Teleports
There has been a Critical Failure in the Portal Network this turn, hence the only one teleporting in was Luigi.
Ok, that was not entirely accurate... Another group is teleporting in near the House of Pain.
"oh bert, i was saving me for me. and what do you want with this lesser version anyway?"
"perhaps you'd like to take his place?"
It looks like a Demonic version of Nervyr has appeared, flanked by a squadron of Demon Troopers and an undead engineer.
He changes reality around him - Die rolls of 1 now get extra Bennies instead of 6s. All Actions are now rolled against an opposing Die of the same size instead of a set number.
This will actually turn a lot of battles this round.
Immortals
"Hey, Immortals! We should ally or something Kill demons, split the Loot in here, what d'ya think?"
"Sure. As long as you leave the sarcophagus alone"
"what's this? brikwarriors allying for strategy? HUBRIS! WHERE IS THE GLORY IN THAT?!?!"
"simple minds playing in a box not their own. you shall all be my toys."
Reality changes again. Lucivyr's demonic magic makes the heroes realize that they are not the center of their allience. Crankiness spreads amongst them.
The Immortal Troops focus fire on the Cyberdemoness.
While some of them miss, the demon still gets hit a good amount of time.
She takes a couple of devastating wounds, but survives - barely.
Kelly attempts to violently convince the Cyber to stop adventuring, by shooting the Monster in the knee.
She cleanly blows the Tyrant's leg off.
The Monster goes down on one knee, doing her best to not fall off the tower.
The Legionnaire's Commander see's his chance and leaps up.
One of the Troopers tries to hit him off with his spear, but the Immortal manages to jump past him and cling onto the Cyber's breast.
With a swing of his chainsword, he finishes off the giant demon, taking off her head.
As the demon starts to fall, the Commander loses his footing and drops from the tower - luckily, nothing bad happens to him. Well, almost.
The Cyberdemon's corpse slides off the tower.
And buries three of the Legionnaires, including the Commander, underneath her.
Everyone survives, but is disrupted. The Flamethrower Immortal manages to jump out of the way in time.
Demons - Group One
Angered by the Tyrant's Fall, the Zombies charge the Immortals.
One of the Chaingunner fires at the Terrorkhan and the Legionnaire that got hit by the Cyber's foot.
Thanks to bad rolls and Lucivyrs new "if you Crit Fail, you do more damage" rule, the Chaingun does massive amounts of damage.
The Terrokhan Heavy Gunner and the Legionnaire get shot down.
Again, thanks to Lucivyr, rolling three ones in a row meant a bunch of Bonus damage - enough to nearly kill Kelly.
Luckily for her, the last Terrorkhan is close enough for her to grab and use as a shield.
On the other side, the Zombiemen shoot at the other Legionnaires. The one that isn't disrupted gets pulverised by focused plasma fire.
And the Assault Rifle Zombie manages to kill the Legionnaire commander.
The final Chaingunner attempts to kill a bunch of sentient coffee beans, but only manages to shoot one of their weapons.
Lucivyr and friends
Lucivyr's engineer shoots at the last living Legionnaire in range.
The Immortal miraculously survives, but he's now buried under a Cyberdemon AND some concrete.
The Trooper with the balista attempts to finish off Kelly.
But the Flamethrower Legionnaire uses his Flamethrower as a rocket booster and jumps in the way. Kelly survives, but she runs out of troops fast.
"The fuck they doin' ova there?"
The other two Troopers shoot Bert with their reapers.
One misses, the other doesn't do enough damage to kill Bert - his hair is on fire again, though.
Mad Mario's Mercenaries
The Mercs charge through the teleporter and get warped to the higher level of the Bloodfalls. Only Madmario himself doesn't quite make it this turn.
The Double Gunner and Medic shoot and pulverise the nearby Revenant.
While the long ranged Merc shoots one of the Plasma Zombies in the back.
not having anything better to do, MadMario jumps the Vagary and kills the spider.
Skion
Skion Troops kill two more Zombies.
They then run towards the teleport and follow the mercs to the high ground.
Demons - Group 2
Luigi sneaks up behind Cain's Acolytes. He fires his machine gun into their backs, but Buzz's barriers block the bullets.
One shot breaks through the shield though and kills one of the cultists.
