I now go by Graf von Tirol.Since the discovery of Eridium in the planet Pandora, there has been a renewed gold rush where fortuneseekers sacrifice their lives seeking a vault, gathering progressively better guns along their travels. They would brave their way through bandits and hostile alien creatures in order to seek their prize, whatever the contents may be within the vault.
It was in an abandoned camp where a new vault was said to be that ten Vault Hunters met, all of them seeking the prize for themselves. With a vast array of arms, the ten individuals have brought themselves to an uneasy standoff, with each deciding on what tactics to undertake. Each one has been consumed by the bloodlust and greed from their travels, and took their positions in different areas of the camp.
The first casualty didn't watch his back, and was shot in the back of his head by a Maliwan pistol before being reduced to ash. Because the New-U systems were undergoing technical difficulties at the time, there was no indication that Earl the Marauder would return. The Vault Hunters brandish their guns and prepare their first moves.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.I now need PMs from bRaHiAn1, Jondanger23 and nbs4 for there to be an earlier update.
I now go by Graf von Tirol.Sorry for the slightly late update, but here it is:
As a start, it is a fairly uneventful event for a few of the vault hunters, who spent a great deal of time rummaging through the garbage and finding whatever ammo they can use, picking off an occasional skag that wanders into the premises.
BRAHIAN1 as THE DEMOLITIONIST
NBS4 as THE ENGINEER
SPEEDCHESSER as THE INTELLECTUAL
ICHIGO POCKY CHAMA as THE KUNOICHI
Ichigo was lurking around a shed, looking for a spot with which to land an ideal, stealthy kill. She also kept a strong shield to ensure that she could potentially last a while. Then she heard a voice: "If you expect to claim the vault yourself, you're in for a nasty shock."
Very shortly after, a Maliwan SMG was being fired towards her, and with the elemental attack being electric, her shield got depleted very quickly before she even saw her attacker, who then shot her with a slag pistol and then took out a cat o' nine tails for a melee finisher.
NINE TAILED CAT as PUN-ISHER
Temporarily fleeing the scene, Jon thought he would go through a bandit camp in order to find some better guns for claiming the vault's prize. He was a competent fighter and actually took out a fair number, but he failed to realize that there was a Psycho right behind him, carrying a grenade, before the beeping is heard. Bits o' Jon and Psycho flew.
JONDANGER23 as THE MEAT POPPET
NESGAMER1 as THE PISTOLIER
NESgamer1 grins as he sneaks towards Cathari Sarad, his trusty revolver in hand. NES looked down the sight and aimed, hitting Cathar in the back of the right shoulder. However, much to his dread, Cathari merely seemed annoyed by being hit. With a grin, he turned towards NES and said, "If it took more than one shot,..." *click* "you weren't using a Jakobs." With that, he took out a Jakobs shotgun and fragged NES's head beyond recognition.
CATHARI SARAD as THE LAWBRINGER
THE HOBO TORLE as THE VAGABOND
The Hobo Tortle looks through the camp, rummaging around the rubbish piles for ammo and better guns in preparation for his impending showdown. He then sees a shadowy figure start to strike with a blade, so he ducked just in time. Unbeknownst to him, that figure was only a decoy, and the real opponent has a cloaking device on him, waiting in the rafters with a Dahl sniper rifle in hand. Tortle didn't even have time to respond to the BANG BANG as the bullets went through his neck and forehead. The real assassin dropped onto the scene and took some of the guns as a prize.

Round 2 begins! Next update 24 hours from now, or when all survivors' PMs are in!
I now go by Graf von Tirol.-collapses in a headless heap, leaving behind a few dollars worth of money-
Wouldn't have surprised me if someone'd go into last stand and gotten a second wind to get their kill in via self-shooting. In any case, it was a shame that the revolver didn't do too well, and I was hopelessly gunned down. Well played, Sarad... ya dethroned me, but the crown's still up.

Thespeedchesser surveyed the room around him and calculated a plan to kill the rest of the vault hunters, one measurement at a time. He was planning to use the room around him in order to set a trap involving a series of explosives, placing several gas canisters in strategic locations. He sees Nine Tailed Cat dashing towards him and was about to set it off, but then the tHeBrAhIan1 throws a MIRV grenade at them both from the doorway. Thespeedchesser paused a second and shouted to himself, "SKAGSUCK!"
What ensued was an explosion that would have made Mister Torgue proud, and the whole building was reduced to rubble.
Fresh from killing a vault hunter, Zero continued to investigate around the shed he was in, searching for whatever survivor would potentially get in the way of his pursuit. It was then that he noticed a series of shotgun shells barely missing him. Zer0 scoffed at this and coldly remarked, advancing towards his quarry with a blade:
That gun made of wood,
You think you'll hit me with that?
Before he could finish, he was brained by a single sniper rifle bullet, and he collapsed on the ground, dead. Cathari stands near the corpse, and then has a retort of his own:
With all the events transpiring, all that remains at the camp are a vigilante lawbringer from a chaotic and faltering Pandora settlement (Cathari Sarad) and a former Hyperion engineer hellbent on fortune (nbs4). Both of them meet in a desolate street, intending once and for all to settle the score.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.And now for the conclusion of this:
The two vault hunters square off, Cathari holding a Jakobs revolver and nbs4 holding a Hyperion SMG. Both of them were anticipating the time that all of their rivals would be dead so that they alone would claim the contents of the vault. nbs4 called for an EXP Loader that she built herself in order to aid her combat, while Cathari focused his aim. The Loader dashed toward him and detonated, sending him sprawling to the ground. With his last gasp, he pulled the trigger and hit its mark; nbs4 took a slug to the head and they both collapsed.
It would seem that their efforts would have been in vain anyways; it had long been picked clean by bandits, and even so that effort took a substantial loss of life anyhow.
EVERYBODY IS DEAD!

Anyways, I'm up for the next game.
As an aside, if anyone were to be alive, it wouldn't be a "Shaggy Dog" Story.
