Right out of the gate, The Two Eternities (whichever ones those may be) lunges at Puppyguard with the rage of a thousand Rajneeshees in order to grab her pistol! [7 v 7] However, Puppyguard deftly sidesteps the Argentinian wiki-warrior's lunge leaving The Two Eternities grabbing nothing but air!

Rockeater, being of a less aggressive, more business-focused mind, barks out a quick "Looking like a promising company, so let's help" before ducking into a nearby office in search of a job interview! After about a minute of running around the dusty industrial compound, she bursts into a low building labeled "Recruitment", in which sits an overall generic looking man. Upon closer inspection, it appears that this gentleman is sound asleep, as evidenced by his closed eyes, light snoring, and thin string of drool dripping out of his mouth and in between the keys of his keyboard.

Having just narrowly avoided being tackled by The Two Eternities, Puppyguard turns her pistol upon her assailant, eyes burning with righteous indignation! [9 v 3] Using her extensive police training, she swiftly directs three bullets right into The Two Eternities' shoulder blades, sending him sprawling on the ground!

Seeing the brutal display of police brutality unfolding in front of them, King Zultan makes a beeline away from the melee and straight into the closest building! Inside, he sees several workers wearing hazmat suits similar to his own, too focused on the assembly line in front of them to pay him any mind. With this reprieve from the action, he takes the time to scan the immediate area for something, anything that could count as a weapon. [Searching: 8] After a cursory glance, King Zultan sees a nail gun lying on a nearby table, which he quickly scoops up without anyone noticing!

Thinking along the same lines as Rockeater, NAV too runs away in search of a job, whilst screaming "Have fun killing each other. I have a job interview to get to!" However, while Rockeater was searching for a low-level job, NAV is looking to go straight to the top by obtaining an interview with Elon Musk himself! It doesn't take long for the Irish wiki-warrior to find Elon's private office, but unfortunately it appears that his way forward is blocked by a locked door and the keycard reader next to it. Looks like Mr. Musk is a big fan of personal security.

Clad in priestly garments, the immortal wiki-warrior known as Fluffee comes to the startling, if somewhat blasphemous, realization that they could easily convince some of the local workers that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ! Quickly hopping in his caravan, he quickly drives over to Gigafactory 1's communal dining facility, whereupon he begins proselytizing at the assorted workers! [Proselytizing: 1 + 2 (Theology)]. However, despite his fine usage of Christian language, the workers seem confused at best and outright enraged at worst, muttering and grumbling amongst themselves.

Squinting at the battle unraveling before them with the elderly man known as Mr. Plinkett, Hotfire quickly comes to a conclusion. After whispering into Mr. Plinkett's ear, he pulls a can of spinach out of his pocket and downs the whole thing in a single gulp! As his muscles grow to a cartoonishly large size, he swaggers over to the huge chunk of 1996 PW, lifts it up with a single arm, and and sends the 10 ton chunk of rock sailing through the air towards Puppyguard! [1 v 10] Despite the asteroid chunk's impressive size, or rather because of it, Hotfire has an extremely hard time actually getting the giant piece of rock anywhere near Puppyguard and instead misses her by at least 15 feet!

Not wishing to waste any time, NRDL hops into her antique biplane and takes to the skies! [Flying: 3] Or she would, anyway, if she actually managed to get the damn thing off the ground in the first place. Rather, the engine putters pathetically and the plane haphazardly lurches forward around 10 feet before grinding to a halt. How disappointing.

Finally there is roseheart, who sneakily sneaks away from the combat, ducking into yet another nearby building! (Gigafactory 1, as the name would suggest, is pretty big). Through the front door of this building lies a large open room, full of chairs, vending machines, and water coolers. Around one such water cooler in particular stand a group of six burly workers, having a conversation.

It That Reveals slowly lifted itself up from the wet, gentle streams of foggy essence dripping from Its lucid, ever-shifting form. Lazily, It shifted back and forth to take in the sprawling opportunity that lay in the inky vastness of this world. Now, if only It could see what lied beyond the spores...

Slowly, the essence surrounding It began to pool in the flowing waters, enveloping some of the grey creatures, pushing and molding their forms into a more... useful manner. Their bodies shifted and strengthened to provide the ability to swim for days on end, their internal systems to provide sustenance from the ever-present spores, and most importantly a mind that could perfectly record everything they saw, for later extraction.

It That Reveals creates the Seekers, turning some of the small grey creatures into organic video recorders!

”...hm”

Go to the blacksmith to see about some better armor, and then I’m ready to go. The ruins sound nice.

((I'm pretty much just going for the DD Leper, plus a healthy dose of DEUS VULT once the combat really starts.))

"Hm. Is the dungeon truly that terrible? I heard stories, of course, but wrote them off as old wives tales conjured up to scare children, nothing more."

"I would advise you all to stay back. I am not well."

On the fringes of the Mojave Desert lies Gigafactory 1, a lithium battery production facility used exclusively by the Tesla Corporation. In many ways, this is a day just like any other; the workers bustle along in their jobs, the machinery is running smoothly, and the steady hum of industry permeates the whole of the complex.

In one very specific way, today is a day unlike any other. In the center of the complex, unprotected by the murderous heat of the sun, stand nine particularly unusual individuals in a circle. No one is entirely sure where they came from, nor are they sure of what they are doing besides glowering at each other. Nobody is quite sure what that piercing whistling sound is either; it started several hours ago, and it hasn't wavered in tone, pitch, or volume since. Little do they know what lies in store once it stops.

High noon. The perfect time for a showdown. The games begin now.

Do we know about the other player's abilities?
For example, if fluffee died for the first time, would we know he can resurrect?

Yes, it is assumed that all of you know about each other's abilities.

Player sheets up in new thread. I'm going to lock this thread now.
