General Information The large stone cavern with the tiled floor and large yellow smiley face is likely familiar to at least several trainees, and may even feature in a few nightmares from time to time. Welcome to Deathsweeper, the training course that may only be attempted via c-type golem, and often acts as a testing ground for the Life Division's more painful creations. Stealth and detecting imminent danger are vital for Death Hunters and anyone who has to spend extended amounts of time near Caelius. The Deathsweeper chamber is full of hidden traps that only the finest of survival instincts can survive unscathed.
If you fail: you get to once again relive the sensation of dying. Painfully and sometimes quite strangely.
If you win: you have survived stepping 5 tiles into the room. Anything further is purely for peen and bragging rights.
Mechanics roll 1 d10 check for hp loss and death decide whether or not to use your bonuses if you survive, repeat. roll list: the traps are ICly constantly changing, so feel free to get creative as to what exactly those traps are! -50% HP is off your full HP, so if you hit -50% twice, then you are 100% KO'd
01. horrible death 02. - 50% HP 03. live 04. live 05. - 50% HP 06. - 50% HP 07. horrible death 08. - 50% HP 09. live 10. horrible death
Bonus Mechanics This bonus is consumable. All participants get a flag, this flag will allow your character to notice something about the area they're stepping into. OOCly this means you can adjust your rolled number, up or down, by one point. Instinctive moves are used in the same manner as flags. These are stackable, so if you have 1 flag + 1 instinctive move, you can use them up in order to adjust your roll by two.
(If you roll a 1, you may not move your number down to 0, -1, or 10. And 10 cannot be adjusted to 1 or 11.)
Trainees: 1 flag Death Trainees: 1 flag + 1 instinctive move Hunters: 1 flag + 1 instinctive move Death Hunters: 1 flag + 2 instinctive moves

It took Ofelia a lot longer than she would have liked to get to where Deathsweeper was set up, partly because she was so winded and in pain from being injured but mostly because she'd forgotten where it was. The red-head hadn't played the game since way, way back when she first joined and so it took a little bit of effort to locate it again. It had to be done on her own, if she'd stopped and asked for directions or help or whatever people would have sent her flying back to the infirmary, so eventually the pair (the douche-boy was still following her) made it in and Ofelia motioned for him to follow.
"Ya. . . never ...used a golem. . . b'for so. . . . get in yer. . . pod. . .an' Ah'll. . .turn it on out here." The teen pointed to one of the pods and then at a control panel. There was a way to turn them on from the inside but part of her was cruel and wanted him to think he would be trapped in there if anything went wrong. "This game. . . Ah can. . . play wit'..cha. . . "
The teen moved over towards a pod and opened it, motioning for the trainee to follow and climb inside. This game, she passed on her first try last time. Honestly? She didn't think she'd be this lucky a second go around.

Jake only stared at the pod. He... was supposed to get in that? ... Was this a trick? Didn't he wake UP from a pod? Was she trying to put him back to sleep? The thought made him hesitant.
He shot a cold glare at Ofelia.
"I swear, if you're messing with me, I'll kick your a**."
After a few moments of debating, he finally climbed into the pod.

"Just try not ta die b'for Ah can get ta ya, douche-kiddo." Ofelia winked and pushed a button, closing the lid. It went down, he would be able to connect to his golem, and she hobbled over and pulled herself with a groan into the pod right next to him. Closing her eyes, she pressed a button and waited.
- - - -
And then she was loaded up in a golem, out on the floor. The kid would need to take the first step, she was just here as back-up, and Ofelia stretched and moved her body inside the golem as she waited for him to appear and figure out how to get to her.

He shot her a dirty look before the lid closed and suddenly, all was silent.
A few moments later, he opened his eyes, finding himself on the field. Just what... The scene before him looked like something out of a demented kid's game. Lava, boulder, spikes, piranhas... JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS?!
He tried to move, but felt strange. Looking down, he realized he wasn't in his own body.
"HOLY SHI-"
He raised a clawed hand and looked at it. Just... what happened to him?
Looking over, he noticed another creature. Was that... the redhead? He hand't remembered much of the trials, not yet, so he was still looking around somewhat bewildered.
After several moments, he finally calmed down, and took a step forward.

