Well I was planning on grabbing a few people I know and sitting them down, but hell, if a real time session could be arranged online somehow I honestly don't see a problem with that. Skype would have been my first choice though, shame. IRC maybe? Who knows? Anyway it wouldn't so much be a test as an adaption. The testing is basically all finished at this point due to all the forum threads, barring a few "quality of life" additions like the microchip language thing, and some other stuff I don't really remember at the moment. But enough about that for now, lets get back on topic. PM me if you want to keep going.

Round 3: Alchemy Violates the Geneva Convention
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin [Boundary Dissipated]

Powder Miner stays on the edge of town, not yet entering its borders as holy fire continues to rain down upon the town, his Jaffa Servant stands in front of him scanning the perimeter for danger, Laser Rifle in hand. Powder himself continues the search for some sort of whacking utensil. (4) And finally, after several ardous minutes of being hunkered down towards the ground, the Goa'uld comes across a small stick, not as big as he would hope, but it's about a foot long and most likely wouldn't break when being smashed across someone's face. At the same time, it doesn't carry the authority that walking around with a big stick would.

Lermfish takes a detour from the town to walk into a small patch of forest nearby. His goal is to find the most vicious, fearsome predators of the forest, and become their BFF's. (8) Among the trees and brush he finds a wolf gnawing on the carcass of a rabbit. Lerm moves down to pet the beast which stops tearing away at the vermin to eye him skeptically. Lerm pets the wolf on the head, and instantly it becomes docile, wagging its tail and letting its tongue hang out, dripping blood onto Lerm's shoes. (+Ally: Wolf Companion)

With the Alchemist's Circle complete, Ukranian Ranger places his hand in the center of the inscriptions and holds his breath. (2) A toxic cloud of yellow-brown begins to form around him, but by holding his breath he is able to avoid inhaling any. As it swirls around him, Ranger feels a burning sensation to the gas, and can sense the faintest scent of mustard. Uh oh. (6) Forget trying to analyze where the cloud will go with atmospheric analysis, U.R. just runs the hell out of there as his flesh burns. He gets away from the cloud, his whole body feeling as if it were melting off. Blisters and burns form across his exposed arm, (his metallic arm is unharmed) face, and neck; the pain is so great that he must work to stay conscious. On the bright side, his eyes and internal organs have not been damaged, which would please Ranger if he wasn't screaming from the depths of his lungs and trying not to pass out.

Peradon switches his fighting style up by exchanging his fists for a steel Broadsword. He swings the sword in a downward arc, as Pikorge readies for a chance to counter-attack, drawing his own blade. (1 vs. 10-1+2) Even dazed, Pikorge is able to retain the reactions that he had developed over years of training in melee combat, particularly against swords, pikes and muskets. Peradon meanwhile, is untrained with the unwieldly Broadsword and awkwardly lifts it. Instead of blocking or parrying, Pikorge immediately goes for a stab as Peradon hoists his sword up, exposing his stomach in the process. (3+2+4 vs. 6) The thrust is not a particularly powerful one, but between all the circumstances from Peradon's exposed position and Pikorge's excellent technique, the blade manages to pierce through Peradon's Plate Armor and sink a few inches into his belly. Peradon drops his blade in shock as he feels the metal tearing through his flesh.

Megggas explores the sewer, looking around for useful that might have been discarded. Megggas does not mind poking around in the trash; what others would call scavenging he calls 'resourcefulness'. (6+2) In a pile of wooden refuse, Megggas comes across a Broken Table Leg. It could suffice as either as a bludgeoning weapon or an improvised tool, possibly to construct traps with. Taking the leg, Megggas heads back to the manhole he used to enter the sewers. He pushes it to the side, peeking his head out onto the streets of Denmark to see if it is still raining explosives. Sure enough, a few fireballs are still coming down upon the burning town, but it looks like it has calmed down and should be over soon. He spies a herd of firetrucks bustling down the road towards some burning structures.

Pikorge could be worse off in the duel with Peradon, having disarmed the latter and currently having his Officer's Sword pushed into his abdomen. (9+2+2-1 vs. 5) With a mighty lunge, Pikorge pushes the blade in further, completely running Peradon through until the tip of the sword cuts through his spinal column. Peradon goes limp instantly, and Pikorge gives him one piece of advice as he shoves Peradon off from his blade, "Should have stuck with your spin-kicks." The light fades from Peradon's eyes as Pikorge shakes his head slightly, no longer Dazed.
Pikorge shish'kabobed Peradon!

"Come Yuri! We must escape the fire from above!" Execute runs through the Denmark streets with Yuri, dodging the occasional fireball. They were having much worse luck with God's Wrath than any of the other contestants, perhaps they were loitering around a den of sexual sin? Or maybe they themselves were Sodomites? In any case, the Rus'ians run for the door of a small hunting store, only for the building to get bombarded by a fireball before they get close. Execute puts his palms to his head and expresses his frustration verbally.

