[A thick mist descends, obscuring everything but a small area around you and your teammates. There's a sudden feeling of distance . . . and you find yourselves in a new patch of garden. Grass is thick and springy underfoot, but more noticeable is the picnic blanket, the picnic baskets filled with building supplies, and the toothpick skeleton of a large castle. Perched atop of it, waving merrily in the breeze, is a flag of your team's color and animal.]

You have 100 points to spend on parts. Choose wisely.

[Each picnic basket has a label tacked to the handle, indicating what each item costs.]

[Walls:
- Tea cosy walls (10 points)
- Teacup walls (20 points)
- Mirror walls (30 points)

Guards:
- Scone guards (10 points)
- Teapot guards (20 points)
- Clockwork guards (30 points)

Moats:
- Empty moat (10 points)
- Moat with mirror shards (20 points)
- Moat with hot tea (30 points)

Offense:

Catapults
- Crumpet catapult (10 points)
- Cuckoo catapult (20 points)
- Clock catapult (30 points)

Arrows
- Ladyfinger arrows (10 points)
- Rose arrows (20 points)
- Mirror shard arrows (30 points)

Spears
- Sunflower spears (10 points)
- Cocktail umbrella spears (20 points)
- Wine glass spears (30 points)]

[In addition to the labelled supplies, there are many more that come without a cost. Paints, squishy blocks that can be moulded as you please, finger foods, anything you'd find at a tea party, bits pieces of clocks (as well as whole ones), mouldable sheets of highly reflective glass, and a few rolls of fabric . . . You instinctively know that they'll add nothing to your offence or defence, but they're there to use as you see fit.]

Round 2: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

[soulping]

And now, my dears, it's time to pick your attacks. Only one from each category, please. And you may only send one to each team you choose. We wouldn't want to unfairly gang up on anyone, now would we?

[And then you are given a list of attacks, all of them written in neat, loopy manuscript on the page of a lavender notebook]

Low Attacks
- Nuts and bolts and gears and things in a slingshot
- Flower petals in a slingshot
- Parasol swords
- Tea saucer discs
- Crumpet crumbs

High Attacks
- HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME (a giant cuckoo clock with a boxing glove where the bird should be)
- Bubbling hot strawberry jam
- Butter knife spears
- Steamed tea bags
- Shattered cup and plate shards

Re: Round 2: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

Bubbling hot strawberry jam should be the high attack. That sounds like one of the most painful on that list.

Re: Round 2: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

[songofahero]

Then we'll give them that! Epona are our sworn enemies after all! And Nuts and bolts and gears and things in a slingshot to Barghest.
