WEEK SEVEN: ENDGAME 2

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's the dawn of the final day. The oppressive heat of Hell seems to rise and fall around you, and no matter where you slept last night you'll find that all of the islands across this realm are buzzing with excitement. You all know what comes next. Take some time, gather yourselves, and maybe even have some breakfast. Pick out your best party outfits and brush up on your etiquette. At about eleven in the morning, all participants single-dead and double-dead will find themselves on the receiving end of a new DM.

party starts in an hour!! if you're not in line now, you're gonna miss the start!!

Better start making your way to those wrought-iron gates at the edge of the city. You can see it now, the giant mansion situated at the top of the volcano, but it's still a distance away. The line seems to crawl, slowly, and as you draw closer you'll see several demons and humans being let through and just as many being turned away. But you? Lucky you...as you approach, a flickering shadow three times your size looks you over before letting you through the gate. There's a bridge strung over a pool of lava, wobbling with your every step as your skin practically boils you alive.

But then...as you approach the front doors? The Mansion Welcomes You.

Come on in! You were invited, after all. The party's just getting started but there isn't a shortage of humans and demons already milling around the property as music blasts from all directions. Immediately as you enter, you'll see a large sign hanging in the foyer advertising today's drink-off. There's also a list of names under it:

Akira Fudo
Arataki Itto
Gideon Nav
Hana Song
Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Hunter (Blonde)
Kaname Date
Kuranosuke Koibuchi
Lin Jingheng
Lu Bixing
Persephone
Rynlan Dawnslight
Ryo Asuka
Thancred Waters
Zelgadis

The drink-off itself isn't for another couple of hours though. So why not relax and enjoy the party? Mingle around, explore the house, make your way to the bar to grab a drink...and prepare to play for your life.

DRINK OFF

[hellscapes]

DRINK OFF

It's time for your final show-down against Satan, so let's go over how this works.

On your turn you may RNG what drink you get - and because these are small shots, the effect will not last nearly as long as usual. (Perhaps even... only a comment or two!) Along with deciding your drink effect, you will also roll a d20 on each turn! You may interpret your success or failure from that D20 roll however you think is reasonable... And you do get a bonus. You may add to every roll the number you received on your final "congrats on raising your alcohol tolerance!" slip of paper. (EX: If your most recent slip says +5, you can add +5 to all of your rolls.) You may interpret this as sheer alcohol tolerance, or any Magic Shenanigans your character has to help themselves win.

You may challenge Satan to any one of the following games.

Beer Pong - Both sides of a table have 10 cups, each half-full. Take turns trying to bounce a ping-pong ball off of the table and land it in your opponent's cup to make them drink its contents. Clear their side of the table to win. Stack Em - Take a shot, then use your empty shot-glass to build a pyramid. Start with 4 on the base level, then 3, 2, and 1 on top. The first level is easy, but be careful! In this challenge, drunken clumsiness could set back your progress. Build your pyramid first to win. Flip Cup - Both sides of a long table are lined with 10 cups. Down your drink, then place your cup half off the edge of the table. Hit it from below as many times as it takes for it to land face down, then move on to your next drink. Clear your side of the table first to win.

When commenting, please put the name of the game in the subject line for mod ease, and please let us know what your deciding scale is for your rolls (e.g. if you would consider all odd numbers a pass and all evens a fail, 1-10 a fail and 11-20 a pass, etc.)

BEER PONG

[cavaliered]

[1-10 a fail, 11-20 a pass works! i think this is what we do help]

[bxkautx]

[ perfect! i'll follow the same rules. well then, alex sets up the beer pong table! ]

Flip a coin to decide who goes first? [ TOO LATE SHE'S FLIPPING. HEADS OR TAILS? ]

BEER PONG

[ontrend]

[i'm probably overthinking this but since beer pong is easier the more cups there are and harder when you have to aim for just one - roll a dice! with 10 cups on a side, the difficulty requires a roll of 8 or higher to get your ball in the cup. add 1 to the difficulty for every cup that is removed. you'd need a score of 17 i can't count or higher to get your ball into the final cup, for example! does that work or is that too complicated? i can also just make it "roll higher than x score to get whichever cup you were aiming for" if that'd be easier.]

Yo, Satan! Beer pong work for you?

[bxkautx]

[ help. but sure, i will follow those rules as well! and alex flips a coin! ]

Heads or tails to go first?

FLIP CUP

[preordain]

[ evens pass, odds fail thumbs up ]

[bxkautx]

[ 👍 ]

Alright. On your mark... Get set... Go!

BEER PONG

[psynchronise]

[ well it's... one thing to be thinking about the party for eight weeks, and another to actually be here. same goes for the party -- it was easy to assume party games, drinking games specifically, being at the end of all this but now he's actually here and getting ready to play them?

boy that's a different feeling. ]

Might as well get started, right?

[ going with evens to pass, odds to fail! also rng really gave him y'know, like, nya? for his first drink. christ. ]

[bxkautx]

[ sorry about your existential dread.

hella, i'll follow those rules as well. and alex flips a coin! ]

Heads or tails for first shot?

FLIP CUP

[hardrocklife]

[zelgadis is a rock once again...

for consistency, same rules as ryo! evens pass, odds fail!]

I'm ready when you are.

[bxkautx]

Alright then... Go!

[ 12 + 8 = 20. Alex downs a drink and flips a cup. so fast! so talented!

also she is shivering. thank you bundle up. ]

Hey this one kind of sucks?

