Second Batch of Winners of Tuesday, 10/05 2011

Gold Winner:
BlazeKING

Entry:

“Hear ye friends and lend ears to this storey
Of a brave young adventurer in his quest for Witcher glory
And you may think others deserving too
But this should leave no doubt that this man deserves The Witcher 2


Twas the night before Halloween 2009
And inside the student apartment house
Not a young man was sober and.. the contest was not over
From the untamed chaotic party came one callously mad man
With a grin on his face and a kitchen blade in his hand
His mission? Well planned,
To carve the feared White Wolf into a virgin pumpkin most grand

Cut by cut he made his mark! inch by inch well into the dark!
With pitcher at his side and ale bubbling in his cup
He carved and he carved vowing never to give up
The orange guts were flying!
The seeds of destiny were sown! - or perhaps thrown -
But! When the night turns over, his greatness surely would be known

Halfway done! he had nothing to fear
But Alas! Oh no! what was this sound he began to hear?
Twas a fair maiden coming close to whisper sweet nothings in his ear
What shall he do? What shall he say?
I alone heard what he had to convey:

"Back ye Back ye fair maiden, I have not finished!"
"My work shall go on and shall not be diminished!"

The struggle continued and people started to leave
Mumbling under their breath that this was something he could not achieve
But his good friend Steve was with him there in the fight
Cutting along side him on that cold autumn night
Dependable and strong like Zoltan of yore whilst,
Chugging his ale and letting loose one deafeningly mighty roar

The smashed-drunk adventurer continued his quest
onward he went!
onward he pressed!
And when he thought he just couldn't go on any more
The pumpkin was finished and he soon fell drunkenly to the floor

ZZzzz Zzzz "Ahhhh, Wha...WHAT?"

With cheer and with glee Steve awakened his friend
"You cannot stop now, the pictures we must send!"

The weary adventurer stumbled about
Trying to get the perfect shot and not face a rout
SNAP! He took it! and was proud of what he got
The White Wolf himself glowing bright red hot


"Steve, we did it! I can't believe it's true! But wide awake now, whatever shall we do?"
Steve had this ache in his belly and a grumble there too
He said, "Munchies! Munchies! we must get some food!"

The clever adventurer started thinking what to do
He came up with an idea, one clever but not new
"Pumpkin Pie my friend, that's what we shall chew!"
Steve replied, "Sounds better than lard and pickles, thats just Eww Ewwww".

They boiled and baked their prized carving
And by now the two friends felt pretty close to near starving
Now that the pie was rising and getting bigger
They opened the oven and covered it with the white frost and the white light of sugar

Once cooled and complete they dug in to eat
Slice here slice there, it really couldn't be beat
The famous White Wolf was now a part of them
They could not shake it
And little did they know all they had to do was bake it

With bellies full and mission complete
They went to their rooms and had dreams that were sweet

Little is remembered of that October night
Of the courageous souls and their epic pumpkin fight
And it may not be an adventure worthy of a Dandelion ballad
But the tale will live on, a truth that is most valid

Who is this adventurer that deserves The Witcher 2?
It's your humble poet, thankful, proud, and true. "

{Just as the Jury started to fear we were not going to see the pumpkins carved, BlazeKING also included these epic pictures to his epic prose:}

{It is the unanimous opinion of the Jury that Pumpkins are great! Pumpkin carvings are fun, pumpkin pie is delicious, and pumpkin prose (no doubt written under the influence of pumpkin mead) is Epic indeed. For this reason, Pumpki.... sorry... BlazeKING wins the second Gold Award of The Witcher 2 Countdown Competition!}
-------------------

Silver Winner:
Skoltnik

Entry:
“On the road to the Witcher's hall of fame
the assassins of kings stepped in his way
lost, without a past, the white wolf take's aim
no humans or beasts, not even whores gets away
of the Witcher's game

A task like no other, lies ahead
Is Alvin the Grandmaster, or even dead?
In the midst of a love battle between women
the only thing that counts, is the little Alvin
who are we kidding? It's really all about women“

{The jury enjoyed Skoltnik's poem, and decided to grant him the silver award of the competition. Well done, good Sir!}

Bronze Winner:

{When the companion cube papercraft is not enough of a companion for you, why not go with a Triss craft? For his art, Pedesh wins the second Bronze Reward of the Witcher 2 Countdown Competition}
