Karin's agitation faded away as the fourth fighter entered the lobby. Once redirected to the fighting board, she lost all traces of expression and readied herself as she was the first one to start.

-Karin ends turn
So he was the "new guy" on the board. Yes, it sucked. It sucked even more that he hadn't really done his research prior to entering the games. But when your Kiki (daughter) asks with those wide eyes and trembling lip, who would really refute? Granted, the more he looked into this game, the more he questioned his parenting skills. What dad, in his right mind, would let his little girl what a show called "THE HELL GAMES."
+1 for coolness
-1 for parenting
River, the "Blue Knight" as he declared himself, was trying to get a feel for everything that was happening. Had he not arrived late, he might have had a chance to get to know the other players. But he was too busy making sure his daughter was in safe hands as he "played" the game. Passing fro the lobby and onto the board, the blue player found his blue square. So far, so good, he thought to himself.
And then things started. He watched as the first player made her move -- she just advanced. Easy enough. If that's all the game entailed, following commands and moving, he wouldn't be at much of a disadvantage. Or at least that's what he was thinking.
Taking one step forward toward the direction of a gray square, River took to his knee. Lowering his head and ending his turn, he awaited what came next.
- River moves one square forward (-1 STA)
- River ends turn
Zabeth looked around the stage as she noted the tiled grounds. She imagined that under a real match, she'd get to see some form of hologram depict a background or another for entertainment purposes, but right now she was happy with the way things looked. It was simple, she could see the size of the tiles she could move on and she could see the other three players from here. All in all, it was a relief. Calmly, she listened to the narrative instructions and briefly paused on the matter of dice rolls.
"What...?" She let out with a puzzled expression, but regained her senses when she saw that two of the players had already made their moves. "Oh... right." With that, she looked around her and noted a weapon tile on either side. It didn't seem to really matter which way she was going just so long as she got to one of them. "Hmm..." She thought, pressing a finger to the edge of her lips before finally stepping towards one of them, trying not to tense up too much.
-Zabeth moves two tiles rightward. (-2 STA)
-Zabeth ends turn.
Sasha paused for a moment as he entered the room, nipping his lower lip as his eyes opened wide. This was the stage of his first appearance in hell games and although the practice round would not be televised, it was one hell of a rush. "This is awesome!" He allowed himself to think as he struggled to maintain his stoic exterior. He watched as the other three players moved and analyzed the situation. "My best chance is to get a weapon from the start."He thought as he analyzed the area. Clearly, the area around him was different from the area around the other contestants.
Perhaps this was an opportunity to showcase his jumping ability. "Well, might as well..." He thought as he stretched a little before hopping across the hole tile, then headed quickly towards the weapon tile in front of him. "I can appreciate a good advantage..." He uttered as he rose his hand, waiting for the weapon to be slowly hovered down like it usually did on the show.
-Sasha jumps over the hole above him (-1 STA)
-Sasha moves up 2 tiles (-2 STA)
-Sasha ends turn on weapon tile.

BEGINNING OF 2ND TURN
"Hm. . . two then six. . . I guess I have a resurrection idol. Good thing too. My HP isn't very high." Karin muttered to herself before taking a deep breath and hopping over to the tile on her left. "A weapon's tile. . . Wonder what I'll find. . ." she muttered.
-Karin moves one square to her left, expending 1 Stamina
-Karin lands on weapon tile
-Karin ends turn
Still not quite sure what was happening, he just rolled with it. His dice number didn't come up after all (thank god!), which meant he was safe to move as he pleased. So, with that, he stepped forward two squares. Thinking back to his last turn, he kicked himself mentally for not moving forward two. Had he done that, he would have landed on a weapon by now -- or at least the gray tile before him.
What was hiding before him. He was just one step away from whatever the heck it was and it was killing him. With a concentrated exhale, he calmly rationalized to himself. "Good things come in time. Can't rush everything now, can we River?"
- River advanced two spaces to the left (- 2 STA)
- River ends turn
Zabeth took another two steps up and landed on a weapon's tile. Smiling faintly as she did so. "Alright..." She let out to herself, looking forward to whatever would come from this. She shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair as she rose her hand to collect whatever weapon was to come down. She was anxious to see. Hopefully she'd have something better than Sasha did, at least she hoped so. "Come on..." She let out, hoping for a good item.
As she waited, she finally understood the thrill of this little game. A part of her knew she was right. This would give purpose to her anger and - potentially - be the perfect place for her to take it out. "Give me something to break!" She let out mentally, unable to express physically the sort of rage she was experiencing.
-Zabeth moves two steps on (-2 STA)
-Zabeth lands on a weapon tile.
Sasha took hold of the weapon and nodded. This would indeed prove to be a useful tool considering his base recovery was so low. All in all, he could not have asked for a more useful weapon. Swinging the weapon around to verify its weight and balance, he found himself relieved that the blade wasn't too heavy or light to be held in one hand. If he was to hold only one weapon, he would be left at a disadvantage against the other players. "Alright... this'll do." He finally let out before analyzing his position and opting to move one square up, one step closer to his next weapon.
From his position, he looked back to the square on which he had stood and realized it had become white once he took the weapon. "I guess those are one time things..." He thought to himself upon making the realization. He then turned to Karin. Her ability was to Juggle, so there was a chance she could end up with 3 weapons and someone on the playing field would only have one. The odds pointed to River, but at least he'd remain out of arm's way so long as he didn't arm himself. Then again, Sasha wondered what happened if two people moved to a weapon tile on the same turn. Did it count as a fight?
-Sasha keeps Vigor Sword
-Sasha moves one step up (-1 STA)

