"It depends on the warrior, I suppose. Honestly, I think that the Wiki-Wars, run as they are, are inherently bad; this one forced a nearby town to evacuate. If there were restrictions in place to prevent collateral damage, it wouldn't be such an issue, but that's not the case."

"Risking the lives of the innocent for your own gain is not a moral act. Would you take me to one of these Wiki-Warriors, or at least point me in their general direction? Maybe I could even find the one that brought me to this world for some reason."

Keep attacking. Go for the easiest target, probably the wounded guy.

Stab away at the approaching ball of fire! With the non-broken arm, of course.

Take off my pants and tie a knot in each leg before following Dolosus to the ambulance. Whenever the fireball approaches, try to catch it in the pants and hold them shut.

Try to catch the fireball to keep it away from Dolosus! It phased through the plane, so just use my body to get it.

Are you staying in your plane or riding in the ambulance?
Also, the Soucouyant didn't phase through, it can just change its form to slip into holes and gaps just a few inches big, which there are many of in a plane.

((I'll go in the ambulance, since I can't use the plane much in the city. And some very useful information on the socuyant, that. I'll edit my revised action.))

Round 61: Going Home
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin
Weather Conditions: Sundown
Time: Dusk

The Ensorceler parks his plane and helps get his companion, the wounded Dolosus, outside and onto the stretcher where two emergency responders are there to meet them. Dolosus is carried into the back of the ambulance and while medical treatment is administered to him, he reviews his camera. Despite all the trauma the camera has endured, it still contains footage of everything from Dolosus's arrival, to his fighting of the Aztecs, to his allyship and killing of Person, his accident and now his convergence with The Ensorceler. [Medical: 4+2] Dolosus's armor is removed and while there are not enough medical materials in the ambulance to treat Dolosus, he is given some pills to alleviate his pain.
The Ensorceler hops into the back of the ambulance to travel with the Samurai as the drive speeds off to the nearest hospital. With a stroke of either bizarre ingenuity or just plain weirdness, The Ensorceler formulate a plan that involves him removing his pants. The emergency responders insist that he should not do this, but the Ensorceler retorts that it is necessary to ensure everyone's safety, especially Dolosus. Just as he says this, he spots the Soucouyant flying downward from the sky at the ambulance like a bird of prey.
Pizza will reach Richard Brook's house in 2 Turns.

Execute frowns when Captain Sarver questions his wings, "Honestly? These are real wings.
Yes, I know how insane it sounds, but look! I can move them as if they're another arm." He flaps them for effect and then launches himself up into the air, hovering a few feet off the ground. It's very odd, to say the least, b-but that doesn't matter right now, I'd like to help, I understand you're doing well, but a few more pairs of hands can't hurt, right? Just tell me where I can go, and I can take out whatever you need taken out, these wings aren't for show, I'll help you, and I'll be gone, if you don't trust me, well, I can show you where I came from." At Execute's display of superhuman ability the captain certainly turns pale as if he had just discovered a mass burial plot, a few of his soldiers whistle at Execute's maneuvers. Sarver leans on the railings on the side of the ship to support himself, "This damned jungle is making me lose my mind..." He raises a shaky finger, pointing in the direction that his ship had come from. "J-just a couple of miles up the river, y-you'll spot an American encampment on top of a hill. G-go there. Good Christ..." The captain collapses and several of his men rush to his aid.

"Looks like Execute's well enough to go on another adventure- last I saw he was occupied with an enemy aircraft." "Hm, aircraft?" The Shaman asks, prompting Fallacy to explain what aircraft are, flying vehicles powered by powerful, almost magical combustion. "Ah, we do not have something like that, unless it was enchanted first?"
Gearing up to go into the next portal, Fallacy asks her companion, "Would you care to accompany me as I adventure with him?" "I would, with you as my guide of course! And it looks like the portal back to the last world as closed for now. I do hope I can reach home sometime in the future..." The two of them enter the portal and find themselves deep in a tropical jungle in front of a river. About two hundred yards away, Execute, Yuri and some Aztecs are speaking with the crew of a military boat, armed with soldiers, cannons and machine guns though they appear not to be hostile.

