Harrumph! EVERYONE GET READY FOR THE MASSACRE!
-To the north of the Pyramid of Fire we can see a massive sasquatch wrestler (S) ready to smash and piledrive his opponents to their doom!
-To the northwest, another wrestler of a different race, a kobold(k, kobold 1) of such talent that it could be very well said that he is the current reincarnation of Rey Mysterio himself!
-To the north east, yet another kobold(k, kobold 2) but with an odd choice of equipment in the form of a ladle made entirely in adamantium. Will this odd choice turn him into an oddball Wolverine or just a ...well a ball of blood and gore?
-To the west we have the most refined warrior of the battle, a human(U, human 1) with a silver bow and a quiver full of silver arrows. Almost close to the grace of an authentic elf, will he show prowess in archery comparable to them?
-To the east, a beast of legend ready to bring his strength of myth to ruin his opponents! An authentic minotaur(M) equipped only with a shield and his unbridled fury!
-In the southwest, a little gremlin(g) who seems to already know the ins and outs of this kind of battles. Equipped with cunning, a whip and a weird name like Pissant, he seems confident in his victory already despite his diminutive size!
-In the south, we have a brutish barbarian! A human(U, human 2) equipped like an orcish warrior: a massive silver maul and an helm not to cover his identity but to shield his eyes from his enemy's blood splatters! With a copper mail to protect his mortal coil, will this machine of war reach the glory he seeks?
-And last, but not least, in the southeast the third kobold of our ensemble (K, kobold 3) has oversized mandibles and seems extremely jittery and twitchy! Will the opponents be able to hit such a erratic creature?
Well then, make your bets! And let's start the CARNAAAGE!
Nope, but sorry I've already started the arena. Next time I'll add a more precise ruling to explain everything.
Sorry, we're already full :(
i would like to give names to the combatants, so that we can more easily tell them apart
Beerbloated the Dank Balls, Sasquatch Vanguard
Reverse Santa, Kobold Child-Snatcher
Pissant, Kobold LARPer
Ramzee, Kobold Sous Chef, Keeper of the Ladle of Armok
Punchmaster, Minotaur Gentleman
Harvey Shuttlecock, Human Garage Sale Enthusiast
General Heartland, Human Miniboss
Redgums, Kobold Lawyer
>Ladle Kobold in between a Sasquatch and a Minotaur
Oh no
Ohohoho! And here we start with the first skirmishes!
-On the north, we can observe the sasquatch luchadore fighting with the oddball adamatine kobold cook! The sasquatch immediately uses his immense strength to try putting into submission the little chef by grabbing him directly by the upper front teeth like some kind of brutal russian movie, but the kobold refuses to submit and immediately frees himself from the gruesome hold without a scratch by slamming real hard the sasquatch's arm with a barrage of ladle strikes of such intensity to twist the titan's left shoulder!
-On the west there is a three way battle ready to engage between the Silver Archer, the gremlin and the luchadore kobold! There isn't much to say of them now, as they have only just reached each other. The gremlin is nearby the human and ready to make its first move, while the archer is temporarly stunned by a mighty punch delivered by the kobold. A punch so powerful to bruise its left arm muscles even through the leather armor!
-And on the southeast zone of the Pyramid, the Minotaur is running and snorting towards the barbarian and the bitey kobold, eager to satisfy his innate bloodthirst. In the meantime, the barbarian managed to deliver a nasty strike with his maul on the bitebold's left upper leg!. But the twitchy creature quickly recovers and with a well aimed right hook he shatters the barb's lower left back teeth, sending them flying in the air like shooting stars! (As you can see from the picture, it's the little white z)
kek, good names. why not?
Wrasslebold better win this
Any way to see detailed combat logs or is it too annoying to post? I like reading the descriptions.
Sure. I would have posted them now anyways to show all the gore of the advanced phases of battle.
Pissant here, i am genuinely surprised by the effectiveness of the Sacred Ladle. adamantine, as a material, is "impossibly light and flexible," even lighter than cork or the fictional featherwood found in good-aligned biomes. to swing that shiny feather with enough force to twist a fucking sasquatch's limbs is a mind-boggling reminder of Dwarf Fortress-style brutality
i am on the edge of my seat OP, pray continue
better off doing 1vs1s with an open log and generating webms of the action
Blood! Blood for the Blood God! Which is Armok in this case. Khorne will have to wait for another time for his tributes. The battle has advanced enough so that we can see a lot of mutilation and suffering!
-In the north, the sasquatch is getting REAL mad for how Ramzee keeps resisting to his attack and therefore starts charging and throwing the kobold around like a ragdoll, squashing bodyparts of the chef like nobody's business! But the chef sure is a sturdy one and even after this nightmarish assault he keeps delivering ladlehits to the massive beast!
-On the left, the Silver Archer Harvey managed to hit the luchakobold's left upper leg with a precise shot! The arrow crushed the poor kobold's muscles and bone! Such a crippling injury! Will he be able to recover from this difficult position? Before getting hit though, the luchabold showed to be quite proficient in his profession(or some would say art) as he singlehandedly browbeated Pissant into submission into a wonderful serie of locks and throws, disarming him too! What a luchadore! (I'll post next the reports, they're awesome kek)
-And in the south, we can see a LOT of blood and violence! From the most brutal skirmish of the battle, the minotaur has joined the fray with such terrifying, mythological rage to have shaken even the mighty barbarian! The horned fury strikes the barbarian with punches of such intensity to rip and tear his flesh apart! But the barbarian has a lot of grit and keeps fighting....wait a minute...where is Redgums?...
