END OF ROUND 6

Here is the end of Round 6 of Battle Royale. The contestants are lined up and here it begins...

Initiative 15

TBFProgrammer seems to have negotiated with usourselves&we. He Blesses the Mime, giving them +5 attack bonus.

Initiative 13

Castaras wants to hit on a living creature once. She chooses to attack Tasroth and tries to stab him with her greataxe. She causes 1d20=16HP damage. The Swordsman is a bit bloodied.

Reinholdt sees the hurt swordsman and there is only one thought in his brain. HEAL! Unfortunately he hasn't got the correct spell so a second though appears. KILL! He smashes his morningstar at the Swordsman and kills him with that blow. 1d20=15.

Initiative 11

billtodamax uses his abilitiy "Last Strike" to see what happens in this round.

Initiative 10

The Grimmace is the 6th round inactive. The inactivity Demon has a mighty blow now, but The Grimmace is in luck. 1d20=4.

Gray Mage dispels all special action in his vicinity.

Initiative 5

The Phantom counterattacks every attack against him.

Initiative 3

Tasroth is dead.

Initiative 2

usourselve&we, blessed Mime, attacks the Ninja. How they know where he is, nobody knows. But nevertheless, they cause 1d20+5=20, killing the Ninja.

These are the results of this round:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	35	Can't heal till round 8	15
Castaras	Barbarian	19	Can't rage till round 7	13
Reinholdt	Cleric	30	Cannot Bless till round 8, can't heal till round 8	13
billtodamax	Ninja	-3	dead	11
The Grimmace	Psychic	1	Inactive 5	10
Gray Mage	Wizard	27	Can't use Barrier till round 7n can't use Dispel till round 9	10
The Phantom	Swordsman	18	Can't use Counterattack till round 9	5
Tasroth	Swordsman	-6	dead	3
usourselves&we	Mime	14	can't Mimic till round 8	2

So, this wasn't really an exiting round but still, two deaths, the ranks are thinning.

Round 7 follows in the next post.

[Zar Peter]

The Begin of Round 7

Here is the Initiative:
1d20=14, 1d20=13, 1d20=16, 1d20=19, 1d20=18, 1d20=10, 1d20=12

And this is the Table:

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 7

And here is the end of this round. Let's see who's turn it is today.

Initiative 19

The inactivity Demon finally finishes The Grimmace with 1d22=9 points.

Initiative 18

Gray Mage casts a Barrier.

Initiative 16

Reinholdt attacks usourselves&we. The mime loses 1d20=10 points.

Initiative 14

The Inactivity Demon discovers TBFProgrammer doing nothing. The cleric loses the full 1d10=10 points.

Initiative 13

Castaras attacks usourselves&we and falls into a rage. 1d20=6 points damage are not much but all that she needs to kill the mime.

Initiative 12

usourselves&we is dead.

Initiative 10

The Phantom attacks the dead body of usourselves&we, causing 1d20=8 damage. usourselves&we is still dead.

[Zar Peter]

The Beginning of Round 8

Alright, 5 people left. The end game begins. Kinda...

Here is the Initiative, the dice seems to favour clerics:

1d20=3, 1d20=14, 1d20=15, 1d20=10, 1d20=3

And the table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11, Inactive 1	15
Reinholdt	Cleric	30		14
Castaras	Barbarian	19	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	10

The Phantom	Swordsman	18	Can't use Counterattack till round 9	3

Nearly forgot: Please send in your actions till Saturday, 13th October.

[usourselves&we]

Bu- but the cleric-y peoples enemy was Mage and Phantom, why attack a poor defenseless mime that was fine with dying after all the others were gone?

meh, at least we lived longer than we did in ready aim fire. or what ever that game was called.

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 8

Seventh Round of Battle Royale... all alliances seem to be settled. Just to make one thing clear: There is no thing as a draw, except if all die in the end, then nobody has won. But if the last two decide not to attack then the Inactivity Demon will decide the game. The open public demands BLOOD!

Inititative 15

TBFProgrammer wakes up from his little sleep and decides to attack The Phantom. 1d20=6 points.

Initiative 14:

Reinholdt seems to have the same idea and takes 1d20=11 points away from the Swordsman.

Initiative 10:

Castaras thinks that when all the cool people are doing it, then she can't stay away. Attacking The Phantom. 1d20=12points are enough to kill the Swordsman who had only 1 point left before this attack.

Inititative 3:

Gray Mage seems to be a bit confused about the sudden violence against his neighbour and stands around unmovingly. The next victim of the Inactivity Demon who takes away 1d10=9points.

And The Phantom is dead.

This is the table after 7 rounds:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative	Action
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11, Inactive 1	15	Attack The Phantom
Reinholdt	Cleric	30		14	Attack The Phantom
Castaras	Barbarian	19	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	10	Attack The Phantom
Gray Mage	Wizard	18	can't use Dispel till round 9, can't use Barrier till round 10	3
The Phantom	Swordsman	-11	dead	3	Swordmanship on Reinholdt

Initiative and table for Round 9 in the next post

[Zar Peter]

The Beginning of Round 9

So, this is Round 9. Only 4 Players left but all are looking pretty healthy, especially the Clerics.

