Meanwhile, General Igor was rummaging through the remnants of the feast back at the village. He munched down onto a turkey leg before spitting it out into Jeffrey's face.

"holy shit you call this food??" he said angrily as Chieftain Booda bowed his head nervously. "I can cook better shit than this in my crock pot you corrupt chieftain bitch."

"Sir!" A soldier interrupted. "We just received word from our scouting party, Curtis and the rest of his group are entering...the swamp."

"HAHA holy shit thats fucking gold. those idiots have no idea whats waiting for them. the Cthudow will finish them off." Igor said with a menacing grin. Beside him, Jeffrey looked out towards the treeline of Dingleberry Forest with a sorrowful look.


KC had rejoined the group and told them of Patrick's demise. Rose bowed her head sadly at the death of her frenemy.

"We have to push forward." said DS. "We have to find this witch."

The dwindling group continued their journey through the forest until a horrid stench filled the air.

"smells dank as fuck." said Igor, secretly enjoying it. The rest of the group tried to cover their snouts.

"ok but where is that coming from and can it pls stop." added Jamie. He hopped a few yards ahead and came across the source of the smell.

A green, murky swamp now sat in their way. The swamp oozed with life as bubbles popped on the surface and small insects buzzed all over.

"Great." said KC. "Lets just go around."

Steering clear of the swamp, the group began to forge a path along the edge of the water. Their hooves and paws sank deep into the mud with each new step.

A few feet beside them, a slimy tentacle briefly surfaced before slipping back into the depths of the swamp.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" screamed Nofo as he flew backwards in a panic.

The group looked on confused. "I didn't see anything?" Brian shrugged.

Nofo flapped his wings and nervously continued ahead with the group. "I swear I saw something moving-"

A large tentacle splashed out of the swamp and raised high above the group. Everyone jumped back as beads of murky swamp water rained down on top of them.

Just then, another tentacle shot upwards. Then another, then another. About a dozen slimy, scaly tentacles jutted up from the surface of the swamp. They slithered in place and readied themselves to lunge towards the group.

As the tentacles surfaced, they reared their ugly tips for the first time.

















































"hallo" each tentacle screeched out as it surfaced from the water. A unison of horrid hallo's bellowed out, causing the group to attempt to cover their ears.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?" Bryce yelled out as the scruffy monstrosity neared them.


ELIMINATION QUEST




The Cthudow is ready to attack the group. Each time a tentacle lunges at you, you will dodge it and redirect it to a fellow player.

- Each of you has TEN tentacles to redirect. You must use all ten to attack your opponents. The player who gets attacked with the most tentacles will be eliminated.

- You must spread your ten tentacles between at least three different people. Any tentacles you do not redirect will be counted against you. PM me your choices.

- Furthermore, each of you must choose one person to block. You will PM me your choice. Any tentacles sent your way from that person will not be counted towards your total. Choose very wisely.
