Round 2: Running Away Like HeroesLocation: Crettyard, County Laois, IrelandSalsacookies whips out his Chunk of Belgian Black Marble and hoists it up, chucking it at Hawk132's face. [8 VS. 1] Hawk doesn't even have the time to get into a defensive karate chance before the rock-sized marble chunk smashes into his forehead. The business man wavers on his feet for a few moments before falling over and collapsing onto the pavement unconscious.
High tyrol hits the ground on his stomach and flips up the tripod on his Medium Machine Gun, giving it additional stability to fire. (+2 Accuracy) He trains the gun on Peradon and lets loose. (10+2 VS. 5) Peradon reaches for his Six-Shooter, and just as he gets the revolver out of his holster, a steady wall of bullets tears his limbs from his body, his torso into two pieces and cleaves his head right off of his body. The body parts and blood of what was once Peradon fly backwards and form a straight trail, indicating the location of the tournament's first victim.
High tyrol has S.A.W.'d Peradon apart!
He gains the Article: Benjamin W. ChidlawNAV decides she stands no stance fighting and makes a run for it. [10] As the gunshots and chunks of marble begin to fly, NAV sprints across the asphalt, bounds through the school and out the other side, scales a chest-high brick wall, flies past a small forest, comes to a row of houses and vaults a few picket fences before she stops to catch her breath. Looking around and hearing nothing but normal sounds of people walking and cars trucking along, she feels safe enough to slow down. NAV wanders around until she locates a small library, which she goes inside and sits her bottom down in the cushy seat of her Bejeweled Chair in front of a public computer. [7+2] Her new blog, 'Emerald Pride' quickly gains followers with her lengthy and proactive articles claiming that British have had their "greedy fingers" in her motherland's affairs for too long. After setting up a PayPal account, she has $30 within the first hour of the site going online.
Person escorts himself away from the combat zone and goes off to find a telephone. A few blocks away, Person finds a nice man tending his lawn who allows the General to use his phone. Person thanks him and goes off to a quiet corner to secretly order a bombing run on the Hamlet.
Soldier #1: "Sir, are you sure about this? Winning the tournament is important to you, I know, but this is an allied country. Think of the international repercussions, there are a ton of civilians in the surrounding area...."
Soldier #2: "Also, you're right in the spot you're ordering an attack on. This is extremely danger close."
Soldier #1: "When has the General ever cared about danger close?"
Micelus leaps over High tyrol as the machine gun tears Peradon apart and he runs over to his Zzoom, climbing aboard the system and driving it away from the meeting spot. He rolls it to the edge of the border are and waits. The Zzoom was created to fight off mainly aircraft and armor, and doesn't shoot low enough to serve as a proper anti-infantry device. Still, maybe it can be repurposed for other actions...
Execute/Dumbo.exe jumps on the bandwagon for the popular action of GTFO'ing. [8] Execute runs down the street, takes a left onto another street to break a direct line of sight anyone else would have on him, and runs into a house for good measure. He barges in on a family eating supper and excuses himself before crossing the kitchen to sit on the couch in the living room. He examines the wine further, [7+2] and considering both the age of the wine, its process of cultivation, its flavor and the company bottling it, he could easily get $500-600 for it, possibly more with a good bargain.
Hawk132 unleashes a storm of kung-fu, running up to Salsacookies first and hitting him with a roundhouse kick so powerful it takes off his head. The rest of the competitors suffer karate chops, uppercuts and butterfly kicks that sever spinal chords and break skulls. If all of this had not been just unconscious visions on Hawk's end, he surely would have won by now.

I would usually write up an intro for each player, but I wanted to just get this out here. To get everyone's attributes I had to go through hundreds of:
*Species of beetles and algae.
*Marginally successful soccer players.
*Politicians who ran one time.
*Communes in France.
*Badly written articles on obscure foreign movies.
*More goddamn French communes.
*One terrifying BDSM device that came with pictures.
