Round 56: Black Thunder: Double Denmark Destruction Location: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Sunny (5.6 Inches of Snow)Time: Later Afternoon NAV, sporting a unique combination of clothing styles and weapons, puts his life as a flying bloodsucking fireball on hold and stays in his human form, now trudging away from the lake and back into town, his bare feet sinking into the wet slosh produced by the melting snow. His goal now was not to kill, but to somehow find the components necessary for the newest quest in the desecrated town of Denmark. This time he sticks to the Eastern part of town, away from the center/downtown/shopping region where Wiki-Warriors and their fighting had been concentrated for a long while now. If he can not locate some preserved pizzas or soda bottles, any sort of good loot would do. [Scavenging: 10+2] It's mostly residential, with the occasional store, and not a single Dominoes or Pizza Hut in sight. But after persistent searching, NAV spots something even better, a small
Mobster's Pizza, part of the national pizza chain famous for having a past CEO run for the Office of P.O.T.U.S. NAV approaches and looks through the transparent glass doors and the inside of the establishment, compared to other ruined homes and commercial buildings, appeared to be in no bad shape. The door was locked, which might have deterred some of the earlier looters, but that wouldn't stop NAV, who smashes the handle against the glass, shattering it and allowing him to reach in and unlock the door.
Stepping inside the place is eerie and messy, but the messiness was comparable to how it would look on a normal business day, with half-finished drinks and food still sitting atop the various dining tables. Then there was the pizza buffet, and while the food looked edible, it was still so stale and crusty from being left out and exposed to the elements that the Quest-Giver would definitely not accept it, as he implied pizza and wings of fresh, delivery-style quality. The scavenger moves forward, passing the arcade which was obviously dead, and hopped the counter. Once again, NAV exploits the improvised uses of the Katana and uses it to break into the cash registers and take all available money, totaling over $700 in total funds. He ventures into the kitchen where his true prize awaits, as in the freezer there are preserved food goods, pizza and hot wings alike, preserved for freshman and despite the freezer lacking power for a while now, the food remained well stored and besides requiring a reheating, they would of that same Mobster's Pizza quality. Additionally, back in storage there are cardboard storage containers for everything from large pizzas to 20-piece chicken wing meals. Finally, there are plenty of 2-liter soda bottles stored in a
Pepsi-branded fridge, though they are now luke-warm instead of cold. NAV really couldn't have asked for a better find, not only did he find a pizza-buffet/arcade, it was one that wasn't filled with creepy animatronics.
Ukrainian Ranger stares at the Push Scooter for a good minute, weighing the pros and cons, and reluctantly they decide to open it kick and get on it, propelling themselves by foot into the city on the wheeled vehicle, which actually increased their speed at the expense of looking like a ridiculous prick, (not that being a ridiculous prick had stopped people from being successful in this competition before). They scooter into the city, passing rubble and debris, even the occasional corpse or loose body part. Ranger can sense multiple portals, like the purple portal in the middle of town but that one was obviously open and active, and from the snail-person's knowledge anyone could freely go in and out of it, which meant that someone had already opened it. What the snail was interested in was these unopened portals that could lead to any universe or dimension, and their intuition led them to a hill just outside the center of town; the hill was too steep to just scooter up, so Ukrainian was forced to snap their scooter together and carry it as they trudged upwards. Along the way, they noticed two bodies which looked like they were wearing military-style camouflage, as well of the corpse of a large man, extremely muscular and dressed like an Olympian. Finally, they arrived at the top of the hill, where there was the remains of some sort of metal and wooden device that had been destroyed along with the smell of gunpowder, indicating that it had been some sort of gun. More importantly, Ukrainian could sense cosmic portal energy at work and focusing on one particular spot hovering over the precipice of the hill they spotted a faintly growing blue jagged spike, a line in the universe that looked like a rip in a piece of clothing. This dimensional tear was seeping with blue energy naked to normal sight but Ukrainian was able to reach out with their hands and pull it open, spreading it until it was the size of a window.
