Bious, having gotten his shield yanked from him, cursed at Angelpalm. “Fuck,” he said. “Looks like I’ve got my replacement Vynce.” Using a sharp rock, he crossed out the scabbed over ‘Vynce’ cut into his forearm, spilling fresh blood out of the wounds. He then proceeded to write a new name: ‘Angelpalm.’ He smiled, and licked the blood from the wounds, to give himself power. He then grabbed a Net discarded nearby. “This should work nicely…” Orochizoolander, creeped out, snuck away quietly while he wasn’t paying attention. Holding his Battle Staff at the ready, he scoured for a target. And that is when he saw him. Picking through a pile of trash, **GodotsRevenge **was looking for something.

“Ah, here it is” said GodotsRevenge, looking down over a Force Field belt. “Just what I needed.” He reached down to pick it up.

“Not so fast, Lawyer!” screamed XthAtGAm3RGuYX, leaping from a pile of stone rubble nearby, kicking **GodotsRevenge **backwards away from the item. “That is my forcefield belt you’re trying to steal.” **GodotsRevenge **clenched his teeth, tightening his grip on the Tower Shield, ready to charge **XthAtGAm3rGuYX **and fight for his item. That is when he saw it, out of the corner of his eye. **Orochizoolander **leaping through the air, striking down on **GodotsRevenge **with his staff. **Godots **turned and positioned himself, deflecting the blow with his large shield. Orochizoolander, exhibiting supreme grace, rolled with the deflection and stood up. **GodotsRevenge **smiled.

“Is that all you have?” yelled **GodotsRevenge **at Orochizoolander. He looked to the side, and noticed **XthAtGAm3RGuYX **had gotten away with the Force Field. He instantly felt the anger well up inside of him… until he heard the whisper on his ears.

“Nope…” Whispered Skizzz, smiling, as he pressed his axe right against **GodotsRevenge’s **neck. He had snuck up behind him, while **Orochizoolander **distracted him. “Any last words?”

**GodotsRevenge **closed his eyes. How could he have let this happen. What a fool he was. to be duped by Orochizoolander? Was that his legacy?

No. He thought. He opened his eyes, and looked to the side. What he saw made his spirits rise. With a quickness, **Synonym **was upon Skizzz, pulling him aside in such a way to clear the axe from GodotsRevenge’s neck, and tacking **Skizzz **to the ground. The two men fell aside leaving **GodotsRevenge **clear. **Orochizoolanders **eyes went wide in fear, as **GodotsRevenge’s **eyes narrowed in on him. He wanted blood. The rest of the arena faded to black for him, the rage of losing the Force Field and nearly falling victim to **Orochizoolanders **plans too much to handle. **Orochizoolander **looked back, in a battle ready stance, gripping his staff tight. If **GodotsRevenge **wanted a fight, it was on.

“Wait” started Synonym, protesting to GodotsRevenge. But it was too late. His words entered his ears, but never quite registered with his brain. They floated around inside his head like a moth fluttering in the night, drawn to a light that flickers on and off, never quite able to get it. He charged Orochizoolander, who effortlessly dodged the shield slam with his enhanced reflexes, sending **GodotsRevenge **off balance. He tripped on a rock he didn’t see, and sprawled to the ground, sending his shield from his grip. He didn’t care. He flipped over onto his back, to see where Orochizoolander had gone…

And saw Augustus pointing his sword down at him. “Farewell, GodotsRevenge” he said, as he thrust his blade quickly down into his heart, twisting it as he did so.

GodotsRevenge was dead, unable to hear **Synonyms **warning.

**Augustus **turned back to Synonym. **XthAtGAm3RGuYX **had come back to the edge of the group to witness the exchange, fitting his belt around his waist and clicking it into place.

“Wow, good one Augustus, now we’ve both got a kill under out belt.”

As he said that, an arrow flew out from the trees, nailing him right in the head. A green irridecent glow shone around his body, as it deflected the arrow from him. He fell backwards in shock at his near death.

