[Wiz-War Tournament] Game 1 - This war is over (Moleface wins!)

ObiFett

Gnome artadius runs over to the portal. "That werewolf couldn't have gotten far", he thinks to himself. He sticks his head through the portal and catches a glimpse of the Werewolf moleface running around a corner. Gnome artadius throws a fireball and summons the strength of Angelina Jolie to curve it around the corner.

Weirdly, he didn't hear a howl or a any kind of fire explosion...

Gnome artadius throws a fireball and summons the strength of Angelina Jolie to curve it around the corner

Dammit I had liquid in my mouth, you bastard. :lol:

GoodOmens

So he's now a werewolf with a fireball. Great. Just great.

Darian

Well, once he tries to use the fireball he'll no longer be a werewolf. So there's that, at least.

Bedlam

Unless he turns into a wolf that breathes fireballs and everytime he barks he shoots fireballs at you.

Then heaven help us all.

moleface

A magic absorbing, fireball breathing werewolf isn't that threatening, is it?

artadius

Oh, I got more for you, wolf. This gnome's a packin. You'll run out of counters eventually. Just remember, you threw the first stone.

ObiFett

Werewolf moleface runs through the portal that fireball came barreling out, intent on showing that gnome who's boss. As Werewolf moleface exits the portal, however, he unexpectedly trips on the gnome that hasn't moved since the last attack. The surprise causes Werewolf moleface to lose control of his transformation and he reverts back to a human. Unclothed and really angry, Naked moleface summons a giant Mallet ( :winky: ) and swings it at the Gnome artadius. Not used to his inferior strength yet, the swing goes wide and the gnome hops out of the way. "Damn ELUSIVE GREEN MIDGET!", Naked moleface yells at his foe.

actual orders:

Spoiler:

Move to B7
Drop werewolf form
Play whack-a-gnome by casting Ka-Bong! on ELUSIVE GREEN MIDGET

ObiFett

Darian decides his concentration could be better used elsewhere and lets the Booby Trap spell dissolve. He hears someone screaming about a gnome and instantly gets angry. "I hate gnomes!" Darian yells as he sends a Dispel towards the transformed gnome. He has a feeling that it didn't work.

I missed a counter- spell order in this game. artadius is still a gnome, he had negate neutral queued up and I missed it. I'll get it changed in the morning.

GoodOmens

Orders in. You thought yours were boring, Darian?

Darian

Seems yours are so boring that the host couldn't bear to resolve them for us.

ObiFett

Yup, they were so boring I feel asleep while reading them

Spoiler:

I'm getting to them, sheesh.

ObiFett

GoodOmens goes looking for more trouble and tries to think of his best spells learned from the academy, forgetting to keep up his wall spell in the process

Gnome artadius absolutely loves being a gnome, his wang finally looks proportional to the rest of his body...

ObiFett

Gnome artadius drops the gnome form hoping that everything stays proportional. Even though he isnt a gnome, he decides he can still be mischevious and rotates the green sector. "Hopefully that annoyed someone" he thinks as he boosts his way into an empty zone.

Naked moleface is happy that gnome is finally gone

GoodOmens

Just to confirm...is there something on the edge between B6 and C6, or is it just because of the board graphics?

ObiFett

That's just the board graphics. It's the gold on the ground spilling out of the treasure.

ObiFett

Naked moleface eats a nearby wall to regain strength then lets lose his master plan. He drops off the treasure he is holding, barely paying attention to the booming voice saying "YELLOW HAS BEEN AWARDED A VICTORY POINT!!" as he simultaneously mental forcepushes blue away and rides the wind (in an enclosed maze) through his door and all the way to steal the red treasure on Blue's glyph.

The booming voice echoes throughout the maze again, "BLUE HAS HAD A VICTORY POINT TAKEN AWAY!!!"

actual orders:

Spoiler:

Wallivore on B7:C7 for noms and gain 2 life

Wallivore | Neutral | Adjacent | Instant | Eat 1 stone wall. The devoured wall is destroyed and then you gain 2 life.

