Title: Wiki Wars Redux: CANCELLED
Post by: Person on April 25, 2017, 11:52:28 pm
This is a game of Wikipedia Article Warfare. Like any other version of Wikipedia Article Warfare, the goal of this game is to incapacitate all of the other players to the point where they are unable to continue. 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. Of course, there are potentially other viable methods. Included in said methods are imprisonment, as well as severe brain damage and mental trauma. Basically anything that damages to the 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.

As I've said before in older threads, the original idea for this sort of game belongs to TCM. I don't intend to compete with Greatness in terms of players in this one. I greatly enjoy the plot and world building they do in their game, but I think some of us at Bay12 might like another go at the classic mindless violence the original concept embodied. The champion always gets to be a returning fighter if they want.

Starting Area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_College,_Minuwangoda

Outside of President's College, Minuwangoda, 6 unusual people stand in an uneasy circle. This prestigious academy is located in the town of Minuwangoda, which is further located in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. This college located on an island nation is to be the starting point for the competition known as The Wiki Wars.

The first of our competitors is known as Enemy Post. They have few material resources with them; only the standard clothing and money given to all combatants. But beneath that simple exterior is a interesting set of abilities that prevent them from being marked as an average, ordinary person.

The next combatant goes by the name of Mallos. They are Head of the German Society of Montreal. Mallos is wearing uniform 21 of the Alaskan Aces, a Basketball team in the Philippine Basketball Association. They also hold a basketball in their arms, as well as a highly decorated mirror. Such a mirror is used in the tradition known as Ayeneh taudani.

Third is the head of Imazon, a non profit organization dedicated to conserving the Amazon Rain Forest. For this competition, they go by NRDL! Well, Wiki Wars is one way to promote an activist cause, that's for sure. They brought some interesting literature with them, as well as an old award winning Japanese film.

Next up is Ziizo. I've heard of culture warriors, but this is ridiculous! Their only asset is a rap-hiphop album by Mac Dre, no relation to the more famous Dr Dre. They have a great many skills though, and those could bring them to victory.

Fifth in our line up is Rautherdir. They own Ed Carpenter racing, and wear a Formula One Suit to show for it. Nearby is a vehicle that they have the keys for, a Dalarra DW12 Formula Racing Car! Sitting in the palm of their hand is a Zebra Dwarf Boa. They have the know how to care for such a creature, and they're a pretty good driver too. They also have a couple unusual but potentially powerful abilities at their disposal. If victory was based on the raw power of one's articles alone, they might be the winner.

Last but not least is OceanSoul! They are the owner of a Christian Broadcasting channel based in Illinois, WCFC-CA. In addition, they wear uniform number 25 of Dynamo Dresden, a German Association Football team. Like Mallos, they have an appropriate ball to suit their skills. Also in their possessions are a Copy of Trivial pursuit, and a letter of reprimand from the pope to be delivered to a church of their choosing.

They all know why they are here. These varied individuals wait patiently, and a bell tolls within the nearby building, marking the time as 7 am, the time that their battle is set to begin! What will they do to claim victory in this competition?

Note 1: Abilities do stack, but there's a limit to how high that stacking can go.
Note 2: If you have an item in your inventory based on a foreign language, you have knowledge of that language to go with it.
Note 3: There will be no more people spawning in during this round.
Note 4: Everyone has been given roughly 50 USD worth of the local currency, Sri Lankan Rupees. I made the number a bit more even for simplicity's sake. That, or whomever gave you that currency took a fee for their work in converting it. Your call. 1 USD is roughly 150 Sri Lankan Rupees at the time of this writing. Spend wisely!
Note 5: There is currently a barrier of sorts around the college. You must stay in the vicinity for at least one turn before you are free to go wherever you like. Feel free to ask for nearby locations, which I will use a map to find when possible.

Edit: Apparently I spelled Ziizo's name wrong. It is an easy mistake to make. This has been fixed.

Starting Area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_College,_Minuwangoda

Turn Order: Mallos, Enemy post, NRDL, OceanSoul, Ziizo, Rautherdir

Look for a vantage point to observe the others fighting relatively safely.

4: Mallos looks for around for a safe place to observe the fighting, and finds a nearby bush they can hide in. They escape safely. It isn't the most comfortable spot, but they can see what's going on.

Form tentacles and armor using my beard hair. Use these to defend against initial attacks.

8: Enemy post uses his new power over hair keratin to armor his face with his beard hair. He even gets that pair of tentacles he wanted, and practices controlling them.

Attack Ziizo with the heaviest book in my inventory, bash him in the face.

2vs7: NRDL examines the pair of door stoppers they have in their possession. America in Vietnam is massive, with about 560 pages. The Dutch Medical encyclopedia has more than double that, with about 1250 pages. The medical encyclopedia probably has more immediately valuable knowledge, but when it comes to head smashing this isn't even a contest.

Having made their decision, they raise the Pharmacology guide, and try to smash it over Ziizo's head. They miss spectacularly, and the heavy tome's weight sends it flying from their hands with a massive *WHAM* when it hits the ground. The book hasn't sustained any damage. On the other hand, the concrete floor hasn't fared as well.

Attack NRDL while breakdancing

9+1vs9: Ziizo goes for a break dancing attack, spinning and jumping around! NRDL is almost able to avoid the assault, but Ziizo's Dancing expertise pulls through! NRDL has a spinning kick hit their right leg. It isn't an especially powerful attack, but Ziizo has drawn first blood!

Announce a challenge in a game of Trivial Pursuit, where the winner gets to kill the losers without resistance! A Shadow Pursuit, if you will! All those playing the game are not to be harmed by those outside the game, lest they forfeit themselves unto the harmed, and those playing the game cannot harm eachother until the game is done.

7: OceanSoul announces a challenge! Trivial Pursuit to the death! Shadow Pursuit, he calls it! He explains the rules, but doesn't receive any response.

Get into the Dallara DW12 and start it

9+2: Rautherdir dashes into their vehicle, practically vaulting into the cockpit. They've probably done this many times before. With little delay, they take the keys out of a pocket, and start up the vehicle! The engine roars in anticipation. With that, the barrier around the school fades, and the combatants are free to go anywhere they like.

As of now, the barrier is down. Feel free to go wherever you like. If you want to know if something is nearby, feel free to ask. The nearest hospital will probably be relevant information, for instance. Remember that Sri Lanka is an island nation, so it'll probably be difficult to leave. However, Wiki Warriors do have a nearly universal passport, so that's a thing.

Title: Re: Wiki Wars Redux: Round 1, Turn 2: First Blood
Post by: Person on April 27, 2017, 04:26:16 pm
Firstly, I'd like to state that articles from other wiki(like TvTropes) might be a thing in future rounds. Potentially Wiki Point related.

Secondly, believe it or not I wasn't expecting you to actually sit down and play trivial pursuit. Due to the obvious issues that running a trivia game on the internet poses, I'll run the game as follows.

First, all players will roll to determine the category of their question. I'll run two category attempts per turn per player. Note that rolling a category you've already answered correctly is possible, and is essentially a wasted turn for the game in universe. If a player lands on the hub, I'll automatically choose the best category for them that they don't have a piece of yet.

After category selection, they'll roll a die to determine if they get the question from that category right. If they have any relevant skills to that category, they'll get a bonus on the die roll.  There's also a rare chance they can get a piece of their choosing free during category selection. In the endgame, the final question needed to win the game will use that player's worst category.

If you're still okay with the luck element all that involves, don't mind me. The whole game will basically be automated, and I won't be tracking player positions on a simulated board. That'd be far too much work. Also, you'll need to tell me who goes first, as that player will have their question evaluated first, potentially giving them an advantage. It will go like this: P1 question 1, P2 question 1, P1 question 2, P2 question 2. This scales with increased player count as you might expect. Given that neither of you are likely to concede such an advantage, I'll probably roll to see who player one is.

Play Trivial Pursuit with Enemy Post. Ask if the people not playing are OK with us doing this. It should take a few turns.
(Hoo boy, here we go. What are the odds either of these two follow through and willingly die? Especially with OceanSoul's second ability...)

The two roll dice to determine who goes first, and tie. They roll again! OceanSoul wins the roll to go first!

They land on a category headquarters, getting the Arts & Literature piece for free.

7: Enemy post is given a history question, which they answer correctly.

1: OceanSoul lands on a science and nature question, and they get it wrong.

6: Enemy post also gets a question from that category, and they get it right.

OceanSoul lands on an Arts&Literature space, which is useless to them since have the piece.

Enemy post also gets a repeat space, wasting their turn.

Scores:
P1: OceanSoul: Arts&Literature
P2: Enemy Post: History, Science&Nature

(6 is the minimum roll to succeed in this sub game. In retrospect, this is going to take more than "a few turns", so I'll be making it 3 turns per player instead.)

Follow Ziizo inside the college. Swing again with the book if I can catch up.
retreat inside the College

1: NRDL is ready for action before ziizo is, but in their haste they trip over the pharmacology manual!

3: They land on their face, but their makeshift armor absorbs almost all of the damage.

4: They pry their book(and them self) off the ground, and get ready to follow in Pursuit.

3: ziizo retreats inside the college, though they stumble over NRDL's book a bit on the way. There appear to be some classes going on right now.

Leave the college campus hurriedly. Look for a weapons dealer in the local area, if there is one.
Drive towards the nearest store

Based on google maps, there are two exits, one north, and one southwest. The north exit diverges into two paths, one to the east, which doesn't go much of anywhere but eventually leads to a shopping mall. The west path here and the southeast exit both essentially lead to the same place after a bit of divergence: Ekala-kotadeniyawa road(Which is also labeled Colombo road for some reason, and I'll be calling it that because it is shorter and easier to remember). The nearest stores in this area are as follows. South is Mariyo Food, which is of course a restaurant. Further south is probably several turns of driving before anything noteworthy shows up. North on the road is Damro Showroom, an appliance store. Next to the north are a restaurant, hotel/bakery combo, no less than three different hardware stores, as well as two other grocery stores and a pharmacy before you get a choice of heading east or further north.

6: Mallos leaves the campus via the north exit, and ends up at Damro Showroom, an appliance store that specializes in home and garden items. They pass this up and continue on to Liyanage Trade Centre & Nippon Paint CCM, a hardware store. They don't see any weapon dealers, but maybe they can make their own?

(The nearest firearm store I can find to Minuwangonda(which is just a fairly small province) is halfway across the island, near the coast. Weird, as gun laws don't seem absurdly strict in Sri Lanka. Perhaps more strict than the United States, but not by all that much. They're no Britain, at any rate. If you keep looking I might generate one out of thin air, as not even google is all seeing evidently.)

9+2: Rautherdir also makes a drive to the nearest store from the north exit, Damro Showroom. Perhaps they'd like to continue driving? The store is a bit beyond their budget, probably. Maybe they can find a cheap toaster?

Attack Ziizo with my bare hands, using my basic of knowledge of medicine to apply force to his vital areas.

ziizo waits patiently in ambush for the book bearing battler to arrive.

8+1v1: NRDL turns around a corner to find a whirling tempest of break dancing power! They eat a massive kick straight in their right shoulder, making a sickening CRACK that their medical expertise tells them is a broken bone.

2+2v=6: After much thought about the human body's weaknesses, NRDL goes for an attack, but misses! That knowledge doesn't help them much if they don't land a hit.

Keep looking.

5: Mallos keeps walking down the road, looking for any gun dealers in the vicinity. They take a look down a nearby alley, and think they see someone that might be selling such a thing. The legality of the sale seems questionable though.

Drive to the pharmacy and buy a first-aid kit.

2+2: After a short drive, they make their way into the police station. They leave their snake in the car for now, and walk in with the equivalent of 50 dollars.

9: A high quality kit immediately strikes their eye, and there's a pretty good deal on it too. First aid instructions, good tools, gloves, medicine application, sanitizing pads, bandages, gauze pads. Even a little bit of painkillers. This kit has everything they could have thought of, and a few things they didn't. It is a little bit bulky, but since they have a car to keep it in that's not as big of a concern as it would be for most.

They take it to the counter. "That will be 3000 rupees."

A hefty price, but they'll still have more than half their money left. The choice is up to them. Take the deal? Try to haggle a little? Look for a cheaper kit?

Continue playing Trivial Pursuit.
Continue playing.Ask every other wiki-warrior "Are you OK with our deal and everything?"

All the other warriors have taken to the streets and gone inside the college. OceanSoul's question goes unanswered.

5: OceanSoul lands on a Science and Nature question. 5: They do not get it right. 

7: Enemy post lands on a category headquarters. Their free piece is Entertainment.

3: OceanSoul gets a history question. 1+1: Despite their bonus to politics being somewhat relevant to the category, it apparently didn't help this time. 

6: Enemy post lands on Sports & Leisure. 2: Their driving bonus unfortunately isn't as relevant as they would like it to be.

7: OceanSoul gets to land of category headquarters this time, getting that pesky Sports and Leisure piece for free.

8: Enemy post lands on the Hub, choosing Arts&Literature. 5+2: Turns out their literature question was related to the bible. Well, it is an influential book after all.

Scores:
P1: OceanSoul: Arts&Literature, Sports&Leisure
P2: Enemy Post: Entertainment, History, Science&Nature, Arts&Literature

Enemy Post is pulling ahead in this contest. I think I might slow it down to 2 moves per turn now.

Turn Order:  Ziizo, NRDL

Break my copy of young black brotha in two and stab NRDL with the pieces.
Tackle this breakdancing bastard to the ground and start head butting him.

