There's someone.... or something.... and we can't see it." She squinted her eyes at the tree, then gripped her fists. "It's not safe." 1 hour ago, The Stormfather said: "Hello? Have any of you considered running away?" Mark asks. "Whoever or whatever was in that tree probably threw some rocks upwards. If I were in that position, I'd be sneaking around to hit them in the back, so we need to get moving. Now." “I’ve got my iron now. We can pretend we don’t notice the sneak attack and then cause an ambush. Honestly, I can stall while you get away. As long as you have that axe, Jaksyn, I can find you. See you soon, and good luck.” Tondon taps and stores during his idea to make people decide that he’s trustworthy and unimportant enough for the plan to work. @Lotus Blossom @LightRinger @The Stormfather @Unintelligenius

I just need one, and I’m hoping it’s free” Quote NOOOOO AUTOCORRECT I THOUGHT WE WERE PAST THIS “I have a coin,” Corin says. “But you’ll have to—” he cuts off sharply. No gambling. “All yours.” He flips it across the counter.

How much do you have stored in it? Invested things are hard to move. But I can reach it. I think if I tap enough in a burst, I might be able to ironsight the entire arena.” Quote Jaksyn is storing enough luck that the metalmind might just fly off. But Tondon doesn’t know that.

If I’m gonna pull you, I’d be pulled at the same rate, so we’d end up just crashing into each other. Where are you trying to go? Into the tree?” He looks around for anyone who might be a threat.

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 1 hour ago, Edema Rue said: “Think deeper,” Corin said. “Think of deaths, of investiture, of stories and secrets.” He shrugged. “Give the people a reason to care. The more dramatic your actions, the better items I can give you.” Tinker stared blankly at Corin for a second. Then he groaned loudly and put his hand to his face. "For the love of... I'm not selling my life to you people!" he yelled. "Why would I sacrifice who I am for an advantage?! You've taken enough from me. I'm not losing my morals to you, too." He turned and started walking towards the door.

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 (edited) Tinker stepped out of the Casino out onto the snowy ground. He walked in Marewill's direction, trying to contain his anger. He walked past without glancing at her. "Let's go," he said, barely slowing down. "There's nothing for me in there." @Spark of Hope Edited June 7, 2024 by The Bookwyrm

Why is this whole trial designed to remove who we are? Is taking our lives not enough for them? How evil are these people? @SmilingPanda19 @Edema Rue Quote What do the far edges of the arena look like? Are there trees, more caves? And are they going to encounter anything?

As he tries to control the sand, nothing happens. “No fighting inside the Casino,” he says. His lips seem trying to twitch into a smirk, but his eyes are still blank. Quote i will keep that all in mind. i will have roy give up and start asking for stuff again. how powerfull in turms of stuff can i get? like dawnshard level or shardblade? "do you like the GM's is that why you don't want to help me? no wait of course! the gm's can hear everything that's going on in here. that means that..." roy trailed off looking worried about how the gm's might react to what he had said... Quote also... what to offer? you said devi which made me think blood because she always askes for a drop of blood before a transaction but now i think you meant secrets. as she always tries to drive people so deep in dept that she can gain secrets from them. all roy knows is that because he saw a gm do some less than leagle stuff he was forced to enter the arena or be executed Edited June 8, 2024 by RoyalBeeMage 1