And this is the Initiative: 1d20=6, 1d20=8, 1d20=3, 1d20=17

which leads us to this table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
Gray Mage	Wizard	18	can't use Barrier till round 10	17
Reinholdt	Cleric	30		8
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11	6
Castaras	Barbarian	19	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	3

You have time till Tuesday, 20:00 GMT+2

[Zar Peter]

About 12 hours till dead line and only 50% actions received!

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 9

So sorry for the delay, this week surprises me every day...

Initiative 17

Gray Mage casts Dispel. Hopefully someone attacks him with an special feature.

Initiative 8

Reinholdt heals Castaras. 1d10=8 points added.

Initiative 6

TBFProgrammer attacks Gray Mage. Normally. 1d20=6 points damage.

Initiative 3

Castaras stabs Gray Mage. Normally. 1d20=2points damage.

And the table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative	Action
Gray Mage	Wizard	10	can't use Barrier till round 10, can't cast Dispel till round 12	17	Cast Dispel
Reinholdt	Cleric	30	Can't Heal till round 12	8	Heal Castaras
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11	6	Attack Gray Mage
Castaras	Barbarian	27	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	3	Stab Gray Mage

Fun fact:

The brutto damage this round was 0. 8 points healed, 8 points damaged. It wasn't evenly distributed, tough.

[Zar Peter]

The beginning of Round 10

Here is the initiative roll: 1d20=5, 1d20=19, 1d20=2, 1d20=11

And this is the table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
Reinholdt	Cleric	30	Can't Heal till round 12	19
Castaras	Barbarian	27	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	11
Gray Mage	Wizard	10	can't cast Dispel till round 12	5
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11	2

Please PM me your actions unitl Friday, 19.10.2012, 20:00 GMT+2

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 10

Only 4 people left in our little game. The end is near.

Initiative 19

Reinholdt continues to attack Gray Mage. This time 1d20=16 points are enough to kill him.

Initiative 11

But not enough for Castaras who once again mutilates a corpse. She adds 1d20=9 points and now I really have to look how much damage she did on dead people.

Initiative 2

TBFProgrammer finally decides that 2 clerics are at least one too many. He stabs Reinholdt in the back, dealing 1d20=8 points.


This is the new table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative	Action
Reinholdt	Cleric	22	Can't Heal till round 12	19	Attack Gray Mage
Castaras	Barbarian	27	RAGE till round 10 Can't Rage till round 12	11	Stab Gray Mage
Gray Mage	Wizard	-15	dead	5	Attack Castaras
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25	can't bless till round 11	2	Attack Reinholdt

Only three people left and all nearly the same Hitpoints. This will be close.

[Zar Peter]

The Beginning of Round 11

This is the Initiative Roll:

1d20=1, 1d20=4, 1d20=6

And the table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	25		6
Castaras	Barbarian	27	Can't Rage till round 12	4
Reinholdt	Cleric	22	Can't Heal till round 12	1

Please send me your action till Sunday, 21.10.12, 20:00 GMT +2

[Zar Peter]

And the statistics:

Round 3: Cassie stabs the dead Superdark for 24 points.

Round 4: Cassie kills Count Dingdong.

Round 5: She overkills Vesth. 13 points for the dead body.

Round 7: Our barbarian makes the killing blow against usourselves&we

Round 8: The last and mortal strike against The Phantom.

Round 10: Castaras mutilates Gray Mages body with 9 points.

Conclusio: She killed 3 people and stabbed 46 points out of dead bodies.

And our Barbarian Castaras leads the table of the most violent Battlers. Ex Aequo with billtodamax who also killed 3 people.

Two people killed Tasroth, usourselves&we and Reinholdt.

The last of the three surviving players, TBFProgrammer, didn't kill anyone till now.

[Castaras]

DAMNIT.

[Reinholdt]

I'm in ur battles stealing ur killz.

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 11

This is the end of the 11th round of our little game. Because of the actions in this round and the few players left I forgo the initiative and describe the ongoings without it. Just remember, TBFProgrammer goes first, then Castaras, then Reinholdt.


Reinholdt and TBF are standing on the stairs of the parlament, discussing. Finally they shake hands, TBF says "Ok, then we have a deal!". Reinholdt slowly nods his head and gets on his knees. TBFProgrammer raises his hand and speaks some holy words, ends them with "And so thou are blessed, noble Reinholdt, stand up with more strength as thou had before". Reinholdt stands up, cleans his robe and, with a smile on his face announces: "Thank you. And now..." Suddenly Castaras, the Barbarian rises behind TBF, raising her club and smashing it down at the cleric. The surprised man takes the full blow and 1d20=17 points damage. He turns to Reinholdt, screaming: Now friend! Our deal!". Reinholdt smiles, takes a dagger out of his robe and says:"Sorry, my friend. But thank you for the blessing." With this he rammes the dagger in the chest of the cleric, causing 1d20+5=15 points damage and kills TBFProgrammer.

