((Welp, if Feyri has a say I guess the tournament's lethality is gonna get ramped up. ))
Floki found a seat for himself on the couch, shoving some nerdy-looking person aside if necessary.
"What we watchin'?" He noticed Sambo sitting there and stifled a snicker, returning his attention to the TV screen and lounging back.
>Make room for self on couch. Watch TV. Smirk inwardly at Sambo.
>Wait for tournament to begin.
You sit on the couch, idly watching an ad about discount cocaine substitutes while waiting for the tournament to start.
Feyri blinked at the mention of 'people.'
"Err...we're on the topic of 'tracking companions, right?
...
"Why are people needed there again?"
Stay cautious while asking.
"If you want to make something you've got to have the raw materials. You want a creature, I need the flesh to make it."
Tokens in hand, Jim goes back to get his scrap metal and dueling swords. This time he remakes them as standard longswords; if tokens are on the line, then they're going to have to be earned. And if this is going to be broadcast, it should be entertaining.
(I was kind of hoping for a bigger turn-out, but eight's good, really. We'd need sixteen to have even brackets beyond that, but anyway it works out that no one gets a 'free' round. Best of luck to the participants! ^^^ Once I finish making these slightly more lethal I think we - meaning Tir and I, the organizers - will be ready for the tourney to begin.)
Now, to save time, This is what I propose. You have a rather silly amount of metal so in return for, say, 30 lbs of it, we'll say that you worked and slaved and fucked up dozens of times before finally making not just two long swords, but also, lets say, 5 pairs of any other weapons you'd like (knives, axes, maces, etc) just to give your participants a bit of variety in choosing their weapons.
Does this sound reasonable to you?
