Starting AreaRules-lawyer my way out of the condition. Strike him in the head this time!
Do I get anything if I win, other than satisfaction and a simple title?
Manipulate OceanSoul's Rules-lawyering to help me as well, and act out causing a volcanic eruption under him. While using Eruption.
(Thrombolysis normally requires blood clots to work on yes. In fact, I made a hidden roll to see how effective this instance of it would be last turn because of that fact. OceanSoul rolled pretty high, so it is a rather minor case, and will wear off soon unless new injuries occur. Note that I'm not rolling for any of this lawyering, and had already decided all of this in advance. As for rewards other than the title and satisfaction... Well, just wait and see.)
Rautherdir decides he has had quite enough of this awful treatment, and uses his final trump card!
ERUPTION!6: The ground quakes with volcanic fury, and an earthquake of immense proportions strikes the President's College. All students and staff are roused from their seats, confused and unaware of what is about to occur. All around the island, seismographs pick up unprecedented activity.
With a sudden
*BANG* an immense amount of rock flies upwards outside the college as the earth cracks apart! A huge crater opens in the vicinity! Magma from the earth's mantle bursts forth, raining all over the entire area!
Survival Rolls:
OceanSoul: 7
Rautherdir: 10
Civilians: 1
Rautherdir's Car: 7
The Music Room at the college is relatively unscathed despite the magmatic explosion that occured outside. OceanSoul is only tripped up slightly by the earthen catastrophe until a couple small fragments of the wall break off and dig into his upper body! The rest of the college is buried under over a meter of lava, and most if not all of the other people in the vicinity die instantaniously! Rautherdir's car does not survive the immense heat, and begins to melt into slag! All of the dead battlers have been engulfed by the lava as well, consuming their bodies!
Now, OceanSoul takes their opportunity to retaliate!
1v9-4: OceanSoul trips over an old drum set that fell over in the chaos, smashing their face to the floor! Ouch!
Rautherdir Wound Worsening Roll: 1-2: Unfortunately, this is when Rautherdir's body finally gives up the ghost, and he collapses in a pool of blood. As he falls, his snake tries in vain to escape, but is crushed by the fall. Evidently, his mortal wound didn't react well to all that shaking. OceanSoul gets one final article before this round comes to a close. Here it is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CastleknockOceanSoul feels a deed to an old ruined castle appear in their hand, and is whisked away towards it in a burst of light. He feels all the ails the competition gave him cured, and notes that he is now sitting in a somewhat opulent throne. A fitting place for the New Wiki Wars Champion!
As he contemplates his victory, a small silvery portal appears nearby. Out of it comes a tall, odd figure in a grey robe. You cannot see their face or any other features, as they are wreathed in shadow. The figure begins to speak in a monotone rhythm impossible to adequately describe.
"Congratulations on your victory, OceanSoul. At this point, you have two options."
"The first is that you can retire in this world, and be granted whatever you desire. You will live in luxury, and be given almost anything you wish within reason. You will not be held accountable for any of the damage done or lives lost in this competition."
"The second is that you continue keep fighting and defend your championship, bringing along all your rewards to a second Wiki War. Should you claim victory once more, the rewards may be even greater."
"If you choose the former option, you may still watch an alternate version of yourself enter the Wiki Wars, and live vicariously as they fight in your stead. You are under no obligation to keep fighting, but the Wiki Wars tend to draw in a particular sort of person, and I have high hopes that you are among that sort. Feel free to take your time on this decision, as the next war will not begin for some time."
"Before you make your choice, there is but one more thing to do."
A digital scoreboard appears in the room for all those inside it to see, as well as
all of those watching from outside."Now that the first round of Wiki Wars Redux is over, it is time to dole out our prizes. These will of course be in the form of the Wiki Points which were alluded to earlier. So, let's examine the scores."
NRDL: Died first. +1 wiki point.
Enemy Post: Died second. +1 wiki point.
Mallos: Died third/fourth. +2 wiki points
Ziizo: Died third/fourth. +2 wiki points. Achieved two kills. +2 wiki points. First blood! +1 wiki point.
Rautherdir: Died fifth. +3 wiki points. Achieved one kill. +1 wiki point.
OceanSoul: Achieved two kills. +2 wiki points. Champion! +5 wiki points.
"As you can see, Mallos and Ziizo were tied for death placing. This altered scoring somewhat. As is probably no surprise, Ziizo amassed quite the pool of points. You are probably wondering what use a dead man could have for
points. Worry not. Some mortals remember more than others, but these flesh sacks are not the ones that will recieve the points. They shall go to a higher power, the ones who were pulling their strings. Ah, but I'm rambling. I don't expect you to fully grasp the situation. Suffice to say that you no longer controlled your own fate the moment you signed that waiver... Anyway, this concludes the first battle of many. If you have any questions... I might not answer them."
The defeated: All except Rautherdir are consumed by magma. No bodies to loot here anymore.
That roll would not normally be sufficient to create a new volcano. However, there appeared to be no nearby volcanoes for this ability to work on. As such, I was left with no choice in the matter.
This paragraph is mostly to OceanSoul. Basically, choice one is that you get added to a high scores table in the first post and can start a new character. You will keep your Wiki Points, but nothing else. Choice two is as it seems, everything carries over. Most sane people would probably not pick option 2 if in character to be honest. Essentially, here's the situation.
The person you controlled in game was someone who unknowingly volunteered to become a host to something otherwise formless, but no doubt horrifying: A Bay12 forum poster.
So, after OceanSoul makes their choice, I'll show you what you can do with all those points you just got. Signups begin the moment I post the table you can buy stuff from. You'll know what I mean. The next round should have 8 players, and not all of them have to be returners. As before, it'll be first come first served.