NAV descends upon the ambulance and enters its rear through the tail pipe and comes out of a valve. The emergency responders break their focus on Dolosus now that a fireball is floating inside their area, one of them cries out "What the hell is that?" [1 vs. 3] The Soucouyant rushes at Dolosus but the Samurai rolls out of the way and NAV crashes into an IV stand, knocking it to the ground. [7+1(Agility) vs. 6] The Ensorceler speedily leaps upon NAV and places his pants over the fireball, tying the legs together and rolling up the waistline to trap NAV inside, while it tries to get free like an animal caught in a net. The ambulance now pulls up to Manitowoc General and whisked inside for treatment. The Ensorceler, pantless and carrying a fireball and a sub-machine gun, is not allowed in.

"I can all but guarantee that some will be hanging around Denmark; that's where we first appear. I can bring you there, if you want." Thousand Bones accepts Elephant's offer, "If that is where I can find my answers, take me to this Den of Mark." Despite his lack of apparent vision and age, Thousand Bones is able to easily able to get up onto the saddle of Elephant's horse and ride behind him. [Horse Speed: 8] Without stopping for sight-seeing and scouting like he had originally done, it does not Elephant long to reach the outskirts of Denmark. Along the way, Elephant inquires if Thousand Bones has any musical experience, "When I was younger I was skilled with the bone flute, but it has been many years since I have played." As they approach Denmark from the South, the two of them spot a blue portal upon a hill, Thousand Bones remarks, "That is the portal I came from, and I believe it would go back to my homeland."
As they ride closer into the town, the ground begins to shake as if something heavy is moving about and Elephant's horse begins to panic. Then he spots an Ogre, an eight-foot tall horned humanoid round the corner and come face to face with them. The Ogre growls, a pile of spit forming beneath it. "An Ogre," the ancient cleric states. "They are a vicious kind of creature, we must either fight or flee."

Twinwolf responds to the offer to join Execute in a portal to another world, "I'd be happy to join... once I'm sure I'm not going to bleed to death." After a few more minutes of doing his best not to die, the Aztec medics return with fresh supply from their world. [Medical: 8+2] Through the power of ancient medicine and esoteric knowledge in special herbs, Twinwolf's leg is fixed and patched up, though one of the doctors insists that Twinwolf should avoid putting too much stress on his left leg in the future.
Once the procedure is complete, Twinwolf steps through the green portal and finds himself with Fallacy and her Shaman follower, while Execute, Yuri and some Aztecs confer with the crew of a military ship on a river a couple hundred yards away.

High Tyrol, after claiming her prizes, settles into a quiet room at the art festival and writes a new poem, this time about a Pueblo Indian whose home and family are ravaged by Conquistadors and killed by them. In the afterlife the native becomes a ghost who haunts the leading Conquistador for the rest of his life. [Poetry: 2+2] High Tyrol feels like this is one of her weaker works, it starts out strong with the destruction of the Pubelo village but the middle drags on and the end of the story is obvious halfway through.

Wipeout decides that now is the perfect opportunity to get on her Cargo Ship and sail to Minnesota in search of the purifying waters that Prince had spoken of. The only issue with this plan is that the Cargo Ship is located all the way in the Bay of Green Bay and would take a long time to travel by foot, and she lacks money for a cab. She could always try something like hitchhiking or hijacking a car, maybe even trying to recruit someone, or any other plan she could come up with.

Ukrainian Ranger and Hayder are walking down a Denmark street when Ukrainian suddenly stops. "What's a matter wit' you?" Hayder asks, and the snail person turns to him. "I am sorry," Ukrainian says, "But I must terminate our contract prematurely. My planet needs me." Ukrainian then begins to vibrate and float into the air while an exasperated Hayder yells at them, "Wait, you can't just leave me here!" Ukrainian just waves and then retreats into their shell which becomes to spin at rapid speeds. There is an explosion-like sound as the shell launches into the air and deep into space...
Ukrainian Ranger has gone back to their home planet. The portals they had opened now close, but the spawns from those portals remain.
As Elephant and Thousand Bones form a plan to deal with the Ogre, they see the portal to the home of the cleric suddenly close up and vanish. "That is concerning," Thousand Bones says without an actual hint of concern.

Active Portals and Current Spawns:
Mansion (Closed) - The gateway dimension between Denmark and other universes.
   Central America/Age of Exploration - Aztecs.
   Philippines/Spanish-American War - Being explored by Execute w/ Yuri & 12 Jaguar Soldiers.

Piratejoe, looking for more lands to conquer and more gold to add to his resources, enters the city of Denmark from the South. Further up the road he sees two men on horseback staring down an Ogre.
