Turn 2: First Blood
A last second idea occurs to King Zultan before they leave the store! Turning on a dime, they run back into the store and grab a roll of duct tape off the wall before throwing a fistful of coins into the face of the shopkeep. Then, in a frenzy of tape and stone, they emerge from the shop with the latest technology in bludgeoning warfare. A bit bottom-heavy, to be sure, but most certainly effective at smashing skulls.[-Hunk of Arsendescloizite, -Shovel, -£4, +Asset: Roll of Duct Tape, +Asset: "Arsendescloizite" Shovel]
"I am a doctor!", proclaims a1s before realizing that Devastator has already hightailed it out of the town square. Not to worry however, since they have something far more pressing to attend to. Something more important than even the Wiki-Wars (
gasp!). Mangoes. For one, they have too much vitamin C! Second, their colors are far too vibrant. Why, someone should alert the locals about the horrendous blight mangoes pose to their way of being! Having nothing to write on, a1s takes the next best option and rips a pamphlet off a nearby telephone post and starts scrawling on the back with a bit of mud collected under a fingernail. [7+2(Writing)] It is quite compelling, inspiring outrage and disgust at the foul mango, sure to whip the populace into a fructophobic frenzy. That is, if a1s can find a local newspaper to shove this into the hands of.
Knightwing64 flexes, muscles quivering with an aura of strength and authority. They quickly realize that what they need most now is a group of flunkies, a few human shields to protect them from the other wiki-warriors. A quick look around reveals a nearby community center, no doubt full of unwitting soon-to-be minions. They begin to run towards the building, thoughts of schemes filling their mind and leaving the German-Bohemian oblivious to the irate TamerVirus approaching from behind.
[10 vs 2+2(Wrestling)] Checkerboard held aloft in both hands, TamerVirus repeatedly bashes Knightwing64 over the head whilst shouting
”You trying to steal my thunder?!?” The first strike leaves Knightwing64 staggered, turning around just in time for the second strike to come crashing down over their nose with a sickening crunch. A fountain of blood sprays forth, flying out of the luchador mask's nose holes and all over TamerVirus's shirt. Reeling backwards, voice distorted in pain and burbling through blood, Knightwing64 manages to gasp out “
You wanna go bro? Well too bad.. Gritting their teeth, they pour all their willpower into making their will manifest, ready to impose judgement on their vile assailant.
Devastator skids to a halt at the outskirts of Catterick, scanning the surrounding area for a business park or some sort of used car salesman. While this part of town seems more like a residential area, they do see a motorbike service station. While they only have 50 pounds in their pocket, perhaps they can cut some sort of deal? [1+1(Business)]. As it turns out, the answer is no. The proprietor turns out to be a a 200 pound slab of pure muscle tightly stuffed into a ripped biker jacket and almost immediately gets annoyed by the very suggestion that one of his vehicles could possibly be worth that little. With a snort, he mentions that he does have a tricycle somewhere in his garage that might be better suited to Devastator's price point.
MaxTheFox lays down their bell and slides the window open, much to the surprise of the civilian inside. Their questions are quickly silenced, however, as a fistful of pounds more than does the trick in convincing them to leave the room for a while. MaxTheFox is left alone with the setup which, although certainly not up to professional standards, is more than sufficient for their purposes. They crack their knuckles and quickly get to work.

Fluffe9911 looms atop the general store, cape fluttering menacingly in the breeze. What sort of criminals inhabit this hamlet? Fortunately, they don't need to look for long as they observe TamerVirus savagely beating Knightwing64 over the head with a checkerboard. Time to deliver justice to this ne'er-do-well!
TricMagic explodes! A fireball erupts from the town square, splattering the surrounding area with gore and leaving a smoking crater in the ground.
