==Transcript==
===Introduction===
You stride across the mountaintop, towards the great platform and the teeming crowds. Glory awaits you. An acknowledgement of your-
"Oi! You!"
Pounding footfalls make you whirl round. A band of athletes assembles in front of you, and from the expressions on their faces they haven't come to wish you well.
"Yes?" you say.
"You don't deserve to be up here!" a woman says. "You cheated!"
"Yeah!" the others chorus.
"I won the events," you reply. "If anyone shouldn't be on the summit, it's you people. How did you even... Oh."
The satyr gatekeepers loom up behind the athletes, with sneers on their brutalized faces. And then everyone seems to shout with a single voice.
"Get him!"
===Conclusion===
"What lessons are you sending to future generations of young athletes?" a woman asks.
"That I'm great," you reply. You kick her legs out from under her, then stomp on her head.
"I trained for ten years, and you stole my chance at glory!" a man exclaims.
He launches a punch. You sidestep and elbow him in the temple.
"You've ruined the good name of athletics!" the first gatekeeper wails.
Both satyrs charge. You thrust your hands forward. A bolt of eldritch might hits each of them square in the chest. They go flying.
After that, the rest of the athletes scurry away -- contenting themselves with cursing your name instead of trying to destroy your body, which suits you just fine.
