Yeah, um...scratch that. I have the flu. I'll update as soon as I get better, though. Hopefully that's soon.

Hope you get well soon! :3

Most unfortunate.  This would not do.

Return fire with TOAST.
[1 Vs. 2+1] Spawning some more toast into the launcher, you cook it to, like, 100 fucking degrees or some shit, and...

It flops out onto the ground. Crap, that bullet really did some damage to you.

You're about to load some more bread, when another shot rings out, and another, and another! All of them connect, sending you soaring towards to stone arch behind you.

[NEGATIVE 1 TOUGHNESS]

The impact with the rocky wall send pieces of your body flying in all directions, and you can feel your battery draining quickly. In fact, you can see you battery draining out onto the ground.

Well, that was a good run.

"Hah! Perfect! A complete view of all of the targets for my pickings!"

Slide down and go in sneak mode, using my time stop to forward myself when needed.
[2+1] Sliding wouldn't be the best idea, seeing how much your hands are shaking right now. Damn it's cold up there...

You manages to get down to a few rungs above the roof, when you look around to examine the battlefield. Including that one person aiming an bow right at you! You let go of the antenna, the arrow barely missing you as you crash through the wooden roof, relatively unharmed. Luckily, the arena...people pay for all repairs to the arena itself.

You think.

Drop the car on Tupac.
[2+2 Vs. 4+1]
Now that you realize that cars are rather heavy, even for a dragon, you decide that the best place to unload it would be...

Ah, yes, right on top of it's owner! Genius!

Flapping your way over, you try waiting for just the right moment to drop the car, which happens to be....

NOW!

You drop the cars, and it plummets down to earth, but just before it touches down, the gangster you were aiming for dives out of the way, and puts a bullet in the red guy's head, only for him to land unharmed right underneath the falling luxury car. Whoops.

Well, you killed someone. So that's a success!

[GWG GETS 2 KILL POINTS]

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:
Done and Done:

Kill someone that uses a Toughness Point to come back to life, only for them to be killed again.
Reward: Spell of Choice (Within Reason)
Recipients: 2Pac and GWG

Point at the sky clear opposite of the arena. At that point, open a portal to the elemental plane of Liquid Tungsten.
[1-1]
Taking out your notebook where you write down certain useful incantations, you point across the arena, and shout several strange words, before closing the book and waiting...

And waiting...

And waiting...

Until you hear the unmistakable sound of a portal opening! You wait in anticipation for the molten metal to begin pouring out...

Before you yourself are engulfed in the liquid tungsten! Maybe you should get better handwriting before you scribble down spells for use later.

[Derm gains 1 Darwin Point]

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:
And the Darwin Award goes to...

Get the first Darwin Point
Reward: Bragging Rights. What? You killed yourself and expect a reward?
Recipient: Derm

RESPAWN?

Get on my moose. Ride down Tupac
[4 Vs. 6+1] Hopping on your majestic stalli-oh who are we kidding it's a fucking moose.

You hop on the goddamn moose and rush the gangster bastard. However, at the last second, he leaps out of the way and OW FUCKING SHIT OW HELL AH.

Everything fades to black, and you feel your body hit the ground.

[1 Toughness Point Used]

Only to wake up seconds later without your shield and no moose in sight. Shit, whatever that bastard did to you must have scared off Bullwinkle.

You get up shakily, and sigh, knowing that this is going to be a long day.

[5 Vs. 2]

Or not. As you finish brushing yourself off, you're suddenly engulfed in a large shadow, before being brutally crushed by a falling Lamborghini. Ouch.

RESPAWN?

Swap out AK47 for Magnum Revolver. Give Captain Canada a proper thug execution.
[5+1 Vs. 2]
Watching as the Mountie Moron mounts his moose, you place your AK back into that inexplicable bag of holding of yours, and pull out the Revolver. Suddenly, the sorta-towering-but-not-really animal charges right at you! You dive out of the way and plug a shot or two into the Canadian's head, sending him to the ground.

You're about to walk away, when the moose runs off and the Captain...gets up? Weird...

However, he isn't up for long, as he's immediately crushed by...HOLY SHIT THAT WAS YOUR CAR!

:(

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:
Done and Done:

Kill someone that uses a Toughness Point to come back to life, only for them to be killed again.
Reward: Spell of Choice (Within Reason)
Recipients: 2Pac and GWG


Liquify, and move at pace to meet (and slam into, with force) the source of the falling related noise
[3-1] Man, it's really hard to melt without heat. Sure, you managed to form yourself into a bunch of spikes earlier through sheer willpower, but you definitely can't do that again. At least, not yet. Man, if only someone would build a fire next to you. It's really just common courtesy.

KILL ORANGE.
[N/A] Getting a rather unsettling vibe from the orange toaster, you take several steps towards, only to watch it inexplicably fly into a rock and shatter.

Well, that solves THAT problem.

The marine quickly situated himself, it wasn't the first time he had been dumped into a dangerous situation.
The Marine rushes to the closest cover, and then starts looking for enemies.
[4+1]
Noticing an alarming amount of stuff happening in the lower level, and some weird hunter girl up above, you decide the best idea would be to fall back. And fall back you do, heading into one of the arena's old Spawn Rooms and taking cover behind a wall. That should do for the time being.

Continue to take advantage of my position. fire upon anyone that attacks me. if nobody attacks me then fire upon whomever I have the best shot at. I'd prefer to use the bow, but if they look like arrows can't hurt them effectively (see: elephant, giant blob of water, etc) then use my arm-cannon. If anyone looks to be prone to getting in meele with me, keep my distance from them, and if anyone attacks me with ranged weapons, dodge the attack.
[1+5 Vs. 6+1] Crouching down and loading an arrow into the bow, you look around for a target. Suddenly, movement from the centre antenna catches your eye. Squinting a bit, you notice someone climbing down, rather slowly. Taking aim, you release an arrow at him, only for him to suddenly let go of the structure and crash through the room of the building! The arrow flies past him, pretty much harmlessly. Phooey.


Vic fires off another few shots at the kitchen appliance.
[6+1 Vs. 3]
Peeking your head out of the house, you take aim at the poor toaster, and squeeze off a few shots, all of which connect!

You watch as the orange device flies haphazardly towards the stone archway, shattering on impact and filling you with satisfaction.

But only for a few moments, until something crashes through the roof behind you, almost sending you tumbling out of the doorway to the ground below! Thankfully that doesn't ACTUALLY happen, but it could have!

[Vic Sage gets 2 Kill Points!]


Send out the ice demon to attack the closest person and summon up another fire demon
[4+1+1]
The ice demon complies and floats on over to the sheet of ice on the lower level, detecting a strange life force coming from it.

Meanwhile, you sit down again, and summon a rather neat-looking fire demon, complete with heat barrier around it. It's about as tall as you, and she seems ready to fight!

Ice Demon:
[6 Vs. 6]
However, when the ice demon gets to the sheet of ice, he realizes that ice moves aren't very effective against other ice types. So he gives up and goes off returns to his master.

You weren't cloaked, seeing as how you had just been chucked out a window and probably didn't have enough time for the watch to be active. I treat the Cloak N Dagger as activating when one didn't move much the previous turn and is staying still for the majority of the turn used.

Move into gauss rifle range of the hunter girl.  Fire off a burst at her, try to stay in cover if possible.

Vic ignores the crashing behind him, for the moment at least. "Tsk, tsk. Shame I had to do that to the little thing. Some toast would be divine right now..."
He notices the newcomer to the room and fires off a quick shot before... stepping back and dropping out the doorway to the ground below. Possibly even doing a flip or two before landing, as flair is pretty damned important.
