Curtis and the dwindling crew trekked on. Only five remained. Boc scouted ahead on his new bicycle as KC ran in circles and continued making sound effects with his GI Joe's. Dylan and Vic followed behind Curtis as Paco continued to shiver from his near death experience.

Boc doubled back a few minutes later and sped towards the group on his bike. "Something's up ahead!!" he yelled.

The adventurers broke through a small wooded area and saw what Boc spoke of. A gigantic snow fortress sat at the top of a sheer cliff face.

"The Bear Jew." Curtis said under his breath. "It has to be.."

Their question was answered when they spotted the fortresses flag blowing in the wind:



"This must be where he operates from." KC said.

"Wait what?" asked Vic. Dylan slapped him against his head.

"Oh men lets break in their guiz!" added Paco.

Curtis led the five to the base of the cliff face. It was completely vertical, but they would have to climb it. KC handed out pick axes from his pack as Boc rode back towards them. "I see another reindeer! It's right at the top!" he said.

"Good. Let's get moving!" replied Curtis.

ELIMINATION QUEST

The five remaining travelers readied their climbing tools from KC. The merchant bid them farewell as they set forth up the cliff face.

The cliff was a sheer wall of ice, completely vertical. There were hardly any edges to place your feet again, and the ice was so thick that even digging their pick axes through it proved to be difficult. Still, they continued up.

About halfway up the cliff, a booming voice echoed out. The Bear Jew.

"YAW!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU TRY TO ENTER MY FORTRESS?! NAW NAW....YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" he yelled downwards. His voice carried with the wind and shook the land. "SERVANT...............NOW!!"

The friendly merchant from down below who had sold them items ripped off his cloak, revealing his disformed, hillbilly face. Simplton.

Simp stood at the base of the cliff and uncovered his most precious item, a snowball launcher. He aimed it up high, pointed it directly at Curtis, and fired.

The snowball slammed into Curtis' back, pushing him against the ice wall. He hit his forehead against the solid ice, cracking the ice and splitting part of his forehead open. Blood trickled down towards Simplton as Curtis' unconscious body swung in place.

"YEEEHAW!!" Simplton yelled because he's a Southern hick fuck. "Who's next?!"

Instead of working together, the remaining five chose to push one another out of the way in order to climb further from the incoming snowball launches.

Boc swung his arm across and struck Vic with one of his fins. Vic yelped out, but retaliated. He kicked towards Boc with his spiked boot and made contact with him. Boc began to fall......





























































































...but Paco grabbed onto his rope just in time. He clambered over to the action and tried to help him out by attacking Vic back, but Dylan wouldn't stand for it. He lunged at Boc and attempted to knock him down the cliff face again.

KC was slightly above the rest and watched down at the fighting.

"KC....GWAD FOR LIFE!" Dylan yelled out. "Help us!"

"KC....no." said Boc. "...no."

Conflicted, KC took out his hatchet and made his way down. The four were all begging for assistance. KC began to sweat profusely as the screaming all blended together.

Next to him he saw Boc's rope, and beside that, Vic's. Each rope vibrated due to the struggle below. KC closed his eyes, reached his arm out, and swung his hatchet against a rope...























































































The rope was split in two, immediately causing the climber to plummet down the cliff face. He reached out for his friend, but they were powerless.

The body continued to fall as it bounced and scraped off of the ice wall. It vanished into the clouds and wind below.


*SPLAT*

The body slammed into a formation of icicles. One icicle jutted through the person's arm, and another pierced his abdomen. Simplton saw the gorgeous spray of blood fly upwards and ran over to the dying man...
















































































































"Hello Vic :) " Simplton said with a smile.

Vic coughed up blood. His body was broken all over and he couldn't move it. He couldn't even speak.

Simplton broke off a nearby icicle and walked over to Vic, taunting him. He flung Vic's elf hat onto the ground and placed the icicle against his forehead. Vic closed his eyes. Simplton put his boot up against the icicle, pointed the sharp against Vic's face, and kicked down.
