Round 39: Expert MarksmanshipLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)Time: Morning Hawk does not emotionally process Ukrainian's death, it is pure instinct and reflexes that drive the movement of his gun's barrel pointing from where the Conquistador once stood to Person's mobile position. (6 vs. 3) Hawk sprays and is rewarded as a bullet finds the flesh of Person's foot.
Elephant Parade literally seeks out his crowd as he sets out upon the evacuation path they had taken. The road is silent and lonely for most of Elephant's journey, until he both spots and hears the massive traffic up ahead. Running forward to locate the source of the hold-up, Elephant discovers the evacuation party, or what's left of it. Cars, civilian and police, are strewn all over the road. Discordant cries and screams, medical personnel running around attending to the wounded. Some of the bodies have already been covered up. The scene is eerily similar to the status of the emergency site in Denmark when Elephant had first arrived.
Abstract asks Autumn if she wants to go get her stuff and she enthusiastically agrees. Abstract lets her off at her apartment, aiding her in taking her belongings down to the car; she only brings what she deems necessary, even if it is already a modest amount of materials she started with. After it is all packed away, Abstract suggests that they go to New York City. "I'm ready if you're ready." She embraces her companion, standing on her toes to meet him for a sweet kiss.

Execute and Yuri begin their search for Ihiyo, asking the Texcocans if there are any volcanoes in the nearby vicinity. They are given directions to the nearby active Frothing Mouth, a thin volcano that oozes with potent lava. Execute take to the air while Yuri stays on the ground and encircles it, both of them searching for the proclaimed Great Spirit. Several hours later, with the sun laying low in the horizon, Ihiyo has not been located. Execute and Yuri retire back to the village, sweaty and tired.
After he catches his breath, Yuri pitches his two cents, "I think he may have gone somewhere else. What if that story about the volcano was pure nonsense, like everything else he had said?"
Greatness, in a similar state of grieving to Hawk, channels his rage and sadness into violence. He swings his gun around, choosing a target seemingly at random; he stops on the last remaining Conquistador. (1 vs. 10) In his intense grief, Greatness neglects to use proper form on his gun. Holding it loosely, he pulls the trigger and the recoil sends the gun out of his hands (AR15: Dropped), (3) and ends up firing into his own stomach area. Regeneration might save Greatness, but is not prevent him from being winded and badly hurt by taking a shot to the gut that penetrates his armor. He clutches his bleeding wound, limping away, and going behind a building where he slumps into a sitting position. Even his impairment does not stop him from experimenting with different wavelengths on his portable radio. (5) He manages to find a cluster of wavelengths belonging to long-distance truck drivers, could they be useful somehow?'
Person feels his foot get shot, blood splattering onto the side of his beautiful vehicle; the wound wouldn't be a big deal at the moment, but if he had to step off of his ride it would mean trouble. And at this point he was getting tired of getting shot at, sure, it was nothing serious, but all of these minor wounds could quickly become serious if he got too many of them. When he witnesses Greatness shooting himself in some sort of bizarre accident, he takes the opportunity to steer his potato away from the combat and drive off towards the road. (4) He makes it away from the main lot where the fighting was taking place and gets on the road, the slippery, icy conditions of the road force him to slow up some, creating further distance between himself and the fleeing Conquistadors. Dad tries his hands at long-distance accuracy, holding his pistol out with both hands and taking careful, single shots. (1-1[Long Distance] vs.
The very first shot Person takes ricochets off the side of a building and comes flying back at him, (5) and hits him in the ankle right above where he had just been shot. To make things even better, that shot jammed his pistol.
In the ensuing chaos, Salsacookies runs for his Barbell Hammer, the Conquistador that Greatness failed to shoot (or even fail to shoot
at) chases him down. (Agility: 7 vs. 10) The Conquistador is surprisingly swift, coming from behind Salsa and swinging his blade at the Olympian's backside, (1 vs. 4) utterly missing and stumbling, giving Salsa plenty of time to recover his improvised weapon. (8-2 vs. 1) Because of his wound, Salsa is forced to use mainly one hand to wield the giant weapon, which fails to do much damage as he swings into the Conquistador, merely smashing his ribcage with such force that the bones jam into all of the squishy organs they were built to protect. The Conquistador dies too quickly to appreciate the anatomical irony. [+1 Conquistador Point]
High tyrol, the last hope for the success of this Quest for anyone, makes one last gun-run on the remaining Conquistadors. (5 vs. 6) The machine gun bears down upon the runners, it would take only a couple seconds to tear all of them to pieces, and yet all of them remain whole as Tyrol passes by, cursing to herself.
NAV, the new guy in town, cruises around the streets, casually passing by the bodies and ruins that litter the place, looking for anything of use. (8+2) Among the rubble he spots the remains of a BMW crashed into a wall, but otherwise it was in fine condition. Rolling up to it, he looks inside to see that the bodies inside are still fresh and likely loaded with whatever they were carrying. It would be grossly indecent to loot the contents of the car and the people inside, but it's not like they needed the stuff any longer.
The fleeing Conquistadors cross a sign designating the city limits of Denmark, Wisconsin. The four of the survivors hoop and holler, jumping with glee as if they had found a trove of Aztec Treasures. They never cease to stop moving as they run down the road.
Meanwhile, (10) the previously unconscious Conquistador, unaware of his comrades victories, wakes up and quickly gets to his feet, quickly alert.
