worth to grab a map of the real Denmark and pinpoint our locations every turn. A small location update via text would be nice though, as its been some time since the last one.
Edit: Decided to look back a bit, and I've been bleeding or injured one way or another since round 37. Well, at least I'm not dead. Something something, buffaloes are tenacious. Will work that in somehow once I reenter combat I guess.

Directly West is Shirley, northwest is Glenmore, northeast is Fontenoy, and Southwest is Cooperstown; these are mostly identical small farming towns with general populations of around 800 - 1,500. Green Bay is to the North East on the highway, but it would take multiple turns to get there. Equally distant and in the opposite direction of Green Bay is Mantiowoc, where Nunzillor briefly went to. Fun Fact: That town is where the first season of Making a Murderer took place.
I will provide a general location update during the next turn.
-
Dive out of the car, taking great care to not injure myself further. Then, shoot NAV with as many rounds as it'll take.
EDIT: Changed my action due to NAV's...if I'm allowed to do that, anyway.
-
"We need to stop at the lake, to compose a battle plan, and clean our wounds."
Stopping at the lake, I attempt careful surgery to get the arrow out, allowing NAV to help if he can. While there, I form a plan with him. The plan will be to primarily target Execute, obviously right? Well, if he's dead, the Aztecs might be demoralized, and flee back through the portal, to which we can attempt to close it. Then, if we can, we stealthily return to the area, to sneak attack Execute and put our plan into motion.
You will be able to reach the lake next turn and perform your actions there provided that NAV's drive is uninterrupted, however driving back from the lake will take an additional turn.
-

That makes sense, yeah. I'll queue up going back into the town, and go into detail on the plan during the turn we end up going back. That way, I can heal up next turn, and the turn after that we can attempt to cripple the invasion.
-
Damnit, I hate demoralising my troops, but I don't have any medical supplies so I'll have to do it, get back into the portal and send off a few Aztecs coming into the fight back out into their world to get some gauze or stitches, anything will do, try to keep the blood from coming out too much while I wait, tear off some cloth and wrap it around the wound, perhaps?
Otherwise, standard battle plan.
-
Nav is oddly quiet on the drive to the lake.
Drive right into the lake, turn into a great white, and eat Greatness.
-
If I'm allowed to change my action:
Dive out the car, and pump all sorts of lead into NAV!
-
Uh...Edit it into your first post?
-
Okay, look, not that I'm arguing against being given a win-win situation with no interference on my part, but I really don't think attacking one of your most powerful allies is a good idea, I mean, first off, that car is gonna be totaled, no matter the roll, and that means you lose one of your best methods of attack against the Aztecs who don't have any weaponry good enough to penetrate the car on anything except for a lucky hit and have no real recourse to this rumbling monstrosity taking down their troops, even if you do find another car, that's gonna be a turn, minimum, in a situation where a turns difference means I could be healed by then and behind double the amount of Aztecs which equates to double the amount of bullets you're going to have to spend and you don't have the bug-f*** crazy amount of meele damage potential your samurai buddy can dish out, even adding in that shoulder wound he has.
Unless your plan is to just run from the spreading Aztec tide, in which case that's probably a good idea.
-
If I'm allowed to change my action:
Dive out the car, and pump all sorts of lead into NAV!
This is one of those situations which will make me reevaluate my position on secret actions for the next game.
For now, I'll make you roll a reaction roll against NAV and if you succeed, you'll dive out of the car before it enters the water.

Diving out of a speeding car has a high chance of injury, right?

Yes.

Are you guys still cool if I keep going on with this game?
-
Yes! :D
-
Cool as a crocodile 8)
-
Of course I am! I love this game, it's going great! :)
-
Eh? Of course I'd like the game to keep going.
-
I just thought the pause was you having some real life troubles, I'd love for you to continue it.
Edit: For clarification, I meant continue the game, that wasn't a snide insult.
Though do feel free to pause whenever you want to.
-
I actually also thought that the pause was because of real life problems.
But anyways yeah! Keep the game a-rolling!
-
There were problems temporarily but they should have subsided. For now.
Turn in-progress.
-
OUI!
-
If the Aztecs are coming at us, hold position and fire. If they aren't, try to find some groups outside of the main one.
-
Mount horse again. Try to get out of the refugee zone.

Round 49: Betrayal! Great Dishonor!
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (11.3 inches)
Time: Afternoon
Fallacy mutters something about Aztecs as she cleans out her cannon, loads it with another shot and sets the primer.
Greatness speaks to his new buddy NAV on the way to the lake, talking about plans of future strategy and tactics while the driver remains completely silent. As they get closer to the lake, Greatness realizes that NAV is accelerating instead of slowing down. [Reflex vs. Driving: 1-1 vs. 7+2] Greatness attempts to leap out of the car, forgetting that he is constrained by his seat belt. Before he can get it off, NAV drives off a patch of inclined earth and soars into the lake, plowing into it far from the shoreline. The vehicle begins rapidly sinking and NAV begins shifting from a human into a Great White, his clothes coming apart and his limbs retracting into his lengthening torso. Before they are submerged, Greatness makes one last ditch effort for survival and shoots at his driver with his one good arm at point blank range. [8+2(Point Blank)-1-1 vs. 2] The spray hits NAV in the neck, the wound itself growing at the same rate as NAV's form, becoming a gaping, massively bleeding spot on the shark.
Tyrol attempts to look up the political alignment of the most prominent publisher in the Green Bay Metropolitan area, but lacks a phone to do so. Instead, she takes her car and begins driving towards the nearest hospital, following the signs out from the airport towards the downtown area. She merges onto the freeway and finds herself stuck in traffic, a condition that looks like it will last a while longer.
Person pokes his head out of the tent and seeing that the coast is clear, stealthily moves towards his parked Potatomobile, trying not to attract the attention of the dogs. [Stealth: 10] Person leaps on his vehicle with less noise than a dropped pin in a busy mall and starts up the engine. By the time the dogs could have heard these sounds of Person, he is already back on the road, far away from their position. [Scouting: 2] Dad begin the drive back into Denmark, to look for any buildings that could potentially carry medical supplies, but on the Western side of town he is currently on, there are few places in the vicinity and it was likely that even when the town was in its normal state this area lacked many medical resources. The handful of medical-type buildings that do exist have been destroyed and the local drugstore, which was examined by a previous contestant, has succumbed to one of the small fires that still populate the area.
Abstract pushes Autumn behind himself and protectively stands in front of her to confront their muggers. "Sorry dude, we did not bring any money; didn't think we'd need it but can't you let us go I'm a new Yorker and I just got back after a very long trip." [Diplomacy: 5] "Well if you got back from a long trip, you must be carryin' something right? Hand it over." The men do not back off but they put their hands down, including the one with a knife, and appear to be less aggressive. Abstract decides that this is the perfect opportunity to put those filibuster skills he learned to use. [Dullness vs. Tenacity: 1+2(Politics/Law) vs. 4] Abstract explains that Autumn and his lack of money is due to a current downward trend in the economy, and makes up a story about how they put their assets in a cat furniture company, which is why they have no cash. This sucessfully bores the muggers to tears, until Abstract mentions the name of said cat furniture company. "Wait, youz' invested in Meowerz?!" "Hey, that's the name of the company that put ours out of business!" "Yeah, youz' people is the reason we dontz' got any work!" The men get back into a fighting pose even more angered than before; they are no longer out for just money, but revenge on what they believe was Abstract's fault.
[9+2 vs. 7] One of the men jabs at Abstract who goes into wrestling mode, ducking under the punch and then tackling the man, smashing his shoulder into his stomach and putting him on the ground. [4+2 vs. 2] The mugger is too surprised to retaliate when Abstract sinks his fist into his mouth, knocking him out. [5 vs. 8+2] The knife wielding assailant attempts to backstab Abstract while he the wrestling politician has mounted his pal, but Abstract is quick enough to roll away, from the blade which stabs through thin air. [2+2 vs. 4] Abstract, from a kneeling position, latches onto the mugger's leg and attempts to take him down but strong mugger is able to kick him off. [8 vs. 1+2] Abstract stands up, and as he does the knife-wielding mugger moves much faster than he anticipated and jams his knife deep into Abstract's stomach. Autumn screams. The third mugger, looking around in a panic of a job gone wrong in every way, runs off before anything else can happen.
DolosusDoleus wraps the tripod legs of his camera on the rear of the saddle on his racehorse, positioning it in a way so that it can perfectly capture everything behind him. He turns it on and presses the recording button, prepared to capture some legendary never-before-seen footage that will put those bozos at CNN to shame. He rides for the center of town, towards the epicenter of the purple-glowing phenomena, shouting off about preserving the unity of both The Union of the United States and the Empire of Japan, equally a fan of both. He stops his horse in front of the swirling portal, just far enough so that the Aztec warriors who have taken cover several hundred meters away in a strip of stores can not fire on him. He is so close to the portal that he can see through it, and sees the sight of rows upon rows of Aztecs in what in some sort of grand mansion marching towards him.
NAV finalizes his transformation into a shark, his beady black eyes staring at the Samurai who has wounded him; NAV's sudden expansion is too much for the interior of the car, and his massive size breaks through the roof, forcing it off of the top of the car. Greatness, realizing his predicament of being in a sinking car with a vengeful shark, hastily rips off his seatbelt with one hand while firing at NAV with the other, only to discover by this point that his rifle has filled up with water and is unable to fire. [10+3 vs. 2] NAV lunges forward and sinks his teeth around Greatness's head, his sheer power is able to break through Greatness's neck and skull instantly, an injury that no amount of enhanced regeneration would be able to fix. Greatness's body goes limp as the shark chows down, its teeth chomping through even the toughest parts of the Samurai armor. There is enough nutrition in Greatness that NAV is able to close his neck wound while simultaneously minimizing his torso bleeding. When he has finished, only a few bits of spare metal and Greatness's weapons are what remains of him, all of which sinks to the bottom of the lake along with the car. The one downside for NAV is that during his transformation, he let go of all of his carried material, meaning that everything from his car to his money and other goods would be disappearing along with Greatness's stuff. In the end, it is a worthwhile trade for continuing to be alive.
NAV has devoured Greatness!
+1 Point!
+Article: Soucouyant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soucouyant)
Elephant Horse gets on his horse and continues to ride away from the region of refugees and angry Aztecs, following the road which leads him South to an even smaller town called Lark; he might had not realized he was even in a new town if he hadn't passed a small sign declaring it. Some road signs indicate what is up ahead: Further to the South is a road which contains some churches and dairy farms, eventually leading up to a park. If you go West and then cut towards the South you could visit the Holland Wildlife Area. Going straight West you hit another small town, Greenleaf, and further West is Wrightstown, a suburban town boasting over 2,000 residents, the first nearby place that is comparable in size and population to Denmark.
Twinwolf holds his position behind the storefront, his team ready for any Aztecs to charge on their position. After several minutes of waiting for an assault, it is clear that the Aztecs are now on the defensive. Twin takes the opportunity to pull his people away from the Aztecs and back towards the Western portion of town to regroup and find additional people. It is soon clear that the whole town at this point has been entirely cleared out, and Twin's patriots were most likely the last non-combatants left in the area. One of the Patriot's points out that if they all stay silent, they can hear the sound of a vehicle coming from a few blocks away, though still unseen.
Execute, forced to attend to his wounds instead of continuing to fight, flies for the portal. On the way, he spots an armored man on his horseback in front of the portal, but his priorities right now put healing over fighting. When he passes through, Execute halts the next section of reinforcements from going in the portal, and redirects them into finding something to stop his bleeding. The Aztecs are stunned at first to see their God badly injured, but they quickly make it their top priority to help him out. (1) The Aztecs search the mansion, but unfamiliar with both its modern layout and what modern medicine looks like, come back empty handed. Execute then attempts to stifle the bleeding himself, taking some spare cloth (2) and ripping it in a way that makes it unusable.
With their enemies driven away, the Aztecs stay put in the shelter of the various stores, taking the time to reload their weapons, check on casualties, and begin barricading the storefronts with chairs, furniture, and whatever large objects they can find. DolosusDoleus would be a target, but at the moment he is too far for even the best Aztec arch to hit without abandoning the safety of the stores, and so far he has shown no signs of hostility towards them.
In this respite of combat, Yuri reloads his rifle. He puts Dolosus in his iron sights, but does not fire upon him, waiting for him to make a move before the Russian decides he is friend or foe.
As a result of Execute's intervention, there are no Aztec Reinforcements this turn.
The Sunset Invasion:
Leaders: Execute, Yuri
Active: 100
Casualties: 86
Close to Denmark's border, a blue portal appears in the sky and spits out a woman, along with several vehicles that land perfectly upright next to her. Dressed like a person of the wild, dressed in animal skins with a fire in her eyes, she stares down the town, the location of her next hunting ground.
Beirus shall hunt you down!
The snowy clouds are swept away and replaced by the brilliant sun. Denmark begins to thaw.

do not remove the knife it's certain death if I do now immediately call the ambulance saying I just got stabbed in the stomach.
"ow....I kinda expected to get stabbed but not in the stomach....c-cant remove it will bleed out ambulance is key...."
There were three muggers total: One who you knocked out, one who ran away, and one with the knife who is still fighting you.

Interesting quest. Minnesota is a ways away(though probably not as far as New York), but hey. I do have a bonus to the proper genre of music for this(though no instruments, which would probably be required), but I rather doubt it would be in character for me to drive all that way. Maybe later, perhaps with Elephant Parade. I may have declared vengeance on a couple people, but I don't think they weren't one of them. Anyway, if multiple players take part in the cover, is the reward split evenly or does everyone involved get 2 points.
Drive back to the portal to retrieve my fallen comrade.

Hmm. In this case, I'll let everyone get 2 Points if they work together and are successful.
-
Hmph, no medical bonus? It wouldn't have done much anyway, but still.
Alright, send a few back to their own land (and another few through the portal to Denmark) for medical supplies like bandages, any kind of antiseptics, and stitches, if they don't know what any of these things are, try to explain it to them.
In any case, continue to try stifiling the bleeding.

((Should I get an extra article since Greatness had 2 kills?))
Scavenge as much of mine and Greatness's stuff as I can from the bottom of the lake (Hold it in my mouth) then return to land, turn human again, and find a really good hiding spot (using guerrilla warfare knowledge?).
-
continue to drive to the hospital hopefully my insurance will cover this

I probably should have applied it, but in this case the difference between a 2 and a 4 is negligible, since all you were using was a cloth bandage. Even a 9 or a 10 with creating an improvised cloth tourniquet would have stopped the bleeding, but at the end of the day even an amazing cloth tourniquet is still a cloth tourniquet.
((Should I get an extra article since Greatness had 2 kills?))
2/2 = 1 Point.

Okay, even though that was the death of me, it was the coolest death I've ever seen in a Forum Game. If it's no trouble, I'd like to re-waitlist, please. Also, is it okay if I spectate until I join back in? I won't metagame, and the situations are too oddly epic to ignore.

Elephant Horse
I'm pretty sure that's not an animal. Or my username, for that matter. :P
Go to the Holland Wildlife Area.

((If I remember from my high school history classes, the Aztecs believed that horses were gods/immortal, and as such feared them. Will that effect anything involving my interactions with the Aztecs?))
Take cover behind one of the shops. Make sure that the camera shows both myself and Yuri, take aim with my revolver, and shoot Yuri in the head while muttering about "those dirty separationists". If any of the Aztecs make a move towards me, instead start moving erratically on the horse while still aiming for Yuri.
-
((If I remember from my high school history classes, the Aztecs believed that horses were gods/immortal, and as such feared them. Will that effect anything involving my interactions with the Aztecs?))
Most likely not, as these Aztecs are not actually "true" Aztecs. As I explained a while ago before you had even waitlisted, Execute's power to open up portals in paintings leads him to worlds that are not realistic but instead were based on what the artist was portraying. These Aztecs are a romanticized version created by an artist that lived in a time when the Aztec Empire was long gone, so he likely left out many details about them, or maybe remembered such details but left them out to convey the Aztec people more to his liking instead of portraying them realistically.
Note that the painter of the painting that led to the Aztec world was himself created by the painter of the mansion; so this further dilutes the realism of the Aztec painting since it is painting by a painter that was created by yet another painter who imagined how he would paint, and this goes for everything else; the mansion and the world outside of it are a not-completely realistic (since all paintings are influenced by subjectivity) portrayal of a past time period.
-
((It worries me that I have 2 planes and no flying skill, otherwise I'd be flying to those "purifying waters" right now because I think I know where to go.))
Look for tracks or signs of my opponents. Also, check to see if there is anything of use in my bus or planes.

FallacyofUrist cackles under her breath. She had a part to play in this game.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Fire the Mountain Gun at DolosusDoleus.

((Oh, I thought it was 1 point from my kill + 1 from greatness's 2 kills.))
Maybe I should change the wording in the OP. It's always the number of Points they had, divided by 2, rounded up. So if you kill someone with 3 Points, you get 2, 5 will get you 3, etc.

I'll add you back in. And there is no rule against spectating, everyone not currently playing is allowed to do so.

Round 50: Cocaine's a Hell of a Drug
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (10.5 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
Elephant Parade, who is a completely different person from Elephant Horse, continues down the road and then makes a detour down towards the Holland Wildlife Area, guided by signs along the way. At the site, a sign declares that the wildfire area consists of part hardwood forest, part cedarwood forest and open grassland which is part of a prairie restoration project. The site is designated as a public hunting ground and contains deer, turkey, cottontail rabbits, pheasants, raccoons and foxes.
Beirus, having literally just fallen out of the sky, begins to search her nearby vicinity for any tracks or clues that would lead her to the location of her competition. [Tracking: 8] Looking in the snow near the perimeter of the abandoned refugee camp, she spots what looks like fresh tire tracks leading out onto the road down deeper into Denmark, suggesting that someone in a vehicle had just left this area not too long ago. Additional tracks reveal that either dogs or wolves are in the nearby area. Before heading out on the hunt, she scours the vehicles that appeared along with her for any useful supplies left in them. [Scavenging: N/A] There appears to be noting of note in any of the planes nor the bus, which are all equipped with the right features for piloting and driving but are completely bare otherwise.
[Items from Articles are bare of any extraneous equipment as if they had just been created minutes ago, unless specified otherwise.]
Execute demands that two parties of Aztecs in the mansion are to split up and searching for medical supplies through the different portals, one in Denmark and the other back in the Aztec homeland. The Aztecs easily learn the concepts of bandages and stitches since they are similar to medical practices that already exist in their society, and while they are also familiar with antiseptic in plant form, it is clear they would find difficulty finding a bottle of it since they have never seen pure liquid antiseptic before, and lack the ability to read English packaging.
The first party arrives in Denmark and immediately begins to scour the stores nearby for medical supplies. [Scavenging: 5] They look around and find nothing that Execute described, but they do grab a bottle of pills and take it with them for the return.
The second group goes back to their village. [Scavenging: 10+2(Environmental Familiarity)] After a quick visit to the nearest medicine man explaining how Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal has been gravely injured, they are given an abundance of medical supply, far more than would be necessary to treat Execute.
While waiting for both groups to return, Execute attempts once again to stifle his bleeding. [Medical: 4+2] Taking off another piece of cloth, he manages to secure a tourniquet that does not stop the blood flow, but it does keep it in check long enough for him to be able to wait for his scavenging parties to return.
After laughing like a simpleton watching a movie consisting of nothing but groin-trauma based human, FallacyofUrist again fires off her booming Mountain Gun, this time towards the ground at the center of town, trying to hit a horse riding man who had just past her vision. [1 vs. 10] The Mountain Gun certainly goes off, the only problem is that the explosive reaction doesn't travel out of the cannon and instead just results in a local explosion right next to Fallacy. [5] Fallacy is thrown away by the propulsive force of the explosion while the gun bursts into dozens of metal pieces. As a result, she suffers painful burns all over her right arm.
Abstract currently has a knife in his stomach, and by all his power he is determined to not let the mugger pull it out of him which could likely resulting in his death. [8+2 vs. 9] Abstract tries everything from a kick to the groin to hooks to the jaw, but his assailant turns and twists his body to avoid the full brunt of these attacks, still getting hit but only by glancing attacks. [2 vs. 6+2] When he does attempt to remove the knife, Abstract takes the opportunity to wrap his right hand around the mugger's throat. [5+2 vs. 1] The mugger switches focus from taking back his switchblade to trying to yank Abstract's arm to prevent a successful chokehold from taking place, but he fails as Abstract applies heavy force to his carotid artery and he quickly succumbs to nap time. With two unconscious muggers and a third on the run, Abstract has Autumn call for an ambulance, who she talks to through her own tears. While they wait for the ambulance, she attempts to stop the bleeding, declaring that she has some first aid knowledge. [Medicine: 7+1] She places a hold on pressure points to cut down on Abstract's circulation until the ambulance arrives on the scene. Two EMT's leap out, not wasting time as they place Abstract on a stretcher. "What happened here?"
NAV swims down in his lake, reclaiming as much of Greatness's supplies as well as his own that has been lost to the water. [Swimming: 4+3] The car is obviously not recoverable, the guns too much water damage to function, and many of the smaller objects like money or jewelry are too small to be found. What NAV is able to pick up are all of Greatness's weapons including both of his javelins and swords (which he very carefully keeps balanced in between his teeth), and additionally the shark locates the Cardenas Medal on the bottom of the lake by noticing a round-shaped object that contrasted with everything else in the area. NAV resurfaces and spits of all of these items onto the nearest point of land next to his position, and then he reforms on the shore, transitioning back from shark to a human. As he stands up, he realizes how cold it is since all of his clothes were previously destroyed leaving him naked; at least the sun was shining now and melting away all the snow. He walks up to his new weapons stockpile and realizes that while he can just wear the medal around his neck, carrying two javelins and two swords without the appropriate holding devices that came in Greatness's Samurai Armor is extremely cumbersome. He can carry one weapon in each hand, but that's it. [Guerrilla Warfare: 6+1] NAV applies his knowledge of Guerrilla Warfare to the present situation; if he was going to launch an ambush on someone, where would he hide? His attention becomes focused on a small coniferous forest near the lake, full of large, piney trees that provide solid concealment.
Person drives back towards the portal in an effort to retrieve the body of his fellow soldier and perhaps find a way to send it back to his family, or at least give it a burial service worthy of a courageous young man. [Perception vs. Stealth: 1 vs. 5] Person can't help shape the feeling that something is peering at him, but he can't see anyone around just yet. As he gets closer to the portal, he can spot the body of the Buffalo Soldier from a distance among the dozens of corpses, but he can also he see that just across the street is a horde of Aztec that have shacked up in some storefronts. If he tries to just drive right in front of them, he would surely be filled with so many arrows and throwing spears he would turn into a human/sea-urchin hybrid. That's not the only strange sight, as he also spots a fellow dressed like a Samurai Warrior riding atop a horse and going behind one of the stores closer to the portal...
Dolosus is no greenhorn when it comes to the art of combat, so he quickly realizes that a sniper has his rifle pointed right at him. He rides behind the cover a store, [2] which turns out to be made of wood and furthermore has already been damaged by fire. There's no time to search for better cover however, as he adjusts the camera to ensure it will catch all of the upcoming action. He mutters some disparaging words about "separations" before he trots his horse to the corner of his flimsy cover, peeks out of the corner and begins firing his revolver at the sniper. [9 vs. 5+2(Cover)-1[Injury]] Dolosus unloads two of his bullets as he fires into Yuri's sniper nest before he can recover, and the Samurai/Civil War Officer watches with satisfaction as Yuri falls backwards, obviously being hit by a bullet at full force.
High tyrol continues to wait in traffic until it progresses where she can take the exit and get to the nearest hospital, Grant Memorial. She parks in the lot and hobbles into the hospital awaiting treatment in the Emergency Room. She is quickly taken in for screenings and procedures when she is asked by the doctor about her insurance, which she lacks any form of card or other identification for, but claims she has anyways. [Persuasion: 5] She attempts to make up a long wind excuse about how she lost her forms, which the doctor obviously thinks is bullshit but takes pity on her. He says Tyrol will be billed but can have an extended period to pay for the cost. The doctor says after [1 Turn] of treatment, she can be released.
Twinwolf and his team of Patriots stay behind a small brick wall and await for the sound of the vehicle in case it is hostile. Eventually it comes into view, its engine roaring as it sputters along as it appears to be a man in a military uniform driving a large potato. He does not appear to be hostile, or at least he fails to notice Twinwolf's or his crew in the first place. The Patriots move to take preemptive aim at the driver at first, but are too flabbergasted by the sight to react and they simply let it pass in peace. As it drives off, there is an awkward silence between the five of them. "...so...that was a thing."
Yuri suffers a grievous shoulder injury, but despite this he still clamors back towards his sniping perch, grunting through the pain and attempting to get his sights back on his attacker. Dolosus, seeing that Yuri has recovered by an extent, directs his horse into running an erratic non-specific pattern to make himself a harder target. [8-2 vs. 1+2] Somehow, even in his badly wounded condition, Yuri shoots off a series of bullets, one of which manages to hit Dolosus in the ankle. Dolosus's armor prevents the bullet from penetrating all the way through and thus it leads to only light bleeding, but it injures his bone nonetheless. The rider curses but is skilled enough to not fall off his horse.
Meanwhile, the team of Aztecs that Execute sent to retrieve medical supplies from Denmark are set to return to the portal when they spot Dolosus engaging in a shootout with their high priest. The Aztecs halt their current mission to aid Yuri by throwing the projectiles they had at Dolosus, [4 vs. 9+2] and failing to strike the talented horseback rider. [8 vs. 2] Dolosus retaliates by shooting two bullets into their ranks and killing off two of them with a pair of clean headshots, the survivors of the group disengage and make a fast break for the Portal.
Elsewhere, the Aztecs sent back home return to Execute with a cartload of medical supplies. [10+2] Within minutes, Execute's formerly life threatening wound is patched up completely, and he feels better than ever, possibly due to knowing that he will live but more likely it is due to the liberal use of coca leaf in his treatment.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points

Sat the above try to at least look or sound confident and okay to make Autumn feel better just because I got stabbed is no reason to worry the lady.
-
Ssssshit.
I have Xan level luck with rolls, it's insane.
Grab any remaining medication, fly up to our loyal companion and try to patch up Yuri, if the attempt isn't fully successful, or I don't have any medicine remaining, fly up there, then fly him back down to the portal, and get a few Aztecs to take him back through and patch him up.
If I have any time remaining, start shooting that horserider's horse but first get to cover..
-
"They seem different from that other samurai. Much as I hate to tar people with the same brush, I remain skeptical. Still, at least he's shooting those damnable invaders. Enemy of my enemy I suppose."
Drive my vehicle closer to the samurai. Greet him cautiously with my gun raised, offering teamwork or at least a truce until the portal is dealt with. If they seem up for working together, depart the vehicle and take my keys with me to join them in cover(or invite them aboard, should they desire). If not, attack them.
(Hah, we've both got shot right ankles Dolosus. That's something in common right? Anyway as much as I'd like teamwork, it'd probably be better to hash things out in character. Also I kind of forgot which color I was using but I'm pretty sure it was this one.)

((So is that agility penalty only going to affect me when I'm not riding my horse, or is it going to somehow affect my riding ability?))
Point the camera at Person as he approaches.
"Aye. A truce would be the ideal thing."
Swing to camera over to face Execute, make more hard-to-follow movements, and shoot Execute in the head. After that, find some better cover and reload the pistol.

((So is that agility penalty only going to affect me when I'm not riding my horse, or is it going to somehow affect my riding ability?))
Agility refers to your own personal agility, not your horse's, so it will not effect you on Horseback. If your horse were the one injured instead, then that woild definitely make an impact.

Round 51: The Second Alliance
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (9.1 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
Beirus takes the keys out of each of the vehicles, preventing them from being snatched away while she is gone, and then begins moving towards the direction in which the tracks lead, which is further into the heart of Denmark. [Perception vs. Stealth: 10 vs. 5] As Beirus makes her way sneaking among the ruined cars, fallen buildings and other debris, she spots Twinwolf and his band of armed men trying to hide, though from the angle of the hunter the Patriots are easily exposed, and currently unaware of her position as she takes some of her special Janis Throwing Thorns out of her pouch. [4+2 vs. 7] She throws several of the sharp thorns at the men, some of them landing close but none hitting them directly, one of the thorns impales itself into the wall a couple inches in front of Twin's face. The Patriots quickly take notice of Beirus, "Watch out, that chick's throwing shit at us!" [3 vs. 8] Several pistol shots are directed at Beirus, encouraging her to scamper away and run past the corner as bullets whiz by her.
"They seem different from that other samurai. Much as I hate to tar people with the same brush, I remain skeptical. Still, at least he's shooting those damnable invaders. Enemy of my enemy I suppose." Person considers this new character and ends up driving his Potatomobile into the lot containing the Aztec portal, one hand raised in a gesture of friendship while the other is secretly kept on the handle of his pistol in case first contact goes south. However, the filming Samurai accepts his offer of a partnership, "Aye. A truce would be the ideal thing." Person leaps off his Potato ride, taking the keys to it with him and joins Dolosus in the search for cover.
While High tyrol is being treated at the hospital, she requests for a notepad to continue work on her poem on the suject of cowboys and Aztec Gods. [9+2] She makes several adjustments and edits to the poem, creating new draft after new draft until it is no longer just your average Cowboy/Aztec poetry but a truly unique tale of a regular ole' cow herder who gets into a fiddlin' contest against a High Deity.
High tyrol is then released from the hospital feeling right as rain and given an extension on her bill, which comes out to $300 thanks to the wonderful bureaucratic system that is American healthcare. She is under no real obligation to pay it unless she's going to visit a hospital that could find out about this bill in the future....
Elephant, in this new secluded tiny natural paradise, turns to a new inspiration for songs; not guns, but animals and their various sounds! [Musical Composition: 5+2] The new piece, inspired by the sounds of the playful fox contrasting with the noisy woodpecker, is your standard atmospheric music. It wouldn't be a smash hit most likely, but it could see a market in either weird hippies that like listening to animals for the hell of it or middle aged couples who want to put some soothing music on as a sleeping aid. His horse, meanwhile, takes this lull in activity to chomp down on some grass.
Execute grabs as much medication as he can before running towards the portal and leaping through the air to get a start on his ascension as he flies towards Yuri, rushing to help his ally in need. He lands by the sniping high priest and pulls him away from the edge of the building and towards cover, doing his best to wrap up his shoulder. [7+2] Execute patches up the shoulder wound so well that it's like it never even happened, though in the interest of time he does not work on Yuri's foot.
Peering over the side of the building, Execute and Yuri spy on two men plotting next to a building beneath them, the one on horseback is the one Yuri identifies as his shooter. While they are busy conversing, Execute whips out his Police Pistol and starts firing down upon them, aiming specifically for the horse. (5 vs. 2) Execute pops off two shots, one of them burying into the horse's flank, wounding it.
Deep in the forest underneath the thick cover of a pine tree, NAV's skin peels off from his body, falling beneath him into one pile of human flesh as beneath it he reveals another one of his forms, a floating, glowing blue-tinted ball of energy. This new Soucouyant flies up into the air above the forest and begins soaring over towards Denmark in search of prey, posing the entire time as an innocent fireball or maybe just some odd ball lightning making its way downtown, floating fast. NAV floats above the city for a while, looking for an easy target, when it spots a lone Fallacy working on a broken gun. (10 vs. 3-1) While she is busy working on her gun, NAV descends on Fallacy and attaches to the back of her neck, drawing the blood out of it like a giant mosquito.
"Tried to mug me and they failed." Abstract talks to the EMT's as they load him into the back of an ambulance. Amber follows him into the medical vehicle, a look of deep concern stretched across her face; Abstract flashes her a reassuring thumbs-up and a tiny smile breaks out across her face. [2+2] The medics attempt to do as much as they can, trying to close up the wound but it is difficult due to its size and depth as well as the ambulance jerking and juking around corners as it races to the nearest hospital. Amer holds Abstract's hand as he fights for consciousness, [1] but he ultimately passes out from a combination of blood loss and shock, though he is still alive for now.
Dolosus films his meeting with Person as they agree to be allies for now, here he hopes that this film will mark an important phase in his documentary, where he makes his first friend in this great free-for-all. While this is going on, Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal interrupts this nice moment by popping up and shooting at Dolosus and Person, missing both of them but hitting Dolosus's horse in the butt, the stallion crying in pain and taking a few staggered steps; what kind of asshole shoots a horse? When Dolosus gets his mount to ride away in order to be a harder target, he orients the camera back towards the Tower of Snipers and fires the last two shots he has left in his piece. [8 vs. 9] The Aztec leaders duck down and both bullets miss them by a hair. [2 vs. 1] Execute takes two shots of his own, one of them hits but does nothing more than skim the side of Dolosus's helmet, making a satisfying *plink* sound. [7 vs. 4+2] Yuri, for his part, shoots at Dolosus and scores a hit on his body, although its also a skimming shot and is mostly absorbed by Dolosus's armor, the bullet scratches the Samurai by as it flings past, giving him the damage equivalent of a long papercut on his left side which should make for a cool scar in a few minutes.
Dolosus flies, riding his horse behind a building to reload. Dolosus finds his horse to be panting and almost out of breath when it would normally be fine even after some heavy duty maneuvers; this was surely due to its current injury.
Execute's Cocoa High wears off.
FallacyofUrist bends over and begins to attempt to put the pieces of her beloved Mountain Gun back together, when she feels something attached to the back of her neck. Her work becomes slow and sluggish, as if she were becoming weak. Looking over her shoulder, her eyes widen when she sees the glowing ball of energy sucking the blood out of her neck like some sort of ethereal vampire. [5-1 vs. 10] Fallacy runs around, trying desperately to shake the Soucouyant off of her but the ball remains fixed on the back of her neck, blood visibly seeping out of her despite the lack of any visible openings in her skin. Fallacy begins to grow Anemic, but with her heightened stamina she was able to remain conscious and focused when a normal person would have passed out.
46 Aztecs comes through the Portal.

The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
NAV, can I nerf your current form? So that instead of being killed only by pouring salt on your human skin, instead you can be killed by destruction of the skin ny any means? Otherwise, characters either have to metagame or somehow figure out that the Soucouyant is vulnerable to salt which they would be hard pressed to do without an explainable reason for being interest in Carribean Mythology. Even if this nerf were enacted, theu would still be unable to permanently harm you unless they could locate your hidden skin in the first place.
-
Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal seems to hesitate for a moment, before popping back down into cover and yelling after his victims.
"SORRY ABOUT SHOOTING YOUR HORSE, IF YOU WANT I COULD CHUCK YOU SOME MEDICATION FOR THE HORSE, THOUGH I STILL WOULDN'T SUGGEST USING IT AFTER THAT.
ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SORRY ABOUT YURI HITTING YOU IN THE ANKLE, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET, ASSHOLE."
After that little bit of fun, let's let Yuri pin down those other two while I command ten or twenty Aztecs to sneak around the building they're hiding behind and take them out in a surprise attack, also, fire down at any potential enemies that may arrive while they're still in my range.
((Did I see NAV flying around?))
-
Per her orders, Twinwolf had the Patriots sneak away from the main site of the battle so they would not be in range at the moment.
You could have easily seen NAV, though to the casual observer he would appear as anything from a fireball to ball lightning, certainly not a monster unless you had a background in Carribean Mythology.

FallacyofUrist gets a manic grin on her face and begins running(+1)... towards the Aztecs.
"Behold, I am ze GODESS OF FIRE!"

Point out the body of my fallen comrade to Dolosus.
"That man was my ally, and they killed him. I wish to bury him if possible. Should we be able to retrieve his body, I could not thank you enough."
Start shooting Aztecs, prioritizing their leaders. Follow Dolosus in cover whenever possible.

Point the camera at Person's fallen ally. "I see him. We'll give these dishonorable bastards what they deserve."
Dismount the horse so that it has a chance to recover a bit. Pull out my katana and defend Person from any incoming Aztecs has he attempts to shoot Yuri and Execute. Make any adjustments neccesary so that the camera can capture as much action as possible.

