Battle Grounds #1

My current location is on Dark Island, preparing the tournament. My assistant, Allen Darks (the owner of the island), has been gracious enough to provide me with a map that I could post. The selection for preliminary battle grounds are also shown.

  1. Grounds A: Hoodoo Canyon--Rock formations jut out of the sea in this area. It might probably be slippery for contestants. I'll put up a wet floor sign.
  2. Grounds B: Abandoned Port--Allen told me that the Spaniards and Islanders used to habit this island, but mysteriously vanished. The port is much a ghost town now.
  3. Grounds C: Tide Pool--The island has a narrow peninsula that partially folds into the ocean. The submerged dunes serve as homes for sea life.
  4. Grounds D: Gulf Peak--A spectacular area (my personal selection) consisting of a wide scape of beach with a tall stone peak serving as a backdrop. The perched gulls and hanging tresses of vegetation also contribute to the dramatic battlefield.

Invitation

This was the invitation sent out to tournament contestants a while ago.

To whom it may concern,
You are cordially invited to attend the Dark Roulette Tournament, a no-rules, no-halt Battle Royale hosted on the Castle Roulette on an isolated, non-commercial island in the Pacific. You have been selected to contend based on your fighting prowess and noteworthy skill. Think of our tournament as an opportunity for you to exceed your own boundaries in combat. As I am sure this in itself may not be a tasteful incentive to some, we are offering a large cash prize or any other prize to the champion of the tournament.
To register as a contender for this tournament, you must summit and application and turn it in to the tournament representative who gave you this letter. The application must be on an 8 ½’’ x 11’’ sheet of paper and must include the name of the contestant, a short summary of background information, a short summary of personality information, as well as a detailed description of attacks/weapons/or fighting techniques. This data must be supported with a full body picture of the contestant, either a back or side full-body picture of the contestant, headshots of the common facial expressions of the contestant, and detailed illustration of attacks/weapons/or fighting techniques. The application must be filled out and turned in by October 3rd without delay.
You must also include a means of audition for the tournament—this part is up to you. As this is an underground and particularly hush-hush tournament, it must be something inconspicuous yet grand enough to get our attention.
I hope you consider participation in this tournament. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

With the best of luck,

Roulette
