Battered and bloodied by a myriad of brutal blows in this mad free-for-all, Myth-O-Man limps forward with growing determination. Once bested in the first round of the tournament, he’s now proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that he can go toe-to-toe with some of the fiercest fighters this year’s tournament had to offer. With growing confidence, he hefts his silver whip, eyes narrowing on the only foe left between him, and victory. From humble roots of a turbulent upbringing, and a further humbling in the arena, Myth-O-Man now stands poised to snatch glory from this bloody affair.
Howard skitters into the mothman’s path with characteristic jitteriness, eagerly carving into Rudolf Lundgren. Having met his end in the Quarter Finals to the dastardly Captain Drekkar, this housepet now stands with a surprising kill tally to his name in this battle alone. Perhaps we were all too quick to judge his young owner when he registered his little lizard pet into the arena. But if Howard wants to return to the comfort of his owner’s embrace, he’ll have to survive the wild onslaught of Myth-O-Man, who charges in out of nowhere! As their weapons swing wildly, it's anyone’s guess which of these fighters had the more questionable caretakers, and more importantly, who will survive their murderous duel?
-3114. Myth-O-Man’s brains are torn after a stab to the head from Howard’s large steel dagger.
Exhausted by the ordeal, Howard stands over the corpse of his final foe. Alone in the charnel pit of the loser’s battle royale, he’s incredibly come out the other side with barely a scratch sustained, to the thunderous cheers of his many fans. Sparing Myth-O-Man one final glance, the little lizard skitters off towards the loudest of his supporters; his young master, little Urist Mcdwarf. Though he returns not as the champion of this year’s tournament, he is reunited with his adoring owner at long last. Perhaps his master’s affection is all the reward little Howard truly wished for…
Congratulations to Howard for not only being the winner of this year’s Loser’s Battle Royale, but for coming out the other side with the highest kill tally! To the rest of the fighters, you make us proud for fighting, and dying once more for the glory of our dreadful god, Armok!