7v1 ziizo metaphorically breaks open the cd case, then literally breaks the cd itself over their knee. The breakdancer then violently shoves the shards towards their foe's eyes. The book battler is still of balance from the last attack, and is apparently powerless to stop this one. The shards strike true. This is extremely painful for their target, and gets a lot of blood on their hands and clothes.

7-?(Blind, Extreme Pain)v5 NRDL flails wildly, trying and failing to tackle or grab their assailant. But they only grab the air, and fall to the floor.

6-3: NRDL dies from their mortal wound. Well, that was fast.

Their first new article and the first new article overall is... well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_physics

(I couldn't make this sort of thing up if I tried. I probably should have asked what sex people wanted their characters to be beforehand, or just assigned at random. I based it on profile info where possible, but that was 2 out of 6 players. Ah well, mistakes were made.)

Take the deal. Put the first aid kit into the car and drive back towards the college.

4: Rautherdir takes the deal, exchanging their money for the kit.

9+2: They stuff the kit into the front seat, securing themself as well as their snake. Then they make a rather uneventful but speedy drive back towards the college. They'll pull into the north entrance at the start of next turn.

Proceed to purchase illegal firearms. Something small-arms and concealable, preferably.

6: "You're one of those Wiki Warriors eh? Well, I guess I could sell to ya. Don't tell anyone about this place though."

The man in a mask and hood holds out an arm, pulling open his coat to reveal a selection of firearms. You look for something easily concealable...

8: "You want concealment? How about this sawn-off shotgun? But if you want something more conventional, I've got this pistol as well. Whatever you pick, I'll throw in some spare ammo."

He shows you the goods.

Sawn-off Shotgun 2/2: 7500 rubies.
32 Revolver 5/5: 6000 rubies.

As is, you can only afford one of these items. You note that he is obviously armed, so robbing him may not be the best plan. Unless you can wheel one heck of a deal, you're only leaving with one firearm. That'd still be one more than everyone else has of course.

"Before you even ask, I only take cash."

Continue playing. Yell out loud, ""If you have any objections to our game whatsoever, speak now or forever hold your peace!"
Continue to play, using my hair tentacles to move my piece.
"Hey, Arts and Literature. I could use that piece. Thank you for suggesting this less destructive outlet for our duel. Those others seem to be nearing the same end as us, but much more painfully."
*Looking over to the airport battle*
"Who do you think will die first, the one with the books or the dancer?"
(Airport? Those two are inside the college. You can't see them from your location.)

OceanSoul lands on Entertainment. With their bonus to cartoons, they easily get it right.

Enemy Post lands on history again.

OceanSoul gets another chance to answer a science and nature question! It was a 50 50 decision in the end, and they just barely botch it.

Enemy post lands on entertainment again. The dice were not kind to them this turn. OceanSoul is gaining on them, and both have more than half the pieces needed to win. Enemy post's tentacle shenanigans are a bit unnerving though.

Scores:
P1: OceanSoul: Entertainment, Arts&Literature, Sports&Leisure

Background Roll: 10

A bell tolls in the college, and students leave their classrooms. The corpse of NRDL is a rather shocking sight, and most of them begin to steer clear of the area for now. A couple are taking pictures though...

Sawed-off it is. Get back to college after concealing my weapon beneath my clothes.

"Good choice. If you happen to find any more cash, you know where to come."

7: Mallos conceals the weapon as best as they can. It shouldn't be visible to anyone else, but they can still draw it quickly if needed. They start running back to the college after seeing Rautherdir speed past them. They'll arrive at the start of next turn.

steal NRDL money then ask the students for the location of a shed or a music room or an art classroom.

ziizo digs through NRDL's pockets, doubling his cash.

2: You try to ask for the locations of those rooms, but the blood on your clothes is quite offputting. Everyone is too scared to give you directions.

Drive through Enemy Post and OceanSoul
Make some nailbats for the both of us.
OceanSoul did not post an action, so I'm going to assume they help with the carpentry plan.

OceanSoul and Enemy post decide to postpone their game to team up. They don't have any building materials for their plan, so they start looking for some.

2+2:The two storm off and grab a wooden bench that was nearby. It even has nails in it already!

8+2+2: They have to pry it apart first, and do so with great speed and efficiency!

7+2+2: The two of them work together, and build a good looking pair of nail bats. Should be painful.

Finally, Rautherdir storms into the college with their engine roaring! They immediately drive towards the Trivia Duo!

7+2vs 9&7: OceanSoul barely gets out of the way, only taking a grazing hit that sends them rolling on the ground. They get a bunch of bruises for their trouble.

Enemy post doesn't get out of the way in time, and Rautherdir's vehicle smashes into him! His chest lights up with pain, and he feels quite a few things break. Those were probably his ribs. He is sent flying away, and lands on the ground mostly unharmed. He'll probably have trouble getting up.

Pick up some decently weighted objects to use as throwing weapons like large rocks and whatnot. Stuff them in my pockets and enter college, doing my best to track down the trivia duo.

1: Mallos arrives back at the college, and decides to look for some heavy objects he might be able to use. He finds a huge, pointy looking boulder by stubbing his foot on it while going around a corner! OUCH! Mallos can now see the battle going on in the plaza.

Convince the kids to help me trough the power of Hip Hop rap. Then Offer the kids 15000 rupees to whoever sets enemy post in fire, killing him isn't needed but burning his hair is.
(The location is a college you know. I can only assume that means the students are a bit older than you're imagining. Eh, to some people an 18 year old is "still a kid" so whatever.)

2+3=5

ziizo busts out a hip hop rap to explain himself to the kids. They're attentive. This sort of thing doesn't usually happen. He then offers a reward to the first person to light Enemy post on fire! Only one person seems interesting in trying to do so. The guy takes out some matches and asks for a bit more direction. Mallos may need to do a little more convincing, or at least perhaps do some strategy talks?

Snipe Rauthendir with a kicked football! Then start finding high or heavily protected ground (like within the building) that the car wouldn't reach without crashing through the wall.

Get out of the car and Inflict Thrombolysis on Enemy Post

5: Rautherdir steps out of his car, the Zebra Dwarf Boa coiled around one of his arms. With a moment of focus, he stares down Enemy post intent on giving him the disease of Thrombolysis! Enemy post's injuries worsen as the blood clots in his body begin undergo lysis! The beard warrior will probably need special medical help to treat his injuries now.

3+2v4: OceanSoul retaliates with a kick, sending the hexagon covered ball careening towards the racer! The ball barely clips him, bouncing off of his left arm! He feels the skin welt up a little.

8: Enemy post chooses a different tactic, continuing to bolster his defenses via beard hair. Their hair keeps growing, and a makeshift cloak of rough beard hair covers their entire upper body, arms, and face. The armor gets a lot thicker too, so it should absorb more damage.

While his trivia opponent tries to get the racer to surrender himself, Enemy post charges at Rautherdir with his nail bat raised!

4v4+3: Enemy post finds his new weapon unwieldy, and his wild strikes miss Rautherdir, who keeps jumping away and dodging them!

7: His injuries remain mostly the same despite his new medical condition and high physical activity.

1+2v6: OceanSoul tries to use his legal expertise to get Rautherdir to give up! Unfortunately, he remembers that Rautherdir immediately leapt into his car as the round began. It is possible that he never even heard the rules, let alone agreed to them. He was also not present when OceanSoul finalized them. Knowing that they are probably technically in the wrong makes it hard for them to sound convincing, so Rautherdir ignores the legal barrage, instead focusing on staying safe from more conventional attacks. Besides which, there doesn't seem to be anyone here to actually enforce such a contract...

Hidden Roll: Instead of continuing his legal attack, OceanSoul hopes for a miracle to cure his ally! Despite his devout faith his prayers do not seem to be enough, for he detects no change in his fellow man. Enemy post does have his morale slightly raise, as he recognizes the prayer his ally made for him.

Rautherdir stays on the move, avoiding the deadly looking weapon his bearded foe is swinging around.

4-1+2v3: Suddenly, Mallos comes out of nowhere dribbling a basket ball! His B-Ball experience seem to help them move in a way that reduces his lingering foot pain. He isn't really able to distract the bat swinging foe with his moves in his current state, so he decides to pull out the shotgun early!

9v1+3+1: In a single fluid motion, Mallos catches his basketball and holds it under his left shoulder. While he does, he simultaneously raises the sawn-off shotgun to his right hand! He pulls the trigger, opting to fire both barrels at his hairy target! Enemy post is completely unprepared and unable to evade the attack, and the armor covering his left arm is shredded apart, offering little resistance! The arm is ripped apart and flies clean off from the force of the attack! A crimson stream pours to the ground from Enemy post's left shoulder! He drops his bat from the pain!

Take the interested student to the school kitchen and teach him how to build Molotov cocktails.
Then just tell him enemy post is the guy with hair armor fighting just outside the school.

9: Ziizo brings his new ally to the kitchen and shows him how to make Molotov cocktails! The ingredients there aren't the best, but he is able to stealthily acquire the supplies he needs to get started free of charge. By the end of his demonstration, the duo have created two firebombs a piece. He instructs the student(who introduces himself as Lahiru) about his target, and the college student heads on his way to fight some hairy guy. Maybe Ziizo should follow him to make sure he does the job right...

Background Roll: 5

Nothing much happens at president's college for now. Ziizo becomes aware that the janitors have started working early, which makes sense given the mess he made.

As an aside, for this round my ruling on follower kills is that if a loyal NPC kills a player, that NPC's "owner" gets the article. This probably isn't an issue in this round, but in the future it could be a little overpowered. Of course, overpowered things are practically what wiki wars is all about.

I probably don't need to keep putting that there, but it has been a reasonably handy reference/reminder for me at least. Dunno about everyone else. Anyway, this looks to be an action packed turn, so buckle your metaphorical seat belts!

Form a hair arm, use it to snatch shotgun away.
go outside behind Lahiru and use disturbing jiggle in enemy post.
Reload shotgun. Fire at Enemy post, aiming for his legs.
Sneak up on Mallos and nail-bat him!

7-2+1: Fighting through the pain, Enemy post grows himself a replacement arm out of hair where his old one used to be! This slows the bleeding slightly.

8-2+1v9: Following up that success, he lunges with his new arm, try to grab the shotgun from his Enemy! It is a brutal back and forth struggle, but Mallos is able to wrench his weapon free and start reloading it!

8-2+1=He remains conscious for now, but his injuries worsen somewhat. His morale boost wears off though.

5v8: Seeing that Mallos is occupied with his ally, OceanSoul runs around to the shotgunner's back! However, he is seen! His sneak attack becomes a regular one!

9v3: The nail bat strikes Mallos in the right leg! A bone shatters from the force of the impact! The nails embed in his leg, leaving a whole bunch of nasty little holes! OceanSoul pulls his weapon back to reclaim it, and gets ready for another strike.

8-1-1v7-2: Mallos finishes stuffing a pair of shells into his weapon just barely, and fires off both barrels as fast as he can. The weapon is pointed at Enemy post's left leg when he does! Enemy post evades most of the attack with a small sideways hop, but the pellets that do hit mangle the unarmored limb!

4-1: Mallos feels the pain in his leg grow further, but remains firm and resolute. His bleeding worsens.

7v9-2: Ziizo tries to use his new ability on Enemy post, but doesn't notice any tangible result! Men do tend to have SOME breast tissue, but it is likely only the somewhat corpulant will have enough for him to work with. The ability goes on cooldown regardless.

9v6-3:  Lahiru raises his molotov, throwing it in a perfect arc to hit Enemy post and no one else! The hairy fighter is covered in flames, and his armor only serves to fuel the flame. The heat is simply too much for his already heavily wounded body, and he collapses into a burning heap.

Enemy post is dead! OceanSoul wins Trivial Pursuit by default, and Ziizo gets another article! And here it is!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbour's_map_turtle

Ziizo feels a strange animal sensation, and sees a peculiar turtle in his mind's eye. He now has the power to change into that form and back.

Get back into my car and drive away towards the north and then towards the east.

2+2: Panting from exhaustion, Rautherdir takes this opportunity to run back to his car, get inside, and start it. It takes him awhile to orient the car correctly, but after that he is on his way east from the northern exit. Is he heading to the mall, or perhaps looking for something else?

Background Roll: 4

Business continues as usual at the college, and classes begin once more after an unusually long break. Lahiru walks back to Ziizo, and asks for his payment.

Ziizo starts handing the cash to Lahiru, but before they can do anything else, they are rudely interrupted!

4+4v2-1: Mallos hoists the massive mirror off his back, and throws it as hard as he can at Ziizo! This probably isn't how the tradition is meant to be performed, but it is an exceedingly effective attack nonetheless. The massive mirror shatters upon impact, sending many shards throughout his body, particularly his legs and head! The attack is very nearly fatal, but the shards mostly avoid the vital areas of his head.

4+2v4: OceanSoul has a spark of inspiration, and uses their break clause ability on the deal between Lahiru and Ziizo! The deal didn't say what happened to the money after Lahiru gets it, so there's some lee way for it to work in OceanSoul's favor! Compelled by law, Lahiru gets the rest of the money from his employer and throws it over to OceanSoul, who catches it! The Sri Lankan student isn't fully aware of what he has done until after the fact!

