AMALTHEA

[. . . 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.

It is not that so much as half the team having illicit relationships with off-team persons, and my own fortune to have world mates showing up on half of the remaining teams.

Illicit ain't the word I'd use ...

[ shrugs and folds her arms behind her head ]

But s'long as we always have a few left over to target, I s'pose I can't complain.

To be honest, I am just waiting for my husband, son, daughter, and boyfriend to show up randomly upon Vanara, Henwen, Tiamat and Barghest respectively.

At that point I might need to start murdering the lot of them, just for the sake of fairness.