OH NOOO! The kobold met a most grisly fate! Trying to avoid a maiming punch from the minotaur, he made a successful roll that allowed him to avoid the hit...but he miscalculated the landing and fell in the lake of lava below! Oh poor kobold!
I'll post only the juiciest reports.
That'd be easier, but I love writing flavor lol
I was really surprised as well for the same reason kek I expected that kind of behavior from silver but not from adamantine!
>to swing that shiny feather with enough force to twist a fucking sasquatch's limbs is a mind-boggling reminder of Dwarf Fortress-style brutality
Or an example of bad design/coding
it actually sucks as a blunt material but its fucking amazing as any weapon with an edge and armors
>Can build computers
>But can't build guns
Why?
they aren't americans
OP you still there?
And the skirmish in the north is over, as the titan of cold finally manages to put an end to the admirable endurance of his culinary opponent with a true onslaught of violence!
It's over for Ramzee!
Hell yea, go Squatch, go!
The sasquatch reported a lot of bruises and a deeper cut in the leg from the kobold's resistance.
Man this sasquatch is kickin ass
Some would call him sly, others a coward, but the Silver Archer has shown to be quite sensible to stay away from trouble. As Pissant and the luchabold beated each other to Hell and back, he giddily took potshots as they fought!
F for Redgums
Such an astounding struggle, tainted only by the opportunism of Silver Bow Harvey
as soon as he lost hold of the ladle, he started jobbing. F for Ramzee, his death was SO FUCKING RAW
fun fact: the primary danger of having points in the Dodging skill is this right here. your own highly-trained Urist McRedshirts in fortress mode will cunningly dodge an unarmed kobold's clumsy kick, and dive right off the side of a cliff in the process. strike the earth, indeed.
The minotaur, now that Redgums is gone , is completely focused on General Heartland the Barbarian. And even if the human warrior is no stranger to violence, he has to succumb to the atrocious ferocity of the beast's assault, which final charge makes him fall in the same fiery fate that befell on poor Redgums. And, even as the barbarian's flesh is melting in the fires of the lake of lava, the minotaur doesn't stop his attacks, throwing punches at the nearby and slowly, painfully melting warrior! What a horrible show!
>I've been injured badly. Waaaaaa
Bump
To resume the situation.
-Ramzee has fought valiantly to the very bitter end, but eventually perished at the hands of the Sasquatch.
-The Barbarian is melting in pain along with Redgums the Kobold
-The minotaur is a fucking death machine just like the sasquatch
-Silver Bow is smart, but a dick
-Luchabold and Pissant are still fighting each other heroically, but their lives are slowly coming to an end.
>I've been wounded. That's very annoying.
fuuu that brutal finisher
>squatch picks up the broken kobold by his foot and delivers a coup de grace to the head
Egads! Just like the Minotaur's sheer bloodlust is his greatest strength, it seems that it's also his greatest weakness. Instead of focusing on the other enemies now that the Barbarian is off the game, he kept attacking him as he was melting.
But! As he struck and struck, he mistakenly hit the lava directly, getting splashed with the searing death! Will he survive this grave mistake?
>THE TURD REFUSES TO FLUSH
>OH GOD THERE'S SOME ON MY FACE
I've checked the body of Redgums and the General since they were still melting, but still alive and...God, poor guys!
The duel between Pissant and Luchabold keeps raging on, interrupted only, again by the potshots of Silver Bow
Pissant's left foot is not having a good day
"W-what? I-it can't be over yet! I'm Santa the L-luchabold! I'm famous! I-I'm loved! I can't lose this fight! I never lost b-before! This can't be!"
god DF is so fucking cool
The luchabold tries to move away from the devilish archer, while the human , with all the calmness of the world, keeps shooting arrows with gleeful satisfaction at the poor Pissant, who is lying incapacitated on the floor nearby him, each arrow a closer step to his death.
However...the mighty sasquatch is starting to make his move toward west! Maybe his glacial strength will unwittingly bring punishment for the human's dishonorable behavior?
In the meantime, Redgums and the General finally melted even their brains, ending their suffering once and for all (3 deaths until now)
And the minotaur's flesh, even if sprayed lightly by the lava, is melting away in the upper body the zone hit by it!
>Kobold 1 sneaks up behind Gremlin 1, locks his arm, and breaks it causing Gremlin 1 to drop his whip
>Gremlin 1 starts gut punching Kobold 1 with his shield
>Kobold 1 fucking tosses Gremlin 1 up and kicks him mid-air
Silver Bow Harvey, seeing that the Sasquatch has picked up his scent and his making a move towards him, retreated in the upper levels of the pyramid of fire, leaving the dying Pissant and the running Luchabold to their fates.
The minotaur however, has realized that in his fury, the mistake he has committed will cost him the ultimate price: his life. The lava he spilled accidentally is burning his fur, melting his flesh and muscles and is more than what he expected. What a minotard.