3-1v3-3: After a thorough economic and physical beating, Ziizo is quite annoyed! The raise their molotov cocktail, and throw it at Mallos! Damn, they forgot to actually light the fuse! Nonetheless, Mallos is completely unable to avoid the glassy projectile due to his injured leg! The bottle smashes into his upper body, breaking on impact and coating him in alcohol! The bottle itself does little in the way of damage, most of it being absorbed by his opponent's clothes. Well at least if he's lit on fire later on he'll be a bit more flammable.

4v1-3: Lahiru follows up by throwing their last molotov at Mallos as well! Perhaps he's hoping for more payment? Anyway, Mallos fails to avoid the second bottle as well, and it impacts into his left leg! A couple glass shards embed themselves in the body part, but more importantly, Mallos is engulfed in flame!

7-3: Mallos has his injuries get worse as the fire burns away at his body. He's still alive though, if only barely.

Drive to the mall

6+2: Rautherdir drives east down Ellangala road at a decent pace in his sports car, reaching an a 3 way intersection that heads north and south. The signage points to there being a mall to the south, so they head that way. On the way, they pass by a guest house. Finally, he arrives at Sujeewa Stores, a small shopping mall. He should be able to find a variety of items for sale here. What does he want to look for?

The break clause did operate in a favorable manner to you OceanSoul. As such, I let it through without notifying you to change your action. Sorry, but I'm not allowing it to be immediately fatal like that. On the bright side, your monetary supply just tripled, which is probably a greater benefit than anything else you could have done. I probably should have given the ability a shorter cool down, especially considering that this game probably won't last another 10 turns.

As an aside, I'm starting to think my dice hate people's legs. A bit worrying, considering dice are well known as a caltrop like hazard. Also, glass is probably the most lethal weapon in this game as of yet. How odd.

Even thought the skill didn't work the way I intended, I still sorta expected to spend part of the turn trying to bash Ziizo. Oh well. Can I use christianity + political cartoons to be unaffected by the Molotov, by logic of being a good Christian that ignores the influence of alcohol via conscious will and virtue while those around me consume themselves in flame amid the Prohibition?

You can try. Might not work though. You'll probably be able to fight while doing so. Also yeah abilities tend to be fairly time consuming. On the bright side, you're still relatively unharmed, unlike every other player in the area. I'd have just had you fight normally instead of use the ability if people were actively attacking you.

Look for binoculars and a knife in the store.

Inflict Thrombolysis is off cool down now. Yeah abilites come back when the turn begins.

1: Curses! The mall seems to be completely out of stock of both those items. Furthermore, the mall is filled with a veritable swarm of people! After awhile of being bumped around, you check your pockets and find that some of your money is missing!

Choke ziizo. The flames should add extra damage if I manage to strangle him too, right?

9-3v7-3: The fire burning around him only adds to Mallos' rage! He tackles the man that lit him on fire to the ground and starts wrapping his hands around their neck! The flames slowly spread to his victim, catching a few threads of his clothing alight. This does not yet cause any notable harm.

Bolstered by faith, OceanSoul prepares to evade any fire attacks from his opponents. However, there are none yet coming. Instead he moves on the offensive!

8v9-2-1-1: Seeing his opponent down for the count, he raises his nail bat and brings it down on chest of the two time killer! The man's rib cage absorbs most of the atack, making a stunning CRACK! Ziizo begins to see his eyesight fade to black, and knows that he can only save himself in one way! He knows he has no time to launch an attack with his remaining Molotov, so instead...

8-?: With a single minded focus, Ziizo wishes with all his being to become a turtle! He does so with aplomb, taking all of his assets with him! He no longer feels Mallos' hands around his neck! In the confusion, he starts running as fast as he can to find a place to hide! He finds a great spot, and no one sees his escape. What now?

3: Lahiru flees the battlefield and starts to return to class.

Background Roll: 4

If the fighting was going on indoors, a fire alarm would have triggered by now. The dirt ground where most of the fighting is taking place is not the ideal location for fire to spread, so there is not much call for worrying about such things.

Thrombolysis is the breakdown of blood clots via medication, and while the act of doing it can prevent complications, it requires that whoever it occurs to has blood clots to break down. Additionally, Thrombolysis is an act, not a condition, so it makes little sense how one can be inflicted with it. Thus, I believe that it should have no effect on me.

(Thrombolysis normally requires blood clots to work on yes. In fact, I made a hidden roll to see how effective this instance of it would be last turn because of that fact. OceanSoul rolled pretty high, so it is a rather minor case, and will wear off soon unless new injuries occur. Note that I'm not rolling for any of this lawyering, and had already decided all of this in advance. As for rewards other than the title and satisfaction... Well, just wait and see.)

Rautherdir decides he has had quite enough of this awful treatment, and uses his final trump card!

ERUPTION!

6: The ground quakes with volcanic fury, and an earthquake of immense proportions strikes the President's College. All students and staff are roused from their seats, confused and unaware of what is about to occur. All around the island, seismographs pick up unprecedented activity.

With a sudden *BANG* an immense amount of rock flies upwards outside the college as the earth cracks apart! A huge crater opens in the vicinity! Magma from the earth's mantle bursts forth, raining all over the entire area!

Survival Rolls:

OceanSoul: 7
Rautherdir: 10
Civilians: 1
Rautherdir's Car: 7

The Music Room at the college is relatively unscathed despite the magmatic explosion that occured outside. OceanSoul is only tripped up slightly by the earthen catastrophe until a couple small fragments of the wall break off and dig into his upper body! The rest of the college is buried under over a meter of lava, and most if not all of the other people in the vicinity die instantaniously! Rautherdir's car does not survive the immense heat, and begins to melt into slag! All of the dead battlers have been engulfed by the lava as well, consuming their bodies!

Now, OceanSoul takes their opportunity to retaliate!

1v9-4: OceanSoul trips over an old drum set that fell over in the chaos, smashing their face to the floor! Ouch!

Rautherdir Wound Worsening Roll: 1-2: Unfortunately, this is when Rautherdir's body finally gives up the ghost, and he collapses in a pool of blood. As he falls, his snake tries in vain to escape, but is crushed by the fall. Evidently, his mortal wound didn't react well to all that shaking. OceanSoul gets one final article before this round comes to a close. Here it is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castleknock

OceanSoul feels a deed to an old ruined castle appear in their hand, and is whisked away towards it in a burst of light. He feels all the ails the competition gave him cured, and notes that he is now sitting in a somewhat opulent throne. A fitting place for the New Wiki Wars Champion!

As he contemplates his victory, a small silvery portal appears nearby. Out of it comes a tall, odd figure in a grey robe. You cannot see their face or any other features, as they are wreathed in shadow. The figure begins to speak in a monotone rhythm impossible to adequately describe.

"Congratulations on your victory, OceanSoul. At this point, you have two options."

"The first is that you can retire in this world, and be granted whatever you desire. You will live in luxury, and be given almost anything you wish within reason. You will not be held accountable for any of the damage done or lives lost in this competition."

"The second is that you continue keep fighting and defend your championship, bringing along all your rewards to a second Wiki War. Should you claim victory once more, the rewards may be even greater."

"If you choose the former option, you may still watch an alternate version of yourself enter the Wiki Wars, and live vicariously as they fight in your stead. You are under no obligation to keep fighting, but the Wiki Wars tend to draw in a particular sort of person, and I have high hopes that you are among that sort. Feel free to take your time on this decision, as the next war will not begin for some time."

"Before you make your choice, there is but one more thing to do."

A digital scoreboard appears in the room for all those inside it to see, as well as all of those watching from outside.

"Now that the first round of Wiki Wars Redux is over, it is time to dole out our prizes. These will of course be in the form of the Wiki Points which were alluded to earlier. So, let's examine the scores."

Spoiler: Scoreboard (click to show/hide)

"As you can see, Mallos and Ziizo were tied for death placing. This altered scoring somewhat. As is probably no surprise, Ziizo amassed quite the pool of points. You are probably wondering what use a dead man could have for points. Worry not. Some mortals remember more than others, but these flesh sacks are not the ones that will recieve the points. They shall go to a higher power, the ones who were pulling their strings. Ah, but I'm rambling. I don't expect you to fully grasp the situation. Suffice to say that you no longer controlled your own fate the moment you signed that waiver... Anyway, this concludes the first battle of many. If you have any questions... I might not answer them."

The defeated: All except Rautherdir are consumed by magma. No bodies to loot here anymore.
Spoiler: Rautherdir (click to show/hide)

That roll would not normally be sufficient to create a new volcano. However, there appeared to be no nearby volcanoes for this ability to work on. As such, I was left with no choice in the matter.

This paragraph is mostly to OceanSoul. Basically, choice one is that you get added to a high scores table in the first post and can start a new character. You will keep your Wiki Points, but nothing else. Choice two is as it seems, everything carries over. Most sane people would probably not pick option 2 if in character to be honest. Essentially, here's the situation.

The person you controlled in game was someone who unknowingly volunteered to become a host to something otherwise formless, but no doubt horrifying: A Bay12 forum poster.

So, after OceanSoul makes their choice, I'll show you what you can do with all those points you just got. Signups begin the moment I post the table you can buy stuff from. You'll know what I mean. The next round should have 8 players, and not all of them have to be returners. As before, it'll be first come first served.

Choice 1, since I don't want to have a very unfair advantage in subsequent battles. Maybe I'll go Choice 2 if I win again.

"So you'll be retiring then? Well then, I don't think the audience needs to know all the sordid details and paperwork involved. Enjoy the rest of your peaceful life."

OceanSoul feels his conciousness leave the fortunate soul he had controlled, and enter another person in another world who recently signed the appropriate paperwork.

Once more, with feeling then.

Here's what you all can do with your points. Reroll related purchases will be applied after article assignment, so don't pick them yet. Or do. I'll auto reroll the article I think you'll least want to keep. Keep in mind that by choosing to reroll after article assignment, you actually get to pick what to get rid of. Some purchases can be made even if you don't join the round in time. Troper Time MUST be chosen with your initial sign up here and now if you want to use it.

Spoiler: Purchase Table (click to show/hide)

In addition to the above, points can be gambled if you are not an active participant. Just say that you're wagering a specific amount of points on a specific player anytime during or before the first two turns and you'll be set to go. Payout will be based on the number of participants in that round.

Just about done generating articles, but need one more person to round this match out. After, I'll show everyone what they got, and there'll be one last chance to reroll. Ziizo, I'm assuming you're not getting Troper Time based on the fact that you didn't ask for it when I was very specific about when it could be bought, so I generated your articles accordingly. I think you'll like what you got though even if you wanted Tropes instead of articles.

Articles have all been assigned. This is your last chance to spend points before the game begins. Also NRDL I swear I didn't plan on making you a boxer, it just happened that way. Sometimes random chance really is a beautiful thing. For those of you who didn't get in, you may now begin gambling. Some of the articles handed out here feel a little overpowered, but it is always possible to ally with other players, even if only temporarily. OceanSoul did so to great effect last match. Besides, overpowered stuff is part and parcel of Wiki Wars as a whole.

Shouldn't have pointed that out. I have some decent skills for offense initially, but I could use a physical, reliable weapon. Then again, others among us could use physical weapons. So, I'll spend a point on the arena being Yosemite National Park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park).

Post by: Person on May 29, 2017, 12:10:10 pm
Yellowstone Park would have been an exceptionally deadly arena last round for obious reasons. :P Still, yosemite eh? Well, no one has messaged me any point actions(that's allowed by the way), so I guess that'll be the arena. I think I can do a pretty good job of conveying that location at any rate. I'll probably give it a couple more days. If you're ready now and haven't posted, feel free to say so and I'll get this show on the road.

Edit As an aside, I was originally going to make 50-move rule give the following ability. 50 turn rule: If you survive for 50 turns, you are automatically declared champion.

I probably don't have to say why I changed my mind. :P While an interesting idea, it would be completely unfeasible, and thus a waste of an article. If for some bizarre reason you actually want that version Enemy post, I'll give it to you instead.

Starting Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park)
Map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Yosemite_National_Park_Map.png)

Welcome back to Wiki Wars Redux, loyal viewers and new fans alike! We begin with a couple more contestants than last time, so that should definitely shake things up!

This time, our starting area is the scenic Yosemite National Park! Selected by the winner of our last round, Yosemite is a world renowned park visited by over 4 million people each year! Covering over seven hundred thousand acres of California land, this place will serve as our second battleground for Wikipedia Wars Redux.

Now then, let's move our focus to Glacier Point, which overlooks much of the park. Our contested are currently due to appear there at any given moment!

As we look down at the base of Glacier point where Yosemite Conservation Heritage Center sits, it appears we have have our first Warrior!

A small portion of air atop the chilly viewpoint erupts in heat and bursts in to flame. After a few moments the smoke clears, and our first Warrior becomes apparent! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdJwxGJ5GEg)

Though clad in relatively ordinary clothes, he looks just a bit... off on further inspection. A small, barely visible set of horns of peeks out through his hair. Strapped to his back is an oddly human looking cardboard cutout. The man eyes the arts & crafts supplies stored in their various pockets, and nods with confidence. This Warrior goes by the name of OceanSoul. That's right, this is our returning champion, and the one who selected this starting area. Was their choice based on some sort of strategy, or do they just really love Yosemite? Time will tell.

OceanSoul has decided to forgo the champion's advantage and start fresh with a new set of 5 articles. Breaking from tradition, they are our first Warrior to have a sponsor other than Wikipedia. Their sponsorship is from TvTropes instead! How will their alternative articles fare in this battle royale? Let's find out.

