Not knowing what else to do, Tinker wrapped his other arm around her shoulders in a sort hug. Then he stepped back and smiled at her, letting her hold onto his hand. His thoughts seethed despite his smile, beneath the surface. Emeric... why'd you have to drive her to find hope in me? One of us is going to die, and it's going to hurt the other. But I suppose that's what you wanted, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Just now, Spark of Hope said: “Yeah.” Tinker started walking back towards the center of the arena. Not directly towards the casino, but farther from the rim. "There should be a forest nearby we can take temporary shelter in," he said. He walked slowly to see if Marewill would let go of his hand. Whatever she needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Calm down" she says softly. Sitting beside the creatures head, and stroking it. Looking down at it amazed. Full of awe. @Edema Rue It doesn’t calm down. 1 hour ago, The Bookwyrm said: Tinker hesitantly slid the spike-jar into Marewill's pack, then started scanning the area. @Edema Rue There are some rocks. Plenty of room to set up a tent, since the trees are scattered about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to waste any more spores than we need to." Tinker spent a few minutes gathering wood from the surrounding trees, then assembled a fire near the tent.

"Is it even possible to defeat someone using one..." she repeated, more to herself than anyone else. Then she stepped to the side as the tree fell. @LightRinger @The Stormfather @Unintelligenius Quelkin sees one of the tributes summon a shardblade. "Oh rusts" he thinks as he feels the tree start to fall. He sucks in his stormlight from the dice in his pocket. He tries to jump out of the tree and land on his feet but he gets tangled in one of the branches. He thuds into the ground and lifts the branch off of himself, then stands up and dusts himself off. He realizes that most of his stormlight was used in healing him from his fall. He looks up to see a group of tributes staring at him.

You almost got killed for inactivity, so good timing though. Astra really should have kept the shardblade summoned. Tondon starts. “You again?” Tossing a sickle in the rough direction of Quelkin, he turns to the others. “Watch out, this guy’s a Thug and can do the glowy thing!” Tondon moves to the side if his sickle misses, then Pulls it towards Quelkin’s back while throwing his dagger a little off to the side, trying to get Quelkin to step into one of his attacks. “You guys can get out of here! I’ll hold him off!” @The Stormfather @Lotus Blossom @LightRinger @RoyalBeeMage Quote Tondon may be acting a bit overconfident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
