Hunger Games: Session 9

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:

Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

[ With sparser trees in this swamp, it seems like a great place to make a park … not! The swamp water is knee-deep and also, more importantly, it's definitely infested with something in the waters!? But whatever, guess the town decided to put up a jungle gym here anyway! In order to get anywhere in this zone, you'll have to either wade through the swamp waters or climb the monkey bars. Pick your poison.

Interestingly, the animals do seem pretty intelligent, if not understanding of human language. Maybe they could even cooperate with a competitor they respect.

What's that!? Near the center of the swamp is a lion chimera…-like statue, which looks intimidating at first. Huh. False alarm. (20HP)

The only signs of life besides you resides in this swamp, and oh, the animals aren't friendly. Non-Primal Instinct (Name Pending) users must roll Endurance:
3+: They're intimidating, but none will approach unless aggressed. Still, you have to be cautious. Lose 2 points in Agility.
0-2: You aren't welcome here, and they can smell your fear. A number of circling birds swoop down to claw at you to show just how (un)welcome you are here! Lose 2HP.
You can go north to the Clinic, northeast to the Junkyard, southeast to the Shopping Street, south to the WcDonald's, southwest to the Mountain's Edge, or northwest to the Forest's Edge. Or, you can uncover the manhole and escape into the sewers. ]

A bubbling noise comes from deep below the swamp...the peat shifts and the murky water burbles, and soon enough it's evident that the air is almost utterly toxic. It starts with coughing and wheezing, but the longer you stay here, the less and less oxygen there is…

...and the slightest spark, you know, will set off an immediate chain reaction!

For every turn spent in the swamp, make an Adaptability check:
1-5: You breathe in the gas, severely damaging your lungs.

Take 4 damage.

6-8: You breathe in the gas and collapse with coughing.

Take 3 damage.

9+: You breathe in the gas and begin to feel disoriented and lightheaded.

Lose 6 Adaptability until leaving the Swamp.

IN ADDITION: Roll 1d8.
1-3: Everything's fine.
4-8: The swamp gas ignites, dealing 6 damage to all creatures in the room! Activate Get Ready To Ignite in a random adjacent area.

[ rolled 9! ...so he starts coughing and stumbling around. ] Fuck... [ so much for this being SAFE. ]

[ rolled 1 for not exploding the swamp. ]

[ he is SWIFTLY FUCKING OFF... to the junkyard. ]

Haha fuck not this shit agaaaaaain -

[ 7 on the gas, and then 4 on the explosions. BOOM ]

[ thanks fuck for primal instinct ( name pending ). as interested as he is leaving the jungle to move elsewhere in this strange ass world... murdering statues IS a part of this, so in an effort to keep someone else from taking HIS statue... he is going to murder it. ]

[ but first let's see if he can't find something. adapt roll 8! ]
