OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[ You find yourself sequestered in a cave deep within Waldemar's mountain. A table and a set of chairs have been carved from the surrounding rock. Torches are set into the walls to provide light, while a faint breeze blows through cracks in the walls and ceiling to provide ventilation. There are no doors or windows to speak of.

In the center of the room are your (randomly assigned) gifts: A VERY LARGE JEWEL and A CRATE OF VERY GOOD MEAD.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring a massive library overflowing with scrolls and books. You are part of THE SCRIBES.

Resting on the table are the following: a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a capped jar of ink. Written on the parchment is a list and three words in bold lettering:

PROTECT
TARGET
DEFEND

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

... so we are required to choose an action out of one of these.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Yeah. I suggest we go on the attack. We gotta show some initiative.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

We should choose a team, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

We can attack anyone, since it won't actually hurt them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

Aah. And we do not know which team is which.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Hm. So we can't target anyone specifically.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

[shakes his head]

No. There will be no basis for our decision, at the very least not in the first round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Well, we just attack then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

Aaah. Would you like to pick a team?

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

How do we pick?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I believe we are to choose one team to attack, and announce it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Hmm, how about the bards. They sound easy, buncha musicians.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

Aah, if you would like.

Re: TURN-IN

[foulhussy]

[Target Bards!]

Re: DISCUSSION

Lets go on the attack again, it seems like the smartest move.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

All right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Any preferences?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I do not know. Nobles?

Re: TURN-IN

[lucciola]

[Target Nobles!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Yeah, let's take those snooty assholes down a peg!

Re: DISCUSSION

That did not work out as well as the other times.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Nope. Should we keep on the attack, or try to keep what we have?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I am not certain. We could choose a different team again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foulhussy]

Yeah, we won't win if we stay on guard. Let's go after the Jesters.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

All right.

Re: TURN-IN
