Chapter 1346 Chapter 1346 Treasure Hunting Questions!

?--- Lily ---

Marigold was the first to ask a question, "So what exactly do you mean by 'damaged'? Like, if I use on of the treasure swords and they get a slight scratch on the blade does that count?"

"Absolutely anything counts as damage," said Thyme firmly. "If it gets a scratch? Damaged. A chip? Damaged. A hairline crack? Damage. You sneeze on it and the snot is visible? Damaged. Of course, you can clean off that last one, but that's the thing isn't it? If you can repair any of the items before they are presented to me then they don't count as damaged.

"Hand off will be IMMEDIATELY after the timer runs out. So you'll need to ensure that everything is in working order and spotless before the buzzer goes out if you want full points for the treasure,"

Nell quickly put her hand up and Thyme nodded in her direction. "Staying on the 'damaged' thing, I just want to clarify that there's no sliding scale? As long as it still works it's still worth half a point?"

Thyme let a small smile grace their face as they nodded. "Indeed. If something is already damaged then you don't need to worry about it too much as long as it's not completely broken. Just keep in mind what constitutes 'broken'. Something that only sort of works might still be broken depending on its function,"

Marigold raised her hand up and waited for Thyme to call on her so she could ask another question... but instead Thyme motioned to Romilda who also had her hand raised. "You mentioned there were transformation items. How do they interact with other treasures?"

Thyme shrugged and said, "That's a surprise you'll have to figure out yourself. Perhaps they will react well with some and poorly with others. Who can say. All I'll give you is that none of the transformations are toggleable. You should be able to change back and forth. Perhaps not easily, but it's certainly possible if you can figure it out,"

"Wait," said Nixilei before realising what she'd just done and closing her mouth. Asteodia gave her a pat on the head as Thyme looked over and gestured for her to continue. "Um sorry, I was just surprised that you had a physical rulebook that went into such details, then I realised I didn't wait to speak, and THEN I realised that you might have just been doing this as a visual gag,"

Thyme shook their head as they shut the book and explained, "No, no. The book isn't actually as wet as it looks but otherwise this is the real rulebook. I have to submit it ahead of time so that the council knows what I plan to do, including all sorts of little contingencies for breaking ties and what not. I'm allowed a little bit of leeway. Like for example the event you and Asteodia participated in. I specifically allowed for a tie if two people work together, but I didn't specify how many points that should get out. Two each? First and Second place, 3 points, divided by two? One point each, and then one for second?

"It's a bit of a push and pull. I can do little things without opening myself up for review, because I'm not perfect. I'm good, but not perfect, so when there's something I didn't account for I can make a judgement without fearing reprisal... but at the same time, if the change is too big or it directly contradicts a rule as written in the rulebook then I can be in all sorts of trouble. Nothing too serious for me, but a massive pain to deal with. So I don't!"

Thyme looked around for the next person and Lily was surprised to note it was Kat. Lily shot Kat a confused look but the demon just smirked back until Thyme pointed in their direction. "What happens to the treasures that you have on you when you're removed for medical reasons?"

"They will drop in place where the person was swimming when they were transported away. Other contestants are free to pick them up if they want. Of course, the competitor that has just been removed can also pick them back up when they're returned to the arena," explained Thyme.

This prompted Marigold to raise her hand again, which got a chuckle out of the dryad. "Where do other people get sent back in if they get removed from the arena?"

Thyme's laugh double in volume when they heard the question in full. "That's some confidence there. Everyone going back in will have the chance to pick from a few options. The first is right where they were removed, or in the case of a net-out, as close as possible to that spot but within the net. The second option is to be placed in a random section of the netted area, and the final option is to be placed in the exact centre between all other contestants.

"Though a word of warning. You'll be going into all of these locations blind and only the random option guarantees that you won't immediately end up in a fight. While random, it sets you at least two hundred metres away from all other competitors if possible. If that isn't possible it checks the five furthest spots from everyone and choses on of those at random.

"If you pick the centre point, you could be dropped right into the middle of a fight, and if you chose to go back to where you were removed, you could be walking right into an ambush. Unlikely perhaps, but very possible,"

That though gave Lily an idea so she raised her hand. When she was called on Lily asked, "So, is it possible to build like a sort of... nest of items and guard that? Would that count as being in your possession?"

"Yes it definitely would," said Thyme. "Though other people can contest that claim and your claim to those items would require at least some level of proximity. If you were removed from the arena, or your hiding spot was no longer inside the arena then it wouldn't still be your items,"
