Round 63: Pizza AbsolvementLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: SundownTime: Dusk, Light Rain The Ensorceler looks at the struggling Soucouyant within his pants and begins to sob. Why did he confine this creature? This ball of light who knew no better than to pursue him mindlessly was subject to his catcher. Was The Ensorceler no better than the cruel hunter who traps animals of the wild not for food or even trophies but merely for his own sadistic pleasure? As tears fall on his pants, The Ensorceler undoes the knots and frees his captive, the fireball hovering in the air and spinning around, confused at its sudden newfound freedom. The Ensorceler walks towards the house, and approaches the pizza deliveryman with a tear-stained face, a wad of money in one hand and his pants in the other. He thrusts the money at the deliverer, "I pay for this man's food and drink, all of it. Let us end this cycle of barbarism and enter a new age of brotherhood." (-$60) The deliveryman tentatively takes the money and hurries to the front door of the Brooks' household. The Ensorceler watches as Richard Brooks receives the pizza free of charge, not even noticing the man who had paid for it. Once Richard closes the door The Ensorceler falls to his knees and cries more. The fireball was free, Dolosus was being treated and the pizza had arrived. For the moment, his perilous journey was over.
A light rain begins to fall on Denmark.

DolosusDoleus and The Ensorceler both receive 1 Point!
Dolosus +Article: O.J. Mayo: +2 Basketball, +1 Athleticism, +Basketball Shoes, +Basketball, +Large Ziploc Bag containing 1 Kilo of Cocaine, +Lifetime Ban from the NBA
The Ensorceler +Article: Worcestershire: +2 Saucing, +Never-Ending Bottle of Worcestershire SauceDolosus looks at the lawyer's notification and sighs deeply before getting up and exiting the hospital. He walks off the grounds and looks North, towards the direction of Green Bay, and walks along the road. A travel sign is posted up that stating the distance from Manitowoc to other Wisconsin cities, and it states that Green Bay is 45 miles away, quite a journey, especially now without his horse.
NAV struggles within the confines of The Ensorceler's pants until he is free, suddenly. Instead of fighting, The Ensorceler out of the mercy in his heart, decided to let the Soucouyant free of the fabric. (The rain falling overhead does not effect NAV, as the Soucouyant is not literally a 'fireball', but was originally called one due to its appearance.) NAV locates The Ensorceler, and wanting to repay the kind favor, flies straight at him trying to get into his mouth and drain him of all that nice blood. [8 vs. 2] With The Ensorceler stuck deep in the throes of emotion, it's easy for NAV to fly straight into his open mouth and into his throat. The Ensorceler's poignant experience is interrupted as now he has a sentient creature lodged within his neck, making it rather hard to breath.
Elephant Parade reassures Thousand Bones as he stands up,
"Well, I was shot—but only in the shoulder, so I should be fine for now, though I expect I'll need medical attention later. I'm more worried about whoever just shot me." The two of them run for cover behind a destroyed building as piratejoe continues to fire upon the two of them. [9 vs. 7] While they run, one of Piratejoe's shots blasts off the upper part of Elephant's left ear, not doing any serious damage but hurting a tiny bit nonetheless. The musician and the cleric hunker down behind the side of what once was a thriving antique store. As Elephant hurriedly reloads, Thousand Bones declares, "I will distract him, perhaps we can then make our escape." He gestures to what looks like a glowing crack in the world nearby. "That portal is closed, but if we can get close I can try to reopen it." After this, he stands aside and raises his open palms over the ground, and they tremble as he speaks, "Arise creature of Iron, defend your master!" Pieces of spare Iron from the surrounding area begin to fly together in front of the Cleric, twisting and bending and melding together as they form the a humanoid shape that stands twice as tall and wide as any man Elephant had seen.
Execute looks down upon his forgotten wounds, "When did...When did that happen?" He takes flight once more and heads back down the river to rejoin his allies. His proposed strategy is to wait until night falls and then send in his Jaguar Warriors to attack with stealth and precision. He also asks the Shaman about her magical arsenal. "Well, if we're fighting a bunch of people, I could set up some good traps or maybe ask the animals in the jungle for assistance. Why are we fighting these people anyways?" During this conversation, Execute slaps himself in the head because he has an incredibly versatile and powerful ability that he is not capitalizing upon. He sends one Jaguar Warrior to go back through the portal to find another Aztec that will come through with paints and painting materials. [4] The Jaguar leaves and returns with a regular Aztec holding a bunch of berries and pastes and a piece of refined wood, wondering what he's going to be doing.