Round 52: Sweet Dreams
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (8.9 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
Person points to a uniformed body lying among the bloody landscape in front of the portal. "That man was my ally, and they killed him. I wish to bury him if possible. Should we be able to retrieve his body, I could not thank you enough." After Dolosus indicates that they will be able to retrieve the body of the fallen Buffalo Soldier, Person returns his attentions to the leaders of the army that lead to his companion's undoing. [4+2 vs. 5+2(High Cover)-1] Both of Person's shots go overhead Execute and Yuri as they duck down behind the edge of the building. Dad feels a pang of nostalgia for the good ole' days in the Great War when snipers hiding atop buildings could be dealt with by tanks or artillery.
Abstract falls into a blood-loss induced catatonic state, where he dreams [1] of a long, wide non-descriptive tunnel, at the end lies a bright low and a warm presence. Attracted to it, Abstract begins to move towards this wonderful light, wanting to bask in its presence. In reality, this does not bode well for him. Despite their best efforts, Abstract's vitals begin to shut down and his heart monitor flatlines. Autumn completely breaks down and collapses over his body, sobbing hysterically. Abstract to the onlooker appears, despite his condition, to be totally at peace as if he is in a deep slumber.
And so he walks closer and closer to this shining orifice until it consumes him, engulfing his very being. And then, Abstract is-
Abstract has relinquished control of his life to enter the Great Beyond.
After hearing Person's request to recover the body of his fallen comrade, Dolosus captures the soldier's body on film, a shot that would tug at the heartstrings of his future audience. "I see him. We'll give these dishonorable bastards what they deserve." The Samurai leaps off of his horse allowing it to recover from its recent trauma, and pulls his Hanzo Blade from its sheath. With a steely resolve, he assumes a battle stance as he approaches the latest batch of Aztec recruits while Person attempts to deal with the leaders of the Sunset Invasion. Upon seeing him, the Aztecs face Dolosus, pulling up their spears and loading their bows as their first New World enemy approaches. After a few moments of sizing each other up, both sides charge with their respective warrior's cry, a squad of Aztec spearmen sprint at Dolosus while he fearlessly comes at them equally as fast, Katana raised overhead. [6+2 vs. 5] Dolosus meets the Aztec's by chopping the arm off of one Jaguar Warrior and then weaving through the rest of them, slashing apart limb and bone, his armor turning red with blood and viscera. After every member of the first wave is killed or incapacitated, Dolosus dashes at the archers, aiming to taking out as many of them as possible before they can properly aim at him. [4+2 vs. 3] Dolosus bisects two archers and fails to wound any of them further, although he does manage to destroy several bows, cleaving through their strings like a hot knife through butter. The Aztecs are surprised by this sudden onslaught by a new foe similar to the Spaniards that they grown used to fighting, yet his armor and sword style are completely foreign. For now, they back off; in the end, Dolosus has put nine more Aztecs out of service.
FallacyofUrist continues to run in circles screaming like a mad woman, (well an even madder woman) as she tries to detach the Soucouyant from neck as it greedily sapped the literal life out of her. Stopping for a moment to catch her breath, Fallacy realizes that her current tactic was not going to do her any good, when an idea strikes her that is so crazy it might just not fail. She resumes running, but instead of doing so in circles she runs down the hill towards the center of town where the fighting has commenced and the swirling purple portal continues to spawn Aztecs every few minutes. She makes a beeline straight for the Storefronts where the Aztecs have successfully barricaded themselves in, NAV is still attached to her neck glowing like a beacon. "Behold, I am ze GODESS OF FIRE!" She screeches this as she draws closer to the Aztec hideout, [4+1-1-2 vs. 1] and it turns out that a screaming woman with an orb of fire attached to her is enough to inspire panic in the Aztecs. Instead of trying to shoot her full of arrows before she can reach them, the Jaguars flee to the back of their buildings. Once Fallacy actually reaches the stores, she finds that the Aztecs have boarded the windows up with all sorts of hazards from metal shelves to chairs and tables. [2-2] Fallacy attempts to shove a wayward chair out of the way but finds the effort to great, as she falls to her knees, panting as if she had just run a marathon. The combination of constant running and blood being drained out of her system was doing a number on her.
High tyrol looks around her immediate area to find if there are any public notifications posted about some poetry contest or event. [3] On a bulletin board outside of the hospital there is a listing of various local events including an "Open Mic" being hosted at a local coffee shop named "Sheds & Aristocrats" a couple miles down the road near Green Bay. Even though it was likely going to feature college hipsters reading poetry they wrote while high and douches with guitars trying desperately too be laid, it would be better publicity than nothing.
Tyrol returns to her truck and reloads her revolver. After her recent encounters with other Wiki-Warriors, who knew if she would come across another one in her travels.
[To answer your questions, Wit is mostly used for Conversation and can be incorporated into Writing. It can be used as a weapon during arguments and also impresses people who appreciate wit, but at the same time it can anger less witty people.]
After getting shot at for the seventeenth thousand time today, Execute pops out to state his mind on Person and Dolosus, yelling down at them like Frenchman mocking English Knights while he hides atop some castle battlements, "SORRY ABOUT SHOOTING YOUR HORSE, IF YOU WANT I COULD CHUCK YOU SOME MEDICATION FOR THE HORSE, THOUGH I STILL WOULDN'T SUGGEST USING IT AFTER THAT.
ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SORRY ABOUT YURI HITTING YOU IN THE ANKLE, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET, ASSHOLE." Yuri nods fervently, "Excellent speech my lord! Assholes, all of them!" Execute flies off the roof and lets Yuri continue the battle, [2 vs. 1] his assault rifle sprays down at Person and fails to wound him, although it does put a whole in the soldier's uniform, severely reducing its potential market value.
Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal sees a number of his men fighting, and falling against Dolosus who is cutting his forces apart. He swoops down around the corner and waves down a group of about a dozen Aztecs who are surprised to see him, "Psst! Guys, over here!" He rallies them behind some buildings and conveys to them, via hand gestures, that they will sneak behind some buildings to take on Person and Dolosus from behind. Aztec and co. tip-toe into an alleyway, and then peek out of it to find Person and Yuri to the West while the Samurai is to the East. [Stealth 5 vs. 9] Person, waiting for Yuri to come out of cover so that he can try shooting him again, notices Execute and some Aztecs crouched in an alleyway. Before Execute's "master" plan can commence, Person starts shooting on their position, [10 vs. 7] taking down two Aztecs in quick succession followed by hitting Execute through the center of his right wing! The surprised Aztecs begin to flee while Execute curses, firing at Dad before he himself joins the retreat. [9 vs. 7] Execute empties the last of his police pistol clip into Person, two shots straight to the ribs, and then runs after his fleeing Jaguars. Person falls on his back, grasping at his ribs and groaning deep from his belly. He isn't bleeding but two broken ribs certainly hurts like a motherfucker. As for Execute, he is in a state of lesesr pain, but this wing injury was going to hamper his flying ability greatly.
NAV sits on the back of Fallacy's neck, a spiral of blood flowing from her skin directly into the orb as she turned pale as a sheet. [6 vs. 9-1-2+2(Stamina)] Somehow, Fallacy is able to stand once again out of sheer will, her legs wobbling and knees buckling, her vision disoriented as if it were night despite the sun shining brightly overhead. With a final effort, she tries to yank herself free of the Soucouyant, [10-1-2 vs. 3] and actually manages to it as she bangs the back of her neck against the Aztec barricade with enough power that NAV is propelled off of her neck and into the air by sheer force, robbing him of his current food supply. Fallacy fights to stay conscious, [6+2] and does so, leaning against the barricade itself for support.
The Barricaded Aztecs cower in the back of their stores, holding their spears out in front of them and their arrows knocked as if they expected the witch lady to suddenly burst through their barricade with the power of unholy orb.
The Aztecs being lead directly by Execute escape onto the next street away from the Field of Blood, which is the term they had come to use to refer to the empty lot in which most of their combat had taken place.
The Aztecs facing off against Dolosus attempt to mount a counter attack. [2 vs. 10+2] Another band of Spearmen launch themselves at Dolosus, using the encirclement maneuver to gain an advantage; the Samurai calmly converts them into a pile of spare limbs and screaming casualties. [5+2 vs. 4] This prompts the others to begin to flee, though Dolosus is able to catch up with several of them and hamper their attempts to flee by separating spinal cords and hacking off legs.
48 Aztecs come through the portal. The first thing they see is an armored man cutting the legs off of running Aztecs. 17 of them quietly shuffle back through the portal.
The Sunset Invasion:
Leaders: Execute, Yuri
Active: 123(+31)
Casualties: 109
You can't miss the newest entrant to the battle since his jeweled turban shines in the sun, and his massive mount causes the ground to shake with every step it takes. If you befriend him, he could pull you out of financial ruin, but get on his bad side and prepare to get smacked with a broom, or impaled via tusk.
Midnight Jaguar stomps his way into the battlefield!

register my poem at the copyright office then drive to the airport and swap vehicles to the race car if I see any other wiki warriors shoot them with my pistol
-
Jesus fuggin' christ, these guys are like frogs for the meat-grinder, the funniest part is that the casualties list is still smaller than the total remaining Aztecs.
Okay, while I'm running, reload the pistol and get over to where the barricaded Aztecs are to see what all that hubbub is about, see the situation, immediatly draw sides, and command the Aztecs to take the half-drained insane person in, then immediatly rebarricade, if she so much as twitches, kill her, but otherwise try to help her out, in the meantime, fire at the orb of flame, hopefully that bloody thing can be harmed by bullet fire and if it can't then just run like mad while continuing to fire, also meanwhile, hope desperately that I have some medication remaining, enough to patch up a bullet hole at the very least.
-
Charge forward into the mass of Aztecs gathered around the portal like an elephant powered wrecking ball. Try to shoot at the Blood soaked samurai as I pass.
Ahahahaha! flee flee! Ahahahha
I'm beginning to think that the Aztecs will win just through attrition I mean they've been sliced and diced every turn and we haven't even made a dent in the numbers.
-
Use my knowledge of large scale infantry tactics to try to predict the movements of the Aztecs. My knowledge of the area is marginally better than theirs, so try to determine likely ambush locations, choke points, key strategic areas, etc. Continue to follow Dolosus while shooting enemies, and reloading whenever possible. If I have no time to reload, draw my sword instead.
Not sure why I didn't think of using my military knowledge like this before, though I'm not sure it works in this situation. Basically, I'm mostly trying to get a bonus against sneak attacks, or to sneak attacks I suppose. By the way, is my soldier's rifle still sitting there or did someone (probably an Aztec) grab it?
As an aside, does the m1911 count as a world war 1 firearm? I mean, the year it was made is in the name. If so, I've been losing out on a lot of bonuses. Then again you've been fairly consistent in that I don't think I ever got a bonus for it, so it'd be weird for that to change now. That and the thing is still in use today anyway, even if those are apparently mostly variants. Yeah I probably shouldn't get the bonus.
Anyway, game wise we can still win by eliminating Execute himself, as good as his medical care is. Honestly I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't look around for fellow military vets or something like that when I first got here. I've got these great tactics bonuses sitting there unused.

((Eh he died as himself better then my other death and this death had actual caring potential waitlist me))

If I recall correctly, Execute ordered the Aztecs to strip all of the bodies in the area of valuable weapons and equipment.
I suppose it would be a "WWI Weapon", the thing was the gun was in service so long that I don't associate it with WWI. I could give you the bonus if you wanted, after all, get an additional boost in aiming might be what you need to take down a flying dude, his Russian sniper and loyal army.
And yes, one apparent use of giving people military tactics as bonuses would be to find soldiers or experienced veterans in a field and recruit them. But that hasn't really happened yet.
((Eh he died as himself better then my other death and this death had actual caring potential waitlist me))
Rewaitlisted.
-
Nah, not really proper to give me the bonus for it.
Of course, given that the town was wrecked when I got there it kind of makes sense in a way that I didn't look for soldiers. Then again, that might have just motivated those hypothetical soldiers even more.

FallacyofUrist suddenly gets another horrible idea.
"You have seen my power... you have seen my endurance! NOW THEN. I require treatment of my wounds! Attend to me, minions!"
FallacyofUrist orders the Aztecs to treat her wounds. This will probably either epic fail or go off crazy well.
((Wow. That +2 Stamina bonus is just wow.))

Round 53: Grazing Blows
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (8.2 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
The newest reinforcements of Aztecs draw their arms, bows, spears and all while preparing to confront this oddly armored soldier slicing through their ranks, hoping that they can stop his progress as well as the progression of whatever other forces lurk in the dark corners of this strange new world.
And then they feel the rumbling of the Earth as if a volcano nearby had just erupted, followed by a roar that must have come from a beast lurking far below the surface of the ground, now awakened from its slumber. The Aztecs turn to the source of this calamity and spot something charging directly at them, larger than any animal they had seen previously, a gray abomination the size of a large house with horns protruding from its face rather than its head. Atop this demon was a rider, calling down to the Aztecs as he mount came upon them, "AHAHAHA! FLEE, FLEE I SAY!" [Morale: 9-2(Elephant)] A handful of Aztecs break from the group but most of them stay and remain disciplined enough to split into a looser formation, a tactic they had developed to deal with Spanish cavalry charges. The archers aim for the head of the beast while the spearman prepare to launch their weapons when it comes close. [Discipline vs. Elephant Speed: 4 vs. 3] The Aztecs assume battle position just as soon as the grey creature draws into close enough range. [8 vs. 5-1(Large Target] The Aztecs scatter as the elephant charges through, avoiding casualties and simultaneously shooting a few arrows into the side of the Elephant, which does little to stop it, as arrows are hardly enough to penetrate a layer of armor and the thick elephant skin beneath it. After the charge is finished, MidnightJaguar pulls up his rifle and scans the vicinity for a good target, and among the mass of Aztecs he spots one determined Samurai. [6 vs. 7-1] Midnight fires a single bullet at Dolosus which ricochets off of his helmet.
Beirus, having spent the last turn fleeing from Twinwolf and his patriot forces, circles around to the net strike and goes back into stealth mode, now attempting to strike them from the rear. [Stealth: 5 vs. 2] Beirus takes the back road and creeps up towards Twinwolf's position, where his men are focused on looking down the street in the direction that they had last spotted Beirus, taking cover behind ruined vehicles. Beirus takes this opportunity to strike, [8+2+1 vs. 4] And throws two thorns right into the back of a couple Patriots who immediately fall over. The remaining Patriots stand up looking around confused, when Beirus leaps over a pile of rubble and charges them knife-first. One man tries to aim his gun at the warrior woman and gets a slashed arm and a kick to the torso for it, knocking him on the ground.
High tyrol drives down to the Green Bay copyright office to claim the writes of her poem. The woman working the desk there informs her that the poem can be copyrighted, although it costs a $35 fee to do so. High Tyrol, lacking those kinds of funds at the moment, leaves. She then drives back to the airport and parks her pickup truck in the lot and switches it out for her racecar which has been loyally waiting for her this whole time.
Twinwolf intervenes in Beirus's surprise attacking, diving for one of the pistols of a fallen Patriot and opening fire on Beirus. [9 vs. 7+2] Beirus is more agile than the militia leader expects, and scampers on top of a car, avoiding two spare bullets from Twinwolf's gun. The last standing Patriot climbs on the hood of the car and pulls out his knife, [5 vs. 2+2] and slashes into Beirus's right leg, giving her a bleeding but not serious wound.
Person looks around the immediate area and puts his military knowledge to use by determining what are the most strategical positions that could be utilized by himself or his enemies. [3+2-2] Person takes note of the corridors around him, the alleys created between the various buildings that are alternate and more subtle, covered paths to sneak in and out of the main battlefield. After making this observation, he falls on one knee and coughs; it turns out that it is hard to develop a strategical plan when you have two bullest buried in your ribcage. Dad slowly rises to his feet and shoots at some of the nearby Aztec, [1-2 vs. 6] and fumbles his pistol in the process, [3] which results in him shooting himself in the left hand. Person wheezes as he bends up to pick his gun back up and attempts a one-handed reload, [2-2-1] and ends up dropping his last clip of ammunition on the ground, spare bullets rolling away in all directions. As the dejected soldier shambles towards Dolosus, a trio of spearmen come close to him; Person weakly draws out his blade and stands with the intimidation factor of wilting tulip. The Aztecs shake their heads in a pitying manner and hustle away from Person towards other avenues of battle.
Execute and his squad run down the road on the sidelines of the battle and are greeted by two young Aztec soldiers, wielding modern weapons and giving their God a salute. "Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal sir! We recovered these weapons off of some of the bodies like you said. We found two strange weapons, an oddly shaped knife and a fire-stick like the Spanish had." They hand over a partially loaded Springfield Rifle and a Trench Knife to Execute. The junior soldiers attach to Execute's bodyguard troop towards where the barricaded stores have been set up. As they get closer, the group pauses to watch a sickly, almost dead looking woman being encircled by a flying ball of fire. The Aztecs are clearly spooked:
"A spirit of a demon!"
"It has come to live in this bizarre world!"
Execute is less afraid, being accustomed to the weirdness of the Wiki-Wars especially since he was a dimension hopper himself; it was not fear, but anger that drove him to oppose the fireball, anger that he should be the only one allowed to fly around! The leader runs up to the barricade and bangs on the front of it, "Open up and let this woman in! Treat her but if she makes any sort of dangerous move, get rid of her immediately!" The barricades open as the Aztecs behind the wall, remove some of the material, just enough for Fallacy to climb through. NAV, upon seeing this, zooms after her, but Execute leaps in between the orb and its target and fires two shots at it! (6 vs. 7) The swift fireball evades the bullets and zooms right past Execute. The Warleader reloads as quickly as he can, but it isn't fast enough as NAV tries to reattach to Fallacy before she can get into the store. [5 vs. 8-1-2] Fallacy is just able to crawl, or more accurately, stumble through the opening before it closed off, and NAV simply slams into a steel barrier.
Execute takes note that he is on his final clip for the police pistol.
The Aztecs are also freaking out over another entity, and Execute spots an African Elephant stomping around in front of the portal. This was going to be a long invasion.
[Between moving, giving out orders, reloading and shooting at NAV, Execute lacked time to heal himself.]
As Fallacy enters the barricaded store, what looks like was once a normal grocery, she is quickly surrounded by Aztecs ordered to care for her for some reason, but it was best not to question Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal's orders. This is when another one of her brilliant ideas strikes her as she wickedly grins and barks, "You have seen my power... you have seen my endurance! NOW THEN. I require treatment of my wounds! Attend to me, minions!" [Stamina: 10-1-2+2] In this moment, Fallacy's stance does not sway or falter despite her anemic condition. One of the puzzled Aztecs speaks to her, "We were going to treat you anyways? Since you're well enough, why don't you tell us what is wrong with you?" Several of the Aztecs chatter, and Fallacy can overhear it is mostly musing about why Aztec wants them to take care of this random woman, or how she is so fluent in Aztec tongue despite looking more like a Spaniard with her fair hair and skin, if there even such a thing as Spanish woman, as the Conquistadors had been all men.
In contrast to the contrast fighting, injury, and dying, Elephant Parade sits atop his horse in the middle of an idyllic forest. As he rights his songs of animals and nature, he comes to realize that the most musical and noble of creatures is not one hidden in nature but the one that has been by his side since the beginning, the horse. [Musical Composition: 6+2] His short piece, "Horse, Of Course" would no doubt be a smash pop hit if it were produced, one that would be emulated by amateur bar musicians and Youtube cover artists throughout the world.
Dolosus, after spending the previous turn laying waste to the Aztec, returns to his horse who has by now recovered from the shock of being shot, but is still bleeding. As he hops on his mount, it bucks and whines as if it is bothered again. This is when the Samurai finds the source of his horse's panic, an elephant charging down the field, who's rider even takes the time to shoot at Dolosus ineffectively but he can still feel the bullet bounce off of his helmet. After calming his mount, Dolosus trots towards Execute, who looks like he's in terrible shape. A group of Aztec almost begin to converge on Person, but they seem to leave him alone, whether they do not want to fight Person out of fear or pity is up to interpretation. At the same time, Dolosus spots Execute moving with a group of soldiers down the street, and takes the opportunity to pull out his six-shooter, and lay down a couple of shots. [8 vs. 7-1] Dolosus's second shot whiffs and hits the front of the barricade, but his following shot hits Execute in the forearm and causes him to stumble over for a few seconds, almost losing his balance. It fails to do permanent damage but it exasperates his blood loss.
While the barrier stops NAV at first, the Aztecs underestimate the force that they are dealing with as NAV simply slips through a hole in the barricade so small that a fly would get stuck, yet the sucouyant appears before Fallacy and the rest of the Aztecs. Half of the Aztecs scream and run while the others pick their weapons back up and get into fighting mode. NAV flies towards Fallacy past the various food items in his path: doughnuts, apples, pies, hamburgers buns, rice, chicken-wait, rice? NAV stops mid-flight as if compelled like a great power back towards the rice. The fireball floats up to a small packet of "100% Natural White Rice" and opens the bag. The Aztecs rush forward, attempting to slay the demon until they see that it is merely opening up a bag of rice and individually organizing each grain. Confused, they elect to neglect the fireball for now and get back to focusing on helping Fallacy, although a few of them stay close to the fireball in case it becomes violent once again.
[NAV's next turn will consist entirely of Counting Rice Grains.]
16 Aztec Eagle Soldiers appear from the Portal. They are elite military units with a bonus to combat and wield obsidian blades as well as slings.

Abilities:
We Need A Bigger Boat! - While in water, NAV can turn into a Giant Great White Shark. While in this form, he gains +4 Swimming, +3 Biting, and eating large living organisms, such as dolphins or humans, will cure wounds.
The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
Despite the majority of players being involved in serious fighting, no one was killed or even seriously wounded during this round.

Wait, multiple Aztecs just saw it, shouldn't it be running back to it's body?
Also, METAGAMING HOOOOOOOOOO
Seeing the ball of flame flying towards the barricaded Aztecs, Execute... Panics, slightly, he's been under a lot of pressure since this whole thing started, what with going from a prisoner of Aztecs to their god, he was almost pissing himself when it came to meeting the god, he was lucky he got those wings, much less survived, then the getting shot- Three times now - made the whole thing worse, ugh, it was just a mess.
Okay, time to get into the barricaded store, mostly by way of desperately trying to convince them to open up the barricade and slipping through before holding the gun up to the fireball.
"EVERYBODY STAY BACK, THAT INCLUDES YOU YOU INSANE BASTARD THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T KILLED YOU IS BECAUSE YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE TO NOT SEEM LIKE A THREAT DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE YOUR BLOOD LOSS FROM ME I'LL DEAL WIIiiiiiith...
What's it doing?"
Check how far along NAV is from finishing with ordering the rice, if it's nowhere near and it's gonna take a while longer, get the Aztecs to give me some medical attention, if it's going to do so in the next few minutes (Turn), then try emptying another bag of rice next to it, if it moves, order the Aztecs to attack alongside me with the knife, then get medical attention.
Help my personal guard get in, too.
-
Maybe it should go off flying towards its body since it has been seen consuming rice? I'm not sure. Carribean Mythology is mysterious and vague.
-

Maybe it doesn't count if people have been seeing it before and only counts if another person, un-involved with fighting it originally, sees it counting the rice...
Or maybe it only reacts if people draw attention to it, that might work.
-
Sensible, as much as fireball witch ghost spirits can be densible. After all, since the Aztecs saw the Soucouyant in the act of starting to count the rice, they can't "catch" it in the act.
-
So, if we're swinging it that way, I guess the question is, are there any holes in the barricade big enough for me to have seen NAV counting the rice?

I botched that up but for Dolosus actually, not you. It should be [6 vs. 7-1]. The aggresor, in this case you, always has the first number, so your shot was a [6]. Dolosus, for his defensive roll, got a [7], with a penalty due to his previous injuries.

(I think this should count as being caught though, at least within the spirit of the meaning.)

How about whenever you are counting rice, until you are properly "caught" by someone new, you can roll for Willpower every turn to try and pry yourself from the rice, and rolling higher than a 5 will allow you to fly back towards yojr skin?

Round 54: The Second Betrayal
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (6.9 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
With the song of horses in tow, Elephant Parade rides off from the hunting grounds and towards the small-but-not-touched-by-malicious-raining-fire town of Greenleaf, population 607. Surely in a town of this great magnitude, it wouldn't be hard to find musical talent that specializes in pop. [Musical Talent Scouting: 3] Surprisingly, the town has limited musical resources, and asking around Elephant is not able to find any local stars or even amateur bands. One teenager does say he has a hot mixtape and he could lay down some fresh rhymes.
Dolosus trots his horse towards Person, his one and only teammate in these crazy game, the WWI Vet looks like he's taken just about every kind of beating and now limps rather than walks. "You were good son. Real good." Person looks at Dolosus quizzically as the Samurai rotates the camera to face Person and then continues, "Now this is nothing personal okay? You're a goner. The way I see it, I'm gonna put you out of your misery while I benefit. Everybody wins." Person's eyes widen as he realizes what is going on, unsteadily raising his own sword up in the air in an attempt to shield himself as Dolosus holds his Katana above his head, preparing to make a downward strike. [6+2 vs. 5-2-1] The Japanese comes crashing down upon Person and easily smashes through his defense with such power that he slices through Person's right arm at the elbow, the limb falling to the ground still clutching the handle of his Officer's Sword.
Bleeding profusely, [2-2] Dad takes a step forward, as if trying one last-ditch effort to attack Dolosus, but instead falls to his knees in front of him, breathing in sharp, jagged breaths. Dolosus hops off his horse and walks towards Person, sword in tow, soaked with the blood of betrayal. He looks down upon Person pitifully, and the veteran stares back with a steely glare, half furious over this treachery and half dignified acknowledge that he needs no pity for what is coming. Dolosus nods, as if saying "It's not personal, I promise." He thrusts the Katana through Person's left breast in one clean motion, and removes it just as quickly and cleanly. Dad sighs one more time and falls upon his back.
The Samurai bows to his worthy enemy, and then immediately bends down and ransacks his body. After looting Person's body for his gun, mostly-used medkit and keys to the Potato-Mobile, Dolosus stands and looks around the immediate area: currently on one side of him is a man shooting from atop an elephant on his other side there is screaming coming from a barricaded grocery store. "Fuck this shit I'm out." And with that eloquence, Dolosus hops back and his horse and after checking that the camera recorded everything, rides at full gallop away from everything, flipping Execute the bird before disappearing into an alleyway racing away from everyone.
Dolosus has (Dis)Honorably slain "Dad" Person!
He gains 1 Point!
+Article: RV Belgica (1884): (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RV_Belgica_(1884)) +RV Belgica Steamship
[Due to its size, the RV Belgica has spawned in the port of Green Bay.]
When explaining her wound, TheFallacyofUrist grimaces, slightly. "It is only due to my supernatural endurance that I am able to remain standing at this point. Behold!" She shows off the significant burn along her arm which has seared her flesh. "In addition to this... I think I've lost blood. I think that fireball is some kind of vampire. Seriously, how can a fireball be a BLOODY VAMPIRE?" The Aztecs take her burn and blood loss into account, though she can hear them asking each other what a vampire is. "We'll get you something for your arm. For now, just rest, that is the best cure for blood loss if you are no longer reading." [Medical: 5+2] An Aztec Medicine applies a mint-scented herb to Fallacy's burn which is cool to the touch and rids her of the pain.
Execute watches the fireball somehow slip through the closed barrier and into the grocery, followed by the screams of his soldiers. He rushes forward, but out of the corner of his eye he sees the Samurai on horseback, who had been cutting down his forces, give him the finger and then disappear behind a building. Execute dismisses this as unimportant at the moment and bangs on the barricade, yelling to be allowed entrance. The barrier is opened once again and he vaults into the store and points his gun at the fireball which is hovering off the floor. "EVERYBODY STAY BACK, THAT INCLUDES YOU YOU INSANE BASTARD THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T KILLED YOU IS BECAUSE YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE TO NOT SEEM LIKE A THREAT DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE YOUR BLOOD LOSS FROM ME I'LL DEAL WIIiiiiiith..." Execute stops his screaming for a moment to observe the ball of energy not reacting to him, but instead preoccupied with sorting grains of rice on the ground. "What's it doing?" The fireball then rotates towards Execute, as if it were looking at him, and then emits a high-pitched screech. It ascends towards the ceiling at high speeds and before anyone can react, it flies towards the barrier at rocket speed and exits through it, going into the sky until it vanishes from sight. For a moment, everyone is speechless, and then Execute resumes order by asking for medical assistance with his wing. [Medical: 6+2] The Aztec medics are able to fix up Execute's wing, though this time and resource consuming process leaves them neglecting his arm, as well as there now being a shortage of medicine that has been so liberally used in the past few turns. Execute's bodyguard force enters into the grocery after their leader.
Beirus ignores the Patriot who slashed her leg and elects to jump off the roof of the car and onto Twinwolf, brandishing her knife from above, its tip pointed downwards. [4+2 vs. 3] Twinwolf is not fast enough to evade the attack allowing Beirus to rake her knife across the nationalist leader's face, creating a large bleeding gash in the left side, though it does miss the eye.
MidnightJaguar sees Person hobbling away towards his Samurai friend and identifying his WWI Uniform, decides that he should does his part in helping a fellow veteran of the Great War out once he can remove the Aztecs in his path. [Morale: 10-2(Elephant Intimidation)] Despite the massive elephant stomping around, the Aztecs hold their ground and continue to pelt it with arrows and spears. [6 vs. 9] The attempts to penetrate the elephant's flesh result in glancing blows and Midnight refuses to let his beast stand there and take an assault uncontested. [5+2 vs. 4] With Midnight's guidance, the Elephant charges into a section of Aztecs and sends over half a dozen of them flying as they torn and tossed aside with the aid of massive tusks. At this point, the Aztecs back off for the moment which gives Midnight a chance to move towards Person. He has the elephant walks towards his fellow veteran but it is too late; Person is lying on his back in a pool of blood missing an arm and with a hole in his chest while the Samurai is riding off into the beyond.
High tyrol drives down to the coffee shop where the Open Mic is being held, specifically Sheds & Aristocrats, preparing to give her poem the exposure it needs for her to really gain some success. S&A's is located in a suburban plaza about a couple miles out of Green Bay. Tyrol parks in the lot and before she enters the lot, she looks at one of the posters on the store's front that describes the event and checks for anything that would result in her forfeiting the rights to her work, upon further observation there is nothing like that. She goes inside and sits in front of the stage, listening to amateur folk music and angsty poetry until a spot opens up for her. She walks up to the mic, and performs "The Sky God Came Down to Texas". [Poetic Performance: 9+2+1(High Quality Poem)] After half an hour, Tyrol finishes and the whole room is silent, and she thinks that her poem had utterly failed until she is given a rousing standing ovation by the entire crowd. It's a crowd of about fifty people, but is enthralling nonetheless.
Twinwolf, after getting slashed across the face, attempts to shoot Beirus while the alien woman does her best to see where Twin is aiming and preemptively dodge. [3+2 vs. 10+2] Twin fires three shots, and with each Beirus not only jukes out of the way of the bullet entirely but gets closer and closer with each failure to hit. [5+2 vs. 2] Before Twinwolf can shoot the fourth time, Beirus bats his gun away with her free hand and then lunges with her knife and nails him with two quick stabs to the stomach region. Twin wolf backs up, covering up his wounds with one hand and keeping the gun upright with the other. His non-injured Patriot rushes Beirus from behind, [1 vs. 10+2] and before he even reaches her she drops to the round and performs a spinning ankle kick that sends him flat on his back. [9+2 vs. 3] He tries getting back up, and halfway through he is rewarded with a slash across the neck. He clenches his hands over his neck and crawls away, gurgling and managing to live for the next forty seconds or so. The Patriot with the arm injury tries not to freak out that his leader is getting torn apart, and that his friends are either convulsing from poison or bleeding out rapidly, and also that his arm is leaking everywhere. [Morale: 7] He musters up the courage to stand his ground, and even goes so far as to pick a chunk of concrete off the ground and make a half-hearted effort to hit Beirus. [8-1(Weak Throw) vs. 7+2] Beirus ducks under the projectile and even Twin has to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. Beirus responds by throwing a cluster of thorns, [2+2 vs. 10] which scatter onto the sidewalk, bouncing on the asphalt harmlessly.
NAV is counting the rice, as all Soucouyants must count the rice they find. A Soucouyant encountering rice is like a lost individual in the desert finding a cooler of Mountain Dew, no matter how much they hate themselves, they must do what biology compels them to do. Just as NAV is reaching the halfway point, Execute bursts into the grocery. NAV has been discovered, how dare someone break his focus when he is counting every single grain of rice! Filled with a horrid sense of embarrassment and shock, NAV flies out of the grocery store as fast as possible, whipping through the air at speeds he did not know he could attain; a passerby on the street could easily mistake NAV for a shooting star or ball lighting. He flies and flies until he returns to the grove by the lake on the Eastern side of Denmark. He descends into the trees until he finds his skin hidden under a great Pine. He hovers above his skin, his lovely, warm, fleshy skin which makes him feel relief and calm, washing away the terrible sensation of being caught in the middle of rice counting.
[Fun Fact: Psychologists think that Soucouyants are weird, but Biologists describe them as "Alright".]
32 Aztec soldiers spawn from the Portal.
The Sunset Invasion:
Leaders: Execute, Yuri
Active: 147(+32)
16 Eagle Soldiers [+1 Aztec Warfare, Macuahuitl Obsidian Swords, Slings]
Casualties: 116
And yet another portal opens up around the outskirts of Denmark, a greenish swirl that hovers briefly across the ground spits out a giant snail shell before it vanishes. From this shell emerges the competition's most unique looking contestant yet, as a body with an overall human shape but snail features rises and stands on human-like legs, stretching out human-like arms that clutch a military rifle, in an accordingly military uniform. "For the snails!" It cries a high-pitched, ambiguous noise.
Ukrainian Ranger...oozes(?) into battle!
[All of Ukrainian's watercraft are currently sitting in the port of Green Bay.]
While everything is going on, an event occurs where each contestant receives an audio signal that manifests in various ways:
For Execute and Fallacy, it comes from the grocery's PA System, despite their being no electricity.
For Twinwolf, Beirus, Dolosus, Midnight, and Ukrainian it comes from the radios of vehicles that have been long destroyed, but are somehow still audible. It is similar for Elephant, who hears the signal coming from a parked truck.
Dolosus hears it coming from his camera.
NAV simply receives it telepathically.
Whatever the manifestation is, the actual transmission, delivered in the style of a radio broadcast, is the same:
There is a little bit of static, followed by a man with an articulate Georgian accent, "Howdy folks! It's me again, Thomas Charles Montgomery, leading announcer for the Annual Wikipedia-Wars Competition! We've seen it all from fireballs rainin' down from the heavens to imaginary Aztecs brought to life! What crazy things will we see next? Well, let me tell ya', by popular demand now you, that's right, you in the audience listening and watching along have a chance to tell the Wiki-Warriors what their next Quests will be! Just boil me in a blanket! We will be randomly calling participating phone numbers around the world for faithful fans to tell us what Quests they want to see. And for our very first Quest, we'll be honoring the wonderful state of Minnesota which generously and definitely consensually allowed us to use their home as the starting ground for this year's competition! Our first lucky caller will be.....Richard Brooks of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin!"
There is a soundbite of a phone ringing.
".....hello?"
"Is this Richard?"
".....yeah."
"Salutations Richard! You have been selected as the first ever Wiki-War listener to those crazy and colorful Wiki-Warriors a Quest!"
"Cool."
"What's your Quest going to be Richard? Are you going to have those brave men and women build a boat to be the first one to cross Lake Michigan!? Or will you have them race to perform a fully choreographed musical in a public place? Or did you-"
"I want 5 Large Pizzas, 80 Chicken Wings, and 8 two-liter sodas. I live on Buchad Beach Drive right on Lake Winnebago, next to Smith's Lakeside Bar & Grill.""
"...Er, you want a fast food dilvery? These are people who can ride elephants, take down an army, open up portal to different worlds, and you want them to your home?"
"Yes."
"W-well surely if that is what you wish for you can call up your local pizza resteraunt and they will deliver to you-"
"But if you guys do it, it's free right?"
Thomas sighs loudly. "Yes. Thank you...very much Richard."
"Bye."
The next sound is a phone being put back on its receiver.
"There you have it folks. This Quest, which will be called the, ah, er, "The Connoisseur", will be worth a grand total of...one point. Will our fearless friends be able to stand the test of this Quest? Yes. Will they even bother to do it? Stay tuned!"
There is some more static before the signal ends.

We Need A Bigger Boat! - While in water, NAV can turn into a Giant Great White Shark. While in this form, he gains +4 Swimming, +3 Biting, and eating large living organisms, such as dolphins or humans, will cure wounds.
The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Abilities:
A Rip in Time & Space [Passive] - There are hidden sites all over the universe that house latent Wormholes to other planets, universes, even dimensions. Ukrainian Ranger will be notified when they get close to one of these Wormholes, which they are able to open and travel through. These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.
Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
The Connoisseur
Some dude wants food delivered to his house. Seriously, that's it.
Conditions:
*Be the first one with 5 Large Pizzas, 80 Chicken Wings and 8 two-liter Soda Bottles to Richard Brooks in Buchad Beach Drive near Lake Winnebago in Fond Du Lac.
Reward: 1 Point
While everyone's characters range from odd to bizarre, Ukrainian Ranger latest spawn makes a strong case for the leader in the weirdness category. Also, I don't know that much about Stargate so if anyone wants me to know about a signature trait or ability of Jack O' Neill's, please do inform me. As far as I can gather from the Wiki pages, he's a cool military leader guy who fights aliens from other dimensions, though I assume there is more to him than that.

((The heck is Yuri doing?))
With that weirdness over with, Execute tasks one Aztec to spread rice over the floor, another to spread some around the outside edges of the store, and a few others to carry a bag of rice to the portal, then spread as much as possible around it, and focuses on Fallacy.
"Look, I'm going to be honest, so far, I have been running into no end of trouble, and I would appreciate it if we could band together, if only for a time until we can sort... *Waves hands around* All of this out, then we can kill each other, there are a lot of things I need to do, and I do need another helping hand that...
Knows the terrain as well as I do."
If she accepts, give her the Springfield rifle, along with a group of Aztecs, both as a safeguard and a failsafe, with orders to take her down, lethally, if she does anything stupid.
If she doesn't accept, shoot her with the Conquistador pistol and command the Aztecs to kill her if she doesn't die from that, this whole 'kindness' bullshit has been going on long enough and I know what undeserved mercy does by now.
Either way it goes, get out of the store and fly onto the elephant to engage in pistol-to-hand combat.
-
((The heck is Yuri doing?))
Probably trying to fix his own foot and hiding from NAV because fireballs are spooky.
-
Try to find any working transport vehicle
-
Charge towards twinwolf and beirus and attempt to shoot, trample, and gore all involved parties.
Damn, he would have been handy to have around.
-
((Wait what's going on and where are those allies I had))
-
((Wait what's going on and where are those allies I had))
I've tried to keep you out of the fighting for the most part a couple turns ago Beirus decided to specifically attack you. You have been slashed across the face and stabbed twice in the stomach while two of your allies are convulsing on the ground, one has been killed with a throat slash and the final one is alive with a single injured, bleeding arm.
-
Be evasive, attempt to return fire while retreating with the injured ones. Try to go in the direction of the cannon if that's still a thing.
-
bow with a flourish, then stay afterward and attempt to make a good a impression on as many people as possible while learning more about any of the better dressed people. Also use the opportunity to advertise that I have begun writing a series of short stories titled "cake on the moon"

((Hey, Twinwolf was the first one you had me find when I was looking for another wiki warrior. And then you asked me to specify who I was attacking. Not my fault.))
Prioritize killing Twinwolf using the Thorns and the Knife. Then finish off the allies he had.
-
Ah well. To the waitlist! I quite like the new way you've picked for delivering quests by the way.

"Very well. I accept! KAHAHAHA! By the way, how did you get all of these Aztecs here anyway?"
Fallacy accepts the weapon, then sits down in a meditative pose, focusing on regaining blood.

"Well, obviously," Execute keeps his hands down close to his chest where the other Aztecs can't see them as small finger quotes, "I'm a spirit, Y'know, the wings and such, my true" again with the finger quotes, "name is Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, or The Spirit Of Force, I lead these people now, and I used my natural ability of opening portals to get back here."
-
Once a good distance away from the battlefield, stop to reload my new gun and to patch up myself and my horse with the medical kit. Then, attempt to find a gun store, preferably a good distance away from the aztec horde.
-
Listen to his mixtape. If it's good, tell him that he's just not the musician I'm looking for. If it's bad, insult him and ride away.
-
Be human again and naked. Scavenge around a bit for the food that guy ordered. And anything else useful like clothes or a vehicle.
Take the katana and two javelins with me. The javelins can both be carried in one hand.

Round 55: Of Rice & Men
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (5.8 Inches of Snow)
Time: Afternoon
Dolosus rides as far away as he can from the battlefield until the sounds of fighting and war are off in the distance, which happens to be at about the same time that his injured, bleeding horse begins to slow down out of fatigue anyways. With no chaos around him, Dolosus can calmly reload his new gun, Person's pistol, though when he equips it he finds that Person didn't have any additional ammunition and the only rounds that the Samurai is carrying are those for his older-model revolver, which effectively leaves him stuck with a one-shot gun for now. He puts the pistol away and takes out the looted Professional Medical Kit, distributing its remaining resources between himself and his horse. [7+2(Extensive Resources)] Using up the last bits of antiseptic, gauze and tape, Dolosus clears out his foot wound and patches up his horse's flank. Dolosus sets his sights on a gun store far away from the Aztecs are rides around the whole eastern part of the city without seeing any such place. With a small town like Denmark, it might have never had a gun store, and chances are it could have been destroyed in the destruction that befell the town before he arrived. On the other hand, Wisconsin is a hunting state so even if there is no gun store here, there is bound to be a few in the towns surrounding the ruined Denmark.
After receiving a very warm reception to her Cowboy-Aztec Poetry, High tyrol sticks around at the Open Mic night to interact with the audience, chatting it up with them, especially those that were wearing more classy, formal attire. [2+2(Wit)] Despite the quality of her story, tyrol doesn't get the chance to talk with many people who leave shortly after she is finished, too busy to stop and see the rest of the performances. She does get acquainted with a Green Bay-based lawyer named David Irvin, while he isn't involved in the field of writing or publishing, he say he enjoys it as an after-work hobby and perhaps can get Tyrol to know some people who could help her out. Before he leaves, he gives her a business card with his name, number, and address to his office.
Twinwolf, wounded and simply overpowered at this hand-to-hand fighting scenario, flees from the scene towards the direction where his great cannon still stands. He yells at the wounded Patriot, the only one still able to stand, to follow him and run away from their bloodthirsty primitive attacker. Twinwolf looks over his shoulder and Beirus is sprinting towards them at full speed, vaulting over debris and cars, threatening to catch up to their position. [3+2 vs. 5+2] Twinwolf fires off the rest of his pistol clip behind him in an attempt to possibly hit Beirus or at the very least force her to slow down and take cover, but the Sevateem hunter simply ducks under the shots without letting up much speed. Chasing them down the streets of Denmark, Beirus pulls another handful of thorns out of her pack and chucks them at Twinwolf, [4+2 vs. 3] and fails to pierce him with the deadly poison, but a single thorn, as sharp as dagger, slashes across the back of Twin's right Achilles tendon before passing by. Twin cries out in pain and shock as he tumbles onto the asphalt. The lone Patriot realizes his leader has been taken down and looks at him on the floor, and then at Beirus charging for both of them. He hesitates for a moment before cursing and running at Beirus, trying to intercept her. [6 vs. 10+2] When he gets close, the Patriot lunges at her with his knife, which the huntress easily sidesteps, [3+2 vs. 9] and then swipes her own knife at him, which the Patriot jumps away, the blade whizzing through the space in front of him.
Beirus is ready to finish Twin off but the damn Patriot is not getting out of her way. [1+2 vs. 3] She slashes at him again and this time he blocks her strike and shoves her away. Beirus shakes her head, that was simply a sloppy strike on her part. Meanwhile, at this time Twinwolf carefully returns back to standing on his feet. He wipes the steady flow of blood still falling from his face away from his left eye.
Elephant Parade humors the teenager and lets him play it on his phone. [9] The sound is grimy and clearly produced at the amateur level, but the kid has a solid flow, delivery and even a few clever lyrics. Still, he is not the type of artist that was going to sing about the wonders of the equestrian. Elephant returns the mixtape and confirms that it is "fire" but that it is not the type of music he is searching, he encourages the kid to continue practicing and striving towards his dreams. The teenager replies stating that he is grateful for the advice before he skateboards away.
With the Soucouyant out of the picture and a lull in the fighting, Execute pulls Fallacy aside to speak to her one-on-one. "Look, I'm going to be honest, so far, I have been running into no end of trouble, and I would appreciate it if we could band together, if only for a time until we can sort... ", he makes a general gesture to his surroundings, "All of this out, then we can kill each other, there are a lot of things I need to do, and I do need another helping hand that...Knows the terrain as well as I do." Fallacy thinks for a second, looking as if she is considering accepting the deal or maybe just biting Execute in the face, (to be fair, that is her default expression) before she declares,
"Very well. I accept! KAHAHAHA! By the way, how did you get all of these Aztecs here anyway?" Fallacy takes the Springfield off of Execute's hands before settling into a meditative pose, focused on restoring her own vitality.
"Well, obviously," Execute keeps his hands down close to his chest where the other Aztecs can't see them as he performs small finger quotes, "I'm a spirit, Y'know, the wings and such, my true," again with the finger quotes, "name is Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, or The Spirit Of Force, I lead these people now, and I used my natural ability of opening portals to get back here." Execute then leaves Fallacy to rest and attaches her with a 20-soldier strong accompaniment of Aztec soldiers, who are ordered to both protect her and kill her if she acts stupid. With the opportunity to both rest and the time do so, Fallacy restores some of her energy.
"Damn, he would have been handy to have around." MidnightJaguar muses this over Person's body for a moment and respectfully bows. Then he hears the gunshots coming from far down the street and itching for an opportunity to fight, Midnight spurs his elephant into action and sets it into a charge, bustling down the road. While Beirus squares off with Twinwolf's last Patriot, the two fighters circling each other looking for the best opportunity to strike, both are interrupted as the ground shakes and a terribly loud bellow comes from down the street. Looking up, they both spot the war elephant and its rider charging right at them, [Morale: 2-2(Elephant Intimidation)] resulting in the Patriot dropping his knife and instantly assuming the fetal position, screaming like a starfish in the lead role of a midnight opera. [6+2 vs. 2+2] Not being familiar with Elephants, Beirus tries to leap out of the way but doesn't account for just how long tusks are, and as she evades one of the ivory lengths slams into her lower torso and she goes flying through the air into a wire mesh fence and sustaining several broken ribs in the process. The Elephant continues running down the street and doesn't even notice when it tramples over the Patriot who pretty much gave up any hope of living. [9+2 vs. 8-1] Twinwolf runs as quickly as he can with an injured leg and it isn't long before the war elephant is behind him, thrusting its tusks at him and piercing his left leg like a giant spear. The impact of the attack flips Twinwolf into the air before he lands flat on his face.
Ukrainian Ranger does not move deeper into Denmark just yet, instead they look for any working transportation vehicles in the immediate area. [5] Every car or truck, really, anything with a motor is just a useless heap of metal at this point, beyond any sort of repair. Among some rubble, Ranger does find a somewhat damaged but still functioning Push Scooter if they were willing to ride such a thing.
You know how you can tell when a storm is coming? Ukrainian experiences something similar as their senses tell them there is not only a single wormhole open in Denmark, there are multiple! If they could make it in and look around, they could come across some astonishing finds, who knows what wormholes to other worlds were lying dormant here?
The floating fireball descends into the pile of skin which wraps around it, enclosing it and finishing NAV's transition from Soucouyant back to his original human form, naked and cold once again. NAV looks for the food that would fulfill the latest quest, [N/A] but he quickly realizes that pizzas and chicken wings were probably not going to naturally appear in the wilderness of a forest, and this place didn't look like an attraction either so there wasn't even any picnic grounds to scour. Instead, he turns his attention to looking for something like clothes or a vehicle. [6+2(Scavenging)] Looking around in the thawing snow, NAV spots an Old Poncho and Boxers that had been discarded. It was an awkward mix of clothing, and both articles were dirty but it was better than contracting hypothermia. Ready to move on, NAV goes to his hidden item stockpile and takes the Katana and two Javelins in one hand; it would be awkward to throw two javelins with one hand but for carrying purposes it worked fine.
Execute, seeing the reaction the bloodsucking fireball had to rice, orders some of his men to take rice bags from the store and spread it all around and in the floor, and to additionally spread rice all around the portal. This way, if the Soucouyant were to return, it wouldn't be able to come after anyone in the area with all the rice it would have to collect. This uses up all of the grocery's rice supplies and results in rice being everywhere, but it was a necessary precaution. After overseeing this operation and making sure some of his forces stayed with Fallacy, Execute left through the front doors and took to the skies again, flying up and soaring, searching for his newest foe, the man on the elephant. Down the street, he spots the rampaging elephant chasing after some people and knocking them around like bowling pins. Execute targets the elephant like a missile, arching downwards and slowing down just enough so that he can land on its back. Midnight, busy with commanding his elephant to trample over his competition, is taken by surprise when a winged man lands on the back of his mount. "I am Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, God of the Aztecs! You have killed my people! Prepare to die!" [3 vs. 2] Execute shoots Midnight in the arm which barely even grazes him and then fires a shot which puts a hole in his saddle.
Yuri follows Execute's position, rifle in tow, but Execute flies far enough where he couldn't get a decent shot, and at this point would be wasting bullets or potentially risking shooting his old friend. Yuri curses and abandoning Execute's original plan, kicks down the door at the top of the building and quickly descends the stairs, trying to get down to the street as quickly as possible...
A single Aztec steps through the portal. "Oh God! Rice! Rice everywhere!"

