Attention: The next run of the Droughtman's Challenge Tournament is about to begin! Please make your way to the black marble arches located in each town if you would like to attend! (I make my way along the maze paathway and to the Clearing) [Pathway, The Clearing] A large black marble edifice stands in the clearing, nestled snuggly at the base of the nearby mountains. Veins of silver and gold intertwine uninterrupted along the stonework, and closer inspection reveals nary a visible seam anywhere along the outer wall. At first glance the building would appear to be formed from a single, solid piece of rock. Set into the smooth marble wall is a platinum-banded ironwood door. Also here: Kizun, Lord Ondreian, Wendey, Nuadjha, Drakuya, Hoy, Cylnthia, Aiza, Sir Aydan, Quallander, Aubriella, Balinworn, GameMaster Vanah, Quyorque, Sirina, Wyrom, GameMaster Jainna Aubriella points at you! Aubriella says, "There's always the Bremerial ale fund." You say, "Hehe - am assuming this is the queue to beat on the next crop of contestants." Roblar deeply asks, "In time?" You chuckle at Aubriella. Roblar deeply asks, "Who needs blockers?" Roblar heavily pounds one of his fists into the other, producing a loud clap. Aubriella begins chuckling at Roblar! Roblar chuckles to himself. You say, "Am gonna be a spectator only." Aiza says, "Ugh, I need GM powers." Vanah just arrived. Aiza ponders. Speaking deeply to you, Roblar says, "Oh, don't want ta miss dis." Aubriella asks, "Who's going to make me rich?" Aubriella removes a Borthuum Mining Company scrip from in her silver survival kit. Aubriella waves a Borthuum Mining Company scrip around. Wyrom taps himself on the chest. Sirina grins. You say, "Last heckling session for me alas." You say, "The final round is on too late for me." Roblar glances over at you and winces. Aubriella gives a short little hum of surprise. Wyrom exclaims, "I guess I should head in and get ready!" Nuadjha says, "Good luck, all." Nuadjha chuckles. Wyrom renders a sharp hand salute. Nuadjha exclaims, "We'll be watching!" Sirina waves. Aubriella lets out a cheer! You ask, "Naked GM - wonder which end of the spyglass we are going to have to look through?" Sirina grins at you. Jyax laughs at you! Aubriella giggles at you. A shaft of scintillating light suddenly jumps out of the sky and strikes the ground next to you. The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Kveta is standing in its place. Kveta rubs her clothes. You say, "Gonna get my normal seat." (I make my way to the Peridot Room and take a seat) You hear Lithyia call out from a nearby observation box, "May scarabs eat your insides!" You hear Cylnthia call out from a nearby observation box, "Need moar runners!" s>watch random You start randomly watching contestants, turning your attention to Wyrom. You take a look at Wyrom's surroundings and see... [Droughtman's Maze, Entrance Box] The room appears to be devoid of light, sound, or even the essence of existence itself. Dark voids and constantly moving shadows combine with the crunch of fine gravel under foot. A steady wind pushes back at all who pass, as though warning would-be contestants that they may wish to pray to their favored patron before venturing further. A black marble building lies in the center of this nothingness, with a single doorway offering the only possible way to more inviting surroundings. You also see a scoring display, an armor stand with some stuff on it, a weapons rack with some stuff on it and a LARGE sign that you feel you really must read. Also here: Maze Master Droughtman, GameMaster Vanah, Wyrom, Quyorque, Jainna Obvious exits: none Quyorque says, "I did /gm before /access 1." Vanah says, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME." Sirina just arrived. Vanah says, "I did both too." Sirina exclaims, "Woo!" Droughtman says, "Interesting." Quyorque shrugs at Vanah. Vanah says, "Don't talk about that here though BECAUSE WE ARE BEING WATCHED." Annorax yells, "You're right, Vanah!" You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "I'd suggest betting on me." Droughtman asks, "Can they watch us in here?" Sirina nods. Quyorque says, "Gah, I forgot they could watch us." Vanah says, "Yes." Annorax