DAWON

[. . . you wake up laying prone on your stomach on a swaying hanging bird cage. The entire room around you is dark, making it impossible to tell what your surroundings are. The cage is plenty large enough to fit you and your team, and the iron bars are far too tough to be broken. The cage is suspended by rickety chains over a large pit of fire]

[NEEDLESS TO SAY. . . falling would not be a pleasant experience]

[You can see the other team cages suspended in the air around you. They're far enough away that you can easily hold a private conversation with your team, but close enough that if you yell really loudly, you may be able to talk to them]

[The strange voice speaks up again]

See those chains? Ah yes, the ones that are keeping you from plummeting to your deaths below. They're old, rickety, and weak. Too much weight will surely break them. So what do you think your goal is? That's right! Try to break the other teams' chains, while keeping yours safe! Ahahaha! Let's see how well you all do!

Ah. . . right. And one last thing.

If every team winds up with the exact same amount of stones, then I'll make sure e̺̪ͥ̽̉̽̈́̈́̌ ́́͗v͂ͭ̐ͫͭ̾ ̰̦͎̬͚ͮ͒̍e̳̼͔̤̼͐̓ͨ̍ͤ̏ ͌̏̓̑͊̉r̭̗̰̬̫͕ͯ ̜̲̩̠̪̥̱͐̿͑͋͐̅̀y̘̓͌ ̪̻̲̪͎̰̤o̺̮͇͇̒̅ ̣̟̞̜̥̪̰̊ͧ̅n͍̺͎̯̰̠ ̤͔̘͉͉̼e̜͚̤͕̻͊͐̈́̒̂̃ͣ ̤̝̦̦͈̹ͯ̓̅̎̈̆̀'̣̞̯ ̝͈̭̪̤̇̈ͮ͑͛ͮ̋s̗̠͚̦̤̭̥̔̈́͌ͪͯ̈̎ chains break.

[There's a small, circular weight tray hanging from the ceiling of the cage. You can see that there are THREE stones sitting within it]

[Who will you send them to?]

...we have to play them. Or most of them. There is no way we'll survive if we keep all three to ourselves.

[looking extremely resigned]

One stone per team, to a team not on our list?

Barghest, Gulgallana, Ometotchtli.

[The round begins. . . and your weight tray is empty! Lucky you, it seems like no teams played stones you on this past round!]

[But don't get too comfortable. After a moment, you hear three loud CLUNKS of stones falling into the tray. . . which is soon followed by the mysterious voice]

Hahaha! No one wanted to share with you last round, huh? No matter! Here's three extra stones on me. Free of charge. Aren't I generous?

[Well. . . now you have three more stones to distribute]

Jackass.

And here I thought it would be a real gift.