Abilities:
A Rip in Time & Space [Passive] - There are hidden sites all over the universe that house latent Wormholes to other planets, universes, even dimensions. Ukrainian Ranger will be notified when they get close to one of these Wormholes, which they are able to open and travel through. These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

gm question: did I receive a prize from the competition?
No, since Open Mics lack a formal entry process and encourage anyone to go up to the mic. The best you get is some recognition. For a more rewarding process I would recommend looking for a Poetry Slam.
Avoid death by any means possible, try to escape.
((I'm honestly out of ideas :P))
Get gored by an elephant will do that. I encourage everyone who is in a situation as dire as Twinwolf's or even more so, to not give up until you are truly dead, because there is always that faint chance that even a dying character could get some points and manage to get an article which saves them from certain death.
-
look up upcoming poetry slam competitions if there is no upcoming competition then begin work on a short story about Spanish conquistadors conquering/colonizing the moon and fighting aliens.
-
Onward to another town, now! Keep scouting for talent.
-
Where can I find pizza and wings in a small evacuated town? I don't know. Go there and find some though.
And of course keep an eye out for LOOT

((Now would be a good time to take a bite of that chocolate bar. Something something last meal.))
Twinwolf did say she wanted to survive by any means possible, so I'll probably have her character do that; at this point a sporadic storm is actually a better defense for her than running.

Round 56: Black Thunder: Double Denmark Destruction
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (5.6 Inches of Snow)
Time: Later Afternoon
NAV, sporting a unique combination of clothing styles and weapons, puts his life as a flying bloodsucking fireball on hold and stays in his human form, now trudging away from the lake and back into town, his bare feet sinking into the wet slosh produced by the melting snow. His goal now was not to kill, but to somehow find the components necessary for the newest quest in the desecrated town of Denmark. This time he sticks to the Eastern part of town, away from the center/downtown/shopping region where Wiki-Warriors and their fighting had been concentrated for a long while now. If he can not locate some preserved pizzas or soda bottles, any sort of good loot would do. [Scavenging: 10+2] It's mostly residential, with the occasional store, and not a single Dominoes or Pizza Hut in sight. But after persistent searching, NAV spots something even better, a small Mobster's Pizza, part of the national pizza chain famous for having a past CEO run for the Office of P.O.T.U.S. NAV approaches and looks through the transparent glass doors and the inside of the establishment, compared to other ruined homes and commercial buildings, appeared to be in no bad shape. The door was locked, which might have deterred some of the earlier looters, but that wouldn't stop NAV, who smashes the handle against the glass, shattering it and allowing him to reach in and unlock the door.
Stepping inside the place is eerie and messy, but the messiness was comparable to how it would look on a normal business day, with half-finished drinks and food still sitting atop the various dining tables. Then there was the pizza buffet, and while the food looked edible, it was still so stale and crusty from being left out and exposed to the elements that the Quest-Giver would definitely not accept it, as he implied pizza and wings of fresh, delivery-style quality. The scavenger moves forward, passing the arcade which was obviously dead, and hopped the counter. Once again, NAV exploits the improvised uses of the Katana and uses it to break into the cash registers and take all available money, totaling over $700 in total funds. He ventures into the kitchen where his true prize awaits, as in the freezer there are preserved food goods, pizza and hot wings alike, preserved for freshman and despite the freezer lacking power for a while now, the food remained well stored and besides requiring a reheating, they would of that same Mobster's Pizza quality. Additionally, back in storage there are cardboard storage containers for everything from large pizzas to 20-piece chicken wing meals. Finally, there are plenty of 2-liter soda bottles stored in a Pepsi-branded fridge, though they are now luke-warm instead of cold. NAV really couldn't have asked for a better find, not only did he find a pizza-buffet/arcade, it was one that wasn't filled with creepy animatronics.
Ukrainian Ranger stares at the Push Scooter for a good minute, weighing the pros and cons, and reluctantly they decide to open it kick and get on it, propelling themselves by foot into the city on the wheeled vehicle, which actually increased their speed at the expense of looking like a ridiculous prick, (not that being a ridiculous prick had stopped people from being successful in this competition before). They scooter into the city, passing rubble and debris, even the occasional corpse or loose body part. Ranger can sense multiple portals, like the purple portal in the middle of town but that one was obviously open and active, and from the snail-person's knowledge anyone could freely go in and out of it, which meant that someone had already opened it. What the snail was interested in was these unopened portals that could lead to any universe or dimension, and their intuition led them to a hill just outside the center of town; the hill was too steep to just scooter up, so Ukrainian was forced to snap their scooter together and carry it as they trudged upwards. Along the way, they noticed two bodies which looked like they were wearing military-style camouflage, as well of the corpse of a large man, extremely muscular and dressed like an Olympian. Finally, they arrived at the top of the hill, where there was the remains of some sort of metal and wooden device that had been destroyed along with the smell of gunpowder, indicating that it had been some sort of gun. More importantly, Ukrainian could sense cosmic portal energy at work and focusing on one particular spot hovering over the precipice of the hill they spotted a faintly growing blue jagged spike, a line in the universe that looked like a rip in a piece of clothing. This dimensional tear was seeping with blue energy naked to normal sight but Ukrainian was able to reach out with their hands and pull it open, spreading it until it was the size of a window.
Inside, Ukrainian caught not a static glance but glimpses of sights from all over this world. It was a land of castles and cities, towers and villages, not unlike those of the medieval age. There were knights and archers, but clearly supernatural elements as well, as they traveled alongside magicians and humanoids, fighting great beasts of every shape and size. In one image, Ukrainian saw a group of mages in a flaming village pelting a giant dragon with their spells, in the next a heavily armored warrior squares off against a towering troll in a damp, underground location, the following image is that of a group of people going about their shopping in a busy marketplace, buying supplies and weapons, talking with the locale. Ukrainian has opened up a portal to a place of fantasy and myth, of beauty and horror, of awe and grace. In fact,
Ukrainian Ranger has opened up a portal to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinder_Roleplaying_Game) Universe!
Execute runs up the back of the War Elephant and closes in towards the saddle that MidnightJaguar rides upon, all while placing his pistol into its holster with one hand and drawing his shortsword out of its sheath with the other. When he is close enough, he leaps at Midnight, his sword held behind him in preparation for a swing, [1 vs. 6] and the actual slash ends up cutting through the air, the tip of the blade still half-a-foot away from Midnight at the closest point of the attack. [9 vs. 8] Before Execute can recover, Midnight retaliates and stands up on the saddle, maintaining his balance and thrusting the butt of his rifle at the Aztec warleader. Execute twists his body to lessen the impact of the blow, and when the rifle smashes against his right shoulder it does little more than bruise it, but what has greater impact than the actual injury was the effect of it causing Execute to lose his grip on his shortsword which slides down the side of the elephant and lands down on the street while the large beast continues rampaging through the nearby area.
Execute, running towards the action, gets close enough to where he can get down on one knee, aim, and fire shots off at Midnight. [4 vs. 3] After a burst of shots, Midnight feels a burning sensation cut through him towards the middle section of his back, but is minor enough that while he is occupied with other life-threatening things he hardly notices it.
Dolosus rides away from Denmark and down the road towards one of the nearby cities that he hopes has a functioning gun store. Going towards the Southeast, he gets far enough away where the buildings are less frequent and only the occasional farm, resteraunt or general store can be encountered. While it doesn't look like he'll be in any luck, it turns out that a local Bob's Gun Stock is right in his path; finding a store specialized in firearms on the side of a country road is truly an American event. Dolosus gets off his horse in the parking lot and ties it to a fence before heading inside. The interior is what you would expect of a gunstore, with guns lining the walls and filling glass counters, everything from handguns and hunting rifles to fully-automatic weapons. Behind one of these glass counters is a 30-something man wearing a camouflage jacket, a baseball cap and a wide grin. "Howdy! What sort of business can I help you with today?" Dolosus lays Person's pistol on the counter and says he wants to sell it, as it must be high in value being an authentic officer's pistol from WWI. [Bartering: 6] The store owner takes the gun in his hands and looks at it closely, turning it over and squinting at the tiniest details. "Yep, that's a real one alright, but it's not the first one I've seen. I a bunch of WWI guns, even a few back from the Civil War and Indian War days. Since it belonged to an officer, I will raise the price a bit, what do you say to $230?"
MidnightJaguar goads his Elephant into continuing its rampage of death and destruction on Beirus and Twinwolf specifically, although this is hampered somewhat; With Execute disarmed of his shortsword but still close enough to Midnight to attack him, Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal is alternating between trying to stab the elephant king with his trench knife and kicking him in the head. Needless to say, Midnight's efforts in controlling his Elephant are muddled when he is weaving around stabs and ducking under kicks. [9+-2(Distracted Rider) vs. 2-2] The Elephant charges towards Beirus who is still lying against the fence from the last attack. As the Elephant draws near, letting out a fierce cry from its trunk, Beirus attempts to stand up but the pain is greater than her will and she simply slumps against the fence. The Elephant presses one of its front hooves against Beirus and crushes her against the iron-wrought fence, producing a similar result to when a slab of meat goes through a grinder.
After Beirus has been trampled, Midnight orients the elephant in the direction of Twinwolf, all the while he has to bat away Execute's knife arm. Twinwolf slowly gets to his feet by gripping onto the side a car, and looking over his shoulder, spots the Elephant running at him again, setting the injured nationalist leader into a screaming sprint, which is actually closer to a screaming hobble. [5+-2(Distracted Rider) vs. 7] In a last ditch desperation tactic, Twinwolf dives for the ground and curls up in a cowering ball as the Elephant runs over his position, and miraculously while he is about an inch away from being stomped into human-goo a couple times, the beast misses him entirely! The elephant lets out a frustrated cry as it plows through a small smart-car, tossing it aside with its tusks.
Midnight decides that he has had enough harassment from his uninvited co-rider and grabs his trusty curling stone that he keeps tied to the front of his saddle wherever he goes. [4-1(Heavy) vs. 9] Execute attempts another kick to Midnight when the rider suddenly turns to properly face him and interrupts the Aztec deity with a mighty overhead swing! Execute jumps to the side but Midnight knows this dodge will actually send Execute tumbling off the Elephant and onto the ground! Except instead of falling, Execute just hovers in place right next to Midnight who recalls that he is fighting someone with wings. [4 vs. 7] Execute zooms straight at Midnight knife-first and the rider sits back down in his saddle and lowers his head, allowing his flying foe to harmlessly pass above him.
MidnightJaguar has brutally tenderized Beirus!
He gains 1 Point!

Fallacy, as she is meditating, takes her rifle and in a trance-like state loads a fresh clip into it. All the while, she moans some strange guttural sounds, "Huh. HUUH." The Aztecs around her look at each other uneasily, but recall that Execute's orders were to kill her if she did something stupid, not if she was just being weird, as so they just continue walking around her and aimlessly patrolling the inside of the grocery store, occasionally removing their shoes to shake free any odd pieces of rice that had got stuck inside them. After a few minutes of rest, Fallacy's eyes shoot open as she is fully recovered from the Soucouyant's draining on her and now she is ready for action once more.
High tyrol, while she still has some time to spare in Sheds & Aristocrats, checks out a free newsletter at the front of the store that discusses the local events going on in the Green Bay area. [9] As it turns out, there is a Poetry Slam being held tomorrow morning during an art festival Green Bay at the Green Tomato Art Warehouse. Reading the details of the event, tyrol can deduce that the crowd there will number in the hundreds, possibly over a thousand, which will completely blow the crowd at this Open Mic out of the water. The actual Poetry Slam is free but there is a $20 fee to get into the festival itself. The newsletter does say that the top four winners at this Poetry Slam will receive cash prizes and gift cards.
Elephant Parade finds Greenleaf to be too small to be likely as a source for musical talent and continues riding Westward. He comes to the suburban township of Wrightstown, and with a listed population of over 3,000 it is a relative metropolis to all of these other cities, with the obvious exclusion of Green Bay. Quickly after Elephant rides into Wrightstown, he sees a bank, a Subway, a supermarket and a law firm all in close proximity to each other, so there must be multiple people here with the talent he is looking for. [Musical Talent Scouting: 10] When asking around for any local talent, Elephant is directed to the home of Jessie Farrel, the resident country-pop singer-song writer who hasn't achieved national airplay but has found success on Wisconsin radio stations and the people of Wrightstown keep insisting that she will get her big break one day. Elephant follows the directions to her house and finds a simple two-story overlooking a field. As he approaches, he spots a girl who must be Jessie sitting on her porch facing the open field with her back turned to him, her long auburn hair flowing. The closer he gets, the more clearly he can hear her singing to herself, a voice so sweet and tender Elephant finds himself suddenly perspiring with a lump in his neck...
Twinwolf, still shaking, picks his head up and looks around. He spots the gory remains of Beirus in the fence and has to stop himself from losing his lunch on the spot. Down the street, he sees the elephant thrasing away while two men on top of it fight with one another, one of whom appears to be flying! Twin was aware that was only time before the elephant ran at him again, or even if that hostile angel won this fight, who knows if he would be friendly towards Twin? Running was not an option, both of Twin's legs were too badly wounded. Looking for a way out, he runs his hands over himself looking for some dues ex machina and in his left jacket pocket he finds what might be it, the inconspicuous but all powerful Black Thunder Wrapping Bar. Twinwolf tears away the plastic covering the bar, and with it exposed he viciously tears into it as if he had not eaten for three days. With every massive bite Twinwolf takes, the clouds ahead suddenly condense and become darker until the surrounding area is almost pitch-black under a blanket of darkness. Both As soon as Twinwolf swallows the last bite, a flurry of lightning bolts strike like guided missiles from the heavens. There is an obscene amount of lightning as bolts fly everywhere, an impossible amount for a normal storm.
[9 vs. 10] [1 vs. 1] [6 vs. 3] The Elephant roars in a panic and Execute abandons his objective to fly to cover as fast as he can. As he soars through the dark sky, evading lightning as two jagged bolts get so close to him he feels their heat right on his body. Before he can get somewhere safe, a lightning bolt cuts through him at chest level and shocks him, sending him into a tumble onto the ground below. He is not lethally wounded, but there is a horizontal line across his chest that has been seared.
[4 vs. 8] [1 vs. 5] [8 vs. 5] [9 vs. 4] Midnight pleads with shouts over the deafening storm as he tries to get his Elephant to calm down as its fearful panic is nearly throwing him off of his saddle, leaving him holding on for his dear life. As the lightning flies around him in every direction, two bolts strike him directly in quick succession and he immediately slumps over in his saddle unconscious as his body sizzles. Unconscious, it is up to his Elephant to keep him in position, [Elephant Morale: 3-1(Panicking)] but in its terrified state Midnight is tossed from its back and flung into the brick wall of a nearby building at a high speed, his impact making a crunch that would be audible if it weren't for the lightning. Even if Midnight had somehow survived two lightning strikes, there was no way he would live after slamming into a brick wall as if he had crashed a car going 40 mph into said wall, without a seatbelt.
[1 vs. 8] The Aztecs within the grocery huddle down and lay low as the storm takes place, although no lightning lands near their position leaving them and Fallacy a little unnerved but unharmed. During this time, some of the Aztecs discuss with each other, debating whether or not this storm had served as a harbinger indicating that a Thunder God from their home was set to enter the portal soon.
[8 vs. 6] NAV, while admiring the goldmine of delivery food he had stumbled upon, finds himself caught in the middle of a spontaneous lightning storm, louder and more ferocious than any other he had previously been in. Unknowingly, while taking cover he places his hand on a metal pole that extends up into the roof. When lightning strikes it, he is briefly electrocuted, though afterwards he is mostly fine except for his left hand which was gripping the pole that has been burned to a painful crisp.
Ukrainian is just outside the range of the lightning storm, but is close enough for all of their body hairs to stand up on end, if snails had body hair.
The gun shop Dolosus is in shakes during the storm, and the store owner steadies himself by leaning on the counter. "Shit! How is there a storm brewin'? The sky was just clear a second ago!"
The power in Sheds & Aristocrats goes dead for a couple minutes.
During the whole storm, Twinwolf himself had hid under a car, regretting his actions almost immediately as the first bolts struck the earth. However, when the final arc of lightning had laid its indiscriminate razing of the land, the clouds dissipate just as quickly as they had appeared. At this point, Twinwolf slides out from under the car and stands up, slowly once again, surveying the damage.
[Collateral Damage Magnitude: 5] Several more buildings had been destroyed or were now aflame, none of them quite close enough to worry Twin. The damage to these buildings was much more intense than the previous episode of destruction on the little town of Denmark, but this time it was confined to a smaller area, the Eastern section rather than the location as a whole. Unsure of how to feel about this whole situation, Twin just stares at what he has created, or more accurately un-created, as the empty chocolate wrapper floats away from his hand in the breeze. He's beginning to feel a little weak from the constant blood loss...
Twinwolf has fried Midnight Jaguar!

These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points

That was one hell of a turn. Some things to clarify:
I have to confess, even those this game is clearly based on Wikipedia, I cheated for Ukrainian's dimensional hopping ability and found a random universe via an algorithm I put into TV Tropes. Why? It could find other fictional universes on Wikipedia, the only issue with that being that you often have to go through 20-50 random articles before you reach a fictional universe, and that fictional universe is likely going to be highly identical to the one the Wiki-Warriors are already in. When I use the algorithm in TV Tropes, which is still highly random, I get a suitable result about 75-90% of the time immediately. I plan to also do this for similar abilities and events in the future. If anyone has comments or concerns about this method please raise them.
Also, I'm not going to be familiar with every fictional piece of media that I use, so I will get things wrong. If I happen to get them very wrong, (ex., if I spawn a Pathfinder creature through the portal that doesn't even exist or is similar to anything in the Pathfinder game series), please tell me and I will do my best to rectify the situation.
Because Ukrainian's character is hermaphroditic I will refer said character using the "they" set of pronouns.
Twinwolf's Black Thunder was a completely randomized event with everyone in the nearby area getting rolls not only how hard they would get hit, but how many times when they get hit at all. The ones most at risk were Twin, Execute and Midnight, and Midnight obviously got unlucky while Twinwolf just so happened to never be targeted; Yuri was also a possible target but avoid being struck. NAV and Fallacy were close enough to be possible targets and were each targeted one time by the storm based on dice rolls.

-
Is my SS Ohioan in its cargo configuration or its troop transport configuration?
Most of its usage was before and after the war as a cargo ship, so I will say it is in cargo configuration. As I stated earlier, spawned vehicles (and items in general) appear in a "pure" state, meaning they do not have any extraneous equipment or cargo beyond what is needed to run them properly for their main purpose. So while it is in cargo mode, there is no actual cargo on it at the moment.

"Aye, that'll do."
Sell the gun, and head to a grocery store to buy the cheapest pizza, soda and wings possible. (Food Guy probably won't mind frozen food, right?) Then, haul ass to the Food Guy's house if there's still time for that this turn.
-
(Food Guy probably won't mind frozen food, right?)
For the sake of making this Quest efficient, the food can be frozen (I assume The Connoisseur has a microwave he could throw it in) or else we'd have multiple turns of people trying to heat up food which isn't that interesting.
-
"Maybe, just maybe we should see if our great and glorious combat leader needs our help?."
Fallacy leads her continent of Aztecs into the fray in search of Execute. If any enemies are attacking Execute once she finds him... bang, bang, bang. To the enemies.

"Arrrrgh I have to eat someone."

I'll have you look for a car next turn, and you don't have a means of calling a taxi, not that one would drive through a ghostown. Also, unless you find a vehicle with storage, you're going to have to figure out your storage situation since you can't carry 5 large pizza boxes, a few boxes of chicken wings, 8 sodas, a katana and two javelins, all at the same time.

Alright, you sad sack of fake-godlihood, time to get up, it's just a lightning bolt, you'll get over it, call over some Aztecs to help you out, then get them over to Midnight's body to take his stuff, that RPG could be useful, and get over to the portal, wave over Fallacy and Yuri to follow you, time to regroup, if you see Twinwolf, offer him the chance to join your team, otherwise, get the Aztecs and Yuri to attack him, avoid the elephant if possible, if not, forget the portal and go back into the grocery store.

Oh bloody hell, I forgot to say what I came here for, quick warning, when I go silent (again), that's not because I'm bored or what-have-you, it's that the Internet at my house (and by extension, most houses around the area) has gone down, something about Telstra having a blackout and NBN being installed.))
I'll keep note of that. If, unfortunately, you do lose a turn I will auto you with the main objective as preserving your own life and the life of your soldiers and allies.

Go to the center of town.

Round 57: Fighting Halted for Pizza Time
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (5.2 Inches of Snow)
Time: Later Afternoon
Finished with her recuperation, Fallacy stands up with her loaded rifle in hand. "Maybe, just maybe we should see if our great and glorious combat leader needs our help?." Fallacy's attachment readily agrees that is time to help out Execute. They all leave the grocery store and head down the road to find Execute on the ground, writhing a bit with a large horizontal scar on his chest, still sizzling.
Two Aztecs rush over to help him out onto his feet but halfway into lifting up their leader Execute gently but firmly pushes them away, insisting that he is fine and can carry himself. He looks back to see what the war elephant is doing, but with the lack of thunderstorms and without a rider, it seems docile or at least apathetic to what's going on without any provocitation. Execute commands the two Aztecs to strip Midnight's body of any valuables and when they do so they find yet another WWI Rifle as well as a Chinese Rocket Launcher. This is when everyone notices that Twinwolf, wounded and unsteady is still up and moving; everyone is prepared to fight, especially Fallacy who is eager to blast away Twin's head, when Execute orders them to stand down. Execute shouts down the street at him, offering a chance to team up, and Twinwolf neither accepts nor rejects this offer and just lets out a loud, pained groan. Seeing as he isn't hostile in any way at the moment, Execute orders a small band of Aztecs to follow Twinwolf and perform aid on him so that he can give a comprehensible answer, and if he is hostile or outright refuses, they are to kill him immediately. He gives them what little medicine he has left and sends them off while he, Yuri, Fallacy and the rest of the troops walk back towards the portal at the center of Denmark. They all stand before the portal, still swirling with purple energy, able to see inside to the mansion in the next dimension where more Aztecs troops are organizing themselves.
NAV looks at his severely burned left hand and groans, "Arrrrgh I have to eat someone." After declaring a sentence that relies heavily on context, NAV looks outside and sees the buildings around him burning down, but simply shrugs and goes about looking for some sort of transportation. [Scavenging: 4+2-2(Burning Pain)] Trying to ignore the awful sensation in his left hand, NAV finds no delivery cars and instead a single delivery bicycle that would certainly boost his speed but would be even harder to carry everything on top of. Sighing, NAV packs up all of the supplies necessary for the Quest together, and attempts to carry it all with his hands. [Dexterity: 3-2(Overburdened)- 2(Burning Pain)] As soon as NAV steps out of the door attempting to somehow carry 5 large pizzas, 4 boxes of chicken wings and 8 soda bottles, he stumbles and falls to the ground. [Agility:8] He catches himself, landing on his hands and preventing harm for himself, however all of the food and drink are destroyed with the pizzas falling out of their boxes and splattering on the ground, the wings bursting free and rolling on the sidewalk and the soda bottles either rolling away or exploding. NAV is now covered in pizza sauce, barbecue sauce and soda, but on the bright side his clothes were already filthy.
High Tyrol drives down to the nearest pay day loan store, a rickety little building named Speedy Loans with a neon sign, and requests their lowest loan which is $50. She receives it along with its exorbitant interest rate but she does believe she'll be able to pay it back by then. [Tyrol must pay back $100 in 15 Turns.] After leaving, High Tyrol learns that the Arts Festival is happening tonight and sooner than expected. It's not going to happen immediately, but she has a little time to prepare.
Green Bay Art Festival in 2 Turns.
Wipeout casually walks to the center of Denmark, passing wreckage and bodies on the way there, holding her basketball on her hip with one hand and her ice skates tied around her other. When she makes it toward the center of the town, signified by a giant purple glowing portal, she spots a lot of people gathered around it, many of whom look like ancient Meso-American warriors but notably some are holding guns and other modern weapons and look European and Asian. Since they might be trouble, Wipeout stands at a distance where she can look at them but also is just out of their range in case they spot her and turn out to be hostile.
"Aye, that'll do." Dolosus sells Person's gun to the owner of the shop and nets himself some extra cash. (-M1911 WWI Pistol, +$230) With these new funds Dolosus gets back on his horse and rides to the nearest food and drink retailer to pick up the supplies necessary for the Quest. [9] Just down the road there is a conveniently placed Quick-N-Shop grocery store, a chain that is the staple of many Americans in the Midwestern part of the country. He buys all of the items required by The Connoisseur, which even at their cheapest is still somewhat pricey in the end, (-$114), but at least this place has it all. He walks into the parking lot loaded with grocery bags and ties them to the back of his racehorse. His horse is able to carry all of it, but it can no longer go at galloping speeds lest the grocery bags do withstand the force, as any strong impact or movement could result in everything becoming undone. [Horse Speed: 7] Trotting at a moderate pace, Dolosus goes to the Southwest in the direction of Manitowoc, ending up going on the edge of the highway. At his current rate, it is still going to take him around 3 more turns to reach the objective.
[I've Retconned the Quest location to Manitowoc because Fond du Lac is really far away and would take a while to get to even by car.]
Twinwolf limps away trying to find a safe, quiet spot where he can fix his wounds beset by a squadron of spear and bow wielding Aztec soldiers. Twin closes his eyes and grimaces, awaiting his end at the hands of these vicious warriors. "Hello, we would like to help you," one of them says in an earnest sounding voice. Twin peeks open one eye and he sees no spears at his throat but instead the Aztec offering handfuls of herbs and other plants. The nationalist leader accepts skeptically and paying close attention that this isn't some sort of trap. [Medical: 5+2(Familiar Medicine)] Twinwolf's leg wound is too complicated to be treated on the spot and would need attention from an experienced doctor, but in the meantime they do manage to patch up Twin's face with some adhesive and leaves to stop the bleeding and buy him more time. "If you come with us, we can treat your wounds and you will join our fight under the God Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, the winged one. If you refuse, you are an adversary and we must kill you."
The Ensorceler starts off his adventure by boarding one of his planes, the Tu-91, a literal one-of-a-kind aircraft designed by the Soviet Union to counter naval vessels but was never put onto the front lines. This single Tu-91 is the prototype and the only one every produced. Starting up the engine, The Ensorceler speeds down the road and then smoothly lifts off into the sky, looking out the window and taking stock of everything around him. It's beautiful, if you think that a city decimated by constant warfare is beautiful, at least the mountain and the rivers on the horizon is nice. The Ensorceler flies over the heart of Denmark and looks below for any useful information. What he can see are two anomalous portal structures, one blue and one purple, the latter has a crowd of people standing in front of it. The Ensorceler turns on his radio and attempts to establish communications with anyone nearby, but several attempts get him no results. Either they can't talk to him, lack access to a radio system, or simply are refusing to speak with him for some reason.
On the ground, the Aztecs are quick to notice and point to the plane. "Look! It is one of those metal spitting beasts that attacked our ranks before. Oh High Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, will it attack us too? Perhaps we should retreat back into the Portal!
Ukrainian Ranger stares at their work for a moment, admiring the portal that they have spawned full of all sorts of crazy and wonderful things. They do not go into this new world however, instead they stay in the world of the Wiki-Wars and leave to search for more portals to open up. [Portal Tracking: 8] Ukrainian goes back down the hill where the portal to the Pathfinder Universe resides and walks down the street, guided by their sixth sense to the Central Denmark Bank, and steps inside the abandoned financial facility. The inside is barren and stripped of anything of use, even some of the bullet-proof teller windows are broken and the vault is wide open with not a single penny left. Ukrainian Ranger still enters the vault, not searching for money but what they can see is a tiny pink tear in the center of the vault. They grasp it with their tiny hands and open it, and finds yet another fantasy universe. At first glance, it appears identical to the Pathfinder Portal, with magic and knights and strange creatures. But when Ukrainian looks closer, where Pathfinder had everything from spaceships to jousting tournaments, this universe seems bleaker, darker, with constant war and far more bloodshed. Conversations are dramatic, tense and seem to leave a lasting impact.
Ukrainian Ranger has opened up a portal to the Dragon Age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age) Universe!
Ukrainian feels like the presence of fresh portals has decreased but it still senses one final portal somewhere in Denmark. If they manage to find that one, they'll have to look beyond this town for more wormholes and dimensional tears.
42 Aztecs step through the Aztec Portal. They are surprised to see Execute standing right in front of them, as if he were returning.
A Shaman wearing light clothing, a skull mask and wielding an exotic staff with a skull out suspended at the end steps out of the Pathfinder Portal.

A Rip in Time & Space [Passive] - There are hidden sites all over the universe that house latent Wormholes to other planets, universes, even dimensions. Ukrainian Ranger will be notified when they get close to one of these Wormholes, which they are able to open and travel through. These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

"... Yes, go back inside the portal, I'll handle it, you too, Yuri."
But before Yuri leaves last, grab his shoulder.
"Yuri, if I'm killed up there, I need you to lead these people, they've... Grown on me, for lack of a better word, and here they likely won't be able to survive without help."
Don't mention the chance of the portals closing if you die, no wasting all those lost lives now.
Drop the rifle and the one-shot pistol, then fly up to the tallest building still in sight of the plane,, if the RPG is too heavy, drop it, either way, try not to use it unless hostile action is taken against you, gesture to an area possible for the plane to land at, then fly over there, if he shoots, try and fly up above his effective angle of fire and launch the rocket at his plane.
-
Stay near the new portal, try to befriend anything that may come from it but keep FNP90 ready.
-
While riding over to the Connoisseur's place, look out for pickup trucks, or any other such car that could carry the racehorse in the back as I drive. If I find one, steal it, put the horse in the back, and start driving to the Connoisseur. If I can't find one, keep riding the horse.
-
"Master, would you like me to stay with you?"
If yes, then Fallacy does her best to stay with Execute. If no, Fallacy goes with Yuri.
-
begin work on a short story about Spanish conquistadors conquering/colonizing the moon and fighting aliens. also get my cowboy hat cleaned.
-
"...I don't really have a choice."
Comply.
-
Keep Execute at a distance. Focus on staying away from them, using the tailgun to force them to the ground or the cannons if Execute manages to get in front of me. Otherwise, avoid a direct exchange of fire from the front. If I can't outmaneuver, just run and keep up the tailgun. People aren't very aerodynamic even if they can flap around with heavy weapons.
-
Continue to hide.

Round 58: Let the Pizza Hit the Floor
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny (4.2 Inches of Snow)
Time: Later Afternoon
High tyrol sits in her pickup truck and begins writing a new story about Spanish Conquistadors conquering the moon and fighting off moon aliens. [Poetry: 8+2] In her own opinion, "Conquistadors on the Moon" is a masterpiece, telling the story from the perspective of a young Conquistador captain in Future Spain who is tasked with colonizing the moon, only to find it populated by space aliens, thus setting off a war of action, drama, romance and tragedy. Afterwards, she drives into Green Bay to look for a place to clean her hat. She stops by at a laundromat to do so, tossing it in an empty machine and putting it through a rinse and dry cycle. [-$1] She places her cowboy hat on her head, good as new, and as she walks back to the parking lot to get back into her truck, she spots a police officer being attacked by a group of thugs.
Green Bay Art Festival starts next turn.
Twinwolf thinks for a moment. "...I don't really have a choice." The Aztec warrior nods, "We hope this will be a honest and mutually beneficial relationship." He points the tip of his spear towards the portal, "We need you to go over there where will meet with his Holiness Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal. Be warned, if you run or betray us in some way, we will not hesitate to kill you." They warily stand behind Twin, waiting for him to either follow their command or do something else.
While riding to Manitowoc on his horse, Dolosus looks around for some sort of transportation, like a pickup truck, that would both carry his horse while increasing his speed at the same time. [Car Scouting: 1] Dolosus spots the perfect, heavy weight pickup sitting on the side of the road, with no one in sight. Fixated on his target vehicle, Dolosus is oblivious to the driver of an SUV crossing an intersection at the same time he is, the driver themselves absorbed in a text. [Horseback Riding: 2+2-2(Distracted)] Dolosus is only aware of the fast car in his peripheral vision in the last half-second before the collision, [3] when he is thrown from his horse at high speeds, flying through the air and landing on the ground dozens of feet away. Dolosus stares up into the sky, dazed for a few minutes, and when he resumes full consciousness he finds himself in great pain. He tries uses his hands to help himself up, but his left arm painfully buckles when he attempts to use it, it is definitely broken. When he actually does get up he shambles over to his horse which is laying on the ground, pitifully whinnying and failing to attempt to stand, it had clearly broken multiple legs. All of the items for the Quest, from the pizzas to the sodas, are splattered on the ground and on the horse, a messy set of decorations. The Samurai looks into the front of the SUV, where the front has been damaged, the front window is crack and its single male occupant is unconscious in the driver's seat.
Execute looks up in the sky at the aircraft circling overhead and then back at Yuri. "... Yes, go back inside the portal, I'll handle it, you too, Yuri." Yuri nods solemnly, "Yes sir, come on men!" He motions to the Aztecs who begin their march back into the portal. Yuri begins to walk towards himself when Execute grabs him by the shoulder, "Yuri, if I'm killed up there, I need you to lead these people, they've... Grown on me, for lack of a better word, and here they likely won't be able to survive without help." Yuri looks at Execute silently for a moment and then nods without saying a word, before stepping into the next world; the Aztecs bid their leader a temporary farewell as they renter the mansion. It's a poignant moment for everyone, especially for Execute who knows that if he dies, there is a good chance the portal will seal up permanently. Once Yuri and all the Aztecs in the area step through the portal, Execute drops his Conquistador's Pistol and his WWI Rifle, then flies to the top of the building where Yuri had set up his sniper's nest, since it is the tallest building in the area.
Execute takes the Type 69 RPG off his back and motions to the Tu-91 to land. Maybe The Ensorceler didn't see Execute making this motion or maybe he misinterpreted it as a threatening gesture, or he could have just wanted a fight. Regardless of the reason, the pilot responds to Execute's request by spraying at him with a burst of machine gun fire. The bullets are not close enough to harm Execute but he knows this means a fight and flies straight upward, reaching an altitude where the tailgun would most likely not be able to hit him. He aims a rocket for the Tu-91, looking down its sights; while the Type 69 was a perfect weapon for taking out a tank or cluster of infantry, it not developed as an anti-aircraft weapon. [3-2(Wrong Weapon Type) vs. 1+1] Despite having the wrong kind of weapon to take out a plane, Execute gets pretty close, close enough that The Ensorceler watches the rocket fly just a couple feet above his right wing before it sails off into the distance, its smoke trail visible from behind. The Ensorceler fights back by shooting off the tailgun again, but Execute has taken the preemptive measure of getting out of its range, and the bullets only find thin air.
Fallacy, desperate to stay with Execute, breaks away from her Aztec companions as they go into the portal and runs to the building, but unable to fly herself she is stranded at the bottom. As she helplessly watches Execute square off against a hostile aircraft, she feels a rumbling coming from down the road. Turning her attention to this new source of energy, Fallacy switches her attention and spots the War Elephant coming towards her, and instinctively props up her rifle. However, she sees that War Elephant has a much calmer demeanor now and a new rider, not MidnightJaguar but an unidentified female wearing a minimal amount of clothing and a skull mask. She raises a staff headed by a humanoid skull and waves it at Fallacy in a non-hostile manner, "Hello stranger! I wandered into this land through a portal and have tamed this large beast. Tell me, where am I?"
Wipeout ducks behind a pile of rubble and just watches the events around her unfold. She sees the Aztecs all marching back into a portal and only two people remain behind, a woman and a flying man. The flying man gets on top of a building and fires a rocket at an airplane, which shoots back at him. The woman stays on the ground, and is then approached by another woman riding an elephant. This was a very strange place.
Ukrainian Ranger stands in front of the portal to the Dragon Age universe located in the vault of the bank, eagerly awaiting its first arrival but at the same time the snail-person holds their rifle at the ready in case it spawns something hostile. After a few minutes, the portal begins to glow and Ukrainian takes a ready battle stance, prepared to unload a full burst into whatever steps out. The first spawn takes the form of a man in armor with a large greatsword upon his back, he looks like someone who knows how to fight. He takes a glance at Ukrainian, "Who the hell are you and what do you want?"
The Ensorceler knows that if his enemy's RPG had been aimed slightly lowered, he could have lost a wing or much worse. He makes his plan to get out of this area as quickly as possible to avoid further attacks. When he realizes that Execute has ascended to a point where his tail gun can not reach him, so The Ensorceler pulls upwards as well to match Execute's altitude so that he is in firing range. [9 vs. 7] A single bullet tears through Execute in his favorite place to get wounded, the ankle, specifically the left one. The Tu-91 continues flying until it is outside of Denmark's limits and out of Execute's range, going at a speed he could not pursue; even if Execute could keep up with an old WWI biplane, the Tu-91 was exponentially faster.
No Aztecs spawn due to Execute's order, and will not spawn until this order is changed.

