I'm not keen on tracking down and murdering some random people either. But I don't plan on letting one of them murder me either.

Well, what, a third of the world's population is evil, and another third is neutral.  We just have to make sure the evil guys kill off the neutral guys, then kill the evil guys to avenge the neutral guys.  And I guess some of the neutral guys would kill off some dudes at random as well.  So as long as we only kill off hypothetical team(s) evil, we should be completely fine, morally and numerologically speaking.

Dalanath's brow furrows.  "Morality is relative, and I care not for your concepts of good and evil.  Then again, I don't care for any concepts of good and evil.  My main concern is that my mental energy has been drained, how am I to defend myself?"

"The groupings were in an effort to increase survival chances; they have no bearing on the outcome.” Turning to address Danus, “If you wish not to put one of these on and join the others, you will be left in this room to die of dehydration and starvation.” And then turning back to the group, “You are in no way required to kill other contestants, but as long as more than six of you live, none will leave.” Turning towards Dalanath, “You will be given a sporting chance of course, the draining was a side effect of the transportation.”

Hey you. looking at the imp Is the door open now and where is our stuff? I doubt your master would be entertained by a bunch of people incompetently beating on each other.

I say we deal with the other groups once we get there. How about we keep ourselves alive, find the exit, and if there are even 6 left by that point we can discuss what to do.

"You will get through that door, only by wearing one of these.” The imp holds the strands up again.

He reluctantly takes one of the offered strands of beads, giving it a look brief look over before slipping it around his neck.

Galon sighs and takes a strand, tying it around one of his spines. "at least they make decent Spine jewelry"

As the end of the strand touch, they fuse, forming a seamless adornment, tightening down to skin and spin, leaving no room for anything underneath it.

“You two may proceed.” Stated the imp, as it gestured towards the door.

He gives a few testing tugs to the bead strand around his neck. His frown deepening as he stepped towards the door.

"Aye, I too would like a chance to rest and pray"

Galon pokes the beads on his spines a couple times before answering.
"I'm a friggin' skarn! What more do you want? If thats not enough, I can also bind the essence of magical creatures to empower myself further. I'm going to need some time to do that though. I'm Galon, by the way; the rest of us should introduce ourselves if they haven't already."

Puts on beads.
I can't let you guys go out there without someone who can take a punch, though Galon looks like he can give one. Once I have my gear think of me as a portable wall that hits back.

Chauser puts the beads around his ankle, where they'd be easy to hide.  

"Chauser Verde.  Trapfinder, lightning eater, jack-of-all-trades.  I can break a stack of bricks with my forehead.  Anyways, we should probably stay in here until we're rested up.  It wouldn't be that entertaining to put us in mortal peril right away, and I feel a little tapped out."

Having finished his duty, the imp made ready to leave, but paused a moment. With wave of his hand a small breeze passes through the room, in the direction of the door, which opens just a crack. “You may do as you see fit, with what is left of your lives. Now I bid good day.” With a pop, the imp disappears.

"I am a humble servant of Pelor, my name is Danus Fieldman." pausing briefly before continuing "The creature said we'd be given a sporting chance, lets collect our gear before we make any decisions. There may be a more comfortable place to rest beyond the door."

Stepping up to the now opened door he pushes/slides it open only wide enough to peek within the next room.

As before, just shy of the door Danus’s hand meets resistance and the runes flare, but this time on the pulse’s return nothing happened, or did it? Another orb, on everyone strand, is now aglow.

Danus’s peek affords him a view of a dully lighted room, with what looks like a table against the wall.
