SRK Arena Hunger Games 2: Pirates Arena Day 14: The Chief is our Champion!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m currently scavenging the studed armor.

If it makes you feel any better, I’m not allied with anyone either basically. I know what phase 3 holds, but no one cares lol

Well, they kinda care, they just want things for free…

…niggas.

*I’m willing to help you/ally with you Hecatom. There’s a few other people I would be delighted to team up with but I think the feeling wouldn’t be reciprocated.

@Blindknagg‌
@‌MIssing Person
@"The Chief"‌

I wouldn’t mind trying to ally with @Aidebit @GodotsRevenge @Pietastic either, but I don’t think they would join me.

any of you fine gentlemen care to ally yourselves with me and potentially Hecatom?

@RadicalFuzz‌

Since I like you, and since you spared me your wrath night 1 i’ll tell you this: The writeup did somewhat hint at my ability. I can tell you what my entire ability is, but there are a few conditions I’d like you to agree to first. *

@Darkgeneral I might be up for an alliance depending on how this day ends.

For those who care…

Contested Items:
Studded Armor. **ForgeDigger **wins over Blindknagg, Aidebit

As the ships loomed on the horizon, The Chief noticed everyone momentarily distracted. Darting out from his cover, he snatched up a large Halberd from the weapons pile, gripping the shaft tightly, and again running for cover. He would be ready to use it if need be, but he didn’t want to make himself a target.

**Pietastic **looked down at the corpse of JasonC, and noticed a Cutlass lying near the body. He picked it up in his hand, and nodded to himself; the weight felt just right. He walked off, looking for another person to kill.

Missing Person, caressing his Flintlock, decided it would be best to hide. He disappeared into the jungle, deep into the darkness, where he knew nobody would be able to find him.

**Hecatom **stood on the beach, staring at the Pirate Ship on the horizon. He was so amazed by this – having never seen a normal boat, let alone a giant pirate ship before - that he stood in awe. He shook himself out of it, however, and found himself a nice buckler to strap on to his arm. This should help protect him… now to find something pointy he could kill somebody with!

RadicalFuzz, armed with his chainsaw sword and platemail, was feeling particularly vunerable about the situation. He readied himself for any attack, ready to deflect it at a moments notice; none came, however. I guess the chainsaw was too big of a deterrent.

**Aidebit **approached the items carefully, but luckily didn’t see anybody. He smiled to himself, and reached out to grab the Studded Armor sitting there tantalizing him… just then, his hand was smacked away by a staff.

“Ouch!” said Aidebit, turning to see **ForgeDigger **standing there.

“That’s my armor” said ForgeDigger. As she reached for it, she too was stopped by a giant anchor knocking her aside.

“No,” said BlindKnagg, “That’s my armor.”

The three squared off against eachother, and then in an instant they were all fighting. **ForgeDigger **used the staff to catch **Aidebit **across the jaw, but then she caught an anchor to the face, knocking a tooth loose. She spit it out, then turned and swung the staff full force knocking **Blindknagg **down, the wind knocked out of him. She strode forward, grabbed the Studded Armor, and slipped it on.

And not a moment too soon.

At her feet landed a grenade, and exploded, sending shrapnel into her. She was knocked backwards, out cold on the floor.

From the nearby bushes, **GodotsRevenge **walked out, having thrown the grenade.

“I’ll take that” said GodotsRevenge, reaching down for her staff. He grabbed it in his hand, and lifted it upwards. But it didn’t budge.

**ForgeDiggers **eyes opened, and **GodotsRevenge **realized she wasn’t dead. He received a kick to his face, sending him reeling backwards.

**ForgeDigger **jumped up, battle stance ready.

Before she could attack GodotsRevenge, she heard a twang, and saw him knocked backwards onto the ground.

From the jungle nearby, **AlphaCommando **stepped out, crossbow in hand. He walked over to the knocked down GodotsRevenge, fitting another bolt, and shot it into his head, killing the man.

**AlphaCommando **looked over, and gave **ForgeDigger **a nod. **Aidebit **and Blindknagg, having lost their shot at the armor, disappeared in opposite directions.

**ForgeDigger **looked back, and gave **AlphaCommando **a smile.

That moment was cut short as a loud BOOM echoed throughout the arena.

A cannon had been fired from the ship, and launched across the arena, directly at DarkGeneral.

**DarkGeneral **looked up, smiling, and took cover behind his large shield. The cannon ball slammed into his shield, sending splinters everywhere; but it held, and he survived. He smiled to himself. If a cannon ball couldn’t stop him, what chance did anybody else have?

Another boom echoed, and **DarkGeneral **looked up to see if it was perhaps another cannon ball; but no, it was signaling the death of a comrade.

