Emerald

[dramatispersonae]

[ When you enter the forest, you find yourself transported to the top of a….tower? But the tower seems to be made of platforms, three candy blocks across, and about ten platforms high. All of the other teams’ towers are visible to you, currently, they look exactly the same.

There are no handrails or edges, and if you peer over the side, you can see that your tower is standing in a lake made of jello. . . ]

[ In the center of your platform, there are three objects floating in midair: a ball of jelly yarn, a piece of pie, and a jawbreaker. If you can’t see, you instinctually know they are there. ]

RULES

[dramatispersonae]

- You are playing Jenga! To win this game you must outlast the other teams, either by making smart choices or by sabotaging others using the items provided to you. There is also one secret win condition, so think creatively and outlast well.
- Each turn, you must pull a block from your own tower. The goal is to not tip the tower over. If you haven’t played Jenga before, helpful hints can be found in the spreadsheet HERE. You can ICly see how well other teams are doing. You can’t see who is on top of the platform or what special items they’re using.
- The three items in the middle of your platform are there to help you hurt other towers. Eat one, and you may cast a status effect on your choice of two teams.

When your platform falls, you fall into jello. No harm will be had to you, but you’ll be pretty sticky. :) The game is over when you fall!

[REMOVE BLOCK 10.1
NO FOOD]

Hey, Bob, we've got a deal for you. Only eat the top half of this block and shove the rest off onto the side so we have a jelly boat. We'll give you stuff that's not candy after the game to make up for it.

Re: Selection

[dramatispersonae]

What sort of stuff?

Re: Selection

[ Cheshire eats 10.3, but just as he does you hear a GLUMP GLUMP!!! and suddenly the whole tower is covered in icky goo... what is this, jelly junk? you feel so slow....

then there's a RUMBLE!!! and suddenly the whole earth is shaking?!?! what is this, a jawbreaker earthquake? it's hurting your jaws to keep rumbling, that's for sure. and suddenly your tower's all covered in....whipped cream? you can smell the apples!

you miss a lot of the effects due to your boat, but after your tower loses 4.2, 5.2, 7.1, 5.1, 7.2, & 9.3, it begins to slowly, slowly topple into the jello. ]

WAVEFRONT

[dramatispersonae]

[the wave from the shuddering fall of the tower rises higher and higher, carrying your boat with it. a piece of flotsam upon the jello catastrophe, your boat is launched straight into another falling tower. . . ]
