[quote=@Drifting Pollen] IIRC I didn't say death was an absolute necessity... only one fighter being unable to pass. So if Trixi was crippled, restrained, or simply forced to turn back, then Gonad could probably go on. Or vice versa. Not exactly sure what you guys are planning here... [/quote] I'm innocent in the plotting behind a GM's back... for a first!!! Currently from what I got it sounds like Gonad wants Trixi to tag along and observe the finals is how I read it. Then likely teach her when the tourney is over. (which might be best done in another thread as I'm a bit curious myself and unless Trixi dies, she won't return to her world). However I'm pretty sure this makes her a Fallen which has it's own issues as she can't challenge anyone who's not also one. At this point I think it's clear Gonad is going on. However Sam, IC wise, would only know what you stated ICly for the mountain and since things like this tends to be demonic in nature, he assumed the worse. My only question is do I need to continue posting or what since Gonad won?
