Soon it is my turn to choose who will be my team. The commish looks at me, his eyes questioning. He knows I am interested now. The nemesis of my lady the Demon Moloch is here in these games as well. I must not back down now, the honor of Whitehelm is at stake. I pour through my databanks, reviewing combat after combat, enemy and friend alike to think of who would be a good fit. There are already so many powerful beings here, it will be a challenge to come up with something worthy of the honor of Whitehelm. Then an idea forms, I launch several driller drones out sending messages, the reply is instantaneous and positive. Rock worm and Deep Borer have joined my team! Back to you @PowerPlay ---

The competitors are gathered in the compound’s courtyard early in the morning to await instructions on the day’s events. Despite it being barely past dawn, a few of the competitors notice the sky is still dim, like a dark stormcloud, but there is no cloud in sight. The usually-smoking volcano that is such a signature to Broken Spire lays completely dormant. “Say @Machiknight, does this land not seem… Kysterian?”, mutters @Tacet. “The fear of what you are to face clouds your judgment @Tacet, do not try and apply your games of the mind on me.”, @Machiknight responds coldly. The cloaked figure has been circling the competitors the whole time, but not one has noticed it. Suddenly, a familiar presence is felt by the figure and it rushes towards the doorway back into the compound, brushing by @yonizaf. @yonizaf recoils, having felt like someone touched his shoulder, but nobody is within reach. The cloaked figure notices this, grabs an amulet around it’s neck and vanishes without a trace. The Commissioner and her assistant then arrive and the competitors turn to pay attention to the day’s instructions… ---

Now is the time for Power to take a legendary, and the one he had mulled over just moments before. Power Play commands Sheggra to join his ranks, confident the red gem-to-skull monster can help with skull damage generation. Herdmaster looks surprised at this, unsure of where Power wants this to go direction-wise. However, Herdmaster trusts Power knows what he wants… he thinks. He leaves the commish to announce the next pick. ---

@Bobomb hasn’t been on for the last 2 hours and no post since 5 hours. Hopefully he did his pick ahead of time or we may be waiting a while. xD ---

I noticed right away of course. Barometric pressure, temperature, altitude, everything was different. I wasn’t quite sure what was going on, but I knew we were no longer at the spire. This must have something to do with the games, some way of reigning in the disastrous calamity that all of the powerful beings together could create. The Commish, he would be the one to know what was going on. I would have to find him, and get my questions answered. Another issue nagged at me as well. This hooded figure appearing throughout the periphery of my sightorbs. I could never really get a good look at it, but it had a vested interest in all of us. Perhaps there is a danger here. But what would be foolish enough to attempt harm with the might of every living thing here? ---

Hopefully he did his pick ahead of time or we may be waiting a while. xD Doing a second round pick ahead of time would be pretty difficult, unless you had some completely un-meta team build in mind (like some people 😛 ). ---

> [@actreal](#): > > Doing a second round pick ahead of time would be pretty difficult, unless you had some completely un-meta team build in mind (like some people 😛 ). I’m pretty sure no one will pick a single troop from my intended lineup. My backup picks are even more unlikely to be picked. xD ---

Trailing behind the **Green Seer** is a hideous beast. An arachnid of huge proportions, an Ultra-Rare **Giant Spider**. The power of the mysterious green jewel is particularly strong and might be a clue to these strange sightings and happenings. * * * The Commissioner speaks the gathering in the courtyard, _“Competitors, take heed and venture forth not blindly, but with the knowledge that although a competition of combat, it is your mind that will lead you to Glory”_ * * * @actreal, you are on the clock! * * * ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/0/0dca2ecf780f51c91db4f03a7681cca84313ff59.jpg) ---

The hunter-from-shadows wields no magic but her own blade, so it appears Actreal will need to apply his own sorcerous skills, hard-won in the caverns of Karakoth. To those who have returned to the Arena from the previous tournament, the pentagram he sketches on the earth seems familiar. Amongst many daemonic sigils, the watchers see at each point a symbol of powerful magic: the waves of Anu, leaves of Yasmine, flames of Gard, pentact of Stonehammer and sunburst of Orpheus; at its centre, the crescent of Morthani. The familiarity becomes clear to all as the pentacle smokes black and then glowing green. From the cloying cloud, emerald tentacles reach forth, suckling at the earth around the daemonic design, straining to haul from another plane… **Green Slime**! * * * O presenter of both videos and odd draft choices, @Tacet, you are next.
