[Chaos] Chaos in the Old World - Game 2 - Slaanesh Victory

Mr_Rose

Oh I do so love deals! You are a god of honour as well, I see, brother Khorne. Perhaps we will treat, in time...but not in this moment.

Acolyte from The Border Princes to Estalia, taking the last Warpstone with it.

2/6 PP remain.

Rius

There's too much confusion in Tilea and Bretonnia, and I don't see any relief. No reason to get excited... Let's see about finding greener pastures.

Khorne, you silly thing. You have nothing to fear from me. It is Tzeentch I would be worried about; to me it appears as if he is in control. See how he warps the land at will with his acolytes; if I were you, I would not allow the one in Norsca to survive the day.

MOVE a Cultist from Tilea to Border Princes.

Slaanesh @ 3/6 PP Remaining.

Darian

Round Three Summoning phase:

The Peasant Uprising continues; each peasant token increases the resistance of its region by one.

Khorne prepares a Field of Carnage in Bretonnia (other figures may not be summoned away)
Nurgle sends a leper wandering from the Empire to Bretonnia
Tzeentch calls for the Persistence of Change in Bretonnia ((M), stays in play if Tzeentch kills a figure)
Slaanesh ignores the others and rewards the Degenerate Royalty of the Empire (no effect)

Khorne sends a cultist into Norsca
Nurgle reinforces his position in Bretonnia with another cultist
Tzeentch redeploys a cultist from Norsca to Tilea, bringing a Warpstone with him
Slaanesh sends another cultist into the Empire

Khorne decides plans are better served by moving his warrior from the Empire to Bretonnia
Nurgle oozes a cultist into Tilea
Tzeentch continues to redraw the map, sending a cultist with a Warpstone from the Border Princes to Tilea
Slaanesh decides the time is ripe to whisper in a peasant's ear; a Dark Influence sends the peasant scurrying to Bretonnia (instant effect)

Khorne (2/7) screams out a Battle Cry, echoing over Tilea (no corruption placed this round)
Nurgle (2/6) brings another cultist into Bretonnia
Tzeentch (2/6) slips a cultist from The Border Princes to Estalia, lugging a Warpstone
Slaanesh (3/6) sends a cultist from Tilea into the Border Princes

Celebrim

That acolyte is probably heading to Estalia, I'll just save myself the trip up north.

Summon Bloodsworn (cultist) to Estalia.

Khorne - 1/7 PP remaining

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Rius

He has another cultist to summon out of his stock figures, I would not be surprised if he intends to leave the cutlist in Norsca to serve as a summoning anchor for later.

Kias

As the hope of victory fades from my eyes, the potential to spread the rot far and wide soothes my souls.

Cultist to Estalia

1/6 PP remain

Mr_Rose

Whee! It is so much fun to see you all plotting amongst each other!

Acolyte Smith in Tilea shall mysteriously vanish with half the kingdom's supply of precious green gems whilst Acolyte Jones will appear in Estalia, bearing gifts of mystical rocks that cause endless change.

1/6 PP remain

PARANOIA FOR THE PARANOIA GOD!

Rius

Slaanesh's seductresses continue their world tour, leaving the petty squabbling Border Princes for some truly cheap real estate in The Badlands.

MOVE cultist from Border Princes to The Badlands.

Slaanesh @ 2/6 PP remaining.

Celebrim

Why do you run? A real man-woman-thing would stand and fight.

MOVE cultist from Troll Country to The Badlands.

Khorne - 0/7 PP remaining

Since Tilea no longer serves my purposes, I suppose I will move my cultist from Tilea to Estalia. Let's see how my putrescent plans play out.

0/6 pp remain

Mr_Rose

It's all about the odds, one way or the other;

Move the last Acolyte from Norsca to Estalia

0/6 pp left.

Rius

I have chosen my fate, my brothers. Let us see where the winds of chance take us; for now, I shall continue to corrupt the not-so-Badlands.

(M) Dark Influence - 1 - When you play this card, move a Peasant, Hero, or Noble token from this region to any other region. Played in Kislev; move Noble to Badlands. 1/6 PP Remaining.

Summon Cultist in Badlands. 0/6 PP Remaining.

Rius

That Battle Cry in Tilea was an excellent play, I should say. You can tell it really screwed all three other gods' plans, heh.