Here comes our next Warrior! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW3UoN15fPs) Climbing up the side of the mountain, its NRDL! He looks really pleased with his articles, and punches the air with his boxing glove held high as he reaches the summit! He examined the odorous fruit bagged at his waste, and juggles the soccer ball at his feet to pass the time as the rest of the Warriors begin to arrive.

Next up, here comes Rautherdir, driving up the road in a big truck with a loudspeaker on the back! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAKksqKR3pI) Our runner up last round, Rautherdir is one to watch. As with OceanSoul, this time around they are sponsored by TvTropes. Arriving at his destination, he stops the vehicle and stows away the keys in one of his pockets. Slowly but surely, he begins to make his way to the others.

Our next contestant is rolling up in a fancy sports car! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4N74EdxwRM) After parking nearby Rautherdir's truck, the driver slowly but surely exits the vehicle. Exiting the car behind him are a pair of fighting dogs on a leash! This contestant is a new one, and they go by the name of NAV! Backing up their assets are an impressive set of football skills. Will he be able to keep his dogs under control? They could prove a great asset in this competition.

Marching to the peak of Glacier point is a Warrior clad in military uniform! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcSIgxGm1-I) This is the new and improved Enemy post, who carries an Enfield Revolver at his hip and years of british royal navy experience in his mind. In his right hand, he holds a bass guitar of great quality. In his left, a script to a fairly popular play. In an ideal world, he would never need to draw the gun, but this is probably not an ideal world.

Sailing down Merced River in a canoe is another new Warrior! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7pypOQYppM) Signed under the name DolosusDoleus, they carry some interesting wares potentially for sale. It is yet unknown why a mercantile type such as them would come to the Wars, but fame and fortune would certainly be as good a reason as any. Nearing their destination, they tie the canoe to a nearby tree trunk, and start hiking to the summit of Glacier Point.

Joining the more military minded Enemy post is another returning Warrior! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x_eTEUBm0Q) After tying up their kayak on the Merced River like DolosusDoleus, the one known as Ziizo marches up the mountain, loyal Canadian cadet in tow! They both bear an identical firearm, the FN P35! Also known as the Browning Hi Power, this iconic pistol has served as the standard sidearm for the Canadian navy since it was created over 80 years ago! With that much firepower at their disposal, Ziizo looks to have a good chance at winning this round. The power of one's articles alone is not enough to secure victory, however. Ziizo and Enemy post share a nod as military men are prone to do, and square off to begin as soon as possible.

Finally, last but not least is another new Warrior! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ANI6oj8p2M) As they complete the climb to the summit, they put down a heavy lead case with unknown contents and take a breath of fresh air. With a somewhat agile body type, they wear an English soccer uniform and hold the ball to match it. Their name? AbstractTraitorHero! In the back of their mind, they recall the hidden location of a small building they will be able to use as a base of operations throughout this battle. They know there will be potentially valuable supplies there, so it may be a good idea to dash away the moment this fight starts. However, their soccer skills should be enough tide them over until then hopefully.

With that, these 8 willing gladiators form a makeshift circle, and wait for the signal for their battle to begin. After many a tense moment, the sound of a cannon breaks through the silence! All parties look to the sky for a brief moment! An impressive display of fireworks signifies the beginning of this conflict!

7 of the 8 people gathered here today burst into action. The last one vanishes in a puff of logic, greatly confusing a certain soldier for a brief moment. Perhaps they will return, if circumstances permit.

Nod, flash a friendly smile, and then nake a beeeline back down the hill for my canoe. Try to dodge any nearby wiki-warriors.

8+1: DolosusDoleus tries to make a good first impression of the rest of their foes with a smile. After that, they run all the way back down to their canoe, escaping the action unscathed. Not even needing a few moments to catch their breath, DD takes a look around. They spot an interesting looking kayak in the vicinity. Looks empty though.

Salute, sling my guitar over my shoulder, and shoot Ziizo three times.
Salute and shoot Enemy post back.
The cadet will give his grenade to AbstractTraitorHero and join the military conflict between me and enemy post

Init:
Enemy Post: 5
Ziizo: 1+1

4+4-3v5+1
5+4-3v7+1
8+4-3v9+1

Enemy post is quicker on the draw, and fans the hammer of the revolver as fast as he can!

Two of the shots miss the military man's chest and left leg, only tearing his uniform. However, the second of the three punches a big hole in his upper body!

Ziizo's cadet moves to throw his grenade to ATH, but finds them missing!

Ziizo returns fire with his sidearm!

7v1, 4v6: The first shot strikes home in Enemy post's upper body, opening a massive hole!

Organ Endurance/Luck: 1 (Sorry, that was ridiculous. I hate one hit kills in these things, but the dice don't lie. Hope you don't take it personally.)

The bullet tears his heart apart in an instant! He collapses to the ground, barely aware of what just happened. The second shot misses, but is wildly extrenuous.

Ziizo's cadet is so impressed by this that he isn't sure who to shoot next in all the chaos. As such, he looks for direction from his superior.

New article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateshead

Quickly shuffle my feet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkoQB_ziHDU) and then start punching OceanSoul in the face.
In that case, just the Fireball at NRDL. Then, head a little further away from the arena, close to the woods.

Init:
NRDL: 2+1
OceanSoul: 10

9v2+1: OceanSoul sees NRDL start to approach, and throw out an open palm towards him! A large fireball covered in black flames surges towards the boxer! He is surprised by the intensity of the attack, and unable to evade in time!

The black flames engulf his body, burning him all over, especially his upper body, left arm, and right leg!

10-1: Despite the burning and pain, NRDL fights through the fire and flames and emerges to an astonished OceanSoul! Still on fire literally and metaphorically, he goes for a burning uppercut!

9+3-1v5: The gloved arm SMASHES into OceanSoul's face with a brutal hook, knocking the demonic fighter straight to the rough ground. He's dazed by the impact, and if the two were in the ring a referee would start counting at this point!

Order my dogs to attack Rauthedir and football tackle him.
Put on the Mask of anonymity so that the dogs won't find me, and get back into the truck and drive back down the road.

Init:
NAV: 5+1
Rautherdir: 1

10: NAV sics their dogs on the man of mystery, and they respond with great vigor!

8v4: As Rautherdir digs through their pockets franticly for the mask, the dogs make their move!

The dogs both leap onto him and start tearing away at his left arm! They ravenously dig in, even eating the flesh and blood! Finally, Rautherdir, slaps on the mask, but it only partially confuses the dogs. Seems they don't care too much about ID.

4v1: However, that small amount of confusion is enough for him to tear free and start running to their vehicle. They don't get very far this turn, however.

NAV: 10+1
NRDL: 10-1+1
OceanSoul: 10-2
Rautherdir: 8

NAV is unsure of where that other guy went, so they change targets. The footballer calls the dogs to heel, and directs them towards NRDL!

8: They respond quite well, and charge the burning boxer!

5v5-1+1: NRDL barely sidesteps the first mutt!

2v6: The second takes a flying leap at him fangs bared, and he ducks underneath!

3+3v7: He tries to land a hit as it passes, but misses the punch!

Despite the addition of a new combatant to this skirmish NRDL remains firm in his plan, making a strong kick towards OceanSoul's noggin!

6+3-1v8-1: OceanSoul is still trying to get up after his last attack, and isn't ready for another! The kick lands, but OceanSoul is able to absorb most of the impact! Nonetheless, he is sent rolling a few feet, landing on his back!

4: NRDL's injuries worsen due to fire!
8-3: Against all odds, OceanSoul remains concious!

4-2: OceanSoul can't even get to his feet to run away!

5-1: Instead, he summons a pair of fire imps to try and buy time and catch his breath!

The small red demons get to work right away, each launching a small fireball at NRDL!

3v4-1: The first only grazes him, adding a bit more fuel to the demonic fire that surrounds him!
9v5-1: The second strikes true, slamming into his upper body! The attack craters into his chest, and he feels even his insides start to burn! He won't be able to take much more of this.

8: Rautherdir sees all this, and decides to get the hell out of dodge, and instead runs TO a dodge! The dodge he runs to being his loudspeaker truck of course.

With the dogs no longer in pursuit, he has no need to use his wind powers to defend himself. As such, he keeps the wind at his back throughout the journey, and makes it to the truck in no time at all.

The troper takes out his keys and readies the truck for action! What will he do next? That arm of his has certainly taken some damage...

Make a quick salute to honor the death of a fellow Navy officer then rip pieces of Enemy Post uniform and try to bandage my chest with it.
The cadet will run towards DolosusDoleus and throw the grenade inside his canoe
Quickly untie the kayak so that it drifts off into the river and becomes unretrievable from land. Then, hop in the canoe and begin paddling for the nearest park rangers' office. There shoud probably be one near a campsite.

Ziizo 4+1:
Soldier: 3
DD 5+1:

5: Ziizo instructs the cadet to find DD and blow up their canoe! The soldier starts to run to the Merced River, but they probably won't reach in time at their current pace.

2: Meanwhile, Ziizo tries to tear up his enemy's uniform to make a bandage with, but apparently military uniforms are made of sterner stuff! He struggles fruitlessly, only making useless tiny scraps!

(Note: DolosusDoleus only saw your kayak because they rolled extremely well on their travel roll, and then passed another extra roll to do so. Sorry if this feels unfair in any way.)

5: DolosusDoleus rushes to the kayak, knowing it probably belongs to an enemy! The mercantile warrior quickly unties the canoe, and kicks it into the river for good measure. This river isn't the most rapid, but the owner will have to go for a swim if they want it back!

1+2: With that, they also untie their own canoe, and start rowing north toward the nearby Leconte Memorial Lodge. In their haste, they nearly tip over, but their experience allows them to correct for this. They lose some distance as a result, however.

ATH probably isn't coming back, and no one replaced them. Just gonna have to disqualify that slot. I may reuse those articles next game to save me some time, though I'll probably shuffle them around a bit first.

Note: The nearest road, and the one that I put all the non water vehicles on is glacier point road. This is a very long, winding road that takes awhile to go much of anywhere. Running out of gas may be a serious concern.

Quickly Kayak to the memorial lodge, enter, and attempt to make a call to the manager of the OFC Charleville Football team.
If I can make the call, request that the team get to the park as fast as humanly possible.

You: 5+1
Ziizo's Soldier: 5

A military man nears the river and spots you making your getaway. He looks like Ziizo's cadet to you. By the time he arrives, you are simply too far away to attack. The soldier notes that the kayak is drifting south, while you travel north. He swears, though you aren't quite sure which words he used over the sound of the river.

7+2+1: You canoe at great speed up the Merced River! On your way, you pass under Happy Isles Bridge, zip by Upper Pines Campground, and continue on through Royal Arch creek. After a bit more paddling, the lodge is well within your sight!  You tie your canoe on the riverside once more, as you'll have to walk the rest of the way. Fortunately, you're only somewhat winded.

3+1: Ziizo's cadet leaps into the river, and begins swimming after the kayak. He reaches it, and barely manages to get aboard. He doesn't reach the shore yet. 

Tackle and pin Oceansoul, since he's not on fire. Order one dog to go for the kill on him while the other savages NRDL.
Retreat, put out fire, if at all possible by smothering any attacking dogs with my body.
My imps take on NAV and his hound, preferably with fireballs, while I take the chance to get away into the woods.
throw a water bottle in NRDL direction and keep trying to make bandages.
If the cadet cannot shoot Dolosus he is to come back.

NAV: 10+1=11
NRDL: 4-2+1=3
OceanSoul: 4-2=2
Ziizo: 9=9

3: NAV continues to order his dogs. The reception is somewhat lukewarm this time, but they obey him nonetheless.

10+3v1-2(Difference of 14): Meanwhile, NAV refuses to let OceanSoul escape! The demonoid man is too dazed to avoid the huge tackle, and his whole upper body crushes under the force of the footballer's skills! OceanSoul feels his whole upper body caved in! NAV pushes himself off, making OceanSoul think he has a chance to get up and make an escape!

7v2-2: However, NAV's fighting dog arrives and tears open his throat, killing him for good! 

NAV gains a new article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_E._Davis

3v9-2: The other fighting dog launches an attack on NRDL, but he makes himself appear as menacing as he can, and slowly approaches the canine! The dog flinches back at the muscle bound burning boxer, and doesn't follow through out of fear.

Ziizo decides to throw a water bottle at NRDL! He doesn't exactly have a waterbottle, but his military uniform certainly has a canteen attatched to the hip! His foe has one too, and both are full of water!

2: Ziizo tosses Enemy post's canteen at NRDL, but their throw is extremely weak, and the canteen clatters to the ground nearby.

1-1(These rolls are STUPID): Ziizo keeps trying to make bandages, but his chest injury worsens! Blood gets everywhere, and his wet hands further mangle his foe's uniform!

Endurance 1-1(Oh come on! Why is everybody basically made of paper mache this round? Is this battle even going to take 10 turns?): Ziizo feels faint! They're going to pass out from blood loss soon unless something good happens.

Unfortunately, the cadet is too busy securing the Kayak. South of the merced river eventually leads to a waterfall. I probably should have mentioned that sooner, but I didn't know until now. I've gathered a LOT of data from google maps. Anyway, he should return next turn, provided he makes it to shore quickly enough.

6v9: NRDL lunges at the retreating dog, but is unable to grab a hold of it! He resorts to the old standby of stop drop and roll!