BEGINNING OF 3RD TURN
"Sweet! Let's see. . ." Karin exclaimed as she took ahold of her new weapon. She never thought that all that weapons practice could affect her ability in battle. She let a grin play on her lips as she moved left. Two squares in between her and the fourth player. Because the bow was a ranged weapon, she was allowed to attack from that space. Remembering a few things that were told to her, she laid in wait for her opponent to make a move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Karin moves one square to her left, expending 1 Stamina
-Karin ends turn
Woo. He was going to be the first to die. Well, that was if he played his cards wrong. He was at a unique advantage right now. He didn't have a weapon and that meant she couldn't attack him, at least without gaining a penalty. Of course, looking at the gray square in front of him, River wasn't certain he should take that leap forward. There was a chance it could lead to his demise. He was still down one STA. Not moving would allow him to recover that. But moving allowed him to pick up an item. He could always attack; he did have a ranged attack at all times. But that seemed... cruel.
Gah, decisions!
She gave him the benefit of the doubt so he would return the favor. With a polite head bob, River ended his turn. As he shifted into his end of turn position, he cast his head up just for a second to give Karin a sincere smile.
Perhaps these kids aren't as bad as they seem.
- River does nothing and ends turn.
Taking hold of the weapon she'd just been granted, Zabeth could not help but give a small smile. Had she been able to, she would've been absolutely ecstatic. Her one weak point was offensive capability and she'd just gotten a boost there, plus she'd just received what speed she needed to cross to the next weapon tile in one move. This was turning out to be a great turn of events. "I like this sword..." She simply uttered as she tested the edge against the floor below her, making a small cut in the concrete. "Good enough." She followed through with, running her hand through her hair before making it to the next gray tile in a single bound. She didn't fully understood how a sword managed to make her faster, but it did and she was plenty thankful for it. "Too bad I can't keep you..." She let out, again, to herself as she hugged the blade close.
-Zabeth keeps Robin Sword
-Zabeth moves 3 tiles to the right
-Zabeth ends turn
Sasha would cross the distance which separated him from a second weapon with a smile. He had no particular reason to wait any longer and the idea of having two weapons was a doubtlessly satisfying one. Once he was at the desired spot, he looked around to analyze his enemies. Elizabeth had the charmer boost which made it impossible to attack her first, Karin had a ranged weapon and River was weaponless, meaning he was not a possible attack target. This was a bit of a shame for Sasha as with a second weapon in hand, which he hoped would be an offensive one, he would be left with a sufficient attack power to take out one of the two former in a single blow and would have the kind of power necessary to no longer be intimidated by Zabeth's massive health and wall capacity which limited damage.
Considering River's equally impressive range and the fact that Karin had the juggler stat, his choice of first target was self evident although unenviable; he would have to attack the bow and arrow girl. Unfortunately, he would have to be careful in doing so as although he had great power, her range made it so that two attacks from her would be enough to take him out and he did not have the require stamina to chase her AND block or dodge incoming attacks. The way he saw it; Sasha was currently in the least enviable position among his possible opponents... Unless.

BEGINNING OF 4TH TURN
"What the!?" Karin panicked. She knows she can't die that way and that she's at full health, but that was bad. She heaved an irritated sigh.
"You've gotta be shitting me. . ." she hissed out loud as she moved two squares to her left, ending her turn.
-Karin moved two spaces to her left, expending 2 stamina
-Karin ends turn
Keeping things simple, River stepped forward one square so he would land on the gray tile. He didn't want but he wasn't about to go anywhere else. These other players all seemed to be moving in on his location. There was no point in standing still for much longer.
- River moves to the left on square
- River loses 1 STA
- River lands on the gray tile
- River ends turn
"Huh..." Elizabeth let out pensively as she took hold of her new weapon, observing the gauntlet with an intrigued expression, she decided to put it on and "Agh!" Suddenly, the gauntlet tightened around her arm like a vice-grip and she could feel something did into her skin. "Ouch..." She whimpered, taking hold of her numbed arm until the pain gave away to power. "Awesome..." She could not help but mutter as she examined the item once more, now on her arm. This and her sword would make for a nice combination. Even blocked, one of her attacks would be enough to slay another player without any major difficulty.
"What to do now..." She thought, looking around and finally furrowing her brow as she found her target. She moved three tiles to her left, then used the speed bonus of her weapon to go two more tiles up without expending stamina. "Let's do this."
