“Wherever blood runs quick and eager, the motes seem to cluster in to watch. They are easy to herd into the cage while they do.” Tenacious nods at a small, cleared area.

“Show me what you can do when it comes to a fight! If you don't want to take on another kin, you can test your strength against my dummy; the louder it resonates, the stronger the strike!”

---

This Dice Game asks you, as one of your kin, to show off the strength of their blows! You can play either against another user, or as a solo. If the total of your RP reaches 500 words, thin will count as a req toward Legendary Ascension as either an RP or a Solo, depending on your choice.

In order to play, you'll start by heading to the Roleplaying Forum and making a new thread with [COMBAT HELPER] at the start of the thread title. Then you can choose either to play solo or to enter the challenge against another kin:

SOLO CHALLENGE:

Spoiler

• Instead of facing off against another player, you face off against a Kin that has been assembled from loose wood into a rough figure.
• Roll 5d6 to produce a hand of 5 dice. If there isn't an ace (1) among the rolled numbers, your kin has failed to strike; reroll 5d6 until there is a 1 in the roll.
• The object is to accumulate as many of a kind as you can, where Aces (1s) are wild. The highest possible hand is 5 6 s (4 6s and an ace/1 with a hand of 6, 6, 6, 6, 1).
• After their initial 5d6 roll, the player is allowed two more rolls, setting aside the dice they want to keep (always including at least one ace) so that their final roll is exactly 5 dice, one of which is an ace (1), with as many pairs of any number they can save. Make sure to say which dice are being saved/rerolled!
• Add up the total of whatever number your kin has acquired the most of; if you exceed 10 points, your kin has destroyed the dummy!
• Win or lose, collect one ticket for the contest via the form below.

EXAMPLE: Badgerlock attacks the dummy; he rolls 5, 1, 5, 3, 2. He keeps 5, 1, 5, and rerolls the 3 & 2. Then he gets a 4 and a 5; now his roll is 5, 1, 5, 4, 5. He rerolls only the 4, and gets a 2. His final roll is 5, 1, 5, 5, 2. He has 4 fives (the 1 is wild!), so his result is 20; he wins!

VERSUS CHALLENGE:

Spoiler

• Each player rolls 1d6 to determine which kin moves faster; the player with the high score goes first. Alternately, you can agree that one player goes first if you'd prefer.
• The first player rolls 5d6 to produce a hand of 5 dice. If there isn't an ace (1) among the rolled numbers, your kin has failed to strike; reroll 5d6 until there is a 1 in the roll.
• The object is to accumulate as many of a kind as you can, where Aces (1s) are wild. The highest possible hand is 5 6 s (4 6s and an ace/1 with a hand of 6, 6, 6, 6, 1).
• After their initial 5d6 roll, the first player is allowed two more rolls, setting aside the dice they want to keep (always including at least one ace) so that their final roll is exactly 5 dice, one of which is an ace (1), with as many pairs of any number they can save. Make sure to say which dice are being saved/rerolled!
• The second player rolls 5d6. The second player is allowed just as many rolls as the first player and no more.
• Add up the total of whatever number your kin has acquired the most of; higher number wins!
• Win or lose, collect one ticket for the contest via the form below.

EXAMPLE: Badgerlock attacks Kick in the Teeth; he rolls 5, 1, 5, 3, 2. He keeps 5, 1, 5, and rerolls the 3 & 2. Then he gets a 4 and a 5; now his roll is 5, 1, 5, 4, 5. He rerolls only the 4, and gets a 2. His final roll is 5, 1, 5, 5, 2. He has 4 fives (the 1 is wild!), so his result is 20.

For his turn, Kiick in the Teeth attacks Badgerlock and rolls 5, 6, 6, 3, 2. Unfortunately, he hasn't rolled a 1, so he rerolls *all* his dice. His second roll is 6, 1, 4, 4, 3. He keeps the 4, 4, 1, and because Badgerlock rerolled, he rerolls the 6 and the 3. He gets 5, 2, and because Badgerlock rerolled a second time, he rerolls them both again, getting 3, 5. His finally roll is 1, 4, 4, 3, 5, for a total of 12. Badgerlock wins!

Please use the form below: You can enter this contest up to three times and can use the same kin or different ones, but please put each entry in its own post.
If you hit word count, this can count as a Legendary Ascension requirement!
If you'd like, you can use the same thread for all three battles, as three separate bouts between kin -- but in that case, this RP can only count once per kin toward Ascension!

Each entry in this RP will also grant you one Glow, a ticket toward the final Glow Raffle!
If you're only entering for Glow, and not for the prizes on offer, simply say so in your preference list.

This contest ends on October 18th at 11:59 PM EST.
