Round 1-E
Event 17: Surviving Dwarf Fortress
The day started off so well. The plains were clear, there was rumours of a delegation from the elves, the miners reporting a nice shiny new vein of adamantium being found in the deep tunnels. The governor had some new project that was keeping the smiths and engineers busy and promising a new era of peace, and even word that one of the pillars of the community had this snazzy new project. Honestly, despite that fact that it's a series of tunnels, it's still a pretty nice spot to be stuck on business. But... but... this isn't any regular fortress. This is Dwarf Fortress.
One entrance is now besieged by an angry Elven Army because you chopped down too many trees. The only other exit is blocked by a swarm of indifferent Elephants (who are oddly MORE dangerous than the army), the legions of Hell have shown up in the deep mines. The pillar of the community? Wanted a unicorn pelt for his great vision despite them being non-existant. So now he's gone insane and has started killing anything that moves with a pickaxe. And the great projects have been crafting trapped hallways pretty much everywhere, in addition to tons of lava tunnels. Of course, those Lava tunnels can be kinda useful, since they're rigged to flood all three of the invasion zones, either independantly or all together. The problem is, it took a lot of tries to get the switches set up properly, and no one took down the failed switches that'll also flood the tunnels themselves. And just forget about labling, documentation is for sissy races like humans or elves. So it's near impossible to tell which of the hundreds of switches are useful, and which are hidious death bait. And in all of this, we've got our two contestants, stuck in the middle of the mines on business with the goal of either being the first one to successfully escape. Or the last one to die.
Now, who are our lucky contestants.
Randy Marsh is a professional asshole. He's also a young boy. His primary advantage is that his height means that he'll have an easier time fitting into the dwarf tunnels, and may even be mistaken for one himself. Aside from that, I'm unsure what other survival skills he'll really be bringing into this. So his main edge will be a whole load of spite which makes it even more likely that this will end in death. On the other side, we have Excellen Browning, who's known for two things. Her quick wit will serve her well in this competition, but her custom mech, the Weisritter, clocking in at 20M tall, will definitely not fit into the tunnels and therefore is not going to come into play here. However, she does have some martial skills, so if anyone has a shot at escaping, she does.
Event 18: Doing the Impossible
Sometimes, no matter how good the heros are, there's simply no hope. The odds of success are starting at slim, and only getting worse. Of course, your typical hero doesn't let that phase them in the slightest. Point out that something's impossible, and they'll go out and do it anyways. This event is about doing that. Breaking the Unbreakable. Fighting the Unfightable. Seeing the Unseeable. and Doing the Undoable.
Our first contestant is the Solarian Secret Agent, Citan Uzuki. He doesn't have super Contact powers, but he does seem to be able to get the job done, regardless of whatever else seems to be going on. And always seems to be in the right place at the right time. However, in this one, he's up against one of the Three Goddesses that govern fate in addition to harvesting souls. Yes, Hrist Valkyrie takes to the field. And with her god power and possibly channelling the power of the Seraphic Gate, she'll see what she can do to win this sucker.
Event 19: Drag Contest
This match is pretty simple. Do your best to dress up and act like an attractive member of the opposite sex. Possibly with a little bit of camp tossed in. Of course, our contestants may not be the best.
We start with not one contestant, but many acting as one. Which is ok, because even in this event, some of them WILL die. Yes, I am talking about the Redshirts who will be doing their best to do Star Fleet proud by dressing in drag. Against this, we've got a New York detective. Specifically, Detective Lenny Briscoe from Law and Order is going undercover in a fabulous dress. But can he best the Red Dressed legion?
Event 20: Evade the Illuminati and Discover the Truth
You start off with a perfectly innocent secret society and even if they start off with the best of intentions, sooner or later they're gonna get into some deep dark shit and try and do something that all upstanding people would probably prefer they didn't do. Maybe they're want to set up freedom suppressing helicarriers. Maybe they want to use the Dead Sea Scrolls as a guide to turn the world into orange Tang. Or maybe they just want to ensure that that really convenient parking spot you really want to use is always full. ALWAYS. The problem is, sooner or later somebody stumbles onto the plan and then ruins it.
So, our first illuminati foiler today is everyone's favourite dispenser of death (or camera angles) from above, Lakitu. Given his recent forays into the mass media, and his new hit channel MKTV, he's certainly got the nose to find a cult and the means to spread word of their nefarious activities. And as anyone who has played an old school Mario Bros. knows, this guy is one of the more annoying enemies to deal with, evasively skimming the top of the screen while bombarding you with an endless supply of spiky enemies that you can't jump on. He is some serious competition, but then, so is his opponent. Erim isn't your traditional illuminati opponent. In fact, as a Sinistral, she's arguably a member of a illuminati like group. Of course, her primary (only?) character trait is working to ensure there's a bunch of heros well placed and well trained to stop her Sinistral bretheren, so she may be better at this than your average hero. And of course, just for fun, there will be an Orange Tang option. Because that amuses me.
Pairs Event 5: Bridge
Bridge is, at heart, a very simple game. It's a trick taking game where two teams of partners aim to get points by completing contracts formed by properly bidding. There's a ton of trick taking games out there. So what makes Bridge special? The bidding system. Given you have to pass information about your hand only by how you bid, there's a lot of skill that goes into that aspect of it, and a skilled pair of bidders will, eventually, win out over unskilled opponents, however lucky they may be.
Our first team is, well, both perfectly suited for this, and perfectly unsuited. Cidolfas Orlandu is a noble, which suggests he may well know card games. but even beyond that, he's shown to us as a skilled leader who's capable of thinking fast, and capable of both giving and receiving subtle cues (or as subtle as anyone can be in that FFT translation). All of which suggests he'd probably be quite good at Bridge. His partner... well, the best we can say about Kamina is that he's used to working with a partner. Also, great at bluffing. Aside from that, he's got the subtlety of a drill to the face, and tends towards gross optimism and trying to go as far over the top as possible. Hopefully, no one will mention that bids like 8 No Trump are impossible, since that may cause problems all of it's own. What they're up against? The Disney All-Stars, namely, Wreck-It Ralph and Winnie the Pooh. Anyone expecting Ralph to be a pushover here is gonna be in for a surprise. Sure, he's not the brightest bulb around, but he's not dumb either and he's got a lot of common sense. And while his partner is a bear of very little brain, Winnie the Pooh is great a working with a friendly partner. And let's face it, the two of them are probably gonna come out of this as friends. Just, will this be enough to best the sharp Orlandu, and the bold Kamina?
Pairs Event 6: Solve the Big Case as Buddy Cops
Somethig's gone wrong. Now it's time for two cops who don't usually work together, and who probably have clashing personalities to try and set aside their differences in order to solve the crime and save the day before the big bad gets away.
First up, we've got one of the strongest Mistborn out there, which should put an end to any fight she's in. Vin Venture may not be police trained, but she has a sharp mind, and does have some experience in trying to keep public order in rough times, which could serve her well here. Her partner is that faux-right wing bastion, Stephen Colbert. His over the top antics will make him the zany one, but will he be any help in the actual investigation? Against this we have the team of Kirby and Sokka. Kirby has a whole raft of abilities with just one catch. He has to eat whatever it is he wants to copy. But, he's a decent fighter, and he's able to go pretty much anywhere. Sokka, on the other hand, is a skilled combatant, but is pretty much just a regular guy. However, his whole schtick is that as a regular guy in a world full of super powered folk, he remains not only relevant but useful because he is intelligent, observant, and creative. Heck, he's even done this before and has an outfit for the occasion (it's a really silly outfit, but he has it!).
