  • Sorry was running late for work this morning and didn’t get a chance to update it before I left. My records are at home so I will have to update it this evening.

    Keep in mind that even if I don’t add immortals you still get your two votes per day. Up to you if you want to see who is added or go ahead and vote. I’ll add 2 more tonight and 2 more tomorrow morning.

    • Well, all ready started McCormick on Gallen so that's where he's concentrating. 1 problem at a time. Ashe thinks he can probably take Raines.

      5. Methos = 12
      25. Kyra = 10
      29. Caspian = 09
      38. Jin Ke = 05
      45. Katya = 08
      47. Cory Raines = 04
      48. Anthony Gallen = ELIMINATED
      49. Matthew McCormick = 08
      51. Lucas Desiree = 03
      52. Graham Ashe = 06

          • The combatants take note of the hulking newcomer. Ursa cuts an intimidating figure, but he's not really going to outclass anyone here (well, except for maybe Raines or Donnelly, but they're staying out of range). Jin Ke and Caspian step up and get a few critical hits in.

            • Caspian moves in for the kill against Lucas, who can;t stand up to the ancient's blitz. Jin Ke, meanwhile, puts Gallen out of his misery. Meanwhile, Matthew confirms Caspian and Evan Casp-ari are in fact the same person. His former student, Cory Raines, is still alive. Matthew approaches him and tells him what he has realized, showing him the FBI file on his phone (modern technology has its' pluses) Matthew begins to try to convince Cory they need to go after Caspian. Cory doesn't seem especially open to this idea. Methos notices those two. Does he attempt to sic Caspian and Jin Ke on them or ignore them......

              Graham Ashe begins to try and woo both Kyra and Katya. He suggests they slip away and he will recite some poems while the other two entertain him, and perhaps each other. The girls smirk. Will they attack him, ignore him, or .... something else? This is the Royal Rumble dammit! But Ashe insists there is always time for le manage a trois.

                yeah both Desiree and Gallen are both dead. I'll keep your Caspian & Jin Ke votes posted, but you have 2 more negative votes if you want to use them.

              • Sorry about that guys. I would have gone the same way, but tried to incorporate Ursa and Andrew as well.

                • Ursa realises he's outmatched and flees into the corridors and stairways to the parking garage. Caspian's thrill for the hunt is awakened and he follows suit,
                  Matthew McCormick realises this is a chance to get Caspian and drags Cory Raines with him.

                  Cory is tasked with the distraction of Jin Ke, to buy McCormick enough time to close the case with Caspian.
                  In the garage McCormick intercepts Caspian and gets his full attention by a slash to his leg.

                  In the meantime Katya and Kyra decide to have some fun with (for?) the charismatic Graham Ashe.

                  • Cory Raines finds it quite difficult to keep up with the lightning-fast Jin Ke, and takes some damage. Andrew tries to get in on the Kyra/Katya/Ashe action, but he's dismissed due to being a complete toff. McCormick keeps up the attack on Caspian, while Methos rests up.

                    • Methos is a little delighted to be shed of Caspian at least for now and leaves him to his fate, Cory however takes it in the neck and is eliminated.

                      • Matthew McCormick is trading blows with Caspian.
                        Donnelly gets a whack from Graham Ashe for interrupting.

                        Ursa starts to feel better down in the dark corners of the lower corridors.

                        • I was only gone for half a day! Boy this moves fast sometimes. Oh. Oh poor Andrew Donnelly. He barely was a flicker in the show. He deserves better than this. Matthew is on his own now, having so carelessly left Cory to his fate. He is wearing on Caspian, though. Graham Ashe's instinctive habits take hold and he teaches Kyra and Katya a few um... old tricks.

                              Caspian is a 4,000+ year old expired fighter and killer. He gets his feet set and relishes a challenge and a fight. He is one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse. He is not your typical bad guy of the week. He's not going down easily. Andrew Donnelly is NOT a fighter and easily gets picked off.

                              • Matthew and Caspian are going full tilt, as Matthew caught up to him before he finds Ursa. He has already slashed Caspian across the leg as we saw in Ward's earlier post. Caspian asks who the hell he is and what the hell he wants. Matthew pulls his badge and says "I am FBI agent Matthew McCormick and I specialize in hunting monsters like you. In the name of the law, I am placing you under arrest. And in the name of decency, I am sending you to Hell where you belong". Caspian looks very annoyed, but smiles and tells Agent McCormick that's not going to be as easy as he thinks. Matthew sees something from the side. Jin Ke emerges from a doorway with Cory's sword in his hand. He throws the sword at Matthew's feet. Matthew realizes he is in trouble. Caspian advances quickly and slices Matthew across his sword arm. In the shadows, Methos watches with semi-glee. He sees something across the way, also in the shadows. A very large figure. No doubt it is that lumbering fool Ursa, Methos thinks to himself. If only Silas were here. He would probably want to make a pet of Ursa at first before putting him down.

