Round 46: The Great EscapeLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)Time: Early Afternoon High Tyrol checks on the condition of the plane's machine gun, (2) and finds that is has been broken up into a dozen pieces. She steps out of the wreckage and looks around the area for a pickup truck, (9) and after walking down the nearest road for a few minutes, comes across an abandoned truck. At the moment it has collided with another car, which must have happened sometime around the Denmark Apocalypse, the car being the smaller vehicle was completely destroyed while the truck only suffered some superficial frontal damage. Both of the drivers are dead, with the truck driver slumped down into his seat, and the truck is out of gas as well. However, everything else appears operational, even the keys are still in there.
Execute clarifies his plan to his war party, "First wave, go back through the portal and retrieve at least seven muskets, a couple pistols, and a handful of crossbows. Bring them back here!" The Aztecs, relieved to not have to be part of this fight for a moment, run back through the portal. (-26 Active Aztecs) "Second wave! The best sex shooters go assault the fortress with Yuri, the rest of you focus on the other man!" The split occurs, with Yuri's Elite Shooter Unit firing onto the armored truck. With it being completely closed however, every single arrow bounces off the exterior of the truck.
The larger section of the army charges after Hawk. (9+1 vs. 6-1) Hawk pops out of cover just for a moment to retaliate, but he is struck by a flying spear which imbeds itself deep into his right shoulder! The force of the hit throws him down onto the back and results in him losing a hold of his gun. In addition to all of this, the spear has been dabbed in a painful toxin, furthering debilitating Hawk.
Execute himself takes to the air once again and flies down the street where NAV has just performed a U-Turn. With a difficult angle on the driver inside, Execute is forced to shoot for the tires. (1 vs. 5) The shot goes wide to the right and into a ruined car on the side of the road. (2 vs. 3) NAV leans out his window to fire a quick burst at Execute, one of the bullets clipping one of Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal's feathers.
NAV drives to a spot in the road that's an equal distance from both Hawk and NAV. "I'm on your team now, get in!" (8 vs. 6) He leans out the window and sprays at the Aztecs, taking down three more of them.
Person squares off against the feral hounds, drawing his officer's sword and stabbing it downwards at them. (9+1 vs. 10) He jams the blade into what he is sure is the back of the neck of one of the closest dogs, yet the agile creature narrowly evades Person as his blade goes into the soft, snowy ground. Person lets out his own animalistic sounds, barking and yelling at the dogs as his swings his sword at them whenever they draw near. The creatures growl as fiercely as ever, but instead of attacking they now retreat back into the tent, obviously intimidated by Person.
"...You know, I've fought worse. Killed worse. You Aztecs...don't know who you're fighting, do you?" The Samurai muses to himself as he attempts to remove both of the arrows from his body. (1) (7) The newest arrow, he is able to pull out with great concentration. The shoulder arrow on the other hand he accidentally further pushes deeper into himself, making it impossible to retrieve without further opening the wound. Now he is plagued with the constant sensation of an arrow shaft penetrating the muscle as well, which is highly painful. His stomach wound regenerates partially. He then looks around the truck for spare parts and a wire, (10) and finds a surplus of both. He takes as much as he can and stores it in his armor. (+Long Length of Wire, +Various Mechanical Parts) Finally, when Greatness hears that backup has arrived outside, he kicks open the doors of the truck and fires at Yuri and his Aztec war party, (9-1-1 vs. 2) nailing half of them instantly and Yuri as well. (9) Somehow, Yuri remains a lucky son of the bitch as the bullet only nicks him. (4) Greatness sprints and makes into the car, but gives Yuri's team one last opportunity to attack. (1 vs. 4-2) Despite Greatness sloppily diving into the backseat of NAV's sports car, every arrow fired at him misses, as well as even missing the entire car.
Abstract daydreams about his life now. What would happen? Would his job at the mayor's office work out? What about Autumn, what was she going to do here? Would their relationship survive their new goals and obstacles? Abstract thinks about this for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at sunrise, Abstract wakes up. He could try starting his job now, or since he was given some "adjusting" time by his employer, he could spend today exploring the city with Autumn.
"I'm retreating to the truck. Cover me!" Hawk cries out as he rushes for the car, now sporting multiple serious wounds. (1-1) On the way, Hawk trips over some debris and lands on his face, allowing the Aztecs to easily swarm around him. (9+1 vs. 3-2) Hawk reaches for his gun on the ground, but an agile Jaguar Warrior leaps upon him and drives his spear through Hawk's back and into his spinal column. Hawk is skewered as a hollering horde of Aztec surround him, stabbing and cutting him from all angles in a way that no amount of healing vegetables could hope to mend. Greatness watches helplessly as his original ally is torn apart just fifty meters away from him.

In a case of the teacher learning from the student, Greatness's game has lead me to consider new victory rewards for this one. How would you guys feel if the victor got something like a random article from the wikia of their choice, or the ability to influence the starting location of the next game?