A Rip in Time & Space [Passive] - There are hidden sites all over the universe that house latent Wormholes to other planets, universes, even dimensions. Ukrainian Ranger will be notified when they get close to one of these Wormholes, which they are able to open and travel through. These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
The Connoisseur
Some dude wants food delivered to his house. Seriously, that's it.
Conditions:
*Be the first one with 5 Large Pizzas, 80 Chicken Wings and 8 two-liter Soda Bottles to Richard Brooks in Manitowoc.
Reward: 1 Point
-
"I am a mage and warrior from another world and need some help to deal with my enemies. You will be rewarded when we will finish them"
Try to recruit the guy by promising reward
-
((It would appear that my chain of lucky rolls has finally been broken. *Insert Darth Vader NOO scream here*))
Grit my teeth in an attempt to deal with the pain and drag myself over to the crashed car and attempt to get the driver's cell phone. If I can get a hold of it, call 911 to get a hold of an ambulance. Say something along the lines of "Please help, I've been hit by a car. The driver is unconscious and I think I've broken my arm and a couple of ribs."
If I can't get to the phone for whatever reason, start shouting for help in the hopes that someone notices me.
-
"AGAIN WITH THE FUKKIN ANKLE.
THAT BITCH."
*Siiigh*
I hate doing this, but get back inside the portal and try to patch up that ankle, then look at the paintings in the art room, find anything with cannons or rockets, anything explosive and packing enough range to hit an aircraft, don't let any Aztecs outside, but keep a heavy guard just inside, allow any fortifications needed to be built, if a good painting meeting the specifications are seen, I'll open it, otherwise, look for anything that might be in a scenario that could fir the bill.
-
Flee towards the relative safety of Manitowoc, where there aren't flying people with rocket launchers. Along the way, land to check out the curious wreck between a pizza-laden horse and an SUV. Find Dolosus among the mess.
"Hello, there. I see you are in need of some assistance. INow, I can either save your life, or I can empty this machine gun into you." *menacing gun motions* "I assume you would prefer the former, but I would require something in return. I need soldiers if I'm going to win this thing. I am, at present, broke, but sometime in the future I should be able to provide you with equipment, and at that time I will call upon you to fight for me. Deal?"
((Is this a valid strategy, TCM, or are you going to veto my plan? To slightly mitigate the awesome power of munchkinery, transferral of points could only be possible during executions, with a formal declaration of intent. Or I could just shoot Dolosus.))
((Execute: That bullet was almost an inch across. If your foot doesn't fall off on it's own, you'll need an amputation or a Regeneration spell from one of the other portals. An honest good luck with that. You are also probably going to go into shock if you put any weight on that foot, so get someone to carry you through the portal.))
-
Flee the scene.

Due to the final goal of the game, Point Exchange is not an incorporated system and every point that a character gains is attached to them and to them only until they are killed and a portion of their points are absorbed. This is also due to the fact that while teams and alliances have sprung up, they were never an official part of the game to begin with, if not a single alliance was formed during the entire course of the game it would not be a problem; alliances evolved out of a natural strategy by players and not by any of my own doing.
As for the bullet wound, it is sizable and potentially problematic but it did not obliterate the ankle or I would have gone into a bit more specification. So while the bullet did hit Execute's ankle, it was more like a grazing hit, and a grazing hit from a machine gun turret is still a serious (but not necessarily permanent) injury.
-
@The Ensorceler, yeah, I trust TCM with anything like that, I checked it out and it said serious bleeding, so while it's bad, it's not gone, at the very least.
I am gonna have to ask what is up with attacking me, then trying to form a seperate alliance afterwards, though.
-
((Honestly? I was pretty sure I had the best weapon in the game, and team Aztec had the most players in one place. In game, you fought me off fair and square. I'm kind of looking forwards to a second round, though, so I didn't want you to die.))
((TCM: Okay, fair enough. I'll edit my action.))

The lack of grievous permanent damage to Execute was due to his high defensive roll. Had he rolled less than a seven, you could have definitely permanently crippled him, and if he had been anywhere in the 1-3 range he'd most likely be killed instantly. It was also because you used your machine gun as opposed to your cannons, which could easily cripple if not obliterate an entire limb.
Also, while you can't claim someone's actual points, there's no rule saying you can't demand something from them when they get a new article. Obviously you can't just take a Skill or Ability when someone gains them, but if they got a new article that gave them a cool piece of equipment or weapon, you can say they must hand it over due to a previous agreement. Like I said before, how alliances/relationships are conducted between players is 100% up to them.
-
Follow the command. I'm not suicidal after all.

"Heh. You are in the great nation of Denmark! Care to tell me where you come from?"
Fallacy chats with shaman lady, also giving some attention to Execute's battle.

Look up at the Ensorceler. "By you saying soldiers, I have to assume that you want to fight those goddamn Aztecs. "*wheezing laughter* "Fuck, the only way you'd be able to get rid of 'em would be if you dropped a nuclear bomb on all of them. But I'll fight for you. I have a couple of bastards I'd like to take to the grave with me."

Round 59: Air Support
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Later Afternoon
Twinwolf feels like today would not be the best day to be shot in the back by an arrow so he follows the demands of the Aztec soldiers, walking down the road back towards the massive swirling purple portal while they follow close behind him, weapons ready but not pointed at him in case he attempts anything, which he does not. At the center of Denmark, the portal continues to ominously swirl but the rest of the Aztecs are no longer around, the only people in the visible area are two women, one of which is masked and riding on top of an elephant. [Stamina: 7] Through all of this, Twinwolf's leg continues to bleed, weakness causing his legs to buckle for a moment but he catches himself, it would be good to get the wound treat sooner rather than later. One of the Aztecs gestures to the portal, "You go through here and we can fix you up and give you a new job." Twinwolf looks back through the portal, and sees the inside of a very high class home filled with other Aztec soldiers. He must make a final commitment; if he goes through and the Aztec are true to his word, he won't have to risk bleeding to death or running for them. Then again, if he's in the portal and for one reason or another it closes up, he'd be stuck their until it opens up again, or it could stay permanently shut.
Wipeout does not like what she sees so she gets up and runs. [Speed: 6] The basketballer runs the other way away from the area with a growing amount of people, until she finds herself all the way back the abandoned tent city on the Western part of Denmark. As she regains her breath, doubled over with her hands on her knees, Wipeout can hear the nearby growling of dogs.
Execute is bleeding from his ankle once again and is not happy with it,"AGAIN WITH THE FUKKIN ANKLE. THAT BITCH." He lets out a frustrated sigh as he watches his opposition fly away unharmed, almost as if he were taunting him. Execute soars downwards towards the ground, spotting a collection of faces ranging from Twinwolf to FallacyofUrist and weird lady on an elephant as he passes into the portal and emerges into the other side. His soldiers are surprised to see him and attend to him immediately when he says that his ankle is in its default state of being shot. [Medicine: 1] Without having the appropriate medicine around, the fast-acting Aztecs take a torch and cauterize the wound, which stops the bleeding, and in turn melts away a lot of the muscle, fat, nerves and even some of the bone structure in Execute's ankle, effectively amputating it without actually removing it. Hey, two feet are overrated anyways, especially when you can fly.
Execute yells his incompetent faux-medical team off and hops on leg over to the portraits in the mansion. Most of them are of past battles and while they are grand in scale and contain a lot of weapons, but ancient cannons and artillery will not suffice in taking down a modern aircraft. Execute does find one possible solution in the epic portrait of a naval battle between two gun-mounted steamboats in a tropical landscape. Execute opens up a portal and sticks his head through, to scan the new land; at first it strikes him as a similar to the Aztec's homeland, except the humidity feels different in this place and the flora is different, more exotic and vibrant. The opening of the portal is next to a jungle river, and down the river he can see a steamboat paddling towards his location.
NAV picks himself up and brushes some sauce off of him before heading back into the pizza store and transforms back into a Soucouyant in the back, making sure to drop his skin off in a spot that wouldn't be obvious, his clothes and other items falling into a pile on top of his skin as the fireball emerges. The fireball flies out of the nearest window and flies through the air as quickly as it can towards Manitowoc; off in the distance it spots a small aircraft that looks more military than civilian and is flying quite close to the ground. [Flying: 4] NAV, despite flying as fast he can control, only clears about half of the ground between himself and the destination of The Connoisseur.
[If you gain an article while in Soucouyant form, it will appear with you wherever you are currently are.]
Ukrainian Ranger speaks to Hayder, the first being to appear out of the Dragon Age portal, explaining themselves and what they have to offer in this new world, "I am a mage and warrior from another world and need some help to deal with my enemies. You will be rewarded when we will finish them." Hayder scratches his chin in contemplation and then nods, obviously appreciating the offer of a monetary reward. "A proud mercenary like me is always on the hunt for good fights and more importantly, good gold." He then leans in close to Ukrainian, "But I warn you, if you plan to use me without giving me solid payment, I'll cut your head off and take whatever is on your body as a reward." He takes a step back and cracks his knuckles, "Right then, where are we going to start? Also, I have to ask what are you exactly? You're not any type of man-creature I've seen before. And what's that you're holding?" He says gesturing to the assault rifle.
The Ensorceler flies far away from Denmark, the place where winged men shoot at you with rocket launchers, and turns his plane to the East where things were hopefully less violent. On the way down in the road he spots what looks like some sort of accident and out of something between altruism and plain curiosity he decides to land nearby and aid in the situation of whoever is involved. Landing the plane in a flat field near the road, The Ensorceler gets out and walks to scene of the accident where he finds one damaged SUV and its injured driver along with a prone horse, covered in pizzas, and a Samurai calling for help. The Ensorceler walks up to him, "Hello, there. I see you are in need of some assistance. Now, I can either save your life, or I can empty this machine gun into you." He waves the barrel of his MP40 at Dolosus. "I assume you would prefer the former, but I would require something in return. I need soldiers if I'm going to win this thing. I am, at present, broke, but sometime in the future I should be able to provide you with equipment, and at that time I will call upon you to fight for me. Deal?"
Dolosus looks up at the Ensorceler. "By you saying soldiers, I have to assume that you want to fight those goddamn Aztecs. " The Samurai laughs a painful, wheezing laugh as he thinks of the endless number of Aztecs, and how every one of them he had slain were instantly replaced by two more. "Fuck, the only way you'd be able to get rid of 'em would be if you dropped a nuclear bomb on all of them. But I'll fight for you. I have a couple of bastards I'd like to take to the grave with me." He motions to his video camera which has fallen off of his horse but otherwise looks like it was not badly damaged. "Grab that camera and I'll come with you. Just get me to a hospital and I'll do anything you want."
High tyrol pulls out her revolver and shoots one of the thugs assaulting the police officer in the parking lot. [7+2 vs. 2-2(Unsuspecting)] She comes up behind them stomping on the lone officer and fires a shot that passes through the back of one skull and exits out of the other side, passing through to strike a second thug in the face. They both fall to the ground and the fighting immediately stops and Tyrol makes a remark with one hand on her hip, "You shouldn't do this, okay?" They all run away.
After this, Tyrol strolls to her pick-up and drives down to the warehouse where the arts festival is being held. Parking outside in the street, (-$1 for parking fare) she gets in line. After paying the entrance fee, (-$20) Tyrol is given a festival bracelet and allowed in. There are rows upon rows of artworks ranging from giant pictures and sculptures to small handcrafted jewels and even books. To her though, the place of most interest is the table where people are registering for the Poetry Slam.
"Heh. You are in the great nation of Denmark! Care to tell me where you come from?" Fallacy explains where the Shaman currently is. "I come from Icemark, home of the Varki people. What tribe or kingdom do you belong to?" While they talk, Fallacy hears Execute start yelling and cursing and then fly directly into the Portal. The Shaman notices this as well, "The men of this land have wings, not very many are like that where I come from."
Over in Wrightstown, Elephant Parade comes up from behind to local star singer Jessie Farrel, complementing her on her superb singing voice. Jessie turns around as Elephant gets off of his horse and introduces himself as a musical producer. He gives her an offer, if she were to perform his song "Horse, Of Course", she would receive half of the total profits. [Bargaining: 3] Jessie, although young, is not naive; she laughs at his offer and says, "For you old silly song I want no less than ninety. I'm the one doing the singing, right? If it's a hit, you'll be lucky to get a piece from my generosity. So 90%, take it or leave it."
From the Pathfinder Portal spawns another figure, a slow moving Cleric wielding a staff headed by the skull of a bird and his clothing is thick and baggy, resembling a large bird. (http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Thousand_Bones) He takes a slow, methodically scan around him of the area before starting to descend the hill.

These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

((So, to clarify, the foot is still there, but it's basically useless now?
Can I still put pressure on it or is it liable to just snap?))
The very much battered Aztec god seems to have a spark of inspiration, grabbing a previously unseen pencil and sign, scribbling furiously, ankle nearly forgotten, he strides out of the portal, and carefully places the plaque in front of the portal, then goes back inside, pencil forgotten, the sign having only a few words the Aztecs can't make out before he closes the portal, planning to open it in the future, it says "I'll be back, be ready".
That done, The Aztec God leers at the new portal, before turning to his temporary allies, "Do you want to come with me? I'm sure it'll be quite an adventure!"
Okay, I'm certain I remember hearing that portals closed by me can be reopened whenever I want from either side, if not, pretend what just happened never existed and instead post a guard of elite warriors at the portal.
Then send a dozen or so Aztecs and Yuri with me to investigate this new world vai looking for the two armies, try and find out which one is losing, ask the others if they want to come, and as usual, a group of medics should go and get some homeland medicine for Twinwolf, those bloody medics should be getting extra bonuses with the amount of wounds they tend to.
Edit: Notice that some of the teammates aren't here yet, try to keep open the portal until they get in, once they do, then I'll close the portal.
-
Look around for where the growls could be coming from, and get away.
-
"Tribe? Kingdom? Hmmm. Nation."
Explain the concept of a "democracy" to the shaman.
"Looks like my master Execute is in trouble. Would you care to accompany me?"
Regardless of whether or not she gets a yes or no answer, Fallacy loads her rifle and then heads to Execute's last seen position.
-
"It's a deal. The plane is over in that direction, I'll help you get in in a minute."
Try and loot a phone from the driver of the SUV. Grab the camera, assist Dolosus in entering the plane, and head for Manitowoc. Call ahead on the radio to inform the airport that I have a wounded passenger.
If I get a phone, give it to Dolosus and ask them to order the Connoisseur's food delivered to his house.
-
((So, to clarify, the foot is still there, but it's basically useless now?
Can I still put pressure on it or is it liable to just snap?))
It's still there. Because of the "surgery" performed on it, it is much weaker so it would prone to snapping if you put a lot of pressure on it.
If I get a phone, give it to Dolosus and ask them to order the Connoisseur's food delivered to his house.
The food has to be delivered in person, or else people with phones or portal abilities could complete the Quest very easily.
-
((Is stealing it from the delivery car not in person enough? I don't have any money, so that was my plan. I figured it would take a while to get all the food ready, so I didn't add it to this turn.))
-
"Lets say that I have some snails in my bloodline. As for the thing in my hands. It is a ranged weapon. Follow me, time to find a worthy enemy for us. Loot from their corpses will be your first payment
Go back to the Pathfinder portal hoping it attracted some wiki warrior. Attack spotted wiki-warriors on sight
-
((If I gave money to The Ensorceler, would that count as an assist for the Connoisseur quest, and would I therefore gain a point along with Ensorceler?))
-
((Is stealing it from the delivery car not in person enough? I don't have any money, so that was my plan. I figured it would take a while to get all the food ready, so I didn't add it to this turn.))
Oh, that's what you mean. That's a great plan actually, get all the food delivered to the place, hijack the car and then deliver yourself. That works and certainly counts as in-person. Just remember that The Connoisseur isn't expecting to pay anything and if the delivery guy asks him for money The Connoisseur will turn him away.
((If I gave money to The Ensorceler, would that count as an assist for the Connoisseur quest, and would I therefore gain a point along with Ensorceler?))
In this case, yes as long as he uses it to buy the Quest Items, in this case the food and drinks. If The Ensorceler goes for the robbery route instead, it won't count since he wouldn't use the money in that case.
-
Order the Connoisseur's food with The Ensorceler's phone, and give the Ensorceler some money to buy the food. Then wait for the Ensorceler's plane.
-
"90%? That's insane! I'll sing it myself, thanks!" Walk off in a huff.
-
Well I'd rather not die, so in I go.
-
After that plane! Sneak up and blood drain the pilot.
-
((Oh god. I really hope I'm faster than magic vampire ball lightning.))
-
After that plane! Sneak up and blood drain the pilot.
((This does not bode well...))

Round 60: The Sunset Invasion Ends
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Dusk
After viewing the inside of this new portal, Execute prepares to make his next big journey like he did a long time ago, (like forty turns or something) when he ventured into the Aztec lands merely a prince, and came out a God. Using some nearby writing material, he signs a plaque and places it right in front of the portal, "I'll be back, be ready". He then turns to one of his soldiers and asks him to deliver a message when they enter the portal, they are invited to journey to this new land where great adventure awaits. He also sends for more Aztec medicine men to head back home and gather more medical supplies, especially what happened during the last attempt of a medical procedure on himself. 12 Eagle Soldiers are ordered to be stationed at the front of the portal to Denmark, to ensure that no unwelcomed guests come through.
When this is all done for, Execute gathers himself, Yuri, and 12 Jaguar Warriors to enter the newest portal. They step into a jungle land with soft, rich soil, trees and flora that reach up into the sky and a humid heat that far exceeds even the even the Aztecs homeland, even the Jaguars quickly comment how hot it is. In this jungle they stand next to a large river, with a steamboat headed their way. Yuri explains to the Aztecs how those giant boats are powered by steam, a power source created by applying heat to water. The Aztecs are either intrigued or skeptical of this claim that somehow fire and water can be combined to power boats. As the boat gets closer, Execute waves it down and steps forward to speak to its crew. [Diplomacy: 7+2] The boat stops next to Execute's group as a group of sailors wearing early 20th century uniforms look down onto them. A portly but muscular man with a grand mustache that would only be possible in this era walks to the side of the ship, his uniform more decorated than any other sailor. (By this time, Execute can tell they are not just sailors but naval soldiers some are carrying rifles.) He identifies himself as Captain C. Sarver of the U.S.S. Swank and asks Execute to identify himself. Execute calls himself, "Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal", Leader of the Aztec people, and asks Sarver how the war is going. "Well, the Spaniards are tough bastards, I'll give them that, but we're pounding them with everything that they have and their crummy ships can't compete with our navy. Those Aztecs that you have with you, are they Filipinos? Why are you dressed like them, and why do you have wings taped to your backside?" Captain Sarver is interrogative, but his tone is cordial and respectful. Execute can tell that he is curious why two white men, neither Spanish nor American, are running around with a group of natives deep in the jungle in the middle of a war.
Fallacy thinks for a moment before replying to the Shaman's question. "Tribe? Kingdom? Hmmm. Nation." She then briefly explains the American system of Democracy where people vote on representatives to positions who then make decisions for them. The Shaman gets it pretty quickly, "I know of Shaman tribes where instead of a single leader selected by blood or merit there is a council where each member is voted in, it sounds like that." After the political science lesson, Fallacy asks "Looks like my master Execute is in trouble. Would you care to accompany me?" The Shaman nods, "It would be good to have a guide through this new land, and if you're master is in trouble we should help him before something bad happens, let's go!" The Shaman follows Fallacy to the portal where Execute was last seen entering. Before they step inside, the Shaman leaps off of the War Elephant and pats it on the side, "Stay here and I'll be back in a short time, okay?" The Elephant sadly trumpets as the two of them step past some Aztecs and their prisoner, and enter into the mansion. The Shaman looks around in wonder while Fallacy is greeted by some Eagle Warriors who are prepared to strike at the mysterious Shaman until Fallacy declares that this new arrival is a friend. The Eagles put down their weapons, still suspicious of the Shaman, and tell Fallacy that Execute has entered a new portal in the art room, which they point to. They say that he has invited her to join him in a new adventure in a far away land.
The Ensorceler positively responds when Dolosus accepts his offer of an alliance, "It's a deal. The plane is over in that direction, I'll help you get in in a minute." The Ensorceler jogs over to the SUV and opens the door where the driver is still breathing, but unconscious. [Looting: 5] Quickly searching the driver's body, the Ensorceler comes up with a Cell Phone but nothing else of value. (+Cell Phone) He stows the phone away in the breastpocket of his uniform and then goes back to recover Dolosus's camera, stuffing it under one arm and helping the Samurai up with his other arm, helping him to the plane and into the passenger seat. The Ensorceler throws the camera in the back and hands Dolosus the phone. The Ensorceler gets in the pilot's seat and begins to take off, allowing Dolosus one last look at his horse pathetically whimpering in the middle of the road. After achieving liftoff, Dolosus calls Dice, the national pizza chain, and gives the complete order for Richard Brooks to be delivered to his house in Manitowoc; Dice says that the pizza should get there shortly. Dolosus hands The Ensorceler the correct amount of money to pay for the entire order. ($60 Transferred)
In the meantime, The Ensorceler flies towards Manitowoc and radios in the Manitowoc County Airport, identifying his aircraft and that he is prepared to land with an injured passenger, the airport responds that they will call an ambulance. As the Ensorceler approaches the small airport, it looks like there will be no difficulty in landing on the main runway. He can see the flashing lights of an ambulance coming from the airport already as well.
Pizza will reach Richard Brooks's house in 3 Turns.
High Tyrol writes her name in for the Poetry Slam at the Green Bay Art Festival. While waiting, she goes to talk to anyone nearby. [Charisma: 6] She makes some small talk with a table of painters in the area before it is her turn to go on stage. When she is called, Tyrol walks onto stage in front of a few hundred people, a much bigger crowd than last time around, its even a little nerve-wracking! [Poetry: 7+2+1(High-quality Poem)] Tyrol speaks her tale of Conquistadors on the Moon, the tragic tale of how Conquistadors conquer our Moon and kill all of aliens on it, only to realize in the end that after killing all of the Moon People, there is nothing to be gained from the Moon. When she finishes, she receives a standing ovation from the crowd. She sits down and listens to more poetry ranging from awful to mediocre to decent, and isn't too surprised when she gets awarded first place. (+Poetry Slam 1st Place Certificate, +$100 Debit Gift Card, +$50 Gift Card to Sheds & Aristocrats)
Elephant Parade gawks at the demands of Jessie Farrel who demands a vast majority of the revenue from the release of his song. As he walks away unhappily Jessie calls out to him mockingly, "Good luck getting any radio station to play that stuff!" Elephant hangs his head low and furrows his brow angrily as he goes back to his horse, what a jerk! Offer her the chance to become the next teen pop idol and she wants to take all of his work, give a person an inch and they want a whole yard.
Just before he reaches his horse, a bright flash of white light temporarily blinds Elephant and causes his horse to let out a surprised cry. When Elephant regains his sight, he sees that in front of him is an old man dressed like an eagle, carrying an eerie staff headed by a skull of a creature that Elephant can not identify. "My name is Thousand Bones, the Waykeeper of the Storval Plateau. I was summoned here by one of your people, I do not know which one but I can feel that in this world there are only a few who have great spiritual energy and you are among them. So answer me these questions: Who are you? Where am I? And who summoned? Beware lad, I am an old Cleric so I will know the instant you lie to me."
NAV hovers towards Manitowoc, taking a break after a long flight, (even sentient fireballs need to rest) when he spots a plane taking off from below and heading towards the city as well. NAV, knowing that a random military aircraft like that must be headed to Manitowoc carrying Wiki Warriors who possibly want to beat him to his Quest, tails the plane. Flying after it, NAV sees that The Ensorceler is beginning his descent to land in the Manitowoc County Airport, an ambulance blaring beneath them. Unwilling to let The Ensorceler beat him to the goal, NAV zips straight for the plane, aiming to cause its pilot some severe landing issues. [Flying: 7 vs. 5+1] The Ensorceler sees a fireball aimed straight for him and angles the plane to land as fast as possible without crashing and lands on the runway. yet it still manages to hit the side of the plane! The Ensorceler braces for the giant explosion that is bound to happen next, but the fireball does not explode, instead it somehow slips inside of the plane's door and attaches to him in the cockpit! [5 vs. 9] The Soucouyant attaches itself to The Ensorceler's hand, but before it can begin to suck its blood the pilot pulls the fireball off of him, finding it to not be made of pure fire but instead a warm and light-weight energy. He takes NAV, opens up a window and chucks the Soucouyant into the air, watching it fly away like a Frisbee. Meanwhile, the Ambulance pulls up next to the slowing plane and emergency responders with a stretcher burst out of its back door.
Wipeout hears the menacing growls around her and tries to find where they are coming from. [Perception: 6] She can tell that most of the growls are coming from some of the nearby tents, so she breaks into a run again to get as far away as possible from the tents inhabited by vicious dogs. [Agility: 10] Wipeout continues running until she is away from Denmark and standing on the edge of the highway for Route 43. While before the roads were closed due to refugee movement and surprise militia attacks, standard busy transportation has resumed. There are no immediate threats in her area now.
Twinwolf enters the portal with spears and bows aimed for his back. He is greeted by a squad of fierce looking Aztecs covered in exotic weaponry and war paint, when his escort team states tells their comrades that he is the latest addition to their forces, captured and converted by Execute. They say Twin needs immediate medical service and since the professional Aztec doctors are out for a moment, other normal Aztec soldiers substitute for them. [Medicine: 4] They attempt to bandage up Twin's bleeding leg wound, but the bandages are not strong enough to hold back the flow of blood. [Stamina: 7] Twin is feeling somewhat unsteady from continuing to lose all this blood and likely can't last too much longer without something changing. An Aztec informs Twin that Execute has welcomed him to join him in a new adventure in the new green portal located deeper within the mansion.
Ukrainian responds to all of Hayder's inqueries, "Lets say that I have some snails in my bloodline. As for the thing in my hands, it is a ranged weapon. Follow me, time to find a worthy enemy for us. Loot from their corpses will be your first payment." Hayder follows the snail as it leaves the bank, hoisting his large sword on his back and sneering, "Eh, if I wanted to just get loot from corpses I could just do that me self and plunder a few of 'em ships. You'll have to give me something better than that if you want this to be a mutual relationship, snail-person." Ukrainian leads Hayder out onto the street and up the hill, Hayder looking around at Denmark but not openly commenting about it. There are no Wiki-Warriors in front of the Pathfinder portal and Hayder is wary, "What is this thing here? Part of my payment?" Nothing comes from the Pathfinder portal this turn.
Meanwhile, the Pathfinder Portal spawns an Ogre, a large, fiend-like horned humanoid. The Ogre looks around the empty bank before bashes its fists into the ground, creating a small crater, and then running outside to find prey.
The portal to the Mansion is closed by Execute, and the bright purple glow in the center of Denmark is removed from the sky, this marks the end of the Sunset Invasion. There were a total of 116 Aztec casualties.
Active Portals and Current Spawns:
Mansion - The gateway dimension between Denmark and other universes.
Central America/Age of Exploration - Aztecs.

The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant.

These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

write a poem about a Pueblo Indian who has his home and family destroyed by Spanish conquistadors and dies. after his death he travels to an afterlife where he gains power as a malignant spirit. When the general of the the men who looted the village dies, he is tortured by the Spirit.
-
((Well, this'll be fun, I'll be back in...
Ohhh, let's say 40 turns or so, I like nice round numbers.))
The god looks surprised at the question, he's been using his wings so much lately that he nearly forgot they were there, frowning momentarily, he looks back at the captain.
"Honestly? These are real wings.
Yes, I know how insane it sounds, but look! I can move them as if they're another arm, it's...
It's very odd, to say the least, b-but that doesn't matter right now, I'd like to help, I understand you're doing well, but a few more pairs of hands can't hurt, right? Just tell me where I can go, and I can take out whatever you need taken out, these wings aren't for show, I'll help you, and I'll be gone, if you don't trust me, well, I can show you where I came from."
SHOW OFF MY WINGS AND DIPLOMATISE! There's no way shaking this guy's entire concept of reality can fail, right??
-
"Looks like Execute's well enough to go on another adventure- last I saw he was occupied with an enemy aircraft."
If the shaman asks, explain the concept of an aircraft.
"Would you care to accompany me as I adventure with him?"
If Fallacy gets a yes answer, she heads through Execute's new portal, the shaman in tow. If no, then she shows the shaman to the place where the portal to Denmark(or wherever the main game is) was, and promptly gets shocked that it's gone.
-
If the fireball comes back, keep knocking away. As long as it stays in the area, though, I can't leave Dolosus. Get in the ambulance and keep watch.
-
((So how many turns am I going to have to wait until I I'm recovered?))
Wait in the ambulance and start reviewing the camera's footage thus far, since It's been running non-stop till now.
-
((So how many turns am I going to have to wait until I I'm recovered?))
Not too long, that's the upside of a hospital. The downside is that you are going to get hit with a big bill, because American healthcare and all.

"I am Elephant Parade, a Wiki-Warrior—one who fights other Wiki-Warriors for the crowd's amusement. Now, if you're familiar with Earth, we're in America—but you're probably not familiar with Earth, so I don't think that meant anything to you. We're in a small town—those do exist where you come from, right? Finally, I actually have no clue who summoned you, though it's probably safe to assume a Wiki-Warrior did it—no-one else has magic."
-
"I have not heard of this Earth, but I know of these townships. I have visited them, in fact, when my services are called upon, as it is my duty to purge the world of evil. What is your occupation?"
-
"I'm a Wiki-Warrior—a gladiator, more or less; one with the entire world for an arena, and the other Wiki-Warriors for opponents. Recently, though, I've switched from combat to composition—musical composition!"

"I'd be happy to join... once I'm sure I'm not going to bleed to death."
Don't die while they continue medical treatment

what is your read on these Wiki Warriors? Are they morally well? Evil?

what is your read on these Wiki Warriors? Are they morally well? Evil?
"It depends on the warrior, I suppose. Honestly, I think that the Wiki-Wars, run as they are, are inherently bad; this one forced a nearby town to evacuate. If there were restrictions in place to prevent collateral damage, it wouldn't be such an issue, but that's not the case."
-
"Risking the lives of the innocent for your own gain is not a moral act. Would you take me to one of these Wiki-Warriors, or at least point me in their general direction? Maybe I could even find the one that brought me to this world for some reason."

Offer him a ride on my horse, if it can carry two people. As we ride, ask him if he plays an instrument.

Keep attacking. Go for the easiest target, probably the wounded guy.
-
Stab away at the approaching ball of fire! With the non-broken arm, of course.
-
Take off my pants and tie a knot in each leg before following Dolosus to the ambulance. Whenever the fireball approaches, try to catch it in the pants and hold them shut.
-
Try to catch the fireball to keep it away from Dolosus! It phased through the plane, so just use my body to get it.
Are you staying in your plane or riding in the ambulance?
Also, the Soucouyant didn't phase through, it can just change its form to slip into holes and gaps just a few inches big, which there are many of in a plane.
-
((I'll go in the ambulance, since I can't use the plane much in the city. And some very useful information on the socuyant, that. I'll edit my revised action.))

(Sorry, but I want to sign out. You are free to do something nasty thing with my character.... I thinl I lost the plot line of the game or something and have neither fresh ideas no enjoyment of making a cunning plan. Besides my internet is rather irregular nowadays)

Round 61: Going Home
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sundown
Time: Dusk
The Ensorceler parks his plane and helps get his companion, the wounded Dolosus, outside and onto the stretcher where two emergency responders are there to meet them. Dolosus is carried into the back of the ambulance and while medical treatment is administered to him, he reviews his camera. Despite all the trauma the camera has endured, it still contains footage of everything from Dolosus's arrival, to his fighting of the Aztecs, to his allyship and killing of Person, his accident and now his convergence with The Ensorceler. [Medical: 4+2] Dolosus's armor is removed and while there are not enough medical materials in the ambulance to treat Dolosus, he is given some pills to alleviate his pain.
The Ensorceler hops into the back of the ambulance to travel with the Samurai as the drive speeds off to the nearest hospital. With a stroke of either bizarre ingenuity or just plain weirdness, The Ensorceler formulate a plan that involves him removing his pants. The emergency responders insist that he should not do this, but the Ensorceler retorts that it is necessary to ensure everyone's safety, especially Dolosus. Just as he says this, he spots the Soucouyant flying downward from the sky at the ambulance like a bird of prey.
Pizza will reach Richard Brook's house in 2 Turns.
Execute frowns when Captain Sarver questions his wings, "Honestly? These are real wings.
Yes, I know how insane it sounds, but look! I can move them as if they're another arm." He flaps them for effect and then launches himself up into the air, hovering a few feet off the ground. It's very odd, to say the least, b-but that doesn't matter right now, I'd like to help, I understand you're doing well, but a few more pairs of hands can't hurt, right? Just tell me where I can go, and I can take out whatever you need taken out, these wings aren't for show, I'll help you, and I'll be gone, if you don't trust me, well, I can show you where I came from." At Execute's display of superhuman ability the captain certainly turns pale as if he had just discovered a mass burial plot, a few of his soldiers whistle at Execute's maneuvers. Sarver leans on the railings on the side of the ship to support himself, "This damned jungle is making me lose my mind..." He raises a shaky finger, pointing in the direction that his ship had come from. "J-just a couple of miles up the river, y-you'll spot an American encampment on top of a hill. G-go there. Good Christ..." The captain collapses and several of his men rush to his aid.
"Looks like Execute's well enough to go on another adventure- last I saw he was occupied with an enemy aircraft." "Hm, aircraft?" The Shaman asks, prompting Fallacy to explain what aircraft are, flying vehicles powered by powerful, almost magical combustion. "Ah, we do not have something like that, unless it was enchanted first?"
Gearing up to go into the next portal, Fallacy asks her companion, "Would you care to accompany me as I adventure with him?" "I would, with you as my guide of course! And it looks like the portal back to the last world as closed for now. I do hope I can reach home sometime in the future..." The two of them enter the portal and find themselves deep in a tropical jungle in front of a river. About two hundred yards away, Execute, Yuri and some Aztecs are speaking with the crew of a military boat, armed with soldiers, cannons and machine guns though they appear not to be hostile.
NAV descends upon the ambulance and enters its rear through the tail pipe and comes out of a valve. The emergency responders break their focus on Dolosus now that a fireball is floating inside their area, one of them cries out "What the hell is that?" [1 vs. 3] The Soucouyant rushes at Dolosus but the Samurai rolls out of the way and NAV crashes into an IV stand, knocking it to the ground. [7+1(Agility) vs. 6] The Ensorceler speedily leaps upon NAV and places his pants over the fireball, tying the legs together and rolling up the waistline to trap NAV inside, while it tries to get free like an animal caught in a net. The ambulance now pulls up to Manitowoc General and whisked inside for treatment. The Ensorceler, pantless and carrying a fireball and a sub-machine gun, is not allowed in.
"I can all but guarantee that some will be hanging around Denmark; that's where we first appear. I can bring you there, if you want." Thousand Bones accepts Elephant's offer, "If that is where I can find my answers, take me to this Den of Mark." Despite his lack of apparent vision and age, Thousand Bones is able to easily able to get up onto the saddle of Elephant's horse and ride behind him. [Horse Speed: 8] Without stopping for sight-seeing and scouting like he had originally done, it does not Elephant long to reach the outskirts of Denmark. Along the way, Elephant inquires if Thousand Bones has any musical experience, "When I was younger I was skilled with the bone flute, but it has been many years since I have played." As they approach Denmark from the South, the two of them spot a blue portal upon a hill, Thousand Bones remarks, "That is the portal I came from, and I believe it would go back to my homeland."
As they ride closer into the town, the ground begins to shake as if something heavy is moving about and Elephant's horse begins to panic. Then he spots an Ogre, an eight-foot tall horned humanoid round the corner and come face to face with them. The Ogre growls, a pile of spit forming beneath it. "An Ogre," the ancient cleric states. "They are a vicious kind of creature, we must either fight or flee."
Twinwolf responds to the offer to join Execute in a portal to another world, "I'd be happy to join... once I'm sure I'm not going to bleed to death." After a few more minutes of doing his best not to die, the Aztec medics return with fresh supply from their world. [Medical: 8+2] Through the power of ancient medicine and esoteric knowledge in special herbs, Twinwolf's leg is fixed and patched up, though one of the doctors insists that Twinwolf should avoid putting too much stress on his left leg in the future.
Once the procedure is complete, Twinwolf steps through the green portal and finds himself with Fallacy and her Shaman follower, while Execute, Yuri and some Aztecs confer with the crew of a military ship on a river a couple hundred yards away.
High Tyrol, after claiming her prizes, settles into a quiet room at the art festival and writes a new poem, this time about a Pueblo Indian whose home and family are ravaged by Conquistadors and killed by them. In the afterlife the native becomes a ghost who haunts the leading Conquistador for the rest of his life. [Poetry: 2+2] High Tyrol feels like this is one of her weaker works, it starts out strong with the destruction of the Pubelo village but the middle drags on and the end of the story is obvious halfway through.
Wipeout decides that now is the perfect opportunity to get on her Cargo Ship and sail to Minnesota in search of the purifying waters that Prince had spoken of. The only issue with this plan is that the Cargo Ship is located all the way in the Bay of Green Bay and would take a long time to travel by foot, and she lacks money for a cab. She could always try something like hitchhiking or hijacking a car, maybe even trying to recruit someone, or any other plan she could come up with.
Ukrainian Ranger and Hayder are walking down a Denmark street when Ukrainian suddenly stops. "What's a matter wit' you?" Hayder asks, and the snail person turns to him. "I am sorry," Ukrainian says, "But I must terminate our contract prematurely. My planet needs me." Ukrainian then begins to vibrate and float into the air while an exasperated Hayder yells at them, "Wait, you can't just leave me here!" Ukrainian just waves and then retreats into their shell which becomes to spin at rapid speeds. There is an explosion-like sound as the shell launches into the air and deep into space...
Ukrainian Ranger has gone back to their home planet. The portals they had opened now close, but the spawns from those portals remain.
As Elephant and Thousand Bones form a plan to deal with the Ogre, they see the portal to the home of the cleric suddenly close up and vanish. "That is concerning," Thousand Bones says without an actual hint of concern.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points

Some dude wants food delivered to his house. Seriously, that's it.
Conditions:
*Be the first one with 5 Large Pizzas, 80 Chicken Wings and 8 two-liter Soda Bottles to Richard Brooks in Manitowoc.
Reward: 1 Point

high tyrol - Attending an arts festival in Green Bay.
-
Take out rifle. "Let us fight, then. If we do not, someone else will have to." Fire at ogre.
-
Aim at the horse men and fire my lee at them.
-
"Well then. To the aid of Execute! And to adventure!"
Fallacy seems downright cheerful as she heads towards Execute, loading her rifle as she does so(if possible).
-
"Looks like it's just us now, little guy. Let's see if we can get rid of you permanently so I can put my pants back on."Head for Pizza Man's address. Squish the fireball around a little to see how small it can get.
-
Realize that a good way for The Ensorceler to dispose of a fireball would be to douse it in water. Get one of the hospital staff to tell the Ensorceler to take his pants-with-fireball-inside and douse them in water.
Then, begin reviewing the camera footage for bits that would go well in a documentary on the Wiki-wars.
-
((A touch heavy-handed, but I really couldn't think of another way.))
The god seems satisfied by this resolution, turning to his allies and cheerfully saying "Well, you heard him and may have not understood him! This way!" He almost seems bubbly when he notices Fallacy, happily calling him over, "Well, we have ourselves a good challenge, we got an encampment to destroy! You up for it?", noticeably, he didn't seem to be internally panicking, likely, he found simply assaulting a toughened encampment filled with trained soldiers much easier than attempting to fight a single Wiki-warrior with a small army.
Off we go! Fly up and around as high up as you can, and scope out the base, if they start firing or the base is as scouted as it's going to get, report back to the group.
-
Attempt to convince someone to lend me their car, or to drive to the Bay of Green Bay.
-
I can slip through holes as small as a keyhole, there's gotta be a way out of these pants!
If not then struggle and wiggle around and try to make the bag hard to hold onto at least.
-
hmm, waitlist me. I want to try this, it seems like fun.
-
As you all might have assumed from the lack of activity, this game is indefinitely postponed. I hope you have enjoyed your viewing and participation of Wiki-Wars.
......Nah just kidding, new turn tommorow.

copyright conquistadors on the moon then celebrate my victory at sheds and aristocrats

