Björn to Rock

Björn to Rock is the second round of The Vivacious Deadlock.

Description
This round is set in the middle of a war between the Thünderwölf clan and the besieged city of Santa Nada. The war has been going on for so long that their culture now revolves around it. In this world weapons do not exist, music is a weapon. All weapons have been converted to musical instruments.

Events
The Spectator has gone missing, Crowe wants to find her so he goes to Phere for help. She claims that she knows where The Spectator has gone, in order to secure his assistance. In Santa Nada Cascala has become attuned to the music that is the essence of this world, Klendel hangs around with Harmon and refuses to ask her a question, Nalzaki is mistaken for the god of music and Cedric fights people with music. Ivan fights vikings on a boat.

As things progress Phere becomes paranoid of Crowe and what he might do to her when he finds out her deception. The shamaness of the Thunderwolf Clan tries to counteract a grim prophecy by attacking Santa Nada in the hope of capturing the other contestants. Everything goes tits up when the vikings get hold of an ancient weapon known as The Symphony. It is a destructive being made from music that can be controlled if someone is willing to be consumed by it. Phere is selected to be sacrificed, but Crowe rescues her.

Back in the Spectator's Tower Phere is mocked by the tower itself for the scale of her ambition and her lack of knowledge how to achieve it. Nalzaki, Harmon, Cascala and Klendel all work to bringing the Symphony under control. It is touch and go but they manage it. Nalzaki is drained of all his power and dies.
