Hmm, so atath makes no corrections for the players, then?  Hmm..

[AoshimaMichio]

"Mm... If Hawk takes djinn and duplication, NAV's nova strategy is much less likely to work; duplication allows Hawk to not instantly die when NAV teleports onto him and the djinn will cause damage to NAV when absorbed if it is made out of a harmful element. Demon summoning will also greatly help Hawk, due to NAV's position in the contest. The demons and the lower god might fight, however, so Hawk will probably have to chose only one of them. I recommend demons. Illusions can also help reveal NAV and prevent him from instantly absorbing Hawk. Also, NAV's amorphous body might freeze, while Hawk will be mostly unaffected. Now that I've thought about it, I will bet on Hawk."

If that wasn't clear, I bet on Hawk.

"Oh, you're changing your mind then? Records say you bet on NAV as tournament winner during quarterfinals. I guess I should remind you that changing your bet will result the prize being same as betting simple match winner, as is case with everybody else~ Earlier you bet for tournament winner, greater the prize will be~
So, how it will be?"

"Did I? Well, I'm still betting on Hawk. Unless one of NAV's spells is something really exploitable or powerful, I just don't see him winning. This will still get me the prize for betting before the match and betting correctly on every match, right?"

Hawk132 vs NAV!

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

Once again were-djinn, three headed mechanoid roc and partridge appears on the battlefield, no introductions needed here.

You find yourself in a forest, though it ends just few meters west of you and opens into someone's backyard. Dead birches and evergreens surround you, a meter thick layer of snow cooling lubricants in roc's four legs making them harder to move. Djinn is already in trouble as its heat melts snow around and threatens to put out his flames. And cold weather isn't really helping. It's around 60° C colder here than in semifinals, so you can really feel it.

Sun is low in southern horizon, casting long shadows and almost blinding everyone thanks to so much white snow reflecting every single ray of light.

Spoiler: NAV (click to show/hide)

Yet another monster from twisted nightmares of sick mind appears. Shoggoth mixed with a cannabis plant, forming a dark greenish wriggling mass of leaves full of eyes and mouths, with large rubbery wings (because that thing apparently doesn't have legs).

You are on hill overlooking forest and city in north. You can barely see anything else than trees and rooftops of nearby buildings. Snow is deep here, around a meter and you can feel heat sapping away from your body already.

"While finalists duke it out I have a proposal for contestants who lost their matches. A shadow tournament, where you get single random fighting capable creature of your chosen class (mammal, bird, lizard...) and one random mutation of your chosen type (physical, mental, psychic power, super power or supernatural attribute) that is actually useful in fights. We'll dump ya all into same hole at same time, so it is more a battle royale than tournament. Everytime you kill your opponent you get their cards which you can instantly put in use."

"So, Illgeo, FallacyOfUrist, Toaster, Peradon, Salsacookies and Devastator. What you say? Wanna fight for title of Shadow Champion? And if winner is decided fast enough, you might even get to hinder people in finals~"

SUMMON EVERYTHING!

Roc splits and flies up into the air to scout. One of them flies up really high (pretty sure you know why).

Djinn tries to get a read on auras. Maybe I'll detect NAV.

Partridge tries to cloak everyone on the ground as snow.

[Generally me]

Can people not in the tournament join battle royale

What kind illusions? That power is kinda like supernatural makeup, changing how things appear. It won't make you invisible, but it can make you look different, whatever is more into your liking. Read Devastators turns, if you didn't already, to see what kind effect it has.

It is more meant for those who participated this first tournament and lost. But if any of dropouts drop out, then I guess we have opening.

Might as well

Edited my post to make beings on the ground be concealed as snow.

[Peradon]

Sure, battle royal time!

Spoiler: My choice.... (click to show/hide)

Class: Mammal
Mutation: Supernatural Attribute

[AoshimaMichio]

So available creature types for shadow tournament are

• Amphibians and Reptiles
• Aquatic Animals
• Birds
• Mammals

Note these are only mundane creatures. Beings that have most certainly existed. So no rocs, griphons or such, but for example dinosaurs are in (listed in type I, btw).

And mutations are

• Physical mutation
• Mental mutation
• Psychic power
• Super power
• Supernatural attribute

[Toaster]

Reptile with super-powers.

Not much on volunteers here yet for battle royale. Non-tournament participants can start lining up now. Tournament losers have priority though, but I'm not gonna wait for them very long.
