80k Update!

Update #10 · Jul 17, 2012 · 4 comments

Wooh! You people are amazing! And, apparently rather fond of delicious drugs.

Here is your tasty reward. It doesn't end with a choice, but if we reach 90k, you win the battle.

36
Your engineering background has prepared you well for the beating of children. You note that children's larger head-to-body ratio results in a higher center of gravity, and adjust your kicking accordingly.

Lost in your attempt to play "Mary had a little lamb" by rhythmically stomping the sternums of three children of differing sizes, you fail to notice a group of angry mothers clustering about you.
They confront you. Those are their kids and their drugs!

At first, you aren't scared of a small band of pleasantly attired mommies. Then, one pulls a Bed, Bath, & Beyond switchblade out of her baby yellow cashmere. Another uses her kid on a kid-leash like a morningstar. A third mommy pulls out a pair of brass knuckles, which is inscribed with “My Son is An Honor Student.” It is also inscribed with spikes.

Battle: Fighting: Angry Moms
Fighting: 3, HP: 5

If you win, go to 25.
