The lord of terror has trapped these characters in a warped realm in their minds (which they dont know, they feel its reality and cannot escape).

Each character is on their own, in the final battle their all together to confront diablo and his brothers but only those who make it to them.

Ryu hayabusa, have all weapons and powers
**
Warchief Thrall-warcraft..he has all his powers from the games, not books
**
Dante- no DT or time manip, but has all other weapons
**
Kratos-no magic, just blades of chaos, not God kratos
**
Link-Master sword and Mirror shield (if thats waht its called i cnt remember) Can ressurect 2 times and has 3 diablo super regen pots, which instantly restore his health
**
Cloud strife- has his bustersword but cant pull any magic or special moves, jsut his speed and strength in battle in the guantlet


Gauntlet

The Gauntlet consists of creatures from Diablo 2, everything has gameplay abilites only. 2 rounds, then a Boss and no CIS in the battle.Characters are restored after each battle to full health and strength

1. 100 fallen ones, 10 fallen shamans, each shaman is invulerable but will die if all 100 can be slain, they must be quick tho, shamans can resurrect fallen ones. Their warped versions, all with fire immunity

2. 200 skeletons, 100 archers, 100 warriors led by king leoric (he basically twice the height of a normal skeleton, only with a crown and a massive two hander), he can ressurrect skeletons, but not very quickly, only 2 per second.

3. Boss Andariel maiden of Anguish

4. Radament (Greater Mummy), he leads 5 other lesser greater mummies, all use dark magic, together with 100 normal mummies (easy to kill but poison pours from their bodies when they die)

5. Doom apes and Maulers, 100 of each

6. Boss Durel lord of pain

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act2-duriel.shtml

7. 50 thorned hulks and 50 council members

8. 60 Pit Lords

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act4-megademon.shtml

Any survivors now face the prime evils power, the evils still use their own gameplay powers, none from books

9. Mephisto-has all powers except Blizzard

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act3-mephisto.shtml

10. Baal-has all powers except Vile Effigy and blood mana

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-baal.shtml

11. Diablo- no red lightning hose
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act4-diablo.shtml

Diablo speaks into their minds, telling them that these were mere illusions, they now fight the real prime evils

12. Mephisto and Baal- all powers and full out, blood mana freezes dantes regeneration and harms him mentally when he uses his long range weapons, any ninpo causes damage to Ryu.

13. Diablo, Pandemonium- again, full power

heh as an ex-diablo player, the council memebers will probably be a HUGE annoyance for all of them. Story line wise, i think Most stop at Meph

hmm perhaps, but yes the ex councils are a real pain in the ass

Maybe Dante if he had help but since he doesn't...he'd get pwned. I don't think anyone makes it past 9.

how far do you think each will go then? seperatley? who do you reckon will actually get to 9?

hmm, Ryu probably since his lifes goal is basically fighting demons and evil and hes very skilled...
I havent really seen that many feats of Thrall but i doubt he'd get past duriel which reminds me a whole lot of Manoroth which he wudda got owned by if Grom wasnt there...
Dante probably since his goal is revenge on demons correct + although not sure how he'd do without time freeze and what not...

I dont think Kratos will make past duriel but thats jsut me

Link has trouble focusing on 2 skelletons at once ^_^ how's he gonna face 100+, maybe dinns fire wil help clear out 20ish but there goes about 1/3 of his magic right? Maybe andariel or more dependign on strategic use of Nyru's love (or wut ever the invincibility one is)

Now Cloud probably stops at Pitt Lords cause he does fine against mini creatures in large numbers but larger ones in bulk he has trouble with (the shadow hounds that Kadaj n friends summoned although he had lost his weapon... suppose he cudda took out another 1...)

Those with the best chance of beating meph probably are Ryu, Cloud (although CLoud and link have problems with the mass number groups me thinks), and Dante?

hmm yes i suppose i would agree, your points are correct

Ryu: I think he could possibly clear it. The guy is stronger than I ever thought. Armies will be no problem, he take on hordes of demons(Fiends in his game) and is also VERY fast and skilled, also strong as well. Since Ryu has TDS, he may actually clear it. If he has that AND DDB, he clears it.

Thrall: Loses to Duriel IMO.

Dante: He should at least get to Meph, he is still very fast, and hard as hell to put down.

Kratos: Okay, Kratos is fvcked here. Why you stripped him of magic is completely beyond me. He can at least get to Duriel like this, if he gets past him he stops at Meph. Armies are nothing to Kratos.

Link: May have trouble with the armies, tho he makes a living of killing large, powerful foes. He at least gets to Meph if he can somehow think his way thru the armies.

Cloud: Meh, I think at least Duriel.