yells, "Yes, Droughtman!" You hear Seomanthe call out from a nearby observation box, "Yes!" Droughtman stares off into space. Wyrom works his way into some steel full plate. Jainna nods. Sirina chuckles. Quyorque grumbles. You belt out, "Wyrom - are you doing room order or spinning?" Droughtman laughs! Sirina puts a heavy backpack on her back. Droughtman says, "Oops." You hear Greganth call out from a nearby observation box, "I am watching!" You hear Quinion call out from a nearby observation box, "We can Heeeeear you!" You hear Wyrom call out from the entrance box, "Room order, that's my M.O." You hear Siwas call out from a nearby observation box, "I want to watch Tamuz die, not kill people!" You hear Droughtman call out from the entrance box, "He's going to do fumble around, yell alot, and play drunk." Jainna says, "The super secret way to win Elanthia iiiisss..." Quyorque asks, "Meh, who designed this?" Jainna coughs. Quyorque stares off into space. You belt out, "Haha!" Aiza just arrived. Aiza points at Vanah. You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "What do you mean "play drunk"?" Aiza says, "You still touch the Force." You belt out, "No cheating - altering the maze to fashion a door is not permitted!" You hear Balinworn call out from a nearby observation box, "Ya all git ready. The race will begin... RSN." Aiza chuckles. A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you. The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Kveta is standing in its place. Wyrom exclaims, "Why is there no main gauche, arrrrrggggh!" Droughtman stares at Kveta. Aiza says, "Lessee." You hear Senglent call out from a nearby observation box, "Where's the Itzzy bitzy Itzie!" Aiza asks, "What am I equipped for?" Kveta asks, "Do I have to go through a door somewhere?" Droughtman says, "Done." Aiza puts a heavy backpack on her back. You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "I'm not sure who to root for! So, equal deaths for all!" Droughtman says, "Yes." Aiza exclaims, "I have round time!" Aiza says, "Noooo." Aiza says, "OH wait," Sirina grins at Aiza. Kveta mumbles something under her breath. Aiza says, "I can wear hauberk." Aiza says, "I trained for it." You hear Greganth call out from a nearby observation box, "I want to see the Kenitzie baby run!" Kveta gestures and a shaft of scintillating light from somewhere above pierces the ceiling and engulfs her. When the light recedes Kveta is no longer there. Aiza works her way out of some steel brigandine armor. Wyrom removes a silvered glacial crystal wand from in his heavy backpack. Aiza put some steel brigandine armor on an armor stand. Sirina says, "Droughtman has to set you up to block." Vanah just left Vanah just arrived. You hear Droughtman call out from the entrance box, "Keep dreaming." Jainna yawns. Aiza works her way into a steel chain hauberk. You hear Karibeth call out from a nearby observation box, "No!!!! Not that!!!" Aiza says, "Tada." Droughtman stares at Vanah. You hear Balinworn call out from a nearby observation box, "If you have any technical questions about how the Challenge is run you'll need to assist and ask for a referral." Vanah exclaims, "My internet dropped me!" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "It doesn't run; it lumbers!" Jainna begins chuckling at Vanah! Droughtman says, "Okay.. off to find the second blocker." Aiza says, "Small group tonight." Sirina drops some double leather. Sirina works her way into some steel brigandine armor. Aiza strikes a heroic pose. Vanah asks, "Do I still have the title?" You belt out, "Sirina, are you safe to be in there with that rabble?" Wyrom says, "No." Jainna says, "I feel so blind." Droughtman says, "Nuh uh." Vanah exclaims, "Hooray!" Aiza says, "I know." Kveta says, "Okay, I'm back." You hear Sirina call out from the entrance box, "I think they're plotting a mutiny!" You hear Greganth call out from a nearby observation box, "If Kenstrom is running I will block!" You hear Karibeth call out from a nearby observation box, "Course she's not!" Kveta asks, "Hmm?" Annorax yells, "Hope you all still remember how to move like mortals!" Aiza says, "Kveta's being a blocker.. so I don't know how that