The Lord of Games, Prince of Jest, and Duke of Lies sends his humble servant to your great city. I will hold the most fantastic games ever shown!  There will be intrigue, murder, and plenty of blood! Our contestants have yet to be determined; you dear reader may receive an invitation soon.

The winner will receive gold for themselves and glory for their faction.  For the losers, nothing will be gained from this most wonderful game.

For our soon to be contestants, this most enthralling event will come tomorrow, tween peak and anti-peak!
(This event will probably happen Monday or Tuesday evening. There will be five to eight slots open and nearly any character is welcome, though paladins might have issues. The game rules will be explained at the beginning of the event. If you'd like to learn a bit about the game beforehand you can view the rules for the table top variant here.

This event should happen between 7 to 8 PM tomorrow (Eastern: GMT - 5).)

Colo Lane examines the advertisement with a look of disdain etched upon his features. Thinking out loud, he mutters to himself:

"Hmm... despite the promises of murder and blood, this sounds rather harmless. I guess that's why it bothers me more than an overt threat would."


Perhaps Lane is especially bothered because he is no stranger to deception. Resolving to keep a watchful eye on the event, he plans to do what he does often in the bazaar: dress as a portly commoner, and patrol in disguise. Individuals are much more likely to engage in wrongdoing when they don't think a Harmonium officer is watching.

Dear future contestants, stay ready. The next Greatest Game Ever Played will happen soon.  Grab gladius and buckler, it's time for the Colosseum!
(Thanks for everyone who played, I hope you enjoyed yourself. The next one will be something different, and probably will probably happen for a week or two.)

Theme fitting song =)

[align=center]Ode to the Greatest Game Ever Played
by Mirth

It all started in the bazaar, right by the bar.
The game master of so shady, but it didn't seem to bother the lady.
To put it all into proper start, he questioned who would like to take part.
Of us there was ten, roughly half of them men.
With portal it took us elsewhere, to some kind of empty city square.
Then we were told the rules, part of us felt like taken as tools.
Two of us would be were-being, rest of us to attempt the village of this menace to be freeing.
Each was given a role, and even false memories to make the game hole.

Following is the fame, in the memories game.
The ogre Nagu was creature of wandering, with a halfling man Zeb why some were pondering?
There was Samen with reputation ill, keep an eye on him people will.
Then came this small child, by name Chiriu and personality quite wild.
Neelis controlled the town butchery with a cleaver, it was left to see whether he was griever or receiver.
Of course can't forget Kala the healer, our towns medical dealer.
Alista a Mother, her husband died time another.
Next was Arthur the town guard, and me I was a bard.
Left there was Jall the villager, who knows perhaps she was the pillager?

The start of day one, the start of villages shun.
To the village had started to spread, the spree of newly dead.
First of the clue, to the butcher drew.
Killed in the market place, cleaved neatly was the only trace.
For now it was let to be, perhaps there was no reason for lynching degree.
So passed another day, hopefully no other death that people could pray.
Then another one was foudn dead, the ogre without his head!
Again a neat cut, but once more they chose no one to gut.
Then it became to another sun rose, and finally the villagers actions froze.
The corpse of Samen gave us a spook, and the sight nearly made me puke.
Long heated debate, was had to lift this village from its weight.
Alas once more there were no actions, but a lot of lonely interactions.
To the guards place I tried, to sleep during night to hide.
I wasn't intending to die, but his only reply to me was bye.

As it all changed to another day, one more had fell as a prey.
The town had been rid, of this Chiriu kid.
Oh how her mother did mourn, and clearly vengeance sworn.
I also nearly cried, I didn't want to be fried!
Now it was time to vote, to cut this menaces throat.
That began a major chafe! It had to be the man that was supposed to keep us safe.
Cause of this drama, perhaps because of past trauma.
Arthur the villagers did lynch, though away I did flinch.
He had not been the one, oh dear soon we'd be none...

Next morning had been griveous, as had been found the body of Neelis.
And we were down to five, while rest of us wanted to survive.
Nobody was sure, whose intents were pure!
Even I got accused, crying and weeping I refused.
Then it was time for a vote for the gall, this halfling Jall.
Reluctant I voted yes, she was probably source of the mess?
And then she was killed, oh we had been quite skilled.
Now there was only two, ah... of course this was our cue.
No more petty lies, or dramatic cries.
It was time to remove the disguise, and bring out their demise.
The source of the strife, had been me and the wife.
The village was done, and we had won.

Of course it had all been a game, we had earned some fame.
Surely I can't stay too silent, it had certainly been quite violent.
Perhaps the best portrayal, is that of light-hearted betrayal.
Everyone were okay, no one did we really slay.
Oh yup, and then in the inn we woke up.
Despite the gruesome end, I'm quite glad I did attend.[/align]
