ROUND 3 ENDS 11.59PM PST, 8 FEB (FRI) 2013
GROUP DECAF & SPARTA
As the singing begins, the strange shambling creatures mysteriously quieten, slack-jawed and wide-eyed.
Hath music soothed the savage beast? ...At first it is only one, near the back of the herd, but as the lone Phony(?!) rears,
its companions quickly follow: NO - THE SINGING HAS SENT THEM INTO A FROTHING FRENZY.
They charge the group - snap SNAP: OH NO! Byagane319 and frozen_flames06, so earnest in song,
have attracted the bulk of their attention and - and - oh, it's too horrible to describe. QAQ
As all seems lost, there is a distant rumble...that rapidly rushes into a roar: the valve that Syrcaid has opened rumbles into action,
and the wave washes all in its wake away. Somehow, Syrcaid and Fairymount - whose prowess with the camera had kept
the terrible teeth of the beasties away - manage to hang on for the ride, and after what feels like an interminable tumble,
find themselves washed ashore on a concrete ledge, blessedly alone.
There is a grate above them, across an opening big enough to crawl through.
If they peer past it, they can see into...the Phonyland Factory?!
There is a rush of air into the room as the AislingJuno hits the hidden switch and the panel slides back - but it is hardly fresh.
It smells suspiciously of the sewers...and as our heroes peer into the uneven tunnel that has been unveiled, there is a growing rumble...
And yet when it comes it feels sudden as a lightning bolt: a torrent of dank water, further churned by the strange, writhing bodies of
monstrous four-limbed beasts! WHAM - AislingJuno, so close to the entrance, is slammed away immediately by the tide, and -
WHOOSH - Parasitic Candii barely has time to look up from her patch of floor before she too is washed away and - oh nooooooo...
It takes bare seconds before sewage, beasties, AislingJuno and Parasitic Candii all are subsumed into the bubbling goop, the pool healing
over all evidence of their existence. Kitomyx and The Semblance of Unity, so luckily out of the torrent's way, can hardly spare the time to
mourn their friends: there seems only one way out of this death pit, and so to the tunnel they take, winding up and down the ramps and
drops that made up its passage. But - wait - suddenly they happen upon a ledge, where two strangers stand, peering past a grate
...into the Phonyland Factory?

GROUP AFTERMATH & EATS
Against all possible logic, the highly savage pack of goggies pause at Tygress Dream's strategy of bribery.
A sniff or two at the tasty treats, and soon they were gobbling at the floor...that is, until the hollow rattle of
thyPOPE's bottle bouncing its way into the dumpster reminded them of their duty. WELP.
Our stalwart heroes had taken off running, but they are hardly match for the fury of hounds,
and before they know it the pack is at their heels - save Tygress Dream's, whose heels they seem to spare.
Whoever said bribery doesn't pay? SNAP - Syusaki, just a tad too slow, disappears under a mass of dogs!
TRAP - thyPOPE was next, as they surged forward in pursuit of the bottle-thrower! Run - RUN FASTER!
Through Phony City they run, until dogs and all plough straight into -
- but this requires some explanation of unfortunate Team Eats: "AAARGGGHHH!!!" the shady salesman screams
as Atmadja's spray of Pepsi hit him straight in the eyes - the guns flail wildly and the alley explodes in bullets!
lostandtold falls, gunned down in a hail of glory - most of the others run.
Then, mysteriously, there are no more reports: by the time Yasha Alchemist dares to emerge from her camouflage
to catch up with her comrades, the man is gone.
But, alas, unfortunate Team Eats: moonlit-raven and Mystaira, so quick out of the alley, are first to crash
right into the jaws of the hounds, lunging from the opposite direction. Oh, cruel carnage!!
Without time to mourn their tragic companions, all left standing dive into the safer central square,
staring at each other with wide eyes.

GROUP SLEAZY & BONJOUR
Grues mean business. Straightaway, the defenseless Tristam was ripped into the shadows, and - oh, the sounds!
But then - zwing! fwoomph! - the illuminated Vesperiie and Riffler's poor-man's-flamethrower sent the gurgles backing away.
The little group, huddling within what light they can, seem surrounded but safe for the moment - oh, poor Little Molly Dickwald
wanders too close to the edge, a growl and a howl and he said 'bone and meat' no more. They could not continue thus -
and they did not: "MAGIC MISSILE!" and FIZZ - well. It shouldn't really have come as a surprise how cheap Phonyland is,
when the arcing light burns right through the floor, and our heroes all crash down the hole into - NINJAS. SLICE DICE RICE
- the biggest threats: ALAS the glowing Vesperiie, the flaming Riffler, and the corpulent Senshi Desu Dicku Wa are disposed of in a flash,
and the mayhem begins -
- What sheer misfortune for Team Bonjour, for their deadly assailants had indeed paused, not unreasonable men,
at their demonstration of harmlessness, but as Team Sleazy crash through the roof, their limit for nonsense had
been well and truly exceeded, and WHAM. There was no reasoning with them now, and WHIZZ PIZZ -
SilverShieldwolf and Chibi_Kokoro143 quickly join the body count!
RUN RUN RUN - all still standing dash for the door and back out into the day, for it is a well-known fact that ninjas,
like grues, are never seen in the light. SLAM - someone has the good sense to shut the door...
and it feels almost as if nothing had never happened, save that both teams are now...several numbers short.

GROUP MONSTROUS
The bizarre beast bellows as the monitor ChezaRain hurled at its head squarely impacts:
the force of the blow sends it low to the ground, almost crouching - and that is all the opening
Chrystali needs to sprint right up and jump onto its back! WHOAH THERE, WHOAH!
This is the most ridiculous, unbelievable, foolhardy plan in the universe, a million to one chance...
and anyone who's read Discworld knows that a million to one chance usually works.
8|
What sounds almost like a choking pain from the monster as Chrystali scritches at
the base of its leathery wings...turns out to be a pleased gurgle.
It doesn't take long before it is gamboling about our stalwart heroes.
For some unfathomable, magical reason, not only did our adventurers not die in a rain of acid,
they now have a toothy new pet.
WELL, LUCKY TEAM MONSTROUS SURVIVORS! WHAT DO YOU DECIDE TO DO NOW?
