Not at All

[Persus13]

Oh, most important question: can we consider my statements about the Bastard family making up 70% of the population of the multiverse true?

Why not? Of course, knowing a few of the Writers, the Bastards are probably kept in some isolated torture dimension, where they actually fight to the death for the sole purpose of being able to sign up for Looter's Delight and escape the hell that is their life. Or something like that. Some of the older Writers are kind of dickish...

Why would anyone sign up to do this? It's a one-way ticket to a strange world that everyone knows will end in death, probably painful.

Well, lots of reasons. You could be from somewhere in the multiverse that is completely awful, and see LD as a better alternative. You could have been drawn in by the flashy advertisements. You may even have been drugged or knocked out in an alleyway, only to wake up next to a cheerful man in a brown-suit, telling you to sign some sort of waiver. Or maybe you're just crazy.

Or maybe signing up gives your family lts of money. Or stops them from being shot. It could be an alternative to going to prison. An oppressive dictatorship could require tributes from each district to serve. Or maybe someone's terminally ill and want to die fighting instead of being weak and shriveled on a hospital bed. Or they could be just plain dumb. Or told they could win.

Knowing the Bastards, they're the one's orchestrating said tournaments.

Those...those...

Darn.

They chose the name for that exact purpose.
Magnificent Bastards.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I wouldn't say Magnificent Bastards. That requires them to be, well, Magnificent. Or at least intelligent and stylish, which they are neither.

They're just...bastards.

Or dying doesn't bother them somehow, like how the Green Cloaks can survive death once in a single universe.

Once, period, or once, per universe?

I assume my weapon was a roll of 4, then? How is loot categorized, only by what it is and elements, or are there other factors?

[Squill]

How dangerous is my possibly blood-thirsty sheet of paper?
Also, is the airship I'm in actually headed somewhere, or am I just randomly flying around?
And now, an action for when you can write!
Put the paper somewhere safe without touching it, then man a weapon that seems like I can operate it.

It's categorized by what it is, what it does, and one spoilery bit that cannot be explained yet, because it relates to the story behind loot.

You should be very glad that the paper has never touched your skin. Very, very glad.
And your ship is headed somewhere pretty cool. Depending on whether or not you luck out with encounters, you'll be there this coming turn.

[superBlast]

((Man am I glad I didn't miss a turn.... for some reason my email decided not to tell me there was new post.))

Evil Lucky let's out a sigh of relief that his stupidity of not being cautious didn't cost him his love. "Boy that could've gone badly. Ok, rule number one, stay away from eltricity for your sake. Rule number two, make sure whatever we plan to torture isn't too dangerous. Anyways, let's go cook up this bird before we start exploring shall we.... wait... can you even eat, Aurwyn? I mean... I'm still not even 100% sure what you are hahaha."

Start looking around for stuff to make a fire, anything that would work really. Then start cooking up the bird. If we run into anything remotely dangerous or seemingly dangerous, hide and observe it first before I do something potentially stupid again.

VG also thanks Sam, and heads back to the plane, keeping her eyes peeled for any opportunities for loot.

Okay, now I have a question:

How many more turns until I find out what this throne room will do for me?
