Prologue | Turn 1 | Turns 2 and 3 | Turn 4 | Turn 5 | Turn 6 | Turn 7




Under cover of night, Sir Stalin directs Trotsky to bring them to the south wing of the castle wall where the Purple Wizard Corpse told them they'd be able to gain entry.

Sir Stalin the Bear: Silent-Sigfig
Sir IVasscus the Monkey: IVhorseman
Trotsky the Horse: NPC, answers to Stalin's voice commands
VladTron Fortress Garrison: NPC, currently not on alert. They're on the lookout; Stalin and IVasscus will have to make Stealth rolls every turn they're not in the War Carriage.

Same stats as before, with the following changes:
Stalin and IVasscus now have Magic Armor. This gives them the Armored bonus without making them Slow. They still can't swim though, so don't fall in the water.

Stalin's Bear Strength means that on every turn he can do one of the following:

• 6. attempt a Feat of Strength/Communism,
  7. use the Compensating Specialty as if he were a Heavy, or
  8. add +1d6 to Damage for CC and Thrown Weapons.

IVasscus's Monkey Agility means that on every turn he can do one of the following:

• 6. attempt a Feat of Acrobatics/Trickery, or
  7. use the Spider Gymnastix Specialty.

Feat rolls can no longer be used for making speeches. All Feats must be based on action, not words.

• Your Goal: Break into the castle, sabotage the drawbridge so that it'll be open when the Army of Mocia arrives, and escape.
  
  Secret Agenda: Win the Crown of Mocia by impressing King MethHouse and making the other knights look like buffoons. (Avoid killing them outright though, since that will likely count against you when MethHouse makes his decision.)

Remember that there's still a whole siege battle after this, so Dogdu and Rayho will also be joining in on the competition for the crown a little bit later.

Because it's just you two against NPCs, you can just post orders right here in the thread (unless you want to sabotage each other, in which case you can secretly PM me as needed).

So, in Stalin's case does Strength=Communism?

Stalin used his great communism to lift the carriage!
Stalin only heeds the principles of strength.

... Bears.

... Proletariat Bears.

Looking at the picture, where do you think my sentence came from.

I'm just gonna munch a banana while stalin drives us up to those conveniently-placed trees.

Stick with the carriage until it gets close to the trees, and then jump behind them for cover. I'm assuming I can use my spider gymnastics to flip around over some of those bits of wood sticking out of the water so I guess I do that to get in the boat. I'll even shove it across the river so Stalin's fat ass can make it over too!

QUESTION: is there anything flammable within eyesight?

The trees, the boat, and the carriage you're riding in shouldn't be tough to light. The carriage also has two Explosive rounds for the rooftop catapult.

How heavy are they? Imma start carrying one around in my off-hand too

7.3 Field Construction: Carrying Items wrote:A minifig can pick up, carry, and drop an element (or group of elements) up to the size of a 2x2 brick with one hand, at no cost to Movement of Action.

Easy as picking up anything else, but it takes a free hand. I'll leave your sword in the scabbard so you can carry the shield and the Explosive.

The explosive is probably much better at CC anyways.

Make sure to read Comrade Stalin's speeches.

I hope Silent-sigfig shows up at some point or this is going to be a very dull report.

I'm already wearing magic armor, fuck shields yo - just stash it on my back.

Do my eyes deceive me, or its really you Brags?

Unless someone thought it worthwhile to kill me just to use my Brikwars account, yes, it is me. I hope there isn't going to be a fuss in every topic I post in.

I just got one.
