AMALTHEA

[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.]

Walls 'n guards 'n moats, too. Seems a li'l anticlimactic.

CASTLE

[personal profile] unlocksmith 2013-10-13 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Clock Catapult - 30
Mirror shard Arrows - 30
Wine Glass Spears - 30
Scone Guards - 10

[Amalthea's castle is THE MOST FEROCIOUS CASTLE!! It's decked out with catapults lining the walls, scone guards with mirror shard arrows leaning out of every window, and wine glass spears sticking out of the door to discourage any approach by an enemy team. It looks like they also used clay and clock wires to forge their own spears, knives, arrows, and other weapons, which are sticking out of the toothpick walls on. . . every side of the castle. They've also given the goat on their flag angry eyebrows, sharp teeth, and claws. IT IS NOW A FEROCIOUS AND ANGRY GOAT!!

In addition to that they've also used clay and clock parts to build a fence of spikes around the castle. WHAT NOW, ENEMY COMBATANTS? WHAT NOW!!]

None of 'em are attacks. I dunno why she ain't giving' us knives and swords, considerin' she was pretty quick to ask us to cut ourselves apart last game.

...Yeah. Defense?

[personal profile] unlocksmith 2013-10-13 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not more offense?
zeroexposure: (Default)

[personal profile] zeroexposure 2013-10-13 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if we steal a defense item from...say, Epona, their castle would be less likely to withstand our attack, right?
