The First Mighty HDC Battle Royale for the UNDEAD!

[ferretchucker]

Hurry! I'm going to bed soon.

[neverending]

It ain't happenin today, dude.

[Papillon Noir]

All the contestants enter the Catacombs.

As they reach the fork, they pause looking questioningly at one another. Even though this is now an individual challenge, it seems that team loyalties still run strong.

Dude and Rayne, former Nemesis, turn to fire their revolvers at the former Deadites: Neverending, Cactus, and Fortunato, and former Cenobite: Ferretchucker, but their revolvers jam.

Fortunato gives a sly smile to his teammates, saying to Rayne and Dude, "Run, prey."

Rayne and Dude, looking uneasy, run down deeper into the tunnels. The
Deadites and Cenobite stalk after them.







Fortunato pulls ahead of the group as Rayne and Dude enter the Chapel.



Fotunato fires his 3 shots at Dude entering the Chapel behind them. Rayne and Dude scramble behind pew, but Ferret enters and manages to get 2 shots off at both Rayne and Dude.


Ferret attempts to go after them as Rayne and Dude exit the Chapel, but Neverending stops him, "let them go for now," he says as he pulls his red orb out from his pocket, "We have more pressing matters here, don't we?". Neverending eyes Ferret suspiciously.

"What?", Ferret says.

"We know you have the final orb," says Cactus, "You're the only one that's been down here and stuck with that thing in the Antechamber."

Neverending places his red orb in the red indentation on the altar. The other two orbs glow as the fire inside the red orb ignites before going dark.




The Deadites look to Ferret. Ferret rolls his eyes before taking out his green orb, "Fine". He goes to place it in the indentation, but Fortunato catches his hand.

Eyeing one of the chest, Fortunato says, "Let me try at one of the chests first...just in case". Ferret just shrugs.



Fortunato kneels in front of the chest and picking the silver key, attempts to unlock it and it won't budge. "No luck," he says.







Ferret places the green orb in the indentation. All four orbs start to glow and the black pyramid in the center starts to open, filling the Chapel with a white and blinding light.

Cracks of lightening come from the opened pyramid and a thunderous roar as the demon Astaroth appears out of the light in all his flames and glory!



Neverending whispers, "My God, what have we done?!".

Astaroth speaks, looking at Neverending, "God is not here."



The Deadites and Cenobite flee the Chapel without looking back.




I'm sorry I have to run, the rest tomorrow morning, I promise :)

[neverending]

...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Another demon!

[Papillon Noir]

The Deadites and Cenobite race through the tunnels and into the Antechamber. They stop, panting.

"I can't believe there is another demon loose," says Cactus.

"Well, this is the Final Outing", says Ferret, who then receives dark looks from the Deadites. "Hey, I'm just saying what you all are thinking," he continues.

Cactus goes over to the chest by the entryway to try his luck with a silver key. The key doesn't move.

Before Cactus has a chance to comment, Rayne and Dude stumble through the entryway. Without hesitation, Cactus puts 8 bullets in Dude and 2 bullets in Rayne.

Ferret chimes in as he dumps two more bullets into each of them as they run off. "C'mon, we can catch them," Ferret says as he starts after them.

"We can, but you won't," Cactus comments as he dumps his remaining 5 bullets into Ferret.

Ferret's eyes widen in surprise before he takes off after Nemesis as Cactus laughs evilly.







The Deadites stalk after Ferret and Nemesis, with Neverending in the lead as they their time entering Tunnel Section B.

Neverending peers around the corner as he sees Ferret patching himself up with his remaining re-animation packs. He walks quietly to Ferret, commenting to him "Those won't help you now," as he dumps 15 bullets into Ferret, dusting him completely.

Neverending continues down, Fortunato and Cactus falling behind. He hears arguing--Rayne and Dude.

"It's your fault, they're hunting us now," Rayne spats at Dude.

"Oh, like you've been a big help," Dude retorts.

"Fighting amongst ourselves now?" Neverending comments as he steps forwards, a slight smirk on his face, before shooting them both with the rest of his bullets, dusting them both.


Behind where Rayne and Dude were standing a moment ago is the chest. Neverending kneels in front of it and tries the silver key. The key doesn't move.

Neverending starts to rise as the demon Belial comes out from the shadows. "How dare you enter my realm!" Belial bellows, shooting a fireball at Neverending.



The fireball hits him in the chest, but he moves quickly to escape the next one and out of that tunnel section.

Quite the read, killer job Noir.

Congrats to our Final Three! :)


The Final Three in the Final Challenge go and visit Weapons Master Bob to get their Desert Eagles!



Neverending receives 13 bullets, Cactus receives 8 bullets, and Fortunato receives 3 bullets. This distribution is based on the results from the Final Challenge.




There are now only 4 areas that are available within the Catacombs: Ossuary, Chapel, Antechamber, & Tunnel Sec. B. Multiple contestants can occupy the same area.


There are still locked chests in each area. Each chest comes with 3 keys: gold, silver, and brass. You each get one chance to pick which key opens the the chest in the area that you are in.

There are multiple chests in each room, so you need not worry if someone hasn't gotten there first as you only get one shot at opening the chest. All contents of the chest and the type of key that opens it are identical to those in that area, but are different in the other areas of the Catacombs.

Inside the chests are weapons, though there may be one or two that are empty.

If you open a chest with a weapon, whatever damage points that weapon may possess will be inflicted on your victim. If there are multiple victims, the damage will be dispersed as evenly possible and in the order that the victims are named.

Since none of the chests were opened last outing, the key that opens the chest and it's contents will remained unchanged except with the inclusion of re-animation packs in addition to weapons in the chests.


Also, Belial is still roaming.



If you run into him he will hit you with a fireball and lower your total life points by a 1/3.



Chimera is also still roaming as well.



If you run into him, he will also lower your total life points by a 1/3. So be careful out there.


As for Astaroth, his involvment in this is still unknown, so you'll just have to see what happens if you run into him.







So, PM me your choice of victim(s), which area you will be in, and your key choice for that area.

Your Deadline is tomorrow, June 26th at noon EST.



Remember, the winner of Battle Royale is the person left standing with highest total life points at the end of this outing. It doesn't matter whether the other contestants are dusted or not. There can also be a tie for the winner.