works." Droughtman exclaims, "Kveta, why are you in here? Get out!" Sirina grins. Aiza waves to Kveta. Kveta exclaims, "I don't know where I'm supposed to be!" Kveta snorts! Droughtman exclaims, "Out, out, out!" Droughtman exclaims, "This doesn't need QC, just leave!" Droughtman winks at Kveta. Aiza snorts! Kveta says, "If someone would make ROOMS with OUTS." Sirina snickers. Kveta says, "It would be EASIER." Droughtman chuckles. Aiza exclaims, "Use your GM powers!" Jainna laughs! Aiza stares off into space. Kveta chuckles. Droughtman says, "Follow m e." Kveta asks, "Where do you want me?" Droughtman just left. Aiza asks, "Don't we still need another blocker?" Kveta gestures and a shaft of scintillating light from somewhere above pierces the ceiling and engulfs her. When the light recedes Kveta is no longer there. You belt out, "Droughtman, this is your last chance to marry me ye know!" Sirina gazes thoughtfully at a weapons rack. Aiza rubs her crystal amulet. Aiza gets an odd look on her face. Aiza says, "Hrm." Aiza says, "Pills." You hear Greganth call out from a nearby observation box, "Dont forget to lick your wands for luck!" Sirina grins. Sirina removes a silvered glacial crystal wand from in her heavy backpack. Vanah snorts! You belt out, "Aize, the pills are to be taken twice a day with ale!" s>l dis Name Silver Won Times Killed --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jainna 0 0 Quyorque 0 0 Wyrom 0 0 Vanah 0 0 Sirina 0 0 Aiza 0 0 You hear Seomanthe call out from a nearby observation box, "I can't believe Kenstrom wussed out!"

Aiza says, "Where's Kveta to QC the typos in peoples words." Aiza paces back and forth. You hear Cylnthia call out from a nearby observation box, "Yousa allsa gonna diesa!" Sirina says, "I am naked without gm powers." Aiza nods. You hear Balinworn call out from a nearby observation box, "If one of the runners had the right skills and zero morals, they should change the wands to freeze everyone BUT them upon activation...." Sirina bursts into tears! Aiza says, "It's been so long." Jainna agrees with Sirina. You belt out, "If you die will just be a Quyorque of fate!" Aiza stares off into space. Droughtman says, "Still missing someone." You hear Aubriella call out from a nearby observation box, "Brem that's awful!" Aiza begins to flirt with Droughtman.

You hear Senglent call out from a nearby observation box, "We do if we are watching someone in the room with you AIze, so get a going!" Aiza says, "Balinworn's watching me." You belt out, "Jainna, does ye mama know you're out this late?" Sirina asks, "WHO ARE OUR BLOCKERS?" Aiza snorts! You hear Galenok call out from a nearby observation box, "Those blockers couldn't block a wall." You hear Jainna call out from the entrance box, "No! And don't tell!" Droughtman says, "I'm trying to decide who the bigger whiners are here...." You hear Syradis call out from a nearby observation box, "I think Drangell should be a blocker!" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "I hope you all have a 0.03 second script ready to wand them!" You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "Heckle the blockers at your own risk." Droughtman says, "Your blockers are Tamuz and Kveta." Aiza whistles a complicated ditty, impressing you with her virtuosity. Aiza says, "Heeeeeeeeeee." Droughtman nods at Sirina. You hear Siwas call out from a nearby observation box, "Can we go fill Kveta's office with random punctuation while she's busy in there?" You hear Senglent call out from a nearby observation box, "It'd be funner if those two ran and others blocked!" You belt out, "Vanah, i'm betting all my money on you... to be the first to die. Don't disappoint me!" You hear Balinworn call out from a nearby observation box, "Plus, the third blocker wasn't QC'd yet." The voice of an announcer echoes, "If you are interested in being an Epic blocker for this totally strange run of Droughtman's then please move to the room east of the Opal Lounge. I will be spinning for ONE blocker." Vanah yells, "I will do my best!" You hear Vanah call out from the entrance box, "I will do my best!" Sirina says, "I'm sure I have a serial comma here somewhere." You hear Greganth call out from a