The day was unlike any other, generally an ordinary day in June included sunshine, and brisk open skies. And yet somehow, for some reason, on such a lovely day the day was cast with dark gray ominous clouds, one could distinctly hear the clouds gathering their thunder, not quite yet though.. for now they just held on, waiting until perhaps the days events began.
Murphy sat at the newly erect platform, just on the outskirts of the forest, feasting himself on a carton of spicy chicken wings. Beside him sat four of the tributes, a rather daft looking bloke named Judge representing Slytherin house, a foolish looking girl named Olive Greene representing Gryffindor , a nervous looking Daniyah Ohme representing Ravenclaw, and finally a useless looking girl named Cosmo Vonnegut to represent Hufflepuff. It wasn't exactly Murphys idea of an entertaining group, but he figured at the very leas three of them would no longer be part of them so he was okay with it for now. Hovering just above the heads of the four tributes was a strange mirror like reflection of the crowd before them, almost as if that wispy vector was projecting just exactly what the four tributes was seeing... yes.. perhaps...
When the students finished assembling before him, he kicked the three legged stool containing the Sorting hat, waking the tattered old hat from its slumber. It almost looked as if the hat had glared at Murphy (if he could) but after a moments hesitation on the hats part, he cleared his throat rather royally and began:
"A quill.... an inkwell, a scroll of parchment paper, and a cauldron. Such ordinary items, and yet they are not quite so. This is after all, a magical school and even ordinary items hold their wonders. You four have been called for the greatest testament in your youth, a battle of brains, a battle of power, but most importantly a battle for HONOR.
So I proudly state for all before, Let the games BEGIN"
"Well" Murphy grumbled, grabbing the hat off its perch and used it to wipe the spicy red sauce off his lips, after a quick swipe up and over his mouth he tossed the old ratty thing over his shoulder and addressed the crowd, "You heard the man, BEGIN" without giving the tributes much of a heads up, Murphy snapped his fingers and they seemed as if the very chairs beneath them had vanished, but when one looked at the chairs, still before them, it was hard to believe that was the case.
Where then were the four tributes?
.... Somewhere within the forbidden forest...
The four tributes dropped from the very sky, each a good distance apart from the other and at the middle of them all, a chest with the four objects as announced by the sorting hat.
(OOC: Excuse any typos or whathaveyous. I'm a bit distracted by the new cat lolol )

Rules:
1) Your first post is kind of an opening & also your opportunity to pick an item. I have these items randomized 1-4, so pick a number at the end, no two members can pick the same number. After which all items will be announced and each member will get a PM about their item.
2) The only way to win is to kill. Yes, that means three of you will die. Sorry. But don't worry, Murphy has something in store for you.
3) Attacks should end in a die roll. The results will be similar to the ones back in dueling with some changes:
4) Have fun. If there are any questions/confusion please feel free to message me.
The battle will go on for as long as it does... unless its too long??? lol. I don't want to rush things but I also don't want it to stagnate. Any participant who doesn't post at all or is like basically never posting in the game will get insta-deathed by Santa.
Lurves you all. Have fun!

1 Play fails dramatically (Your items magical ability does not implement AT ALL)
2 Play fails badly (You hurt yourself)
3 Play fails narrowly (You trip/miss by a thumb )
4 Play succeeds barely (not exactly as you planned)
5 Play succeeds (YAY SUCCESS)
6 Play succeeds dramatically = KO (if your attack rolls this on your victims they are deaaad)
