Bye CB Contest #4 - Kung Fu fighting! (in Contests)


QBBarzooMonkey May 18 2005 2:10 PM EDT

Prize #4 is Sensei Boopadoo's Unarmed Combat package:

A Combat Gi [1] (+38) 407,710
A Pair of Helm's Gauntlets [4] (+8) 150,557
Shorty (a named Staff Sling 10 months 4 days remaining) [2x8] (+15) 119,491
447 Iron Shots [5x4] (+5) 1,914

The usual rules, first to get this right, one reply per contestant:

In the classic Kung Fu movie "The Five Deadly Venoms", the venoms were each a singular fighting style/skill taught to 5 individuals. In order, 1-5, what were they called (the order is important, because they would refer to each other by number, i.e. "I think that #2 has arrived in town! Look at this man's wounds only the ? could do that")

Good luck!

ALSO KNOWN AS... -PICK YOUR POISON- AND -FIVE VENOMS- THE DYING MASTER OF THE POWERFUL POISON CLAN DISPATCHES HIS LAST PUPIL ON A CRUCIAL MISSION. WORRIED THAT THE SKILLS HE HAS TAUGHT ARE BEING USED TO EVIL ENDS; HE ORDERS THE YAN TIEH TO TRACE A RETIRED COLLEAGUE AND WARN HIM THAT THE FORTUNE HE AMASSED FROM THE CLAN ACTIVITIES IS UNDER THREAT FROM FIVE OF HIS FORMER PUPILS. EACH AN EXPERT IN HIS OWN LETHAL COMBAT STYLE; THE CENTIPEDE; THE SNAKE; THE SCORPION; THE LIZARD; AND THE TOAD COMPRISE A TRULY INVINCIBLE FORCE. YAN MUST DISCOVER THE WHEREABOUTS AND TRUE IDENTITIES OF THESE DEADLY MASKED WARRIORS AND DECIDE WHICH; IF ANY; HE CAN TRUST TO JOIN HIM IN HIS PERILOUS MISSION. A BLINDINGLY CHOREOGRAPHED BLEND OF INTRIGUE AND VIOLENCE; -FIVE DEADLY VENOMS- ADDS A TRULY ORIGINAL DIMENSION TO THE KUNG FU GENRE.

I know, I saw that, I kicked myself in the teeth. So close is right.

Each member has a special skill. Pupil number one is the centipede, he fights with speed. Pupil two is the snake, well...because his skills involve manuevers a snake would use. Pupil number three is the scorpion because he fights with his tail end, or rather his deadly kicks. Pupil number four is the lizard, because of his gravity defying ability to walk on walls and attack with precision...and pupil number five is the toad. He has skin of armor that not even a sword can cut.

I forgot about google searches - luckily, it lists them in proper order, so emmett wins!
#1 Centipede
#2 Snake
#3 Scorpion
#4 Lizard
#5 Toad

Since that was so fast again, I'll offer up:

A Compound Bow [5x31] (+15) 740,707
1,224 Arrows [8x3] (+2) 3,130

to the first that can give me a brief description of each skill (what each venom could do to make them special)

Good Luck again!

PS emmett, where shall I send the goods?

Undertow May 18 2005 2:25 PM EDT

Nope, Google gave me a bad order, that's where I got my list.

QBBarzooMonkey May 18 2005 2:27 PM EDT

Khardin wins the bow & arrows! Beat me to my own question! I'm so impressed, I'll throw in my other Combat Gi (+11). Where to, Khardin?

Khardin May 18 2005 2:28 PM EDT
