I like how that's a question.

Same bat time? Same bat channel?

Maybe!

I hope it is. I have to tune to hear Melkor's screams as he becomes Cortez chow! (Positive thinking)

CHAPTER 10:

Snatching up swords, you both face off against the skeleton of Cortes. But at a key moment in the fight, theanalogkid backs off and give Cortes a chance to fight.

Luck is with theanalogkid--Cortes drives his sword through Melkhor. theanalogkid then smashes Cortes' skull.

So the quest is over. theanalogkid--sole survivor of the motley crew of ruthless thugs--picks up the idol and gazes at it with greedy eyes. Soon, he'll be back in civilization, rich beyond the dreams of avarice, wildly spending his ill-gotten gains.

The rest of you spend eternity rotting in the jungle. Or, in one case, dissolving in the stomachs of the cannibals. BUT at least you won't have to fill out all those darn tax forms that theanalogkid now has to deal with.

THE END.

Curse you!!!! I got so close I could almost taste that gold...

Oh well, at least my strategy was sound, and I did directly cause the death of two other players, so I'm not complaining that much

Anyways, great game Kal, you took us all for one HELL of a ride with this one!

Well done, both Kal and TAK.

I would like to thank the random number generator for taking out all this scum that was with me . Great game Kal. I hope you have more of these to run.

So who was it that backstabbed me? It was *so* Shel, wasn't it?

No, actually it was Melkhor. So there was some poetic justice at the end there.

So much for "accidentally" killing me, eh?

Me too.

If I ever go to a con, I'll be afraid of any hcrealms people I meet trying to kill me.

I've started a new version of this game, if anyone is interested:
