[Alkend]

probably First Empire for the Nameless Ones' masters.

[Anomandaris]

i am fine with that.

[Barghast]

So what we have for vote choices so far are:

Karatallid land
Selamat
The Mighty Eleint
Cheese & Wine
Dogsbollox
Azath
Azathenai
First Empire

Are there any more suggestions?

[Merrid]

My vote is for Azathenai

[Path-Shaper]

Just wanted to give everyone a reminder that six players have left the game and thus, all remaining players have attained 6 EXP. If you had EXP to spend and you were interested in doing so, you are free to do so at any time.

[Path-Shaper]

"C'mon in guys!"

Jeff welcomes you back to the challenge arena, although this time, you file in as twelve members on a single tribe. Ruse is holding the idol from Dureza's previous team immunity win.

"Congratulations on making to the merge, everyone. Have you decided on a new tribe name?"

Serc yells out, "Azathenai!" Jeff nods in approval.

"Alright, members of Azathenai, as I'm sure many of you have realized, it's an entirely new game when you have 12 people living together, half of whom have spent the entire game being your enemy! It will be interesting to see how that plays into your hands going forward, but first things first... Ruse..." and Jeff walks over to Ruse and takes the idol away. He walks back to where he was standing and places the idol on the ground.

"Tribal immunity is no more... from here on out you'll be playing for this..." and Jeff pulls back a sheet to reveal the same necklace from the earlier challenge. There is, however, only one of them this time. "Individual Immunity. When you are wearing this necklace you cannot be voted out of this game. If you are not wearing this, you are vulnerable. So let's get to today's challenge."

"For today's immunity challenge, you'll each have to race and crawl through a sand pit and underneath a wooden wall. After you do so, you'll have to climb over a series of metal bars. At the end of the bars will be a large tablet. On that tablet will be inscribed a series of symbols and a translation for what those symbols mean. You need to study this tablet. You will then race underneath another wooden wall, over another set of bars, to the end of the course. At the end, you will find a large rope that is holding up a ceramic urn with your name written upon it. The rope is held in place by four locks. Each lock can be opened using a number. To find these numbers, you will have to solve four puzzles next to the rope, using the symbols you memorized. If you get any wrong, you'll have to go back and try to remember them again. Once you figure out all four puzzles and use them to open the locks, the rope will release the urn and it will fall to the ground and shatter. The first person to break their urn wins immunity. Everyone else, Tribal Council where one of you will be voted out."

"We'll draw for spots and then get started."

(this challenge will begin in 1-1.5 hours)

[Kalse]

I like Azathenai. Good choice.

What does "draw for spots" mean? Are we going in order instead of all at the same time or something?

[Path-Shaper]

It's just flavor, Kalse. In the real Survivor, players randomly are given a spot on the field. Here, it has no meaning.

[Path-Shaper]

Several people are bickering on the morning of the challenge. There is some disagreement about the amount of rice everyone should be allowed to eat. Maybe it's not so harmonious here at camp?

Everyone suffers a -1 Morale penalty.

Oh. And now I'm being punished with negative morale. So cruel, Jeff, so cruel...

There's no need to bicker, clearly I should eat all the rice...

[Merrid]

Touch my rice and I will gut you. The rest of the tribe shall then eat well. After I will use your left over pieces to catch fish. So pleaseplease touch my rice.




What you know that we were going cannibal eventually.

[Path-Shaper]

Eventually, the issue with the rice is resolved peacefully.

All players gain +1 Morale

The Challenge is now being run!

[Path-Shaper]

"Alright... first player to successfully free their rope from the locks and break their urn wins immunity... Survivors ready... go!"

"Nobody wants to go home tonight... Anomandaris doing a good job getting under that wall... Serc, right behind him. Okaros not far behind. Kalse and Tulas Shorn really having a lot of trouble... they may need to dig a bigger hole! Meanwhile, Eloth's gotten through the hole... Liosan and Karatallid are through, too! Merrid's through! Ruse is through! Barghast, too! They're all heading toward the bars!"

"Now everyone starting to get under that wall... Alkend, Anomandaris, Kalse, Okaros, Serc, Tulas all through... but they're gonna have to catch up! Merrid's over the bars! Karatallid's over 'em. Liosan's over them. Eloth too! Serc and Barghast right behind 'em!"

"Eloth, Karatallid, Liosan, Merrid all studying those symbols... memory is a huge component to this challenge. Who will be mentally sharp after 18 days out in this wilderness?"

"Everyone else getting over the bars now... all studying the symbols... Tulas Shorn is the only one who hasn't finished getting over the bars... and he's finally there, but he's got to catch up!"

[Path-Shaper]

"Everyone studying those symbols... you don't want to have to come back here... Liosan keeps studying them but Eloth, Karatallid, and Merrid take off! Karatallid gets under the wall in a hurry, but Eloth and Merrid are right behind him!"

"Now we're getting people running out there... who left too soon, and who left at the right time? Eloth and Merrid get under the wall in a hurry... Karatallid's having some trouble getting through the bars... but Eloth leaps over them like a professional hurdler! He's at the puzzle now, how quickly will he be able to solve it!"

"Everyone else really hurrying... nobody able to get through the wall that quickly... Liosan's out there now... Alkend and Kalse still studying those symbols... Tulas really studying trying to catch up..."

[Path-Shaper]

"Eloth gets to work on the puzzle... how much did he learn... how much does he remember? He carefully begins reading the puzzles... they are mathematical in nature... did you remember how all of the pieces work together? Numbers, symbols... Karatallid and Merrid joining him now... both looking a little flustered. They get to work on the puzzle..."

"Everyone else trying to catch up... Alkend's on the course now, hoping he learned everything he could! Anomandaris, Barghast, Liosan, Okaros, Ruse, Serc, all under the wall, trying to get over the bars... Liosan's really moving... he's over the bars, he's at the puzzle now! Everyone else really struggling there..."

"Kalse and Tulas Shorn still back at the symbol tablet... really trying to commit this to memory... if they can get it on the first try, that will be a huge advantage, but if any one of the people in front of them have it fully memorized, this will all have been a big waste of time..."

"Liosan working with everyone on that puzzle now... Eloth's got a lock open! Everyone else over there really struggling... Anomandaris is having trouble getting through the bars... you gotta go over them! The others all making it to the puzzle and trying to solve it... Alkend almost to the puzzle now, he's caught up with Anomandaris!"

[Merrid]

Come on Kalse......

[Merrid]

Oh wait... Come on me more...

[Kalse]

Merrid, on 25 April 2011 - 07:48 PM, said:

Come on Kalse......

I know right let's pick up the pace a little here, self...

[Path-Shaper]

"Barghast gets a lock open! Eloth has another lock open! Merrid's got one! Serc's got one! Liosan's got one! Anomandaris and Alkend finally get to the puzzle... Anomandaris lost a lot of time there... Alkend had some extra time studying... will it pay off? Both get to work quickly..."

"Kalse and Tulas Shorn finally on the course! Both spent a long time looking that thing over... will it be enough or will they be too late? Both pushing hard now trying to get under that wall... and they do! They're working on getting over the bars. Both looking really tired, but neither one giving up!"

"Merrid throws up his hands in frustration... he can't figure any more out... he's gotta go back! Merrid back on the course! Alkend's got a lock undone now... Barghast has another one! Anomandaris gets one quickly! Eloth... he can't get any more. He's stuck on the last two! He's heading back to the marker! Serc's out of options, heading back to the marker... Okaros, Ruse, both really struggling right now... neither one can get a single lock open! Karatallid having a lot of trouble, too... although he just gets one open!"
