Re: Mafia: The Last Resort [DUEL]
09-17-2011, 09:41 PM
Once, there was a duellist of fear and a duellist of passion. Their fates were entwined through a single fell act, one that was now barely remembered. All that mattered was the result: a duel must take place.
The one full of fear ran into the night, determined to neither die nor spill the blood of their foe. Accordingly, the one full of passion responded with bloody pursuit. None would stand in the latter duellist's path as they sought their twisted justice, and for years the fearful one remained alive but in terror of the even the shadows.
Now, at last, there will be an end to the story of the duellists.
Their paths have crossed, in the gleaming halls of the Last Resort, just as the first rays of day appear.
With sword and with pistol they will fight, until only one of them may stand to greet the new day.

The first indication that anything had happened was the scream.
Even in at the celestial banquet it was heard. All at once the guests of the Last Resort came running, shedding the porcelain masks and fine clothes in an instant. Bursting from silvery light into grey reality, everyone found themselves gathered in the room of TimeothyHour.
He himself was pressed into a corner, attempting to distance himself as much as possible from the crazy women brandishing swords and guns who had appeared. Fortunately for him, they only had eyes for each other. Their gazes shared a mad, gleeful gleam and their teeth were bared in grins.
The Duel had begun.

The Night has ended, but the Day will not begin until the Duel has been concluded. The rules of this incident are as follows:
1. The two (2) primary people fighting are Woffles and Pharmacy, and only one of them will die.
2. However, each may recruit two (2) Secondary Fighters. These will be the first four (4) people to claim a spot, and they must choose either Woffles and Pharmacy to ally themselves with. There may be a reward of some form for the team that wins. There will therefore be six (6) people playing.
3. Once the two (2) teams have been formed, each person involved must submit an action in form of words, describing what they do in the duel. This may be as detailed as they want, but must be less than 100 words. This is essentially roleplaying, but with the focus on the actions. Actions must be bolded and in the colour of the team (this will be provided).
4. Once everyone in the teams has submitted one (1) action, the round will be concluded and I will post the results. How exactly these are determined will be kept secret, but will be fair. Each person has three (3) health points, and once these are depleted they will be unable to fight but will not be dead, unless they are the Primary Fighter. Once the two (2) Secondary Fighters on a team are indisposed, their Primary Fighter will only need to lose one more hit point (in addition to the three they start the fight with) before they die. So a Primary Fighter may lose all their hitpoints but not die if they still have a person on their team. If this person is then indisposed, the Primary Fighter must be hit one more time before they die.
5. Weapons are whatever you would imagine you could find within the hotel. Woffles and Pharmacy each have two (2) duelling pistols and one (1) rapier, which they may choose to distribute within their actions.
6. The fight will begin in the hotel room, but this is fairly large. It may also have multiple rooms with different functions and items in them, and if the players so wish they may move out into whatever areas of the hotel lie beyond the room door.
7. Everyone may post, but unless they are submitting an action or signing up to join a team they must use spoiler tags. Teams may talk to each other via spoilered posts in the thread, but by no other means.
8. If you're playing: make it awesome.
That's it. Sign ups for teams are in progress. If clarification is needed, please ask.
