Honestly very pleased with the death scene I got. In true Problem Sleuth fashion! Got to ask, did you get the reference, or were you just very lucky? Either way, I loved it (: |

The sun had reached its peak in the sky, and more than half the combatants in this deadly game still stood. Only time would tell how many would stand by the time it fell from the sky…
Katz was the first to make his move. Exhausted after his earlier efforts, he sat hiding behind the tree in the Park, waiting for the storm to pass. As he rested, he took the time to open his bag, and withdraw an artefact of great note in history: the very first Easter egg to have ever been made, all the way from 1873. So old, indeed, that not only had life formed, but evolution had occurred, following the natural course. The acceleration due to the confined space was such that as Katz bit into his tasty chocolate treat, a dragon emerged and bit back, then cremated his corpse, and the tree alongside.
Simon Griffin, being a lover of learning, had recently been reading up on rock identification techniques. In his haste, he had failed to acknowledge one simple truth about identification of rocks by their taste: you’re not supposed to quite so far as swallowing them. His final thoughts before choking to death upon his sample were simple: “Alas, pitchblende.”
Zane was sneaking away, back to her apartment with her new prize, the beautiful blue hair of her former friend, Pepper. As she reached the doorway to her home, she was shocked to find her trophy ripped clean from her hands, and was even more shocked as she saw her clone, Zane Calothycos, carrying it away to her old rival, Miniman. As the nefarious duo set to planting the notorious hairpiece in amongst the bushes of Feather Park. However, an error that would prove to be a problem came about rather rapidly: Pepper’s hair only held its form through never being watered, and the first touch that came upon it caused it to lose all structural integrity, and blow up in their faces, and so Miniman and the clone were no more.
Ben, fresh from his apathy-fuelled dance-off, sat across the Tic-Tac-Toe table from his friend and firm companion, Bughunter Anderson. As Buggy waited, silently perusing the board, and debating his opening play, he encountered a new glitch, and froze in space. He, the board, and Ben were caught in a time loop, not to be seen again in this universe.
Rojoco, amazed by his success in the last round’s confrontations, tied a rope around his new favourite heavy thing. Whirling it menacingly overhead, he approached Jonpatrick. The savvy Irish soul, recalling his innovative strategy in the last round, looked down towards his PSP, allowing the rope and associated heavy object to swing over his head, and tie Rojoco up in the uncontrollable coils. Seeing his opportunity, Marshall leapt into the fray, throwing himself at Rojoco.
As the brawl subsided, only one stood: Marshall staggered away, exhausted from his efforts in ending Rojoco’s stand. Before him, though, stood one more foe, Ninjabear, who chose this moment to slap him with a wet sponge. Much as the straw broke the camel’s back, this was one blow too many for Marshall, who collapsed, and expired there, lying in the bloodied sands of the beach.
In the Lava Lounge, Bjorn had begun the task of redecorating the abandoned hall. However, he made a poor choice in attempting to plant a lily in the back of the lamp. As his trowel breached the case, the lava burst forth, burying the poor man under the weight and heat.
Knyh had chosen to move towards a more natural environment for his salmonboyo, as they stood together at the beach. Standing out at the sea, the salmonboyo felt a strange calling towards the water, and chose to carry Knyh with him out to the depths, towards his true home.
Simon Brancacane, seeking solace from the horrors all around, chose instead to hug his precious platypus. Unfortunately for him, the ankle barbs of the monotreme dug into him, injecting their vicious venom. As he collapsed and writhed in pain, the platypus attempted to hug his face by way of apology, and ended up suffocating him to death.
Three survivors have made it to round 3. These souls must send me their actions by Saturday, May 13th, 23:59 BST.
If I receive all three actions early, then I'll update as soon as they're received.

The sun had begun to set over Bedtime City, and the skirmishes had begun to subside. Just three were still standing, and soon, that number would fall...
Jonpatrick kept on chillin' quietly, playing on his PSP in peace. It's almost like he didn't know he was in the middle of a bloodbath, really.
Ninjabear prowled along, deadly sponge in hand. His brutal nature exposed by the two deaths he'd caused, he sought the next victim for his mighty weapon. Ahead of him, Zane was scrambling around in the cratered remains of the park, retrieving the hairs of her friend, Pepper. However, Ninja had seen his opportunity, and leapt, sponge-first, into the fray, burying Zane head-first in the crater. He cackled and danced around the still-kicking body of Zane, screaming "Just one to go!"
The battle seemed set. The day would end soon, and so too the conflict...
Two players still remain for round 4. To avoid ties, I would like each combatant to send me three action in order. The first round that does not lead to a tie will be taken. Please send me the actions ASAP, I know you'll beat the deadlines.

The sun was setting. The game must end. Here are the final moments of the battle for control over BTC...
The two stood facing each other down the long road of BTC, waiting for the other to strike. Watching, waiting, anticipating... and still more waiting.
Soon, though, this would end. Ninjabear raised his sponge, slightly shaking against his face. JP, too, raised his fearsome PSP, pointing it towards his own face. They would continue to bluff each other, waiting for the other to strike first, until a critical, final moment came.
Acting as one, the two flung their weapons in a great arc, landing squarely between the other's eyes. Ninjabear, struck fearsomely by the opposing blow, he fell back into the road, and cracked his skull, and fell to his end. JP, surprised at his effectiveness, and the flying of the sponge, fell backwards off the end of the road, never to be seen again.
Jurgen looked out of the modcave, seeing the last of the chaos-causing cretins fall. He laughed maniacally, retaining control of this ruined city to the last...
Both players have died. The game has ended.
Thank you all for participating.
Final Round Targets
Jonpatrick: (a) Air, (b) Self, (c) Ninja

Congratulations, we had a super duel! The sponge remains the deadliest weapon though. |

Well, I guess that's also a way for a western to end... |