Kias

Swing and a miss for Nurgle with a 3

Celebrim

Norsca - 1 hit - Norsca is no place for civilians

Mr_Rose

Bretonnia - 1 hit - the bloodletter on the left please.

Celebrim

Estalia - 0 Hits

The Border Princes - 1 hit - Another peasant becomes a whetstone.

The Badlands - 0 hits - The bloodsworn appear to be....distracted. Their punishment will be swift.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Darian

Persistence of Change will remain in Bretonnia for next round

5. Bretonnia - No domination (2 = 2 < 3 < 5)
Nurgle places 2 corruption - DIAL
Tzeentch places 1 corruption

Darian

Map at the start of the End Phase:



1. Hero Tokens are resolved - Slaanesh chooses one figure to sacrifice in the Empire
Note: I will assume he is sacrificing a seductress unless he tells me otherwise.

2. Resolve Old World cards - No end phase effects

3. Score Ruined Regions - No regions were Ruined

4. Advance Threat Dials - There was a tie for most tokens; each old god gains one DIAL tick
Khorne: 14 - Draw 2 Cards
Nurgle: 13 - Upgrade
Tzeentch: 15 - Score 3 VP
Slaanesh: 16 - Place 2 Nobles

5. Check for Game end
Dial - nope
VP - nope
Ruined - nope
Old World - nope
The game did not end.

Tzeentch may discard a card; I will put the upcoming Old World card into your player sheet so you may make an informed decision

Nurgle needs to choose an Upgrade

Slaanesh needs to choose location(s) for two new noble tokens; you should also confirm the Hero's target in the Empire

Once all of this is done, I'll clear the board for the next round (Persistance of Magic stays in play) and update your player sheets with new draws.

Mr_Rose

Discard The Persistence of Change from hand. I think I will keep the one in Bretonnia though.

Darian

Thanks; I was forgetting that keeping the other in play was optional.

Darian

Note: I just realized I accidentally increased Slaanesh's Threat instead of its VP on my end phase board. That error has been fixed for the next board: Slaanesh has 17 VP, not 9, and it's threat was 11 (but is now 16 after ticking).

End of round 3, still awaiting an upgrade and placement of 2 Noble tokens


Reposted from previous page:
[strike]Nurgle needs to choose an Upgrade[/strike]

Slaanesh needs to choose location(s) for two new noble tokens; you should also confirm the Hero's target in the Empire (I haven't yet removed a figure)

Once all of this is done, I'll clear the board for the next round (Persistence of Magic stays in play) and update your player sheets with new draws. Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeentch are already updated.

Kias

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I will unleash my plague unto my followers

Cultists are now Lepers, making them cost 0 if placed in a region where Nurgle has no other figures. A given Leper figure may only be summoned for free once per round.

Rius

An interesting turn of events.

Yes, one Seductress in the Empire will offer up her life to the Hero to slake his bloodlust.

I'd like to see new Nobles in the Border Princes and in Kislev; one each, of course.

Rius

I suppose I'll find out soon enough, but still I ask; does Peasant Uprising go away at the end of this round?

Darian

There are two slots on the board for Old World cards with lingering effects. The first of those has been filled with Peasant Uprising for a while, now, but it is about to be slid into the second slot to make room for our new card. Which... also deals with peasants. Board update in a few.

Rius

Ahh, so it's not that cards last two turns by nature; they usually last two turns because they're rotated out for new ones, unless the new ones are instant-and-discard style.

Darian

A horn is heard blowing in the North, and the drums of war. Reavers. The news spreads like wildfire throughout the Old World, and peasants in every realm abandon their homes seeking safety.

Norse Reavers
Remove all Event tokens from the board and remove any Old World cards bearing the Twin-tailed Comet icon from the Old World track. Then, place one Event token in each of Bretonnia, Tilea, and the Empire. Finally, place one Peasant token in each region.
In the end phase, when Old World cards are resolved, remove one Peasant token (if able) from every region where there is an Event token.

The Peasant Uprising continues; each peasant token increases the resistance of its region by one.



The round four summoning phase begins, as always, with Khorne.

Note: All 20 peasant tokens have now been used; no more peasants can be placed this game.

Exactly; you can tell the active ones because they are bold in the list. Discarded cards are gray.

Celebrim

The remaining cultists in Bretonnia will wish for the quick deaths of last turn's fallen.