Round 62: Ogre Time
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sundown
Time: Dusk
Execute waves goodbye to the unconscious captain and returns to his soldiers, who were unable to understand the heavy American accent of the naval captain, and calling Fallacy over at the same time. "Well, we have ourselves a good challenge, we got an encampment to destroy! You up for it?" The Aztecs are all enthusiastic about fighting a new enemy, especially ones that according to Execute, lack technology like the speeding cars and untouchable flying machine that had punished their forces and capabilities in the past. Execute commands for the Aztecs to stay low for now while he personally goes out and scouts the encampment down the river, using his flight as a means of both travel and intelligence gathering. He goes up into the air and flies East, and true to Captain Sarver's word, the jungle clears out to a hill with tents and weaponry, an American flag at the center of the hill waving in the wind. [Scouting:6] Execute takes cover in a palm tree and studies the hillside, where he watches the soldiers, which he would estimate there to be between 60 and 70 of in this location, either on patrol or at leisure. They are lightly armored and appear to be carrying WWI-era weaponry, such as bolt action rifles and semi-automatic pistols. There are also a handful of large cannons pointed towards the water at the top of the hill, most likely anti-naval guns. Additionally, there are several fortifications of sandbags at the foot of the hill.
While Execute has gotten a good read of this side of the hill, if he flies around to the other side of the encampment he would be able to have a whole idea of what this location was stacked with, whether it be more soldiers (the number of which could be double what he saw) or possibly additional weapons or devices. Then again, the longer he stays, the more likely he'd be spotted. He could tell that the forces he had at the moment, consisting of Yuri, Fallacy and a dozen Jaguar Soldiers, would be hardly enough to take on dozens, possibly over a hundred American soldiers armed with semi-modern weaponry. The wild card was that Shaman Fallacy was traveling with, who might be a mere magician or a powerful magic user, capable of wiping out a whole encampment on her own.
At some point, Execute remembers that he is injured fairly badly and bleeding.
Dolosus, while being treated for his injuries, realizes that the best way to get rid of a fireball would be to dunk it into a very unfriendly space for fireballs, such as a body of water. He requests for one of the more idle health officials to run after The Ensorceler before he leaves, and tell him to dunk his pants in the water. The nurse looks somewhat confused by the request, but goes off to find him anyways. As he gets treatment, Dolosus reviews the footage he has compiled so far for "juicy" bits. The fight with the Aztecs in the beginning is good, and then there's his battle with Person, though even the footage makes him look like a bad guy with the betrayal and everything, he would have to find a way to explain that to his audience or edit it out. Then there's the accident and The Ensorceler rescuing Dolosus rather than gunning him down in the street which he could have easily done, a touching moment showing a glimpse of humanity in the Wiki-Wars.
Thanks to the wonders of American Healthcare, Dolosus is patched up and in as good of a condition as he ever was, and is able to go on his way. On the other side of the wonder of American Healthcare, he is also billed $2,500 for the procedure and is told he has to pay it before any hospital or health facility in America works on him again, as he is now in their system.
Elephant Parade pulls out his Musket as he looks at the Ogre before him and his companion, "Let us fight, then. If we do not, someone else will have to." Thousand Bones appears to be impressed, "A noble sentiment, I will honor your wishes and fight alongside you." The Cleric's eyes, normally foggy, begin to glow a bright white-ish gold. Elephant Parade rides towards the Ogre in a strafing line, and the Ogre raises its arms and snarls. Suddenly, the blue portal from atop the hill vanishes and the Ogre is momentarily distracted, twisting its massive horned head in the direction of the disappearing spell. This gives Elephant the opportunity to raise and aim his weapon, [9+2 vs. 10-1(Large Target)] the muzzle of the musket flashes and the musketball hits the Ogre in the head, but it is only a grazing shot rather than a true headshot. The Ogre recoils in pain before turning its attention back to the horse and its two riders.
"I shall cleanse thee foul beast!" Thousand Bones aims his palm at the Ogre and from it spawns several fireballs which burn with the same fiery white intensity as his eyes. [7 vs. 8-1] The Ogre cries in fear and runs from the flames as they slam into its surroundings, setting buildings and patches of ground and road on fire.
Wipeout stands by the side of the highway with her thumb out, attempting to hitch a ride up to the Green Bay Area. [Hitchhiking: 9] A grey haired man in a black suit wearing a crucible and glasses stops to pick her up. "Please, come in," he says with a warm smile as he opens up the passenger seat door. Wipeout takes a seat and the two of them continue down on the highway. As they get close to Wipeout's destination, he asks her for the purpose of her trip, just as they round the bend into the harbor area.
NAV is trapped within The Ensorceler's pants, doing his best to zip and fly all over the place, trying to find freedom from the fabric prison. [3 vs. 1] While he does not escape, he forces The Ensorceler to have a less than pleasant experience holding onto the pants as the fireball bounces this way and that in every direction. At one point, NAV flies out of The Ensorceler's grasp while still trapped in his pants, forcing the soldier to dive upon his trousers like an investor that had just dropped their giant bag of money that they carry around.
Piratejoe, from the rear, watches as Elephant Parade and Thousand Bones attempt to take out the Ogre to little success. Doing his part in "helping" the situation, he gets on one knee and loads his Lee Enfield, aiming it but not at the large monstrosity. [10 vs. 6] While Elephant Parade is busy riding his horse away from the Ogre, Piratejoe shoots him in the back, hitting him directly in the left shoulderblade. The horserider is shoot off of his horse and tumbles to the ground, his Musket falling down in the process. Elephant Bones, not specialized with horses in any way, jumps off rather than try and settle the mount, which fearful rides away from the scene of the battle, particularly from the Ogre.
"Well then. To the aid of Execute! And to adventure!" Fallacy follows Execute's Eastbound path on foot, walking alongside the river and the jungle, reloading her rifle on the way. As they get closer to Execute's position, the Shaman asks Fallacy, "Why does your master wish to fight these people? He did not make them sound out to be enemies or that they had done wrong to him in the path." Fallacy noted that the Shaman walked on the water, despite the river being several feet deep, as if it were dry land. As she walked, she seemed to attract wildlife as well: fish and crustaceans under the water would follow her, birds and insects buzzed directly over her head. Even the plants of the jungle appeared to turn to face her as she passed by.
With victory established and money in her pocket, High tyrol celebrates by driving over to the Copyright Office and getting Conquistadors on the Moon successfully copyrighted (-$35). She then heads back to Sheds & Aristocrats to celebrate with the patrons of the place that made it all possible. [Celebration: 7+2(Wit)] Tyrol settles in the cafe and drinks coffee and eats pastries, conversing about her poem as well as her performance at the Poetry Slam. It seems that she is becoming something of a local celebrity in the Arts World, and this may prove to the be the time to expand her name and publications.
The Ensorceler looks at NAV struggles in the confines of his clothing, "Looks like it's just us now, little guy. Let's see if we can get rid of you permanently so I can put my pants back on." He walks towards the direction of Richard Brook's house, though it does prove to be a lot of effort in containing NAV, who forces him to stop occasional to refix his pants and hold the Soucouyant down, who squirms with the stubbornness of a flying cat on a leash. He curiously squishes the fireball around, trying to get it as small as possible, and finds that despite it seeming like a solid at first, like a liquid NAV can change its state to be incredibly thin, yet still retain a constant volume, which must be why it's able to sneak into some many spaces.
The Ensorceler comes to the Brook residence, a typical house in the suburbs of Manitowoc, and waits outside like a stalker while NAV continues to thrash about violently. After some downtime, the pizza dilvery man pulls up right outside the home of the Quest-giver.
The Ogre stomps towards the downed Elephant Parade, left vulnerable after Piratejoe's surprise attack. The Ogre wears an angry brow-furrowed expression on his face, and while Elephant tries to get his barrings together, the monster draws closer only for Thousand Bones to step between the two of them, as if planning to shield Elephant with his body. As the Ogre draws closer, the Cleric raises his open palms up before clutching them into tight fists, as if squeezing an invisible object. [10+2(Simple Spell) vs. 3] The Ogre raises its mighty fists above Thousand Bones and Elephant, when suddenly its arms begin to shake violently, and then a loud snapping sound can be heard as each of the Ogres fingers dislocated and twist in all sorts of awful, painful directions. This audible snapping of bone continues all down the Ogre's arms and down its body, its ribs and leg bones all breaking one after the other. The Ogre whimpers before one loud snap comes from its skull causing it to fall backwards onto the ground, twitching. Thousand Bones lowers his hands, breathing deeply, and looking toward his companion. "That one...took a lot out of me. Are you alright?"
Hayder, the mercenary swordsman, arrives on the scene just in time to comment on Thousand Bones defeating the Ogre, with his own brand of insightful commentary, "Holy shit!"

We Need A Bigger Boat! - While in water, NAV can turn into a Giant Great White Shark. While in this form, he gains +4 Swimming, +3 Biting, and eating large living organisms, such as dolphins or humans, will cure wounds.
The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

"When did...
When did that happen?"
Okay, get back to the group, and fill them in on the opposition, suggest plans of waiting until nightfall and striking in silence to the jaguar warriors, and speak to the Shaman about his magical firepower, then stop, think about the situation, and slap your head because you forgot you could just paint yourself a selection of proper weaponry, send off one of the Jaguar soldiers to fetch another standard Aztec to gather some paints and a surface to paint on, and prepare them just outside the portal to the land.
And get that arm fixed up, anything to stop the bleeding will do fine.
"I believe the incredible pain and blood loss is beginning to make me delirious, my friends, as I totally forgot one crucial aspect of my self, Fallacy, could you and your Shaman friend please go to the encampment over there and ask them if they have any painting supplies? I would, but I need to be fixed up slightly, it'll be worth it, I promise."
((I really do apologise, all of my allies, I totally forgot about the possibility of just opening a portal to whatever amount of weaponry we could want.
On the flip-side, I'm pretty sure just about anything can be made in a painting, so suggest the most over the top weaponry and gear you guys can think of.))
-
I know that as a GM I should remain neutral, but considering that Execute isn't fighting any players directly or indirectly, I think I should be able to freely suggest that modern military vehicles against WWI-era forces would be amazing. Execute leading the Aztecs into battle via tank or even an APC. Take on the American Steamboat Navy with Missile Submarines.

[N/A] Dolosus attempts to convince the hospital staff that the Wiki-War Foundation would cover the costs of his injuries. As soon as he says this, a man in a suit steps out of one the nearby closets carrying a briefcase. "No they won't," he retorts, opening up his briefcase stacked with papers, and handing one to Dolosus and a copy to one of the doctors, the contents of which specifically go into how the Wiki-War Foundation is not responsible for any financial transactions involving the contestants. The suited man then walks back into the closet and shuts the door.

Remember that the money is in my pants. Reason in vain with the silent fireball. Curse the silent fireball. Cry the first tears this body has ever wept on the silent fireball. Begin to wonder if the silent fireball might never have meant any harm at all. Free the silent fireball.
Grab the money, stare woefully at the knots in my pants and pay the pizza delivery person. Do this regardless of what the fireball does.

"Hm. Well, currently, I don't know, but how about you ask him? I'm pretty sure he'll be happy to tell you."
Fallacy directs the Shaman to Execute for the purpose of asking the question. Afterwards, she heads to the encampment and asks for painting supplies for Execute.

((Well, keep in mind that the power to open portals into paintings is kinda touch and go at times, what comes out of a certain portrait seems to be a combination of the actual art and the painter's assumptions in relation to it, so while opening an Aztec artwork of the lightning god does give me the actual god, I'm pretty sure making a field of devil fruits would come with all the baggage assumed, aka goddamn insane combatants ducking it out for them just out of frame.
Not to say you shouldn't try it.))

Fire at Elephant again.

"Well, I was shot—but only in the shoulder, so I should be fine for now, though I expect I'll need medical attention later. I'm more worried about whoever just shot me."
Take cover, if any is nearby; regardless of whether I find some, reload my rifle and fire at piratejoe.
((Can I do all this in one turn without penalties?))
-
hmm, waitlist me. I want to try this, it seems like fun.
Nearly forgot about this. Waitlisted.
((Sadness. It was worth a shot though, right? ))
Yes, but the ever elusive and oddly omnipresence Wikipedia Wars Foundation makes sure to cover their tracks and keep everyone informed of the rules and regulations, so that players can't use loopholes of the games to their advantage. They have a huge bureaucracy as well.
Take cover, if any is nearby; regardless of whether I find some, reload my rifle and fire at piratejoe.
((Can I do all this in one turn without penalties?))
Yes, though since the Musket is a Moderate Reload, it would mean that piratejoe would be able to fire at you first before you could retaliate.

Round 63: Pizza Absolvement
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Sundown
Time: Dusk, Light Rain
The Ensorceler looks at the struggling Soucouyant within his pants and begins to sob. Why did he confine this creature? This ball of light who knew no better than to pursue him mindlessly was subject to his catcher. Was The Ensorceler no better than the cruel hunter who traps animals of the wild not for food or even trophies but merely for his own sadistic pleasure? As tears fall on his pants, The Ensorceler undoes the knots and frees his captive, the fireball hovering in the air and spinning around, confused at its sudden newfound freedom. The Ensorceler walks towards the house, and approaches the pizza deliveryman with a tear-stained face, a wad of money in one hand and his pants in the other. He thrusts the money at the deliverer, "I pay for this man's food and drink, all of it. Let us end this cycle of barbarism and enter a new age of brotherhood." (-$60) The deliveryman tentatively takes the money and hurries to the front door of the Brooks' household. The Ensorceler watches as Richard Brooks receives the pizza free of charge, not even noticing the man who had paid for it. Once Richard closes the door The Ensorceler falls to his knees and cries more. The fireball was free, Dolosus was being treated and the pizza had arrived. For the moment, his perilous journey was over.
A light rain begins to fall on Denmark.
Quest The Connoisseur Completed!
DolosusDoleus and The Ensorceler both receive 1 Point!

The Ensorceler +Article: Worcestershire: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcestershire) +2 Saucing, +Never-Ending Bottle of Worcestershire Sauce
Dolosus looks at the lawyer's notification and sighs deeply before getting up and exiting the hospital. He walks off the grounds and looks North, towards the direction of Green Bay, and walks along the road. A travel sign is posted up that stating the distance from Manitowoc to other Wisconsin cities, and it states that Green Bay is 45 miles away, quite a journey, especially now without his horse.
NAV struggles within the confines of The Ensorceler's pants until he is free, suddenly. Instead of fighting, The Ensorceler out of the mercy in his heart, decided to let the Soucouyant free of the fabric. (The rain falling overhead does not effect NAV, as the Soucouyant is not literally a 'fireball', but was originally called one due to its appearance.) NAV locates The Ensorceler, and wanting to repay the kind favor, flies straight at him trying to get into his mouth and drain him of all that nice blood. [8 vs. 2] With The Ensorceler stuck deep in the throes of emotion, it's easy for NAV to fly straight into his open mouth and into his throat. The Ensorceler's poignant experience is interrupted as now he has a sentient creature lodged within his neck, making it rather hard to breath.
Elephant Parade reassures Thousand Bones as he stands up, "Well, I was shot—but only in the shoulder, so I should be fine for now, though I expect I'll need medical attention later. I'm more worried about whoever just shot me." The two of them run for cover behind a destroyed building as piratejoe continues to fire upon the two of them. [9 vs. 7] While they run, one of Piratejoe's shots blasts off the upper part of Elephant's left ear, not doing any serious damage but hurting a tiny bit nonetheless. The musician and the cleric hunker down behind the side of what once was a thriving antique store. As Elephant hurriedly reloads, Thousand Bones declares, "I will distract him, perhaps we can then make our escape." He gestures to what looks like a glowing crack in the world nearby. "That portal is closed, but if we can get close I can try to reopen it." After this, he stands aside and raises his open palms over the ground, and they tremble as he speaks, "Arise creature of Iron, defend your master!" Pieces of spare Iron from the surrounding area begin to fly together in front of the Cleric, twisting and bending and melding together as they form the a humanoid shape that stands twice as tall and wide as any man Elephant had seen.
Execute looks down upon his forgotten wounds, "When did...When did that happen?" He takes flight once more and heads back down the river to rejoin his allies. His proposed strategy is to wait until night falls and then send in his Jaguar Warriors to attack with stealth and precision. He also asks the Shaman about her magical arsenal. "Well, if we're fighting a bunch of people, I could set up some good traps or maybe ask the animals in the jungle for assistance. Why are we fighting these people anyways?" During this conversation, Execute slaps himself in the head because he has an incredibly versatile and powerful ability that he is not capitalizing upon. He sends one Jaguar Warrior to go back through the portal to find another Aztec that will come through with paints and painting materials. [4] The Jaguar leaves and returns with a regular Aztec holding a bunch of berries and pastes and a piece of refined wood, wondering what he's going to be doing.
He also asks for medical attention to these mysterious wounds. [Medicine: 5+2] His ankle is patched up and hearty plant sinews are wrapped around his arm, though the painful burn on his chest remains.
Fallacy, seeking additional (and likely better) painting materials, goes down to the American encampment. As she approaches, she alerts the patrols who run over and put their guns on her, but quickly disengage when they see she is a regular, English-speaking woman. She asks them for paint supplies, [Diplomacy: 10] and taking pity on this lone white woman wandering in the depths of the Philippine Jungle, give her an entire roll of large Paper and all the spare paint they have, several tubes covering the basic colors. When they ask her if she wants food, water or accompaniment, Fallacy turns it all down and waves them off, disappearing back down the river. [Perception: 1] Fallacy walks back and fails to notice anything fishy happening behind or around her in the deep cover of the jungle. Fallacy returns to Execute with the painting materials, and while he would be happy to see her again, something feels off. He pushes her aside, and looking in the distance, he spots a small band of Americans watching them from a hidden vantage point in the jungle. Clearly, Fallacy had aroused suspicion and had been tailed back to their location. The Americans run when they are spotted, most likely to report their findings to the encampment; it looks as though a sneak attack may not work after all.
Piratejoe fires at Elephant Parade's position, [10 vs. 6] firing twice. One of the bullets ricochets off the corner of the building and hits Elephant in the right side of his upper torso. It fails to strike any of the major organs, like the lungs or heart, but it does manage to go through an artery as it passes through him, causing him to bleed pretty badly from the wound, not immediately fatal but enough to be a large concern. Piratjoe prepares to fire again, raising his rifle to his eye and looking for the finishing shot, when suddenly an Iron Golem, out of nowhere, comes around the corner and stands like a barrier between his line-of-sight and Elephant Parade.
From the West, a racecar pulls into Denmark. Out of it steps, well, you'd think a NASCAR driver right? Well, it's actually a woman dressed in a 19th Century Aristocratic German Outfit designed for men, wielding a baseball glove and ball in one hand, a stick in the other, and a helmet adorning her head.
Cinder has arrived to industrialize the game!
The clouds part in one area above Denmark and down floats a woman in flowing robes and a football helmet. "I have come to liberate my sisters and the oppressed!" She floats down and lands besides Cinder.
Hawk132 has come to destroy the patriarchy with the power of Christ!

Abilities:
We Need A Bigger Boat! - While in water, NAV can turn into a Giant Great White Shark. While in this form, he gains +4 Swimming, +3 Biting, and eating large living organisms, such as dolphins or humans, will cure wounds.
The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
I hope no one minds, but I am bumping the amount of active players from 10 to 12. This may go back to 10 in the future, but hopefully I can maintain this larger amount.

"...
I would say this is bad but the lack of sneak-attacking is kind of moot if I can figure out how to do this correctly."
Okay, take a roll of paper, there being no paintbrush is fine, because, with the magic of finger painting, YOU SHALL PAINT A PAINTBRUSH! Simply paint an image of a set of paintbrushes on a wooden background, preferably some sort of table.
Edit: And secondarily, because Fallacy asked me to, you shall answer the Shaman's question.
Quietly, so the Aztecs don't hear you.
"Shaman, in my world, on- no, two levels above this one, I signed on to something called the Wiki Warfare competition, a battle of strength, wits, and power, entrants were delivered to the outskirts of the city you yourself came to, and fought, I, myself, fought as well for the promise of ever more power, something of a sustaining system perhaps, but it was something neverending for that, I may have grown weary of the fighting as is shown with my myriad allies but I shall fight nontheless, but to more directly answer your question, the injury I sustained to my ankle came from a plane and I believed the only option was to get weaponry capable of defeating such a plane so I came here, recruiting as I could- Yes, Fallacy, you can take as much painting supplies as you want -to try and take something capable of harming it, cannons, mortars, things like that, and here we are now where you only nearly stopped me from going on a rampage towards an innocent group of fighters, thank you for that, by the way.
Personally, I blame it on the blood loss, I get delirious and wont to make overly complex and needlessly mean plans when I'm low on blood."
-
"Hold on Execute, two things. One, my friend the shaman asked you a question which I'd appreciate if you answered. And two... I happen to be an artist."
See about getting the painting supplies from Execute. If Fallacy gets the painting supplies, she paints a field haphazardly littered with various crates, recently deposited there, each full of painting supplies.
-
Oh no. Everything is terrible now. Who could have foreseen this.
Run back to the hospital, and show people my glowing throat until I can get emergency medical attention.

Suddenly change my mind and attempt to get back to Denmark. If I get there, use Person's keys to get into the potatomobile, and start driving towards Green Bay. Avoid all wiki-warrior contact if possible.

You can get to Denmark by foot, but it might take a few turns. The trip to Manitowoc was shorter due to your combination of traveling but horse and then aircraft.

Okay, new plan!
Sell 900g of the cocaine and use the money to pay my medical bills/purchase a new horse. Then, ride up to Green Bay. If I cannot get a horse for any reason, just leg it to Denmark, break into the potatomobile, and ride it up to Green Bay.

Round 64: Phillipino Painting Party
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Light Rain
Time: Night
Cinder drives around the city of Denmark, distributing flyers asking for donations in order to fulfill her dream of creating the world's first baseball team consisting entirely of steampunk robots. However, as she drives around she finds that there are not many people out and about, in fact the whole city seems to be dead, not just randomly deserted; craters and debris like broken vehicle and chunks of concrete litter the roads and sidewalks, while buildings burn all around her. Apparently something happened before she had arrived, the brochure said that Denmark was a tranquil town in the mid-west, not the sight of a aerial bombing raid. As she drives down one road, she spots a couple people hunkered behind some sort of giant metal humanoid.
NAV, no comfortable living inside of The Ensorceler's throat, attempts to drain him of all of his blood from the inside. [10 vs. 2] Imagine a giant leech stuck inside of your throat, draining it of blood while simultaneously choking you, this would be a similar situation to what The Ensorceler is facing right now. [6+2(Stamina)-4(Suffocating)] The Ensorceler sprints for the Hospital without being able to breath and losing blood very fast, clutching his neck as he goes straight for the entrance. Right before he can cross the threshold of the automatic door, he collapses, out of breath and out of blood. A group of medical staff sees this and rushes forward, but as they do The Ensorceler suddenly molts his skin into a fleshy pile beneath his clothes, two orbs ascending from the body. There are screams and shouts of awe and surprise as the medical staff flee from the rise of the Soucouyants.
NAV suffocated/exsanguinated The Ensorceler to death.

DolosusDoleus, now equipped with 1 Kilo of Pure Cocaine aka Powder aka Snow aka Tony Montana aka The Yayo etc., goes around Manitowoc, looking for somewhere he can peddle his goods without being caught. [Drug Dealing: 8] Dolosus walks until he spots a car full of college aged men loitering in an empty parking lot behind a paper factory next to a river. The Samurai walks up to them and offers them ninety percent of his supply. They talk among themselves for a bit, before settling on just a couple hundred grams. Despite this reduced quantity, Dolosus makes the biggest profit anyone has in one turn all game. (-.2 Kilograms of Cocaine, +$14,000) With this immediate high revenue, Dolosus runs back into the Mantiowoc medical center to pay off all his medical bills. Just as he's handing over his money, he sees his ally The Ensorceler run towards only to collapse and then spawn two of those firey orbs that had harassed them before. [3+1(Athleticism) vs. 5] Dolosus runs out a side exit, trying to outpace the Soucouyant that was once The Ensorceler, but the fireball catches up with him and attaches to the end of his left ring finger. [Athleticism: 8+1] Dolosus simultaneously runs in the direction of Denmark while unsuccessfully trying to shake free of the Soucouyant. (He would stop to look for a new horse, but that's a little difficult when a vampire is feeding off of you.) Being on foot, he gets nowhere close to Denmark, but he does get to the intersection of Route 10 and Highway 43 which is in the right direction.
Hawk calls up to the heavens and asks for God to smite all of the heathens that are within the ruins of Denmark. [Divinity: 7+2] The clouds above Hawk part and a patch of sky glows brightly despite it being nighttime. "You want me to smite this place? I swear I just did. Listen, I'm really busy for Christ's sake. If you want some smiting to happen, go do it yourself." The sky returns to normal but not before a golden ray from the Heaven's shoots a golden scepter right into Hawk's left hand, since his right is already equipped with Saint Patrick's Holy Staff. The tip of it glows with a bright white pulse. (+Divine Scepter of Smiting)
When her driver asks Wipeout why she is being driven to the Bay, she enigmatically replies that she has "business" to attend to. With an unsure smile, the driver lets her out and wishes her a good day before speeding off. The harbor stands before her with an assortment of boats for everything from business to pleasure. She walks along a long dock until she finds the SS Alba standing in all of its glory as if it had never sank that fateful winter day back in '38.
Execute takes the roll of paper and rolls it along a nearby flat rock, in lieu of a proper table, and orders the Aztec citizen to finger-paint a picture of paint brushes in a most meta way. [Painting: 9] While not a professional, the citizen's simple painting works and Execute reaches inside, pulling out several paint brushes of varying sizes and textures. (+Paintbrushes) Then, as per her request, he takes the Shaman aside and explains why this whole complicated ordeal has to happen, and while she understands why they have arrived here, she questions the validity of the Wiki-Wars as a whole. "Why would you want to join something like that though? In my home, except among the warrior tribes, warfare is a last resort for when all other options have failed. Why start a war when there is no reason for one, and put so many lives at stake?"
During this moral debate, Fallacy takes some paintbrushes from Execute and on a fresh piece of paper, begins to draw a field full of crates containing additional painting supplies. [Landscape Painting: 3+2] Fallacy does her best, though she ends up getting a bit caught up in making the painting expressive and detailed. Not only does she make a field full of crates, she draws with the crates a whole tribe of people who's lives and society are centered around painting and the painting crates. It's excessive, but hopefully Execute won't mind.
Twinwolf, cured of his wounds by the Aztecs, reloads his pistol and steps through the portal that Execute had most recently set up. He finds himself whisked away from the lofty mansion and now standing in jungle terrain surrounded by rich plant life and a humid atmosphere, while a fat river bubbles besides him. Just up ahead, he spots Execute, Yuri, Twinwolf, a Shaman and some Aztecs congregated around a large flat rock.
One of the Aztecs spots something and points down the river, and in the far distance, the group can see a steamboat waving an American flag coming in their direction, leaving them with only a couple turns left to prepare before contact.
U.S. Warship arrives in 2 Turns.
Piratejoe takes out two grenades and lobs both of them, one arching over and behind the metal giant to where Elephant Parade was hiding, the other directly at the Iron Golem. [9 vs. 7] The first grenade lands pretty close to Elephant Parade and a piece of shrapnel slashes the front of his right forearm, giving him another wound in already damaged area. [2 vs. 6-2(Large)] The second grenade lands too from the giant and rolls across the ground, exploding harmlessly. The golem turns to Piratejoe and bends its head down, opening its mouth and unleashing a stream of purple grey at him. [7 vs. 3] Piratejoe runs from this strange breath attack but it moves quickly and part of it manages to touch his left leg. Joe's movement begins to get sluggish and he looks down to discover that everything below his left knee has turned to metal!
The Grey Gas cloud persists, swirling around like a fog, separating Piratejoe from Elephant Parade, Thousand Bones, the Iron Golem, and Cinder who has not been discovered by either competitor yet.
Thousand Bones spreads his palms on the badly injured Elephant Parade and begins to heal him, [Healing: 2+4(Cleric)] and heals him up his most recent wound, but the rest remain and he is quickly losing blood. "You are in bad shape my friend, we should proceed somewhere safer so I can focus my healing energies onto you without fear of attack, this last foe has proven that he can attack through my Iron Golem." The old Cleric looks around before spotting the closed portal in the empty lot nearby, "Do you see that glowing tear? If we can get close enough to that, I can use my magic to open it up and we could escape this assailant while my Golem keeps him busy."
No longer interested in the Wiki-Wars, High Tyrol decides to continue pursuing her poetry career instead.
High Tyrol has retired.
Greatness942 enters Denmark from the West, dressed in a business suit and she does mean business, carrying both a crossbow and a survival knife. She is accompanied by a knight straight out of the Crusades.
H4zardZ1 comes from the opposite side of town, from the East, bringing a Loyal Caribbean Soldier along with her. She has a bike, but she isn't riding it at the moment since it is stowed away in the back of her tank that she is currently commanding.

Abilities:
We Need A Bigger Boat! - While in water, NAV can turn into a Giant Great White Shark. While in this form, he gains +4 Swimming, +3 Biting, and eating large living organisms, such as dolphins or humans, will cure wounds.
The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
The inevitable has happened, someone has spawned with a tank.
In homage to Execute, who has somehow survived 40+ turns, I have based a character on Prince Executus and Yuri in Shadestyle's Darkness Redeemed RPG, as a Russian Prince and his loyal Boyar subject who can travel through paintings.
-
Clearly the solution to this problem is simple, use more grenades.
-
((Argh. I shouldn't have tried to showboat with the whole stamina/speed walking thing. Rewaitlist, please.))
-
Wait what, i spawned with a light tank?
Also, i don't know what i want to do, so...
Move around, look for something interesting.
-
((I'm back, and I'm a crusading business woman. Who also happens to have John Locke's knife. That's pretty sweet. I'm giving my Knight a name, because why not.))
"Sir Lorne, we are here! Beautiful Denmark, Wisconsin! This place has been the sight for many battles. Sir Lorne, we must add to this conflict!"
Take the Knight, who I have named Sir Lorne, to cover me and look for any Wiki-Warriors. Meanwhile, I'll use my tracking to look for Wiki-Warriors myself. If I find any, track the trail to a good enough distance away from them. I want to observe to wait for an opportune time, for obvious reasons.
-
((Oh god not a tank. This should be interesting.))
Attempt to run towards the nearest body of water, or if one isn't available, break into someone's house and douse the fireball thing in water. While doing so, attempt to shake the fireball off and try to slice at it with my katana.
"JESUS SHIT FUCK STUPID FIREBALL BULLSHIT GET OFF OF MY ARM!!!"

((I know, right? Not for lack of trying, too, I get injured so frequently, honestly I thought I would be dead by now.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Fallacy: Ohhh, is that an adventure hook?! LOOKS LIKE I KNOW WHAT TWINWOLF IS GONNA BE DOING!))
Execute beams at his own creation, simple, and effective, looking at the boat sailing towards them, he speaks to the shaman, "Well, you see, the answer to that involves quite a few different reasons, number one is the fact that the Wiki-Wars just... Began, at some point, one second we all went about our lives, and the next the Wiki-Wars had been an integral part of the world for centuries, the only reason we figured out that someone messed with reality was because we eventually figured out that history as it was told from Wikipedia Articles made no mention of it, people have railed against it, but...
Well, we used to have more continents before, a prevailing theory is that the Wiki-Wars was made into existance by some bored celestial power, which does explain a few things, such as this competition's near omnipotence and ability to give powers...
In any case, to answer your question more directly for some people, the promise of power is a strong one, some people are made to enter the wars, some go into it willingly, some are insane enough just to want bloodshed, others do it for the good of their people, or themselves, others find themselves without meaning, perhaps.
*Sigh*, look at it like this, you look at your land, and you think to yourself of what you could do better, if only you had the strength, I'm a failure, no matter what way you look at it, failure to my own land, failure to these people, failure to keep strong, failure to live up to the expectations, I may regret the choice of joining this, and I may one day too soon look back on the choices that led me here and felt I should have led a different path, but as long as I even see a speck of a chance in my redemption, I will unflinchingly soak my hands in blood to save those whose blood I had soaked in for my own hedonistic pleasures."
His face darkens, before he notices Twinwolf.
"Oh, hey, friend! Good to see you here, I was wondering where you went, see, I just remembered that I could open portal into paintings, and have been preparing myself as such, I need you, and some of the Jaguar Warriors, to go into the land Fallacy has painted, and take some painting supplies, they're the big boxes in the field, you can't miss them."
That said, I'll open the portal to Fallacy's world.
"Oh, Shaman, please, make a painting of whatever charms or focuses or... Anything you can think of, then give the result to me, I'll be able to give you them once I open the world inside of it, Yuri, that's the same for you, too, armour, weapons, anything you'd deem useful, it doesn't matter how it looks, as long as I'm capable of understanding what it is, I can open it without any troubles, Jaguar warriors and you, civilian, keep an eye on Twinwolf and help him out if needed, Fallacy, try to make a landscape painting of an enormous bunker, easily defensible and very durable."
That all done, paint an image of a large megaphone, one of those more modern ones, with multiple settings and such, along with a pair of binoculars, also very modern, then pull them out and use it to hail the ship.
-
"I think I'll do you one better!"
Fallacy paints a forest, complete with an abandoned nuclear silo. Seriously, those things... built to last, even against a direct nuclear strike.
-
Look for people to smite. Test out the scepter on something beforehand. I want to see how powerful it is. Also, banish snakes out of the USA for teh lulz.
-
Go into the hospital, find the weakest and most vulnerable person I can, and turn them into a soucouyant.
-
"Hmph, bloody inaccurate travel brochures."
Try to surreptitiously play baseball with the grenades and bat them back to piratejoe. Better than picking a fight with the people with a giant iron golem.
-
Go into the hospital, find the weakest and most vulnerable person I can, and turn them into a soucouyant.
((Crap.
Crappity Dappity Dat With A Fine Feather Hat looks like we're all about to get a lesson in exponential growth, kiddos!))
-
((The title of Round 70 is going to be The Soucouyant Legion vs. The Devil Fruit Users. Totally calling it.))
-
((One think to note is that socouyant aren't necessarily indestructible, and are especially vulnerable to things that didn't exist when the legends arose, as they won't have de facto immunity. I'd recommend shrink wrapping them as a first line of defence, but alas, the only character to have fought one off and could give advice is now dead.))

((Well, luckily, I, Fallacy, and a handful of aztecs,do know that rice is something they count, and then run off if you see them do so.
Of course, that info might be a bit moot when there are thousands of rouge fireballs going around the place.))

Who knows, maybe one of the paintings in the mansion is that that of an endless rice field.

Sail off to Minnesota!

((If you're going to do the turn feel free to auto me if I don't post in time, I just got home from a 12-hour plane ride and am far too tired too post something that wouldn't be somehow stupid))

Sprint for the portal with Thousand Bones.
-
My Internet has, and will continue, to be unreliable for the next week or so. Despite this, I will try and get the next turn out as soon as possible.
UPDATE: I have located a public computer at this resort that allows me to work on this game. The turn is 50% completed, expect it to be out sometime tomorrow.

Round 65: Banishment of the Snakes
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Light Rain
Time: Night
Hawk picks up her scepter and looks at it in all of its splendor, glowing but not necessarily awe-inspiring or anything. She points the tip of it at a nearby abandoned one-story house and lets loose with it, sending a fairly-slow moving white orb at the structure. It's not a very interesting sight until the orb makes connect with the house and obliterates the front-half of it in a brilliant explosion that lights up the area like a white firecracker. Satisfied with these results, Hawk heads down the road looking for people in need of a good smiting. She comes across a street corner where several contestant-looking people are hunkdrered behind a giant golem as explosives go off around them.
Also, for fun, Hawk gets down on one knee and utters a terse prayer. From her perspective, nothing has even happened, yet in reality she has unleashed a cataclysmic event that could change the United State's natural ecosystem permanently.
NAV continues to fly through the Manitowoc hospital, terrifying everyone and sending those who are able to move running. The Soucouyant head towards the Intensive Care Unit section of the hospital, knowing it will be full of weakened, crippled and comatose prey who can offer no resistance. [Hunting: 10] NAV flies into the I.C.U., full of critically ill individuals and the brave medical staff staying behind, refusing to abandon their patients even if there is a fireball zooming about inside in the hospital, jackpot. [1 vs. 3] NAV flies towards an elderly man, but just before he can attach to him, a nurse throws a medical blanket at him, knocking him off course. In the time that NAV shrugs off the blanket, some of the patients are already being transferred out of the room with haste.
Piratejoe ignores the part of his body that has turned to metal and tries to look past the grey fog, spewed from the mouth of the golem, to find his targets, but has little luck. He takes his final two grenades, and just as he prepares to launch them over the fog and as close to where he suspects Elephant Parade to be standing, Cinder springs from her racecar and runs to the aid of E.P. and Thousand Bones. [5-2(Low Visibility) vs. 8] [3-2 vs. 10] The grenades go over the metal fog, but as they fall Cinder has already gotten into a hitting stance, her bat held behind her. With one solid swing, she knocks both of the grenades back over the fog, sending one back, rolling just a few feet from Piratejoe, while the other lands directly on him. [4] [3] Piratejoe attempts to move, but the grenades have been cooked for too long at this point and the explosion mechanism triggers in both. The grenadier suffers both a hail of metal shrapnel going into his side, while simultaneously having one of his legs blown off. [Will to Survive: 6 = Insufficient] Piratejoe crumples to the ground, struggling for a few moments to right himself back up before quickly succumbing to several major injuries. His corpse is then engulfed in the fog, turning it into metal, instantly turning him into a statue that portarys his moment of defeat. Cinder snarkily makes a comment to Elephant Parade and Thousand Bones, "Hmph, bloody inaccurate travel brochures."
Cinder batted Piratejoe's grenades right back at him!