7-2: And roll he does! The fire greatly lessens. Most of his injuries cauterize. He takes this chance to pick up the water canteen.

7: His wounds heal ever so slightly. He'll probably need outside help to get back to good condirion though.

OceanSoul is dead, but his fire imps still walk the earth!

1v8: One tries to shoot NAV, but fails to do more than make sparks!

6v1: The other gleefully ignites the hound that is tearing away at OceanSoul's flesh!

Drive the truck down the road.

2:-1 You drive down glacier point road, but have trouble maneuvering such a heavy vehicle. The vehicle is jarred violently as it passes over a large nearby rock!

7-1: The truck goes off road, but you pull it back on before anything particularly bad happens. The impact isn't particularly damaging to the vehicle, but it aggravates your arm wound!

Very light damage inflicted to loudspeaker truck.

Those initiative rolls definitely didn't help, and extremely low dodge rolls didn't do you any favors either. Such is RTD. Next round, I may go to a d8 system to lower the amount of absurd attack/dodge rolls that seem to have happened so often in both rounds of this game. I'll probably modify the initiative system too, as I'm rather unsatisfied with it.

Note: If someone gets a vehicle, I roll to see how skilled they are with it. Both car owners rolled "no skill", which is rather unlikely. The canoe and kayak owners got better rolls.

If no one else hits them to claim partial kill credit, then yes. Not that that'll mean much. Amusingly, I have rules prepared for articles which will probably never be picked.

If the article happens to be something like this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection), and credit goes to you, you'll probably revive as a result of gaining an ability that does that sort of thing. Needless to say this is EXTRAORDINARILY unlikely. The rule does exist though.

Articles always go to the killer when possible, even if the killer(s) die too. It is just that mutual kills haven't happened yet, so I didn't see the need to mention all of this until now.

Alive killers get priority for articles where possible, of course. Odds are your corpse will just have some loot dumped on top of it, which I'll make mention of if applicable.

9+1: You sprint into the lodge at full speed, and ask for the phone. Your haggard state means they don't ask any questions.

The assistant manager of the football club picks up the phone.

"Dolosus, is that you? You sound out of breath."

You try to explain the situation.

"Yosemite National Park? What are you doing there? A matter of life and death? That sounds serious! Is there anything I can do for you?"

Well, you have their attention.

Init:
Ziizo: 2
Ziizo Cadet: 7
NRDL: 6-2+1=5
NAV: 6+1=7
Fire Imps: 1

9: Ziizo's cadet makes it to the shore in record time, and doesn't tie the canoe. Instead, he hides it nearby. After much running, he arrives at the scene of the battle to see his commander bleeding to death!

2: He tries to create bandages from Enemy post's uniform, but fails! (These are like clothing from hell or something. No ordinary cloth could hold such hatred. Karma maybe?)

8: Next, NAV orders his dogs to attack the imps!

5v6,4v7: Both dogs focus on a single imp, but the imps are able to escape from harms way!

3v7: NAV throws an acid vial at NRDL, but he misses, and the acid sizzles uselessly on the ground.
5v9: He throws another vial at Ziizo, but the navy man avoids the toss!

(You have no time to loot OceanSoul.)

Minor hazard created: Small acid pools: Especially poor dodge or movement rolls in this area may cause you to step in acid. The acid will last until turn 7.

NRDL sees Ziizo give up on healing, and start moving towards him, boxes gloves held leveled. I wonder how he shoots a gun with those on... Very carefully I suppose.

5+3+1-2v9+3+1-1: NRDL rushes ziizo with a flurry of punches, but Ziizo deflects ir evades them all with his own boxing expertise! (Because this is a boxing battle, you both get the bonus. In other words, it basically evens out.

6-1v6-2: Ziizo retaliates with a blast of wind, knocking NRDL to the ground! It puts out the test of the fire though.

2+3+1-1v4+3+1-2-2: Ziizo's follow up attack is much stronger, and he makes several punches on his foe's head! NRDL starts to feel dazed!

3: The vigorous action reopens some of NRDL's burns.

5: Ziizo's chest doesn't get any worse. However, he feels more faint.

6v1,6v4:  Both imps literally open fire at the already burning fighting dog! This is simply too much for the already winded canine, and it collapses to the ground.

3: You stop the car, and look around for any way to fix your arm. This truck is rather barren of supplies, however. You tear off a piece of clothing for a bandage, but it doesn't do much other than slow the bleeding.

Init:
Ziizo: 1
Ziizo Cadet: 10
NRDL: 4
NAV: 9

8v7+1: Ziizo's cadet sees NAV preparing to throw something at his commander, so he gets his grenade ready! The pin comes out easily! With a quick toss, the grenade lands near NAV's location! However, the footballer reacts quickly, and dives to the ground, leaping as far away as possible! The grenade detonates, and though he is somewhat concussed by the blast, he receives little harm!

8v10: His fighting dog is dragged along with him by the leash, and also evades the blast entirely!

2-1+1, 2, 2: NAV is too disoriented to throw the container, and spills a little acid on his clothes in the chaos! Fortunately, he acts fast, tearing off the dissolving cloth and throwing it away.

10+1-1: NAV resolves to escape the conflict instead, and quickly closes the acid vial once more! The man and his dog easily reach the fancy sports car, and get seated comfortably.

5-3+3+1v6-1+3+1 Meanwhile NRDL continues to box his foe! The more militant pugilist dip, ducks and dodges his brutal fists repeatedly!

7-1+3+1v5-3+3+1: Ziizo's assault is far more effective, striking 3 consecutive punches into NRDL's face. The third is enough to knock him unconcious, toppling him to the ground and sending him into a dirt nap.

Ziizo Endurance: 8
NRDL Endurance: 10

Astonishingly, both boxers survive this round, and Ziizo even makes a slight recovery! NRDL's burns slightly heal, but he doesn't awake quite yet.

Tell the assistant manager that the team needs to get to the park right now godddamn it, because it's important and no time to explain why.

2+2: Your manager is in disbelief at your proclamation.

"Perhaps you forget, but the club is in france! Travel alone will take more than a few hours! We'll have to rent a private jet too!"

He mutters to himself for awhile, and you're about to remind him who's in charge when he speaks up again.

"However, you're the boss! I won't be able to bring the reserves, but we're on our way! We'll drop off in Las Vegas and take a bus the rest of the way! You better have a good explanation when we get here!"

Your assistant hangs up the phone, and the people in the lodge begin to look at you skeptically. Perhaps it is time to take your leave. But wait, you didn't specify a meet up point!

(Your team will arrive in 6 in game hours. Any turn with combat in it will usually last at most 5 minutes. A turn without combat is 30 minutes and up. If you make it to Vegas, which is west of here, the time will go down to 5 hours, as you'll be able to meet at the airport. Apparently an ordinary flight would take over 12 hours, so no complaining. The original Concorde took 3 hours just from paris to new york. Perhaps the Concorde 2 came to fruition in this world?)

8: You step out of the truck and close your eyes, focusing on the starting point of this battle. You envision the iconic Glacier Point, which resides far above sea level, and far down the road. With a clear image in your focus, you draw upon the power of element wind! All around the park, eyes look upwards towards Glacier Point. Far above the icy protrusion, black storm clouds start to gather. Lightning arcs between them, and a convection cell starts to form. The beginnings of a tornado are visible, to all who know the signs.

(Players will have 1-2 turns to escape the radius, depending on how well Rautherdir continues to roll to create and control the storm. The ability will go on cooldown the moment Rautherdir loses focus.)

Init:

Ziizo and Rautherdir both use their power of wind on the storm!

Wind battle: 5-1v9

Ziizo's blast of wind strikes into the gathering clouds, somewhat disrupting them! However, Rautherdir practically falls into a trance while directing the wind, and the tunnel of clouds draws ever closer to the ground. Even if those nearby run now, it may be difficult to get to safety...

Ziizo End: 1-1 After his focus on the wind stops, ziizo suddenly becomes aware of the pain in his chest once more! He collapses to the ground! The military man falls unconcious!

Ziizo's cadet readies his firearm for NAV's vehicular attack, preparing to try and shoot out a tire!

Looks like it's time for some hit and run.

(Not sure who you're attacking here, as Rautherdir is a valid target along with everyone at the summit. Will assume you attack the boxers, based on your past actions.)

6: NAV revs up their sports car, and flies up the road toward glacier point! Seeing both NRDL and Ziizo collapsed near each other, he drives towards the two at full throttle! However, the cadet opens fire!

8v10
7v6
10v6

The first bullet goes wide! The second strikes a decent size hole in, but does little damage to the important parts! The third bullet strikes true, slicing apart one of the high traction racing tires!

Driving Skill: 4

Despite the damage to one of the tires, NAV mostly remains on target. The footballer converts the head on attack into a side swipe! They lose a fair bit of speed in the process though.

New attack result: 6 3

NAV's low riding car barely smashes into the two boxers, sending them rolling away from the arena! The low velocity impact doesn't inflict fatal damage, but ziizo's cadet hears a CRACK on impact. That can't be good.

NAV Luk: 8

NAV remembers that the car has a spare in the back. They might not have time to change it with this storm brewing though...

Attempt to pawn off my piece of valuable cloth to one of the people in the cabin in exchange for their car.

10+3: You somehow convince the owner of the lodge that your cloth is some sort of priceless relic. He puts it on display immediately, and gently places a pair of car keys in your hands. Exiting the lodge, you start looking for his car. Based on his instructions, it should be parked nearby. After a bit of searching, you find that it is indeed!

The vehicle looks to be a hybrid, and quite fuel efficient at that. This should get you all the way to the airport with ease. It seems relatively durable as well! Otherwise it wouldn't handle california's rocky landscape. You get inside immediately, and find the tank to be full. Excellent.

(With this car, you should be able to reach the airport in 1 in game hour. I suggest you start thinking of activities to do on the way/when you get there.)

Football team progress:

The team gets packed quickly enough, and boards the plane with surprising quickness. Time to arrival at airport: 4:55.

try to wake up.

Duck to hide from bullets, and ram that damn cadet.
Continue directing wind

You know what these rolls are for by now.
NRDL: 4
Ziizo: 4
Cadet: 7
NAV: 5
Rautherdir: 1

Ziizo's soldier acts first, letting loose a carefully aimed barrage at NAV!

7v2-2, 9v9-2, 8v10-2: The first 45 caliber impact smashes into NAV's windshield, flinging glass all over the interior!

NAV Luk: 1
NAV End: 4
Dog End: 1

NAV's dog is shredded in an instant, and he doesn't fare much better! The shards tear into his face, neck and arms, and blood fills his vision! The next couple bullets strike through the left rear tire, sending NAV into a skid!

7-A lot: NAV is so struck with pain that he can't get his foot off the accelerator! NAV desperately tries to regain control of his sports car! However, he can only barely see the road, and the shards in his arms prevent him from correcting smoothly.

By the time he makes any progress, it is too little too late, as the car careens into the air off of Glacier Point. After a somewhat lengthy free fall it crashes to the ground, but the roll cage saves NAV from most of the impact! However, the remaining blunt force trauma shatters the acid vial, finishing him off.

NAV is dead! Ziizo gains the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventinus_Albius_Ovidius

9-2: Ziizo startles awake at the sound of gunfire. Lying on the ground he sees the storm clouds gathering above. He calls his cadet to help him up, and the two go shoulder to shoulder to flee the scene as fast as possible. They hobble down the road as fast as they can, but can only get so far as the storm completes.

3-1: Meanwhile, Ziizo's chest pours a literal trail of blood down the mountain. He begins to fade into sleep once more.

3-2: NRDL can struggle no more, and the boxer's body lets out one last breath. In his dreams, he raises a title belt while standing over ziizo. After that, everything fades to white.

NRDL is dead! Ziizo gains the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mighty_Boosh

(Normally NAV would have claimed it but they're dead, and ziizo has most of the credit still. If the article would have helped NAV, I'd give it to them as stated before.)

3: Rautherdir finally finishes creating the tornado! However, the furious winds escape their grasp! His control lapses, and he is forced back to his own body. The warrior lets go of a breath they didn't even know they were holding. The last remaining troper can now only watch and observe as this force of nature tears across the arena.

TORNADO TIME!

All in the vicinity of Glacier Point must now roll for survival. In other words, all of two relevant people.

Ziizo: 2, 4
Cadet: 2, 4

The two are sent flying into the air by a sudden burst of wind! Despite this, they try to alter their aerodynamics to get sent further away from the wind tunnel, rather than closer!

They fail, and get slammed into a nearby tree, causing a fair bit of blunt force trauma. Furthermore, the tree begins to uproot and bend towards the swirling winds! That can't be good. Ziizo is unconcious again now.

Other Debris: 5

NAV's sports car, along with a multitude of dead bodies enter the tornado. No one can loot those dead warriors anymore.

(I assure you this tornado is deadlier than those results indicate.)

Strap the canoe and oars to the top of the car and start driving to the airport! While driving, begin composing some poetry on the topic of football teams and canoes.

3: It takes a bit of work, but DD props up the canoe and oars onto their new vehicle, and starts their engine. Finally they begin to drive off towards Vegas.

8+2+2+2=14: You hum a tune to yourself while driving, and think up a poem you believe will take the writing world by storm. Speaking of storms, it sure is great to be able to put that tornado behind you.

(What an odd poem this must be.)

Background roll 3: Despite emergency procedures being common knowledge for park rangers and other such staff, this sudden and unnatural disaster takes them all by surprise. Only a scant few people retain their composure and start making calls to report on the storm. Most of those on the other side of the calls find the story difficult to believe.

