In homage to Execute, who has somehow survived 40+ turns, I have based a character on Prince Executus and Yuri in Shadestyle's Darkness Redeemed RPG, as a Russian Prince and his loyal Boyar subject who can travel through paintings.[/b]
((I know, right? Not for lack of trying, too, I get injured so frequently, honestly I thought I would be dead by now.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Fallacy: Ohhh, is that an adventure hook?! LOOKS LIKE I KNOW WHAT TWINWOLF IS GONNA BE DOING!))
Execute beams at his own creation, simple, and effective, looking at the boat sailing towards them, he speaks to the shaman, "Well, you see, the answer to that involves quite a few different reasons, number one is the fact that the Wiki-Wars just... Began, at some point, one second we all went about our lives, and the next the Wiki-Wars had been an integral part of the world for centuries, the only reason we figured out that someone messed with reality was because we eventually figured out that history as it was told from Wikipedia Articles made no mention of it, people have railed against it, but...
Well, we used to have more continents before, a prevailing theory is that the Wiki-Wars was made into existance by some bored celestial power, which does explain a few things, such as this competition's near omnipotence and ability to give powers...
In any case, to answer your question more directly for some people, the promise of power is a strong one, some people are made to enter the wars, some go into it willingly, some are insane enough just to want bloodshed, others do it for the good of their people, or themselves, others find themselves without meaning, perhaps.
*Sigh*, look at it like this, you look at your land, and you think to yourself of what you could do better, if only you had the strength, I'm a failure, no matter what way you look at it, failure to my own land, failure to these people, failure to keep strong, failure to live up to the expectations, I may regret the choice of joining this, and I may one day too soon look back on the choices that led me here and felt I should have led a different path, but as long as I even see a speck of a chance in my redemption, I will unflinchingly soak my hands in blood to save those whose blood I had soaked in for my own hedonistic pleasures."
His face darkens, before he notices Twinwolf.
"Oh, hey, friend! Good to see you here, I was wondering where you went, see, I just remembered that I could open portal into paintings, and have been preparing myself as such, I need you, and some of the Jaguar Warriors, to go into the land Fallacy has painted, and take some painting supplies, they're the big boxes in the field, you can't miss them."
That said, I'll open the portal to Fallacy's world.
"Oh, Shaman, please, make a painting of whatever charms or focuses or... Anything you can think of, then give the result to me, I'll be able to give you them once I open the world inside of it, Yuri, that's the same for you, too, armour, weapons, anything you'd deem useful, it doesn't matter how it looks, as long as I'm capable of understanding what it is, I can open it without any troubles, Jaguar warriors and you, civilian, keep an eye on Twinwolf and help him out if needed, Fallacy, try to make a landscape painting of an enormous bunker, easily defensible and very durable."
That all done, paint an image of a large megaphone, one of those more modern ones, with multiple settings and such, along with a pair of binoculars, also very modern, then pull them out and use it to hail the ship.
