Go into the closest door.

Bamp finds himself in a long, narrow corridor. Traversing its entire length, he finds nothing. The monsters must be in the other room. The room with barrels nears the doors. During his trip, he hears a door open. Peeking from a distance, he doesn’t see what opened it. Hmmm…

Pull out your pistol back away and shoot the barrels.

(yeppers, I’d do the same)

Bamp figures if he’s gonna announce his arrival, it’d be best to do it with a bang. He shoots the barrels, silently cursing when he hears no cries of pain. Stepping forward, he’s greeted by a few glancing shots from a chaingun, and a fireball to the chest. Furious, he splatters the imp, then steps forward to nail the captain.

However, he notices the captain foolishly standing right next to another barrel. This time, the explosion sets off a reaction, and tortured screams echo from the darkness. Bamp is rushed by the survivors, killing them as fast as they come into view. After one particularly painful shot, his armor is in tatters, effectively useless now. The creatures stop coming after a while, and he steps into the room to check his handiwork.

Man, what a mess…

Crinkz Posted:

What a mess indeed. Explore the room.

Kicking aside pieces of rubble and hellspawn, Bamp looks around the abused room, and the one alongside it. There is a metric TON of 10mm ammo lying around, more than enough to replenish his supplies, a Small Health Globe and…oh god. Not one, but TWO of those white Invulnerability spheres from earlier! This’ll fix up his injuries quick smart.

In his glee though, Bamp pays little attention to his surroundings, and is slow to notice a former captain and his lackey pointing their weapons at him…

Grab a invulribility orb, then go to town on the monsters.

The ex-humans, enraged at the loss of their comrades, open fire on Bamp. Realizing that his pain will be irrelevant in a few seconds, Bamp grins, flips them the bird, then advances towards the Globe, slowly and deliberately. Stretching out with a yawn even as bullets thus into his chest, Bamp lazily grabs the sphere. The pain fades instantly, and the bullets instead start bouncing off his skin.

He allows the beasts a brief look of horror before plugging them full of lead. A couple of imps run into view wondering what all the commotion is, and they suffer the same fate. Bamp feels safe once more. Searching the floor quickly, he notices a reload mod. He has a space free, but given that he used around 130 bullets this floor, he wonders if he shouldn’t pick up some more ammo instead.

(Invincibility? Check. Thick armor? Check. Chaingun? Check. Hellspawn bastards that need a good splattering? Double check. LET’S FIRE THIS **** BACK UP!)

Running down the stairs, Bamp finds himself in a small room. Noticing only one obvious exit and wanting to kill as many beasts as possible before his invulnerability wears off, he runs at the door, shoulder charging it open.

Noticing nothing but some barrels, acid and a Small Health Globe, Bamp keeps running, listening for trouble. He hears a chilling roar, but simply scoffs. If he can find and kill this new beast quickly, it won’t even be able to scratch him. Running into (and decimating) a group of imps, Bamp continues his search for the new enemy. However, he suddenly feels normal once more. Oh well, have to deal with it the usual way then.

He has taken less than 5 steps when a large ball of acid whooshes past, inches from his face! Spinning, Bamp’s heart sinks as he finds himself staring at his target. It’d been following him the whole time.

He points his chaingun at the beast. It doesn’t even flinch. In fact, it even seems to grin defiantly at him. Bamp wonders if he can take this monstrosity…

About how tough is the hell knight? Is it likely Bamp (god I hate that name) will get killed?

Well, he’s represented by a capital letter, if that’s any indication. Log in to see images!

Seriously though, hell knights are pretty tough compared to what we’ve faced so far. They’re armored (which is annoying since we’re using a chaingun and armor applies to each shot), have fairly high HP, do a decent amount of damage, and their shots have a respectable explosion radius.

As for getting killed though? Unlikely unless we get REALLY unlucky. We’re at full health and nearly full armor, have a few healing items, and tons of ammo. We can fire off enough shots to kill it before it hurts us TOO much, but we’ll probably cop a bit of pummeling as well.

Terminate it. If things get too rough though, run for it and look for health globes or something.

Determined to wipe that grin off the male reproductive organy wanker’s face, Bamp starts unloading like crazy into the creature. Nearly all of the bullets hit it, but it simply growls and starts stomping towards him. Amazed at its ability to take punishment, Bamp stands like a rock, unyielding to the fearsome beast. Chuckling, it hurls another blast at him, grazing the marine’s hand.

He ignores the sting and desperately continues trying to bring it down. The hell knight is bleeding from dozens of bullet holes by the time it reaches him. Furious at this stubborn human, it rakes several gashes in Bamp’s chest with its wicked claws. Bamp begins to fear this might be his last battle, when the knight suddenly slows, staggers forward in one last feeble attempt at revenge, then collapses at his feet.

Sighing in relief, Bamp grabs some rockets the monster dropped, giving the huge corpse a savage kick just in case. He hopes that he doesn’t encounter too many more of them (*ominous music*). Checking his surroundings, Bamp finds nothing else that he really needs immediately, so he decides to continue exploring. Moving towards the east end of the floor, he hears several imps snorting. As he rounds a corner, he ducks just in time to miss a fireball. Noticing his opponents crowded around a barrel, he consigns them to a fiery fate.

He strides confidently through the fallen imps, feeling like nothing could possibly go wrong now…

GODDAMN IT.

Go to the top of the screen, “explore” east with the chaingun. go to the bottom of the screen, repeat. Hear any pained moos? If not, then the hellknight is probably in the big room to the east. Shotgun is better for the “exploring” if you got it, but you don’t, I’m thinking?

Shame about the former humans there. Would have been cool to push the barrel to your west east so that it’s near the wall, and blow it – that would also explode the barrel on the other side of the wall. Useful? Probably not. but cool Log in to see images!.

And by “explore”, I meant firing east with the chaingun until you hear pained moos. But that’s prolly not such a good tactic with that weapon, even though it could prolly work better with a pistol (less ammo wasted), with shotgun being the best.

They’re all in a nice line, let them have it! Kill them, get some health from the top of the screen, and then edge carefully into the room. If the hell knight is near the barrel, blow the sucker away (the barrel). If not, put run on with tab (get hit less), and shoot away at the hell knight.