Did I just lose the potential points for killing Ziizo? Also, I think NRDL might have picked up the Rasputin article at some point.

Unfortunately for you, you have indeed lost kill credit. Same for NAV. You both will probably gain a point or two for all the damage you did though. Who knows, maybe kill assists count this round.

As for NAV's death, they had a chance to automatically bail out this turn, but it didn't work out. Their roll cage makes it a little more difficult to leave enter the vehicle, which worked against them there.

Anyway, up until now the dice have been annoyingly kind to people survival wise this round. I slightly altered how endurance works after that absurdly deadly first round, but I may have made it a bit too generous. Then again 2 deaths this turn, so I could be wrong.

Anyway, if this game ends up with everyone taking a road trip, what do you say I fast forward those turns? Cooldowns will still be incremented as if those turns took place, naturally.

Honestly, I probably don't need to wait for Dolosus as they're just going to keep driving to Vegas, but I'll give them a bit anyway. Will definitely update at least once before I have to go anywhere.

10: Rautherdir gets in the truck as fast as he can!

5: They drive fairly quickly despite the terrain. However, the tornado continues to loom ominously.

The heroically tries to apply first aid to Ziizo.
Ziizo tries to not die.

10: The cadet remembers the first aid training they went through vividly! Still amidst the whirling winds, they finally manage to patch up that bullet hole! If only they had better supplies.

2: Ziizo awakes. He directs the two of them to escape the tree before it is too late!

The tree is torn out of the ground and sent flying!

Luk: 8, 8

The two fall a fair bit to the ground but fortunately the landing is relatively soft!

End: 1, 7

However, Ziizo lands on his head, and is knocked out again!

Quote from: DolosusDoleus

8: The road trip continues.

Tornado time!: 10

The tornado increases in intensity. There is now no escape.

9, 7, 8
1, 8, 10

The soldiers struggle as hard as they can, but are drawn into the storm. Their deaths are relatively swift, the debris within the storm doing them in.

I like this idea. Has potential. Will have to see about implementing it. Anyway, the point shop has been modified a fair bit.

Edit: Now, Rautherdir technically has no reason to know DolosusDoleus is headed to Vegas. Regardless, would you both be okay with a bit of a time skip? I can justify it as a sort of "Finalists get notified of enemy locations" sort of deal.

Edit 2: Naturally any time skip would occur after the danger passes.

6: The truck isn't very good at off road, but you get a little further away from the storm. You look around the truck, but don't see anything you can use. Still, you see a building you may be able to hide in. A quick glance at your rear view mirror allows you to see the lodge get ripped into the air. Well damn.

Keep on trucking. Improve my poem by making it objectivist.

6+2+2+2+2: Your poem comes out about the same quality. Somehow you suspect the quality will be regarded as lower without the right audience. You keep both poems in mind though.

(For most of the more... artistic skills, there is currently no downside to stacking all your modifiers into one shizophrenic mess/godlike piece of work. This feels rather silly, so I might have to nerf a little... Nothing too serious, might make some elements just count as +1 instead.)

TORNADO TIME!

9: The tornado intensifies. No one can ignore it anymore on account of the storm clouds basically covering all of california.

7, 2, 3: Despite the distance, the back wheels of Rautherdirs truck lift into the air!

10: The Troper bails outs and goes into an effective roll!

End 2+1: Their truck was going pretty fast, so despite their effective exit, they break their right leg on impact with the pavement!

3: They get drawn into the tornado anyway.

This was the last anyone ever saw of Rautherdir... in this world anyway. NAV's dogs were the last to injure him, so let's see what NAV gets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Gonzaga_(Rodomonte)

Ah, what a shame to see such a good article wasted. In any event...

DolosusDoleus feels their last remaining opppnent disappear from this world. All around their hybrid car, the fabric of reality begins to twist and turn. In a few short moments, their car is transported onto the road to OFC Charleville, where they see their team beginning to depart. Odd, that should have happened about a quarter of an hour ago.

Dolosus exits the vehicle and waves over to them, telling them to stop.

"What? You said you were at Yosemite Park? How did you get here so fast?"

Dolosus isn't sure what to say. This all happened so quickly and they were so busy writing poems they weren't prepared to meet their team so soon. Suddenly, they feel a odd, ethereal voice begin to speak in their mind.

"Your victory was rather... unconventional. However, it cannot be called anything else but a victory. Congratulations. You know your options. Retire in this world to do as you please, or continue to defend the title of champion. I've sent you back in time a bit, as you probably suspect. You've got 5 minutes to make your choice, technically. Might want to say something to that guy too."

Spoiler: DolosusDoleus (click to show/hide)

(Rautherdir, I simulated your next few rolls. They were too low to escape/survive. Some things are just beyond the power of the dice. Had they been something like three 9s/10s I'd have continued, keeping those rolls.)

Spoiler: Scores (click to show/hide)

Rerolls are now bought before article assignment. Arena selection is too. This should reduce arena based metagaming. If you don't want to use a reroll you bought, it can be conserved for a later round or donated to another player who does.

Spoiler: Shoppe (click to show/hide)

If something says permanent, that basically just means you don't have to buy it again for that body next round if you win. Permanent effects can be disabled by spending the same amount of points you did to buy them.

Anything marked as Collective will affect all players. Thus, players have to spend points collectively to engage these modes. Only 1/5 of a collective item's cost can be bought at once by one player. If you don't want a collective thing to be bought, you can spend points to bring the number down instead of up. If the mode isn't fully bought, progress will carry over to the next round.

Gambling has been removed. It would probably have been too easy to gain loads of points in retrospect.

As is obvious, things are a bit more expensive. The old prices were sorta balanced around a lower player count.

Edit: Feel free to pm purchases to me. Leaky wiki/battlefield bidding has to be public though.

Yes, but only as long as that "avatar" doesn't die. It honestly isn't too relevant, but I'd rather get the rule out there early.

Basically, each time you spawn(unless you're a champion defending your title), the body you get is a new entity. All it really amounts to is that the purchase has a lifetime warranty, and dying voids it, essentially.

Time for a progress update I guess.

I still have a lot to do. Have been getting a lot of complex articles, as well as a whole lot I can't do anything with. 6 players have had their profiles completed so far.

By the way, I'll probably not be setting this in Rapture. I might do it next round, but I'd really rather just do a random article again. If I don't use it, the point spent on it will be refunded.

As for those of you who want to join, I'll think about it, but I feel like 11 people would be just too much to handle for me at the moment.

Edit: Really wikipedia? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutscher_Volksverband) *Sigh* I can't help but feel like this next round will be politically charged.

One more player complete, and well on my way to finishing the last two. I won't be accepting anymore this round, things are taking long enough as it is. By the way, check out the first post. I've changed how skill/stat bonuses are arranged. In my personal opinion, this new way makes them IMMENSELY more neat/compact/easier to read. If you disagree, tell me.

Starting Location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_(Washington,_D.C.)

At long last, we begin our third round of Wiki Wars Redux.

The starting location for this battle royale is Volta Park, located 1 block away from the center of Georgetown in Washington D.C.

Georgetown is situated on the bank of the Potomac river, and the port there is a veritable hub of trade.

Our competitors should be arriving at the park any moment now. 8 warriors will begin in this arena, but only one can win.

Our first arrival is a two time participant in this competition. Is three their lucky number? Only time will tell. This warrior is clothed in the uniform of the Hershey Bears hockey team and holding a hockey stick high. He sits on an unusual looking saddle, atop an even more unusual mount! This collosal beast with a thick skull, sharp canines, and a trio of sharper horns is the Uintatherium, a mammal previously thought extinct for over 50 million years. Let's hear it for Enemy post!

Next is someone new! Standing head and shoulders above the rest of their foes, here's PaPaj! He is by far the most physically capable of the lot. He wears an effective looking set of armor, and has a sword to match it. He also has a variety of sports equipment, which may give him some extra versatility.

Time for another returning challenger! Were it not for the unnaturally sharp and cold ice saber she's holding in her gloved hands, NAV wouldn't have much going for her this round. However, should she get a handle on her more liquid assets, the tide may turn in her favor.

Time for the return of ziizo, who has put forth a good showing in both of the last two rounds. Will he be able to continue this vicious streak and claim victory once and for all? Considering that he has an A-Wing, there's a pretty damn good chance that the answer is yes.

Retired champion DolosusDoleus is also back for this round! In sharp contrast to his previous abilities, he has received a more offensive skillset. He sits in the pilot seat of the iconic WW1 fighter known as the Vickers F.B.5! Painted on both sides of the nose of the plane is a masterful image of Pepe the frog. The frog is laughing. The gunner's seat holds a somewhat burly looking man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. You could say he's a big guy. The two men step out and join the rest of their foes.

Moving on, we have the return of our runner up from last round Rautherdir! Wearing a WW2 US aviation uniform affixed with postal badges, she steps out of the Grumman LLV. This vehicle is an iconic postal truck seen all over the United States of America. After taking a good look at the WW2 fighter she has towed behind it and comparing it to the Pepe laden antique that arrived before her, she grins in anticipation and joins the growing circle of warriors. As she does, she remembers feeling the energy of an Edel Raid somewhere in the city. She can't quite pinpoint the magical being's location yet though.

Time for AoshimaMichio to arrive. He is another newcomer to this deadly game, so give him a warm welcome. He carries a well stocked toolbox and a business card that states his leadership of the Deutscher Volksverband political party. For those who aren't familiar, here's a little history. This party was minority of germans in poland that were rather fond of the Nazis. Before WW2 began, the party initially served to sabotage the existing governent as a fifth column, as well as build support for Germany's armed forces in preparation for the invasion of Poland. As he steps towards the circle, he begins to feel an odd synergy with the two men that just stepped out of the Pepe Plane...

Our last competitor is flying in on a plane! Notably, this one has no weapons. The pilot is NRDL, who holds ownership of a newspaper. They've brought a reporter ally with them in the passenger seat. As the two step out of the plane and towards the growing circle of imminent death and violence, he looks back and forth at the heavily armed foes before him as well as the soccer ball that is his only weapon. His ally reassures him that this was a good idea. "I've covered wars, you know.

With that, all 8 warriors are gathered here today. But wait, someone is riding in on a bicycle at the last second! Its FallacyofUrist, wearing the uniform of the US Navy! Pinned on his uniform is a medal of honor. Sheathed at his waist is a curved turkish sword. Unusually, they also happen to be carrying a small bag of coal. I guess we'll just have to let him in then. Now, where was I? Ah yes.

Now that all 9 warriors are here, we can get started. Each of them await the signal that will mark the beginning of the war with great anticipation! In the distance they hear a bell begin to toll! They have a scarce few seconds left to prepare, as they suddenly know that when bell tolls 12 noon, the bloodshed will begin.

What will they do?

Hey, DC. I almost paid for the White House as the location.

Also, everyone jump Ziizo now, before he takes off.

In the name of Canada, charge Ziizo on Uintatheriumback and bash him with my hockey stick as my Uintatherium attacks him.

On second thought, the A-wing doesn't seem as much a threat as I thought.

Just missing NAV now. I should probably note a couple things.

Two of you just said to explore the town. It probably can't hurt to be more specific about what you might be looking for. That's not to say a generic exploration action is without benefits though, especially in regards to Rautherdir.

AO, that probably isn't going to be effective as you think it is. It could work to confuse/intimidate the beast, but most of the time mental "attacks" like that are ineffective against players unless they're based on an ability. Still, with good enough rolls anything is possible I suppose.

(No one has a motorcycle. Also Fallacy's bike is currently with the rest of the vehices. Lets do this anyway though.)

1+2v9+?: Enemy post urges his mount to trample over AoshimaMichio! The construction expert produces a high pitched whistle, and yells at the endangered mammal to bother the bicycle guy instead. The Uintatherium doesn't understand him very well, but charges towards Fallacy anyway!

1+2: Enemy post tries to regain control of the beast, but it seems dead set on this new target!

5v10: Startled by the beast, Fallacy avoids the attack, and runs off toward the southern part of the park, mounting his bicycle when he arrives!

AoshimaMichio takes this as an opportunity to put some distance between himself and the prehistoric mammal.

Enter the A-wing and attack the others flying warriors
Systematically flip ziizo off and sling some well-timed insults at him regarding his parentage, appearance, interest in soccer, and fashion sense. Then hop in the pilot's seat of the pepe-plane and take off. If possible have Anon (Bane) shoot ziizo from the gunner's seat.

Init: 2v7

10v4: "Your face is one that only a mother could love!  Your fashion sense is so terrible that your clothes wouldn't make it into the bargain bin! So, of course you'd like soccer! It is a sport for ninnies who rate every injury a 10 on the pain scale! Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelt of of elderberries!"

DolosusDoleus delivers this rant while flipping off ziizo with both hands and running towards the plane he rode in on. Ziizo is rather furious with these insults despite himself.

8: The two men get into their respective seats, and Dolosus fires up the plane's engine. As they take to the sky and get ready to attack, ziizo is opening the A-Wing's cockpit and getting inside.

2: The big guy starts firing the lewis gun mounted on the plane at their new enemy! He misses every shot entirely, not even hitting the space ship. It turns out shooting that from a moving vehicle is a bit more difficult than anticipated.

10: Ziizo finally gets inside, safe at last behind the space ship's futuristic armor. For good measure, he powers up the shields as well.

