Barghest/Amalthea

[ 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. . . ]

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! ]

[rolls up sleeves, hello scars and burns]

Hm....

What should we do?

Jawbreaker sounds like a good play. It offers one more chance than the peanut brittle.

[he manages a very small smile]

Agreed. Anyone have a sweet tooth?

Okay! Who should we play it on?

I agree.

I like sweets, if no one else wants to take it.

[don't ask me that!!]

Hm....who might most enjoy tumbling into jello?

Me, oh, me! I love sweets! [ NO ]

Why not both Jawbreaker and the peanut brittle on a single team?

There is no rule against playing both.

Ratatoskr? This is their patron, after all.

Everyone?

[ who would dislike that. ]

A fair point. Although I'd hope the jawbreaker wouldn't be wasted....do you suppose it could select blocks already removed by the peanut brittle?

[a tiny smile]

That's true. Perhaps others will have that thought, as well.

True, true....Ratatoskr?

Maybe we want to save it for the next round? It doesn't say we'll get more items.

I doubt that sincerely. If it could, we might also hit the blocks they themselves opted to remove as well.

Uhmm. . sure!

There is an old saying back home...

'Go big or go home.'

Perhaps if we struck Takshaka? They got off far too easily last time.

It sounds like she might be interested, too.

[holds up a hand, backing off]

Then I acquiesce to the lady.

[ curious about that ]

Are you worried about ruffling feathers?

[ being a cat and all ]
