Round 2. The Heroes are stunned, as they face their new opponents in the arena. Three Mezzo Demons led by Lupin???
As The Heroes recuperate between rounds, they find a scroll engraved with Holloween Puns:
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 1: Female Warlock's Beer.*
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 2: Using a Gourd to Cover a Hole.**
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 3: Disguise Gala.***
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 4: Spirit Tales.****
The last three are famous monsters.
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 5: Hot Dog and Beer Mug.*****
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 6: Dress in a Canine Pelt.******
HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN PUN NUMBER 7: Fat Lady Singing Beneath 6 feet of Water.*******
Realizing that they recover everything between rounds, The Heroes attack with all of their dailies and pretty much kick the snot out of their overwhelmed enemies; but not before the Spine Devil unleashes one last volley of flechettes, which really gets under The Heroes' skins. As The Heroes recuperate between rounds, Felicia applauds and encourages them. Reminding them that they only need to survive two more rounds.