Inside, Ukrainian caught not a static glance but glimpses of sights from all over this world. It was a land of castles and cities, towers and villages, not unlike those of the medieval age. There were knights and archers, but clearly supernatural elements as well, as they traveled alongside magicians and humanoids, fighting great beasts of every shape and size. In one image, Ukrainian saw a group of mages in a flaming village pelting a giant dragon with their spells, in the next a heavily armored warrior squares off against a towering troll in a damp, underground location, the following image is that of a group of people going about their shopping in a busy marketplace, buying supplies and weapons, talking with the locale. Ukrainian has opened up a portal to a place of fantasy and myth, of beauty and horror, of awe and grace. In fact,
Ukrainian Ranger has opened up a portal to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Universe!Execute runs up the back of the War Elephant and closes in towards the saddle that MidnightJaguar rides upon, all while placing his pistol into its holster with one hand and drawing his shortsword out of its sheath with the other. When he is close enough, he leaps at Midnight, his sword held behind him in preparation for a swing, [1 vs. 6] and the actual slash ends up cutting through the air, the tip of the blade still half-a-foot away from Midnight at the closest point of the attack. [9 vs. 8] Before Execute can recover, Midnight retaliates and stands up on the saddle, maintaining his balance and thrusting the butt of his rifle at the Aztec warleader. Execute twists his body to lessen the impact of the blow, and when the rifle smashes against his right shoulder it does little more than bruise it, but what has greater impact than the actual injury was the effect of it causing Execute to lose his grip on his shortsword which slides down the side of the elephant and lands down on the street while the large beast continues rampaging through the nearby area.
Execute, running towards the action, gets close enough to where he can get down on one knee, aim, and fire shots off at Midnight. [4 vs. 3] After a burst of shots, Midnight feels a burning sensation cut through him towards the middle section of his back, but is minor enough that while he is occupied with other life-threatening things he hardly notices it.
Dolosus rides away from Denmark and down the road towards one of the nearby cities that he hopes has a functioning gun store. Going towards the Southeast, he gets far enough away where the buildings are less frequent and only the occasional farm, resteraunt or general store can be encountered. While it doesn't look like he'll be in any luck, it turns out that a local
Bob's Gun Stock is right in his path; finding a store specialized in firearms on the side of a country road is truly an American event. Dolosus gets off his horse in the parking lot and ties it to a fence before heading inside. The interior is what you would expect of a gunstore, with guns lining the walls and filling glass counters, everything from handguns and hunting rifles to fully-automatic weapons. Behind one of these glass counters is a 30-something man wearing a camouflage jacket, a baseball cap and a wide grin. "Howdy! What sort of business can I help you with today?" Dolosus lays Person's pistol on the counter and says he wants to sell it, as it must be high in value being an authentic officer's pistol from WWI. [Bartering: 6] The store owner takes the gun in his hands and looks at it closely, turning it over and squinting at the tiniest details. "Yep, that's a real one alright, but it's not the first one I've seen. I a bunch of WWI guns, even a few back from the Civil War and Indian War days. Since it belonged to an officer, I will raise the price a bit, what do you say to $230?"
MidnightJaguar goads his Elephant into continuing its rampage of death and destruction on Beirus and Twinwolf specifically, although this is hampered somewhat; With Execute disarmed of his shortsword but still close enough to Midnight to attack him, Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal is alternating between trying to stab the elephant king with his trench knife and kicking him in the head. Needless to say, Midnight's efforts in controlling his Elephant are muddled when he is weaving around stabs and ducking under kicks. [9+-2(Distracted Rider) vs. 2-2] The Elephant charges towards Beirus who is still lying against the fence from the last attack. As the Elephant draws near, letting out a fierce cry from its trunk, Beirus attempts to stand up but the pain is greater than her will and she simply slumps against the fence. The Elephant presses one of its front hooves against Beirus and crushes her against the iron-wrought fence, producing a similar result to when a slab of meat goes through a grinder.
After Beirus has been trampled, Midnight orients the elephant in the direction of Twinwolf, all the while he has to bat away Execute's knife arm. Twinwolf slowly gets to his feet by gripping onto the side a car, and looking over his shoulder, spots the Elephant running at him again, setting the injured nationalist leader into a screaming sprint, which is actually closer to a screaming hobble. [5+-2(Distracted Rider) vs. 7] In a last ditch desperation tactic, Twinwolf dives for the ground and curls up in a cowering ball as the Elephant runs over his position, and miraculously while he is about an inch away from being stomped into human-goo a couple times, the beast misses him entirely! The elephant lets out a frustrated cry as it plows through a small smart-car, tossing it aside with its tusks.
Midnight decides that he has had enough harassment from his uninvited co-rider and grabs his trusty curling stone that he keeps tied to the front of his saddle wherever he goes. [4-1(Heavy) vs. 9] Execute attempts another kick to Midnight when the rider suddenly turns to properly face him and interrupts the Aztec deity with a mighty overhead swing! Execute jumps to the side but Midnight knows this dodge will actually send Execute tumbling off the Elephant and onto the ground! Except instead of falling, Execute just hovers in place right next to Midnight who recalls that he is fighting someone with wings. [4 vs. 7] Execute zooms straight at Midnight knife-first and the rider sits back down in his saddle and lowers his head, allowing his flying foe to harmlessly pass above him.
