You are dropped into a field. You are wearing jeans, a t shirt, and tennis shoes. You are fully rested, hydrated, and fed. There is nothing around you that could be used as a weapon or tool.

Surrounding you completely is an infinite army of 5 year olds. They begin to come towards you with the intention of killing you.

It is impossible to escape in any way.

They will arrive one at a time. You have 10 seconds with each one before the next one arrives.

How many do you think you can take out before they overwhelm you?

So, they come at me B-movie henchman style? And bullshit about no weapons. I'll pop bones out of the sockets of skeletons if I must.

You'd get overwhelmed by 5 year olds pretty quick, of they want to kill you. You'll do well for about 90 seconds but as soon as a few of them pile on at once they'll start going for eyes and balls and it's all over.

I think the kid bias of not wanting to hurt a child would do most everyone in pretty quickly. Inside of 2 minutes I'd be done. Probably less time for it to be all but over, but I give myself a minute or so of just dying.

You can do that, but you have 10 seconds per kid, so when will you have the time?

How long before your arms get tired swinging your club?

Well, it's all just a matter of time. I figure about 5 minutes before you hit the ground and get swarmed. Maybe longer if you're a top level, Olympic athlete. I could see them and some UFC guys going 30 minutes or more.

I don't know. Like is this endless? Do I think there's a chance of escape? I'm definitely using some 5 year old kid parts as weapons. Do the kids have any kind of free will?

Yes, no, no.

Can you quickly stack dead 5-year-olds as a barricade slash choke point, perhaps with a rudimentary lathe?

That 10s hurts. Maybe if it were 30s.

I cast my "charm person" special ability each turn and eventually even out with an endless bloodmatch of 5-year-olds.

Oh, we can do that? I cast raise dead after.the first 5 and a defensive Perimeter around the survivor create.

I wonder how long it would take to kill a 5 year old.

(Wait, why are the police at my door now?)
