I think PB shows as votes per player not who we voted for, but who we consider to amass the most votes, and only then announces as a lump sum who got the most votes... if not that, then I am just as confused as you are.

Also, since so many people think I needed that immunity, I guess this might mean I am screwed.

I feel like I aced a test I hadn't study for and didn't understand how to take.

Like most tests I have ever written, I feel like I knew the material and way to write the test until the answers were posted at which point I realized I never understood a thing.

You return from Tribal Council invigorated.

Players no longer lose Morale from attending Tribal Council

[Alkend]

interesting

[Path-Shaper]

You receive Tree Mail that reads:

"Congratulations... you have made the top 6.
The game is not over, but just for kicks,
You will find your quest, for the money requires,
You to forgo your reward desires."

Everyone is confused and heads to the Tribal Council arena.

[Path-Shaper]

"C'mon in guys!" Jeff says and you enter the arena.

"Welcome to the Challenge arena... I have some important news for all of you. Your time out here has drawn on... for 35 days now! You are all getting weary, that much is obvious, and it's going to take its toll on you... right now."

All non-passive stat increase Level 1 abilities are no longer in effect.

"Now let's get to today's challenge. Today, you are playing for immunity. Again. That means..." Jeff goes over to Merrid, "I take this from you. There are no more rewards. Immunity will be your reward. And should you not win it... your punishment may be a spot on the jury."

"For today's challenge, you will each race across a balance beam. On the other end of the balance beam are four bags. You need to grab one of those bags and then race back to the starting area. You will do this four times. If you fall off the balance beam on the way over, you must go back and start over. Once you have all four bags, you will begin to work on a puzzle. First person to complete their puzzle is safe from the vote, guaranteed a one-in-five shot at immunity and winning this game. Losers, one of you will be voted out and join the jury."

[Path-Shaper]

All players lose and gain 1 Morale (net 0).

[Tulas Shorn]

Hi PB, beautiful day for a run!

[Path-Shaper]

"Survivors ready... go!"

"Everyone racing off now... Anomandaris, Serc, and Alkend up quickly on those beams... Ruse gets on... and falls off. Merrid and Tulas Shorn trying to get across them, but it's hard going... now Anomandaris is across and has his first bag, he's racing back!"

"Serc and Alkend grab their bags and now they're heading back... Anomandaris is already on the beam again... Ruse is halfway back across... Merrid and Tulas Shorn almost make it... but Tulas falls off and has to go back!"

"Serc and Alkend are back on... Ruse finally gets across, Merrid gets over, too. Tulas trying to get back across... and Anomandaris makes it across to grab his second bag!"

Anomandaris has the lead

[Path-Shaper]

"Serc and Alkend are trying to get across, but Serc wobbles and falls off! Alkend's across and grabs his bag, trying to catch Anomandaris!"

"Now Anomandaris his second bag turned in and is heading back out... Serc's running back across... Ruse is heading back with his bag... Tulas is finally over and gets a bag. Merrid's got his first one in and is trying to get back..."

"Anomandaris looks like he has a good system... he jumps up and almost races across that beam... he's got his third bag in hand! Alkend trying to keep up but is struggling to move at that pace! Serc gets across and grabs a second bag... Ruse trying to cross... Tulas turns his in and starts to cross... and he falls off again!"

Anomandaris has the lead

[Tulas Shorn]

I hate my life. Clumsy legs.

[Path-Shaper]

"Anomandaris turns in his bag. Alkend finally finishes crossing and gets his third bag! Merrid gets over and grabs a second bag. Serc's back on the beams again... but falls off and has to head back to the start! Ruse falls off and has to go back! Tulas Shorn is back trying to cross."

"Anomandaris is running back across and... he easily crosses and grabs another bag! Alkend's heading back and getting on to cross again!"

"Serc is almost across now... and jumps off to grab a third bag! Merrid turns his bag in and is heading across again... Ruse is crossing and Tulas Shorn crosses finally and gets a second bag. Anomandaris turns in that bag and opens it up to start working on the puzzle! Alkend really concentrating on crossing... he's almost there!"

"He crosses now and grabs that bag to head back, but he's got a lot of catching up to do! Serc turns in the third bag but is really looking gassed. Merrid crosses and grabs the third bag. Ruse finishes crossing and grabs his second. Tulas turns his in and heads out for the third..."

"Anomandaris has had some time to work on this puzzle now as Alkend gets his pieces out... Ano is grouping into similar pieces... he's really making good progress..."

Anomandaris has the lead

[Path-Shaper]

"Anomandaris starting to look like he's getting it... Alkend is working pretty hard and is starting to make some progress... Serc and Merrid trying to grab a fourth bag... Ruse turns in and joins Tulas in trying to cross for that third..."

"Anomandaris looks like he's getting close.... Alkend starting to close the gap but how quickly?!"

"Anomandaris hammering a few pieces into place... he has it!"

Anomandaris wins immunity!

---

"Anomandaris, very impressive... another big win, a guaranteed spot at the final five. Everyone else, after 35 days... one of you will join the jury as our seventh member. You get to think about it for the rest of the day. See you at Tribal.

(TC is now open)

[Path-Shaper]

The days have worn on... it's now 36 days into the game. Only a few days remain and you are now filled with the conviction that... I made it this far... I could actually win this thing! Similarly... you think the same thing of everyone else.

All players are now at average morale. Morale no longer exists.

All Level 2 abilities are no longer in effect, other than STR/END/INT bonuses
