Kias

Hmmm, Tzeentch has got me too scared to try anything tricky, so last Leper to the Empire, and let victory fall where it will.

Darian

Tzeentch until he's done, then we'll start sorting this mess out.

Mr_Rose

Well then, the best I can really do is...
Teleport - 1 - When you play this card, move any Cultist or Warrior from this region to any other region. Move the Bloodletter in Kislev to The Empire.

1/7 PP remain

And finally, move my last Acolyte in Tilea to Estalia

0/7 PP remain

Darian

Estalia? but... why?

Edit: nevermind; I see why.

Rius

Wait, can you even summon figures to ruined regions?

Mr_Rose

Tzeentch knows. And it is enough that you know that Tzeentch knows.

Darian

Yes... the only thing you can't do there is place corruption or play Chaos cards.

quick edit: Otherwise, once the Empire is ruined, you'd be hosed if you needed to get to the other side of the map.

Darian

The time for battle is upon us! So we need a declaration from Slaanesh: which figure are you taking over?

Rius

Even if he summons it to The Badlands, I think I still win. I am confused.

Can six battle dice kill three 2 defense cultists in The Empire? Probably.

Can two out of three cultists be eliminated in the Border Princes by the up to sixteen battle dice that will fly there? Almost absolutely.

Badlands will go to 8 Slaanesh corruption and 4 Tzeentch corruption. We're tied at 35 and I'll score 13, Tzeentch will score 11 including corruption. That's why he has 4 acolytes there, to beat my 3 for domination, or else I'd win.

If the combats go even average-ly well, then we're not done here yet and Tzeentch and I will need 4 points and 2 points respectively.

I'll guess he moved a Cultist to Tilea to be able to move the Warpstone out next round.

Rius

I'll be taking over Khorne's cultist, for sure.

Darian

Because MrB made such a cute thing for that effect (and I forgot to use it last time), you get another map update. Whee!

Rius

Hehe, he really did think of everything =)

Darian

Battle dice:

1. Norsca
2. Troll Country
3. Kislev
4. The Empire - 6 dice (Nurgle +1 defense, Slaanesh cultists are 0/2 from upgrade)
5. Bretonnia - 2 dice
6. Estalia
7. Tilea
8. The Border Princes - 4 dice, 3 dice; second battle after the first resolves
9. The Badlands

Khorne is up first, though Tzeentch can roll when ready. Slaanesh should wait for Khorne to roll in the Border Princes.

Mr_Rose

Er, sorry guys, I think I accidentally ganked one of the good rolls:
Bretonnia battle dice: 2d6e6h4 3
Splatter me a Peasant, plox.

Rius

You might have had more hits than 3; Orokos didn't explode the second six. If I'm reading that correctly that is.

Rius

I said something wrong a little while ago; I don't expect six battle dice in The Empire to land the six hits necessary to prevent the region from being ruined. I guess if he lands 4 hits and kills both of my cultists and ignore's nurgle's five, I'll be very very sad.

Mr_Rose

That's what I figured also, but there doesn't seem much point to rolling again given that the only target (a peasant) is now explosively dead.

Delmain

Use d6o6h4.

o is for Open, it rolls them over and over until you get a not-6. e6 just rerolls 6s once, even if another 6 comes up.

Well, I did forgot to make a symbol for the free-moving Nurgle cultists. (But I've updated the template for that now.)

Rius

Border Princes is unlikely to be ruined (Can I kill Khorne's cultist with a hit if I control it?), Badlands is guaranteed to be ruined. Considering that, here's how The Empire plays out;

If Khorne doesn't kill anything, I win.
If Khorne leaves one of my cultists alive, I win.
If Khorne kills both of my cultists, Nurgle wins.
If Khorne kills one or two of Nurgle's cultists, I win.
If Khorne kills three cultists, the region isn't ruined and we're going to the next round.

Ergo, Khorne could possibly be a huge jerk and ruin my victory for me =)

I thought the upside down cultist worked alright for that, but if you could send me the new version for next game (starting soon, it seems), that would be great.

Celebrim

The Empire - 5 hits - So I'm kingmaker? Let chaos decide - 1 Leper, 1 Seductress.

The Border Princes - 3 Hits - Dead Seductress, Dead Peasant

edit: Rolled round 2 not that it matters, - 2 hits - Kill my own cultist.

GOOD GAME FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Rius

The Greater Daemons in The Empire fight to the last, but neither is able to overwhelm the other, even with the help of Khorne's turncoat.

Border Princes - One Hit: Kill the Leper

Border Princes - Two Hits: I'll kill Khorne's cultist if he cannot, the other hit is wasted.

Darian

He can kill his own cultist while it is controlled by you; I don't think that you could kill it yourself at that point. Update soonish.

Rius

The control mechanic is odd. Do I roll it's attack die during Khorne's turn or during my own? I suppose it's a moot point for cultists, but if I'm controlling a Khorne warrior with the upgrade, then the timing is important, heh

Darian

Battle results:

1. Norsca
2. Troll Country
3. Kislev
4. The Empire - 5 hits (1 leper, 1 seductress)
5. Bretonnia - 3+ hits (peasant)
6. Estalia
7. Tilea
8. The Border Princes - 3 hits (seductress, peasant) , 1 hit (leper); 2 hits (bloodsworn); 2 hits (no legal target)
9. The Badlands

Khorne: 2 DIAL tokens

It's as your action; however, if it were an upgraded Khorne Warrior, you'd get an "early hits" round in that region right after Khorne rolled for his other warriors (or Blood Frenzy).

Darian

Corruption Phase:

1. Norsca - nothing
2. Troll Country - nothing
3. Kislev - nothing
4. The Empire - no domination (5 = 5 = 5)
Nurgle places 4 corruption DIAL
Slaanesh places 1 corruption

5. Bretonnia - ruined
6. Estalia - ruined
7. Tilea - ruined
8. The Border Princes - Khorne dominates for 2 VP (3 > 2)
No corruption

9. The Badlands - Tzeentch dominates for 2 VP (4 > 3 > 2)
Tzeentch places 4 corruption DIAL
Slaanesh places 3 corruption DIAL

Ruination step:
The Empire is the fourth region ruined (7 + 5)
Nurgle scores 5 points
Slaanesh scores 5 points

The Badlands are the fifth region ruined (1 + 4 + 8 + 2)
Tzeentch scores 5 points
Slaanesh scores 5 points

Total points after the Corruption phase:
Khorne: 26 + 2 = 28
Nurgle: 36 + 5 = 41
Tzeentch: 35 + 7 = 42
Slaanesh: 35 + 10 = 45