nearby observation box, "I vote for dayko to block!" Aiza asks, "An epic blocker, huh?" You hear Galenok call out from a nearby observation box, "This is how they should release Monks! Pull them out of the treasure pile damn it." You hear Cylnthia call out from a nearby observation box, "Is there a prize involved?!?!" You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "NOOOO, I'm blocker enough for 2. I don't want stinky players in here!" You hear Zenaxa call out from a nearby observation box, "I nominate Brem!" You hear Syradis call out from a nearby observation box, "Dayko can't block, he's a GM!" Sirina says, "Oh darn, it's in my pants. And I don't have them." Aiza says, "I know who's an epic blocker..." Aiza snickers. Wyrom yells, "Make sure you pick a noob!" You hear Wyrom call out from the entrance box, "Make sure you pick a noob!" You hear Galenok call out from a nearby observation box, "Where is Rogane, he's a GM?" Aiza stares off into space. You hear Vanah call out from the entrance box, "It better not be a sorcerer!" Wyrom chuckles. Aiza says, "Srsly." You hear Syradis call out from a nearby observation box, "Rogane is Dayko, silly!" You hear Vanah call out from the entrance box, "Or an empath!" You hear Vanah call out from the entrance box, "Or a wizard!" You hear Quyorque call out from the entrance box, "We're all just scripting it anyway, no need to do anything!" Quyorque whistles tunelessly to himself. Aiza exclaims, "Healbot!" Aiza says, "I want a healbot as our blocker." You belt out, "Haha - i'd be a soft touch to block. They'd bribe me with ale!" Jainna says, "How about a level 3 bard... that would be a good blocker..." Aiza asks, "Can we spell up now?" You hear Sirina call out from the entrance box, "We'll be starting REAL SOON NOW!" You hear Quyorque call out from the entrance box, "If you kill Vanah and loot her, she always drops ale!" Vanah exclaims, "There is no defense from the wands~!" You hear Lithyia call out from a nearby observation box, "I am Spartacus!" Vanah cowers. You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "3 blockers for 6 runners would be harsh! Leave it at 2 blockers!" Aiza asks, "With our super lame level 10 spells?" You hear Siwas call out from a nearby observation box, "Where's the other four runners?" You hear Galenok call out from a nearby observation box, "Go Sirina!" Aiza ponders. Sirina says, "Yes." ***{The Runners begin to spell themselves up}*** You hear Inurtia call out from a nearby observation box, "No, I am spartacus!" Sirina says, "Umm, I have ranger spells, but I'm a rogue." Quyorque gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid... Quyorque gestures. The air thickens and begins to swirl around Quyorque. Sirina says, "Well, whatever works." Aiza says, "You have GM spells." Speaking to Sirina, Quyorque asks, "Welcome to gm cheats?" Sirina looks over at Aiza and shakes her head. Aiza says, "I only know bardly things." Vanah says, "Ignore my warrior with armored evasion up." Aiza says, "I have redux." Droughtman says, "We'll be starting in a moment." Droughtman says, "Please take a moment to read the signs." Vanah adjusts Quyorque's cloth robes, improving its comfort and maneuverability. Wyrom gets a blank look on his face. Jainna giggles at Droughtman. Aiza says, "Yes master killerdoodguy." Droughtman says, "Also not that once the event begins you will find one exit from the room." Quyorque smirks. Droughtman says, "I urge you all to take that exit as fast as possible, pull as many ropes as possible, and to definitely fall alot." You belt out, "100000 silvers from my Kharam-Dzu account for the first GM to change Droughtman into a frog when ye get outta here!" You hear Wyrom call out from the entrance box, ":(!" Aiza rubs Wyrom. Sirina glances at the maze doorway. You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "Sad zombie is sad." Aiza stares off into space. You hear Tamuz call out from the blockers' lounge, "GMs stink, didn't you know?" Aiza asks, "We're all winners, right?" Aiza snickers. You hear Droughtman call out from the entrance box, "Bremerial is just jealous cause I have better legs." Jainna hangs her head. Wyrom says, "I want an ebow." Sirina says, "Odds