"Now, I'm sure you're all wondering why you've just been tied together. Perhaps asking yourselves where I might be going with this? Well, I remind everyone that the theme for this round of the Tournament is COOPERATION. So, I thought an all out brawl is a bit standard, but if you throw in some jolly cooperation things get much better. To keep everything interesting, that vine binding you all to your partner is somewhat tough, but not enough to stand up to a weapon strike or both of you pulling each other in the wrong direction more than a few times.
"If the vines holding you together get destroyed in any way, well, then you're a Nigel No Friends and we can't have that. Leaving your partner behind isn't in the spirit of cooperation is it? So keep your enemies close, but your partners closer! Good luck with your planning and praise the sky!" finished Thyme as they posed, reaching up to the clouds before vanishing in a flash of light.