Person wanders the streets in his Austin-Healey 100, blasting old school Hip Hop from the radio. Traffic is keeping him from moving very fast, today's traffic featuring civilians on foot and cars hurriedly escaping from the city while ambulances and firetrucks pour in. He turns a corner to spot Tomasque on the streets, muttering to himself about how, "All the other candidates get to speak. Why don't I get to speak? Lousy debates..." Now, a typical combatant might stop the car, trail his target for a little bit and then attack him when he least expects it. Person sees typical combatants as 'weak scrubs' while he is a Mutthafuckin' G, of course. He displays how he could this title by putting his sports car on cruise control, grabbing his PPSh, rolling down his convertible top and standing up on his seat, the upper-half of his body now above the car. (6+2 vs. 5+2) Person sprays his sub-machine gun at Tomasque, hitting him in the right thumb. The shock of getting shot freezes Tomasque for a second, but his military reflexes allow him to dive through the ground, causing the remaining drive-by shots to miss, instead hitting a few brick walls, breaking a few windows and embedding into a few streetlamps. (4) The car, without a driver, veers off the road and into a curb, coming to a sudden halt which slams Person into the side of the roof, bruising the right side of his ribs.

Tomasque gets up from the sidewalk and checks the damages. In the drive-by, his thumb got pretty torn up, which will inhibit his overall  dexterity and two-handed effectiveness, but he doesn't mind it too much otherwise. "Well, alrighty then. I went through way worse back in 'Nam, heh." He drinks one can of Shloer soda, walking up to the stop where Person is recovering from his fender-bender. Tomasque tosses his empty soda can at the Austin-Healey and draws his WWII Officer's Pistol with his Left Hand. "I'll keep punks off like you off the street when I'm president!" (1+1 vs. 4+1) Person ducks back down into his car as Tomasque empties his clip out into the vehicle, breaking the rear window but failing to hit Person. "Come out here and fight me like a man!" Person honors Tomasque's request and fires a single shot from the cover of the driver's seat out the back. (7+2 vs. 9+2) Tomasque ducks as the shot misses his head by about a foot, "Woah there!"

The Cloud of Mustard Gas begins moving with the wind, which at this moment happens to be in the same direction as Ukranian Ranger. "No! Get back!" Ranger runs yelling at the Cloud as if it were sentient. (4-2) He runs his hardest, but with trying to sprint and fight off the pain proves to be to much as the Cloud moves in to consume its creator. Ukranian Ranger does get a final silver lining, at least the he goes into a shock-induced coma before he is consumed.
The Cloud of Mustard Gas has devoured Ukranian Ranger!

Fr0stByt3 swims into Denmark from a nearby lake, her dog paddling behind her. The two of them get onto dry land and she changes out of her swimsuit into dry casual clothing as her dog shakes itself off. "Look at this idyllic town being overrun by filthy capitalists, Dog. Come, let us win this tournament for the undying glory of the Soviet Union!"

GameBoyBlue is ready for a fight; a pistol holstered on her hip, a rapier sheathed on the other side, and a musket slung across her back. In addition, a loyal Medabot stands by her side. "What is your operative master?" GameBoyBlue squints her eyes, scouting the ongoing fighting from a distance. "Medabot, new command: Victory."

Breaking News: The spontaneous meteor shower in Denmark, Wisconsin has ended, with a total of 5 deaths, 12 injuries and over $80,000 in property damage. Emergency response teams have arrived to tend to the wounded and to put out fires. While the shower has stopped, officials are keeping the city evacuated as there are reports of a cloud of toxic gas that is moving in from the North. Officials speculate this was the result of a chemical leak, possibly caused by the meteor shower.

If anyone was wondering, each player had a small chance to face an 'encounter' with the Holy Fire and have to Roll to avoid it. The Hunting Shop featured in Execute's Turn had a slightly higher (since buildings are larger and immobile) but still low possibility of getting struck.

"Tsk, perhaps we should retreat from this area for greener pastures, temporarily, of course."
Paintstore? Art gallery? Either of these would work.
Also, send out Yuri to hide and keep track of me or whoever may be following me, if he spots someone he deems to be a threat, he is to sneak up on them and assassinate them, use my military strategy to find a good spot for Yuri to hide in and shadow me.

(Well, that could have gone much worse. What sort of shape is my car in?)

"Argh, that probably won't buff right out."

Get out of the car and take cover behind it. Take a few shots at Tomasque with my PPSh whenever I can.

Good fight peradon. ( Bows with respect.)
Take Peradon his belongings and place them in my car, keep the swords close by but make sure they can't stab me.
Drive away from the north.
If I spot an enemy, attack by ramming them with my car.

(The broken table leg is one my assets, right?)

Exit the sewers and explore the south side of town in search of a store that has been abandoned.  Go inside and grab any useful weapons, armor, trap components, and medical supplies that I can find.  If I can't get inside, then break one of the windows using my broken table leg.  If this fails, then look around for an abandoned car I can steal.

Due to Real Life reasons, I have to disappear for awhile.  Take me out of all games that I'm participating in.  Sorry.

The Goa'uld swung the baton-stick a few times before shrugging. "Hey, this'll do. I just want to stave some face in. Come on, Jaffa, let's go wreck some natives!"
Go into the town, bludgeon the first person I see with the stick. If they have some sort of minion or are about to kill me dead, have the Jaffa go to work with the War Staff.
