[ Suddenly you find yourself on top of a large, team-colored tower -- the ones in the center of the lake, to be precise. Inspecting closer you’ll find that the tower is actually made of removable blocks: large, brittle candy blocks.

Looking around you, all of the other teams’ towers are visible to you, in a circle around the wide lake. But although you can make out the number of blocks in each tower and which team they belong to, it is impossible to yell between towers. Huh.

On top of your platform is a set of three objects on a table, with a sign that says “Eat one and win!”: a Jawbreaker, some Peanut Brittle, and a small cup of Whipped Cream.

There are no handrails or edges, and if you peer over the side, you can see that your tower is standing in a lake made of jello. . . ]

ROUND 1

[soulping]

ITEMS:

JAWBREAKER: cause two random blocks to be shaken out of an enemy’s tower, and a 1 in 3 chance of them losing a random block the next turn (roll a 3 on a d3)
WHIPPED CREAM: become disoriented, losing the ability to decide what blocks you pick for one round. Effects stack if multiples are played on the same team; does not affect special attacks.
PEANUT BRITTLE: removes two blocks of your choosing from an enemy’s tower.

[ please select blocks based on their number; the numbers are on the spreadsheet provided. Ex: 10.1, 3.3, etc ]

[ Add any special items here too! ]

Re: Discussion

[cantando]

...Well them.

[leaning down to poke at the blocks beneath them.]

[3g]

[ priorities. floating over the edge. ]

The hell is the lake made of?

[cantando]

Jell-o.

[3g]

... What's that.

[cosmetician]

Tasty gelatin.

Re: Discussion

[cosmetician]

I like the sound of peanut brittle.

Re: Discussion

[cantando]

Yeah, but who're we gonna play it on? Tiamat?

[I may be pissy about Ochre and Knight right now. CANDYBATHS FOR ALL.]

[3g]

If we have to eat it, do not throw it at me.

Re: Discussion

[cosmetician]

Tiamat's fine with me. Want to leave it at that or play something else on top of the peanut brittle?

[cosmetician]

It's more like we'll fall into the stuff if we lose.

But I promise not to throw any at you once we resurface, if that happens.

[3g]

Ugh. I'll take it.

Re: Discussion

[cantando]

Nah, save the others for later. Don't wanna blow everything now.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

RESULTS

[soulping]

- With a wet PLOP a white, sticky substance much like whipped cream lands gently on your...everything. You lose the ability to pick which blocks you select for ONE round! Delicious.
- With a RUMBLE blocks 3.1 and 2.3 fall from your tower. Jawbreaker earthquake!
- With a CRACK, blocks 1.2 and 1.3 turn into peanut brittle and disappear.
- With a CRACK, 2.1 and 2.2 turn into peanut brittle and disappear.

Blocks 9.2 and 6.2 are removed from your tower.

Your tower FALLS. You gently slow fall down into the great jello below you, and get to enjoy swimming around in it until you feel slowly drawn back to the picnic tables....

Re: Discussion

[secretofthefox]

We should probably start with blocks closer to the top, right?

[...meanwhile Fiere might be sniffing the platform a bit]

[3g]

Yeah, and the middle ones aren't very useful for support, so don't worry about 'em.

[ HE WANTS TO SCAN THE BLOCKS BUT IS RESISTING. ]

Re: Discussion

[cosmetician]

We might not last too many rounds, you know. Depends on how hard we get hit on account of being Jo's team.

[secretofthefox]

We probably shouldn't take just the center ones though... I mean, if another team uses one of those things to take a block from the side of that row, we're out of luck, right?

[3g]

Nah, I mean the center ones are the least useful to take. Unless they're on top. Or they can balance really well.

[secretofthefox]

Oh. Right. Yeah, that's true.

Re: Discussion

[cantando]

Might as well try to play like we're not gonna immediately lose, tho.

Re: Turn-In

[cosmetician]

peanut brittle, tiamat, 3.1 and 2.3

rats: 9.2, 6.2
