Wait, I though the group summoned him. Also, as long as his heat doesn't just off when I'm a certain distance away from him, I can most certainly use him as a campfire.

Lure him to the inside of the building (move the rest of us inside), then gang up on him when he's inside. Use his corpse as a campfire.

Sleeper sleeps.

"Luring" implies you have control of the situation. You do not have control of the situation. Running in snow with legs that make the snow melt is damn hard. The firman appears above Adam and bats him into head horribly hard. This causes Adam's head go equally numb as his arm is, which further makes it hard. His burning heat melts deep impression into snow under you. Without functional wings you'll never climb up there. Second strike cracks Adam's head open and kills it.

You know, you are fighting against a lesser god. So far it has been very one sided.

Rest of your bodies climb inside of the station from broken windows and doors and suffer minor burns from acid. By looks of it, this station is done. There's already holes growing in the ceiling. As soon as your bodies get inside, the fireman appears inside in midst of you.

"Like I thought, here's more of you!"

Beatdown will continue.

I'm considering of making next tournament into battle royale rather than 1 on 1 matches. That would resolve problem of inactivity really fast.

[NAV]

That's a great idea.

[Ozarck]

I'm considering of making next tournament into battle royale rather than 1 on 1 matches. That would resolve problem of inactivity really fast.

another solution is to make simple time limits per turn. if a party doesn't respond in a given time, his action is autoed either with no action, or focusing on simple actions like "don't die."

But a battle royale might be interesting. We did one once already. I fared poorly.

[AoshimaMichio]

Spiderking haven't been online for almost two weeks now, so he got legitimite excuse. So, Beirus, wanna wait until he returns, put him on AI and fight against me, or take victory by default?

ATHATH don't have such excuse though. I sent him a PM yesterday few hours after he went offline so I'll wait for now.


In meanwhile, lets talk about betting. Current form employed here is largely risk free and rewards aren't so great unless you already got a good mutation. So I have been playing with an idea of using cash for battle royale type match.
1. Basically anyone posting gets random amount of cash to start with.
2. Cash can be used to buy cards from different categories. Higher category cards have higher probability of being useful/powerful, but also cost more. Same goes for specific type of cards. For example you can buy a Creature-type card for very cheap and what you get can be anything The Metamorphica lists. Or pay more for Mammal-type card, or ludicrously high sums for Fantastic Animal -type card. Of course cheap random Creature card can give out a dragon as well as a tadpole, so there's certain risk/cost ratio to think about.
3. More bet categories. First kill, first death, first blood, winner.

I have to think more categories and how to handle payout ratios properly, but all suggestions and critique is welcome. Suggestions and critique are actually expected, I wouldn't post this otherwise. 

[Ozarck]

Those sound interesting. Only caution I have is in the amount of work added to the GM. Beware overloading a game in things to keep track of.

Fight! Make the area around us look like an anti-deity field. Copy-Scan Ozarck.

[Beirus]

((I was hoping that he would have done something within 24 hours after you said that, but he hasn't. No offense, but as a GM, I feel you might have more information than he would in the current situation and there may be an unconcious bias to specific choices or paths of action. I'll take the default win, although maybe if I could fight the host guy or whatever to pass the time until the other match is over, that would be fun. Like an exhibition match.))

Ozarck vs ATHATH!

Spoiler: Ozarck (click to show/hide)

You wake up. You can hear sizzling sound all around you. Your weather sense tells you that acid rain is over and regular snowstorm continues as usual.

Hibernation in extremely cold enviroment has left you stiff. Your muscles are slow and sore, so you need to warm up before heading into combat.

"And here I though I would have to spend few thousand years under snow and ice." Your armor chimes. "There's a fight going in south south east, you better get your ass over there quickly."

True enough, you hear faint angry shout from that direction. _{"Enough of your sacrilege! Kneel down and repent and I just might let you reincarnate!"}

Spoiler: ATHATH (click to show/hide)

Ethan turns around planting his fingers on floor and delivers mighty kick up towards the god's face. Red hot iron hoof misses by few centimeters giving god opportunity to strike back. His mace rises up and down into your hips and strength of the strike severs your kicking leg completely. The severed leg falls on the floor and its fire dies, leaving only skeletal leg behind.

The god continues swinging his mace at Gary who dodges it gracefully enough. Gary's counter strike goes wide.

Now Frank takes his turn at pummeling down a god but is so horribly slow that the god has no problem striking back. Hit from the mace sends Frank tumbling backwards and pulling off barbs the mace left in his chest. Incidentally his chest goes numb.

Daniel, Bart and Charlie all attack together, but the god blocks and dodges all strikes. He gets ready to strike back which leaves opening for Jack. Unfortunately Jack's kick doesn't cause any damage other than bringing his iron hoof to melting point. It's now so soft that merely putting your weight on it is enough to deform it.

Harry's punch fails to connect, but Ivan and Gary see effects of swarm tactics in first hand, both being in excellent position to do some serious damage. Gary goes first feinting a kick, which the god just bary manages to block while Ivan unleashes strongest kick he possibly can into the god's legs. The kick leaves deep impression into the god's thigh and bends it in unnatural angle.

Anti-deity aura...? I have no idea what that looks like, and neither do you. Either way, you do your best imitation of it. Then you discard your duplicated powers and scan again. You get the sacred aura and weather sense right back again, which means Ozarck is not only within your range but also alive.


"Enough of your sacrilege! Kneel down and repent and I just might let you reincarnate!"



Acid eats through roof of the ruined research station and makes if fall down on you and the god. Everyone avoids all damage it could have caused.

Beirus vs Spiderking50!

((I was hoping that he would have done something within 24 hours after you said that, but he hasn't.

Alright, we do that.


Once again VR machines beep loudly, this time the sound comes from Spiderking's seat. Simulation halts and medics run back to the stage. They study Spiderking's limp body before lifting him onto a stretcher and carrying him away.

"Dear audience! I assure you that your Virtual Reality systems are not capable of causing any brain damage to users! He probably have a some sort medical condition that was triggered with inconvient timing. I hope it is nothing serious, though."

"Since Spiderking is unable to continue, this means Beirus wins this match and only ATHATH got his bet right. We'll notify him as soon as his match ends. As you can see over the screens here, he's a bit busy at the moment. Now, I'm certain this is unsatisfying to you as well, Beirus, so I'll make you a special offer! Would you like to have a exhibition match against me while we wait for your future opponent? No prizes, no penalties, no bets and we end as soon as Ozarck and ATHATH finish their match. What you say?"

"Ah yes, I should have warned you about the hibernation. We may do it again if necessary, but, as there appears to be no cover in this arena, we will likely not have the chance. Can you change color? if you were white, it would give us an advantage. Now, let's get you something to kill." Say this to the armor, in whatever way we normally communicate. Head toward the commotion, moving at a cautious but brisk pace until I spot the happenings. Once I see what's going on, I'll decide what to do next.
