Dissentions V2.0 Game Thread

The Sacred Fist comes out before the others in his new flamboyant pink robes, having put away his weapons and washed off the Void Walker's blood.

So it seems that the divine is still with me.... My doubts have been assuaged. Perhaps the True Believer has powers that I know not of, but my faith is true. It must be true.

I am the chosen one! I AM special!

Indeed the True Believer's faith will see its next trial shortly, and perhaps that will shed further light on the mystery of his beliefs. All I can say is that my faith in the divine has been totally restored.

Having persuaded himself of the authenticity of religion, the Sacred Fist proceeds to talk about other matters. This is all done in a strange calm mood, something rare for our favorite zealot.

As for the fight today, I think The Ameboid should fight The Drunken Brawler. Both have been coasting along, and it would be slightly entertaining to watch them fight. Besides, enough good men have died already. Let those who do not wish to live fight for a change.
 
Enough good men have died already? Interesting that you say that, Sacred Fist, when you've killed two of them yourself. Though one of them had the indecency to reappear, zombie-like. I'm amused, I admit it.

The idea's not a bad one, though. Neither the Ameboid nor the Drunken Brawler has spoken a word since arriving, if my memory is correct. The Dirty Fighter has been as silent, though some might say that his Team has been targetted enough lately and deserves time to rest. (Me, I say keep prodding until the infection is lanced, but I don't expect anyone to agree with me.) There's also our dear Horseman, who seems to be under the impression that he can leave this tournament before its conclusion. How naive.

I'd be happy with a vote for any of them. If we're not certain how best to remove the Imperium from our tournament, then at least let's assure that we're not removing anyone useful.

Unless someone has a better idea?
 
The Dreamer has curled up like a cat on her pillow. She stops humming 'Battle Without Honor Or Humanity' long enough to vote.

Arcane Adept, I don't appreciate being silenced. It was you, and if it wasn't you then it was someone trying to protect you, and either way I'd rather you graciously stopped living, please. Even if you 'don't like being murdered', as you said. (Why'd you sign up for a Death Combat competition if you're so afraid of being hurt?)

And Blood Brother: seems like your deception has worked... a fellow manipulator of space and time has fallen in your place. I'm sure he has merely returned to the void. But I can think of no better opponent for good old sirtommygunn, this time, than your 'good' self.

The Illithid unusually appears to have control over the madness that plagues his mind. He is crouched on his favourite bench, fully cloaked to protect his sensitive skin from the hot sun. He holds a squashy pink item in his hands which he refers to as his ''fruit'' and sucks on every so often.

'' 'SsssSssss.... (slurp slurp) 'SssssSss (slurp) Illithid 'SssssSays make the Ameboid fight'SssSss the the Drunken Brawler..''
 
Actually, you are wrong. The Drunken Brawler has talked, but only once. However, the Amoebid has been silent.

I also agree with the Dreamer, there is something afoul with the Arcane Adept. He is right, no one would sign up for this competition if they were afraid of death.

Hence, I vote Amoebid vs. Arcane Adept.
 
These wild accusations are being thrown around all over the place. I care not who fights as I may not be around to see it. Though, if I am not, I will still return.

I sure did not think Lightfang to be innocent. This changes my views entirely.

The True Believer walks away to find a quiet spot for contemplation.
 
Hmmph. Well, I see we've reached the stage of the competition when any accusation at all, reasoned or otherwise, is a 'wild accusation'. Very well. I look forward to hearing from you again two minutes before the deadline, Nahkarma.

To dream of victory, of many listening for the sound of your voice as you describe your triumph... That is a good dream.

I will not abide that Dreams are shattered, or that a voice is forced to speak words not of ones choosing.

It seems someone manipulated our Dreamer. Therefore I shall follow her lead voting for the Arcane Adept to fight the Blood Brother.

I will also place 600 on Lady Luck, for what am I if not her most valiant supporter.
 
Well, what do you know? Two competitors do agree with me, and it's two of my teammates, even! Will wonders never cease. Sadly, it's not going to happen today.

I change my vote to support the Arcane Adept. I still want the Drunken Brawler to fight.
 
The old Lady appears unusually composed, inwardly preparing for the upcoming struggle.

Haha, I thank you young gentlemen for your gracious support - but it seems you won't be winning much, no one dares bet against Luck itself, hahaha! I would if I could, if only for the paradox that would be, hahahaHAhaha!

True Believer, I wish you no harm, we are both victims here. I pity you for being so unlucky in this fight though - relatively speaking, hahaha!
 
You won't win anything unless someone bets on the True Believer.

Speaking of which...

100 gold on the True Believer.
 
With a look of confusion, but an air of confidence and strength, the True Believer steps forward and says:

Though Luck may grant you a victory, I will not disappear. My soul will hover, restoring my body and waiting to return. A True Believer can not truely die. The power given to every individual is accessible after much training and contemplation. There is no divine power that affects us, that power only watches us. Worship will bring no extra reward. The gift we have been given already is much more than most of us deserve.
 
Napoleon once said: "I prefer a general who is lucky than a general who is good". So while I would like to bet on Lady Luck there are certain irreconcilable differences between us. You know what I'm talking about, "lady". Don't tell me you forgot about that "incident" last year.

So I will instead bet on the true believer. 50 gold on the True Believer, please.