6v5+3: Eager for revenge, ziizo takes off and points his twin laser cannons at the pepe plane! Deadly beams fly perfectly on target, but the vastly outgunned fighter does an effective barrel roll, evading the attack!

10: People all over the city notice this aerial assault. Reactions vary from enthusiasm, to befuddlement, to worry. Star Wars fans note that one of the ships is an A-Wing, and many begin to record immediately!

The general feeling about all this is as follows. 

"Is this some sort of promotional stunt? And what's with that other plane? Special effects look pretty good though."

Go to a local gunstore, see what guns and ammunition they have to offer for under 50$.

7: NRDL news network (NNN) travels on foot to a gunstore, after having asked some of the locals about such locations. Evidently $50 doesn't cut it, as most proper firearms are at least $200 give or take $25 or so at mininum. That's without ammo too. Your aide chips in.

"Looks like proper firearms are a bit beyond our budget at the moment. I suppose we could buy an air rifle or air pistol with $50, which wouldn't be the worst weapon. Any ideas to get more money?"

Get on bike, ride to a mineralogy shop and purchase some Anthracite, the type of coal that provides the most power when burned. Also produces much less greenhouse gasses when burned.

4+1: FallacyofUrist keeps biking, looking for a place to buy coal. Maybe that appliance shop?

The biker parks and heads inside. After a bit of looking he finds a variety of coal near the outdoor grills that are on sale. Looks like the good stuff is expensive. $20 for a 10 pound bag. An ordinary 10 pound bag of charcoal is just $10. You could definitely carry 3 bags. 4 is questionable, and 5 is right out. Or rather, it would be but the bike makes transporting it all a bit easier. Any more than 3 will severely impact speed and combat performance.

Drive off and explore around town

3: The american aviator gets back into her postal vehicle after having to run all the way towards it.

1+2: Unfortunately, she gets stuck in traffic, and can't get much of anywhere.

1: She can't seem to get heads or tails of the magical girl either...

Go and explore the town

7+2: PaPaj readies himself for combat, but not much occurs. PaPaj instead takes some time to explore, and figure a few things out about the latest battleground of the Wiki Wars.

Future rolls to find things/explore the city will be increased. 

Run away and look for my house!

3+3: Utterly unimpeded by the rest of her foes, NAV takes some time to try and remember where her house is. Well, it is definitely to the north, she thinks, and starts to run in that direction. She makes it a few blocks.

Not so subtly hint that I'll run a news story on the miser-like business practices of modern gun stores, which maaaaay hurt his clientele, if I don't get a generous discount.

7v10: The shopkeeper pulls out a loaded shotgun from behind the counter and cocks it.

"Don't take kindly to blackmail around here. Sides, you don't work for any news agency I know of. Now get out of my store."

Well, that went poorly. He'll probably charge you extra now if you come back...

Use my painting supplies to paint on a wall a graphiti insulting feminists and normies

5+4: You find a place to legally paint grafitti, and get to work. After a little while, you've created an impressive artwork for all to see. Lets see if people will like it.

Reaction 1: Looks like there's some people walking towards you. Oh shit, they're from a feminist rally!

4+2v5: They start yelling and screaming to you about the patriarchy, so you book it out of there quickly. They begin to chase you down the street! Looks like one of them is recording!

Painting supplies -10%

Alright, let's vacate the area and start operation "The Great Collapse" aka. call my party people and have them sabotage shit out of city foundation. Perhaps we can make entire city collapse and kill others with it, but I'm happy with merely breaking blocks around the starting park.

4: You head to a nearby payphone and shove a couple quarters into it. You begin contacting your fellow party members. Unfortunately, the Polish Nazi party is rather defunct. You'll have to put it back together yourself. While digging through the nearby phone book, you eventually find a group you think would be sympathetic to your goals. The National Socialist movement has a D.C. branch. You make the call and wait.

Someone picks up the phone. "Hello, this is the National Socialist party."

8v6 You spend some time detailing your plan, but even after learning of your party membership, it is a tough sell.

"I'll put you through to the boss, hold on..."

"All right, tell me why you think we should go along with this. We're on thin ice as it is, and open violence and vandalism certainly don't seem a good way to promote our cause."

You'll have to think your answer through carefully. You're pretty sure you only have one shot at this. Your bonuses will probably help here, so use them wisely.

Try to open communications with ziizo
"Nice shooting skills! What are you gonna do, miss me to death?"
Continue engaging in evasive maneuvers, have the masked man keep trying to shoot ziizo.

Init: 5v2

ziizo Flying: 3+A lot

DolosusDoleus tries to taunt ziizo, but the rushing wind is too strong to be heard over! The big guy points the machine gun towards the A-Wing, but suddenly ziizo distorts the time around his starfighter, and the already fast craft goes into overdrive!

Dur: 2, 10, 8, 5
End: 6, 10

Ziizo flies straight at the outdated fighter and fires a barrage of attacks! Four shots embed themselves into the side of the pepe plane! Ziizo pulls up to avoid crashing, and gets ready for a second attack!

The meme machine is torn apart in an instant, and flame engulfs the chassis! Dolosus is heavily burned but manages to survive, while the big guy leaps out of the burning plane to relative safety!

Unfortunately for the two of them, WW1 planes don't come with parachutes, and they begin to fall towards the ground from above Volta Park! Viable "soft" landing zones include trees, cloth overhangs, and the swimming pool in the center. They don't have long to influence their trajectory.

keep looking for house. Don't be a murderhobo. Be a murderhomeowner!

10+3: You head north at breakneck speed! Not a single traffic light dares halt your passage through any crosswalk! You arrive at a homely looking... home, and recognize it as your own. You unlock the door and head inside. What could you find? You'll just have to look.

Ride my beast over to tour the National Mall. I'm in DC, wouldn't want to miss it.

(This is apparently a 1 hour drive from volta park. This might take a little while.)

4+2: As Fallacy rides off into the distance, Enemy post decides to do a bit of sightseeing instead. He starts heading east towards the National Mall. One can only wonder what he wants to see first.

Luk 10: His unusual mount attracts a fair bit of attention, but people seem to give it a wide berth. Travel speed moderately increased for awhile. 

Estimated arrival time: 8-9 more turns. (Gonna be semi generous here. Higher rolls mean faster arrival.)

Purchase one bag of coal, then bike off. Scout the area, figure out if there are any warriors nearby. If attacked, ride towards enemy(+1) and hit them with saber. What exactly constitutes special ops techniques?

5+1: Fallacy buys a bag of anthracite, and bikes off. While he pedals, he takes some time to remember the basics of cqc his special ops training. He was largely trained in subterfuge. Disguise, stealth, acting, cracking codes, lockpicking, all that good stuff. He didn't get much in terms if physical combat, though he knows a thing or two.

Explore around town.

1+2: Rautherdir keeps driving, and runs over a big pothole!

6: The vehicle jars a bit, but there isn't any serious damage.

1: Somehow she feels like she's getting further away from the Edel Raid, despite that her senses don't indicate any such thing.

Then loot my house for anything useful. Look for a gun (this is Murrica!), a vehicle, first aid kit, protective clothing, money and valuables, knives, my pet dog, my kids, my husband, etc.

4: You grab the cordless phone and dial the number of the trust. It takes them a while to pick up. So, while you make the call you pace around your house to look for supplies.

"Glamorgan-Gwent Archeology Trust, who am I speaking to. Oh, its you NAV. I suspect this isn't just small talk."

9+3: You explain your desire for a skilled archaelogist, ideally one with some experience in physical combat. You justify this by explaining that the site is hotly contested, and it looks like things may go sour.

"Hmm, I think we might have someone like that. Hang on a moment."

Luk: 10 "Where are you right now again? Georgetown D.C.? How fortuitous for you, we have just the man. Goes by the name of Dr. Stone. He's at an exhibition in the National Museum of Natural History. That's in the National Mall. He should be leaving soon, so I'll send him your way. We'll notify someone near your location. Where would you like to meet them? Take some time to decide if you need to. Anything else?"

You ask about any items you could "borrow", like weapons and armor.

5: "Hmm. Such things are difficult to move on such short notice. Additionally, as a charity our funds are quite limited. However, there are some things at museum we could have that man temporarily remove. Please don't let anything bad happen to them."

Supplies 9: Your weapon findings include a Webley Revolver, as well as a classic winchester rifle.

7: The vehicle is a decent motorbike. Its often easier to just take a taxi in a city like this, so you don't own a car.

9: You grab a fully stocked first aid kit off the wall. A little bulky, but it'll definitely do the job.

3: Protective clothic, lets see... Well, a leather jacket and biker helmet is better than nothing.

3: Most of your money is locked up in a safe which would be difficult to open on the phone.

2: No knives. You apparently sent them in for repair and maintenance last week, but you can't remember exactlybwhere they are right now.

5: No kids, husband, or other family here. You take a moment to greet your pet corgi. He's a bit on the small side, but if you really want to take him into the war, you can.

Ok, that's significantly longer than I expected. I'll visit after I win. Find somewhere to sell my Mercury rocks.

7+2: You notice signs pointing out how far away the mall is and find the distance too far to be acceptable.

You change your plans, and consider turning around and heading to a good place to sell your rocks. Suddenly, you realize that the best place to sell rocks from outer space would probably be one of the museums in the National Mall. Looks like for you all roads lead to Rome. Travel continues, and at a fairly brisk pace as well.

Estimated Arrival Time: 5-6 Turns.

Fly around and shoot the Volta park at random, destroying possible "soft" landings or attacking Dolosus if he "lands" before I can start the shooting
Go for the pool! Try to enrage ziizo with rude gestures to the point where he can't aim properly.

Init: Ziizo: 6+A lot, DolosusDoleus: 5, Big Guy: 2

8: The duo are falling at high speed, and their small size makes them difficult targets. Instead, you strafe around the park shooting down every good landing zone you can see! People all around the park panic, and run screaming to somewhere safer.

Luk 4: Police are called to the area in responce, as the damage to the city is too great to go unremarked. Furthermore, the local military are on high notice.

DolosusDoleus is deprived of soft targets, and all the good landing zones are aflame! That leaves the pool!

1: However, he fails to shed enough speed, and slams head first into the water! The impact into the water knocks him out. Then, he hits the floor of the pool. This cracks open his skull and finishes him off.

9: The big guy survives the fall completely unscathed. However, he is distraught by the team's failure. He mutters the following through his mask. "With no survivors." He slowly walks over to the machine gun which used to be mounted on the plane, and kills himself with it.

DolosusDoleus is dead! ziizo gains the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_antechinus

Ziizo feels the image of an interesting marsupial crawl into his mind. He can now effortlessly change between that form and his human form, keeping all assets.

Time distortion goes on cooldown. In retrospect I probably made that ability's cooldown too short. Oh well.

Explore in the other direction

10+2: You turn around and head the other way, weaving in and out of traffic in a most impressive way. Your senses stir, and you begin to sense the Edel Raid. You're heading the right way.

fucking femenists,i will get my soccer ball and kick the ball so hard that it will knock one or more of them unconcious,if even one of them will go for a strike,i will start stabbing and cutting them with my sword

Init: PaPaj: 6+2, Rally: 6

8+5+2v8: You prepare a kick as you round the corner. When they arrive, your soccer ball smashes into the phone that was recording you, breaking it instantly. Then, it ricochets and injures several of the others. They're all so shocked by this that they flee after gathering their wounded. Your sword did not need to taste blood on this day quite yet.

Post a video online using my smartphone about the hostile business practice of said local gunstore owner, just try to paint him in the most unfair light possible.

7+3+3v3: You upload a video detailing how apparently unjustly you were treated, inflating the salesman's reasonable behavior to an absurd degree. In your personal opinion, the slandarous video is a masterpiece. Let's see how many people agree.

5+3: Followers of your news agency are riled up by your tale, and begin to bombard the store on social media! Most are unable to visit in person, though one person rushes to D.C. to examine the incident. The video hasn't gone viral yet, but it may do so in time.

Right. Look for some disguise materials. Maybe even a shop selling that sort of thing. Can't be hunted down by another Warrior if they don't recognize me!

10+3: While wandering the city, you find a somewhat active art expo which has materials available very cheaply. You buy up a variety of clothes and other materials, negotiating the already cheap price even lower. After a little work, you have no less than two nearly fool proof disguises. While in a sufficently large crowd, you will be impossible to point out. Suspicious activity will still be noted. If you survive to the finale, your rough location will become public knowledge. (No metagaming to find Fallacy now. Fallacy, I recommend pming or spoiling your actions from now on.)

2: It takes of great deal of time to get into your disguise.

Onward to the Mall then.

5+2: Your journey continues, though your mount is no longer so swift as before. You still greatly outspeed the average runner though, so it isn't all that bad.

Estimated arrival time: 4-5 turns.

Use my knowledge of soccer to find the best place to play soccer in this city surely PajPaj as a fellow soccer enthusiast will be there
I am sad becuse i wasnt able to cut anything open but it still was awsome Okay time to go and actually fight

Init: 7v9

5+4: Papaj searches for an enemy warrior to cut open, and spots a big mail truck towing a fighter plane! That's definitely suspicious, so he starts following it in pursuit. The vehicle is faster than he is though, so it slowly creeps out of sight.

7: PaPaj is certainly a distinctive figure when looking at him from the ground, but ziizo isn't sure about spotting him from the air. Nonetheless, he flies his spacecraft around the city, taking a good look at every sporting place he sees. In the end, everyone looks too similar from this height, and he can't tell a militant mercenary from a mailman.