Studland
Bert shoots at the Demon trooper who gave him a haircut - with no success.
His tentacle headed grunt hits the other trooper and knocks him off the roof.
The demon survives the fall, but gets shot by the other Grunt outside.
The Rocketeer takes cover inside the tower to attack the next person who comes into the house of pain. (sadly, I forgot all about that. Sorry, bert.)
Bert then Heroically leaps onto the sarcophagus.
He pulls out his rifle, puts it against the Trooper's head - and misses.
"Another!"
he tosses his gun and waits for his troops to supply him with more.
The Grunt who just found new armor tosses him the rifle of the fallen Studlander next to him.
Bert repeats his previous endeavor and... misses the trooper again.
A plasma rifle gets tossed to him. he takes aim and... misses.
Finally he gets the demon with one of the Immortals' rifles.
he continues firing with another Plasma rifle, trying to take down Lucivyr's Sniper. Of course, he misses.
The last Immortal gun was pretty accurte, maybe a second one would... no, still missed.
Luckily, two of the demons dropped their Reapers. Bert picks up the first one and... missses.
The second one though hits and knocks the sniper off the tower! he dies as he hits the floor.
First Try!
Demons - Group 3
The remaining Trites jump Sniper Steve. Not able to ract in time, he gets swarmed and falls off the pillar.
Before the spiders can kill him though, magic chainsaws appear around him.
Steve gets teleported back to the Brikverse, saved by the Chainsaw magic of Cain himself.
The Cult of Cain
Betty tries to shoot down the highest platform to crush the Studlanders and Immortals. Her damage isn't high enough though.
Gunter picks up his Chainsaw and reattaches it to the Shotgun barrels.
He and one of his Cultists then charge me, for whatever reason.
i wish I could tell you that I did some sick Matrix dodging here. In reality, both of these morons just missed completely.
The Gunners did aim a lot better. They nearly hit me, but I was able to block their shots with my noteblock.
Buzz kicks open the door to the house of pain. The shockwave disrupts Tentacle Head.
"Boom, Baby!"
Her cultists follow her, ready to enter and shoot everyone.
Demons - Group 4
The remaining Revenant fires a missile at the Brootal rocketeer, but his target jumps out of the way.
He doesn't jump far enough though and the missile manages to correct its course.
BOOM!
Brootals
The Brootals finally manage to kill one of the Chaingunners.
The other Brootals see that the gate to the House of Pain ins clogged up and leap up to the roof.
From there, they attempt to take out bert.
But his Grunt jumps in the way.
The Boss grabs a part of the House's roof.
He throws it at Kelly...
But misses and knocks one of his own troopers off the roof.
The Brootal dies on impact with the ground.
Space Cops
The Cops do cop things.
First, the two long-ranged gunners shoot the Engineer for throwing concrete without a permit.
Dasher meanwhile shoots at Lucivyr for messing with the fabric of reality.
Lucivyr falls off the tower and suffers a mild concussion.
The cops the move towards the green portal.

Htere's still a lot alive on the heroes' side
Studlanders have taken some losses, but these two are still around. Also, hard to see, there's still a living legionnaire under this rock
Bert's still alive
So is Kelly
The cult of Cain is still looking strong
So are the brootals, though they are a lot more spread around the map. The heavy gunner and one normal Soldier are on the house of Pain
The hero is chilling with Luigi near the Slough of Despair
Betty is a bit further away from the rest of her mates, but still alive
However, there's a large group of Trites right next to her
3 more Brootals are hanging out at the eastern edge of the battlefield
One chaingunner is still alive, so is Lucifer - the latter has a bit of a headache though.
Last but not least, there's still a Revenant guarding the orange Teleports.

Short version:
MadMario, the Cops and one Skion trooper are near the green teleport, the rest of Skion and the Mercs are one level above them.
Studland got reduced to Bert, the rocketeer and the trooper with Revenant armor.
The immortals got decimated, only Kelly is left and one Legionnaire who is currently buried under Cyber-Boobs and a pile of concrete.
Brootals and Cultists are still in pretty good shape, most of them are at the House of pain (except three Brootals near the orange TP.
The demons also got decimated, only one chaingunner, one Revenant, 5 Trites and Luigi are still alive - but more might be coming soon.
Oh, and I survived the Cult's attempt at my life.
