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.

Well, I'm guessing we win if our castle is the least damaged or we wreck someone else's castle so...

So...

I think we should spend the most on the catapults.

[THIS SEEMS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO HIM.]

Clock catapults, mirror shard arrows, and wine glass spears.

[a beat]

Not that any of those things would make good weapons in real life.

That just leaves 10 points for defense, though...

So we build our castle to be fierce and frightenin'. That way people don't try to attack it, yeah?

I guess that could work.

Buy the guards and give 'em lots of. . . pastry weapons.

What if we used this clay to make monsters? Guard animals, to go alongside the guards we buy.

Perfect, yeah? And even if we don't have a moat, we can build a fence of spikes around our castle, too.

Not that they'll actually do anything, but as long as it looks scary I guess it'll work.

Exactly.

We should redecorate our flag, too. Put some bones or something with lots of teeth and claws on it.

[pokes their goat flag. . .]

I don't even know what this creature is.
