Colossus Colosseum

Colossus Colosseum is the fourth round of Pitched Combat.

Description
It's an arena with a giant statue that is very eager to kill the contestants.

Events
Rong immediately heads out to attempt to kill the Manikin but is stopped by the colossus and forced to battle it. Jordan gains some determination and decides that they need to kill the dragons. He grabs two swords and runs over to Alex to talk, but Alex doesn't think they can do it. The Manikin runs around as usual. Jordan and Alex are forced out and Alex starts fighting off the colossus while E/R/R starts chasing the Manikin. Jordan tries to take this chance to set E/R/R on fire, but E/R/R circles back on him while they are chasing the Manikin and Right attacks him, forcing him to swing a sword. Right manipulates his weight so that Eemp falls over and Rong's head gets cut off. Right then leads Jordan out of the fray and convinces him to destroy the magic-eating spiders inside of Eemp by heating them up. Alex is having a hard time fighting the colossus when the Manikin suddenly runs into its leg and decides to climb all the way up. He also finds Rong's head and uses her acid blood to ruin some of the glowing glyphs on it. Right tries to convince Jordan to collaborate with him in Alex's death so that they don't have to worry about the Colossus anymore, but Jordan instead scurries up into a hole. E/R gets caught up in the fight with the colossus before they can follow. Rong regrows her head just when her old one stops dripping blood. Alex throws the old head up at the Manikin who then eats it and turns into a pseudo-dragon. Alex and Right also gets Rong's head off again and they both start climbing the colossus in order to smear blood all over the place as the Manikin starts spewing fire everywhere on the head. Jordan comes across a sort of control room in the back and tries pressing a button which causes a maze to rise which topples the colossus over. In desperation, he presses more buttons which activates spike traps and releases flesh-eating beetles. The Manikin and E/R are safe on the upper part of the colossus, but Alex is still on the leg and so falls off and is skewered and then eaten by bugs. Jordan is traumatized.
