Turn 0: Wikipedia-on-Swale
A light rain drizzles upon the village of
Ellerton-on-Swale, population 110. The residents of this sleepy, picturesque English parish stay mostly to themselves, blissfully insulated from the outside world. Until now.
Strolling up from the B6271 road from the south comes a masked individual, muscles bulging in a way only a professional wrestler's can. With a diploma under one arm and justice under the other, they stride towards the town square in a way that only the nobility can
Knightwing64 lays down the law!From the north approaches a doctor, pockets bulging with vials and tinctures. But these containers don't carry medicine, but horrible weapons of war! They scan the land around them, lip curling up slightly at the nonoptimal use of zoning and agriculture in the area, and also go forth into the town.
Devastator swears to do harm!From the skies sputters forth an antique biplane, piloted by a patron of the arts and sciences. Poetry, forestry, game theory, this renaissance man is familiar with it all. Touching down on the shore of Bolton-on-Swale Lake, they fill their lungs with the warm summer air and start moving east.
TamerVirus knows it all!Also from the north comes a person in the blue-and-white of the Edinburgh Accies, hauling a massive bell in their outstretched arms. With cleats crunching on the gravel path underneath, their mind briefly goes through the methods of fundraising they learned from their many years in broadcasting.
MaxTheFox rakes in the dough!Furiously paddling up the River Swale comes a New Zealander with a chuck of rock strapped to the bow of their canoe. Despite having hiked and paddled all the way from the Middlesbrough where a warship suddenly appeared in the dock, their immaculately pressed antique Japanese naval uniform has nary a splash of water on it. Unstrapping the mineral from their vessel, they quickly tie the canoe to the dock and enter Ellerton-on-Swale.
King Zultan gets pumped up!A crack of lighting suddenly strikes an obelisk in the churchyard, with the smoke clearing to reveal a caped crusader. Without a word, they whip out a grappling hook from their utility belt towards the church's steeple and survey the surrounding landscape before identifying their target.
Fluffe9911 is vengeance! Fluffe9911 is the night!A local grocer proudly gazes over their wares, proudly nodding to himself as he appreciates the finest produce in Britain. But what's this! The mangoes, are they... rotting? He watches incredulously as before his very eyes, the mangoes grow mold, then turn black, then putrefy in a matter of seconds. Just outside, a doctor nonchalantly strolls by.
a1s lays waste to the grocery stores of the world!Astronomers look dumbstruck to their telescopes as 1322 Coppernicus suddenly disappears from their sensors. Where could it have gone? Certainly, there's no way they could have know that it had suddenly appeared on the outskirts of an English town, where an attack helicopter is just now touching down. A spandex-clad individual jumps out the door with a frontflip before sprinting towards town with over-exaggerated arm motions.
TricMagic borrows the power of your lights!The confused villagers peek out of their windows as the eight figures approach. The sound of a warhorn rumbles from over the countryside, seemingly from nowhere. The games begin now.
