\"monstermashlogo.JPG\"<\/p>\n

The setting:<\/strong> The Death Zone of Gallifrey:<\/p>\n

The Set-Up:<\/strong> It’s Monsters beating up other monsters to determine which race – in a fight – are the ultimate champion! No robots, mind.<\/p>\n

The Rules:<\/strong> Voting is open to YOU the reader. Assume the beasties have their own kit (but no spaceships of course). The most-voted for team wins each of their particular rounds and progresses to the next level.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Location: The Labyrinth
\nCombatants: Ice Warriors<\/strong> versus Nimon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mars’ finest come armed with sonic weapons and great swords for their noble class. Weaknesses include extreme heat. The Nimon can emit deadly beams from their horns and have great strength. Initiative is awarded to: Ice Warriors<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Location: The Catacombs
\nCombatants: Silurians<\/strong> versus Sycorax<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earth’s Silurians have built-in cranial emiters that radiate various energies including a lethal ray. The Sycorax have swords, spears, and blood magic (providing they get first blood!) Initiative is awarded to: The Sycorax<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nLocation: The Plains
\nCombatants: Refusians<\/strong> versus Vogans<\/strong><\/p>\n

The invisible Refusians have their relative lack of visibility as their greatest strength (although they don’t always have the wits to cover their tracks). They are also very strong. The Vogans are armed with projectile firearms. Initiative is awarded automatically to: Refusians<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Location: The Ice Caverns
\nCombatants: Cryons<\/strong> versus Tractators<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cryons of Telos are armed with energy blasters and thermal explosives, although exposure to even temperate climates can be fatal. The Tractators are unarmed, but have a Gravis as their coordinator. Their talent is to manipulate local gravity fields. Initiative is awarded to: Cryons<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Location:\u00a0Sky Arena
\nCombatants: Tetraps<\/strong> versus Menoptra<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Aerial combat! The Tetraps can fly for short distances and can paralyse with a bite. Their weapons fire nets. The Menoptra of Vortis can also fly and carry energy weapons. Their organisation is military. Initiative is awarded to: Tetraps<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Location: The Causeway
\nCombatants: Judoon<\/strong> versus Rutans<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Judoon carry flesh disintegrating blasters and are built, literally, like rhinoceri. Representatives of the Rutan Host can assume most animal forms and kill with electrical impulses. Movement in their natural state is awkward\u00a0 and exhausting. Initiative is awarded to: Rutans<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Location: The Rainforest
\nCombatants: Macra<\/strong> versus Krynoids<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parasitic Macra have great claws and strength on their side, using a hypnotic gas to overpower living creatures around them. The Krynoids consume animal matter and can control plant life within a localised area, movement in their natural state is limited. Initiative is awarded to: The Macra<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Location:\u00a0The Temple
\nCombatants: Voord<\/strong> versus Draconians<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our final bout of the day pits the rubbery Voord – silent amphibious assassins with nasty knives against the noble Draconians and their sword and blaster combo. Initiative is awarded to: The Voord<\/strong><\/p>\n