Elephant Parade is rescued from by the efforts of Cinder, which Thousand Bones is immediately grateful for as he turns to her, "My thanks, young mistress, from saving my companion and myself from that dangerous rogue. For your efforts, I will let you in on some information; do you see that tear right there?" He raises a finger and points to the glowing blue anomaly that sits in the middle of a nearby empty lot, filled with the bodies of dead Aztecs, existing like a tear in the space of the universe. "That is a closed portal. My companion and I intend to enter it, in order to leave this world which has, since my arrival in it, has consisted of nothing but terror and treachery. Should you choose, I will allow you to cross it with us and enter into whatever exists on the other side." Thousand Bones waves at the Iron Golem and the metal guardian groans, suddenly collapsing into a pile of scrap metal consisting of the many miscellaneous parts which it was created from, the metal fog also disperses at this time. Thousand Bones and Elephant Parade, no longer in the midst of combat, stroll up to the closed portal. Thousand Bones pushes his hands apart as if he were imitating Moses's parting of the red sea, and suddenly the once portal once sealed by Execute opens up, revealing an opulent looking mansion on the other end. "Interesting...Elephant, you may proceed, I will stay for our savior and await her decision."
The portal to the Spanish Mansion has re-opened.
Greatness, on her first order of business in Denmark, speaks to her mercenary knight companion, "Sir Lorne, we are here! Beautiful Denmark, Wisconsin! This place has been the sight for many battles. Sir Lorne, we must add to this conflict!" The armored man nods, "Of course my lady, my lance is eager to taste the blood of the heretics!" [Tracking: 2+2] Greatness uses her tracking ability to scan the area for recent activity of Wiki-Warriors but finds little of use, all of the footprints appear to old to be of use, as they could have been made hours previously with their originator miles away at this point. Sir Lorne is able does spot something of interest, "Lady Greatness, in the distance yonder I believe I spotted a giant monument caving in on itself. There must be some great commotion hence."
Execute explains to the Shaman, longwindedly, the nature of Wiki Wars and how they started and what they could possibly be, and why someone might want to join the games. "I can't say I understand why these games exist but...somethings are not left up to mortals to know." Then, Execute notices the arrival of Twinwolf, who rather reluctantly went along with Execute's plans. "Oh, hey, friend! Good to see you here, I was wondering where you went, see, I just remembered that I could open portal into paintings, and have been preparing myself as such, I need you, and some of the Jaguar Warriors, to go into the land Fallacy has painted, and take some painting supplies, they're the big boxes in the field, you can't miss them." As he goes to open up Fallacy's painting into the world of spontaneously appearing painting boxs, he turns to the Shaman once more, "Oh, Shaman, please, make a painting of whatever charms or focuses or... Anything you can think of, then give the result to me, I'll be able to give you them once I open the world inside of it, Yuri, that's the same for you, too, armour, weapons, anything you'd deem useful, it doesn't matter how it looks, as long as I'm capable of understanding what it is, I can open it without any troubles, Jaguar warriors and you, civilian, keep an eye on Twinwolf and help him out if needed, Fallacy, try to make a landscape painting of an enormous bunker, easily defensible and very durable."
The Shaman takes a paintbrush, "I am by no means an artist , but I can try." [Painting: 9] Despite her humility, the Shaman produces a well-crafted and accurate depiction of a Shaman charm.
Yuri also takes a paintbrush and gets to work on portraying equipment for his forces. [Painting: 1] Yuri excitedly gets to work on an elaborate painting of the Russian Army at its height, full of lines of infantry and tanks, with planes soaring above. And just before Yuri finishes it, he knocks over a vial of paint that spillls onto the canvas, ruining his creation and spilling valuable painting supplies. The Boyar sighs deeply.
Fallacy, perhaps the best artist in the vicinity, responds to her master's request, "I think I'll do you one better!" [Landscape Painting: 4+2] She creates a forest, and deep within the greenery a giant tower rises into the air, what remains of an abandoned nuclear missile silo. In the throes of creative exploration, Fallacy may have gone too far with the 'abandoned' part, as the missile silo is overgrown with plant life and is cracked or broken in certain areas, in fact the top of it is partially missing.
Execute opens up the portal to the world of painting supply crates, and Twinwolf, accompanied by the Jaguar Warriors and the Aztec civillian, step within. Before them is an open field, where various crates line the ground, though not as if they were dropped there. They appear to be coming forth from the ground, varying in size, with some of the smaller crates partially embedded in the earth. The crates are actually growing from the ground, as crops would do. As the party approaches the crates, in the distance they spot a few individuals in the distance staring back at them, likely the tribal inhabitants of this world that Fallacy had created. They do not act hostile or friendly at the moment, they simply observe Twinwolf and his Aztec companions.
Finally, Execute sets himself to work on creating an illustration of some tools that will come in use in the very near future. [Painting: 10] Execute immediately opens up a small portal into his picture and pulls out a Futuristic Megaphone as well as a pair of Futuristic Binoculars, both high-tech creations that surpass the technology of the present day even in the modern world beyond the portals. Execute uses the Binoculars to calculate the exact distance of the American Warship, and then applies the Megaphone to hail them. While he has no doubt that the naval soldiers received his message, they are either unable or unwilling to answer back and continue proceeding towards Execute's position.
U.S. Warship arrives next turn.
Wipeout boards her majestic cargo ship and assumes the captain's position, starting up the large vessel and beginning the journey to the waters of Minnesota. [Sailing: 6] After a few hours of sailing the ship, which admittedly was built with capacity in mind way over speed, Wipeout reaches Summer Island. The problem with using a ship of this size is that she'll have to sail all the way around Wisconsin the long way, as she is unable to take any of the smaller in-land waterways.
Dolosus is occupied at the moment with getting the Soucouyant, formerly known as The Ensorceler, off of his pinkie finger."JESUS SHIT FUCK STUPID FIREBALL BULLSHIT GET OFF OF MY ARM!!!" Fortunately for him, there is a river that runs perpendicular to the road nearby. [3 vs. 2] Dolosus sprints for the water and dips the fireball off of it, which forces it to slip off of his finger, much like water removes a sticky substance from someone's body. While this removes the Soucouyant, it does not harm it, and the fireball remains blood-thirsty. [5 vs. 3] The Soucyouant flies up and reattaches itself to Dolosus's lower body, sucking blood from him once again. [8+2 vs. 2] Dolosus removes the Soucouyant again by slamming his Katana into it, and while it slices the Soucouyant in half, the fireball simply reforms into one whole orb. Frustrated, Dolosus takes the blunt end of his Katana and begins beating it into the shore of the river, burying it in the soil and then shoving a pile of dirt above it. That should keep it contained for a while.
H4zardZ1, looking for something of interest, rolls her tank down the road. After passing a series of ruined houses and rubble, they finally come across Greatness and Sir Lorne. The Knight hails the tank with a wave, "Greetings!"
News Update: Reports are coming in that snakes in the United States have suddenly entered into a frenzied state, hurrying towards the edges of the country and leaving, whether through the Canadian and Mexican border, or even straight into the ocean if it is closest. While millions of Americans are in the paths of the snakes, no incidents of snake attacks have been reported. "I was just at the beach with my family, when the snakes started coming onto the sand," says Jose Igauldo who was vacationing on the eastern coast of Virginia. "We thought they were going to come after us but they just slithered by and went into the water. It was like a movie..." Scientists have been unable to explain this behavior so far, and attempts to contain the snakes are failing. Even snakes that were contained in commercial farms, zoos and research facilities have managed to escape. More on this story at 11..."
A flying car races towards Denmark, hovering over the town. There are multiple people inside, including car-pilot Person, a Macedonian Nationalist and a hunting dog. "We take this city for the motherland!" As the Nationalist declares this, the hunting dog barks.

The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points

(I was trying to throw the grenades at the iron golem, not Elephant.... to late now though...)
Ah, you didn't specify. If it makes you feel better, Cinder would have probably been just as successful. Want to waitlist?
-
((Hello, again, Person! Let's just hope a Samurai doesn't kill you again.))
I look at the tank for only a few seconds, before grabbing Sir Lorne, and pulling him into any nearby building sturdy enough to withstand concussive tank shots. Once in there, both of us will look for something, anything, that can stop a tank in it's tracks...if there was a pun there, it was intended.
When H4zard offers to let us ride on the tank, slowly pop my head out the door and agree to the request with this dialogue:
"...Oh! Sorry. I just assumed, since you have a powerful tank of mass destruction and all. I accept, and so does Sir Maxwell Lorne over here. Where to?"
-
((I certainly do hope so. As an aside, I'm deeply amused just how often I seem to get handed world war 1 equipment in these sorts of games, especially considering I've been looking into its history lately.))
"For the motherland! However, before we begin our glorious revolution, we must find the lay of the land, observe its people. Only then can we see how best to make it become ours. We have waited long, and we can wait a few moments longer, for failure is no option."
Use my flying car to scout out the city from above. Have my loyalist make a map, whether physical or mental of the area. Try to build my own mental map while driving. As a secondary task, have them keep an eye out for combatants.
-
((I'm not long-winded, sir.
I prefer the term prolific.
Oh, and TCM, just how futuristic are my megaphones and binoculars? Like, could I say 'I want to activate super-duper X-ray mode' and you'd be like ''kay.' Or is it just a really good pair of binoculars/rangefinders?
Also, for now I'm ruling that I can't tell if one of my portals has been opened.
Have fun with intruding on the mid-point to an Aztec community that hates your guts, guys.))
Execute gives a wide smile at the Shaman's work, "Knew you had it in you!" and opens the portal to the magical charm, before glancing over at Yuri and Fallacy, giving a small laugh at the expense of Yuri while giving Fallacy a slightly bemused look, "Fallacy, I understand your attachment to your work, but you really need to work on curbing your artistic tendencies."
Hail the ship again, communicate that we mean no harm and are happy to let them pass, if they are in some way violent or possibly dangerous, request aid from the shaman, perhaps in calming them or hiding us, if this is not possible, open the portal to the nuclear silo and enter there, along with the others, and hunker down just inside.
Edit: Just before he reaches for his Megaphone, he shivers slightly, as if a wave of cold brushed past him.
"... Yuri, go back to the portal, I feel something is off, one of the portals destabilizing, perhaps? report back as fast as you can."
-
Lob a divine orb or two at the contestant-looking folks.

"Hello there, sorry for disturbing you"
If Greatness attacks, if the BT tank had a machine gun in it: Shoot at Greatness, otherwise simply crush her.
If she doesn't attack, offer her a ride on the tank.
To the City Center.

Run away from the fireball thing as fast as my legs can carry me. Ideally, start heading back over to Denmark. Search for horses along the way.

Try again to prey on the weakest person I can find. I'm doing them a mercy, really.

Your equipment does have special abilities, including X-Rays for your binoculars. Basically, within a sensible idea of what each of the items is made for, you can have them do whatever since your in-game avatar personally designed them.
I forgot to put it in, but your avatar sensed that something was wrong. It's not that he can tell the portal has been opened, but he does get a funny, internal feeling, like in real life when your intuition triggers and you know something is wrong, but not necessarily what.
-
Sail into Minnesota!

"Fallacy, I understand your attachment to your work, but you really need to work on curbing your artistic tendencies."
"Hmph."
If Execute opens the portal to the silo, Fallacy enters it with him and gets to work on painting a field covered in Devil Fruits.
If Execute does not open the portal to the silo, Fallacy works on improving the silo painting.
-
"Thanks for the save!"
Enter the portal.
-
"...Oh! Sorry. I just assumed, since you have a powerful tank of mass destruction and all. I accept, and so does Sir Maxwell Lorne over here. Where to?"
"Anywhere you want to, or do we look again anywhere else?"
-
"...Good question! Um...perhaps into the center of town? Where we can find some of those... what were they called?", Sir Lorne replying with, "Wiki Warriors, ma'am.", "Ah, yes, Wiki Warriors! Let's jump on, and ride!".
-
"Alright then!"

I have returned home from vacation. Expect a turn soon.

-
The turn is still in progress; To those of you wondering what's taking so long, a certain event happens in the next turn that's causing me to edit everyone's turn and make serious adjustments for the rest of the round, which will undoubtedly be very different from what we've seen so far.

*raises hand*
Is it a fireball apocalypse?
-
Maybe it's the Pathfinder portal? I can't think of anything else that would have such a major impact, though I'm obviously limited to looking at people's posted actions.
Execute mentioned something about a portal destabilizing; that could also be it. Still, I'm pretty sure it's the Pathfinder portal.

The destabilising portal thing is likely entirely false, my character doesn't know anything about how the portal to the mansion was opened by Thousand Bones, but he did get a *Feeling*, like the shiver down your spine, and since I'm a metagaming bastard my character is a bit paranoid after everything that's gone on, he's just sent Yuri to check it out, the portals might destabilise by themselves eventually, but I've never bothered to think about it and I bet TCM would just say "As long as it takes to not matter during the battle.".

Round 66: Cambio De Escenario
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark,_Wisconsin)
Weather Conditions: Light Rain
Time: Night
Dolosus, after burying a Soucouyant several feet into the ground and covering it with dirt like he was overseeing its Texas Funeral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_burial), sets off running back to Denmark. [Athleticism: 8+1] Thanks to his newfound NBA-player levels of speed and stamina, Dolosus is able to reach the town of origin in record time. Along the way, he looked for any nearby farms that could contain horses, but doesn't see a single equine on his return trip.
NAV shakes free of the blanket and goes after the weakest patients in the room to perform a Soucouyant coup de grace. [6 vs. 2] A nurse leaps in front of NAV and tries to beat the fireball away with a medical tray, but NAV ducks under the tray and slams into the nurse, knocking him on his back before he proceeds to a comatose patient. NAV latches directly onto her neck, easy prey...
Execute compliments the Shaman's artistic creation, "Knew you had it in you!" He reaches inside the painting and pulls out what looks like a necklace that comes together with a small green carving of a tree, made out of a smooth, unknown metal. (+Shaman Nature Charm) The Shaman smiles, "I'm glad you like it! It's nothing special, but as long as you wear it, you need not worry about being attacked or pestered by wild animals, in fact you'll find it easy to befriend them. And if you're in a tight situation, you can break it in your palm and it will unleash a spell and the Goddess of Nature will come to your aid in some form."
During this time, the American warship draws closer along the river and shouts over his megaphone, making sure they hear that his group means them no harm. The response is machine gun fire, not at them, but into the air, most likely to serve as a warning. Execute asks the Shaman if she can assist in pacifying the ship's crew or hiding them, "I'm afraid I can't do anything at this range, and even if they get close, I can't do anything to a boat of that size. I can't hide everyone here at once." Yuri considers his options, but not before he feels an ominous chill run through his body. He orders Yuri to run back into the mansion and to check on the status of the all of the portals, "Right away master!"
The warship draws nearer, and with it a hostile crew of armed soldiers. Execute orders everyone into the painting of the nuclear silo as a defensive measure. Execute goes first, followed by the Aztecs, then Fallacy (who snatches up all of the paintings supplies she was using) and the Shaman. They all come out into a totally different world, a coniferous forest darkened by the tall trees that block the sun, only allowing the rays to shine through in sparse areas. In the distance, a family of deer gnaw at the ground. The land mark, is of course, the towering nuclear silo in front of the party, which dwarfs the surrounding trees although it has clearly fallen into disuse, likely abandoned many decades before. The Shaman squats and runs her hand over a flower, "This world looks, sounds, even smells much more like my home."
Fallacy finds a flat, dry patch of grass and sets down a sheet of canvas paper. [Landscape Drawing: 8+2] Fallacy makes a field that is rich with the mystical Devil Fruit, odd plants the give their consumers powerful magical abilities at the cost of being permanently unable to swim.
Person responds to the Macedonian Loyalist,"For the motherland! However, before we begin our glorious revolution, we must find the lay of the land, observe its people. Only then can we see how best to make it become ours. We have waited long, and we can wait a few moments longer, for failure is no option." Person pilots the flying car from above the city of Denmark, telling his Loyalist to construct a map of the area while simultaneously noting each of the important structures, landmarks and roads in the area while also on the lookout for competition. Denmark appears to be badly damaged, with some parts of it still smoldering, leaving Person to speculate what had happened here before they had arrived. Surely this process in noting the various parts of Denmark will come to great use, right?
The hunting dog mirthfully barks.
Wipeout continues their sailing, onward to their destination of Minnesota. [Sailing: 7] Catching a good bit of wind, Wipeout hurries to the next major spot, Beaver Island. In the distance, she spots the coastline of Michigan to the East.
Greatness yanks Sir Lorne away from the street and into the nearest building, a family restaurant as she chastises him, explaining that he puts both of them in great danger when he hails a random tank on the street. The two of them then scour the restaurant for anything that would be useful in stopping a tank, but it's not like small restaurants had much equipped meant to fight back against military armored vehicles. Hazard, meanwhile, climbs out the top of the tank and apologizes for disturbing Greatness and her knight companion, and even offers them a lift. Flustered, Greatness explains herself, "...Oh! Sorry. I just assumed, since you have a powerful tank of mass destruction and all. I accept, and so does Sir Maxwell Lorne over here. Where to?" It is agreed upon that they will drive towards the center of Denmark, with Greatness joining Hazard and her Caribbean Soldier inside the tank; Sir Lorne, still skeptical of the massive metal beast, elects to follow it from the rear on horseback. And so they set off, respectively rolling and trotting down towards the main streets...
Hawk begins firing divine projectiles down the road towards Elephant Parade, Thousand Bones and Cinder's location. [8 vs. 5] A single orb makes a straight beeline for the trio, and while Cinder dodges it, Thousand Bones magically deflects the attack, and it lands on the ground close to Hawk, causing to fall over as he suffers from traumatic explosive injury that exacerbates his current wounds. "Damnit!" yells Thousand Bones; the Cleric looks around as orbs of divine energy strike at buildings, blowing them apart. In desperation, he picks up Elephant's bloodied body and runs for the portal.
Cinder escapes the wrath of Hawk and hides behind a car, falling out of sight of the mad saint. In the meantime, she looks around to see if Denmark is worth turning into an industrial powerhouse. Hmm, small buildings, rural landscape, ruined infrastructure, population of -3...it didn't look like this place was going to have a good shot. Wouldn't it be convenient if she just randomly ended up in another, more deserving city?
Thousand Bones leaps through the portal with Elephant Bones, rapidly losing blood and consciousness, still within his arms. The two of them land right in the Mansion, surrounded by an assortment of surprised Aztecs. "Please you people! We need help!" The Aztecs do not understand a word from the ancient Cleric and instead reach for their bows and spears. Thousand Bones spins around, looking for a way out but they are surrounded, even if he killed a score of these warriors with a single spell, both he and Elephant would be killed under a flurry of arrows from every direction. Finally, he looks back upon the portal, and recalls the spells of the Old Times, spells that were considered Arcane, even Forbidden. But he had no option, Elephant Parade was a Good person, and Thousand Bones had devoted the last centuries of his life to helping the Good triumph over Evil at any cost. Thousand Bones, with a sense of resolution, begins to shine with such intensity that it blinds the Aztecs, as if his body were a massive spotlight. "Elephant, promise me two things: That you will always strive to rid Evil in its every incarnation in every world, and second, that you forgive me for what I will do next. Gooodbye my friend." Thousand Bones charges at the portal, not so much running as flying at a speed that threatens to break the barrier of light. He connects with the portal faster than a bolt of lightning, with more impact than a nuclear bomb and then-
Every Wiki-Warrior's vision, (with the exception of Execute, Fallacy, and Twinwolf) goes completely bright, as if a high-intensity flashlight was being pointed straight at their eyes...
Elephant Parade comes to on a pile of sand. As his eyes adjust to his surroundings, he finds himself sitting on the shore of a beach, an ocean stretching out before him with the pungent smell of saltwater, the waters populated by a few fishing boats. Behind him are some buildings and to the North East, a massive lighthouse. Even more miraculous than this seemingly random teleportation was the fact that his almost deadly wounds were all healed, whatever the Shaman did seemed to work. That just left him to think, where the hell was he now?
Just as NAV is almost finished with sucking the life out of the I.C.U. patient, he is blinded and then finds himself back in human form, in his bellhop's uniform, holding all of his supplies on his person, with his weapons strapped to his sides and his blue-footed chicken clucking beneath him. Once again, he can feel the pulsating, burning sensation in his left hand, a testament to previous injury. He is standing in what appears to be a hospital floor that looks nothing like a contemporary American hospital. It is so bustling and busy that no one notices his sudden appearance; medical staff run back and forth with stretches and carts carrying patients. These didn't look like typical patients either, they were all in military uniform and suffering the worst of casualties, missing limbs and bleeding from all sorts of orifices.
Dolosus still stands in a rural area, but instead of the flat American plains, what he sees around him are rolling hills and valleys of lush farming vegetation, dominated by the occasional massive brick building that oversees several smaller buildings nearby similar in composition. The road's concrete has also been replaced by dirt. At least here he sees pastures containing horses, in addition to other livestock such as cattle and sheep.
Wipeout ends up in the same place she started, right off of Beaver Island. Although her location looks identical, looking towards Michigan she sees that the skyline is much shorter than it originally was, as if someone had taken down many of the tallest buildings and skyscrapers. In the waters, instead of seeing modern boats as she had grown use to, the ones she spots now are of much older models. Strange, she thought she was the only one in these waters with an antique ship.
Cinder is no longer taking cover behind a parked car, but a carriage. That's odd, but even more odd is that instead of Denmark being in front of her, she now sees a bustling city with crowded brick buildings with both people and horses going in every direction, without a car in sight; it was as if she were witnessing a historical reenactment. She could recognize, from the snippets of conversation from the people nearby, that she was somewhere where they spoke Spanish. It is at this time that the driver for the carriage comes back to his vehicle and sees Cinder sneakily crouched behind it, he offers her a concerned glance.
Hawk prepares another volley of explosive divines orbs when she suddenly finds herself in pitch black darkness. She lights up her surrounding area with her glowing scepter and finds that she is surrounded by crates that smell of old paper and alcohol. Approaching the crates, she discovers both Bibles (the title written as La Biblia) and containers of wine. She turns around and almost jumps as she encounters a life-sized portrayal of a Crucifixed Jesus, his face contorted in agony. As a woman of her nature, she instantly knew that she was in a Church basement.
Person catches himself gliding above some sort of rolling countryside filled with vineyards. The Macedonian remarks, "What the hell?" The hunting dog barks in a way most confused.
Greatness and Hazard, rather than rolling into the heart of Denmark, are rolling down a rural dirt road next to a series of small brick houses. A single man, guiding a herd of sheep down said road, notices their tank and excitedly runs up to the side of it. He shouts (in Spanish, which of course Greatness and Hazard can understand considering all Wiki-Warriors go into the competition equipped with a brain chip, which features the ability to understand and communicate fluently in any language of human origin) loud enough so that those inside can hear him, "Hello!? Who is in there? Are you mad driving that sort of tank here?! There's a damn Soviet emblem on the side, they'll kill you for that!" He is referencing the explicit large red stars on each of the sides of the BT Tank. Sir Lorne, unable to understand the sheep herder, offers him a enthusiastic wave, which the farmer returns with considerably less fervor.
Execute falls his knees with a state of sudden extreme nausea, as if he had just made the decision to down a gallon of vodka along with a foot-long chili hot dog. It's a much more intense feeling of what he had sensed before, and this time he intuitively knew that something was greatly off.
The portal between Denmark and the Spanish Mansion has vanished as a result of ancient, forbidden spell by Thousand Bones. The World of the Spanish Mansion is now the main and default world.
Central America/Age of Exploration - Aztecs.
Philippines/Spanish-American War - The Spanish and Americans are battling it out in a major colonial war taking place in the Philippine Islands.
Painting Supply Box World - World where boxes of painting supplies grow like plants, inhabited by tribal people. Being explored by Twinwolf, Jaguar Soldiers and Aztec Civilian.
Nuclear Silo World - World where all that has been found so far has been a forest and a large, abandoned nuclear silo. Being explored by Execute, 12 Jaguar Soldiers, 1 Aztec Civilian, Fallacy and a Shaman.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
Pretty major shift ain't it? With such a dramatic change, consider this something of a mini-reboot for the game.

Rain check on Yuri and the rest of my portals, are they all still open?

Rain check on Yuri and the rest of my portals, are they all still open?
I was intending to conclude it in the next turn, but sure, resolving it now won't give you a distinct advantage.
Execute, after a couple minutes have passed, spies Yuri racing back through the portal into the Nuclear Silo World. The Boyar stops in front of him, bending over and catching his breath. "My Lord...it's...um...I checked the portal to the Aztec's world, and it's going fine, they're still moving freely to and from it. But the portal back to Denmark, back to our world? It's gone without a trace. I looked to see if it had moved or changed places somehow but nothing, like it was never even there. What does this mean?"

((Aces, thanks.))
Execute starts to quirk his eyebrow in response to the shaman before falling to his knees as the world began to spin, he throws up before groggily standing up and seeing Yuri racing back, he merely stares at him, silently questioning him, when he answers, Execute's already disturbed face moves into terror.
"Oh no, oh no, if it's gone, we're cut off, but that doesn't work, you can't just erase a portal so thoroughly with people from higher realities in there, and since we're still here..."
He barely even finishes before his eyes widen and he quite nearly takes off, before stopping himself.
Just wait until the ship passes, meanwhile I open the portal to the Devil Fruits, allow Yuri or the Shaman *Yes Fallacy you can have one too* to have one if they want, but warn them of the effects, keep the Aztecs away from them for now, though, then if we still have enough painting materials, paint a couple new police pistols along with plenty of ammo magazines.

No, unlike everyone else I made an exception in your case and you're still right next to Beaver Island.

((Do I still have access to the RV Belgica?))
-
Well that's certainly an interesting development.
"What is this now? After all that work mapping the area, now we're somewhere else? Well, given the state that town was in, perhaps our Intel was wrong. This seems a better target, as we have come too far to go back unsuccessfull. Keep looking for warriors. We land the moment we find opposition."
Keep looking for warriors. Once we find opposition, prepare an ambush. Don't attack the tank, that'd be dumb.
-
((Do I still have access to the RV Belgica?))
Yes, everyone retained their equipment. My advice to you and anyone else looking for their ships is to check the nearest body of water.
-
meanwhile I open the portal to the Devil Fruits, allow Yuri or the Shaman to have one if they want
"None for me? Humph!"
Fallacy pouts. If Execute changes his mind, however, she'll be quite happy to grab and eat a Devil Fruit.

I freak out, looking at everything with utter shock. Soviet? What does that mean? I say, "So-so-SOVIET?! But, there is no... aw-, before reverting to French, speaking quickly, "Il n’y a pas d’Union soviétique plus ! Pourquoi est-ce qu’il a fait dire cela ? De quoi tu parles ? C’est fou, je ne peux pas croire cela!". I then try to figure out what's going on, waiting for an answer that satisfies me before I snap. While I get an explanation, I look around for landmarks, trying to see exactly what happened.
((...I might have used Google Translate for the French, but even if it isn't accurate, I tried. I imagine Copy-Pasting it into Google Translate'll do it.))

No, unlike everyone else I made an exception in your case and you're still right next to Beaver Island.
Oh, sweet.

I suppose I don't know IC that the other wiki-warriors are gone, so...
Look around for Thousand Bones. When If I can't find him, go back to Denmark.

((Sorry for not posting, but what's going on with my character again?))
A lot has happened, but the gist of it is that at Execute's request, you and some Aztecs have been sent into a portal to retrieve more painting supplies. The world you've ended up in is one with long plains with high grass, where crates containing painting supplies sprout from the ground as if they were plants, in varying sizes from boxes that would fit in your palm to large crates that would take two men to carry. Before you is a field of such crates, and just beyond it a group of tribal-looking people is staring at you and your group. How you proceed with this is up to you.
EDIT: I'd like to update this later today, (the 12th) or possibly the next. Just a heads up for those who haven't posted.
-
Grab a wounded person and bring them with me. Leave the hospital and search for water. Try to act like I know what I'm doing. If anyone questions me then recite war poetry.
-
Wait for them to make the first move.
-
"Hm, interesting. But presumably something that can't be explained more sufficiently than 'shenanigans'"
Continue to crouch sneakily until the carriage driver gets uncomfortable, then use my power from my kill to summon a pet lion. Then try to invent the racecar.

Looking for top wikipedia wars players or lurkers with writing editing ability. More details soon posted "here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=159981.new#new)". I need help!

I was delayed in my posting of the turn due to starting a new forum game, but so far I've managed to finish half of the next turn. Expect it tommorow.

Round 67: The Town By the Sea
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Early Afternoon
Wipeout looks at her surroundings to try and judge where she is. Well, she knows that's Beaver Island to her right, except it isn't Beaver Island upon closer inspection. Beaver Island was flat and moderately small, while this island is large and imposingly rocky. She can even spot some people walking on it, and Beaver didn't have a single soul when she last checked. She then glances to the right, expecting to see the Wisconsin shore-line, but instead she sees nothing but water and a few older ships in the distance, could she now be looking at the ocean? One of the ships she notices, a motorboat many times smaller than her own cargo ship, makes a turn and heads directly for her. As it pulls up to her port side, she notices that the men on board are all uniformed and wielding sub-machine guns, and there is a large machine gun in the center of the boat. One of these men yells in Spanish but with a heavy Italian accent, "This is a contested region and all commercial and personal ships are not allowed in these waters! What are you doing here and what is that strange flag?" He points to the Panamanian flag on the side of the Alba.
Hawk locates the stairs in the basement of the church and runs out onto the main level. She finds herself in a small but high-roofed building of worship, light shimmering through stained glass on the walls and a few people kneeling at pews while the marble, forever-tortured Christ groans in agony on a crucifix above the altar at the head of the church. Hawk runs out the front doors, and while a few heads turn to watch her, no one makes an effort to intervene. Outside, she sees a few parked cars and some tied horses while a cobblestone road leads down to a port city nearby, no sight of any Wiki-Warriors however.
NAV looks for an opportunity in this new chaotic hospital setting and spots an unattended soldier lying on a gurney. The soldier is bloodied but still breathing and barely conscious, and when NAV gets closer he sees the symbol of a bow and arrow atop a red and black flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_Francoism#/media/File:Bandera_FE_JONS.svg) embroinded on the soldier's shirt, a symbol shared by all of the other soldiers in the hospital. NAV takes control of the gurney and wheels it outside, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. [Stealth: 9] NAV gets outside without anyone giving him a second glance. Looking for a body of water, he spots a nearby large beach, though it is somewhat densely populated by people. The soldier stirs a little, but appears unable to speak.
Hazard orders her loyal Caribbean soldier to stop the tank, and he gets the war machine grinding to a halt in the middle of the dirt road.
Greatness begins to have a breakdown as she attempts to take in what the sheepherder had told them, reverting to French to rant about the impossibility of the Soviet Union existing despite it having been dissolved over twenty years from the modern day. Sir Lorne, grips her shoulder, "M'lady, panic will resolve nothing! How about you listen to what this man has to say, shall we? Then you could translate his Spanish words for me." He motions for the herder to come forward, as he had stepped away when Greatness went into her French tirade.
The man hesistently moves up to them, "You must not be from here if you do not grasp the situation. Franco has declared the Republic to be an illegitimate government and has amassed an army to overthrow the government. The Communists and Fascists have been fighting for over a year, and now other countries are getting involved, sending soldiers and arms: Germany, Italy, Portugal, England, Ireland, Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Soviet Union. It is fortunate that you came across me and not a Fascist soldier on patrol, or he would have raised an alarm. I do find it curious that neither of you know about the war, but have somehow managed to acquire a Soviet tank..." He gives Greatness and her Knight a suspicious glancing over.
The sheep baa~ continuously.
Meanwhile, in the Nuclear Silo World contained within the Spanish-American War World, Execute is having his own existential crisis. "Oh no, oh no, if it's gone, we're cut off, but that doesn't work, you can't just erase a portal so thoroughly with people from higher realities in there, and since we're still here..." Yuri attempts to comfort his master, who is encouraged to get back on track and he does so, by opening up the Devil Fruit World via portal and inviting Yuri and Shaman to enter in the Devil Fruit world if they are willing to risk the consequences, and includes Fallacy when she protests. The Shaman claims, "I would like to grow my powers and abilities naturally, and not consume some cursed fruit." Yuri, the least supernatural person in the group, agrees to go in, "If it allows me to serve and protect you better Execute, I shall do it." Fallacy accepts as well.
The two of them enter the portal and find themselves in the field where the strange fruit crops up all over the place. Yuri kneels down and picks up a long, grey fruit, and begins chomping down on it, before falling to his knees, "God, that tastes awful!" As he wipes bits of fruit away from his mouth, a metallic blade extends out of his forearm. "That's new." (+Ability: Body-Metal Manipulation)
Fallacy snatches up a pear-like fruit and eats it, then has convulsions. When she recovers, she can see a new path that leads to Yuri, one that had always existed but has become de-invisible to her. Yuri looks at her, "What are you staring at?" (+Ability: Genetic Tracking)
Back in the Nuclear Silo world, Execute pokes his head out of the portal to check if the American Warship has passed, and sure enough it has gone past their previous rendezvous site without expecting anything. He heads back to the abandoned silo and takes some of Fallacy's leftover painting supplies to draw some new police pistols. [Drawing: 1] After making an adequate painting of two police pistols, Execute opens up a small portal and reaches inside. As he pulls one of them out, he is surprised as a gloved hand grabs his forearm and squeezes it tightly. "LET GO OF THE GUN CIVVIE', YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW!" A loud, masculine voice barks at him from within the portal.
Dolosus enters into this new world with a complaint, "Reality man, can't ever decide what it wants to be." Dolosus tries to figure out where he is located, but beyond 'some rural place', can't come up with an answer with this lack of information and context. He looks to one of the massive buildings in the nearby area and walks towards it, the dirt road turning paved once he passes a fence. In the field, he can see men and women alike hard at tilling and watering the Earth, as well as spreading seeds. As he approaches the grand manorial house, he is stopped by a massive wooden door. Additionally, he alerts three men who come out into the balcony overseeing the front of the grand home, dressed like farmers in work clothes and hats, and armed with rifles. One of them calls out to him in Spanish, "You don't look like a Fascist in those clothes! In fact, I've never seen a stranger looking fellow!" He and his friends chuckle. "Who are you, comrade?"
Twinwolf stays back with the Aztecs and lets the tribespeople make the first move. They approach slowly, low to the ground and holding their weapons. The Aztecs begin to raise their own arms, but Twin discourages them from taking hostilities. Once they are in speaking distance, one of the tribespeople calls to Twinwolf, "You seek to take our crops, do you not?" His accent is indeterminable in origin and sounds like nothing Twin had ever heard before. "So you may, as long one of your men can best one of our men in a contest, so goes tradition. If you lose, you must leave our lands at once."
Elephant Parade, in a haze of confusion, looks for Thousand Bones but sees no trace of the old man. He calls out and gets no response besides some curious stares from other people at the beach. Had Thousand Bones simply abandoned him here? Without Thousand Bones, he might as well try to get back to Denmark, except he doesn't see the portal, or any portal for that matter, nearby. As he looks around aimlessly, a beach-goer, specifically a well-built mustachioed man wearing a short, and I mean short pair of swimming trunts approaches him. "Good sir! You seem lost, may I assist you? Call me Senor Bajista." He offers Elephant a large, hairy hand.
Cinder rubs her non-existent beard, "Hm, interesting. But presumably something that can't be explained more sufficiently than 'shenanigans'." When she becomes aware of the carriage driver, Cinder continues to crouch and stares straight into his eyes like some sort of squatting Slav that is trying to devour your soul with his mind. The driver loses this battle of 'wits' quickly and begins to drive away, leaving Cinder victoriously squatting on the edge of the sidewalk like some sort of deranged woman. Speaking of being a deranged woman, Cinder utilizes her newfound powers, causing an adult male lion to run out of the bushes nearby. He treads up to her and nuzzles her gently, while the citizens in the area either flee or watch dumbfoundly. Once she gives Mr. Lion a good petting, it's off to inventing the race car! Walking down the street with her pet, Cinder nearly snaps her neck as she spots something that might just ruin her plan. Parked in an alleyway, she sees a sleek car with the number '49' printed on its side. Approaching it further, it is in fact a race car! An older model, but a race car nonetheless. Damnit, someone had foiled her plans by inventing it before her schedule!
Person reacts to his new situation, "What is this now? After all that work mapping the area, now we're somewhere else? Well, given the state that town was in, perhaps our Intel was wrong. This seems a better target, as we have come too far to go back unsuccessful. Keep looking for warriors. We land the moment we find opposition." He flies the car around the countryside, looking for worthy foes while the peasants who spot him drop what they are doing to look up in awe, pointing at the car as if they had just found Atlantis. [Hunting: 10] The search leads to Person and his crew spotting Hawk exiting a church without the holy-woman being aware of their presence as the hide behind the church's bell tower. The plan for an ambush is set in motion as the Macedonian suggests, "You could pull up right next to her and I'll fire my pistol's entire clip at her. If that doesn't finish her off, we land and you attack her in tandem with the dog."

I retroactively decided to cancel the Quest and move Wipeout closer to where everyone else is. It came as the result of figuring that giving one player such a large advantage to a Quest as a result of something outside of any player's control was unfair. There will be a new Quest shortly.
-
I tell Sir Lorne what happened and what the Farmer said, before turning to the Farmer, patience growing thin as I grab the back of his head to pull him close. I then say, "Sir, I am becoming quite short with you, so I will ask only a couple of questions, and if I don't like the answer, you won't like mine. First, what year is it, and where are we?"
-
"Yes, perhaps I am overthinking this. She seems relatively unarmed, though I could be wrong."
Attack as he suggests. If I have to get out of the car and join the attack, try to take the keys with me so she can't hijack my sweet ride.
-
((...
I'm getting the feeling that this situation is starting to spiral out of my understanding again.))
Execute/Dumbo seemed rather put off by this man, he was already confused, tired, in pain, and very, very frustrated, and he had had just about enough, pulling himself up to his full height, he roars at the policeman "I AM NOT SOME CIVILIAN, SIR, I AM EXECUTE/DUMBO.EXE AND I AM ROYALTY, REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM MY PERSON OR I SHALL BE FORCED TO RESPOND."
Try to intimidate him into letting go, if that doesn't work, just let him take the gun, push the hand in, then close the portal to the world, actually, either way close the portal as soon as possible.
After that situation has been finished, glance outside the portal to see if the boat has passed, hopefully they haven't decided to investigate, question Yuri on the limits of his new ability, too.
-
Attempt to explain myself, saying that I am lost. If they cannot understand me, use exaggerated hand gestures to get the point across.
-
"NOOOOO!!! I can't think of any way to abuse my ability! And if I try to get another... I'll be rather dead..."
Fallacy is a tad bit irritated.
"If you're wondering... some sort of... path, to you."
Fallacy seems to calm, then does two things: looking around the area, and then making use of the folds in her judges' robes to gather up a few more Devil Fruits, before promptly taking them back to Execute.

I'd like to announce my officiazation and endorsement for Roseheart's Wiki Wars: The E-Book project. The end goal of the project is to produce an E-Book chronicling the events of the first game of Wiki-Wars that appeared in this thread in a fictionalized format. If you are interested, you can check it out here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=159981.msg7132772#msg7132772)

Continue looking for people to smite.

Hopefully my Internet connection will not falter any longer. In the meantime, Immaterial posed a question about Secret PM'd actions. While they aren't in the game at the moment, they are something that could be implemented. What do y'all think? If it seems like an interesting idea to enough people we could discuss working secret actions into the next game.
I'm curious, did this ever get implemented? Why or why not?
-
Do my best to act like a confused traveller, and start using a funny-sounding accent. " 'Ello, Mr. D is who I is, I travel through land this. I horse look for buy to yes. Do tell please me what mean you fascist by?"
-
Look around.
-
I think you should kind of do a hybrid of what you had in the first game and what I believe you are doing now. Right now I believe you are kind of leading up to a boss battle and people keep coming in and so forth until someone gets powerful enough. An interesting hybrid would be that it's 10 people and It All Leads up to 1 finishing person, then they are a boss against 9 players. Also these would be labeled as individual games and so there would be survival rounds and boss fight rounds.
-
Curses! Take revenge by stealing it, assuming Mr. Lion can fit in.
-
I haven't forgotten about this game, just busy with many other responsibilities and projects. Expect the next update within 48 hours.
UPDATE: The next turn has been postponed due to interment weather. Will resume once Hermine blows over assuming my power supply is intact.

Round 68: Meeting the Factions
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Early Afternoon
Hazard looks around in the surrounding area. There are flat plains that stretch out for miles before turning into dynamic rolling hills and descending valleys. The flat plains are flooded with farmland and crops, fenced pastures that contain orchards of olives and tomatoes, and livestock like cattle, pigs, and sheep, a herd of which now scour around the tank. On these farmlands are houses of varying size, one in particular is grand, like a mansion among these modest stone homesteads.
A frustrated Greatness informs Sir Lorne of what the sheep herder said, and the knight responds, "That is curious, there has been no such Soviet Union for many years. If this man is telling the truth, we are caught in the middle of some great civil war." Greatness confronts the herder and speaks in Spanish, "Sir, I am becoming quite short with you, so I will ask only a couple of questions, and if I don't like the answer, you won't like mine. First, what year is it, and where are we?" The goat herder takes a deep breath, "You are in A Coruna, Spain. It is the year 1937. Does that make you happy? I want to ask a question in return, how did you obtain that tank? Is it stolen? Or are you Soviet spies? If you are spies, you are doing an awful job."
Hawk searches for available and appropriate targets for the purpose of smiting. [Perception: 6] Looking around, the priest figure sees only regular people, who are pretty smitable but "purifying" them does nothing in the way of gaining points and new powers. What is an interesting sight however, is when she spots the flying car that appears from behind a church swerve around its steeple and dives for her location. Hawk has to both move and shoot, and so she fires an inaccurate holy ball to try and divert Person while she runs for cover, [6-2(Run & Gun) vs. 1] and the divine attack hits the left wing of the car, somewhat damaging it and setting it on fire.
Dolosus does his best vague and generic accent that he can muster up, " 'Ello, Mr. D is who I is, I travel through land this. I horse look for buy to yes. Do tell please me what mean you fascist by?" The armed men try to stifle their laughter while the speaking one puts on a huge grin as he answers, "Fascism, comrade, is a diseased mockery of ideology. The rich and powerful think that they can take the means of production away from the proletariat by overthrowing this country. But we shall not let them, we will give our lives in stopping their coup and we will drive them into the ocean or into their graves!" He leans over the edge of the roof, to get a better look at the odd "Mr. D". "You want a horse? Well, you will not have to spend any money to acquire one. We will provide you with a horse and more, if you join our cause. You will get a horse, weapons, tools, food and protection for your family if you promise to take up arms against the Fascists!"
Person carries out the strategy laid out by his companion, though what he does not expect is that while Hawk appears unarmed, she conjures up a magical attack that smashes into the left wing of his vehicle, causing the apparatus to shudder. [Flying: 1] Person does his best to recover, but he now severely regrets skipping out on "Flying Lessons" that one semester in college and instead taking "Theories of Futurism in the Americas", a fascinating course but one that was a lot less applicable in the current situation. The plane careens to the right and smashes into tree. [4] Person is thrust forward by the impact of the crash and his right arm takes the brunt of the damage, slamming against the steering wheel, and feeling rather numb and bent. The Macedonian, besides some cuts and bruises, appears to be fine, and the hunting dog is uninjured if a little shaken and stunned. "For the motherland!" The Macedonian cries this out as a battle charge throws open the passenger side door and slides over the hood of the car, simultaneously drawing his WWI Pistol. He lands on the other side and takes aim at Hawk, [7 vs. 6] firing three shots at her as she runs for cover behind the church. One bullet grazes her left shoulder and does superficial damage, but she is otherwise unharmed.
Cinder lays down a mental curse with her mind on the bastard that had developed the racing car before she had the chance to come out with it first. However this person was, they must of had creativity and logistics and the ability to implement their ideas, but Cinder was from the future, which is infinitely cooler. As Edison had done with Tesla, if you can't invent it, just steal it! In this case literally, as Cinder hops inside (easily, due to the lack of a closed roof) and starts fiddling with the ancient controls. [Grand Theft Auto'ing: Auto-Success] A-ha! This anonymous inventor may have created the racing car, but in his arrogant foolishness he forgot to invent car keys. Just by pulling a crank, Cinder is able to get the engine roaring. It's a bit of a tight squeeze in a one-seat vehicle with the hefty Mr. Lion, but the two manage to fit in their snazzy new ride. [+30's Racing Car]
"NOOOOO!!! I can't think of any way to abuse my ability! And if I try to get another... I'll be rather dead..." Fallacy is rather peeved at getting what she feels in an underwhelming Devil Fruit Power, especially with Yuri now able to turn his body into metal. She doesn't take the risk of eating a second Devil Fruit, knowing that having second helpings of the mystical food usually resulted in painful death. She responds to Yuri's inquiry at why she's staring at him strangely, "If you're wondering... some sort of... path, to you." Yuri bends down and grabs armfuls of various fruit on the ground and stuffs them into the folds of her judges' robe. The two of them head back into the portal to the Nuclear Silo World, running over to show off their new abilities and loot to Execute, who appears to be tied up.
Execute screams at the cop in the portal who is clinging to his forearm, "I AM NOT SOME CIVILIAN, SIR, I AM EXECUTE/DUMBO.EXE AND I AM ROYALTY, REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM MY PERSON OR I SHALL BE FORCED TO RESPOND." When this fails to intimidate the policeman, Execute forfeits the gun and lets it drop back into the portal, and his would-be captor removes his hand to retrieve the fallen gun. Immediately, Execute closes the portal, deciding that "Police Gun World" was a universe that was more trouble than it was worth dealing with.
Execute runs back to the portal to see if the American Gunboat back in the Philippines has passed and indeed, it has no moved down the river passed the portal, missing it in their search of the Shaman.
Execute asks Yuri about the extents of his new powers. "I can make parts of my body metal, but not the whole thing," he says, demonstrating by turning his entire left arm into a steel-like material.
Wipeout explains to the soldiers that she is lost and wandered into the forbidden zone by mistake. The officer barks at her in an irritated tone, "Do not sail here, turn around and head back! But first, you must explain what that flag is!" He says, continuing to gesture to the Panamanian flag on Wipeout's ship. "What does that mean? What faction does that flag ally itself with? The Republicans? Fascists? Anarchists?"
New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.

