"H-hey guys, does anyone want a drink? I have the finest, um, beer.

Ohgodpleasedon'tkillme."

Pour a little beer on the barstool to see if anything happens. If anyone gets too close, hit them in the head with the barstool.

EDIT: Muh grammar

[Paphi]

Alright, how about...Maroon? Is that taken? It is... Or Teal? Teal seems nice.

"Oh, I'd love a bit of wine! It lubricates the mind when taken moderately. May I sit, barkeep? A show seems on its way."

Sit, drink, and watch these feeble-minded beings shuffle and fight, contemplating the futility of greed and pride.

[Pancaek]

"New Bahamut Paladin Department representative here. I'd like to remind everyone that this ruby floating over there isn't your property. Also, chances are high it's a trap."

Give a little prayer to Bahamut (not the skill, just a general prayer) thanking him for putting me in the middle of what wil certainly be aconflict. Then see if there's a hole in the chain link fence or some other way to get out.

(Just so you know, their name really IS Varies)

Varies wakes up, unsure of how she came to be here in the first place. Then, realizing they had taken their natural form, he tries to make themselves appear human again (should be pretty simple). He takes a quick look around, first noticing the scientist-y fellow and his brutish focus of attention. Not understanding why a sweaty brute would be so special other than their high testosterone, she looks further to the left, finding a waitress with some curious stool. Recognizing her worry, he tries talking to her, without getting too close.

Hello? Miss? Where'd you get the barstool? Did you want to sit on it? Did you want someone ELSE to sit on it?

Currently, no one was distinctly his friend or foe. Until he had a better understanding, he would try to keep things that way.

Edit: I just realized something..The barbarian's loincloth..isn't equipped. Our clothes are equipped, so that can only mean one thing..
Edit 2: When you say Attribute shift is permanent, you don't mean that I can't shift the point BACK into the stat lost from, or anything like that, right?

Two things: First, I can see a way of making it a weapon.. once things cool down, of course. Second, the Biologist should get a small boost to his roll for it.

[Elephant Parade]

Or Teal? Teal seems nice.

Teal is fine.

Edit: I just realized something..The barbarian's loincloth..isn't equipped. Our clothes are equipped, so that can only mean one thing..

...that it was a typo!

Nah, it just means that it won't wear off or anything.

1st - Festi: 6 + 0 = 6
2nd - wait, what? nobody else went for the ruby? huh

[2] Festi attempts to will the ruby over to where he is, but the thing apparently isn't feeling it—it just hovers in midair, unaffected. [-2 MAG][+1 XP]

[1] He then begins to sprint toward it, attempting to will the ground to push him forward, but he screws up and the ground eats his feet. [-1 MAG][Buried Legs] (<-- hover for description!) [+1 XP]

"RAAAGH! THRAGNAR NAZZASH SMASH AND EAT LITTLE MAN!!!" RAAAGH! THRAGNAR NAZZASH SMASH AND EAT LITTLE MAN!!!

[3 v. 6] Thragnar, practically berserk after only a minute, furiously swings his axe at Blabert; unfortunately, Blabert's analysis has apparently given him a good enough idea of Thragnar's capabilities to avoid his strikes. Or maybe he's just lucky—who knows? [Wide Open][+1 XP]

Beer Zone

"H-hey guys, does anyone want a drink? I have the finest, um, beer. Ohgodpleasedon'tkillme." Pour a little beer on the barstool to see if anything happens. If anyone gets too close, hit them in the head.

Lonnie sets the tiny barstool down on the ground. Before he even opens the bottle, a glowing, person-sized portal opens up above the barstool; when it stops shimmering, he can see that the other side is some kind of... bar? Well, at least he'll have some defence against the horde of psychopaths.

(Just so you know, their name really IS Varies)

Varies wakes up, unsure of how she came to be here in the first place. Then, realizing they had taken their natural form, he tries to make themselves appear human again (should be pretty simple). He takes a quick look around, first noticing the scientist-y fellow and his brutish focus of attention. Not understanding why a sweaty brute would be so special other than their high testosterone, she looks further to the left, finding a waitress with some curious stool. Recognizing her worry, he tries talking to her, without getting too close.

Hello? Miss? Where'd you get the barstool? Did you want to sit on it? Did you want someone ELSE to sit on it?

Currently, no one was distinctly his friend or foe. Until he had a better understanding, he would try to keep things that way.

Varies briefly panics about not being human before realizing that he is human—or human-shaped, rather. A few glances around confirm that no-one saw his little freakout—not even the scientist, him apparently being busy fighting off some sort of green-skinned humanoid. A fellow nonhuman, apparently, but not exactly a fellow—a bit too violent for that.

He then tries to strike up a conversation with Lonnie, but the barkeep might be too distracted by the portal to respond.

"Oh, I'd love a bit of wine! It lubricates the mind when taken moderately. May I sit, barkeep? A show seems on its way." Sit, drink, and watch these feeble-minded beings shuffle and fight, contemplating the futility of greed and pride.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything for Ted to sit on—the barstool is just a tiny trinket, so it wouldn't make a very good seat even if there wasn't a dimensional portal just above it. Furthermore, the bartender is apparently too distracted by said glowing portal to give him alcohol. In the end, he's forced to philosophize sober and from a standing position.

Ah, greed! That ever-present scourge of man: the devil's right hand, corrupting the corrupt ever further. A blight upon the world, symbolized perfectly by the blood-red ruby at our arena's centre. Perhaps—

—Ted is broken out of his thoughts by the approach of a shady-looking figure. The figure is trying to sneak, it looks like, but failing miserably; stealth is functionally impossible in an open clearing, after all (unless you're a bug or something). [+1 XP]

I Stand around watching for the first person to start a fight and start slowly moving towards the overtly contemplaiting guy.

Yeah... stealth isn't really possible in a wide-open, obstacle-free space, especially if you're obviously shady—which Jack is.

Boring People Doing Boring Things

"New Bahamut Paladin Department representative here. I'd like to remind everyone that this ruby floating over there isn't your property. Also, chances are high it's a trap." Give a little prayer to Bahamut (not the skill, just a general prayer) thanking him for putting me in the middle of what wil certainly be aconflict. Then see if there's a hole in the chain link fence or some other way to get out.

Joseph gives a quick prayer to Bahamut before walking over to the fence. [5] Surprisingly, there's a hole in the fence large enough to accommodate a large, armoured man! At this point, the fence might as well not be there. [-0.5 LCK]

Killing lower-levelled heroes won't give you much XP.

DolosusDolseus: Is Lonnie male or female? The name leaves it ambiguous, and you haven't used any pronouns.

Festi uses Earth Magic to force himself out of the ground and then kinda calmly walks over to the gem.

"Guess nobody else wants it. Well, gems are more of my thing anyways.

Thanks, everyone."

Yeah, sure. I'm actually not noting down waitlister colours, since there's no way to predict the selection. I'll mention as much in the OP.