The table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative	Action
TBFProgrammer	Cleric	-7	dead	6	Bless Reinholdt
Castaras	Barbarian	27		4	Attack TBFProgrammer
Reinholdt	Cleric	22	blessed till round 13	1	Attack TBFProgrammer

Next round (here to save space):

The roll: 1d20=9, 1d20=2

The table:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
Castaras	Barbarian	27		9
Reinholdt	Cleric	22	blessed till round 13	2

So, with this deceiving strike there are only two opponents left. Who will win? Or do you want both to win? You can vote here in thread what you like best, but beware, if any of the two decide to attack the other no vote will help them! If they are still till the end of the round on Tuesday AND you vote that both can win then it shall be so.

If the vote is no then either the Inactivity Demon will nibble on them until one is dead OR they begin to fight each other again.

SO people of Rome: Thumb UP or Thumb down, it's your decision.

[Reinholdt]

Huh. Odd choice by TBF there.

*wonders if the audience will care enough to vote on a potential tie*

[Zar Peter]

If there is a no vote I fear the narrator will have to decide.

[Castaras]

I got a message from TBF after you told me your action, Rein, threatening to bless you unless I gave him a good deal.

May the best crazy person win?

[TBFProgrammer]

Really, it can't be considered being stabbed in the back when you knew it was coming since halfway through the game.

Anyways, blessing Reinholdt and giving Castaras a chance to change my mind either gave Castaras a reason to side with me instead or leveled the playing-field enough to make things interesting to watch.

[Matthias2207]

Down
Only one will prevail!

[Count Dingdong]

One must go down! This bloodbath can't end in peace!

[Reinholdt]

Phsaw! I'd have to be crazy to accept such an offer!

[TBFProgrammer]

Neither of you can kill the other this round, but it is unlikely (though not by much) that you will both survive the next.

Castaras, taking average damage: 27-15=12-15=-3
Reinholdt, taking average damage, assumes rage: 22-10=12-12=0

So, as you can see, you are actually in an ever so slightly better position (unless I messed up how rage works).



EDIT: It should be noted that the initiative role for next round is about as crucial as actual damage roles at this point.

[Rules Lawyer #1]

Personally, I'm cheering for Castaras of the Stompy Barbarians!
Crazy to see TBF the cleric betrayed again!
But good job to see the Guild of Cowardly Clerics survive to this point.
I'm a little bit bothered that the highest rank member of Those Who Will Surely Die is the The Grimmace who gained his status via the Inactivity Demon

You could exclude him because of Inactivity

End of Round 12

As one after the other thumb is turning down Castaras is taking the advantage of the first strike and stabs Reinholdt. And surprisingly she stabs really good with her great axe, cutting 1d20=13 points out of the cleric. Reinholdt himself, still blessed from the dead TBFProgrammer, hacks back with his dagger, causing 1d20+5=20 points damage.

The table after this round:

Name	Class	HP	state
Castaras	Barbarian	7
Reinholdt	Cleric	9	blessed till round 13

The audience cheers and applauds for the two contestants and if the dice isn't very kind the next round should be the last.

The Beginning of Round 13

Here's the initiative roll:

1d20=4, 1d20=12

And the table for the next round:

Name	Class	HP	state	Initiative
Reinholdt	Cleric	9	blessed till round 13	12
Castaras	Barbarian	7		4

I will update when I have all the actions OR after two days... I think I can guess the actions but there is still the chance of Inactivity slumbering out there.

[Zar Peter]

And about sensless statistics, because of TBFProgrammers calculations I looked at the average hitpoints/player in all rounds. This is the table:

Round	Player	Average Damage
1	19	20,26
2	16	4,00
3	16	6,38
4	14	5,64
5	11	4,36
6	9	6,11
7	7	6,14
8	5	7,60
9	4	0,00
10	4	8,25
11	3	10,67
12	2	16,50

The first round is outstanding because in this round every player, statisitcally, caused more damage than one player alone can cause in a normal strike. The reason for this are the fireballs AND the counterstrikes in this round of course.

And in Round 9 all damage dealt was repealed by one healing.

[Zar Peter]

END OF ROUND 13

Is this the end of Battle Royale #7? It's very tense, the suspension is nearly unbearable. In this round Reinholdt has the first dash and he is blessed. Let's see what the dice roller is doing...

Reinholdt attacks Castaras with 1d20+5=18 points. That's a kill! Poor Cassie can't strike back since she's dead, unfortunately.


And that's Reinholdt's price:



Thank you all for playing, I hope you had fun.

I'll try to make a new iteration of this game in two or three weeks so keep tuned. If you want to get a PM when the next sign up start you can post so here.

I think Reinholdt and chunkymonkey999 already expressed interest.
