List of Tributes
This is a list of all the tributes that took part in the 72nd Hunger Games.
† Death due to inactivity.
Arena
The Seventy-Second Hunger Games took place in a swamp themed arena. Every night swarms of mosquitoes attacked the tributes, if they did not have bug spray in their inventory (obtained from the bloodbath).
Areas
Cornucopia
What was once a thriving, luscious oak tree now lays in ruins. Vines have made their way along what remains of the leafless branches, spreading along the trunk like thick rope. The tree towers several stories above you, most of it swallowed up by an ever-present fog. Along the hollowed innards of the gray bark are various treasures, most notably: weapons. But who knows what other treasures this cornucopia may contain, have you the courage to look.
Cypress Swamp
Hot and muggy, this vast landscape feels like a sauna throughout. It smells of musk, moist plant life, and muddy earth. There is not a dry spot in sight, save for the trees with thick bottoms and narrow trunks that are nearly impossible to climb. They are often slippery to the touch, coated in green, organic material. While they are impressive, they offer little shade from the sun, so skin continues burn skin tributes continue to sweat through their clothes. This may be the stickiest area yet, but there is plenty of thriving wildlife and plant life to offer. Just be wary, because the bigger the swamp the meaner its residents.
Mangroves
Like spiderwebs the branches tangle overhead, the only light peeking through the thick bramble are slivers of a winter sun. Water covers most of this area, it reaches about your ankles but you find yourself sinking into the swamp mud anyway. And _thump_ just like that, one step forward and you find yourself plunged in to the darkness, blood rushing in your ears as water surrounds you. There's no telling which areas are shallow and which lead into a suffocating abyss.The sour stench of swamp water follows you everywhere you go and the thin branches seem to catch the threads of your garments almost on purpose. Perhaps there is no escaping the mangroves once they have you in their grasp.
Sinkhole Springs
A cavity is carved into limestone bedrock, surrounded by the driest grasses in the arena. Inside is a deep pool of the clearest water in Panem. Undisturbed, it resembles a sheet of glass through which tributes can see the jagged bottom. While there is nothing to fish, the water itself is already clean, purified, and safe to drink without concern for contamination. But beware, the ground is not as solid and steady as it appears. One wrong step could lead to disaster.
Flooded Grassland
Miles of waist high grasses stretch toward the horizon. The combination of maize-colored blades tickling skin and wet clippings clinging to ankles will label this area the itchiest. Every inch of the landscape is flooded, but never reaches higher than the knees. The water is as unappetizing as it looks, and is incapable of being decontaminated. It will be poisonous to any tribute who dares consume it. And that isn’t the only thing to worry about; the land may be flat, but there could be critters lurking wherever the tributes may travel. Tributes should always look before they step.
Sawgrass Marsh
Wider than its adjacent grassy companion, the sawgrass marsh looks like an extension of grassland invaded by murky waters. However, the grass here is taller and sharper, capable of causing discomfort if tributes aren’t careful. This area is riddled with open expanses of collectable water, and the air is thick with an unpleasant, muggy vapor. On evenings it is practically foggy. Tributes shouldn’t get too comfortable with the treeless marsh. After all, looking above the water and the grass does not tell you what hides within.
Fresh Water Slough
Barren. That is all that comes to mind when you stumble upon the Sloughs. Grass, cut clean across like a razor to hair, deep puddles bleeding into the marshland below. Deep forest colors give way to that of straw and maiden's braids, of wheat that has long since been taken by the winter's frost. The only break from this monotonous scene is that of the sun's reflection rippling across stagnant water.

