 Life Hunter
BATTLE ARENA
Mechanics
- by carefully removing pieces of the tower, you earn points and advance to the next round. As the rounds continue, the odds grow steadily against you. Rolling a 1 at any point means you have knocked down the tower. Please do enjoy your mystery dart. Anything after reaching 50 points is purely for peen.
- you may roll pieces individually (suggested for group play) or in batches of 5 (basically, a full round.)
Round 1
Pieces: 5
Points per piece: 1
Trainee Roll: 1d10
Round 2
Pieces: 5
Points per piece: 3
Trainee Roll: 1d8
Round 3
Pieces: 5
Points per piece: 4
Trainee Roll: 1d6
Round 4

Harrison hadn't been to the Life course before, but he'd heard things. The pool of water around the island was almost peaceful. The piranhas swarming in it, less so. With the metal walls, vigilant cameras, and swooping lasers the whole place looked like it had been built by a James Bond villain.
At the very center of the room was...a Jenga tower? They had to be kidding.
Yawn, B0nez said. There isn't even any strategy playing by yourself.
Harrison took a seat, and wiggled the blocks, feeling for loose ones...
The tower immediately crumbled.
How do you even knock it down on the first bl- Harrison felt a sting in his neck, and B0nez's voice went fuzzy.

He woke up groggy, with the tower reset.
Why, he thought angrily, rubbing his neck.
A penalty game, B0nez said with something suspiciously like glee.
Harrison dragged himself into the chair, and this time he wasn't so generous with the wiggling.

Alright, five pieces down. Another who-the-hell knows how many to go.
15, B0nez reminded him absently, attention almost entirely on the tower.

Ten.
Different kind of stacking than I'm used to, B0nez admitted.
We only needed 50, right? How many points are we at.
We need all the points, B0nez said.
Well, yeah, but- the tower teetered dangerously.
Watch it! B0nez warned.
s**t!
Dart.

32, B0nez admitted grudgingly when Harrison woke up.
What?
32, that's how many points you were at.
What the hell does this have to do with applying bandaids, anyhow? Am I gonna apply it sticky-side up if I can't figure out shitty block puzzles.
Heheh.

Don't they got a limit on those things? Harrison was getting used to the floor. He hauled himself back up to the table, where the same set of blocks was waiting.
He shot a dirty look at the observation room.
Rubbing the sore spots, he started removing blocks again. Maybe this was why it earned you bandaids. Because he was going to do this until it killed him.

B0nez?
Yeah.
I know you said it was a joke and all. But what if we only got until April 1st? Here I am, spending my last days on Earth playing Jenga. I mean, if it's something I can get out of, that's one thing, but if it's the end of the World...
What would you rather be doing?

Harrison felt his face heat up, and moved some blocks. Well hell, I don't know. Not getting shot at while eating vending machine food.
We could take a break, B0nez said, alert, head over to the library.
I told you, we got to get this done, otherwise-
Jenga.

Can't even go three rounds with a pile of blocks, Harrison thought, waking up in another fog on the tile. How am I supposed to go a buncha rounds against those Horses?
He stood any way. He sat down. He moved blocks.
What's one bandaid more or less.
Upping your odds, B0nez said.

More number games. I don't even like numbers, Harrison complained, moving more blocks.
Everything's a number game, B0nez said. Jenga.

How many hours had he been here? How much sleeping-stuff had he been plugged full of?
April 1st, B0nez said, not even believing it. Harrison could feel the grin.
Yeah, yeah.

Harrison's brain was stewing with drugs. Okay, Harrison said, after this round, we'll break for some crappy vending machine food.
He didn't even make it past the first five this time.Status Round: 1Pieces Taken: 4 Total Points: 4
