Game Summary:
Note: Subjects were informed of the game’s nature, rules, and the number of victory conditions that could be met. Researchers encouraged subjects to go for different victory conditions. SCP-9500 proclaimed it was going to attempt the Mr. Coalition victory condition. SCP-9733 proclaimed it would attempt the Mr. Finder victory condition. SCP-9200-5 proclaimed it would attempt the Mr. Genocide victory condition while looking at SCP-9500 who proceeded to give a rude gesture towards it. SCP-9200-5 clarified that it was kidding and was also going to attempt the Mr. Finder victory condition.
The players are dropped outside a snowy village with several red tendrils protruding from the main entrance. Several malformed animals are seen grazing in the distance and do not interact with the players and are assumed to be outside flair. The three secondary players proceed in different directions. SCP-9500 encounters several hostiles on the board resembling red, malformed, flesh constructs. Luz plays the “Walking Forest Fire” companion card, allowing most of the hostiles to be quickly incinerated, although SCP-9500 does take damage from being in the companion card’s range of effect. Luckily, damage is mitigated due to SCP-9500 being equipped with the “Jacket of the Immortal Dragon” equipment card prior to entry.
SCP-9733’s pathway is blocked by debris. SCP-9140 plays the “Walter the Wonder Wabbit” companion card which assists SCP-9733 by devouring nearby objects and materials to make searching for the hidden item easier. The rabbit thumps excitedly.
SCP-9122 drew the “Call of the Horde” misfortune card which caused all hostiles in SCP-9200-5’s immediate area to converge to its location. SCP-9200-5, being equipped with the “Edgelord’s Bustersword” weapon card, cleaved through several hordes of flesh constructs. It comments on the familiarity of the flesh construct’s composition.
The players continue to play as normal for several rounds, attempting to fulfill their chosen win conditions, until SCP-9200-5 encounters the “Red Temple” structure card. SCP-9200-5 approaches the temple and is met by "The Priest" enemy who has a large scythe drawn. Instead of attacking, "The Priest" beckons SCP-9200-5 to enter the "Red Temple." It is led inside and sees several malformed flesh constructs sitting in rows of seats making grotesque noises that SCP-9200-5 assumes to be prayer. It is led to a pulpit that holds an old wooden box. SCP-9200-5 looks to "The Priest" who gently nods and decides to open the box. Inside is the “Iun’s Blessing” fortune card. SCP-9122 comments of being unable to read the script. SCP-9200-5, however, is able to recite it out loud. SCP-9200-5 proceeded to float and repeat the scripture as if in a trance. It was at that moment all hostiles began to spasm uncontrollably before beginning to float into the air and converge to SCP-9200-5. SCP-9200-5 is seen floating out of the temple while several of the entities began to merge together as if their flesh was made of clay and formed a massive humanoid figure with SCP-9200-5 being seen in the middle partially assimilated.
SCP-9200-5 turned to the other’s position and swung a massive, flesh tentacle to swat the others into the horizon, hitting the invisible dome and depleting their remaining HP and winning the game.

Audio Recording Transcript Excerpts:
SCP-9500: This is really weird.
SCP-9200-5: This is making me really nostalgic. Reminds me of Christmas back home. Except for the lack of bloodcurdling screams.
[Bloodcurdling screams are heard in the background.]
SCP-9200-5: Nevermind. This place is perfect.
Luz: You guys look so cute down there! Uh, wait. Is Vee okay?
SCP-9500: Vee you okay?
SCP-9733: It’s really freaking cold. I’m a reptile. Why did we have to get the board covered in snow?
SCP-9200-5: It’s probably warmer in the village. Terraformed flesh hives are usually able to regulate environmental heat.
SCP-9140: I might have some equipment that might warm you up if that’s not the case.
SCP-9733: Willow said we’re going to kick your asses.
SCP-9140: Vee!
(Note: Secondary players can only hear the commentary of their primary player.)
SCP-9733: She said we’re going to DOMINATE!
SCP-9140: Stop!
[Silence.]
SCP-9140: I mean, we are, but still.
SCP-9122: Wow.
SCP-9733: Hell yeah, Willow!
Luz: Hunter if we win I’ll give you an extra one of my sweatshirts to sleep in this week.

[SCP-9200-5 swats the two into the horizon.]
SCP-9500 and SCP-9733: Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit-!
[SCP-9500 and SCP-9733 strike the barrier and their remaining HP is depleted. The secondary players are teleported outside the game arena to the primary players. SCP-9500 and SCP-9733 are lying on the floor and are heard groaning.]
