Turn 3
Pirates
Scribonius
A pirate shoots the skull off a skeleton...
...and his mate kicks the bones into the courtyard below.
Captain Fawkes climbs to the top of the tower, and engages Sir Ector Plasm!
"Yarr! We be taking that treasure, me ghostly hearties!"
Neither hero injures the other, but Fawkes grabs the treasure chest, and a rope from the ship's rigging
He swings back to the
Red Reaver!
"Yaharr! The gold is ours, mates!"
"Arrgh!"
"Har har!"
Dracaena the Dragon Witch
MadMario
Dracaena sees the Boney Sword, and swims for it!
"The Sword is mine! All shall tremble before me!"
She starts swimming back towards the shore.
Meanwhile, the warrior with the Skully Grail puts it to use.
"I call upon the power of life and death!"
"Make a transferance of life force! Let the serpent die, and the let the dragon live!"
"Huhwhaaargh?!"
"Hsss?"*
*"I feel... healthier all of a sudden? That's weird."
Sarah the Serpent recovers one point of Size damage, and now has Effective Size 3"!
The power of the Skully Grail is not to be taken lightly...
Fortunately another warrior is on hand to pick up the Grail.
He runs out of the castle with it.
The halberdiers step up to dissuade anyone from following, preparing response attacks.
Castle Periculous
EternityOfDeath
Sarah the Serpent chases after Dracaena!
There's no redshirt in range to help her, and the witch is caught in the serpent's crushing coils!
SPLUTCH!
Dracaena the Dragon Witch is slain!
The Boney Sword falls into the river once again.
Benny Bones the undead mechanik/miksologist tries to shove Dame Ingraine's horse off the platform, but it does not budge.
On the other side of the castle, the skeleton in the river swings its sword at a stone pillar. No effect.
Inside the castle, a skeleton attacks a Lion Kingdom soldier, who just barely manages to defend.
Sir Ector Plasm follows Captain Fawkes onto the
Red Reaver!
"You dare steal my treasure? Then I shall steal... your ship!"
The pirate ship undergoes a frightening transformation!
"Wha - ?" Fawkes cries. "What have ye done to me beloved
Red Reaver?!"
"It is now the
Black Blade! A ghost ship, fit only for a skeleton crew!"
Indeed, this ship can only be operated by the dead!
"And now - BOO!"
The duel between Fawkes and Sir Ector continues, but still no telling blows.
Selenius
Cybrandir
Commander Kepler looks out over the river.
"First things first, we need to get across! Land the Hover Hopper over here!"
The mechanik disconnects a coolant tube from the flyer's engine.
"All right, start spraying!"
The coolant fluid freezes the water, creating an ice bridge!
Meanwhile, the Selenius troopers notices the crossbows on the ground.
"Hey, check out these things."
"You think they're any good?"
"Let's try them out!"
The spacefigs prove themselves instant masters of the crossbow, making two difficult shots and killing the Grail holder.
Real Unreal Stories
Duerer
"We gotta get closer!"
The minibus backs up...
...and charges forward! Luckily for the Lion Kingdom crossbowfigs it does not have time to build up enough momentum to crush them, so they are pushed out of the way instead.
The skilled driver takes the bus up the stairs at full speed.
It slams into the castle wall, toppling the archway and battlements!
The
Black Blade falls into the courtyard, taking one point of Size Damage, reducing it to Effective Size 5". Sir Ector Plasm, the treasure chest, and all but one of the pirates are sent tumbling off of the deck, becoming disrupted.
A Lion Kingdom spearfig and a skeleton are crushed under the rubble.
The minibus isn't damaged at all.
The crew immediately starts filming, getting the ghost on camera!
"Oh wow!" Chad Chiller shouts. "Look! Look! A real ghost! Did you see it?"
"That was an actual spirit from the other side! Real Unreal Stories has proven that the supernatural is real! But, the question you're all asking yourselves: is it a threat to our existence?"
Chad Chiller leaps down and starts beating up Sir Ector Plasm! There are no weapons in easy reach, but he makes do with his tool!
"Fight me, ghost!"
"Oooh... Ooof!"
Sir Ector takes a pummelling, but survives. (Can a ghost really be said to "survive"? ...Whatever, you know what I mean.)
Real Unreal Stories score 2 footage points for filming the ghost and Chad Chiller in the same shot!
Lion Kingdom
Falk
Dame Ingraine calls out to Sarah the Serpent.
"Great serpent! Do you not recall twas I who slew Harold the Hydra, your most annoying ex? Make good on your debt by bringing me that Sword!"
"Skrrr... Sssss..."*
*"Yeah, that guy was a real pain in the ass... Okay, fine."
"Sss!"*
*"Catch!"
Dame Ingraine wields the Boney Sword once more!
Her horse kicks Benny Bones off the platform.
He's disrupted.
The catapult takes aim at the
Black Blade.
Unfortunately the shot misses, breaking some of the battlements instead.
The crossbowfigs shoot at the one pirate they can see, but he's in cover behind the edge of the wall, and they miss.
The last surviving spearfig charges the Dragon Witch's halberdiers!
With great skill, he kills one of them, while avoiding getting skewered by their response attacks.
End of Turn
The skeleton archer reassembles.
The skeleton that's somewhere beneath all of this crap does not regenerate.
