VANARA VS ALECTRYON

[soulping]

[You are whisked away to a small, dark crypt. Torches flicker on the cobweb-covered walls and a mysterious stone altar stands in the center of the room. There are two holes carved into the top of the altar: one is empty, and in the other stands a rod with a team-colored flag attached. Lined up in front of the flag are guns for every member of your team, but you all know instinctively that they're harmless. Hanging on the wall behind the altar is a parchment with the instructions of the game.]

VANARA CRYPT

[soulping]

[allergictostairs]

[(unsure)

takes one of those guns...]

[hatebound]

[also takes one]

It would seem this is another one of these 'sneaking' games. . .

[>:\]

[allergictostairs]

...are you good at "sneaking".

[at least we're both tiny enough to duck behind graves?]

[hatebound]

[unfortunately his helmet adds like an extra foot of easily spotted headfins]

I would rather face my opponents. But if we need to be discreet to win this game, then I will try.

[or he can just shoot the other team in the face a lot, whatever]

[allergictostairs]

[welp]

Uh, well, I guess we could just try and shoot 'em all first if that would be easier...

[ambush?? that's sneaky right]

ALECTRYON CRYPT

[ Glancing over the rules. ]

This doesn't sound too difficult...

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Protect our flag and grab theirs, huh? What's the plan?

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

[ Thinking... ]

...We lose if our flag is on their altar, right? But not if it's just in their crypt?

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Seems like it.

[fires his gun at a cobweb, just to test the sucker out]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

What if one of us hides the flag on our person - like in my bra, or something - and then goes to steal their flag? And the other one of us just hides out of sight so they can't be shot.

CEMETERY

[soulping]

[Venture outside of your crypts and you'll be back in the cemetery: still dark, still creepy, still covered in thick fog. Your opponent's base is across the graveyard from yours. Go get those flags!

Map
-Green squares and statues in rows are graves.
-Large green diamonds in opposite corners are crypts. Vanara is on top left, Alectryon is on bottom right.
-Grey rectangles are mausoleums. There are five and they are all open to enter.]

[notsuperman]

[ Guess I'm heading over toward one of the mausoleums to hide... ]

4

[hatebound]

[having brutally murdered taken down your teammate, two Vanaras will eventually be checking out said mausoleum. . . also this one is holding his team's flag in his free hand]

Re: 4

[soulping]

[Official player handwaving states that Io is soon taken out of the game as well. Vanara's altar glows with mystical power-!

Not that you're there to see it. Either way, the fog in the graveyard suddenly begins to dissipate, revealing a doorway standing unsupported in front of each player. Stepping across the threshold returns you to a friendlier scene.]

2 out of 6

[allergictostairs]

[The second of the murderers vanara duo follows along behind the first one, keeping an eye out for any surprise attacks...

(but oops he's doing a bad job because he's just jumping at shadows)]

Re: CEMETERY

[murimurimuri]

[Having hidden the flag elsewhere, this loser is running around with the flagpole conspicuously in his pants. He kinda seems like he's trying to be inconspicuous...]

4

[hatebound]

[that's. that's pretty conspicuous, but then this guy can't really talk considering he's literally just holding the flag in his free hand. and he's not exactly hard to spot]

[shooting at soon as he sees movement]

Also 4

[murimurimuri]

[whips around and shoots back!]

3

[hatebound]

[hit! he ducks behind cover. . . sort of. not very well. but shooting back, again]

5 out of 10?

[allergictostairs]

[was following minotaur from behind so BELATEDLY ALSO SHOOTING?? his aim is kind of 50/50 though since he's startled and it's dark]

oh I thought we were doing a d6. 7!

[murimurimuri]

[dodges the shot, by which I mean he tripped and fell down while getting shot in the thread above]

Re: oh I thought we were doing a d6. 7!

[allergictostairs]

[would have shot you while you were down but oops minotaur beat him to it.

uh. yeah. okay then!]