MidnightJaguar has brutally tenderized Beirus!
He gains 1 Point!

Fallacy, as she is meditating, takes her rifle and in a trance-like state loads a fresh clip into it. All the while, she moans some strange guttural sounds,
"Huh. HUUH." The Aztecs around her look at each other uneasily, but recall that Execute's orders were to kill her if she did something stupid, not if she was just being weird, as so they just continue walking around her and aimlessly patrolling the inside of the grocery store, occasionally removing their shoes to shake free any odd pieces of rice that had got stuck inside them. After a few minutes of rest, Fallacy's eyes shoot open as she is fully recovered from the Soucouyant's draining on her and now she is ready for action once more.
High tyrol, while she still has some time to spare in
Sheds & Aristocrats, checks out a free newsletter at the front of the store that discusses the local events going on in the Green Bay area. [9] As it turns out, there is a Poetry Slam being held tomorrow morning during an art festival Green Bay at the
Green Tomato Art Warehouse. Reading the details of the event, tyrol can deduce that the crowd there will number in the hundreds, possibly over a thousand, which will completely blow the crowd at this Open Mic out of the water. The actual Poetry Slam is free but there is a $20 fee to get into the festival itself. The newsletter does say that the top four winners at this Poetry Slam will receive cash prizes and gift cards.
Elephant Parade finds Greenleaf to be too small to be likely as a source for musical talent and continues riding Westward. He comes to the suburban township of
Wrightstown, and with a listed population of over 3,000 it is a relative metropolis to all of these other cities, with the obvious exclusion of Green Bay. Quickly after Elephant rides into Wrightstown, he sees a bank, a Subway, a supermarket and a law firm all in close proximity to each other, so there must be multiple people here with the talent he is looking for. [Musical Talent Scouting: 10] When asking around for any local talent, Elephant is directed to the home of Jessie Farrel, the resident country-pop singer-song writer who hasn't achieved national airplay but has found success on Wisconsin radio stations and the people of Wrightstown keep insisting that she will get her big break one day. Elephant follows the directions to her house and finds a simple two-story overlooking a field. As he approaches, he spots a girl who must be Jessie sitting on her porch facing the open field with her back turned to him, her long auburn hair flowing. The closer he gets, the more clearly he can hear her singing to herself, a voice so sweet and tender Elephant finds himself suddenly perspiring with a lump in his neck...
Twinwolf, still shaking, picks his head up and looks around. He spots the gory remains of Beirus in the fence and has to stop himself from losing his lunch on the spot. Down the street, he sees the elephant thrasing away while two men on top of it fight with one another, one of whom appears to be flying! Twin was aware that was only time before the elephant ran at him again, or even if that hostile angel won this fight, who knows if he would be friendly towards Twin? Running was not an option, both of Twin's legs were too badly wounded. Looking for a way out, he runs his hands over himself looking for some dues ex machina and in his left jacket pocket he finds what might be it, the inconspicuous but all powerful Black Thunder Wrapping Bar. Twinwolf tears away the plastic covering the bar, and with it exposed he viciously tears into it as if he had not eaten for three days. With every massive bite Twinwolf takes, the clouds ahead suddenly condense and become darker until the surrounding area is almost pitch-black under a blanket of darkness. Both As soon as Twinwolf swallows the last bite, a flurry of lightning bolts strike like guided missiles from the heavens. There is an obscene amount of lightning as bolts fly everywhere, an impossible amount for a normal storm.
[9 vs. 10] [1 vs. 1] [6 vs. 3] The Elephant roars in a panic and Execute abandons his objective to fly to cover as fast as he can. As he soars through the dark sky, evading lightning as two jagged bolts get so close to him he feels their heat right on his body. Before he can get somewhere safe, a lightning bolt cuts through him at chest level and shocks him, sending him into a tumble onto the ground below. He is not lethally wounded, but there is a horizontal line across his chest that has been seared.
