Long Story[]
Well, it's a Battle episode. You know what that means! That's right, it's a really short description, followed by a bloated Rolls section where each action is painstakingly described! And I mean painstakingly...
Skud Derringer walks out onto the pitch of the arena. The crowd, enthusiastic. The terrain, rocky, with chunks of metal and stone popping up everywhere. There are pools of magma and geysers of steam. The whole arena is round, the 150-ft diameter standard of Bone Card Tournaments. And, there's a center platform where the magic happens. Sometimes, literally. And on the opposite end of Skud, emerges Lucious Incendous. And the battle begins...
Skud begins by sending out the Astral Dreadnought and Lahni. The latter immediately goes to hide behind the former. Incendous sends out Pandora Thorne (who vanishes, like Lahni) and Sharpe Lestat, who begins to attack the Astral Dreadnought. To deal with this absolute gall, Skud sends Infernal Rick out to cast a Slowing Ray on Sharpe, so he's slow now lol. Lahni, in true Lahni fashion, does a ton of damage to Sharpe. She punches many times, and on the final punch, she's nice enough to know the handaxe back into his belt. Not away, so that he can't use it, but back to his belt. Good looking out, Lahni.
The Astral Dreadnought manages to kill Sharpe Lestat by biting him to death, then turns on the invisible Pandora Thorne. With only 1 Battler on the field, Incendous sends out 2 more, Wordsworth Zics and Ysla Caine, who immediately kills the Astral Dreadnought with a Fireball! And so, Skud decides to pull out the big guns. He sends out Pyre. Pyre breaths fyre on the two newbies, killing Caine, and wounding Zics. Rick the Beholder does another Slowing Ray on Wordsworth Zics, whom Lahni then kills during the zenith of her epic theme song.
Skud has lost 1 Battler, while Incendous has lost 3. Enraged, he sends out his last two Battlers, Duclaw Honeypaw and Killian Dred.
And then he throws 2 javelins at Skud!
Short[]
The Final Bone Card Battle! The Astral Dreadnought kills Sharpe Lestat, Ysla Caine kills The Astral Dreadnought, Pyre kills Ysla Caine, and Lahni kills Wordsworth Zics. And then Lucious Incendous throws 2 javelins at Skud!
Trivia[]
- Nika suggests a "Phone a Friend" feature, in which, at any situation, they can just reach out a dark and mysterious Wiki writer named MisterRed. I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but I, the dark and mysterious Wiki writer, MisterRed, am down with this
- Toby changes his Bone Card "type" from Enchantment to Evocation
- Sharpe Lestat is wearing a helmet now, one of those old-timey Roman looking ones
