Duel in the Crypt

The Duel in the Crypt was a conflict that occured during the Stythe Wars. SuperNutty, after being told by Frosty that Rudolf the Red-Nosed Strawberry Shitter had information about Reverend Salazar Stythe, journeyed to Rudolf's mountain and was told that Stythe had created many Corhruxes - mystical objects that preserve the life-force of their creators. Rudolf gave SuperNutty the Sword of Brian Blundell, a mythical artifact that could destroy Corhruxes with ease.

Only one Corhrux was known for certain at that time by Rudolf - the Staff of Salazar Stythe, which was used by the Cult of Stythe to bring Poundington back to life. Knowing this, SuperNutty ventured to the Crypt - a dark and brooding place that had been the home of the Bankington Spider before its death at the start of the War on the Maths Mafia. Knowing Poundington would be there, SuperNutty broke open the Crypt and was confronted by the beast. Using the Sword of Brian Blundell, SuperNutty wounded the creature, and it slunk back into the shadows, declaring SuperNutty the victor.

The Staff of Salazar Stythe then rose out of a pedestal in the ground - SuperNutty, intent on destroying the sceptre, swung his sword - but was stopped by Poundington. 'Touch the Staff!' Poundington said, and SuperNutty, suspicious of the spider but wary of the consequences of destroying a magical artifact at close-range and underground, reached out to grab the staff.

Upon his touch, the staff reacted - stabbing SuperNutty's hand and drawing blood, without leaving a wound. The staff then transformed from a wooden stick with a brass knob into a huge metal effigy of a serpent. With that, the floor of the Crypt opened - and Reverend Salazar Stythe himself emerged from a chamber beneath, newly resurrected.

Taking advantage of the diversion of Stythe's resurrection, SuperNutty fled with the Sword of Brian Blundell, but was blocked at the exit by Poundington. The rest of the Swords of the Soundboard arrived to help SuperNutty escape, and they fought through many Stythe cultists to reach the exit - however, Magnum TA was killed at the last second by Poundington, stabbed through the head by Poundington's razor-sharp limbs. Shocked, the Swords of the Soundboard could only look on in horror as they were transported away.