[4 vs. 8] [1 vs. 5] [8 vs. 5] [9 vs. 4] Midnight pleads with shouts over the deafening storm as he tries to get his Elephant to calm down as its fearful panic is nearly throwing him off of his saddle, leaving him holding on for his dear life. As the lightning flies around him in every direction, two bolts strike him directly in quick succession and he immediately slumps over in his saddle unconscious as his body sizzles. Unconscious, it is up to his Elephant to keep him in position, [Elephant Morale: 3-1(Panicking)] but in its terrified state Midnight is tossed from its back and flung into the brick wall of a nearby building at a high speed, his impact making a crunch that would be audible if it weren't for the lightning. Even if Midnight had somehow survived two lightning strikes, there was no way he would live after slamming into a brick wall as if he had crashed a car going 40 mph into said wall, without a seatbelt.
[1 vs. 8] The Aztecs within the grocery huddle down and lay low as the storm takes place, although no lightning lands near their position leaving them and Fallacy a little unnerved but unharmed. During this time, some of the Aztecs discuss with each other, debating whether or not this storm had served as a harbinger indicating that a Thunder God from their home was set to enter the portal soon.
[8 vs. 6] NAV, while admiring the goldmine of delivery food he had stumbled upon, finds himself caught in the middle of a spontaneous lightning storm, louder and more ferocious than any other he had previously been in. Unknowingly, while taking cover he places his hand on a metal pole that extends up into the roof. When lightning strikes it, he is briefly electrocuted, though afterwards he is mostly fine except for his left hand which was gripping the pole that has been burned to a painful crisp.
Ukrainian is just outside the range of the lightning storm, but is close enough for all of their body hairs to stand up on end, if snails had body hair.
The gun shop Dolosus is in shakes during the storm, and the store owner steadies himself by leaning on the counter. "Shit! How is there a storm brewin'? The sky was just clear a second ago!"
The power in Sheds & Aristocrats goes dead for a couple minutes.
During the whole storm, Twinwolf himself had hid under a car, regretting his actions almost immediately as the first bolts struck the earth. However, when the final arc of lightning had laid its indiscriminate razing of the land, the clouds dissipate just as quickly as they had appeared. At this point, Twinwolf slides out from under the car and stands up, slowly once again, surveying the damage.
[Collateral Damage Magnitude: 5] Several more buildings had been destroyed or were now aflame, none of them quite close enough to worry Twin. The damage to these buildings was much more intense than the previous episode of destruction on the little town of Denmark, but this time it was confined to a smaller area, the Eastern section rather than the location as a whole. Unsure of how to feel about this whole situation, Twin just stares at what he has created, or more accurately un-created, as the empty chocolate wrapper floats away from his hand in the breeze. He's beginning to feel a little weak from the constant blood loss...
Twinwolf has fried Midnight Jaguar!

These Wormholes will remain open and able to be transversed by anyone as long as Ukrainian keeps them open, and is alive.
Snail-Person - Ukrainian Ranger is a humanoid snail creature. They have a human figure, meaning they are bipedal, stand upright, have limbs and hands are overall shaped like a person. Their snail features include slimy skin, two beady eyes sticking out of their head, a toothless mouth and a constantly wavy, bubbling, high-pitched androgynous voice. Most prominently is the large shell upon their backs that due to its weight makes them slower than your average Wiki-Warrior, however, they can retract their entire flexible body into the hardened shell for protection.

That was one hell of a turn. Some things to clarify:
I have to confess, even those this game is clearly based on Wikipedia, I cheated for Ukrainian's dimensional hopping ability and found a random universe via an algorithm I put into TV Tropes. Why? It could find other fictional universes on Wikipedia, the only issue with that being that you often have to go through 20-50 random articles before you reach a fictional universe, and that fictional universe is likely going to be highly identical to the one the Wiki-Warriors are already in. When I use the algorithm in TV Tropes, which is still highly random, I get a suitable result about 75-90% of the time immediately. I plan to also do this for similar abilities and events in the future. If anyone has comments or concerns about this method please raise them.
Also, I'm not going to be familiar with every fictional piece of media that I use, so I will get things wrong. If I happen to get them very wrong, (ex., if I spawn a Pathfinder creature through the portal that doesn't even exist or is similar to anything in the Pathfinder game series), please tell me and I will do my best to rectify the situation.
Because Ukrainian's character is hermaphroditic I will refer said character using the "they" set of pronouns.
Twinwolf's Black Thunder was a completely randomized event with everyone in the nearby area getting rolls not only how hard they would get hit, but how many times when they get hit at all. The ones most at risk were Twin, Execute and Midnight, and Midnight obviously got unlucky while Twinwolf just so happened to never be targeted; Yuri was also a possible target but avoid being struck. NAV and Fallacy were close enough to be possible targets and were each targeted one time by the storm based on dice rolls.