                                Elsewhere, Graham is totally trying to get with Kyra and Katya. Off in the distance. He sees a tall, slender redhead has joined thee affair. Perhaps she would care to join, or maybe later when he is finished with his two current beauties. He continues his current course, as he is reciting a poem he wrote. He hears a voice behind him. The voice is chilling and confident. He turns slowly, dropping his parchment.

                                "Graham Ashe?"

                                "I am Graham Ashe."

                                "I am Otavio Consone. And I am here for the prize." He sees Katya and Kyra. "Several prizes, perhaps. Hola mis hermosas damas."

                                The mood has changed. Drastically.

                                  I'm having trouble with this Methos, though. This is not the Methos of poisoning Kronos and dumping him down a well to get away, or the man who trained Byron, or the man who tended slaves, or the man who fell head over heels for Alexa. This might conceivably be the Methos of To Be Or Not To Be, who found all of the Watchers corrupted, whose fiance mistakenly led his enemies to him, and died for it. Who was rescued by Kronos rather than enslaved by him...

                              • If Kyra and Katya, experienced Immortals, don't find something uncomfortably slimy about Consone, - to both of them. In the meantime, though, Consone makes a quick and powerful attack on Graham Ashe, whose outdated fighting style costs him.

                                • Matthew McCormick realises he can't defeat Caspian because of plot armour and decides to retreat. He gets some help from Ursa who noticed that McCormick was the reason for his escape.

                                    Perhaps, but Methos has several episodes of evidence to suggest his brightness, and his presence in the evil of The Source, where he probably got away from the cannibals and out of range to recover his Immortality.

                                • There is no plot, people are just writing to their prejudices, I'm just trying to write a logical posts with people where others put them. Personally think McCormick would do well against Caspian. It would be a nail biter fight.

                                    Ursa has 4 points, I think I made a mistake earlier.

                                • How is it a plot hole that two immortals with 9,000+ years of experience between them don't just get wasted in a melee? Meanwhile, we're throwing points on Ursa who has NO skill whatever-so-ever and Katya who we NEVER even saw fight. I'm not attacking your choice to vote for those characters because you clearly like them and/or think they would do well here. I think an immortal with Methos's experience would do well here. You act like I'm piling up points on Michelle Webster or something. I get it, you don't like Methos.

                                  Lets just be nice to each other and try to have fun with this. It's a game.

                                    I, on the other hand, LOVE Methos. I know he's not an angel, but he's definitely layered AND a survivor!

                                    Same, he's actually my favorite HL character. But I agree he has limits. I've voted against him plenty of times in other tournaments. He ran into the Kurgan in the first single elimination tournament we did in like round 3 and I voted for Kurgan. I think the Kurgan is a TERRIBLE match-up for him. But in this open environment where he has an ally or two, I think he'd be okay for a bit. Depends on the draw on how I think he would do.

                                      dubiousbystander - I am more writying Methos as an ancient immortal who has survived 5,000 years doing MANY different things. Honestly, if Duncan, Connor, Sean Burns, Richie, and The De Valicourts were here as opposed to who we currently see, Methos would be behaving differently.

                                      Ward - Plot Armour? I get you don't like Methos. In my own rankings, I have him ranked lower than the other three Horsemen. I haven't been giving him points. More trying to completely avoid the fight and having him almost come off as hiding behind others and using everyone else as chess pieces.

                                      Ceridwen - I TOTALLY agree about Matthew and Caspian. While, in one on one, Caspian would probably take him, this is EXACTLY the type of person I think Matthew would be hunting, immortal or not. My thought process for that was that I knew Cory couldn't stand up to Jin Ke. But I was thinking if another immortal that could handle Jin Ke entered the game, it just might turn out different and Jin Ke wouldn't make it to where Caspian and Matthew were. But Consone arrived and Cory didn't survive. It easily could have gone another way. But I agree with you for sure about Matthew.


                                      And, for the record, it did cross my mind to have Ashe, Kyra, and Katya start having some fun and take pluses and minuses that way.

                                      Also for the record, I am just trying to come up with cool stories to include most of the immortals currently involved. There are certain immortals that, if they arrive soon, could VASTLY change how things are going.

                                      • Kyra will cive Consone a good fight but she is no match for him. She sees a glimmer of hope, as Katya beheads Kristen. Amanda, meanwhile notices Kyra is in serious trouble and sees Katya moving over to help. She could help the ladies and possibly eliminate Consone. But as she thinks, she sees another immortal. Oh, it's that fucking Kit O'Brady. She feels her hate suddenly flare up.

                                          But she doesn't hate Kit now. She had hated him because she thought he burned down the saloon. Awe!

                                      • Methos is thinking carefully. Caspian makes an excellent ally, but they're separated and worse are certainly coming down the line. And Amanda, who he knows would have given up her crystal to help him save Alexa, is a dear friend. He knows Kit is no threat and not malicious, so he heads her off to give her the lowdown. The greatest danger in their current situation is Consone, for he is very possibly one of the best fighters in this whole group. Possibly Caspian and McCormick could match him.