((Hmm, this is a nice quest/set up! Maybe someone will try to get the war down historically accurate, but then again...nah.))
Greatness chuckles a bit, her voice wavering as though the breath she drew was colder then ice. "Okay, then. A couple of things. First, to my allies. Why are we here in the 1930s instead of 2016?", she said as she turned her back to the farmer. Turning her attention back to the man, she continues. "Now, now. Let us explain. We aren't Soviet. We aren't spies. I'm pretty sure none of us are communist. And this tank is ours."
"Now, your answer seems to be correct...", before she pulls her crossbow out and points it at the Farmer's head. "But, I don't like it. Things are adding up and not adding up, and it's making me lose my temper. Keep talking, and if you dare yell out, or get us in trouble, or just make me more temperamental then I am now, well..."
Pretty self-explanatory. Keep the Farmer talking about what's going on. If he sees me as hostile and either attacks or yells for any kind of guard, shoot him. If he complies, thank him politely in French, holster the Crossbow, and leave to any bigger towns I can see.
-
((Alright, I think that's enough hiding away for now.
Well, not really, but at least I can get back to home base.))
"Fallacy, look on the bright side, now you can stop people from escaping, that's gotta be worth something, right?
*Snrk*
ANYWAY, Yuri, grab that policeman world painting and the Devil Fruit world painting, be careful not to rip them, I'll grab the painting box world painting, Fallacy, you and the Shaman should come with us, I'll be closing the portal to this world once we leave."
You heard him, once the nuclear silo world portal has been closed, bring that along too, I'm trusting Fallacy to be taking the nessecary painting supplies, then get back to the mansion.
Once there, talk to some Aztecs and tell them to begin fortifying the area around the mansion, barricades, spike traps, everything they can think of, if they need spare materials, get one of them to paint a vista with said materials, and have them hook up the paintings we brought with us in the art room, feel free to discard of any needless paintings.
Oh, and get them to paint a scene of some more medical supplies, if they can, I think we'll be needing them.
((Is there anything I'm forgetting?))
-
Well, things couldn't have gone much worse for me, considering. But hey, a broken arm isn't all that bad for having been in a car crash. Silver lining.
Get out and start shooting hawk. The dog should chase and harry them into a more dangerous position. The loyalist should flank if able.
-
"Sure... but it doesn't come with supernatural running ability... though I wonder..."
Fallacy pauses in thought.
"Kay then, let's go."
Fallacy takes what painting supplies she has with her with her, plus the silo painting. If she can't comfortably carry them, she has the Jaguar Soldiers lighten the load. Once that's done with, she heads with Execute, bringing the Shaman with her.
-
Grab some cover if I haven't yet and 'purify' Person's group. Prioritize Person, then the Macedonian. Ignore the dog for now.
-
"Umm...the fascists?"
State to the officers exactly that, and if they react badly, run for it.
-
Stop using my fake accent. "Okay, here's the truth now. I'm here because I'm looking for some very dangerous men. The reason I was acting really strange just now because I wanted to see what would happen." Give the men a dry smile. "Now, your offer is very kind. I'll join your cause with only one extra condition. If you happen to find out about anyone in the surrounding area who is oddly dressed, somewhat like myself, tell me. If you can do that, I'll join your cause. Do we have a deal?"
-
I'm too busy with college to keep up with this so please drop me out and let the next person in.
It's a great game and players. Thanks for the fun times.

Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Early Afternoon
"Fallacy, look on the bright side, now you can stop people from escaping, that's gotta be worth something, right?" Execute attempts to make his underling's situation sound more desirable than it is. She responds, "Sure... but it doesn't come with supernatural running ability... though I wonder..."
The God is quick to interrupt her, "ANYWAY, Yuri, grab that policeman world painting and the Devil Fruit world painting, be careful not to rip them, I'll grab the painting box world painting, Fallacy, you and the Shaman should come with us, I'll be closing the portal to this world once we leave." Yuri complies and wraps up the Police-Gun World Painting, careful not to allow any of its contents to forcibly escape, and stuffs it under his arm along with the Devil Fruit World Painting. Fallacy picks up the leftover painting supplies in the area; (+Painting Supplies)"Kay then, let's go."
All of them exit from the Nuclear Silo World, (which is also wrapped up and carried away by Yuri) and making sure that the American Gunship has not spotted them, flee back into the hub world of Civil War Spain, one merely a portal route that has become the main forefront of the Wikipedia Wars competition thanks to magical shenanigans.
Execute, returning to his flock of Aztecs, rallies them all and explains the next course of action. They are to turn this mansion into a fortress with "barricades, spike traps," and the like, to repel invaders. He orders the most talented artists among them to take painting supplies and create works of art that would contain appropriate tools and structures relevant to the plan. [Fortification: 2] Efforts to fortify the mansion go poorly, as the Aztecs are unfamiliar with the architecture and materials used in the modern building. This culminates with attempted modifications to the ballroom ending with a partially collapsed roof, a broken chandelier and six incapacitated Aztecs.
Art: 5+1(Skilled Artists)] The handful of Aztecs with artistic experience begin creating their work on a large piece of canvas. They forsake brushes for the use of their hands to make broad strokes of color and shapes. Their finalized vision is a forest of plentiful raw materials, such as hardy trees for lumber and great mounds of volcanic rock to turn into obsidian. They name this painting "The Forest of Abundance". [Art: 8+1] Satisfied with this painting, Execute commissions one for medicinal purposes, but instead of drawing potions and herbs as he might expect, the artists produce the drawing of a humanoid-bird figure in royal Aztec garb, standing upon the top of a mountain. They refer to this being as "Tukeolli: The Jade Turkey" and proclaim him as the God of Disease and Injury. The artists claim that if Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal could make some sort of arrangement with Tukeolli, they would be spared from Disease and Injury, thus making medicine irrelevant.
All of the other paintings are hung on empty spaces in the Art Room, except for the Police Gun World painting. When the Aztecs tried to unfurl that painting, numerous guns sprung out of it and begin firing in all directions, leading to it being rolled back up and untouched further.
A group of Aztecs run to their leader clamoring with distressing excitement: strange metal beasts and strange looking men have been spotted on the horizon, heading straight for the mansion!
Greatness continues with her interrogation, while simultaneously bringing up her Crossbow to be used as needed. Just as she begins to ask further question and make demands, a great force accompanied by a loud metallic sound knocks her off balances and causes her to drop her weapon, while Sir Lorne falls from his horse. The peasant cries out, "Mierda, mortars!" His flock begins to chaotically disperse with bleeting sheep nervously moving in every direction as the herder leaps over a nearby fence and commences sprinting down a field. Greatness recovers her Crossbow and stance and observes the scope of damage: Sir Lorne and herself are untouched, but Hazard's tank has been obliterated, little more than a pile of burning scrap metal and ash. Sir Lorne speaks up, nervousness apparent in his otherwise firm voice, "M'lady! Shall we leave before there are more explosions?"
H4zardZ1 was neutralized in a mortar strike.
"Umm...the fascists?" Wipeout acts coyly in response to the questioning of the Officer. He sizes her up for a moment, hands on his hips, "Why yes, the Fascists. No listen woman, you are to turn around immediately and stay within protected waters. It would be best for you to dock your ship and head home, you wouldn't want to be the victim of a Communist torpedo strike, would you?"
Person gets out of the wrecked Flying Car, shoving the door open with his good arm, and chases after Hawk along with the Macedonian Nationalist and the Hunting Dog. [Agility: 8 vs. 2/5/2] Hawk hauls ass rather impressively in her robes and sandals, garments not made with athletic functionality in mind. Person and the Dog, still shaken by the effects of the crash, lose line-of-sight with Hawk, though the fervent Macedonian is able to keep a steady pace behind her. As the priestess runs away from the squad, the Macedonian takes his one opportunity to fire at her. [6-1(Longer Ranged Shot) vs. 1] A single bullet catches Hawk in the left side of the skull, though it is not a true headshot, though it does open up a significant wound. Person lets out a cry and falls over onto her face as the Macedonian continues to shoot at her, trying to finish her off. Under fire, she grabs her staff and turns around while her attacker is busy reloading his pistol.
Before he can fire at her, Hawk raises her Scepter of Smiting and fires a divine bolt at the Macedonian. [7 vs. 10] The revolutionary dives to the side as a quick pulse of holy power slams into the side of the church with the force of a lightning bolt, blasting chunks of bricks out from its foundation. [9 vs. 3] The Macedonian lunges his gun hand at her and fires twice, striking Hawk once in the chest. The prophet coughs up some blood and realizes that it is time to find some solid cover. [1] Spotting a section of trees nearby, Hawk races for natural protection but is betrayed by nature when she trips over a root, causing her to fall over. She recovers quickly but discovers that she's dropped her Smiting Scepter into a bush and lost sight of it. Meanwhile, Person and the Hunting Dog rejoin the Macedonian in the fight.
NAV wheels the wounded soldier over to the beach before stopping the cart and deciding that he could use a nice break from all the fighting. He sheds his human flesh and turns into a Soucouyant, which flies out into the ocean to enjoy some nice waves. As he is peacefully floating above the tranquil waters, when he is suddenly gripped in the pincers of a Giant Spanish Crab, one of the Soucouyant's natural predators, and quickly devoured. Damn, if only he would have remembered.
NAV fell victim to the food chain.
Beirus flies in on his B-17 Flying Fortress, an iconic bomber of WWII, in the search of victory, and coal. He hovers over the Spanish countryside menacingly. He does spot a plume of smoke coming from one of the roads.
MidnightJaguar appears inconspicuously in the Spanish town, already sensing the presence of those freed from their mortal coil who still lingers. Her companion, a nationalist for an ethnic group of Indians, appears fairly nervous, perhaps due to the fact that there are soldiers patrolling the street, and he has an assault rifle stowed away in an innocent-looking suitcase. "What's our first move boss?"

New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.
Since this took longer than expected to come out, I plan for the next turn to appear Wednesday Night.
I've added a small feature for bleeding, where a number is affixed to any blood-loss conditions indicating how long the effect has been going on for.
-
Stop spacing out and go crab-fishing with Mr. Lion
-
Looks like I'm gonna die soon. Try to call on the staff's holy powers to shield me from my enemies and heal myself.
-
Dock ship, run off. A market?
-
((Deary me, too many things, too little time, I have a skillset practically made for most of the problems I have here, but I can only do one thing at a time, deary me...))
Alright, first off, open the painting of the material-filled forest, and send in civilian workers (Backed by some warriors in case of trouble) to gather materials they think would be useful, while instead of having the aztecs screw up more and destroy the mansion in it's entirety, Execute will lead the fortifying attempts this time, hopefully using his engineering capabilities to give a bonus to the roll, keep the majority of fortifications somewhat inconspicuous, however
Meanwhile, question the Shaman about the odds that she could potentially make a deal with that god somehow, or perhaps what it would request in exchange.
Oh, and send out a couple aztecs along with the policeman world painting, on orders to get far enough away from the mansion that the policemen would focus on something else closer to them, then to unleash the painting, and run like hell back to the mansion.
Yuri is going to help prepare the warrior aztecs, scope out the area around the mansion and such, if Execute has time (Hey, I'm only directing the fortifications, not doing them) he'll try and use his bonus to military strategy to help.
Fallacy... He can do whatever, I'm allowing him to order other Aztecs to help him out and as long as Execute isn't too busy, it can be assumed he'll open up most painting Fallacy needs him to.
-
Mind Read some of the soldiers, find out what their orders are and if they would be willing to aid in our cause.
our first move will be to figure out what the exactly these soldiers are here for. Now keep it down while I break opens this guys mind
-
"Alright then... let's get to it!"
Fallacy gets Execute to open the Devil Fruit world, then gathers up some of the Devil Fruits. She then passes them out to any curious Aztecs, making sure to tell them that eating one will remove the ability to swim and eating more than one will be lethal, in addition to the "super powers" pitch.
Afterwards, Fallacy attempts to discover if her physical limitations have been set to that of the world of One Piece by doing 20 push-ups.
-
((TCM, you skipped my action. Just so you know.))
-
((TCM, you skipped my action. Just so you know.))
I did. I'll make sure to amend that later today.
-
Keep chasing and firing.

Look for anything interesting from the air.

"Je mais vu-hell yes!"
Run away from the wreckage of the tank, but not before firing my crossbow into the Farmer's head. No witnesses of Time Travel, after all.

I apologize for the delay of this turn. I'll work on it first thing tomorrow morning.

Round 70: Gun Safety
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Afternoon
Dolosus drops the fake accent to reveal his real case to the fighters, "Okay, here's the truth now. I'm here because I'm looking for some very dangerous men. The reason I was acting really strange just now because I wanted to see what would happen." He smiles at them, and their collective reaction is deadpan. "Now, your offer is very kind. I'll join your cause with only one extra condition. If you happen to find out about anyone in the surrounding area who is oddly dressed, somewhat like myself, tell me. If you can do that, I'll join your cause. Do we have a deal?" The leader paces atop the rampart for a few moments, not looking directly at Dolosus. "I do not appreciate your deception; deception is a tool of espionage and infiltration. There is no need to hide your identity here. Still, your reason for having a facade makes partial sense." He stops moving and turns to look Dolosus straight in the eye, "If you promise to remain honest with us from now on, we will let you join our ranks." He barks into the courtyard of the manor, "Open the doors up, rapido!"
The large doors in front of Dolosus open up to reveal a courtyard full of people (not just men, women and children as well, entire families by the look of it) and animals moving about, hoisting bags and crates to and fro. A number of flags are held up along the walls of the courtyard in ways that they are not visible from outside the manor. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Flag_of_the_Second_Spanish_Republic_(plain).svg/175px-Flag_of_the_Second_Spanish_Republic_(plain).svg.png) An armed teenager approaches Dolosus, "Hello. My name is Fernando, Commander Comrade Rodriguez, who you were talking to before, has instructed me to accompany and assist you. He would like you to have this as a welcoming gift." He presents Dolosus with a Soviet Rifle. [+Mosin-Nagant M1891, +Ally: Youthful Republican Partisan]
[I apologize for causing you to effectively miss a turn. Hopefully gaining a rifle and an armed ally offsets any disadvantage you received.]
Wipeout heads the warnings of the Fascist soldiers, and after they head back to their own gunship and sail off, she turns her cargo ship around and goes to the port of A Coruna. She ties the boat to the dock around a section of other civilian vessels, then steps off herself and makes her way to the center of the city. She's given some strange looks due to her modern athletic apparel, but otherwise travels unmolested. In the center is something between a marketplace and a commercial district, with a mixture of both traditional stalls and industrialized stores, a testament to a city in the flux between an old and new society. This is also reflected on the goods being offered, with fresh food items, and handmade clothing and crafts in the stalls while the stores contain baked goods, mass produced shoes and farming equipment. Among the fairly sparse group of people in this area are a group of four armed men patrolling, in uniforms similar but not identical to the soldiers Wipeout had met on the high seas.
Execute gets set on dealing with the current situation, with new guests set to arrive. The first order of business is opening up a portal to the newly drawn Forest of Abundance. Execute creates a swirling green portal for the forest and sends in the civilian Aztecs to gather material. As they move through the portal with their new task, Execute personally puts himself in charge of the mansion's fortification, putting his engineering skills to the test.
[Fortification: 2+2(Engineering)] The good news is that this time the Aztecs don't break anything. The downside is that Execute was going for "inconspicuous and effective", and has to spend valuable time explain to the Aztecs that putting giant spikes at the front of the mansion doesn't exactly intimidate soldiers with tanks, nor does splattering the front of the mansion with "battle colors that make the house look like a ferocious beast", when in Execute's opinion it resembles more closely something like a hastily made student art project culminating in splashing bright colors on the building's exterior.
Execute orders a squadron of Aztecs to perform a special operation: They are to take the Police Gun World painting and open it up, far away from the mansion and let its contents out, into the surrounding area. [Strategic Placement: 4] The Aztecs disappear for a few minutes and return, panting as if they had just exerted a lot of energy. They tell Execute that they went over to the forested area nearby to open the painting, and fled when the gunfire began. In fact, if Execute listens carefully over the sounds of Aztec at work, he can hear the popping noise signature of semi-automatic firearms in the distance.
Finally he orders Yuri to prepare the soldiers to get into combat position while he looks for important sections of the mansion in the context of a battle. [Military Planning: 7+2] First of all, the pillars at the front of the mansion will make for good cover, though they will be the closest to enemies coming from that direction. The rooms themselves are quite open and not optimized for defense, though to get upstairs you have to go up spiral staircases, which are historically defensible positions and can create chokepoints that put attackers at a disadvantage. Finally there is the roof, which has a parapet wall that can be used as a cover. Barricading would certainly be a good idea, but there's little time, and additionally there seems to be little that could be done to defend against a barrage of tank and artillery fire.
Execute allows Fallacy to do as she wishes; "Alright then... let's get to it!" Fallacy stands before the Aztecs in the grand foyer/main entryroom of the mansion and announces that she is open to volunteers to try Devil Fruit, of which she holds an armful that she has gathered from the appropriate world. She notes that while they will give the eater superpowers, they would take away the ability to swim and eating more than one would be most definitely lethal. Most of the Aztec shy away from the offer, claiming that powers and responsibilities were associated with gods and curses, something they could do without, although a few brave and curious souls step up. This creates the following results:
1 turns into a cyborg.
1 crackles with electricity and gains feline features like cat ears and a tail.
1 feels compelled to be near animals and gets uncomfortably close to the neko-Aztec.
1 gains red eyes, fair skin and a pentagram appears on his bare chest. He claims to now be a demon.
Lastly, 1 feels drawn to the essence of freshwater.
Fallacy tests if her physical limitations have been altered as per the rules of the world she used as inspiration for the Devil Fruit Portrait and performs 20 pushups, which she is able to complete with a decent amount of effort.
By this point, the incoming soldiers have arrived on the front lawn, and Yuri yells out for battle positions, with spearmen stationed at the front of the house while archers take to the roof and all major areas of the mansion are filled with hundreds of soldiers at the ready. Yuri looks at what he is up against: At least one hundred soldiers armed with rifles and sub-machine guns, four jeeps and a single tank at the forefront, its barrel currently not aimed directly at the mansion. They stop advancing just outside of range, where a single official looking soldier with a hat steps out of a jeep, armed with a non-electric megaphone. He speaks into it, "This is Captain Jose, commander of the 14th Galician Company! We have come for requisition of this property as a military institution! Are you the owners of this property?" He puts down the megaphone to look at the mansion and all the Aztec inside of it. "No! You are definitely not! Who are you people? Anarchists?!" The Captain's question is cut off as the sound of a large amount of semi-automatic and automatic gunfire blasts in from the forest. "What the hell is that?"
Person and company begin a coordinated attack on Hawk, beginning with Person himself who attempts to steady his rifle with a broken arm and aim it at Hawk. [1-2(Broken Arm) vs. 8] Putting the rifle in shooting position puts Person in a lot of pain and he voluntarily drops the rifle, which goes off as it hits the ground [1] and discharges a single round which flies straight into the bottom of Person's chin and exits through the top of his skull. He drops backwards to the ground, instantaneously unconscious. [Saving/Constitution Roll (Successful if X>5): 5] The wound would be the last one Person would ever received.
The Macedonian Nationalist is re-aiming at Hawk when he hears Person fall to the ground. He turns around and drops his gun, putting his hands to his head and screaming, "NOOOOO!" He panics briefly before picking up his pistol and running in the opposite direction of Hawk. The Loyal Hunting Dog, waiting for orders from Person and runs over to its fallen master. The doggo barks a few times at what used to be Person and paws at the body. After a few moments, the barks turn to whimpers.
Person fell to an accidentally self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"Je mais vu-hell yes!" Greatness quickly agrees with her knight's plan of action to get out of Explosion-Ville ASAP, but not before she gets rid of witnesses. Greatness aims her Crossbow at the Sheep Herder, who has leapt over a fence and is now in a dead sprint down a tomato field. [2 vs. 10] Greatness fires her loaded bolt at the herder, who times a jump perfectly so that the bolt goes flying underneath him and lands in the dirt a few feet away, allowing him to continue at full speed until he's out of range; even Greatness would have to admit that was an aesthetically impressive maneuver. "M'lady, we must go!" Sir Lorne half-guides, half-yanks Greatness onto the back of his horse as they race down the road, a couple more mortar strikes hitting the area around the destroyed tank. Sir Lorne lets up as the sound of the explosions fades away and the Greatness finds herself before a sign that says "A Coruna", with a moderately sized city up ahead. Sir Lorne asks, "Shall we enter this city? I can't read the sign, your Spanish is much better than my own. Too bad we aren't in France..."
[This attack did not gain the 'Assassination' modifier since an Assassination is defined as a surprise attack in a non-combat context.]
Beirus looks down from his mighty Flying Fortress to see if anything of interest is going down on the ground below: So far he spots a pile of smoke coming from the road that signifies that something had just gone up in smoke. Further away he can see a city, and beyond it a great lighthouse that shoots upwards into the sky. Next to the city is a mansion, and in front of the mansion a large number of soldiers, something is obviously occurring over there.
Cinder stares thoughtlessly at some really interesting clouds when Mr. Lion gives her a nudge on the shoulder, allowing her to re-enter reality. "Huh? Oh yeah!" She starts up the car and pulls out of the alleyway, turning the corner and driving towards the visible outline of the beach. After all, when you're driving a stolen race car with a lion, what better way to spend the day than crab fishing? She arrives at the beach without incident, parking the car and letting Mr. Lion out so that he can stretch on the sand. As Cinder exits the car she realizes that she will have little success crab fishing without a crab cage (and preferably bait)! Where she could find one of those? It is at this time that she is approached by a muscular, mustachioed man in an extremely short and tight pair of swimming trunks. "Good lady! You look like you are in a tough jam! How could I, Senor Bajista, assist you?...Is that a Lion?" He points to Mr. Lion who is happily prancing in the shallows of the water.
Hawk gets so lucky that it might as well be a gift from God. Still, she's only going to be able to utilize that luck if she lives, so she calls upon the powers of St. Patrick's Staff to receive divine healing. [Divinity: 4+2] Miraculously, Hawk finds that the bullet hole in her chest has disappeared, though she is still leaking from the skull. She then hears the voice of God Himself: "I like you and all but I can't constantly be performing miracles just for you, I've got a really busy schedule. Why don't you go and find a doctor or someone to help you with your other bleeding, that way you have a connection for these type of things and you don't have to rely on me."
"Our first move will be to figure out what the exactly these soldiers are here for. Now keep it down while I break opens this guys mind." Midnight informs her compatriot of her first course of action as she presses a finger to her temple and targets the nearest patrol of soldiers for a mind reading. [Mind Reading: 2] This soldiers are not weak of the mind, and Midnight can only make out very vague images, pictures of girls and faraway beaches, of soldiers in long marches but nothing specific at all. The Insurgent throws in his own comments, "They're Fascists right? Judging by the uniforms anyways. And the English hate Fascists. So that means we should side with them right? What's wrong with a little Fascism now and again?"

New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.

Greet the men.

((Hokay, let's do this.))
First up, Freshwater-bender, I recall there being a lake near the mansion, you're to go there and start gathering as much water as possible, then come back and destabilise the soldiers, create waves of water under their feet to knock them over, turn the ground swampy, things like that, try to leave from where they wouldn't see you, if there isn't a lake of some kind, go to the resource-rich land and do the same if possible.
the Raiju and animal-empowered (If it also becomes living electricity after becoming empowered by the Raiju) ones are to go out to take out the tank first (Hopefully without destroying the tank), then anyone driving the jeeps, and finally just the rest of the soldiers, Yuri himself is going to be up top, protecting his vitals with metal and sniping anyone who seems important, the cyborg and demon ones... I don't know what to do with them, some knowledge about what they can do is necessary.
All the other aztecs are to be at the positions noted to be defensible, and retreat quickly if the tank turns out to not be disabled, meanwhile, I'm going to open that portal to the god of medicine and open negotiations.
Did I forget anything?
-
((No orders for Fallacy, but I don't think they should be necessary...))
"Well then, let's not leave our foes waiting!"
Assuming there's fighting, Fallacy climbs to the roof and attempts to snipe Captain Jose.

Clap Fernando on the back in a friendly manner. "Well then comrade. What would Commander Comrade Rodruigez have me do first?" While Fernando responds, search the area for a suitable horse.

Round 71: Battle of La Mansion (Part Uno)
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Afternoon
The occupants of the Mansion begin to prepare for a full-scale military battle of a kind never seen previously. The Fascists are momentarily preoccupied with sporadic shooting coming from the nearby forest.
Execute orders the Freshwater-Bender to the nearby lake, but he is hastily corrected by the Aztec who says that it's the ocean, and therefore not usable. Execute alters his plan and tells him to go into the Forest of Abundance and gather a great deal of water, and the bender goes inside the portal. At almost the same time, the Aztecs workers that were sent in previously return with bags full of lumber, animal skin and obsidian.
The Raiju and Animal-Empowered Aztecs are given the important task of taking out the tank. The two of them rush to the roof with Yuri on Sniper duty, (who has metalicized his upper torso and head as a protective measure) while Execute confers with the other Superpowered Aztecs to find out what they can do. The Cyborg states, "I can see many more things in the people around me, how healthy they are if they have any abnormalities. I can see their heat even through walls. I also feel ten times as powerful," he says, punching a hole through the wall to demonstrate his abilities. The Demon goes on to describe himself in a gravely voice, "Fire. Pain. Hate. It is my duty to bring them, and I will. Mortals must be punished..."
As the rest of the Aztecs move to strategic positions, Execute goes to the painting room to open up the drawing of the ferocious looking Jade Turkey, Tukeolli, God of Disease, Injury and Malady. A yellow portal lets him step through into a world where the sky is coated by green gaseous vapors that look more like chemical compositions instead of clouds. Execute is standing at the bottom of a pyramid made of skulls, and around him are human-like figures that are extremely skinny, patches of skin and hair falling from their bodies as they crawl and trudge around him. From atop the pyramid on a skull of thrones sits Tukeolli in a physical form. The elegantly dressed turkey carries a glowing spear in its maw. (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodbrothersgame/images/f/fb/Iridescent_Chalchiuhtotolin_II_Figure.png/revision/latest?cb=20151124092915) "What do you want of me mortal? Yes, I know your true form, do not act surprise. You lack the divine splendor of a true God."
"Well then, let's not leave our foes waiting!" Fallacy runs up one of the stairways to the roof where Yuri, two of the Superpowered Aztecs and several ranged Aztec warriors are ducking behind the parapets, ready for the fighting to start.
Twinwolf similarly prepares for the fighting by staying in the house, checking to make sure his pistol is primed and at full ammunition, crouching behind a pillar. As he is currently not designated as a leading fighter, his main goal at this time is to survive.
"Someone, go check on that noise!" Captain Jose barks at his soldiers and points to the forest where the gunshots have erupted from. As a squadron departs to investigate the shooting, Fallacy and Yuri signal to each other and put their rifles over their covered, working their respective sights on the distracted captain. [5 vs. 2] [7 vs. 9] Jose falls to the ground, hit by Fallacy's shot in the side of his torso while Yuri hits the side of the jeep he's standing next to. Jose is dragged back into the Jeep before Fallacy and Yuri can re-aim, and these first shots cause all of the other Aztecs to jumpstart into action.
The Raiju and Animal-Empowered Aztec leap from the rooftop, gracefully landing on the ground and rushing for the tank before the Fascist soldiers have time to react to what was currently happening. [5+2(Slow Target) vs. 7] The Raiju's body surges with electrical energy, a bolt of which flies forward and thunderously impacts the front of the tank, though with little visible effect. [1+2 vs. 4] The Animal Empowered Aztec charges even closer to the tank and launches his own smaller lighting bolt, which has even less effect. [8 vs. 6] The Tank retaliates, first with its machine gunner blasting at the Animal-Empowered Aztec, who flees but not before a tank bullet hits his Achilles tendon; he falls on the ground, surrounded by soldiers. Then the tank's gun swivels towards the Raiju, [1 vs. 3] and fires, blasting a patch of ground next to the Aztec with a spray of bullets and causing nearby soldiers to run. [8 vs. 10] With the soldiers disoriented, the Raiju has an open path back to the mansion, and so he launches another bolt at the tank which ricochets off of its cannon and into the ground; he flees rather than holding his ground.
The Aztec Archers on the roof fire their arrows below into the Fascist soldiers. [8 vs. 9] A volley of arrows lands close to the nearest bunch of soldiers, who return fire with rifles and sub-machine guns. [8 vs. 1+1(Cover)] The Aztec are not prepared for such a quick and overpowering response, and most of them in a firing position are killed or incapacitated on the spot. The morale drop is visible, as the next line of reinforcements is hesitant to get to replace their fallen brethren. Yuri attempts to rally and cajole them into carrying on this important fight, [Inspiration: 3] but they continue to resist and stay back as the front of the roof is riddled with bullets.
Down below, the Aztec stationed behind the pillars and front windows of the mansion, the closest fighters to the soldiers, begin slinging javelins and rocks at the front line of Fascists down the steps and onto the lawn. [4 vs. 6] Their attack falls short, the barrage of stone and spears landing on the front lawn in front of the soldiers. [2 vs. 10+2 (Solid Cover)] The soldiers empty their guns out into the pillars, but the steady marble holds and deflects the bullets, refusing to give way to lead. After expending a great deal of ammunition, the front line of soldiers pulls back away to reload and reorganize.
The Fascists reorganization efforts prevent their front line from properly reengaging the mansion. Further back, a hundred yards or so, the jeeps have parked next the fountain and improvised their own defensive wall. A heavy machine gun can be seen being pulled out of the back of one of the jeeps and then placed down upon its hood.
The Raiju races back inside the mansion while the Animal Empowered Aztec, no deprived of his power source, ceases to be able to harness electrical power, and is slowed down by the wound to his tendon. [9 vs. 9-2] A handful of soldiers are able to take some quick shots at him, and one manages to hit him in the bottom of his left forearm. He stumbles into the mansion and falls over.
The tank, unimpressed by the lightning thrown at it, prepares to deliver its own catastrophic explosive power unto the mansion as it aims its central cannon right for the rooftop. [10 vs. 1] Yuri peers over his cover, prepared to take another sniper shot when he sees the rotation of the tank's cannon. Instinctively, he jumps on top of of Fallacy, "RUN, IT'S A-" The second-in-command's words are cut short as a section of the central part of the mansion explodes. [8] Fallacy wakes up, even though she never recalled blacking out. As the haze clears from her eyes, she realizes that she is alive, and all of her body parts intact, though there is a searing, burning pain in her back. She reaches to her back and feels a liquid with her fingers, inspecting it further she finds that its molten, liquid metal. Wondering where this could have come from, she looks around at the grotesque sight of Aztec body parts lining the roof, human beings obliterated until they were unrecognizable. Her eyes finally rest on Yuri's body, or what's left of it, as his lower half and arms are still there but all that remains of his torso and head is a messy splatter of silver liquid. The surviving Aztecs, once out of their daze, find what remains of their leader as well. Panic and confusion quickly erupt on the rooftop and morale breaks for this unit, as they run down the stairs, yelling and hollering about their religious and military leader's fate.
Meanwhile, inside the Portal to the Jade Turkey's dimension, before Execute can even respond to the Disease God's inquiry, an Aztec General shows up unannounced and uninvited. He walks up to Execute and drops to a knee, unable to look his winged god in the eye. "Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal, Yuri was killed in battle. Your forces are fractured and panicking."
The handful of soldiers initially sent out to investigate the gunshots coming from the forests appear once more, fleeing the said forest as if they had encountered something beyond their capacity to control. A handful of modern-looking police officers appear from the treelines, shouting to the soldiers, "Drop your guns and get on the ground!" This is quickly followed by one of them announcing, "Shit! There's too many of them! We need backup! Retreat!" And so the cops fall back into the forest where they originated from.

Beirus flies away from the smoke in search of a crew, after all, there were many positions to fill like pilot, co-pilot, navigator, bombardier, gunner and radio operator, and we wouldn't be able to perform all of these duties simultaneously. Fortunately, a modern civil war was the perfect setting to find experienced operators for a bomber, and it just so happened to be in a time period where the B-17 was still in popular usage, so it was neither too advanced nor obsolete for contemporary soldiers. As Beirus flies around on the outskirts of A Coruna, he spots a fully equipped airfield. Just as he nears it, a voice comes in through the radio, "This is Condor Legion Airfield 5! Land your aircraft immediately or we will shoot it down!"
"Sure, why not!" Greatness agrees to enter the city of A Coruna with her knight. The seaside town has a few people wandering its cobble roads, including some patrolling soldiers, while a number of stalls and stores stand open interspersed between the rustic stone homes. Sir Lorne whispers to Greatness, "Don't those people look like they shouldn't be here?" He motions inconspicuously to a woman in a fur coat being accompanied by a man with a suitcase, both dressed unlike any of the locals.
Dolosus puts his hand on his accompaniment's back. "Well then comrade. What would Commander Comrade Rodruigez have me do first?" The boy is someone startled by the slapping but works his voice up, "Well uh, Comrade Rodriguez has told me that we are to go into a village twelve kilometers to the West where there is a Doctor Marcos. Doctor Marcos has medical supplies and some intelligence for us to transfer which is too sensitive to send over telegram. You see, the whole village is under the eye of the Fascists so Comrade Rodriguez has given this to us as we are less likely to be found out since we are new and inconspicuous. I have to question your choice in clothing, comrade, as it makes you very...identifiable," he is of course referring to Dolosus's Samurai Armor.
Dolosus looks to the stable of horses in search of a new mount. The horses all look to be of a variety typical for the Spanish flatlands, dusky in color and stocky in build. Fernando asks Dolosus, "Do you prefer any of them? You should choose quickly, it is best that we head to the village as soon as possible lest the Fascists grow stronger and more suspicious..."
"Hmm, I suppose, theres no harm in gaining some allies for our glorious cause. Let's see if we can join." Midnight and the Dimasa Nationalist wave down the nearest patrol and ask the soldiers if they can aid in the fight. "There's plenty for a loyal civilian can do. Most important is that keep your country safe by alerting us of any suspected Communist or Anarchist activity that you find. It's especially important if you find spot this man," he says, showing them a flyer of a handsome and hardened looking man with a twinkle in his eyes and a smirk that says he wants you to listen to his plea. "This is Mateo Rodriguez, a known leader of Communist Rebels stationed somewhere in the countryside around A Coruna. We know he is nearby since his men sneak into the town at night to cause trouble, cowardly killing sleeping soldiers, burning supplies and threatening civillians. If he is found, dead or alive, there is a reward of $30,000 Pesetas." As they talk, the Nationalist taps on Midnight's soldier and then points down the road; Standing in the middle of the road is a knight with a woman riding in the rear, not a normal sight.
"What." Hawk is clearly surprised for her latest battle to end the way that it did, as would Person if he were still alive to react. The priestess walks over to his corpse, which lays flat on its back while the dog nearby paws at it sadly. The dog does not intervene as Hawk rips away part of Person's shirt and wraps it around her head. [Bandaging: 8] It's a crude implement, and could still be undone by some great force or trauma, but the bleeding ceases and that's the main thing right now. Hawk abandons Person's body and walks down the hill into town, searching for a doctor. There is a hospital (identifiable as a hospital by the universal red cross symbol at its front entrance) in the distance, though it looks busy. Closer in the city is a smaller one-story building with another universal symbol upon it, two serpents intertwining on a staff. A hanging wooden sign reads "Dr. Samuel, Naturalist and Herbologist".
Wipeout waves to the four patrolling soldiers, who wave back. Just as she goes to speak to them, she is cut off by a woman in a fur coat and an Indian fellow who take the opportunity to talk with the soldiers first. Then from the street, a knight on horseback with another woman approaches the area. It seems like this area is quickly growing more crowded.
The Ensorceler turns onto the main road going into A Coruna in her high-class Oldsmobile, one of the few in its class. She's dressed in an Irish policewoman's uniform, complete with a stab-proof vest and a pistol at her hip. If that weren't enough firepower, she's also got a musket in the trunk, and some baseball equipment in the passenger sheet.

New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.

"Not just a lion, the one and only Mr. Lion. Tell me, my good man, do you know where I can procure the equipment for crab fishing. Also, by the by, have you see any incongruously dressed strangers around?... Excluding me, of course."

Tell my insurgent friend to get inside a building with a good line of site on the knight and the women and get out the AK47. As for myself, mind read the knight.

Find a suitable location and sell the Unio. Make small talk with the buyer to become apprised of the political situation, and finish off the conversation thusly: "You wouldn't be able to direct me towards any... Anarchists, would you?"
-
((Uhh...where was I in the turn?))
-
((...
Shit.
Goddamnit, now?! Now I get the shitty rolls?!))
"...
Dead, hmph.
I guess I have to sort this out myself."
Or die trying.
Alright, I'm leaving, close the portal to that other god, talk to the demon aztec, tell him there's plenty of mortals who need to be punished outside the mansion, let the aztecs who have had their moral broken run, they'll be no use at this point, get the animal empowered aztec dragged in and healed, pick up the raiju aztec and fly him around the enemy force to the back, where he is to take out as many as he can, and once they discover him, to use the forest as cover, while there, crack that amulet I've been given, and fly back.
((Oh man, I really have no clue what else to do, looks like this'll pan out about the same as the sunset invasion.))

Turn towards the other two with an eyebrow raised, before hopping off and walking towards them. Try simply speaking to them, see where they come from and what their angle is:
"Hello! I'm Francesca "Greatness" Colette. You two don't seem to be around here, and I was just curious about it."

"Ow. OWWWWW. Yuri? YURI? Waitaminute, you're a Logia. You ought to be able to pull yourself together. Comeon, Yuri! Yuri? ... You're dead aren't you, Yuri. Uhh... you know what? No. If I have anything to say about it, you won't be dead much longer. EXECUTE? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, I COULD DO WITH A PORTAL OPENING..."
Fallacy makes use of her bonuses to running and stamina as she runs back to her painting supplies and gets painting. What does Fallacy paint, you ask? First, she thinks. Then she paints a contract. Not just any contract, however. A contract the size of a city, carved into a very flat plain. A contract scribed by a number of gods. A contract that has its terms alter the very laws of reality to rapidly perfectly heal/repair whatever is within the contract's radius, even to the point of resurrecting the dead and correcting genetic flaws. Once the painting is opened, Fallacy has someone bring her a metal pot and ladle, which she uses to gather up Yuri's molten state and carry him into the contract.
((If NAV can combine Maces and Golf to get super-bonuses, why can't I combine Law and Landscape Painting? :P ))

Well, this looks stupid in every good way possible. I'm just gonna hop into the waitlist, real quick...

