[PERIDOT and EMERALD]

[dramatispersonae]

*Slowly, your cage approaches another team's. They come together with a smooth click: the doors are now joined, though still locked. you may speak to the other team through the door, or reach through the bars to pass each other items.

In the box, three new items have appeared.*

A fresh trial will come in half an hour. Will you feel comfortable facing it with these items?

You may discuss and exchange objects with the other team through the door; any trades, however, must be fair. An item for an item.

*you have: a bucket, a pillowcase, and a sizeable bundle of straw.*

Ooohhh, bucket and pillowcase, much more useful for grabbing things~

Re: [DISCUSS: PERIDOT]

[silentknight]

Hopefully it will be grabbing?

*you have: a single apple, a single docile pennytoad, and one stick of dynamite.*

... what.

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[steampunked]

Seems like we've got two things that could be used as bait. We should try to trade one off.

Re: [DISCUSS: EMERALD]

[steampunked]

Oooooh. Things that explode.

Re: [DISCUSS: EMERALD]

[aberdevine]

I assume you mean this [points at the dynamite] because I'm pretty sure apples and frogs don't.

[WHEN DID I GET HERE. MAYBE I WAS HERE ALL ALONG.]

....Ah.

Re: [DISCUSS: EMERALD]

[aberdevine]

[NO, IF YOU WERE HERE ALL ALONG, YOU WOULD HAVE VETOED FISH-TICKLING, I THINK.]

... hey.

Heeeey youuuuu, what've you got over there anyway?

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[aberdevine]

An apple, a frog, and... dynamite. What about you?

[ROUND TWO]

[dramatispersonae]

*In the firepit, an image forms in reds and golds: the team in the opposite cage.*

With your chosen three items, and your knowledge of these heroes, how would you capture one of them? Which one of them would it be, and why? What sort of pursuit would you take, or what kind of trap would you craft? Be imaginative.

You must use everything provided, and you have one hour.

When you are ready, throw your objects in the fire and then tell me your answer.

Re: [ROUND TWO]

So who... are we catching...

Re: [ROUND TWO]

[steampunked]

I mean, we have dynamite. I could probably get all of 'em.

Re: [ROUND TWO]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hoh! Interesting.

[FINAL ANSWER]

[dramatispersonae]

PERIDOT

[boxupallthebutterflies]

As Ariel has described: Tie the straw into suitably sturdy lengths of rope. Knock the small one out with the bucket while he is distracted. Secure the pillowcase over his head and tie him up with the rope.

Oh, yes. Naturally, our target has been chosen for his apparent relative susceptibility to being distracted and restrained.

Re: [FINAL ANSWER]

[aberdevine]

We threaten to throw the dynamite in their fire unless they give us a hostage in exchange for our toad. Once the hostage is over, we grab them, sit on them, and gag them with the apple.

The hostage should be the noodly one because he looks easy to sit on. The reason is that his team threatened to suffocate Touchy.

*the objects--even those that shouldn’t burn--are consumed instantly. The firepits go out and vanish.

In their place, the open gate reappears, leading back to the Ring!*
