Creatures Caves

The final update....

Judgment Day: Last Stand

Selene, the last of the first gens, escapes Burekku's wild teleporting frenzy, although she isn't in the most favorable of positions.

Suddenly, she is attacked....

...and killed by the grendel Clark, an adolescent of 7 minutes. Pity that the first gens get whacked by somebody who shouldn't be killing norns before adulthood.

Fishskin managed to leave behind one final offspring, who is named Bertraude.

Just as was predicted, Bwana is sent to his maker by Azhar's fists.

Azhar figures he shouldn't stop there, and promptly attacks Baiko. He doesn't kill the young norn, though.

Aggie and Azhar share the work in killing Britta, with Azhar dealing the final blow....

...Then Azhar kills Bertraude, bringing her life to an end at a mere 2 minutes. He celebrates by kisspopping (but not impregnating) Aggie.

With Bertraude and Britta dead, only Bessy, Berholda, and Baiko remain alive, all children of Lucy and Cosmo. At the moment, they're all safe by the treehouse elevator.

The threesome fight with the grendel Catherine over an apple as Barentain and Azhar approach....

...To beat them up, not to eat the apple. As the norns scamper off, they attempt to kisspop Catherine.

Bessy dies first from a joint attack by Azhar and Barentain. Azhar deals the final blow, as evidenced by Bessy's final words of dislike towards the grendel.

The elevator malfunctions, as Berholda, Baiko, and Azhar soon find out.

Driven by fear, Berholda runs into the pond. Baiko soon joins her, motivated mostly by loneliness. They decide that if they die, they die together, and that they die not by the fists of an enraged grendel, but by drowning.

Berholda lives up to that promise, falling not to Barentain as the picture suggests, but to the waters of the pond. Frustrated, the grendel runs off....

...leaving Baiko to hold up his side of the bargain uninterrupted.

With all the norns now dead, the grendels now have this ark completely to themselves - a bitter loss for Nornkind, but a great victory for the mighty Banshee.

In the belly of the beast, only the plants of the pond bear witness to the final passings of the norns....

The Wolfling Run is now over. Sorry about the tragic ending.

Anyway, how did you all like this run overall? Any suggestions on how to do better next time?

Also, besides silvak, would anyone be interested in the modified grendel egg layer used in the run? If enough people are interested, I'll release it publicly along with the Jungle Banshee Grendels.
