This tower is located on the northwestern corner of the city wall. It
serves as a strong point for the backside of the city. To the northwest
lies an expanse of desert while luscious jungle surrounds the north side of
the town. Far off to the north can be seen a large mountain with a tower
stretching into the clouds.
[Clan 7] Azuren .oO Ice Princess Oo. is here.
A dodgy fellow stands here, offering you something.

Azuren begins to play a tune on a steel harmonica...

[*]<2242hp 2414sp 1512st>
Azuren has completed her song.
Azuren stiffens for a moment, then blinks and shakes her head.

[*]<2242hp 2414sp 1512st>
'All righty now, who wants to participate?' a dodgy fellow asks. 'Just raise your hand, and we can start the game in a minute or two.'
'All right, now let's explain the game.' a dodgy fellow says.

[Clan 7] Azuren .oO Ice Princess Oo. is here.
A dodgy fellow stands here, offering you something.

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
A dodgy fellow arranges all of the players in a rough circle.

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
A dodgy fellow walks around the group, turning everyone around so they face outwards.

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
A dodgy fellow says, 'When I start the game, the lot of you will move towards one another, but in such a way that you can't see your proximity to one another.'

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
Azuren tentatively raises her hand to volunteer.
A dodgy fellow says something to Azuren.

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
'Just as an incentive to play with me, I will pay you to do so, and for the sake of suspense, your pay will be directly correllated to how close to the rest of the players you are when you leave.' a dodgy fellow says.

[*]<2244hp 2416sp 1522st>
A dodgy fellow says, 'If every player but one bows out before they collide, that last remaining player gets a higher pay than anyone bowing out possibly could, awarded as winners should be.'

[*]<2246hp 2419sp 1529st> {+2hp +3sp +7st}

A dodgy fellow says, 'However, because you cannot see where you are going, you do not know when you will collide- and if you collide before bowing out, the game is over and I pay you nothing.'

[*]<2246hp 2419sp 1529st>
A dodgy fellow chortles satisfiedly.

[*]<2248hp 2422sp 1535st> {+2hp +3sp +6st}

'Weigh the odds: the further the game goes on, the likelier you are to hit one another, but you retain the ability to win the greatest amount.' a dodgy fellow says.

[*]<2248hp 2422sp 1535st>
'On the other hand, if you bow out, you're guaranteed payment, although less than what you could have.' a dodgy fellow says.

[*]<2248hp 2422sp 1535st>
A dodgy fellow shrugs helplessly.

[*]<2248hp 2422sp 1535st>
'Have fun!' a dodgy fellow exclaims.

[*]<2248hp 2422sp 1535st>
A dodgy fellow runs tapping players on the shoulder, starting the game.
'Hey!' a dodgy fellow exclaims. 'You're our lone remaining player, and thus our winner, Syll!'
For having the skill and luck to survive a harrowing game of chance and blind courage, a dodgy fellow has granted thee a mark.
You have been granted the Mark of Prophecy!
You gain 100 practices!
'What a great game!' a dodgy fellow exclaims. 'Oh, the suspense! Ohhhhh, the TRAGEDY!'
A dodgy fellow says, 'I love this stuff.'
A dodgy fellow walks away, rather pleased with himself.
