MINGLE

[idolpro]

You're standing on a large, cobblestone plaza, overlooking miles of … interesting, not to mention varied, terrain — it's Pretty Damn Huge and could easily take a whole day to traverse. You can see a dank, overgrown swamp, wreathed with patches of fog; a leafy green woodland with flashes of colourful flowers; a jagged desert canyon shimmering in a heat haze; an icy miniature mountain range above which a snow storm is brewing; the rooftops of quaint houses. A river winds throughout, occasionally intersecting with the path you're supposed to follow. The path is winding, and even from here you can see that it's divided into "squares" with faintly glowing borders. The squares are sized to be proportional to the course, which is to say, they're also Big.

There's plenty of space to mingle up here, with benches to sit on and old, battered-looking vending machines you can kick if you want some soda or candy to snack on.

At the northern end of the plaza is a huge inflatable arch with the word "START" written in comic sans. Nobody can move beyond this point without first rolling their die, but you can see that you've got two choices: walk down what must be at least 500 steps to reach the first square, or take the equally long but infinitely more fun bouncy inflatable slide.

Can't we use a golf cart or something.

This looks like fly-over country to ME.

Will this be fun, or will this be betrayal ...

More weird environments.

[ Back here...? No. It might be the game tower, and he might also have a swamp and a forest, but it's not the same setup. ]

Cool.

[ Cool, cool, cool, cool. ]

RULES & INFO

[idolpro]

❍ STAT SHEET
❍ SIGN-UPS

Aim of the Game
❍ Make it around the board as quickly as you can. Keep track of how many turns you've taken. Turns during combat do not count towards this.
❍ Try not to die! Keep track of how many times you're KOd.

Instructions
❍ Each unit will find themselves with:
- ONE D6 die
- ONE map
- A walkie talkie PER PERSON.

The Die: To move across the course, they must roll their die and walk forward the corresponding number of squares. To cross a bridge, they must land on the square where the bridge starts. I.E. if the bridge is 4 squares away and they roll a 5, they're SOL. The same principle applies to event squares: they only activate if someone lands specifically on that square.

One person must roll the die each turn. It is that person who gets the event (and who must roll for it) unless otherwise specified. If they lose the die or try to throw it away, a new one will fall from the sky and land on their head. You're welcome! Lose 1HP!

Please note that some events will specify that EVERYONE (on that unit) must roll.

The Map: The massive course is split into five zones, each with different terrain, plus the "start" and "finish" areas. Each zone has 11 squares, made distinct by the faintly glowing borders that surround them. The borders are red in Z1; orange in Z2; green in Z3; blue in Z4, and pink in Z5. ICly, they take about half an hour to walk across.

The Walkie Talkie: To keep in touch! Or to complete an event ...

❍ Abilities are OFF. Characters have their phone (no signal) but no other items.

❍ Roll 1d6 to move across the board! Characters will be ICly rolling. OOCly, use .roll 1d6.

❍ Comment under the zone top level, including your turn number and the square you landed on. Your runner will then reply with your event.

❍ For any other rolls (event checks, combat, etc) use /r [number].

❍ Once every square, every member of the unit can (if they want to) roll adaptability to search for an item.

❍ If a unitmate is moved — because they were knocked back, fell in a trap, etc — the rest of their unit can freely traverse to that person's location. No dice rolling required, and no events will trigger! This doesn't count towards reviving dead unitmates though.

❍ Any missed turns apply to the whole unit! They can try to roll and move on if they want, but they'll find themselves unable to cross the glowing border.

Death and Revival
If a character's HP reaches zero, they die! Oops! They will revive afte their unit arrives on an even numbered square, with all stats restored to baseline.

Revival feels like pins and needles.

ENDGAME

[idolpro]

A claxon sounds, signalling the end of the game! Those who weren't already at the finish will find they can reach it without hindrance.

Beyond the huge inflatable archway emblazoned with the word ~FINISH~ is magnificent castle! A … small … magnificent castle, like the kind you'd find at a theme park. It's surrounded by a lush, manicured lawn, upon which rests a number of picnic blankets and baskets. Inside the baskets you'll find ice cold sodas, bottles of water, and a variety of picnic-friendly finger foods for all to enjoy.

REVIVALS .......?

[idolpro]

A herd of sheep come charging into the finishing area, carrying on their backs the bodies of Sho and Rufous!

After a few minutes, the two will find themselves fully revived, albeit with a heckin' case of pins and needles.

HEALING

[idolpro]

Anyone with injuries will find them healing, too!!

[Wrapped up in a stolen fur and absolutely drenched, but he seems like he's in good spirits]

[He's not helping himself to any picnic food, but you better believe he is Indiana Jonesing random bottles of water with his worm on a string whip]

Dude, okay, hold that stick up and stay really still.

[ Tea's here, bundled up in several picnic blankets because she is soaked to the bone and freezing cold. There may or may not be a few swamp weeds lingering in her hair. ]

I wanna showerrrrrrrrrrr.

[ —Well. Lupine sure did have two very different runs through this particular game. Excuse him while he just skins out of his tunic and shakes it several times sharply to get pie filling off, then rings it out to deal with the water, and finally just. tosses it up over the inflatable archway to dry completely.

There's enough blankets laid out on the grass for him to just steal one to wrap around his shoulders, right? Right. ]
