Turn 5: Blood and WineINIT:
Glass/Ash Hong(28)
Dermonster/Derm(92)
DoctorMcTaalik/DrM(13)
OceanSoul/Blue(54-20=34)
Yottawhat/Curtis(11)
Mallos/Ckaeyod(31)
Golem(27)
Derm, drawing power from his legend, was first to act.
Well, then I'd like to somehow render the gun unusable, for fusing or using.
Somehow... How?!(6) ((mental action, doesn't really require willpower on same scale as physical actions))
Derm realized that by throwing the gun into the fusion pit, he could regenerate his health and deny his opponent the gun!
Manage To Fight the Pain!(2)
It was a brilliant idea, with only one problem. Why was everything sideways? Why couldn't he move? And why AARGH THE PAIN!
Meanwhile,
Blue and
Ckaeyod were taking action.
Fight through the pain! Another stab!
Is Derm on top of the pit, or within it? If the latter, finish off Derm.
Curtis was already in motion, so Blue had to act fast.
Box Open?!(5)
Luckily the radio knives box was already open. Blue grabbed a knife from within and thrust his blade at Curtis' chest!
Stab Him!(1-1=0) vs. Block It!(6)
Critical Fail Luck!(1)
The knife point struck the brown gemstone in the center of the shield. Somehow, this set the shield off!
Shield Potency(1)
Causing a little bit of ground underneath Blue to disappear.
Fall Resist(2)
It didn't go too badly. Blue was merely knocked down a notch. Lying down. Vulnerable.
Getting back to Derm's finale...
Focus on dodging what will be Derm's last hurrah. All I have to do is dodge his next attack and he'll be dead and I'll be a LEGEND!
Ckaeyod stared down Derm's body. Almost dead. Almost dead. Just a little longer.
Well, that was a scary glare.
Before Curtis finished his attack, however,
Ash Hong was negotiating with a
Dryad.
...I'm not sure, actually. It is 100% fair for you to not believe me. Just... please, give me the benefit of the doubt. You don't need to aid me one single bit, just, I would like to keep being alive.
Negotiation!(2)
The Dryad listened.
"There is only one bit of mercy I have for you. A head start."At least he had the chance to negotiate. The
Golem and
DrM didn't do any such thing.
Intruder detected. Implement standard combat protocols.
Golem Cast Fist!(5) vs. Dodge That!(6)
The Golem's high-velocity fist was dodged by an effective rolling dodge. A disorienting rolling dodge.
Run Off!(3) ((Normally I wouldn't roll.))
That disorientation stopped DrM from getting all the way out of the hills. The Golem was still pursuing him.
Finally,
Curtis decided to take advantage of Blue's painful blunder.
Excavate the ground behind Blue downward at a angle and push him back.
Shield Potency(2)
The ground beneath Blue disappeared. A little bit of it, anyway. Blue could probably easily escape if he was in good shape... which he wasn't.
Fall Resist!(3)
Blue's already twisted ankle flared up in response to the impact. (Agonized persists)
Derm, with his last bit of energy, glared down Ckaeyod, and resolved to return. Eventually. Then he died.
At the same time as Derm's death, a new combatant appeared.
Dave Blade, the mysterious sunglasses man, had arrived.
A bottle of wine promptly fell into his hands. It was red.

FOU, I have a question...
What happens to our loot when we die? Is it replaced by a new piece of loot for the killer, or is the loot they already had the prize? Could loot be stolen instead of claimed by murder?
See the OP.
To answer the questions:
The loot stays in existence.
It's not replaced.
Though killing a boss will generate a new piece of loot.
Stealing is an option.
It may be possible that the loot mechanics may be influenced by loot, but such abilities will be rather rare.
