 Life Hunter
BATTLE ARENA
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.
Group Play
Playing in a group on any course means certain things can be shifted to make it a better experience for multiple people without holding anyone back.
An approved group play alteration for the life arena goes as follows:
When someone knocks the tower down, they are shot with a weaker dart. They will wake up 5 minutes later, the game can be reset back to the point before it fell by placing their hands on the table and saying the word, constructum. This allows them to start again where they left off instead of the beginning. They can take up to three of these darts before passing out for an hour, the game will not reset for them and they will need to try again from the beginning.
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.)

Bonus Mechanics

Attempt 1Chel was nervous about the glorified game of Jenga she was about to play. From Jason she'd learned that it wasn't so bad as the death training course (quite frankly, Chel couldn't see how any course could be more terrible than a thousand million squares trying to kill you), but it wasn't any less stressful. Mostly Chel was worried about the fact that life techs would be watching her from cameras with lasers. It was nervewracking and all around awkward.
What she found confused her a lot. A tiny table set up with a game of jenga and a black eraseboard marker. Was she supposed to do something?
BEGIN.
Lasers pointed at her and Chel frowned. The only thing TO do was the jenga. If she messed it up, they'd probably kill her anyways.
She began quickly fiddling with the middle pieces, slightly towards the top. Those were always the easy ones, right?

One more block removed and she realized what would happen. The tower slowly began to crumble, and she could see it falling. Chel actually let out a gleeful, "Oh no!"
She thought what would happen next would just be that she'd have to reset the tower and do it again. However, what she got was a sharp pain in her neck and then a complete and udder darkness.
When she awoke, someone had drawn dicks on her face. Somehow, she had a feeling Finn was behind this.

Attempt 2Groggy and somewhat shaken, Chel arrived at the Jenga tower once more and plopped herself down into the chair.
"Ain't no choice in it, is there, Tensy?"
< I believe I could be of assistance ... >
Well, Tensy always HAD been better with the numbers. Sometimes a little too good. "Sure, why not poindexter."
< Excellent. Begin two rows down on the left. Also, what is a poindexter? > Status Round: 1 Pieces Taken: 5 Total Points: 5

At least this time she was more focused on getting the correct pieces. The marker on her skin actually encouraged her to listen to Tenebrae, really focusing on her movements.

Attempt 5A few days later, Chel was once again assigned to the jenga game of death. She'd long since washed the marker off of her (although Chel still thought there was some hanging around her back, which she couldn't see).
Now she was ready to try anew. She was still hesitant, as any sane person would be, but she was at least in a better mood than last time.Status Round: 1 Pieces Taken: 5 Total Points: 5

Thus far, all was clear. She had a calm, focused mind and was ready to take on the enemy that was the jenga tower.
She had precision as she pulled out each piece, and the tower was actually coming apart quite nicely. Status Round: 2 Pieces Taken: 5 Total Points: 20

Attempt 7Suspicious, very suspicious. Clearly she'd happened upon something the life techs hadn't intended her to find.
She snuck into the room when she thought nobody was looking, and began play messing with the bottom of the table. They were rigging it! She knew they were!
Unfortunately, her fiddling bumped the table and caused the jenga tower to fall over naturally. Seeing as the dart guns were still set up, she was knocked out instantly.Status Round: 1 Pieces Taken: 3 Total Points: 3
