NAV raises his rifle instinctively when he hears someone call him about behind him, but drops it when he sees Immaerial; he wouldn't fight him now, not with his rad ability to chop dudes right in half. Instead of engage combat, he gives Immaterial a fist tbump and allows him to join him on the mighty USS Umpqua. NAV, begins loading up the cannons, and being a military tactical genius, adds some marijuana to the shot just to gave it that extra hella dankness. He cycles through his targets; the fighter jet is going too fast and too high to hit with a cannonball, and the balloon would be a tough target as well. Instead, he turns the cannons towards the water where Fr0stByt3 is frantically swimming for safety. (6 vs. 1) Lighting up up the cannons, the explosions of grapeshot tear through the waters where Fr0stByt3 swims. Fr0stByt3 screams as one of the shots manages to rake his back and his shoulders. It hurts like hell, but if he stops swimming now he's dead.
Hawk turns his Silver Sword around again, barrel rolling through the skies. Surely a slow-moving and vulnerable Hot Air Balloon should be destroyed by a fighter jet within seconds. (3 vs. 2) The twin miniguns fire off again from a distance, and they fail to do much more than skimming the side of the basket and destroying a good five-cents worth of basket weave.
Fr0stByt3, wounded by cannon fire, continues swimming for the safety of a ship, leaving a cloud of red in the water behind him. (1-2) Fr0st swims as hard as he can, but the harder he swims, the faster he loses blood. He reaches the side of the SS Henry Chisholm, grabbing onto a ladder from the side and beginning to climb. He gets up a few rungs before he suddenly loses consciousness as a result of bleeding and falls back into the water, sinking into the depths below.
NAV put holes in Fr0stByt3 and sunk him!
+ Article: Sunrunner: Become Sunrunner, Abilities: Captured Gaze, Call Fire, Call AirAfter NAV lets him on board, My Name is Immaterial mans the other set of cannons on the USS Umpqua, and aims them up towards Tntey's balloon. Sure the balloon was far away and the cannon's were not meant for shooting down aerial targets, but it's worth a shot. (10-2 vs.
Each of the cannonballs miss, though it is stressful for Tntey to watch a bunch of cannonballs zoom past him. One of them gets within a foot of his head as it goes sailing off into the distance.
Nanobones looks around for a sporting good store, but it looks like Dick's has not expanded in Croatia yet. The closest are some souvenir shops that sell football supplies and trinkets, but nothing about baseball. Nanobones talks to one of these shopkeepers, trying to impress him with his resume of success in the baseball business. (10) The shopkeeper doesn't care or know much about baseball at all, but Nanobones is able to sway him on the grounds of being a damn fine businessman. He is so successful that the shopkeeper actually offers to give him the store, provided that he still get a majority of the profits.
The wildfire grows rapidly, consuming more of the forest. Tntey, hovering directly above the fire, now not only has to worry about jet fighters and cannonballs, there's also a ton of smoke coming up from directly below him. The smoke clouds his vision, fills up his lungs and makes him cough. The only upside is the thick smoke makes him and his balloon harder targets, but that won't matter if he suffocates.

For the sake of fun and roleplaying, I'm going to do some ret'conning and declare that a microchip has been planted in the brain of all Contestants that allows them to universally communicate in any language. This will be true for all following games as well.
