Life Hunter
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.

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.)

  • Round 1

    Pieces: 5
    Points per piece: 1
    Trainee Roll: 1d10

    Life Trainee 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.

It occurred to Evan that he hadn't seen hide nor hair of Stormy's little friend lately, though he rarely checked Twitter anymore, so. He figured he should make sure the tenacious little s**t was still alive--for Stormy's sake, of course. She had faced enough loss.

Leslie had half a mind not to show up, but he did need to get certified for bandages one way or another, anyway. To be petty, he didn't bother to text a reply, and instead showed up a few minutes later with his trademark scowl: the one that looked as though he'd just tried to eat three lemons in one go.

The first few pieces were always the easiest to pick out, which was good, because his big fingers were hardly suited for such dexterous work.

Evan decided to be nice and didn't draw dicks on Leslie's face when he passed out. Instead, he wrote "FREE HUGS" in big block letters on his forehead.

Leslie woke up to find that Evan was now passed out, and after taking his own dice, opted to draw a unibrow on the other man's face.

Leslie woke up with a start, grunting and rubbing his face, smearing the sharpie unknowingly.

"Jesus," he muttered, bitter at the failures.