STACK EM

[outsidebones]

[hello cola. i wanna do evens succeed odds fail, but let nat 20 always succeed and nat 1 always fail. harrow has a +7.

also since i do not think anyone could possibly fail to stack the bottom row, do you wanna just RNG 4 drinks to start from and say they both succeeded at that, and then the 5 successes can be for getting the other 6 on there?]

[bxkautx]

[ phew, okay!!! i'm fine with those rules. yes let's just. wow they both placed their 4 base glasses it was so easy.

alex wants to pick a fight. with that santa over there. also she's cold again. at least one of these drinks did nothing. thank god.

okay for her second row she got a 16+8 = 24. successfully making the second level, here... ]

T-this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that weird guy watching us. [ SHE'S SO COLD. ]

Stack Em

[tearduct]

[1-10 will fail to stack, 11-20 will stack one! I guess we can just say whoever finishes it or gets closest is the victor. Oh, I forgot to say he has a +7.]

Yo. Long time no talk.

[He will take a shot to start. Well, I rolled a 1 so he already isn't able to stack this somehow even though he is making a BASE. HELP ME. He drops the shot glass, I guess.

Also, he now has two long, black ears on the side of his head.]

[bxkautx]

'Sup.

[ PLEASE WE CAN SKIP THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID IT'S FINE. in the course of setting up the bottom row alex has begun to cough up flowers, but somehow she is so happy and hydrated my dude. ]

FLIP CUP

[onlythans]

[Thancred's modifier is a +5 and I guess we can just do odd outcomes succeed, even outcomes fail?

Anyway he definitely doesn't look like he's particularly thrilled to be playing in a drinking contest with these kind of stakes against a literal teenage girl — hellion or not — so he's keeping his attention focused on the cups rather than on small talk.]

[bxkautx]

[ sure! ]

Okay, ready? Go!

[ she is not taking a head start that would be rude! ]

STACK EM

[eleusinia]

[ 1-10 fail, 11-20 pass with a +7 modifier i dont trust anything ]

Wow, okay, um... I guess we're doing this. [ she raises a random shot glass to alex! ] May the soberest person win?

[ ok to speed things along actually i got 2 successes and 2 fails so she currently has 2/4 of her bottom row set up. the drinks i got mean that she has higher tolerance, is now a bitch, coughs up petals all over her side of the table, and looks like filbo. help. ]

[bxkautx]

Just try and have fun!

[ hella

16, 6, 6, and 3. alex manages to get all four of her bottom row laid out. but that last one is janky. it's fine. that's a problem for later alex.

also she has cat ears now? and she has had a nutshot so she is very energetic and kind of. bouncing on her heels. come on come on come on come on!!! and nothing tastes good anymore. and she is clumsy so i

suppose i will reckon with that in her next rolls. ]

BEER PONG

[selfdestructs]

[ let's go with the 1-10 a fail and 11-20 a pass!! that seems the easiest. she has a +4 for reference! and is also wearing some very cute face paint now, two heart cheeks!! she seems very confident!! ]

A new challenger approaches!! Let's do this~

Coin toss to decide who goes first okay? I'll take tails, if so.

BEER PONG

[firstandgreatest]

[ lets do odd success and even fail, with 1 always being a fail and 20 being a success! itto has a +7 ]

[ BOUNDING OVER like a huge dog and/or bull in a china shop and immediately starting to yell ]

LET'S DO THIS THING, COMPADRE!

[ and then he slams both his fists into the table and with an (4+7) 11 he almost knocks over one of his own dang drinks but somehow miraculously launches the little pingpong ball into one of her cups entirely on accident ]

F--

BEER PONG.

[awol]

[ hi hi cola! let's do 1-10 fails, 11-20 succeeds. jingheng has a modifier of +6. he'll step up to the table and gives her a nod. ]

Coin flip to see who goes first. I'll choose heads.

STACK EM

[engineers]

[ hewwo cola!!! lets do 1-10 will fail to stack, 11-20 will stack one. +7 modifier for me! i also like the nat 1 auto fail nat 20 auto success, and additionally the lets RNG 4 drinks for the base and assume we stacked the first four perfectly fine.

i mean like, of course bixing is doing the stacking game. drunk engineering. as he's stacking his four - drink 1 is out of my cage so satan gets to feel that bixing is happy and nervous and excited, drink 2 is like nya so he sprouts a pair of brown puppy ears and a tail that wags once behind him, drink 3 is a spoonful of sugar which has him mumble When you're found at the edge of the universe, sometimes one must become content to love the questions themselves and the fourth is dirt so he is immediately distracted from cosmic existential dread by hot gossip like elizabeth turan as he cheerfully stacks his fourth cup and asks: ]

Sooo, what were you the most invested in watching of all of the participants? Did you end up following anyone's 'storylines'?

stack 'em!

[voidshift]

[i'm borrowing some of the rules that have been used because i too want to speedrun the bottom row, so-- rng 4 drinks and we go from there for the next 5! 1-10 fails 11+ passes let's go. he's dropped shadowform but an ambient shadow tendril or 2 lingers around him.

anyway his first roll is going to be a 14+7 which i prerolled regardless of who is first! and in the process of setting up the first 4: he has red hair suddenly, which quickly changes to black because he is goth, his hair tentacles vanish and are replaced with a pair of horns for a body-part shift drink, and. uh.

love potion.]

Almost a shame to have to play against you.

beer pong

[greatvalue]

[1-10 fail, 11-20 pass! Hunter has a modifier of +7. And just to get the ball rolling, he will start start off with a 17 (10+7) regardless of whether the coin says it's alex's turn first or his.]

So... you've had a couple dozen shots already. How are you feeling?

[






i'm sorry but he takes a sip and immediately glances down at alex's ass because that sure is fucking woo woo]