Mental Force | Attack | Any | Instant | Force target wizard to move up to a number of squares equal to this spell's energy plus 3. The target moves as normal, per your direction

Cast Windrider to move to H7

Windrider | Neutral | Self | Instant | Move in a straight line (not diagonally) as far as you like, ignoring any objects (except walls, doors and stone blocks) while moving. You suffer the effects of any objects in the square where you end this move. Moving this way costs 0 movement points

!

Could really use one of those windriders my way.

artadius

I cannot help in stopping Yellow on my next turn so Blue and Red are going to have to deal with him. All he needs is a way to boost to five movement to win.

ObiFett

Yeah, that was a crazy turn. Well done, moleface

GoodOmens

Well, that sucked. Moleface is gonna face consequences and repercussions.

moleface

Those are the best kinds of sequences and percussions. Let' see what you got

Moleface is gonna get got! He's going one-on-one with THA UNDATAKAH! I'm about to go medieval on his ass!

Or, hopefully, someone with an actual useful attack will do that.

Not worried, it's all about the game and how you play it

Darian

Orders in; doing what I can.

ObiFett

Darian knows he has to do something to stop yellow from getting that treasure back to yellow's glyph. With blue suddenly in front of him and probably thinking the same thing, Darian boosts in the opposite direction through a portal looking for a way to flank and it puts him face to face with the yellow glyph and the yellow door in the distance.

"Perfect", Darian says to himself. He astrally projects himself giving him just enough time to lay down a stone block right in front of the yellow door.

actual orders:

Spoiler:

Discard Pick Lock to boost movement by 3
Move through the portal at J2 to B7
Use Astral Projection to play a spell as if I were at E7

Astral Projection | Neutral | Any | Instant | Choose 1 empty square within 3 squares of you (ignoring walls and other objects, but not counting diagonally) and cast 1 target spell as though you were in that square

Create a Stone Block at E7

Stone Block | Neutral | LOS | Permanent | Creation : Create a solid stone block in 1 empty square. The stone block completely fills the square, blocking LOS and movement through the square. This block takes 8 cracks to destroy and is not a wall.

Draw 2 cards

Orders in, and I get to be Professor X and the Juggernaut in a single turn.

ObiFett

GoodOmens puts his fingers to his temple and forces yellow to move past him. Then he turns himself into a Big Man to prevent yellow from getting by.

I'm the Ogre, bitch!"

actual orders:

Spoiler:

Move Up, Up, Right to F6.
Put on Cerebro, put my fingers against my temples.
Cast Mental Force on Yellow.

Shrinkaged artadius wonders if he should pile on the naked, previously robed in yellow, wizard just to be sure that guy can't get his second victory point.

Bedlam

Wondering why they call it Big Man instead of Giant or Troll or any other very large humanoid creature.

ObiFett

Same here. Its a very weird thing to call that transformation.

Its got to have something to do with the original game's card names.

ObiFett

Shrinkaged artadius takes a peek into the mind of the wizard that must be in the lead. He likes what he sees in moleface's mind, so he steals some of the ideas and leave a hole in his wake. Full of good ideas now, shrinkaged artadius, boosts off to the nearest treasure and picks it up.

The booming voice returns "RED has lost a VICTORY POINT!!"

actual orders:

Spoiler:

cast Thought Steal to look at Yellow's hand

Thought Steal | Attack | Any | Instant | Look at target wizard's hand of cards. Take up to 2 cards of your choice from the target's hand and then discard back down to your maximum hand size. Maintained spells and carried items cannot be affected by this spell.

Sorry that took a while. There was the Thought Steal card to process and some hiccups I was waiting for clarification on.

"I just saved the game for the rest of us. Now we're back to a better status quo."

ObiFett

That really was a very good turn.

artadius

Just realized I could have taken two cards.