with 6 runners are low. It goes up with each additional runner." You hear Senglent call out from a nearby observation box, "Tamuz, Kveta, and Pereus are blockers put it in your scripts!" Aiza asks, "Pereus, eh?" Sirina says, "I want a dead cat." You hear Lithyia call out from a nearby observation box, "Droughtman shaves his legs!" You belt out, "Haha yeah - frogs legs!" Jainna agrees with Sirina. You hear Cylnthia call out from a nearby observation box, "I want 7x fusion metal breastplate!" Jainna squeals. Sirina says, "I WANT A BROADSWORD." Jainna laughs! The maze doorway suddenly flies open! THE RUNNERS FLY THROUGH THE MAZE DOORWAY. You hear Chivalrous call out from a nearby observation box, "If Vanah wins then Monks get released!" Kethore yells, "Kveta, Tsoran made a map of this before he left. Go get it!" You hear Senglent call out from a nearby observation box, "I want Sirinia to give me tha mual back!" Annorax yells, "Run, Forest!" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "Pull those ropes!" You hear Droughtman call out from the entrance box, "Vanah was out the door first, but Quyorque was last....." You hear Mestys call out from a nearby observation box, "I suppose spawning extra scarabs would be frowned upon." You hear Chivalrous call out from a nearby observation box, "Why aren't you running Mestys?" Kethore yells, "Down with Sirina!" You hear Cylnthia call out from a nearby observation box, "GOGOGOGOGOGO!" You hear Siwas call out from a nearby observation box, "Come on, Kveta! Start killing people!"

The voice of an announcer echoes, "And so the first ever GameMaster's Run of Droughtman's maze has begun!" You hear Kveta call out from the arena, "Where the hell is everyone?" You hear Galenok call out from a nearby observation box, "Why is Sirina unmolested so far?" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "This is harder than it looks, isn't it?" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "Where are the ropes??" You hear Aubriella call out from a nearby observation box, "Go everyone, run!" You hear Chivalrous call out from a nearby observation box, "Wyrom, pull the other rope!" You belt out, "Me Blocker..You Jainna!" You hear Nuadjha call out from a nearby observation box, "I expect the GM cheating to commence ... now!" You hear Balinworn call out from a nearby observation box, "I feel oddly... giggly... for some reason watch them scurry all around like rats." The voice of an announcer echoes, "So far the run has been very uneventful! No coins, no deaths, no murder." The voice of an announcer echoes, "Pereus has just frozen Quyorque solid! Oh, the cold grip of reality!" You hear Lithyia call out from a nearby observation box, "Unleash the hounds!" You hear Siwas call out from a nearby observation box, "Pereus! Don't freeze them, kill them!" Wyrom pulls a dangling length of rope and you hear a loud *CLICK*. The rope then suddenly disappears from view! Suddenly, razor sharp shards flying at very high speeds appear! Wyrom screams in agony as razor-sharp shards fly into his body! ... 35 points of damage! Strike to right arm cleanly severs it at the shoulder! He is knocked to the ground! He is stunned! The voice of an announcer echoes, "Challenger Wyrom just pulled a rope and triggered an explosion of razor-sharp shards! DUCK!" The voice of an announcer echoes, "Challenger Jainna just pulled a rope and triggered an death-inducing wave of power. Lucky for her. Bad for someone else."

Pereus waves a silvered glacial crystal wand at Quyorque. The wand flashes brightly and hurls a crackling bolt of blue energy at Quyorque, causing him to immediately freeze in his tracks. The voice of an announcer echoes, "As usual, our blockers are growing confused as to who is doing what. Pereus, do you need a diagram?" You hear Chivalrous call out from a nearby observation box, "The amount of runners is equal to the average population of Modus!" >l dis Name Silver Won Times Killed --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jainna 91177 0 Quyorque 108832 0 Wyrom 114630 1 Vanah 0 1 Sirina 35992 0 Aiza 503 0 You hear Chivalrous call out from a nearby observation box, "You can't pull another rope until you read Polixy 6!"