Search for either other wiki warriors, or living things that were brought/made by one, stealthily of course, don't want to get offed after all.

"Hmm, you are definitely right there comrade, in both cases. If you could bring me some more... suitable clothing we can leave immediately.
Find a sack and put all of my samurai armor in it. Grab a horse and put the sack in one of its saddlebags. Once Frederico comes back with less conspicuous clothing, put it on and set off to find the good doctor.
-
"I'm landing. Don't shoot. Also, you think you can talk me through the landing procedures? The pilot's gone, and I would rather not crash."
Land the plane. Wait for them to presumably give further instructions.
-
((Crap, it's been 3 days and I still haven't posted an action. Sorry, it just slipped my mind.))
Might as well try this Samuel guy out. Get in and ask if they can deal with a cranial gunshot wound. If they don't go to the hospital.

Warily approach the people entering the square.

Round 72: Battle of La Mansion (Part Dos)
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Afternoon
Beirus communicates with Condor Legion Airfield 5 over the radio, "I'm landing. Don't shoot. Also, you think you can talk me through the landing procedures? The pilot's gone, and I would rather not crash."
"The pilot is gone? What are you doing?!" The man on the other side of the line sounds exasperated. "Fuck...okay, take the throttle and pull towards you to slow the plane. Take the yoke and stay steady, do you see where it says landing gear? You need to deploy that..." The airfield communicator guides Beirus through the steps of landing the bomber, [Flying: 2+1(Radio Assistance)] and manages to touch the plane down onto the runway. That's the last good thing that happens, as Beirus has no idea how to drop the plane's momentum, and it sails forward, and smashes straight into the side of an aircraft hanger. [1] Beirus's head flies forward from the impact and slams onto the steering wheel, causing him to black out...
Beirus awakes sometime later in a tent with no recollection of he arrived there. As he stands up, he feels a the barrel of a pistol prodding his stomach. Looking up, he sees the sharp face of a man in a decorated military uniform, as well as two additional soldiers in the green tent. The high-ranking soldier cajoles Beirus back onto the cot he was previously laying on. "You imbecile, you could have gotten someone killed! I could execute you at this second!" The soldier barks at Beirus, waving a Luger in his face; his voice matches the one on the radio that was talking to Beirus before. "But, I am a merciful man, unlike some of my peers." He lowers the gun. "I will give you an opportunity to explain yourself. What were you doing, flying an American Bomber over our base?"
The Ensorceler drives into town to find a suitable buyer for her ship, the Unio. She could potentially sell it to the military, but they were notorious for taking advantage of foreigners and they were very bad people to be asking about dissidents. After a bit of scouring, she is able to find a fisherman down by the port who's own vessel was growing old and weary. He offers $10,000 Pesetas for the Sternwheeler. The two of them also talk about the war and the various parties involved, and The Ensorceler casually throws in a question, "You wouldn't be able to direct me towards any... Anarchists, would you?"
The fisherman looks aghast, "What?! Of course I would no nothing of such people...unless we could reduce the price of your offer to around $8,000 Pesetas, that might help jog my memory..."
"Hmm, you are definitely right there comrade, in both cases. If you could bring me some more... suitable clothing we can leave immediately." The young resistance fighter runs into one of the manor's buildings and retrieves a set of standard's farmers clothing, a white work shirt and brown pants with a brown cap, all absolutely ordinary. Dolosus goes into a closed storeroom to shed his armor and change clothing, then emerges in his new attire with his Samurai gear hidden away. (+Farmer's Work Clothes) (+Sack) Dolosus grabs an ashen colored stallion and places the sack in saddlebag while his companion retrieves his own mount. (+Horse)
The duo ride out of the manor on their first mission, meeting with a Doctor Marcos in a village to the West. They follow the dirt road hence, passing by acres of picturesque agricultural land, with the occasional ox-driven cart or group of farmers on a work break meeting them on the road, doing little more than glancing at the two horse riders. "Everyone used to be so friendly before the war, but now everyone outside of family and friends looked at with suspicion," the youthful partisan remarks sadly. After about fifteen minutes of riding, the two reach the outskirts of the village, consisting of a few rows of wooden buildings, lacking any of the splendor of the manor. The Partisan points to a single-story building with an open window and a sign illustrating serpents entwined around a staff. "That's it right there, we have to be careful getting in," he says, subtly gesturing to the trio of Fascist soldiers halfway down the block from the doctor's office. The soldiers are laying on a pile of hay bales, speaking with animation and laughter.
Wipeout steps away from the new arrivals and sits down at a nearby bench that gives her a vantage point of the area, so that she can see anyone coming to and from the square. So far, it all looks like your typical variety of farmers, craftsmen, merchants and other common folk in ordinary ware. She continues to keep an eye out for anyone new that looks interesting...
MidnightJaguar tells the Insurgent to get into a higher position where he'll have line of sight with everyone in the area. He responds and gets up from his seat, briskly walking towards one of the taller buildings in the area, a three-story storehouse. Midnight then focuses on the knight and attempts to pierce his mental barrier, [Mind Reading: 5] and manages to access some of his thoughts. The Knight and his accomplice are companions from a foreign land, and while they share a close relationship it's strictly for business and practical purposes; the Knight is highly devoted to making sure that she stays safe. The Knight is currently concerned for the woman and believes that there are dangers afoot. Midnight can not get a read on any further on the Knight, his long term goals are obscured from her magic.
Greatness turns towards Midnight and the Indian, glancing at them with suspicion. She hops off of Sir Lorne's horse and walks to the two of them. Once she is in range of Midnight, Greatness calls out, "Hello! I'm Francesca "Greatness" Colette. You two don't seem to be around here, and I was just curious about it." Midnight, previously in a state of concentration, has it broken by Greatness's greeting. Greatness notes that the Indian fellows has disappeared around this time. [Perception: 5] Greatness scans her surroundings and out of the corner of the eyes sees that Midnight's companion is moving to the other side of the street, briefcase in tow.
Hawk decides to give this Dr. Samuel a shot even with his unconventional title. The interior of the building bears little resemblance to a normal doctor's office: instead of plain white walls and a sterile environment, there are potted plants everywhere, sprouting from the ground and suspended from the ceiling. And these are not your typical potted office fern either, everything from vines to flowers and thorns are growing from all corners of the room. It's like standing in the middle of a crowded greenhouse or botanical garden, when a man bursts through some foliage like a jungle explorer, and dressed for the part, looking nothing like a doctor. "I am Dr. Samuel, master of natural remedy! If I may analyze your condition for a moment, I conclude that you," he waves his hands erratically around Hawk's head, "are suffering from a cranial injury."
Cinder explains to Senior Bajista, "Not just a lion, the one and only Mr. Lion. Tell me, my good man, do you know where I can procure the equipment for crab fishing. Also, by the by, have you see any incongruously dressed strangers around?... Excluding me, of course."
The muscle-man, scratches at his mustache. "Personally? No, I have not seen such people, but I have been hearing rumors of strange dressing and acting people wandering around the town center, looking lost. If I see any, I will do my best to guide them, that is my duty as a gentleman. If you want fishing equipment, go North up the beach and talk to some of the fisherman, at least one of them should be willing to give you a spare cage for money, or if they like you enough." Mr. Lion dips his head into the ocean, and comes back up with a struggling fish caught in his jaws, his mane dripping with water. "Are you sure it is a good idea to let your lion roam around like this? Especially with people so scared now, due to the war."
Failbird and his Soldier scout out the surrounding area for Wiki Warriors, or living products created by them. This is done with the greatest stealth to help preserve their current state of being alive. [Stealth: 8] Failbird and his Soldier stick to the edges of buildings and behind carts, crates and stands to prevent them from sticking out from the regular crowd. As they get further into the center of A Coruna, they spot two oddly dressed woman talking with an armored Knight on horseback nearby, not a typical sight in this little community. The Soldier looks to Failbird for orders.
There's a moment of silence in the realm of The Jade Turkey, the only sound coming from the shuffling of the tortured humanoids in the foreground. "...Dead, hmph. I guess I have to sort this out myself." Or die trying. Execute unceremoniously exits the painting with Tukeolli barely giving him a parting hand-wave. Execute marches up to the Demon Aztec, informing him about the large amount of mortals outside that need to be punished. "But of course~" The Demon saunters towards the front of the mansion, toying with a small fireball in his palm.
With the death of Yuri, Execute watches as a percentage of his forces have their moral broken and race down the spiral staircase leading to the roof, and taking it all the way down to the basement, shedding their weaponry on the way down and leaving the staircase looking like an art piece decorated with bows and slings. He makes no attempt to stop them from retreating underground.
Execute barks at some nearby soldiers to retrieve the Animal Empowered Aztec, who is suffering from two debilitating wounds. A handful of Aztecs pull him inside and immediately set out to healing him, [Medicine: 7+2(Medical Supplies)] They are able to stop the bleeding with a mixture of bindings and anti-coagulation herbs, but his left foot has suffered some permanent damage that conventional Aztec medicine isn't going to be able to heal.
Execute wraps his arms around the Raiju and taking flight with him in tow. It takes him a few seconds to support the Raiju in addition to his own weight just by the strength of his wings, but manages to achieve flight.
Fallacy's reaction to the death of the Aztec High Priest is less contained than Execute's; "Ow. OWWWWW. Yuri? YURI? Waitaminute, you're a Logia. You ought to be able to pull yourself together. Comeon, Yuri! Yuri? ... You're dead aren't you, Yuri. Uhh... you know what? No. If I have anything to say about it, you won't be dead much longer. EXECUTE? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, I COULD DO WITH A PORTAL OPENING..." Fallacy races back downstairs in the midst of the roaring battle, with Aztecs racing in every direction in order to grab extra supplies and weaponry, and jumps on a pile of art supplies in the painting room. She grabs a section of parchment and begins writing a parchment with great haste, a detailed scripture outlining a contract that would invalidate the laws of metaphysics to the point where someone could come back from the dead. [Landscape Law Painting: 10+2] It's immaculate, they should hang the finished product right next to the original Spanish Constitution, wherever that's being held. Gathering more miscellaneous supplies, Fallacy gathers Yuri up into a large metal cooking cauldron, and runs back to the painting with a pot full of melted metal-human, complete with two corpse legs sticking out; it could be taken as horrifying, hilarious, or both! Fallacy waits for Execute to come to her aid and open up her Magnum Opus Legal Scripture...yet, he does not come.
There is a short lull in the battle as both the front line of Fascists soldiers marches back up to the front of the mansion while a new set of Aztecs replace those at the rooftop that have either died or fled; the only Aztecs up there now are the among the bravest, as the tank shot that killed Yuri and dozens of Aztecs also dismantled the cover on the roof, leaving the reinforcements exposed. [4 vs. 10] The rooftop units take aim at the Fascists below and begin pelting them with arrows and stones, to little effect. Perhaps this little effect is due to the fact that the Fascists respond to arrows and stones with rifle and sub-machine gun fire. [7 vs. 10] The Aztecs are aware enough to pull back this time as the front of the rooftop is wracked with bullets.
On the lower level, the Pillar Aztec lean around their cover to take quick shots at the nearest Fascists. [8 vs. 5] This time the Aztecs are able to put in some actual casualties, as about ten Fascists fall to Aztec arrow fire.
With the first dent made in the Fascists number, the Demon Aztec rushes out the door and down the steps at a faster-than-human clip, assaulting the soldiers before they can recover. [7+2(Demon Powers) vs. 3] The Fascists begin to line up their iron sights on the demon, but before a trigger can be pulled, the Demon smashes his fist into the ground; a red fracture appears in the Earth that runs forward into the Fascists ranks and stops at the center of the front line. The fracture then bursts, and fire begins to spew from the ground as if the Demon had just broken through to the core of the planet. Magma engulfs the front line, and those that are not killed instantly spend their last few moments running around in agonized panic as the liquid engulfs their flesh and organs. Soon, what once was the front line is now a collection of human-sized ash piles.
Execute utilizes the success of the Demon to fly the Raiju to the rear of the Fascists forces. He dashes out of the front of the mansion like a free bird as the front line of soldiers literally melts away beneath him. [Strength: 10-1(Flying while Carrying Heavy Weight)] Flying high above the ground and carrying a wolf-sized Raiju? No problem for Execute. He flies above the forest, away from the guns of the Fascists, and lands within the forest, behind the rear line. The Raiju scurries away to flank the Fascists from behind, while Execute takes a moment to take out the intricate Nature Charm the Shaman had gifted him a while ago. She said something about being able to use it in a time of emergency, and so what could be a better time? Execute breaks the charm in half, and watches a stream of flowing green energy soak into the fores around him. (-Shaman Nature Charm) A group of nearby trees suddenly sprout humanoid face and rise out of the ground, climbing out of the ground with human limbs as if they had just waken up from a long sleep in which they were buried from the neck down. They spring forth from the dirt, sending a shockwave to the ground that forces Execute to steady himself as the tree-beings come to being. They walk to Execute, towering over him, each easily at least ten feet tall. They speak unanimously, "We have come to serve you. Our existence is to follow your word." (+3 Loyal Ents) The Ents have surrounded Execute tightly, preventing him from flying back to the mansion.
The Raiju races out of the forest and charges at the Fascists from the rear, attacking the Jeeps with the element of surprise. [1+2(Flanking Attack) vs. 10] Before the Raiju can get within striking range, the Fascists in the jeep have turned their pistols on the Raiju, spraying a wall of bullets at its direction, and forcing it around, lest it takes a shot between the eyes on a failed flanking maneuver. [3 vs. 5] The Raiju eludes the gunfire as it disappears back within the forest.
With their first line decimated in a flash, the second line of the Fascists hurriedly take battle-ready positions. Instead of marching forward and reclaiming the spot where the first line stood, they stay further back in order to just engage the Demon Aztec. [9 vs. 3] The Demon laughs as rifles at aimed at him, "What can your mortal weapons do against a prince of hell?" The entire line of Spanish rifleman fire, and the Demon soon finds his answer as he is laying on the ground with several gunshot wounds across his body. "...fuck..." Thankfully, his Demon qualities allow him to survive far more than a normal human could, but 'surviving' and 'not being blasted apart by a dozen rifle bullets' are two different things.
The Tank turns its machine gun on the mansion, first firing a stream of bullets into the roof, [7 vs. 9] and failing to do any damage to the Aztecs who had smartly retreated to the other side of said roof. It adjusts its fire now for the front of the mansion, [7 vs. 2+2] and this time slays a handful of Aztecs, though more importantly the heavy concentration of tank fire is now doing damage to the pillars the Aztecs in the front were relying from for cover; entire chunks of marble and stone are blasted apart.
Some soldiers by the Fountain pull out a full-fledged medium machine gun and place it on the hood of one vehicle, aiming it for the mansion. However, Captain Jose can be seen yelling at the soldiers, causing them to adjust the machine gun from the mansion to instead pointing at the forest where the Raiju had fled into.
Between demons, lightning foxes, flying Gods and giant contracts, the battle can be properly classified as "going all to shit". Just to add to everything is the reemergence of the Police from another dimension, who have arrived with their back-up; from the Eastern part of the forest, between the front lines of the Aztecs and Fascists, a large Armored Personnel Carrier rolls out of the woodworks and onto the front lawn, blaring sirens. Some of the Fascists shoot at this metal beast, but their Small Farms fail to do any damage to the behemoth on wheels, which is even larger than the Tank. An amplified voice booms from the APC: "THIS IS THE POLICE. WE ARE ORDERING ALL OF YOU CIVILIANS TO CEASE HOSTILITIES AND PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS, ESPECIALLY YOUR GUNS. COMPLY OR WE WILL RESPOND WITH NECESSARY FORCE."

The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.

"Consider it jogged. A pleasure doing business with you."
Go about meeting with the Anarchists, offering a gift of $5000 Pesetas and my services as a kindred spirit in the fight against tyranny in all its forms. Try to convince them that a revolution is imminent, and that the populace would rise up against both the Facists and the Communists if we could prove that we can fight for them. Heroic and inspiring acts of war and suchlike.
-
"Alright, two of you ents are to go around to the opposite side of the area the police are coming from, and attack from the the people attacking the mansion from there, and one of you is too move around where the policemen are coming from, find the painting, and keep watch while I get back, go!"
So, first, I'll fly back, being sure to stay high enough above that they won't notice me, and get back to the mansion, command the cyborg aztec to grab the demon aztec and get him to where Fallacy's panting is, open the painting Fallacy has made (And, in the event of future scenarios like this, assume that if Execute has the time he'll automatically help open any painting they need opened), then get all the other aztecs to get back into the mansion, take potshots if possible, but keep in cover that isn't destroyed, and stop immediately if they're further warned by the police.
-
Look around. Is there anything in particular that looks out of the ordinary?
-
"Okay then!"
Right. Once Execute opens the portal, Fallacy brings the Yuri-Pot into it, and helps carry the demonic Aztec in. Afterwards? She paints another painting, depicting the aftermath of a battle... plenty of arms and armor left behind... maybe even a Shardblade (http://stormlightarchive.wikia.com/wiki/Shardblades) or two.
((I'm thinking we can resurrect the soldiers in there. Odds are at least some of them will feel indebted to us.))

Call out for my Insurgent friend to open fire on the knight while I backpedal and unload my glock into Greatnesses face.

"Death comes to all. Except me."
Does this imply you are attempting to take her gun? Because currently you don't have the means to hold her at gunpoint.

Indeed it does. Guess I should have typed out my plans to grab the dropped gun, but there it is.
-
"Okay then!"
Right. Once Execute opens the portal, Fallacy brings the Yuri-Pot into it, and helps carry the demonic Aztec in. Afterwards? She paints another horribly abusive painting, depicting a field covered in beads of Lerasium (http://mistborn.wikia.com/wiki/Lerasium).
"Look, Fallacy, it's great that you're really doing as much as you can to help, but instead, can you make some artwork of some kind of armoury? Something capable of letting me arm and armour these aztecs, I believe that after this battle they will start to understand the need for more powerful weaponry."
((Also I'm a bit worried that if this goes on TCM is going to start breaking shit))
-
"Each of the beads I'm painting? They grant an exceptionally powerful set of superpowers to anyone who consumes one! And they stack! But if you'd prefer weapons, and armor, fine."
Action edited.

"If they attack eachother, we open fire on whoever is still standing. If not... Oh look they're already fighting."
Fire at whoever seems to be winning the engagement
Soldier: fire at one of the ones still standing Failbird isn't already firing at.

"That's very perceptive of you. Can you do anything to fix this?"
I don't think this guy is an actual doctor. But let's see what he can do.
-
"Alright then comrade. I know that even while wearing these clothes, I don't look Spanish. If the Fascists ask what we're doing, I'll pretend not to speak Spanish, and you can tell them that I need Dr. Marcos to treat a family member of mine. We are doing this so that if these soldiers ask for specifics, we don't have to make up a more elaborate story, and you can just tell them that you were sent with me as a guide, and that you don't know anything more than that. Understood?"
Enter the building and get to Dr. Marcos. Explain to him that we're with the communists, and that we were sent to retrieve him, then explain the above plan. If at any time the Fascist soldiers get in the way, follow the plan.
-
"What do you mean? Mr. Lion can't even use guns or tanks. If the people should be scared, then they should be scared of each other."
Use my knowledge of ecology to see if the fish species is associated with good fishing. Also ask Senior Bajista about the town's industries and economy prior to the war.
-
"I really don't know. I woke up in the bomber, missing a crew and unsure of my location. I'm not a pilot, and I wasn't sure what to do, but I was trying to find a crew. There's a war going on, and you can't operate a bomber by yourself. It's like running a business. It takes people, not just one person. I'm sorry for the damages I caused. I will of course reimburse you if you don't kill me."
Explain. Use business metaphors and business negotiation skills.

But I bet that I'm going to critfail twice in flying above the Nationalists and get riddled with bullets.))

Round 73: A Coruna Showdown
Location: A Coruña, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a)
Weather Conditions: Sunny
Time: Afternoon
"That's very perceptive of you. Can you do anything to fix this?" Dr. Samuel responds to Hawk's question, "Of course! In fact, I'd wager that I can help you more than those doctors at the hospital with their so called 'federally tested drugs' and 'certifications for medical practice'. Come with me." Hawk follows the doctor through a door, and into a room with just as many plants, though also many disorganized shelves containing labeled jars of all sorts of plant extracts. Hawk feels something crawling around her ankle, and looks down to see a large lizard scurry behind some potted plants. "Oh don't worry about him, even though I specialize in herbs, I have picked up a few animals on my travels as well. My profession has me going all over the world, from the mountains of India to the rainforests of Brazil. As you might guess, I am not Spanish in origin, English actually. I relocated to Spain after some...'issues' back home, and I was about to move when this war broke out. Funny how that happens, you want to leave all the chaos behind you but it has a way of following you, like a tree frog fleeing a carnivorous snake...Oh yes, your injury. Let me see..." The doctor browses his jars until he settles on a container of Belmont Pepper. "Here we go, let me just take a handful of this," he mutters, pouring a dusky red material into his palm. He walks over to Hawk and undoes her bandages, revealing the wound. "This may burn a little, but it's a temporary sensation." [Herbal Medicine: 1+2] Indeed, it produces a stinging, burning sensation on Hawk's head as the ground pepper is applied to the wound. The bleeding does not stopped, and now that the bandages have been removed, the wound itself reopens. "Uh oh, um, er..."
Wipeout looks around for anything out of the ordinary, and so far that results in nothing. Civil war could be considered out of the ordinary, but that's a question left for sociology. The two women in atypical clothing are beginning to interact, so Wipeout decides to focus on that, as it could lead to something of interest.
Once the Insurgent is in position, MidnightJaguar cries out "DEATH TO THE MONARCHY!" She takes a step back and reaches into the breast of her suit, pulling out her pistol; As soon as Midnight cries out, Greatness jumps into action and rushes at the vampire. [Agility: 2 vs. 10+1(Athleticism)] Just as Midnight gets the pistol out of her suit, Greatness quickly establishes a powerful grip on her wrist, holding it at a downwards angle. [Wrestling: 3+2+2(Firm Grip) vs. 4] Greatness swiftly pulls Midnight's right arm down, at the same time driving her knee into her opponent's elbow. The arm doesn't break, but Midnight grunts in pain and reflexively drops her gun on the ground. [Wrestling: 2+2+2 vs. 4] Greatness continues to leverage Midnight's arm by twisting the wrist while applying pressure on the elbow with her other arm; Midnight is forced to bend over, but is able to resist enough and stay on her feet, leaving the two of them in a position similar to this. (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vyrThW_OMoU/maxresdefault.jpg)
At this time, gunfire erupts from a window across the street as the Dimasa Nationalist unloads his AK47. [9 vs. 10] One of the bullets strikes Sir Lorne in the helmet but it ricochets off. "Merde!" The Knight rides next to the struggle between Greatness and Midnight, and brings down his sword's hilt upon the latter. [5+2(Target being Grappled) vs. 3] The hilt smashes into Midnight's skull and she folds like a napkin. Before Greatness can take advantage of this however, Sir Lorne grabs her by the neck and drags her onto the back of his horse. "We can't stay here m'lady, we're exposed!" He spurns his mount into a gallop while putting his shield up in order to protect both of them from more gunfire. [10 vs. 6] There's another burst of automatic gunfire, and while Greatness and her knight are untouched, a bullet hits one of the horses's knees, bringing it down along with both of its riders. [10+1, 2] When the horse begins to topple over, Greatness leaps out of her seat and hits the ground with a perfectly executed roll, and she lands without incident. Sir Lorne however falls right out of his saddle onto the ground, and furthermore the horse comes crashing down upon his left leg. The horse, injured itself, limps off of him while the knight tries to get on his feet, but fails and lands on his backside. Greatness can see that his leg is definitely broken from the angle it is twisted at.
Meanwhile, Midnight gets back up unsteadily. Blood runs down her face and her stance is wobbly; the hilt strike has obviously shaken her up.
Failbird, from behind the cover of a crate, instructs his soldier on their plan of action: "If they attack eachother, we open fire on whoever is still standing. If not... Oh look they're already fighting.". Indeed, Greatness and Midnight have already exchanged blows at this point, and the Germans step out of cover and bring up their WWI weapons. Quickly scanning the participants in the battle, Failbird decides that Greatness looks the least injured out of anyone, and so he aims his pistol for her. [4 vs. 3] He fires at her twice, and one of the bullets barely skims her torso, doing little more than making another annoying flesh wound. The German soldier aims down his rifle sights for the dazed Midnight, [9 vs. 9-8] and fires a single bullet that similarly skims her left leg, slightly damaging her pants but nothing more. When the infantryman fires upon Midnight however, the Dimasa Insurgent is alerted to his leader's peril, and locates the new threat on the battlefield. He pivots his position and turns his AK47 on Failbird's crew. [4 vs. 6] The Indian sprays at the Germans, who retreat from their position but are unharmed, while at the same time firing at their attacker's position, attempting to suppress him. [9 vs. 5] [1 vs. 2] The German soldier unloads into the window, expending most of his ammunition but failing to hit his target; Failbird fires multiple shots and one of them hits its mark, hitting the window shooter right in his stomach. Upon being hit, the Dimasa Nationalist curses fiercely in his native tongue and backs away from the window. Once they are back behind a crate, the soldier remarks to Failbird, "Do you think there are any more of them? I didn't even notice the one in the window at first. It feels like they're coming from every angle!"
Dolosus forms a plan for their immediate mission; "Alright then comrade. I know that even while wearing these clothes, I don't look Spanish. If the Fascists ask what we're doing, I'll pretend not to speak Spanish, and you can tell them that I need Dr. Marcos to treat a family member of mine. We are doing this so that if these soldiers ask for specifics, we don't have to make up a more elaborate story, and you can just tell them that you were sent with me as a guide, and that you don't know anything more than that. Understood?"
"I understand senor, it's a genius plan! Vamos."
The revolutionaries enter Dr. Marcos's office, a plain little building, with the titular man being a heavy balding fellow, probably in his mid to late 50's. After greetings are exchanged, Dolosus reveals his party's true identities. Dr. Marcos is not surprised, "I've been waiting for this exchange, one moment..." The doctor goes into the back of his office and retrieves a sack and a sealed envelope. "The bag contains drugs and other medicines and the envelope is to go to Commander Rodriguez. Do not take offense, but I ask that you leave the village as quickly as possible, the longer you linger, the more suspicious the Fascists will be and begin to question the motive of these non-natives wandering around the village. Good luck, and long live the Republic." (+Medicine Sack, Intelligence Envelope)
The exchange goes without incident, so Dolosus and the partisan exit Dr. Marcos's office with no trouble. As they get on their horse, the two of them spot the trio of Fascist soldiers idling about before are now moving about, their staggered and erratic patterns of movement suggest they are not sober. An elderly man with a cane walks near them, and suddenly one of the soldiers snatches the cane from the man and causes him to fall over, to the soldiers amusement. He slowly gets up while the soldiers jeer and taunt him, and just as he gets to his feet he is shoved onto the ground and laughed at further. The Partisan's voice is low and seethes with rage, "These Fascist bastardos only get joy from bullying the weak and peaceful. I'd love to see them on the receiving end of agony." Dolosus can see that the Partisan's left hand in his in his pocket, clutching the handle of his pistol with white-hot knuckles.
Beirus makes his case "I really don't know. I woke up in the bomber, missing a crew and unsure of my location. I'm not a pilot, and I wasn't sure what to do, but I was trying to find a crew. There's a war going on, and you can't operate a bomber by yourself. It's like running a business. It takes people, not just one person. I'm sorry for the damages I caused. I will of course reimburse you if you don't kill me."
[Negotiation: 3] The Nazi officer stares down at Beirus the whole time like a betrayed lover, and does not appear to be impressed with his business tactics. "...Do you realize how absurd it is that you would just wake up in an American Bomber with no recollection, alone? Tomorrow will you wake up on a dragon sailing about the heavens? Do you take me for an idiot? Guards!" Two younger soldiers immediately appear in the tent and salute their officer. "We are taking this man to our prison and I want you two to make sure he causes no trouble." The officer turns to Beirus, "You'll be staying there until we either find a way you can assist us, or decide that we would be better off transporting you to a more 'appropriate' setting. Come on now, let's get going, I don't have time to waste."
Cinder converses with Senor Bajista, "What do you mean? Mr. Lion can't even use guns or tanks. If the people should be scared, then they should be scared of each other."
"That further adds to my point, without a gun to defend himself with, Mr. Lion is in great danger of these soldiers, some of whom act impulsively." Mr. Lion brings the fish he had caught to Cinder as a present and she kneels down to inspect the specimen. [Ecology: 5+2] The fish is a Turbot, a common fish in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and considered a delicacy for its delicate texture when cooked; the presence of this fish is indicative of a region where fishing is important.
Cinder asks Senor Bajista about A Coruna's industrial and economic industries. The muscle man strokes his powerful chin and begins to reminiscence, "I've lived here for over twenty years now. I grew up in Toledo and came here as an adolescent for a girl. The girl and I parted ways, but my new love was the city, for its beautiful scenery, pleasant people and easy way of life. I started out as a farmhand but I pursued my dream of being a strongman, like the men you see in the movies who can lift a car or an elephant. Now my business is entertainment, though I have neither much fame or fortune, as to achieve those as an entertainer, one must travel the world, and I have no reason to leave A Coruna behind, especially now." Bajista laughs sadly. "To live here happily, one does not need much money, and I am given a small patronage by the community for my acts of great strength and athleticism. Life has not been as easy recently though, with the war. People are less happy and trusting than they once were."
"...Oh, you wanted to know about A Coruna, not my own personal history! I apologize, it's just that I don't get to speak so openly of my past since everyone here knows of me, and I have an image to keep up. Eh...Yes, from what I have been told by the elders, A Coruna has been an important port in the region since ancient times. You see that old lighthouse up ahead? That's the Tower of Hercules, built by the Romans when they came over. It might not look like it, but there used to be a lot of industry here for a small town. There were big factories for cigarettes, glass and textiles in the 19th century, but then there were economic troubles, and the factories closed down and were destroyed. Many people left for the big cities looking for work, and the town became a quiet port city, quiet until the war started. Even with the war, there hasn't been too much fighting around-" Bajista is cut off as the sound of gunfire travels from the center of the city. Bajista looks down into the sand with woe and doesn't say anything more on the topic of industry and economics.
The Ensorceler accepts the fisherman's offer for a discount in exchange for information on the location of local Anarchists, "Consider it jogged. A pleasure doing business with you." (+$8000 Pesetas)
The fisherman smiles and then whispers in her ear, "Oscar's Bar in town, ask the bartender for gin with half a squeezed peach and then flick your thumb against the bridge of your nose. You didn't hear this from me, okay?"
Ensorceler heads for the bar as the fisherman looks over his new vessel, and finds it on a street corner towards the exterior of town. The interior is old and wooden, and there are not many customers at this time. The Ensorceler sits at the bar and performs the coded message, at which point the bartender looks around the place as if to make sure that no one is watching him closely. He exits the bar and waves for the Ensorceler to follow him to the back of the store. The two of them descend into a cellar and the bartender opens up a hidden entryway into the floor. The Ensorceler jumps down and finds herself in a compact stone room. Guns and crates of explosives line the walls and several flags are hanging from the ceiling. (https://flagspot.net/images/q/qt-a_dg3.gif) At the center of the room is a round wooden table (covered with small arms, ammunition and maps) which a half-dozen people sit, all staring at The Ensorceler. The one to speak is a short woman with curly hair and a notable scar on her nose, "Who are you and how the hell did you get in here? You have ten seconds before I kill you."
The Ensorceler slams down a stack of $5000 Pesetas on the table (-$5000). The Anarchists take notice, but their leader appears unmoved; "I'm not foolish enough to accept money for trust." The Ensorceler elaborates on their donation by pledging to to the Anarchist cause and ideology. The Hungarian claims that the coming of the next revolution is unfolding, and that the common people of Spain will support them if the Anarchists can prove that they have a dream worth fighting for. [Revolutionary Rhetoric: 3+2] The leader stands up and walks right in front of The Ensorceler, looking her dead in the eye; "You ideals are noble but naive, the Fascists and Communists outnumber us 10-to-1, not to mention they are getting supported by the most powerful nations on the planet. Still, we need more people who truly believe in the cause, and your little operetta has convinced me of your devotion. My name is Anna Rio and I have found the newest member of my organization," she says, sticking out an open hand.
Execute gives orders to the living trees, "Alright, two of you ents are to go around to the opposite side of the area the police are coming from, and attack from the the people attacking the mansion from there, and one of you is too move around where the policemen are coming from, find the painting, and keep watch while I get back, go!" The ents move out and Execute takes to the skies, soaring to an altitude beyond the range of the Fascists as he flies back to the mansion. [Flying: 7] A couple soldiers attempt to shoot down Execute with their rifles as he were a prized quail, but quickly realize that he can't be hit. He lands at the back of the roof and runs down into the main level where most of his forces are stationed, including the Raiju who has made it back from his last attempted assault and has shifted back into human form. Execute orders the Cyborg to retrieve the felled Demon outside; the Cyborg rushes out the mansion, his metallic feet clanging against the marble flooring. He makes it into the lawn, where the incapacitated Demon is laying. [4+2(Armored Exterior) vs. 9] The Fascists begin to fire at the Cyborg, who shrugs off most of the bullets that deflect off of him as he makes a beeline for his fallen companion. However, a few shots from riflery knocks him back, and he is forced to retreat to the mansion to prevent a serious injury to his circuitry or worse.
Execute calls back the last Aztecs that are on the outside of the mansion and pulls them into the main hall. The commander points his pistol at the nearest cluster of Fascists and prepares to find on him, when suddenly another two police APCs pull up to the front of the mansion and block his line of sight. They are followed by two police helicopters, who are now encircling the entire area, casting twin searchlights on everything below; with the fortifications set in place by the APCs, both sides are blocked from firing on one another. Once a couple Ents appear out of the Western side of the forest, Captain Jose begins to signal and shout excitedly; at this point the Fascists begin to retreat out of the mansion's property, done with this excursion of nonsense. The Fascists were unable to breach the Mansion, though one of their spoils is that they capture the Demon Aztec, who can be seen being dragged and thrown into the back of one of the jeeps which speeds away from the battlefield, followed by the remainder of the infantry, and finally the tank.
Battle of La Mansion Concluded: Fascist Retreat
Casualties & Damage
Aztecs Empire:
Yuri - Deceased
Fallacy - Injured
Demon Aztec - Incapacitated and Captured
~50 Aztecs Killed
Spanish Fascists:
Captain Jose - Wounded
32 Nationalist Soldiers Killed
Mansion:
Front of Roof - Heavily Damaged
Pillars - Heavily Damaged
With the battle over, Execute and Fallacy can focus on their own forces, specifically Yuri, who is 50% metal soup. Fascist uses more canvas paper to paint a landscape depicting the aftermath of a large conflict, possibly a memorial of this last battle. [Landscape Painting: 10+2-2] The painful burning sensation in Fallacy's back starts to work up again, though she bears through the pain and keeps a steady hand throughout the process. The end product depicts a field strewn with bodies, weapons, and discarded supplies, and a couple hidden Shardblade Swords should someone be able to find them among the ruins. The sun is low and casts the sky into a blood-red as if to mirror the carnage below. Execute opens up a red portal into this world but does not enter. Instead he opens up a white portal into Fallacy's Contract Painting and steps inside, followed by the artist and the remains of Yuri.
The world they enter is completely white and barren, except for a desk a few feet in front of them; in front of the chest are two normal wooden chairs, and behind it a swiveling office chair facing away from them. When they approach, the office chair swivels around to reveal its occupant, who is not a person in a suit but what appears to be a white cat. The cat appears normal outside of two long, hair-like extremities protruding out of the side of its face with yellow floating rings and ruby red eyes. "You want to sign a contract," says the cat without a change in expression. It tilts its head towards the pot containing Yuri, "You want to bring this man back, don't you? I can do that. In return, you will pay me with something of at least equal value. That sounds like a good contractual deal to me."

New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.

Grabbing Sir Maxwell Lorne, we go into a building close by the battle and observe. If the Italians, Germans, Midnight, or her accomplice drop any firearms, sneak over and grab them before sneaking into a building. Which building depends on priority:
1. Midnight
2. Midnight's Accomplice
3. German Troops
4. Italian Troops
5. Back to Lorne
-
((Is that one modern US Dollar, or one period US Dollar?))
-
((According to some research into inflation rates, a dollar in 1937 would equal $16.89 nowadays. So if it was one period dollar, it would be an okay amount of modern money, and quite a few pesetas. Sorry that didn't answer your question, but I felt curious.))
-
Execute says nothing, simply sighs, for a good minute or so.
He then turns to Fallacy, and motions toward the cat, "This was your idea," and then leaves without a second word.
Alright, time to get everything back in order while Fallacy messes around with a cat thing, first off, that freshwater bender is to be told to stop attempting to gather water and come back to base.
Next, several groups (Around a dozen Aztecs in each group) are to be sent to the battle aftermath painting world, for the purpose of gathering armour, weapons, and supplies, but they are not to attempt to engage any living entities, if they do see any that aren't just non-sapient animals, they are to run back and report to me, also, any Aztecs trained in construction are to come to me and taking materials from The Forest Of Abundance, are to try and repair as much damage to the mansion as they can with guidance from me if required (Hopefully getting a bonus from my 2+ to engineering).
While all this is going on, I'm going to go the the policemen, and ask to talk to their chief of police, or otherwise highest ranked officer.
-
((Sorry, but who's in the square right now?))
-
grab my pistol and keep shooting at Greatness. My insurgent aslo fires at greatness as well.
-
Fallacy mutters something: "I suppose it wouldn't be so easy, would it."
"Alright, I can do that. First of all... value is not a universal concept. It's possible for one culture to despise gold, and for another to treasure it. Thus, I need to know if you want me to pay in something you value, or in something I value."
Question asked.
-
((Is that one modern US Dollar, or one period US Dollar?))
6 Modern U.S. Dollars.
((Sorry, but who's in the square right now?))
Failbird and his German Soldier are to the West, Jaguar is stumbling around the street while the Dimasa Nationalist is in a building opposite her, and Greatness and Sir Lorne are further down the street.
-
Find a Fascist or something.
-
"Ahh, I don't know, there could be more, or that could be the last. We would be best getting into a safer position. We'll go around the buildings, hopefully we can find a back entrance."
Head around the backs of the buildings opposite to the one the insurgent is in, searching for a back entrance to use.
Soldier: follow Failbird

Fallacy mutters something: "I suppose it wouldn't be so easy, would it."

Question asked.
"The value of your offer will determine the value of my work. This is acceptable reciprocity."
-
"Hrm..." Cinder looked at the location that the noise came from, not that she could really see anything with the buildings and the fact that the Earth is round. "Either some disturbance has taken place, or it seems that the other Wikipedia-warriors have arrived..." she murmured to herself. "You say that this town used to have plenty of industry? Perhaps it's time for it to shine again."
Begin the New Age of Industrialization, even though I have no idea what it'd do.
-
"Excuse me. I smell an opportunity."
Rags to riches montage time! Fully embrace this New Age of Industrialization, and do whatever possible to get ahead of the competition. Sell patents based on the Glock's internals, develop spark plugs based on my Taser, introduce the Oldsmobile Rocket V8 engine early, just go ham on the timeline. Constantly reinvest and buy up competitors, though, employees and income are more important than cash.

Question asked.
"The value of your offer will determine the value of my work. This is acceptable reciprocity."
"That's not what I'm referring to. Suppose I offered you a ton of gold, but to me it was worthless. What I'm saying is that different people value things different amounts. So, do you want something I value or something you value?"
-
"... Look, you either unfuck this or I'll get God to smite you after I die."
Pray to the RNG that this doc does his job properly this time.

Who knew that the patron being of a dimension based on the principals contractual law would be so hard to work with?
-
"Hm."
"I hereby offer you: any physical thing you desire, provided:
1. I can paint it in a reasonable amount of time, i.e., [3 turns] or less.
2. Execute is willing to open the portal to said painting, allowing me to retrieve said thing.
3. I am physically capable of transporting said object.
4. Said object will not be immediately dangerous to me or anybody else who detects it in any way, nor will said danger make itself known within 10 years.
5. Taking the object will not expose me to such a danger as a result of another entity acting against its taking.
6. For any other reason, I may refuse to bring you the object. If this is the case, I will be obliged to fulfill this contract for a different physical item, still of your choice.
Are these terms acceptable?"
-
"Think about this dammit! This town is under fascist control, and if they hear gunfire every other fascist soldier around will come out and shoot us until we resemble swiss chese! I don't condone these mens' actions any more than you do, but we cannot risk getting involved! If you shoot these men I will have no choice but to leave you behind"
