The noise from the Event crowd finally lulls to a dull roar. ### A cry is heard from the Event fairgrounds. The Event has run out of ABSINTHE! All the Irish let out a wail! Hordes of event partygoers raise their glasses to better days. ### Bolts of lasers bounce off the walls; Colven still reigns victorious. The power generators fail, multitudes are trampled in the panic. Mikah, blinded, trips over the broken robots. ### Tevildo wanders to the suicide booth, finally stumped at a riddle. Arithon slips past the hordes of men chasing him in the prison shower. All of Eru's children are wasted - the Hangover begins. ### Addicted-to-the-Arena Cozoq scrambles to recoup some of his lost 300k. Pretty Good and Somewhat Evil no longer rejoice together. Uruk-hai set out to clean Turseg of all the color. Stupid markers. ### A strange wail is heard from Dark Arda; someone got the typo reports! The arena pit bosses close their books, taking a hefty 150% profit. Sila and the other Mafia junkies all shuffle off to get their fix from Bob. ### The last of the froggies go to meet Eru the One Frog. Morwen gracefully kisses a large toad. Daraagus grumbles "Unthematic!" at an ornery frog as he crushes it! ### Scapegoat plays Toss the Hobbit(tm) and throws a hobbit at you! The "Save the Hobbits" campaign looks around fearfully. Heru calmly rips the Hobbit's head off. End of Hobbit. ### Salmar wrangles Carforgoth. Shelob prepares for a nice meal. Carforgoth burns down the arena. Sorry. Insurance will cover it. The Fellowship picks his bones out of the ashes. ### Finally sated, drunkards do as drunkards will and pass out. The rave transforms into a snoring mob. Khelban puckers up, waiting for one final kiss. Ayal happily complies. ### The wheel goes spinning out of control, nearly coming loose. Most get leprosy for 5d, except for Jaren who is suddenly sober. Glaurung eats the wheel, burping up a few accidental tourists. ### Montog takes a last drink, lamenting the loss of the deadly sledge. Unable to nail a duck, Mathias settles for nuking Ravathir. Again. Gambrinus dodges another hardban, fleeing with his Event badges. ### Explorers run through their dungeons, hacking and slashing with fury. Tuned blades hum as the adventurers reach the last room. Galuf eagerly waits, holding a pie in each hand. ### The sound of a heavenly choir suddenly echoes from above! Luthien wants to sing along but instead lets out a croak and blushes. Many Ardans look downward. Some are smarter and look skyward. ### A bright warm light shines from above as the voice of Eru sings: "Behold the Event, and what you have wrought, For with every Party, there is a Hangover, and with every Hangover a Party!"