Ofelia had to suppress a chuckle at the sight of the kid freaking out. She was right in thinking it was his first time in a golem, not that she had any room to pinch an inch. Well, she did actually, because she did good in hers and never really had a problem with the golems.
Then came the moment of truth, the time to take a step, and Ofelia glanced forward. There was no point in looking, it only made things more painful, and perhaps it was in that good luck moment that she managed to land on a safe spot.
"Okay douche-kiddo, yer next." That made one step for either of them, four more to go. Rather interesting actually, to see who would make it? It didn't matter though if they didn't on their first try - you had to take five steps in order to get certified.

Wait, so they were just supposed to walk to the very end of this or something? Without getting maimed and stuff? He looked down at his body again and finally put two and two together. Well, this didn't seem TOO hard...
He took another step, and found that a piranha had latched onto his foot.

Ofelia was watching from within her golem, amused at the progress of doche-kiddo. He seemed to think this would be easy, that he'd make it out okay, and then came a pirahna. Aside from the fact it made her laugh and stumble forward, right into a trap that severed one of her legs clean off at the knee via piano wire, she would have thought he sucked.
Seeing as she was now standing on her knees, the golem having been brought down by this, she had no room to pinch an inch. "Yer turn." She was trying not to freak out, not to freak out at all, to tell herself she hadn't lost her leg.
Maybe this was all too soon.

The laugh caught his attention, and he turned just in time to see her fall flat on her face... minus a leg. Um... these weren't their REAL bodies, right? Their real bodies were in those pods, so TECHNICALLY she hadn't actually lost her leg... right? But wait... if they were able to feel PAIN...
"... Are you sure you want to keep going?"
It wasn't really concern. Or was it? He wasn't sure how she'd be able to continue anyways in the state her golem was in. Then again, he wasn't in that great shape either.
Turning his attention back in front of him, he took a deep breath. Damn. He wanted to get through this alive more than ever now.

Ofelia wasn't about to give up, she was stubborn as hell, and since she'd spent a lot of her childhood outdoors climbing and clowning around she had a lot better body control than most people would think of her. Not having a leg meant nothing, and the teen grunted and flipped herself into a handstand. She wobbled a bit, trying to keep her balance, but in the end she managed to stay upright.
Her first hand-step took her right over something horrible, she could feel it coming for her, but quick thinking caused her to buckle her elbows and send her rolling into a safe tile. She lay wheezing there for a moment, the blood pouring out of her stump, before she re-positioned herself.
"Ah'm all good. S'yer turn again." It was easy enough for her to act so flippant, but inside her mind was a small state of panic. "Look ahead, not down."

His luck seemed to be holding out... for now. Though he was quickly starting to lose feeling in the leg that was bitten. Damn, he was going to end up like one-leg over here.
He snuck another glance back, and caught her... doing a handstand? What? And then she fell down and bled all over the place.
... Down? It took all his effort not to do so. But then he ended up doing so, and barely managed to stop himself from stepping into a puddle of sizzling goop.
"Gee, thanks for the advice." he answered bitterly.

Ofelia wasn't going to last, or at least her golem wasn't going to last, and she looked at the tile next to her. With a grunt she rolled to the side, and somehow disappeared over the edge.
A puff of smoke and flames was all that came from where her golem once was as she was instantly incinerated.

This training field... was so utterly stupid. He wanted to just get it over with and get OUT of here.
"Hey, stupid bimbo, are you still-" He turned around to see a puff of smoke rise up where she had been just moments ago. .. Oh s**t. Seemed like he was on his own now.
The tiles before him seemed relatively safe... but... Hesitantly, he took a step forward, and instantly felt himself plunging to his doom.

The lid of his pod hissed open and he sat up, gasping. Just what... He had fell, it was pitch-black, and, and... And now they were back here.
