The battle begins!You sign your waiver, and the moment you finish filling in all the details, you find yourself engulfed in a white light. When you clear your eyes, you're standing beside a great stone pillar, on a hard cement floor. You can see a few others like yourself, some more dazed than others. Before you is an area of thick dirt surrounding a large pure black obelisk. Behind you is a great green plain. Within that plain is a forest, a large lake and river. There is also a more mountainous and rocky region. It may have been more sudden than some of you were expecting, but you all know why you're here.
Osborn Luk: -6-3=-9
Before your eyes, your waiver unfolds -
ow that stings! You drop your waiver from surprise at the heat, and it unfolds into some sort of sweater. That doesn't seem too bad. The sweater then ignites. The inside of the offending garment seems to be made of diamond, which could make for good armor. The inside also seems to be leaking a strange metallic fluid.
Suddenly, your hand burns again for a brief moment as if you were still holding the sweater. You might be able to put it on, but it would be a delicate operation. Only the outside is burning at the moment.
Johannes Luk: 5+2=7
Your waiver wraps around your arm and forms into a fairly plain round shield. You feel a little bit stronger and faster just holding it. The outward side of the shield seems to be made of some sort of flesh, and a rune is drawn in the center. You mentally activate the rune, and a small burst of flame shoots outward. Handy.
Antonio Luk: 1+1=2
Your waiver blows away into the wind, and a brief moment later a BB Rifle drops into your waiting arms. It seems to have enough ammo loaded that you won't need to worry about that sort of thing at least.
Rautherdir Luk: 6+3=9
Your waiver simply vanishes, and a bandolier of grenades wraps itself around your chest. The grenades don't seem to be the usual sort, and there is a bit of variety between them. There is a small label attached to each of the 6 grenades that describes their effects. (This list will be pmed to you.)
Hagrow Luk: -6-2=-8
Your waiver appears to be missing, but you notice something shiny on the ground. It's a silver ring! It looks kind of wet.
Greeny Luk: 2+3=5
When you arrive, you find yourself holding a large well cut ruby. You feel a little bit tougher just holding it. You're sensing something in the other people that are here. Some people have more of it than others, and all of them more so than you. Vitality perhaps?
Harvey Luk: -5-1=-6
Your waiver grows in weight substantially, and falls to the ground with a heavy THUD. At your feet is a rough stone buckler with a lightning bolt carved on the front.
Graham Luk: -3-3=-6
After arriving, you examine your waiver. Suddenly, it begins to cling to your hand and change shape. After an intense and painful burning sensation in your hand that drops you to your knees, you look back to your hand and see a bright red wooden slingshot. It doesn't seem to have any ammo with it. You also can't seem to let go of it. Interesting.
Behold my awful artistic skills. Truly astounding. The envy of many. Your numbers are in the player list, so check your starting position carefully.
Lots of high rolls this turn, in terms of absolute value anyway. Kind of dissapointed no one really made a particularly strength focused character, but we've got some interesting stuff here.