Bloodbath
The 72nd bloodbath is notable for having zero deaths.
After The Bloodbath
Due to their being no deaths during the bloodbath, tribute hunting was in order. The Wallflowers, Outlanders, Swamp Awakens, Scout Fray and Noelia Tibideaux all targeted The Silence in the Cypress Swamp, killing every member in the alliance. Dying first was Andesite Obsidian who was killed by Noelia Tibideaux. the final hit being a deep gash on right bicep. Second was Lemon Cake who was killed by Kite Tide by a shallow cut on right forearm. Finally Carrita Nessage was the last member of The Silence to be killed in the tribute hunt by Timothy Feldon. The final blow that killed her was a broken right collar bone.

Andesite Obsidian, District 2, Cypress Swamp
Lemon Cake, District 12, Cypress Swamp

Day 2
Four fights took place in different areas on Day 2. In the Sinkhole Springs, The Swamp Awakens and The Wallflowers were up against each other. Iain Miristioma, Henrietta 'Hettie' Cheyne, Delta Castley and Basil Anatola, were all taking the majority of the damage in the fight. An immolation on Delta ended the fight which was caused by Cecilia Brontz. Ezero Laffan punched Cecilia in the ribs breaking them, due to her killing his ally. The Swamp Awakens soon fled, leaving the Wallflowers with the burning body.
Meanwhile, in the Freshwater Slough, Outlanders and Lennyface were up against each other. Celia Mortuus, Quardys Lexig, Kite Tide and Amerika Eckhart were the ones receiving the most damage. The fight ended with Celia inflicting a shallow cut on Quadrys' chest, ultimately killing him.
In the Mangroves there were two fights taking place. The Swampwives were all up against two Hellcats, which they killed easily. While Eryn Sconoscuito was up against a Sun Swarm which she defeated.
Day 2 deaths:
Delta Castley, District Nine, Sinkhole Springs
Quadrys Lexig, District One, Freshwater Slough
Day 3
At first light on the 3rd day, the swamp waters will bubble and stir. From their depths the whites of bones will emerge, plated armor stretched across the rib cages of skeletons. Remnants of old, decayed flesh still dangle from their fingers and jaws, and each wields its own warrior's sword. These skeletons will visit tributes in any area who aren't mandated with other tributes. To defeat them, tributes must attack the pieces that hold them together; the armor.
Six fights took place during Day 3. In the Cypress Swamps, The Swamp Wives were up against 3 skeleton warriors.Atticus killed one,Sol the other two. In the Sinkhole Springs, the Swamp Awakens were also up against three skeleton warriors, Hettie Cheyne killing them all.
Meanwhile, in the mangroves the Wallflowers were up against 1 skeleton warrior and 2 lesser dragipedes. Basil killed both dragipedes while Ezero killed the skeleton warrior. Over in the flooded grassland, Lenny were up against 1 skeleton warrior and 1 bloodfeaster. Scout killing both of the muttations.
Two fights took place in the Sawgrass Marsh. Eryn Sconosciuto was up against one skeleton warrior but she defeated it. The Outlanders were up against 1 skeleton warrior and 1 nightwing troll. Before they had the chance to kill the mutts, the skeleton warrior decapitated Timothy Feldon with its sword.Dane ended up killing both of the mutts.
Day 3 deaths:

Day 4
During day 4, three fights took place in three different areas. In the Cypress Swamp, The Swamp Awakens were up against The Swamp Wives as well as a crocolisk. The fight did not last long as Sol Shim stabbed his flaming spear into Cecilia Brontz's thigh, ultimately setting her whole body on fire.The rest of the Swamp Awakens fled the scene while the Swamp Wives killed the mutt.
Over in the Mangroves, Noelia Tibideux was up against one spiting raptor. Following many hits, she was able to defeat the mutt.
Finaly, over in the flooded grassland another fight was brewing.Kite Tide, Dane Allore, Celia Mortuus vs. Danny Brooker, Ezero Laffan, Basil Antola vs. Scout Fray vs. Amerika Eckhart vs. Eryn Sconosciuto. The clusterfuck was very close however Danny Brooker laid the final blow on Dane Allore with her throwing knives, ultimately killing the District 10 tributes. All the survivors fled the scene.
