Once again, the bellow sounds.

This is a fight to the death, of course alliances will not stand. Any edge at the start of things, though.

"Alliances will stand so long as there is mutual benefit, and likely not a second longer. That still means we probably get a few minutes, at least. And surviving the first few minutes might make all the difference. Metal Man, can you aid Big Man and Greenie in scaring them off? Then me and cat can focus on fending off anyone who slips past you."

"Why should we believe we cannot merely outlast the others, whale-that-stands?" The metallic man turns to the whale man as he speaks.

"I'm not sure I take your meaning." the whale man replies. "Outlasting the others is pretty much the plan."

The hunter listened, warming his muscles, and observing everyone and everything. He wore an odd smile.

"The fact that you seek alliances belies a notion that outlasting them is something you believe is inevitable. That was the basis of my question."

Initiative:
1d20+6=7.

The kobold speaks, reciting calmly:
"Sweet infancy,
O heavenly fire, O sacred light!
How great am I,
Whom the whole world doth magnify."

"I am not inclined to let you have these items, metal man, whale, invisible. The dwarf looks to need a weapon, perhaps he and I will keep these from you."

TheAbyssDragon · « **Reply #27 on:** June 11, 2012, 01:58:13 PM »

A child of the wyrms would make a great ally, indeed. Who is to say that the riches are not ours?

"Yippy-voice and stout-voice, you will be displeased if you get in my way. It will be... bad for your health, I think. Ah, but wait, that is the point of all this. By all means, walk your little yippy-stout legs to the weapon-pile. I believe I have just discovered humor.

Heh.

Heh."

Quillwraith · « **Reply #29 on:** June 11, 2012, 05:34:31 PM »

'I am not concerned for my health. I have withstood more harm than I think you can inflict. And I am called Ajith, not ... "yippy voice" '

He speaks to the dwarf:
'A whale, a pedestal, a catgirl, a metalman, and a spider.
I list them in the order that I hope they will be killed.'

Ajith turns to the observant hunter:
'So, what is it that amuses you, hunter?'

The winged woman grinned and kept observing anyone who talked back and forth in silence as if she was waiting for something else to happen.

Flay Crimsonwind · « **Reply #31 on:** June 11, 2012, 06:44:28 PM »

"A hunter should feel amusement when given a hunt. I would guess we are all equally equally well suited, for all of our boasting."

jojolagger · « **Reply #32 on:** June 11, 2012, 07:26:17 PM »

You seem rather confidant in the dwarves abilities, Yippy voice, when you have never seen him fight. Lest you forget that your outnumbered, and that you have assigned about half the contestants to the Dwarf. Do you intend to fight the other half yourself? Or do you intend to flee as the Dwarf is struck down?

Oh, and metal man, while he believes us capable of outlasting them, he seeks to expedite their demise. Surely you wish to finish this as efficiently as possible, not grant the more gear dependent than us better odds than otherwise?

"Well, obviously the alliance will break down at some point, perhaps nastily. Even so, it seems advantageous, if only in the short term." The humanoid cetacean spares a glance for the kobold, "Your ire is understandable little one. Perhaps the dwarf will fulfill your idle hopes and engage me on your behalf. But I'm thinking the he may be better off taking the first opportunity to leave. Our friend here may be an exception, but dwarves are not known for their running speed. Escape later is unlikely to be an option."

The small, jackel-headed creature speaks in a gravelly voice that sounds much too deep to come from such a small body. "The whale-man chooses as allies those whom he thinks will fall easily to him later. He thinks to first use them to defeat the strong, so he can assure that he will be the last. Do not be a weak-minded fool, swayed by him. Kill him now, before he gains power from the treasure heap.

In fact, we should all make a pact to kill anyone who tries to pick up an item from the pile. Otherwise, those who are able to equip themselves will become too strong to be defeated later.

Only one will survive, rest assured. There is no escape. The being who has pulled us here is none other that the God of Secrets, Vecna himself!"

jojolagger · « **Reply #36 on:** June 11, 2012, 09:32:56 PM »

If whale-man chose us because we are weaker, then I believe he has underestimated several of his allies. Stick to the plan, and don't let those who would divide us succeed.

Shiki · « **Reply #37 on:** June 11, 2012, 10:42:53 PM »

"This sharp jackal-headed being did not say that this whale-man chose you people to be cannon fodders.. hum, I mean, 'allies', because you were weaklings, he said that whale-man perceived you as weaker than him so he could use this to his advantage in the near future. But... that might not be the case. I mean, who knows what everyone is capable of in this room?" said the winged woman with her soft voice.

Flay Crimsonwind · « **Reply #38 on:** June 12, 2012, 05:02:36 AM »

First out of the gate, the hunter breaks into a full sprint towards the pile, his hands swiping at items as he passes them.

((W, how far back does the AMF go?))

When the antimagic arrives, the mask of faces, cloak, and clawed feet vanish. The man moves backwards off the pedestal until they return, then dives into the ground and disappears.