1: The military and police are stunned in utter disbelief that an alien fighter craft is what devastated Volta Park. They completely fail to mobilize for now as a result.

Keep exploring in this direction.

2+2: You get the feeling that you're being followed as you continue to head south. You're coming up on a small coffee house by the name of Saxbys. Sitting outside is what looks to be a woman with long red hair. She's wearing a fairly simple black dress which looks to go below her knees. You're almost certain that this is who you've been searching for.

We'll meet at the Old Stone House, oldest original building in Washington DC.

Say by to my corgi Norene, scratch her behind the ear, give her a treat,  and promise I'll be back soon.

Gear up and go meet Dr Stone.

"I think that seems managable. He's on this way."

You feed Norene a quick biscuit, pat her on the head and go on your way.

6: You fire up the motorcycle, and check your equipment one more time. Shame you'll have to leave the money behind, but you have to see a man about a sword.

Estimated arrival time: 2-3 turns.

In the meantime, head to a department store, any nearby department store, and buy some steak knives, duct tape, and some PVC piping. As long as it's within my 50$ budget..

3+1: You explore the town in search of such a store. It takes awhile to find one that should have what you desire.

2+3v3: The video picks up a little more steam, and the owner's attempt at damage control does little to help.

7+2: Enemy post continues on at an excellent pace. Every pedestrian crossing is active, every potentially annoying traffic light turns red to prevent cars from blocking him off.

Estimated Arrival Time: 3 Turns.

3: Ziizo cannot find Enemy post, especially considering they have no idea which direction he went. Georgetown is a big place.

Buy 2 steak knives, 1 arm length PVC pipe, and 2 rolls of duct tape. I can't imagine that would go above 50 dollars.

8: You obtain the specified goods easily for the low price of 20 dollars. The knives and pipe are the most expensive.

9+3v9: The mainstream media covers your article. The store open uploads the raw video feed of what happened during your visit in responce. Oh dear, he was recording! Only time will tell if that evidence holds up to the masses.

Park my mail truck out of sight and then talk to the woman

7: You park the truck, and walk up the the woman.

"You're my pledger aren't you?"

You can't see her gem, but she effectively confirms your suspicions.

Starting Location: Georgetown: Washington D.C.

(The article link is broken, and you can find it by now anyway. Let's neaten things up a little.)

Look for a large group of ANTIFA

PaPaj continues onward, and decides to start looking for Antifa members. As he walks down the street, he is approached by a seemingly ordinary man. The man begins to ask a question.

9+3v1: "Excuse me, sir. Would you happen to know where the Grand Blue Cafe is?"

As PaPaj ponders this he is caught completely off guard by the attack that occurs afterward!

Attack: 5+2+2+3+4=16

Defense: 9-2-2+1=6

With the intent of causing a fatal heart attack, this mysterious attacker fires a continuous colossal bolt of lightning! PaPaj's prized metal armor only serves to amplify the attack further, and his whole body is burnt to cinders in a matter of moments. PaPaj lacks the presence of mind to counter attack or even identify his attacker, but his screams will no doubt draw someone's attention.

PaPaj is dead!

Park in the roof of a random building then call iCall I want as many resources as the company can afford to be put into finding the location of the other warriors

5: The space ship slows to a halt atop one of the taller buildings in the city that isn't a skyscraper.

3: You call iCall and demand they put their resources to use by finding where the other Wiki Warriors are.

It doesn't go over too well. You end up stuck talking to some nobody, and it takes you ages to get transferred to someone who can actually do what you want them to do.

"Please hold, your call is very important to us."

Onward!

6+2: Your beast goes onward with renewed strength. You should arrive soon.

Estimated Arrival Time: 2 Turns. (1 turn if you roll an 8, 9, or 10.)

Tape 1 knife to the pipe, craft spear. Post on online message boards to see if the denizens of the internet can help me find the other Wiki Warriors.

10: The spear you create is a masterpiece! You were even able to sharpen the end of the pipe itself and make the grip more ergonomic. This weapon has a good bonus to hit and damage.

7-2: While you were crafting the spear, you had your reporter ally drum up support on message boards to search for Wiki Warriors. You say you're going to be reporting on them, and would like assistance. A few people in the area agree to tell you if they see anything weird, but you doubt it'll amount to much. Say, let's see how that fight against the gun store is doing!

2+2v10: Your article is resoundingly defeated by the video evidence, which includes sound! Your already sort of shabby news outlet takes a hefty hit to its honesty and reliability values. You'll need to publish some proper news (even just filler articles about trivial nonsense) if you want people to care about your newspaper again.

Get to the Old Stone House. Motorcycle road rally sport. Meet Dr Stone.

4+1: After much road rallying, you finally arrive at the Old Stone house. Luckily you find a good place to park, so you rush inside to meet with Dr. Stone.

As you head inside the building, you see a man in the corner wearing a long coat, trousers, and a fedora. A little stereotypical, but he looks to be in good shape. The man is carrying around a few sturdy boxes and bags.

"You must be NAV then. Not sure why you called me here on such short notice, but it must be important. I'll show you what I've got first though."

Artifact Quality: 7

The containers are opened and reveal a wide variety of valuable items. Most are of little offensive value, but you spy some weapons and armor. There's even a couple old flintlock guns! You doubt most of the armor will fit very well, but it should do.

"So, care to explain what this is all about?"

He has a rather skeptical look, but you can tell he's somewhat excited inwardly.

"So, what is your favorite thing to do?"

"Eh? I've always liked painting. What about you?

She accepts your offer, and the two of you get into the mail truck.

What was it again? Ah yes, they had originally headed here to sell their mercury rocks.

You'd take over his current abilities and such, yes. I'm still going to PM him first though.

Equip myself with the combination of biker gear and historic armour that offers the best protection without hindering mobility.

Let Dr. Stone take his pick of the historic artifacts.

Strap the remainder to my motorcycle.

"Good to have you as an ally. We'll make sure everything ends up in a museum. Now lets find a warrior to kill."
Hop on the motorcycle and search for a wiki warrior.

Take my group of Neo-Nazis and search for a gun shop owned by a right-wing individual. Encourage my buddies with propaganda along the way. If we find a such a gun shop, utilize my political or propaganda skills (whichever is more relevant) to convince the owner to join our cause and/or provide us with weapons for free or at a largely discounted price.

Potentially. Its a difficult decision, and I'll just have to wing it. Also fixed.

(Also we generally just call that a drive through in my personal experience.)

Turn should be up soon.

Edit: Still a work in progress. End of the 27th at the latest.

Take a quick tour of the Mall on uintatherium-back.

 5+2: You explore the National Mall. In the future, you'll get a decent bonus to finding things or places in this area.


Spoiler: Anonymity (click to show/hide)

Abandon roof and fly around until finding a fast food place with the thing that let's you order from a car whose name I don't know because English is not my native language.

1: You start up your star fighter, and everything seems to be going as usual at first. But as you depart the roof of the skyscraper you landed on, the engines suddenly sputter out!

7: Fortunately, you manage to regain control of the craft.

9: As you were descending, you noticed a fast food place that you would probably be able to visit and order take out from.

6: You make a decent landing, and drive up to the take out lane. The person ahead of you finishes their order, and after they pull forward you are free to make your own.

"Welcome to Burger Town, may I take your order?"

What do you order?

Head to the location of the electrical frying, ask around about Wiki Warriors.

4: You travel through to city, and barely navigate to the location of the frying. The smell of smoke and blood lingers in the air. There appears to be a police detail here investigating the scene. No less than 3 squad cars are nearby, and the area has already been roped off. Looks like they work fast in Washington D.C.

Flies have already begun to gather on the corpse of a man in ancient armor. He appears to have his arm on the hilt of his sword, but he never got to draw it.

10: You search for people to ask questions about Wiki Warriors. All the civilians have already been cleared out of the area, so you are left with no choice but to approach the police if you want to ask questions.

"Hold it. This is a crime scene. State your business."

You ask them about Wiki Warriors. They eye your spear suspiciously, but carry on.

"We probably shouldn't be telling you this. However, this whole situation is awfully suspicious. We've got no leads to the perpetrator. Its almost like nobody was ever here. Given the situation with the Wars being hosted here, we have no choice to assume that Warriors were involved in an attack like this. Technically since no one else died this is out of our hands, but this fighting is making a mess of the city. We're still sorting out all that nonsense about a space ship attacking Volta Park."

The officer sighs for a moment.

"If you've got any questions in particular, speak up. You're probably a warrior yourself, but I want to put an end to this as soon as possible. If there's some sort of information I can give you to make that happen, let me know what it might be."

Equip myself with the combination of biker gear and historic armour that offers the best protection without hindering mobility.

Let Dr. Stone take his pick of the historic artifacts.

Strap the remainder to my motorcycle.

"Good to have you as an ally. We'll make sure everything ends up in a museum. Now lets find a warrior to kill."
Hop on the motorcycle and search for a wiki warrior.

2: You look over the selection of artifacts, and put together what you think is a decent set of well fitting protective armor. There doesn't seem to be much of that sort here though. Most of your time is spent getting into the stuff. Dr. Stone gets the rest of it stored safely on your vehicle.

Go in and purchase painting supplies

5+3: You do so. It costs you $30 to get a decent amount, but the quality is high. You can tell thanks to your artistic experience, among other things. She seems pleased with them, but you're holding onto them for now as she doesn't have a good place to keep them.

AO Action
Take my group of Neo-Nazis and search for a gun shop owned by a right-wing individual. Encourage my buddies with propaganda along the way. If we find a such a gun shop, utilize my political or propaganda skills (whichever is more relevant) to convince the owner to join our cause and/or provide us with weapons for free or at a largely discounted price.

2+3+1: You use your skills in propaganda and politics to get together a group that will follow you. It numbers 3 strong. A decent start, you suppose.

3: Unfortunately, you have a far harder time finding a gun shop, let alone one that fits your criteria.

Skipping NRDL for now.

Order whatever I can pay in the menu. Then call Icall again and see if they got some information about the other warriors locations.

You grab a combo meal, and park in the lot.

4: Your call goes through. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to find much location wise yet.

"Know of any good places where we could show off our talent?"
If she does, go there. Otherwise find an area where we could set up to paint.

2: She isn't sure. She hasn't been in this city very long.

7: You drive around the city and find a decent place to start painting.

Ride my motorcycle and search for some wiki warriors to slay.

8+1: You ride off in search of warriors. By sheer luck, you stumble upon ziizo's space ship!

Pedal to the metal! Evasively drive my motorcycle closer to the A-Wing, within boarding range! Draw my Svendsen Ice Sabre!

Doctor Stone should shoot at Ziizo with antique firearms. The A-wing cockpit should be open since he was just at a drive-thru.

Well, this certainly took long enough. I think I've figured out my problem in term of schedule, so that's something.

Ask the officer the last known direction any suspects were seen fleeing towards, as well as their physical description. Anything else that comes to mind would be greatly appreciated, then I'll get out of his hair.
(Its okay, I really should have asked sooner in retrospect.)

1: They inform you that there weren't any witnesses, or even any cctv footage. They're still going through the area, but haven't found any way to identify a potential suspect yet. The chief apologizes, but asks you to leave before more specialized help arrives.

Buy as many guns as I and my fellow neo-nazis can afford. Then go off in search of wiki warriors to shoot.

9: Evidently, your crew has a decent pool of funds available. You all get a basic handgun. This exhausts your monetary supply after extra ammo is aquired.

A target YAY, Shoot my spaceship guns in NAV direction so even if I fail the explosions caused have a chance to harm her
"Dr Stone, hang on and light him up!"
Pedal to the metal! Evasively drive my motorcycle closer to the A-Wing, within boarding range! Draw my Svendsen Ice Sabre!

Doctor Stone should shoot at Ziizo with antique firearms. The A-wing cockpit should be open since he was just at a drive-thru.

Init: 10, 4, 7

5v9+1: Ziizo pivots the A-Wing around and opens fire on the motorcycle! Despite the high speed of the projectiles, NAV avoids the attack with her racing skills!

3+1v3:  Dr. Stone fires an old flintlock pistol at the space fighter pilot!

End 4: The inaccurate projectile grazes off ziizo's left shoulder, cutting it open!

8v4: NAV draws the Svendsen Ice Sabre! The air around the combatants chills in an instant! Before ziizo can react, she has already slashed it across his upper body!

End 1: The strike tears into a number of major organs! Bloods stains the A-Wing's cockpit as ziizo wretches in pain!

Well, time to get started painting

9+1+3: You begin painting a battlefield with planes and boats in the style of manga. It is already quite the piece!

6+3: Your companion also begins to paint. It looks like she's making a painting of you.

Your imprompto exhibition begins to gather a few onlookers. They seem quite interested.

Assuming I've got about a pound of rocks, offer to sell it for $360,000.

Bartering 9: You're not much of a merchant, but you decide to offer a flagrantly ridiculous price as a way of testing the waters. People do that sometimes right?

Surprisingly, your offer doesn't seem too far off from reality. They ask you to come into the museum and have the rocks tested. If they pass inspection, they'll see about finding you a buyer. They say it shouldn't take long. Just about (1 turn). You do indeed have about a pound of rocks. Would you like to accept their offer?

(I apparently undervalued the worth of this starting item. Such is Wiki Wars. Do note that the museum doesn't actually have that much cash. If this goes through I'll probably have it wired to a bank account that you just happen to have or something.)
