Good morning, Monsters,

With all the stuff coming out about the Crypts (Level 1), the intrigue, the draahhhmaaahh, I do want you all to know that there are actually some fun characters up there. With so many ghosts, there’s bound to be some jolly characters. Like Greythatch! Greythatch “Bear-Hug” Of Brawnwich, dead berserker. Loves giving hugs. And while he’s doing it he puts a little protection rune on your back! And there’s the three sisters skulls. They love to listen to your troubles and then craft a story that shows you how to navigate those troubles. A lot of people think their stories are too costly, demand too much change or could even be dangerous and unfortunately don’t take the advice. But still cool!

I realize this is starting to sound like a tourism pitch for the first floor. Don’t do that. Stories of the crypt is living, going to the crypts is dying. (but they’re some fun characters if you do end up there)

The Viva Battle-Royale Adventure Game Show

One of the experiments with the Game Show has been a set of Characters we’ve followed through three seasons of Viva. These seasons comprised a three act story for each of those characters.

This is the final season with these characters.
Their arcs conclude now.

Harland Sanders aka The Culler aka Slaughterhouse

Harland Sanders, chicken farmer. <wink>

That’s how most people would meet the charming hen-wrangler.

Harlands Sanders wore that charming smile all the time. Out on the town. Out on the field. In the barn while throttling chickens.

Hell, I’m pretty sure when I announced the first game of Season 13 he was wearing that same smile. Charm +1 indeed.

After he’d left, the people in his town would speculate about his constant smile. Some would say it became permanent after the big Spring ‘Splosion of 74 which, after finding the dead golden alien in his barn, was indeed confirmed to have been a spaceship crash. His wife would say differently (and secretly be so very grateful.), but we really don’t know.

What we do know now, is that his smile was the first thing he lost.

I don’t mean we would never see him smile again. Oh he will smile. You don’t want to see that though.

No, Harland Sanders learned the first lesson quickly. No one in the Dungeon required a smile. There were no expectations of masks. Those were, if anything, optional.

However, when he dropped the smile, he thought he’d be free.

But he couldn’t really zone out killing like he could before.
Apparently his smile was just one chicken.
And it was time to cull the flock.

For the second season he took on the name The Culler as he began to not only cull his opposition, but inside he was culling the chickens within himself. These chickens were beliefs he only held to keep him safe doing what he loved.

He didn’t need those shackles in the Dungeon. No one was here to make feel comfortable with a smile. No one in the Dungeon expected faked emotional responses. There was no fitting in. There was just more and more time to “zone out.”

From the ‘splosions of level 6, walked a large hulking shadow into the savage lands of Kanji. The shadow surveyed their new home.

Welcome to the Slaughterhouse. <wink>

Hope to see you tonight at 9pm EST on Twitch.tv/theLichingHour for some Viva!
