Lycan gets revived, only for the Blade cart to go on a rampage. With a tug of a chain, two harpoons shoot forth, slamming into Alex and Galen. Galen, in his rage, swings at the Blade Cart, only for the operator to grab him by the neck. Seeing this calamity unfold, Johon swings at the Blade Cart, shattering one of it's wheels before the operator can drop Galen into the sharpening blades.

[Endgame]

"Oh, I see you still remain rebellious.

It is always so much nicer skinning people like you when they are dead. Much more rewarding, I find."

[Dannylonglegs]

"Oh, I see you still remain rebellious.

It is always so much nicer skinning people like you when they are dead. Much more rewarding, I find."

"Why wait until I'm dead? Why don't you skin me right now? Is it too hard? Did you skin your Daddy alive or was he dead when you skinned him. Which did he prefer? It'd be a shame if he didn't even like the way you cut him up."

[Endgame]

The Wound's facade of superiority wavers momentarily, but he quickly retorts.

"My mother and father were two delusional idiots who didn't understand what a prodigy their child was.

Oh, and I'll gladly skin you alive! Just come a little closer..."

The Wound's facade of superiority wavers momentarily, but he quickly retorts.

"My mother and father were two delusional idiots who didn't understand what a prodigy their child was.

Oh, and I'll gladly skin you alive! Just come a little closer..."

"Yes, they didn't understand that their poor pwodigal child had a wittwe pwobwem making venom. Are there enough knives in the world to fill that empty part of you where their love never was? I've got an idea, why don't you poison me instead of skinning me... Oh, wait..."

"Looks like you have a knack for pissing off Proggs Sylph!" Elgar chuckles before following Sylph's plan.

[Endgame]

"Assuming you complete this gallant little mission you are on to exterminate a species, I assume you will then go on a vendetta, trying to kill every single crippled person on Olegaia, by your logic?

Oh, why not slaughter the mentally ill, while we are at it!"

[Dannylonglegs]

"Assuming you complete this gallant little mission you are on to exterminate a species, I assume you will then go on a vendetta, trying to kill every single crippled person on Olegaia, by your logic?

Oh, why not slaughter the mentally ill, while we are at it!"

"Oh no, I just don't like you." Stated Sylph cheerfully. "I'm beginning to see why your parents were so ashamed of you. You can't even hit us with those precious knives. Maybe you should have thanked them for locking you up. Oh, well, I guess it's a little late for that. I'm sure they regret nothing though, so you can take some solace in that."

[Endgame]

The Wound coughs and motions to the giant gash in Galen's stomache.

"Oh, right, you got lucky once. I'm sure your parents would be thrilled."

"It is not like you've done anything particularly crippling to our side, hm? Summon up the Roots of Life. Do what a druid is meant to do."

"It is not like you've done anything particularly crippling to our side, hm? Summon up the Roots of Life. Do what a druid is meant to do."

Sylph coughs and nods towards his slumbering crystal friend who never got to counter-strike.

[Endgame]

"You do realize you're just giving poor Craig here, who has been working on a shift 36 hours straight, a little beauty rest?"

[Dannylonglegs]

"You do realize you're just giving poor Craig here, who has been working on a shift 36 hours straight, a little beauty rest?"

"Yes, I'm sure he'll be gorgeous if he wakes up. Perhaps your bleeding corpse and crushed glass shell will be the last thing Craig ever sees. I won't let him wake up until we've dealt with you. I hope he enjoys his rest. Speaking of rest, do you want to give up? I'd be quite lenient with you, considering, of course, your little problem. What do you say?"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Everyone shut up and cut the chatter. Let's get some bloodshed please."

Sylph, I follow your plan.

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Happy holidays! I'm back from my winter vacation!

"We can win this, we are almost there!"
