Snakes & Foxes 3: The ****oo's Nest (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Niklas
- Start date
Morning, Day 10
The silence was complete when the Assassin took the stage first, mostly because no-one in the audience noticed him. With a flick of his cape, he stood there in the arena sand. The Ranger then took the stage, his trusted mount at his side. There was something different about the horse this second time around, but nobody could really make out what it was before reality started to change...
The combattants found themselves under the moon and stars, in a dark street with towering, threatening buildings and many small alleys. As the Ranger mounted his loyal horse, the Assassin melted into the shadows and disappeared. The Ranger sat for a moment in silence before he made a simple hand gesture towards what looked like a random doorway. The Assassin sprung forth just as giant vines sprung from the ground to catch him.
The result was a disappointment to them both; the Assassin was caught and held mid-air, but the slash of his dagger intended for the throat of the Ranger made a nasty-looking wound in his leg instead. The Ranger quickly rode to gain some distance while the Assassin struggled against the vines, finally freeing himself. He turned towards the Ranger.
Now everyone noticed what had changed about the horse. Its very nature. With a grunt, it grew a long, black horn from its forehead, and fire sprouted from its mane and hooves. Its skin was as black as night. The Ranger smiled as he dismounted and sent the Nightmare towards the Assassin, horn first, while finding his bow.
The Assassin narrowly avoided the charge of the demonlike animal, only to be caught by the tip of an arrow in his shoulder. He spit on the ground and disappeared out of sight.
For a moment, the audience wondered if nothing more would happen as the Nightmare returned to its owner, but then they noticed the sickening green colour of the wound on the Ranger's leg. He grunted in pain as he mounted his horse once more.
The Assassin stepped out of the shadows right in front of him, apparently quite suicidal. Just as the Ranger sent an arrow towards him, everyone noticed something new about the Assassin as well: namely the aura of pure evil surrounding him. The arrow smoldered mid-air, and the Nightmare, a being of hell, lowered its head to recognize the presence of a brother in spirit. The Ranger gaped at the situation, his muscles and reflexes weakened by the poison. He hesitantly found another arrow, but the aura around the Assassin instantly grew to reach his opponent. The wails of the (arguably few) weak-hearted persons among the audience were heard as the demonic flames burnt the Ranger's skin from his bones, leaving a scorched skeleton and a masterless demonic horse, which later took quite the number of arena officials to take care of.
Spoiler :
The Assassin halted off towards the medical staff of the arena, after having his share of the Ranger's gold, of course. The pompeous official took the stage, holding his nose at the stench of burnt flesh.

"Disappointing. My ally should not have been so foolish as to trust his life to the capricious dark powers. In any case, let's see the inactive Frost Speaker fight. I'm not sure who to send him up against yet."

Oh? Got something against my team do you? Guess who else does? The mark, that's who. In case you hadn't noticed, my team is pretty much screwed by them regardless. We've bee n the main attraction every night since like day 5 or something. Mark my words, the shaman will be fighting come tomorrow evening so why waste a fight on him now?
I notice that your team hasn't had a mark discovered there either...

"Phoenix Rising has been a constant target of the Mark. I don't think it's likely that there's a Mark there. Let's put the Frost Speaker against the Paladin, since he's so eager to fight."

Your team has had no mark on it either, Pirate Renata. Quite clearly, the Mark dislikes my team - you only have to look at my two teammates dead in two consecutive Mark fights, and the next one fighting today, one of whom I was forced to kill myself.
Neither has the team of the Brujah

Wow. Accusations are flying back and forth :S
Maybe it's because they're on the same team, silly man.
