Our Ms. Noir must have a lot of work to catch up on.....

That's ok, Rayne is wrapped up in a new mmorpg. I'll have to pry her from it when the next challenge comes up.

It's this one isnt' it?

http://www.ponystars.com/

C'mon, you can tell us.

If there's not blood, gore, and monsters then she's not interested.


I actually got an ad from acclaim in my email for that pony game. I couldn't handle that level of gay.

I thought I was the only one that'd heard of it, and I only knew because pennyarcade did a comic about it.

One of the games I play is by acclaim, so they send me updates and offers all the time. They also got something like ddr, oh how I dislike ddr.

Let me in, let me in.... I got wasted by a boy and his primate.

Well, our estimed hostess is MIA for the time being....

That gives me time to catch up on whats been happening.

I am very sorry to be MIA for so long, but I came down with a very serious cold over Memorial Weekend. I don't have internet at home, so I had no way to post and today is my first day back in the office.

I'm doing much better now, though still on cold medicine. I have over a week's worth of work to catch up on so I will be posting this last challenge's results by Friday and have a new challenge up next week.

Sorry again. :o

YAY! I'm just glad you're back! Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon also Pap.

:)

That was actually lucky for me that you haven't been keeping it updated. My internets been down and I was worried I'd be dead before I got back.

Thanks guys :) I'm getting better, but it's slow going.

I will try to do the write up on the results today and post this afternoon or tomorrow.

Also, with Battle Royale for the Living winding down, there will only be two or possibly three more challenges for BR for the Undead, with some more changes after the next challenge.



Oh, and one more thing, since we are on the home stretch for Battle Royale, no more invitations will be sent out for future participants.

Well fine! I didn't wanna be in your stupid BR for the undead anyways!

There are only two challenges left, I didn't think anyone would still want to play this far into the game. Aw, do you want to play? :p

well, I'm gonna die before the last one.

Glad to see you back, Noir.

Thanks Cactus :)

Results of Catacombs Outing #7
 

The Deadites enter the Catacombs, bringing with them their last remaining bulletproof vest and the revolver.

Nemesis enters the Catacombs, both teammates splitting at the fork and heading to different sections.


Dude Guadalupe enters the Chapel.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...e/chapel-1.jpg

He glances around briefly before going up to the altar. On the altar are four spherical indentations in a ring: Red, Blue, White, and Green. In the center of the ring is a black stone pyramid.

Pausing as he pulls out the blue orb from his pocket and places it in the blue indentation. The orb glows as the blue liquid inside swirls before going dark and still.

Dude frowns slightly before catching a small movement out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turns and sprints towards the chapel entrance cornering Cactus as he attempts to escape!

Dude hacks at Cactus with his sickle three times, damaging his arm before the sickle breaks. Cactus runs down the tunnel, away from the Chapel as Dude laughs manically.


Cactus doesn't run far down Tunnel Section B before running into Rayne! She smiles evilly and hacks into Cactus three times as well! Her sickle breaking, she leaves him there in the tunnel, slumped against the wall.

Severely injured, Cactus uses his remaining re-animation packs, but it isn't quite enough to put him at full health.

Neverending - Full Life +2
Cactus - 9/10 Life
Fortunato - Full Life +5

Here's a quick review of Bludgeon, Scythe, and Shroud:


So we will be using this as a tie-breaker throughout the rest of the game. Bludgeon, Shroud and Scythe is play just like Rock, Paper, Scissors. Bludgeon breaks Scythe, Scythe cuts Shroud, and Shroud covers Bludgeon.

Each member of a team must send me a PM with their choice of Bludgeon, Shroud, or Scythe. The first PM I receive from each team will be counted as Round 1. If there is a winner of Round 1, that will decide the tie-breaker.

If Round 1 is a tie, then second PM I received from each team will be counted as Round 2.

Since Fortunato sat out for this challenge, he will also be sitting out for Bludgeon, Scythe, and Shroud.

If all the team members have sent me their choices and the rounds end in ties, that challenge will be scrapped without an outing in the catacombs and no rewards will be given. We will then continue on to the next and final challenge.



So, Deadites and Nemesis send me your choices individually via PM. If Bludgeon, Shroud, and Scythe is not completed by tomorrow, June 12th, at noon EST, this challenge will be scrapped.

Shroud covers Bludgeon so the winner is the Deadites!


Details of what the Deadites were awarded and Catacombs Outing #8 after lunch today!

Hahahahaha

Urg...I was going to pick scythe, but I based my choice on the thought that no one would choose shroud...Dammit...Always stick with your FIRST instinct...

Catacombs Outing for Challenge #8
 

Nemesis visits Weapons Assistant Earl who hands the team one revolver and 1 bullet.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../3062636-1.jpg

As per last outing, the revolver is for defense only and not for hunting. The gun carrier must PM me that they are carrying the gun. The gun will automatically fire at the hunter who fire the first two shots at the carrier. The gun will not fire if a teammate is being shot.




