The bear looked over at the hi-tech warrior as he made his declaration. [color=a0410d][b]“Uh, beh-beh-beh, pardon?”[/b][/color] Moneybags stammered. His monocle tumbled from his eye because he was so shocked. [color=fff200][b]“HA!”[/b][/color] Sparx happily exclaimed, frowning victoriously up at the bear. Frowning, Moneybags returned the monocle to his eye and waved his paws over the other prizes. [color=a0410d][b]“Might I interest you, Sir, in the other prizes? We have here a feather supposedly from the legendary phoenix. It is believed to bring whoever you wish back from the dead.”[/b][/color] He then grasped the keys to a mysterious vehicle, holding them up. [color=a0410d][b]“Or are you the more adventurous type? You seem like a commando. Why not a vehicle to support you in battle?”[/b][/color] As James insisted on taking the insect, Moneybags quickly returned the keys to the table and backed away slowly. If he hadn’t been covered in so much fur, then the guardian and half-genie might have seen him sweating bullets. [color=fff200][b]“It wasn’t my idea! He trapped me here!”[/b][/color] Sparx accused. Shantae turned on the bear next. Moneybags slipped a finger into the collar of his shirt and tugged it uncomfortably. He continued to back away from the two heroes as the half-genie directed her sharp finger at him. [color=yellow][b]Huh….I wonder…What other secret deals are you hiding from Steve…?[/b][/color] Moneybags felt his back bump into someone and whirled around to nearly pee himself when he saw Steve. The British fighter had an unamused look on his face. His hands were resting on his hips while he had quietly listened to the exchange, and he hadn’t liked what he heard. [color=aba000][b]“Yeah, what otha’ secrets are you keepin’ from me, Moneybags?”[/b][/color] Steve asked. Moneybags turned in a circle, looking at the glares from James, Sparx, Shantae, and Steve. The bear’s anxiety seemed to ease once he accepted he was caught. His fur was no longer ruffled as he drew a handkerchief from his innercoat pocket and removed his monocle to clean it. [color=a0410d][b]“Well…if you must know…I was paid quite the pretty penny to bring the dragonfly here. The Smash Arena seemed like the best place for a meddlesome insect. I hadn’t expected someone to actually want to win the thing. Then again, I wasn’t expecting our prizes to be desired so desperately by another buyer.”[/b][/color] Steve’s hands left his hips and curled into fists so tight that the bones in them popped. [color=aba000][b]“You’re makin’ my knuckles burn, mate. What sort ov’ underground deals ‘ave you been makin’?”[/b][/color] Returning the monocle to his eye, Moneybags frowned. [color=a0410d][b]“Oh, you’ll find out.”[/b][/color] As though on cue, the wall of the arena cracked as a thunderous boom was heard on the other side. The noise had been so loud that it had quieted the crowd. Several heads turned in the direction of the wall as a second boom caused a chunk to fly into the air. The cement slab sent the crowd running out from under it, but some characters weren’t so lucky to escape. The slab shook the floor when it landed and standing in the improvised doorway was a giant, mean-green ogre-looking beast covered in golden armor. He was extremely top heavy, nowhere near as large as General Brigan had been, but still one of the roid monsters. The ogre or "Gnorc" was brandishing a large mace, a weapon that easily explained the imploded wall. Bearing his teeth passed the tusks that rose like stalagmites passed his face, [url=http://orig03.deviantart.net/ccb5/f/2015/161/5/c/gnasty_gnorc_battle_by_bandidude-d8ws95c.png]Gnasty Gnorc[/url] waved a green hand over the crowd and declared, [color=ed1c24][b]“THIS PARTY IS OVER!”[/b][/color] Gnasty Gnorc then turned his red, burning eyes to the small army behind him, [color=ed1c24][b]“KILL THEM ALL! YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!”[/b][/color] The Gnorcs poured into the room, ramming innocents too slow to steer clear of their path and stampeding over them. Most of the green Gnorcs seemed fat, large and dopey, wielding clubs and shields—nothing of the hi-tech sort. A single swing from the Gnorcs threw a mob into the air on panicked screams. Moving swiftly through the crowd was a [url=http://orig11.deviantart.net/9eb8/f/2010/363/c/c/egg_thief_colour_by_metalik_fairy-d35xggg.jpg]blue-turban wearing creature[/url] who wasn’t concerned with fighting, but through all the chaos, he was drawing closer to the group around the prize table. [hr] [b]GM Note:[/b] I didn't state a set number of minions because even if I did, I expect everyone to kill about 100 each. The kill count wouldn't add up in the end, so have fun slaying some minions. Gnasty Gnorc is a boss battle. Some of you can start it, but remember, certain decisions yield certain results. I didn't specify his intentions for a reason, so don't ask. Everyone who signed up for the Smash Arena is involved in this scenario. The new players who joined will also be involved in this scenario. No one else. [center][h1]Achievement![/h1][/center] [i]The Bronze Arena coin has been awarded to [color=fff200][b]James Varrock[/b][/color] for winning the 1v1v1 bout. If the player wins a consecutive battle in the next Smash Arena, then the bronze coin can be traded in for the silver, and so on. The only consequence the character will suffer if he or she were to lose, is that the coin will not be upgraded. The coin will instead remain bronze and won't ever upgrade until the character wins another match.[/i] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/7wqFeqJ.png[/img][/center]
