Starting AreaMapWelcome back to Wiki Wars Redux, loyal viewers and new fans alike! We begin with a couple more contestants than last time, so that should definitely shake things up!
This time, our starting area is the scenic Yosemite National Park! Selected by the winner of our last round, Yosemite is a world renowned park visited by over 4 million people each year! Covering over seven hundred thousand acres of California land, this place will serve as our second battleground for Wikipedia Wars Redux.
Now then, let's move our focus to Glacier Point, which overlooks much of the park. Our contested are currently due to appear there at any given moment!
As we look down at the base of Glacier point where Yosemite Conservation Heritage Center sits, it appears we have have our first Warrior!
A small portion of air atop the chilly viewpoint erupts in heat and bursts in to flame. After a few moments the smoke clears, and our first Warrior becomes apparent!Though clad in relatively ordinary clothes, he looks just a bit...
off on further inspection. A small, barely visible set of horns of peeks out through his hair. Strapped to his back is an oddly human looking cardboard cutout. The man eyes the arts & crafts supplies stored in their various pockets, and nods with confidence. This Warrior goes by the name of OceanSoul. That's right, this is our returning champion, and the one who selected this starting area. Was their choice based on some sort of strategy, or do they just really love Yosemite? Time will tell.
OceanSoul has decided to forgo the champion's advantage and start fresh with a new set of 5 articles. Breaking from tradition, they are our first Warrior to have a sponsor other than Wikipedia. Their sponsorship is from TvTropes instead! How will their alternative articles fare in this battle royale? Let's find out.
Here comes our next Warrior! Climbing up the side of the mountain, its NRDL! He looks really pleased with his articles, and punches the air with his boxing glove held high as he reaches the summit! He examined the odorous fruit bagged at his waste, and juggles the soccer ball at his feet to pass the time as the rest of the Warriors begin to arrive.
Next up, here comes Rautherdir, driving up the road in a big truck with a
loudspeaker on the back! Our runner up last round, Rautherdir is one to watch. As with OceanSoul, this time around they are sponsored by TvTropes. Arriving at his destination, he stops the vehicle and stows away the keys in one of his pockets. Slowly but surely, he begins to make his way to the others.
Our next contestant is rolling up in a fancy sports car! After parking nearby Rautherdir's truck, the driver slowly but surely exits the vehicle. Exiting the car behind him are a pair of fighting dogs on a leash! This contestant is a new one, and they go by the name of NAV! Backing up their assets are an impressive set of football skills. Will he be able to keep his dogs under control? They could prove a great asset in this competition.
Marching to the peak of Glacier point is a Warrior clad in military uniform! This is the new and improved Enemy post, who carries an Enfield Revolver at his hip and years of british royal navy experience in his mind. In his right hand, he holds a bass guitar of great quality. In his left, a script to a fairly popular play. In an ideal world, he would never need to draw the gun, but this is probably not an ideal world.
Sailing down Merced River in a canoe is another new Warrior! Signed under the name DolosusDoleus, they carry some interesting wares potentially for sale. It is yet unknown why a mercantile type such as them would come to the Wars, but fame and fortune would certainly be as good a reason as any. Nearing their destination, they tie the canoe to a nearby tree trunk, and start hiking to the summit of Glacier Point.
Joining the more military minded Enemy post is another returning Warrior! After tying up their kayak on the Merced River like DolosusDoleus, the one known as Ziizo marches up the mountain, loyal Canadian cadet in tow! They both bear an identical firearm, the FN P35! Also known as the Browning Hi Power, this iconic pistol has served as the standard sidearm for the Canadian navy since it was created over 80 years ago! With that much firepower at their disposal, Ziizo looks to have a good chance at winning this round. The power of one's articles alone is not enough to secure victory, however. Ziizo and Enemy post share a nod as military men are prone to do, and square off to begin as soon as possible.
Finally, last but not least is another new Warrior! As they complete the climb to the summit, they put down a heavy lead case with unknown contents and take a breath of fresh air. With a somewhat agile body type, they wear an English soccer uniform and hold the ball to match it. Their name? AbstractTraitorHero! In the back of their mind, they recall the hidden location of a small building they will be able to use as a base of operations throughout this battle. They know there will be potentially valuable supplies there, so it may be a good idea to dash away the moment this fight starts. However, their soccer skills should be enough tide them over until then hopefully.
With that, these 8 willing gladiators form a makeshift circle, and wait for the signal for their battle to begin. After many a tense moment, the sound of a cannon breaks through the silence! All parties look to the sky for a brief moment! An impressive display of fireworks signifies the beginning of this conflict!

Summon Lesser Demons: 5 turn cool down. Available. Summons a couple fire imps to harass your foes.
Infernal Fireball: 5 turn cool down. Available. Demonic fire burns harsher than regular fire, as it turns out.

Woodland Warrior: If you are in the woods with a wiki warrior to attack, you become much more powerful. The forest itself may obey your whims.

Teleportation can only be done once for each combat you declare a draw.
