[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5734002, member: 60965"] [B]Match Three: Pillars of Doom, Round 0[/B] Eventually the group is led to the next arena, to find it full of 20-foot tall pillars of stone, with wooden planks placed between them to allow access. At the base of the pillars is a strange sparkling fog, hiding whatever lies below from sight. Once the group is in position, there is a sudden blast of wind that blows down all the planks as an announcer's voice booms out: "We have an exciting fight for you all today! I'm sure you've been following Team Gil's Conscience and now we have their final match. All we need from you is... what should there be below the pillars?" The crowd doesn't get it for a moment, then call out "Fire" "Ice" "Poison" "Bats" "Churches" "Very small rocks!". Eventually the mob settles on fire and the sparkling mist flares up red just as the foe enters the arena. [GM]Position yourselves on whichever pillars you want.