Looking up in the sky, the information on **GodotsRevenge **was projected for all to see:

And then, another rumble. But this time, it wasn’t a cannon, or a signal… the island was sinking.

“Get to high ground!” yelled ForgeDigger, as everyone scrambled for the highest point of the island.

**RadicalFuzz **looked over, and saw the pile of items sink under the water, none of them reachable anymore.

Minutes later, the entire island was under water. Everyone was struggling to stay afloat; those with heavy armor were having a particularly hard time.

“They’re drowning us!” screamed Hecatom, who couldn’t swim, and was starting to go under.

Just then, 3 large splashes happened, as 3 pirate ships Surfaced. Everyone swam to their nearest ship, gasping for air having been so close to death.

Each of them stood on their ship, looking across at the others. They couldn’t reach those on the other ships, not without a ranged weapon. And slowly, they realized what this meant.

They each looked at each other, standing on the deck of the ship… no more items to grab, only death awaited them.

Actions for day 3 due Thursday, March 6th by 12:00 PST (noon)

*Here are the conditions I had in mind;

Me, and my allies seek a temporary truce.

1: Promise to not attack me or my allies for 3 night’s.
2: After each night that me and my allies survive I’ll tell you about 1 part of my ability. Aidebit can confirm if i’m being dishonest or not.
3: Me and my allies will give you priority on scavenges on either night 2 or 3 after you’ve upheld your end of the bargain night 1 while we’re on these ships.

I had another condition in mind but. Well, I’ll hold off on that one. *

I may not have managed to grab the armor but at least I knocked that tooth out.

You’re welcome Forge :tup:

How exactly is Missing Person hiding in the jungle on a ship? Does the hazard negate the Stealth action? Regardless, that’s 5 or 6 attack so he can pop someone if he is willing to go back to square 1, equipment-wise.

More importantly though, hey Chief, you were saying how nobody was interested in your information? Now that we have back to back hazards I’ve become quite intrigued. Obviously I can only “kill you once” but to be frank I don’t have much else I can do at the moment due to the lack of targets. If I’m reading it correctly you would kill me (4 + 1 > 4) if we attack each other, and I’d pop your Medicine (4 > 0). While I can’t directly attack you, I do know someone who can.

@AlphaCommando‌ you like things right? I can get you things. If you shoot Chief with your Crossbow to use his Medicine I’ll get you a Scavenge of your choice. Downside is I can’t Scavenge or Attack that same turn, but I’m willing to do that for my good buddy Alpha. After all, you helped Forge out already so that’s a plus in my book.

Could you clarify exactly who falls under “your allies” for me before we go any further?

@Aidebit what’s Hecatom’s ability? Or, if you’d rather not say that, would him becoming a tank be a problem? Cause that’s basically what he’s doing at the moment.

*Oh, and of course: We will not attack you or your allies during our truce. As it appears we both anticipated the other person attacking so we both defended. Surely two like minded individuals such as ourselves can work something out.

@Blindknagg‌
Chief Negrodamus

How do you feel about joining me and Hecatom? *

Well, this is awkward.

I have no problem in forming an alliance :tup:

If Chief does join you I’ll rescind my request for a bolt through his face, obviously.

I see what you’re doing with this DarkGeneral. You’re an underhanded, despicable, sly bastard. I like it!

I feel like that’s the entire reason you went for the Anchor, so you could use gifs of May.

*Before we go on any further. Who would fall under your allies? There is 1 more person, possibly 2 more people I’d like to recruit into my fold but I don’t want to be too greedy.

Chief’s ability is beneficial to everyone. As long as he’s truthful and willing to play ball. However if he’s not willing to play ball… *

Why do you wish harm upon me Fuzz?

Anyway, it would be rude to ignore a fellow shipmates opinion before making our own. Let’s see what AC thinks first shall we? I never once considered the possibility of taking you out singlehandedly.

Yeah that was one of my reasons.

@DarkGeneral I’m on for now :tup:

Forge & Alpha. I believe that lines up with your hopes perfectly.

Because there’s nothing else to really do. I can’t attack MP because he’s wearing camo jeans on a pirate ship, I can’t scavenge for anything fun. It’s literally just:

-Attack you
-Defend
-Stealth (is this even possible?)

You’re right about waiting to see what Alpha’s opinion on the matter is. I believe it’s about 5 AM Thursday over there so we should get some feedback relatively soon.

Well, looks like MP and I are going to have a lot of power during this phase. @Aidebit, which two people have the most threatening abilities?

The fuck you receiving thanks for, nigga? You defended yourself last phase.

Problem with that plan is that the only item I’m interested in is that shiny armour you’ve got on. Are you willing to sacrifice your only defence for the kill of your choice?

I still consider myself a lone wolf, but if people are going to give me shiny things or work the shaft, I might be willing to scratch their backs.