Status Update:

Rayne - Full Life +3
Dude Guadalupe - Full Life +3

Items: N/A








The Deadites meet with Weapons Master Bob to go over their new weapon for this outing--a .50 caliber Desert Eagle Pistol.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...e/IMGP0785.jpg

These pistols are equipped with two bullets each.




The demon Belial will still be wandering around.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ned_overse.jpg

He only attacks hunters (which is you this round), and will only attack you if you stumble upon him in the Catacombs. If you stumble upon him, you will just piss him off and he will blast you, lowering you 1/3 of your total hit points.


So the Catacombs have been divided into 4 sections: The Ossuary (new section), The Chapel, Tunnel Section A, and Tunnel Section B. Now both of you can be in the same section or different sections or wherever you want, just as long as it's in one of the 4 sections.


Deadites, PM me with your victim(s) for you 2 shots and the section you will be in. You also still have a vest, so one of you may include it in your PM that you are the wearer.




Failure to notify me of your victim and/or section, and Chimera will be unleased upon the entire team, taking away 1/3 of your total life points.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...le/chimera.jpg



For Winning Challenge #8 each of you receive 2 reanimation packs, and your team receives a White Orb with some swirling mist inside.

Status Update:

Neverending - Full Life +4
Cactus - Full Life +1
Fortunato - Full Life +7

Items: Bulletproof vest (3/3), white orb



The deadline for both teams is tomorrow, June 13th at noon EST.


Happy Hunting! :)

Is fortunato hunting?

Yes. Results of the Outing up in a minute.

Pretty long minute. :mad:

Results of Catacombs Outing #8
 

Nemesis enters the Catacombs, bringing the revolver with them. The two teammates split at the fork in the tunnels.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...le/tunnels.jpg

The Deadites enter the Catacombs; one of them wearing the vest. They also split at the fork.


Fortunato quietly heads down towards the Chapel.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...e/chapel-1.jpg

As he enters he sees Rayne standing at the altar with her back to him, inspecting the black pyramid and the circle of indentations surrounding it. One of the indentations has been fitted with a blue orb with swirling liquid.

Fortunato sneaks up behind her, saying, "Finding anything interesting there?"

She gasps, turning as he empties his two rounds into her side as she starts to run. Clutching her side she flees the Chapel. Fortunato grins maliciously.

Casting away the pistol, Fortunato turns towards the altar. Lifting the white orb from his pocket, he places it in the white indentation. The white mist inside the orb swirls and glows as the blue orb glows as well before both orbs grow dark.

"How dare you defile my place!" a voice belows from the entrance.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ned_overse.jpg

Fortunato turns and sees Belial sending a fireball directly towards him. Fortunato ducks behind a pew.

Belial closes in towards Fortunato, who makes a dive for the entryway as Belial shoots a fireball at him. This time it connects and singes Fortunato as he makes his escape.




More to come...

Time runs differently here. :p

Hang in there Fortunato!

Results of Catacombs Outing #8 - Continued
 

Fortunato runs down the tunnel before stopping a short distance away to assess the damage. He peels off the bulletproof vest from under his clothes, it's usefullness now spent. He then repairs the rest of the damage with some of his re-animation packs.



Meanwhile...

Neverending hunts down Tunnel Section A, closing following the panicked footsteps of his quarry. He corners his quarry against a wall--it is Rayne!

Recovered from her first brush with the Deadites, but now low on re-animation packs, Neverending mercilessly shoots Rayne twice in the chest, emptying his pistol.

The force of the gunshots knocks Rayne back, stumbling she steps on an unmarked switch on the floor. The wall behind her begins to open inward. Not sticking around to find out what is behind the door, Rayne continues deeper into the tunnels.



Neverending peers into the dim light of this new room. It takes him a moment to realize that this room is the Antechamber.

There is movement as a figure emerges from the shadows. Neverending raises his pistol to shoot and then remember it is now empty, tosses the useless weapon aside.

"It's about damn time someone opened the door," says the figure as it finally comes into the light.

"Ferretchucker?" Neverending says, incredulous.

"In the flesh," Ferret says triumphantly, he is covered in blood, but on second glance it does not appear to be his. The Antechamber seems to covered in the blood, flesh, and guts of something.

Ferret notices Neverending's gaze around the room. "I wasn't alone in here," Ferret says as he nonchalantly picks his teeth, "so I got a little bored and a little hungry."

Neverending smirks as he leaves, saying "How nice for you."

Ferret smiles after Neverending exits the room, pulling out a green orb with what looks like loose dirt inside.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...eorb_earth.gif

"Yes, how nice for me," Ferret says as he glances around the room. "Thanks, Goblin," he remarks as he leaves the Antechamber.


More to come...