**Augustus **looked for the source of the shot, trying to get a fix on where it came from. And then he saw it.

**JasonC **was looking back at him, another arrow notched in his bow. JasonC gave a little wink, and let the arrow fly.

It found its mark, and Augustus fell on top of GodotsRevenge, dead. JasonC quickly ran away for cover.

Meanwhile, **Pietastic **was scavenging through a tower in the corner of the castle, looking for something useful. He reached down, and picked up a Stun Gun, giving it a click as the electricity created a “zap” in the air that satisfied him. He turned around, and saw **Sumazndude **standing in the doorway behind him. **Pietastic **noticed a nice, large looking Katana held in the mans hand. For a moment, there was a staredown between the two, neither willing making the first move. And then, they both were startled by a loud bang.

Followed by another.

They both went and looked out the nearby window in the castle, and saw in the sky 2 names:

“Looks like we missed all the fun, right buddy?” cackled Sumazndude, but when he turned to look at Pietastic, he was already gone.

Back at the fight, **Skizzz **looked around at the fallout. Alongside him was Orochizoolander, Synonym, and XthGAm3rGuYX all staring at the dead bodies.

“Well, that could have gone worse for us I suppose…” said Skizzz.

“Yoink” yelled Angelpalm, hopping out from some bushes wearing mud as camoflauge. In one smooth motion, he unhooked **Skizzz’s **Fiery armor, grabbed it, and was off again before anybody could react. All 4 of the men just stood at eachother, blinking, in shock.

“Attention fighters,” the voice of Pimp Willy boomed over the loud speaker. “A large swarm of deadly, poisonious insects is currently being released into the arena. Prepare, or die. That is all.”

And then the voice clicked off.

Tell us who died!

THE SUSPENSE (AND PROBABLY A BUNCH OF YOU GUYS) IS KILLING ME!

Whelp, I’m fucked.

So Jason and Skizzz are looking extremely scary.

@Skizzz, just spill all the abilities.

Thank you Jason. I’ll try to replay the favour

Sorry for the delay. Tried to do a higher quality writeup and double check all my math.

Also, tomorrow, I am travelling for work, I will be at a computer but since I am going to be in the office (and not at home) it might be harder to find time for a writeup. So it might be delayed, and the quality might not be as high, but actions are still due at noon

I think SAD, pie, and OZ have the only abilities that haven’t been figured out yet. Syn no longer has an ability. I’ll think about outing those three when I get home from uni later today but first I would want to know how badly they want to keep their abilities secret.

I have an idea on Oz, so I really only care about the other two.

And thanks to the BEEEEEESSSS, you and I need to have a pow-wow on Armor.

EDIT: Actually I read the list wrong. Nevermind

Thanks. Though you may not get a chance to… I’m probably targeted this phase.

Also I completely called this shit after Phase 1. JasonC can attack and scavenge in the same turn, or attack two targets in the same turn. He needs to die very soon.

Luckily for me my natural foresight told me I should grab armor that would protect me from that +3. Attacking me was a wasted effort.

Good call, Gam3rGuy…good call.

Outting me doesn’t matter because it’s about to be made public next phase…
With that in your confused minds those who do not know, I’m willing to team up with someone though it is late to ask

Btw @AngelPalm, did you think to steal the research report? Just a thought…

I do agree JasonC needs to be taken care of but, who am I to say that.

Then lets hear it Skizzz. I would very much like to know the card L over here has up his sleeve.

Good write up btw Willy.

Jason, do you get double attack with any weapon or just the bow?

Sorry skizz I figured u was a gonner anyway so I grabbed your armor before anyone could.

As of now I am a thief for hire, let me know what you want me to steal and I will give u my conditions.

Can you steal my shield back for me.

You aren’t the only one who thought I was dead. I did as well. I would really apprecate if you didn’t steal medicine this phase, but I am not in a great position to make demands
