The four remaining adventurers had reached the top. Curtis' unconscious body continued to swing from his rope further down the cliff. Working together, the four grabbed hold of Curtis' rope and slowly but surely pulled him to the top. They laid him down safely by the steps of the fortress.

Paco approached the reindeer that Boc had spotted from below.

"Over here guiz." he said.



By now, they knew what to do. KC asked Dylan to hand him a torch. Dylan handed it over but gave a lingering glare at KC as he grabbed onto it. Dylan released his grip and KC began to melt the ice.

Cupid roared with life once more. He licked Boc's face and trotted off towards his home. There were only two left.

"HARK!!!!" the Bear Jew yelled. The group turned to face him. Vernon stood atop the stairway to his fortress. On one side was his loyal but retarded henchman Simplton. On the other was his vicious snow beast, Sansa. The three looked down upon KC, Paco, Dylan, Boc, and Curtis who was out cold.

"You've made it this far...BUT THIS ENDS NOW!!!" Vernon yelled. "Simplton.....FINISH THEM!"

Vernon and Sansa continued into the fortress, shutting the gate and giving a key to Simplton. Simplton stood above the group next to a pile of snowballs, each one filled with shrapnel like before. The group readied themselves for a fight.
