Please Xcrawl, Don't Hurt 'Em

"What an intense round we've got here!" the announcer says into his Loud Mouth Microphone and looking at one camera. "I think they're putting on a warm-up show for the crowd. A tightly packed group of undead is an ideal target for a messenger to turn, but instead the Houston Hexcrawler's messenger, Bole, the Tree of Repudiation, went with a projectile attack and scored a solid hit! 'Bombastic' Butch was not so lucky but he did look good doing it. Sassafrass returned just in time for the attack but her shot missed by mere inches. Vi Vi scores a glancing both but took worse in the exchange! That reminds me, if you are looking to exchange your currency, try Quik XChange, the only currency exchange to offer deferred payments. Back to the match, it appears their blaster was going to unleash a spell but took a nasty hit and lost his concentration. Tymun the dwarf mechanic also doesn't escape unscathed but he returns more than he got with a direct chop to a zombie's torso. The clear winner this round is HH's athlete, Gabriel Carver. While he took a knife to the arm, he severed the zombie's arm, literally disarming it! That was followed by a whiffing punch but let's focus on the disarm!"

"What a beautiful turning by Bole! Four of the purge zombies are fleeing straight past the Houston Hexcrawlers and out of the building! They have been removed from the game. The two remaining zombies attack Butch and Callan. Ooh! A direct hit to Butch's shield has shattered his weapon! That zombie is...dead meat! Thank you, thank you, hold your applause. The one attacking Callan has also missed by a wide margin and will surely not survive the next few seconds! What a quick turn around!"

"And what a spectacular finish! It was a foregone conclusion that the zombies would be pulped, but it's always great to see such style! I think that frozen one can be saved for later so let's get that one wheeled out and thawed for a future game. It's a good thing this building is set for demolition anyways, I'd hate to be the janitor to clean up this mess! Anyway, Crawl fans, the Houston Hexcrawlers have defeated the elevator trap and are likely to ascend to the rooftop for the real first challenge. We'll rejoin them at the top after a word from our first sponsor, Go-Go-Godzilla Personal Trash Compactors!"

Eventually, the elevator stops and the doors upon to reveal a threadbare lobby on the 40th floor. There is a ladder going up to a closed trap door in the ceiling. The first apartment door to the left of the elevator is marked NoGo. Anyone who makes it down here can run into that apartment where they will be declared out of play and disqualified, but alive.

Continuing up the ladder, you emerge onto the roof to a huge cheer. You see stadium seating on the three tall buildings on the sides of the one you stand on, and the capacity crowd are all on their feet. Looking up you see a huge three-sided AVS scoreboard slowly revolving over the roof.

The roof has several interesting features. In the very center is a huge steel wingnut, more than 40’ across, it looks as if it weighs tons. It is screwed down on an equally massive threaded bolt that comes up through the roof. Across the side is painted "RIGHTY TIGHTY," in large, jagged letters.

Set around the edge of the roof are five purple corrugated steel containers, each decorated with large question marks on every side. At the opposite end of the building from where you stand is a huge teeter-totter—an absurdly huge thing, big enough support a compact car. The teeter-totter sits behind a double row of barbed wire. The near end of the teeter-totter is currently down, and there is a
large barrel set upon it. You see a stack of barrels next to the teetertotter as well. Behind the teeter-totter is a huge billboard with a
vintage advertisement for Chrysler. The announcer says: "Crawlers, your challenge is to unscrew and remove that wingnut. Begin!"
