"You could definitively say that. And I've never seen such disregard for the dead." Sitting down onto his haunches, frowning as he looks over the disregarded corpse. Turning back to the very much so alive person." So what are you?"

"As some of you already know, my name is Unthulsira, (Hermaphroditic) Goddess of Decay." She smiles. "Welcome to K'siil Galrym. For one of you, a vacation. For the rest of you, prooobably your final rotti- er, resting place."
"This little puppet's about to get rough!" -Dr. Steel
"Ooooh, this place sounds fancy. Do you happen to have any relics lying around? Y'know, any of the cool ones? Hell, I'll buy them off you if you want! What kinda currency do you t-" He looks down at his pouch, glancing at his ointment and nylon string. "... Right."
"Scratch that, I'll do it bareback."
<Insert Cool Song Here>
"Sounds unpleasant. Hardly an expected welcome. Guess that means no skeleton pilot." He frowns momentarily, before letting his eyes sweep around at the others without turning his head to check reactions.
Lloyd opens his mouth and does a completely perfect (and somewhat disturbing)impression of Unthulsira's voice. His words are mocking and uncharacteristically preppy. ". . . I said resting, but I'm positive you all heard 'rotting' first. That, like, totally wasn't intentional; I must be so antagonistically clever!" He quiets down, rolling his eyes. Reminds me too much of Nyarlathotep, he thinks. That egotistical bastard.
Dani levels his eyes with Hers, "That still doesn't answer the question, though. Why are we here? I don't imagine it's to draw straws or play Rock, Paper, Scissors." He looks briefly to the others, looking for some affirmation that he's saying what they're thinking.

"You may take the skeleton, Sialis."
The goddess locks eyes with the shoggoth. It's surprisingly void of malice. "That's quite the impression, 'Lloyd'. I look forward to seeing how you fare. By the way, the color was a tad off."
Dani gets a smile. "Don't you remember, Dani? You're here to kill each other. For your own selfish goals and my amusement."
"This little puppet's about to get rough!" -Dr. Steel
Lloyd gestures to the young human thing, but keeps his eyes on Unthulsira."If we are being punished, and if our punishment is equivalent to all the wrong we've done throughout our lives, may I please be excused? You see, I was in the middle of eating when I was abducted."
"Kill each other? Why would we want to do that? It seems like a silly notion to do it for selfish reasons." Huffing softly, looking at Her with a mixture of disgust and confusion.

Faust looks amongst the others. Then looks at /her/ "Ist dis really for just your amusment? God of Rot...You say das dis ist a vacation, but you slipped your verds. You almost said rotting place, didn't you?"

"Yes, yes. Those are all very good questions~ No, Dani, none of you are being punished. I chose each of you randomly. Mostly due to your wills to stay alive. Hopefully, at any cost. You see, I desire what other gods have- a champion! But the head of my cult is weak. Nowhere near fit to be called my harbinger. And so, the winner not only escapes with their life, but also a grand prize." She smiles and offers a hand to Faust. "Would you be a dear and help me up please, Laurenz?"
"This little puppet's about to get rough!" -Dr. Steel
"Champion? Must be more to it. Would not be very amusing as things stand." Continuing in his cryptic speaking style, the scientist shrugs and gives a toothy grin. "Does not even seem fair to the quadrupeds. Winged Beast might have best advantage. Green one doesn't seem smart. Strong looking though. Might be stronger than me. Good test."
Mumbles to himself," That in it's self seems like a death sentence." Rubbing his head lightly as he thinks of how stupid this is." Besides, what reason would I want to be your champion?" Looking over to the only other horned one," You may not believe it, but Magic is more then just a " fake attack". I'm pretty sure I'll be better off then a few of the others here."

The goddess begins to laugh. It is a cold, hollow sound, joyous or not. "Ms. Faust, if you were going to just wake up in your beds whenever you died, you would all just jump out of my window! Where is the fun in that?"
"This little puppet's about to get rough!" -Dr. Steel
"Perhaps window would be preferable for some. Am willing to offer help to those that do not wish to participate. Could be a decent warm up. Would mean less mess to clean up later." The troll gives a manic, toothy grin and turns his gaze to the unicorn that has been speaking with him. "Winged variants will prove most annoying. Might throw horned one like spear. Could prove entertaining."

"Iz goodz ah killin'!" The ork exclaims, punching the ground enthusiastically "I dun want tah be a champiun tho. I just wanna smash n leave 'ere." He really should get back to the WAAAGH!!! Against the puny humans that stood in his way.

Faust nods to the Goddess. "Very well." she looks amongst the others. "Although it seems that the odds are stacked against some of us...And if you are truly looking for a contest, might I suggest a much larger arena like kreig?"
"... And if we refuse to participate? If no one fights, there can't be a winner." He looks briefly to the others again, eyes lingering on the horse cowering in the corner. "There has to be some other way."
"Dani, don't be stupid. This isn't necessary for her. If none of us actually fought, she'd just kill us and bring in a new group. Not that complicated." Ryn grimaced as he thought over the situation. He's had a bit of fighting experience from some bar tussles as well as some tribes when he was scouting abandoned territory... But this was different. This was a forced fight to the death against others that might not want anything but to get away. Why couldn't this be easier?
"Scratch that, I'll do it bareback."

"Dani, do you not wish to see your father again? Perhaps... free of your bondage? Ryn, you seek treasure, do you not? Headkrumper, as my champion, you would obtain the greatest strength and flashest lewt of any ork before you. Lloyd... Let's be honest, sweetie, you would kill them even without my asking. And Ms. Faust..." The goddess smiles. "The fight will not begin immediately, nor will it happen within this tower. You will have free reign of the area surrounding the capital. Plenty of time and space. For now, you will get to know each other as you explore. Some of you may form temporary alliances. But you may not harm one another until I say. Is that clear?"
"This little puppet's about to get rough!" -Dr. Steel
