Rin was on a vague sort of high as she approached the life hunter battle arena. It was time for jenga. Not just any jenga either, but life jenga!

BATTLE ARENA

General Information
The portal opens up into an observation room, and down the stairs, an odd chamber for something like hunter training. At the center of a piranha-filled pool stands a solid stone table and several chairs. The Life Arena was built underneath the demolitions and ballistics testing areas, and the chamber rumbles with the occasional explosions above. Pinpoint red lasers sweep across the room regularly, as if hidden snipers are searching for a nice target. In the center of the table sits a wooden tower, made up of smaller wooden blocks. Yes. That's right. The Life Hunters prefer to train via Jenga.

Note: Distraction techniques and Yo Momma jokes are considered viable weapons when playing competitively.

If you fail: you have knocked down the tower! A small dart hits the back of your neck. You come to several hours later, and hope Dr. H didn't do anything to your body while you were unconscious. When you look into the mirror...

If you win: you have reached 50 points! You get a sharpie marker to do with as you please. peen points go to those with the highest scores.


    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

    Trainee Roll: 1d8

    Points per piece: 4
    Trainee Roll: 1d6
    Life Trainee Roll: 1d8
    Hunter Roll: 1d8
    Life Hunter Roll: 1d10

  • Round 4

    Points per piece: 10
    Trainee Roll: 1d4
    Life Trainee Roll: 1d6
    Hunter Roll: 1d6

    Bonus Mechanics
  • Life Hunters train for precise hand eye coordination and exceptional judgement, thus they have a slightly lower chance of knocking down the tower.

Rin sat down at the table and promptly bit her lip as she carefully worked over her tower. Piece by piece each one came down. Piece by piece her heart leapt up into her throat.

One piece... two piece... three pieee-COLLAPSE!
Suddenly Rin felt a sharp pang at the back of her neck.

It was a while later before she had finally come to again with a dazed yawn. Unaware yet that a random lifer must have happened past and not only reset the blocks but had fondly given Rin an excellent pair of squiggly angry eyebrows for her efforts.

And Rin was promptly back at removing the blocks. None the wiser to how many times she's done this yet.

And up again she was only now she was the proud owner of a little twiddly Hitler mustache as she started again.

Rin might very likely die from overdosing on these darts but then where would the life labs get their fun? It seems a small betting pool has been started...

Coming to again Rin had the strange addition of what appears to be the beginnings of a game of hang man on her right cheek with various dashes on her left for the letters to go.

Rin was hopeful that stretching out real quick would help her success in the matter before proceeding.

She thought wrong.

She thought so wrong.

It appears at least the little hangman game now has a little round head and a Z scribbled on her neck somewhere.
