Benny also goes in when the time comes.

If everyone would go in, Vulkon would go too. Unless they needed someone to stay behind.

Round 3: Elmengoreth -16
Benjen: 305 (-10) Killion: 400 Ragnar (-20): 375 Harwyn (-10): 320 Vulkon (-10): 364 Menion: 380 Clarence: 383 Kalvin (-10): 369 Vhagus (-20): 358 Arthur: 317 Crowl: 361
Elmo: 324 average (-425) One player may enter the god's heart. Elmangoreth will move to -125 because his skill is based on the number of opponents fighting him. Priority goes to high roller so Killion may choose to jump or pass.
The god is confused as the dragons continue their relentless assault, world-destroying amounts of power being channeled into cracking its protective carapace. One of the purple gems detonates with nuclear force and a hole appears. The god's counters are all avoided by the heroes as they soar about or climb the tree at hyperspeeds.

Killion plunges in.

Killion's dragon vanishes as the king of the Ironborn falls through the crack in the god's armor, and as he does the fissure sutures over, leaving him alone for now. There's no native light but Killion is glowing the same color as his dragon, allowing him to propel the beast's powers himself in addition to using sword and fist. The inside of the god is like a giant cavern filled with stalagmite-like veins and arteries pumping black fluid. There are parasites bigger than the reaver king as well, large maggots and buzzing flies the size of Volkswagons. Killion feels light in the low gravity and as such he is considerably stronger relatively here (100 athletics, +25 weapons, double damage) and he can forego weapons rolls to use his lozenge bombs (1/5 of modified roll in damage in an area of effect, base skill 80)

The core:
Round 1: One enemy in round 1, 2 in 2, 4 in 3, in 4, and so on. Best hope your buddies A. Like you, and B. Roll really well
Killion: 160 Parasite: 101 (-70)
Killion hacks the first worm to shreds with his dual blades, but the scent of warm mortal is awakening more...many many more.

Killion decides to go to town on the parasites like a human blender. He would resort to clearing the rabble with explosions when and if he became outnumbered by more than 3 to 1. Any sense of wonder or appreciation at the bizarre situation was cut short by the business at hand.

Round 4:
Benjen (-10): 377 Ragnar (-20): 287 Harwyn (-10): 330 Vulkon (-10): 375 Menion: 399 Clarence: 382 Kalvin (-10): 323 Vhagus (-20): 376 Arthur: 344 Crowl: 356
Elmo (-12): 321 (-315)
The dragons continue their reckless assault, as the tree god seeks their end. He cannot seem to swat them as effectively as he would like, and the battle inside him is distracting. Fire and flame and ice and thunder reign in the giant battle. Menion Saltcliffe smashes a hole in the god's shields and dives on in, seeking to join his king.

Round 2:
Killion: 199 Menion: 161 (-10)
Parasite: 156 (-40) Godleech: 186 (-20)
Menion lands right next to a leech, and it bites him before he recovers, but Killion's twin blades whir as he smashes them back, his empowered strikes crushing resistance.

Round 5:
Round 4:
Benjen (-10): 371 Ragnar (-30): 351 Harwyn (-10): 312 Vulkon (-10): 378 Clarence: 317 Kalvin (-10): 297 Vhagus (-20): 314 Arthur: 305 Crowl: 381
Elmangoreth: 285 average (-640)
The holes in Elmangoreth are getting too big to close up quickly now, and two of the champions enter. The Crowl and Vulkon clamber inside the god, seeking to destroy its heart.
Crowl: +50 to attacks, double damage dealt, halve damage received Vulkon: Every hit on one enemy strikes up to three others with lightning for 20 damage, +25 to hit

Round 3:
Killion: 146 Menion (-10): 209 Crowl: 205 Vulkon: 190
Bug: 91 (squashed) Godleech: 131 (electrocuted) Bug: 178 (-40) Bug: 165 (-60) Parasite: 155 (-60) Leech: 102 (dead)
The Crowl and Vulkon change the chemistry of the fight as they arrive and the smashing begins. Crowl has no super powers save his already immense fury becoming even more powerful, while Vulkon is roasting insect maggot things with every swing.

Round 6:
Benjen (-10): 382 Ragnar (-30): 299 (-40) Harwyn (-10): 339 Clarence: 362 Kalvin (-10): 352 Vhagus (-20): 342 Arthur: 365
Elmangoreth: 312
The abuse continues to pile on as the war rages. With fewer dragons less overall damage is dealt, but the sutures are tearing open easier and easier as the dragon focus on the weaker areas of the god. Harwyn, Benjen, and Ragnar all get onto the god, leaving the remaining four to simply hold the line.
Benjen: +25 to attacks, can forego his attacks to use an ice wall to block an ally from being hit Harwyn: Every time he hits an enemy, it dissolves into useless mush. Maximum two a round. +25 to rolls. Ragnar: Size tripled, allowing him to plow the way through the parasite field to the god's dark heart. Effective skill of 200.

Round 4-5:
The heroes smash through the bugs for the first few minutes, their abilities making them gods among the mindless insects, and the heart comes into sight as they crush through the ever-increasing waves of beetles. Te group sees the fifty foot heart pulsing in a rhythm about a hundred yards away. Everyone sort of wishes the lady with the bow was there, but no time for regrets! In addition to the bugs, they see a figure trapped in the heart's translucence, moving from time to time. But then more bugs appear and the time for reveries ends.

Round 6:
Killion versus the heart:
Killion: 208 Heart: 189 (-10)
Benjen: 147 (-20) Ragnar: 296 Menion: 156 Vulkon: 201 Harwyn: 141 (-10) Crowl: 241 (+10)
The bugs!
Vs: Benny: 131 (-10), 178, 121 (-20) VS Ragnar: 112, 189, 134, 167, 189, 201 VS Menion: 114, 145, 151, 99 Vulkon: 134, 161, 127 Harwyn: 119, 156, 132 Crowl: 135, 141, 108, 171, 144
Killion cuts his way to the heart as the other form a wall of near-invincibility. Bugs try swarming them but they hold them off with powers beyond insane. Harwyn melts creatures with his acid while the Crowl acts like he's at a buffet. Killion's swords slam into the heart and it shudders. Ragnar has the size and power of a giant and his blows crush the parasites almsot effortlessly.

Round 7:
Killion: 176 Heart: 128 (-40)
Killion continues hacking away at the strange core as the figure inside it begins to stir. They feel reality start to tumble as they damage the god. The tall man inside is doing something, and lines of white energy are pumping through the cavernous insides of Elmangoreth.
Ben (+5 total): 192 Ragnar: 218 Menion: 149 Vulkon: 177 Harwyn: 166 Crowl: 186
Bugs: Innumerable, 45 slain, inflict 10 damage on everyone
The swarm of parasites is getting worrisome, as even their super empowered skills cannot keep the worms and more at bay forever, but Killion continues hacking away, hoping to break through before the swarm finishes them all off. Some of the parasites seem to be evolving, growing wings in an effort to claim their prey. Outside thunderous explosions can be heard as the dragons continue their assault.