He also asks for medical attention to these mysterious wounds. [Medicine: 5+2] His ankle is patched up and hearty plant sinews are wrapped around his arm, though the painful burn on his chest remains.
Fallacy, seeking additional (and likely better) painting materials, goes down to the American encampment. As she approaches, she alerts the patrols who run over and put their guns on her, but quickly disengage when they see she is a regular, English-speaking woman. She asks them for paint supplies, [Diplomacy: 10] and taking pity on this lone white woman wandering in the depths of the Philippine Jungle, give her an entire roll of large Paper and all the spare paint they have, several tubes covering the basic colors. When they ask her if she wants food, water or accompaniment, Fallacy turns it all down and waves them off, disappearing back down the river. [Perception: 1] Fallacy walks back and fails to notice anything fishy happening behind or around her in the deep cover of the jungle. Fallacy returns to Execute with the painting materials, and while he would be happy to see her again, something feels off. He pushes her aside, and looking in the distance, he spots a small band of Americans watching them from a hidden vantage point in the jungle. Clearly, Fallacy had aroused suspicion and had been tailed back to their location. The Americans run when they are spotted, most likely to report their findings to the encampment; it looks as though a sneak attack may not work after all.
Piratejoe fires at Elephant Parade's position, [10 vs. 6] firing twice. One of the bullets ricochets off the corner of the building and hits Elephant in the right side of his upper torso. It fails to strike any of the major organs, like the lungs or heart, but it does manage to go through an artery as it passes through him, causing him to bleed pretty badly from the wound, not immediately fatal but enough to be a large concern. Piratjoe prepares to fire again, raising his rifle to his eye and looking for the finishing shot, when suddenly an Iron Golem, out of nowhere, comes around the corner and stands like a barrier between his line-of-sight and Elephant Parade.
From the West, a racecar pulls into Denmark. Out of it steps, well, you'd think a NASCAR driver right? Well, it's actually a woman dressed in a 19th Century Aristocratic German Outfit designed for men, wielding a baseball glove and ball in one hand, a stick in the other, and a helmet adorning her head.
Cinder has arrived to industrialize the game!The clouds part in one area above Denmark and down floats a woman in flowing robes and a football helmet. "I have come to liberate my sisters and the oppressed!" She floats down and lands besides Cinder.
Hawk132 has come to destroy the patriarchy with the power of Christ!

The Bloodsucking Fireball - While in human form, NAV can shed all of his skin into a pile and turn into a sentient Fireball that can fly and fit through holes as small as a keyhole. The Fireball can not ignite people with fire, but it can attach to them and drain them of their blood like a vampire. If a person is killed in this way, they will become an NPC Soucouyant. If the Soucouyant encounters any rice, it is forced to gather the rice one grain at a time unless it is caught by a person in this act, in which case it must return back to where its skin lies before it can set out again. The Soucoyant can be hurt in its fireball form, but not killed, by water. If someone destroys the Soucoyant's human skin, it will die.

Goodnight Sweet Prince
The skies over Minnesota remain purple, it seems that Prince isn't willing to go just yet. He left behind a cryptic note asking for "One last performance in the purifying waters."
Conditions:
*Locate the "purifying waters".
*Perform a cover of Purple Rain at this location, uninterrupted for a full turn. At the very least it should be a great performance so getting an [8] on the performance roll is required to fulfill the Quest. Music/Performance related abilities count toward this roll.
Reward: 2 Points
I hope no one minds, but I am bumping the amount of active players from 10 to 12. This may go back to 10 in the future, but hopefully I can maintain this larger amount.
