>Return home and ensure my sisters have their breakfast and are on their way to school before heading to the Stadium.

[NAV]

"Okay, fine then. I will lead us to glory and victory. You're going down blues!"

Lead the red team.

[piecewise]

Gooood. I got all the bets, so I won't bother quoting all of them here.

>Return home and ensure my sisters have their breakfast and are on their way to school before heading to the Stadium.

Sure sure, feeding the children. How kind and so and so. I'm sure they're gonna grow up into big..whatever we're talking about.

And we have our team leaders! The Host says as the camera zooms back in on him, catching a half second of the team leaders being caught by the stage hands and dragged away. This next game is a favorite in the home version of Dead Man Running, and a veteran from our very first season. We call it "CUTTING EDGE!"

The camera zooms back out to show the team leaders who have been strapped, spread eagle, to enormous rotating circular boards. Around them, radiating out like a dart board, are individually colored and labeled sections with point values written on them. The point values get higher as they get closer to the body of the team leader, and even higher around their head, neck and torso. The rest of the teams have been herded over to a small table  that is a good distance from the rotating board. Atop the table are 10 throwing knives, carefully laid out and evenly spaced.  The tables and the rotating boards set up for the teams are maybe 20 feet away from each other and parallel to each other.

The purpose here should be fairly self explanatory. You're trying to get those knives into that board and score as many points as you can! The team with the highest point count wins the challenge! The individual with the highest point count on the winning team is the winner over all, and the one with the lowest point count on the losing team is the loser and must participate in a punishment game! How you divide the knives up amongst yourselves if for you to decide, but keep this in mind: If your team leader dies before the round is over, then you automatically forfeit the match! Be careful! There's no time limit here, but the board will rotate faster the longer this drags on!

READY? SET? THROW!

[Xantalos]

Imma grab all of these knives here.

Grab at least 6 knives. Throw one near throat of team leader.

I like my dexterity spam now.

Shoot the red team leader with my revolver. Aim for his stomach area, since that is hopefully in about the same place throughout the whole spin. Or aim for whatever part of the red team leader is in the middle of that spinning board, if it is not the stomach for some reason. Then go and grab a knife.

... Damn my luck. That is all I have to say.

Test the bonds, get a feel for the range of motion available. Do what I can to dodge XD

(( Yeah, just shoot NAV. If he dies quickly, then this is all over at minimum risk to me (and potentially you guys, if a brawl is started over there )

Relatedly, NAV, does this feel like some sort of weird parallel to our fight in the elimination round? XD ))

"Why are you trying to make me lose my bet?"

[NAV]

"Umm, guys? We don't have any doctors this round. So be extremely cautious and conservative with your throws. Or someone could just shoot Kriellya to death. 2 point bonus to whoever does that.

And could someone please make some bandages?"

((It feels like some sort of weird parallel to both the elimination round and the penalty round.))

[Toaster]

"He'll be fine.  Let's get some points!"


Grab a couple knives, or half what's remaining, or whatever.  Throw one at a higher (but not highest) point value near his head.  If that hits, throw one at his crotch, which is probably hilariously high valued.

Cromwell see's Mason whip out his revolver and aim it at Navarro. He seems to try and stop him by doing some sort of diving leap onto the gunman, but is far to injured to manage anything but a little hop and then trip and fall to his knees. Mason, his action unhindered, gets a bit caught up in the moment and shoots Navarro three times in the stomach. Navarro, bleeding heavily but seemingly unphased, just yells abuse at him, insinuating that he shoots like a "leprous prostitute" and that his mother was a "Quadriplegic pacifist coffee table substitute."  His injuries and rage seem to be effecting his ability to think a bit. Allen grab for two knives from the table, intent on hurling them directly at the center of the board, right where Navarro is hanging. Luckily he misses with the first one and just cuts himself trying to pick up the second.

Xen Sweeps more then half the knives up off the table and hurls one of them at a space near Kri's throat. He luckily doesn't hit her, but the knife hits with it's handle instead of the blade and just bounces off. Kriellya, feeling a bit nervous about having people hurl knives at her, tries to squirm and dodge about, but find herself completely unable to move. Larry grabs the remaining three knives that are left after the rest of his team has taken their share, and hurls two toward the board. One sticks into the 50 point mark above Kri's head, and the other embeds itself into the 25 point marker between her  knees.

Oh, Blue team off to an early lead with 75 points AND a badly injured opponent. Things are looking bad for red team!
