All Hallow's War [FINAL TURN]

Image

The graveyard shift begins as The PumpKing gathers his kinsmen.








Image

"Get locked and loaded gentlemen," instructed The PumpKing, "It's going to be a frightful night. For them that is."








Image

The flamethrower-wielding pump'kinsmen, simply named the 'Lighter', surveys his brethren and waits.









Image

Just beyond the gates, two Pump'kinsmen Smashers stand ready.









Image

Above them, a kinsman mans a single cannon with dynamite stuck cartoonishly inside.






Image

Meanwhile, Ken gathers the locals. "Alright everyone! Just follow my lead and we'll all be fine! I guess we need a name too for aesthetic reasons.

...How about the Scream Team?"

The nearby witches do not look amused.








Image

Behind him, a cloaked skeletal figure stirs from his place.

"Sorry," says Zupponn, "but you guys are paying me to collect Hellhunt entries, not defend against hordes of hippies."

"Well, damn," Ken replies. "I guess that's fine. Then... defend the Hellhunt entries!"

"Nah."








Image

Nearby, a Vampire Knight picks up his bloodaxe to Join the group of locals Ken is gathering.








Image

Mr. Skeltal hurries toward the Southwest corner of the battlefield to meet up with his skelebois. "Hurry up ya lazyboneses! We got some fuccbois to skewer!"








Image

"Thank Mr. Skeltal!" The skelebois chant as they march forward.








Image

"Alright people, lets get a move on! Pacifass is paying us a fortune to tear this place down!" Shouts Bill the Unbuilder through his loudspeaker.








Image

The Unkonstruction Krew trudges toward the fortifications, accompanied by a dreaded StudLift.








Image

A group of Peacekeepers approaches on the fly, whose appearances are enough to make a vampire's skin crawl.








Image

As well as a group of Hellhunt protesters accompanied by the terrifying presence of a TruceAss.








Image

Pacifass himself emerges from the once-dead forest with a nefarious grin. "Your Hellhunt ends tonight and for every year after!" He shrieks in delight. "Go forth, loyal apostles! Go forth and dismantle all the nonbelievers revere!"








Overviews


Image

A giant spider sits atop it's rocky shelter and overlooks the coming battle, its multiple eyes fixed everywhere at once.








Image

It holds no alliances, and will only subdue those who wander too close to whatever treasure lies in the cavern.








Image

But what madman would face the jaws of death just for the temptation of treasure.

On a semi-related note, what in the name of maniac beer is that generator for?








Image

Near the graveyard's gates, a cottage that burned down long ago is now inhabited by some ghostly tenants.








Image

Another mysterious chest lies below them, but does it contain a trick or a treat?








Image

Perhaps obtaining this spirit's key will unlock the answer.








Image

Turn 1

Player Initiative for the turn:

1. Skelebois (DJ Squidley)
2. PumpKingsmen (Bookwyrm)
3. Apostles of Pacifass (motorhead fan)
4. The Scream Team (sahasrahla)
5. UnKonstruction Krew (Falk)
6. Zupponn (Zupponn)



Skelebois


Image

Mr. Skeltal's skelebois form up around the bone herder.



Image

While the boneflingers create a firing line and wait for the fuccbois to come in range.





Image

Mr. Skeltal performs a heroic feat and plays something weird from his trumpet. No one knows how such an instrument can produce such sounds, but no one bothers to question it.





Image

The heroic feat is a success! Two more skelebois rise from the grave at the sound of Mr. Skeletal's doots.






The PumpKingsmen



Image

The Smashers stationed at the gates ready their heavy weapons and position themselves to intercept the attackers.





Image

The cannoneer grins manically as he lights the fuse to his cannon.





Image

And fires a dud.





Image

Meanwhile at the graveyard, the Pumpkinsmen take cover behind gravestones.





Image

Despite the numbers coming at them, the pump'kinsmen looked anything but grim.





Image

The Lighter takes cover behind the tower, checking his equipment waiting to get fired-up.





Image

The PumpKing leaps to the top of the witches hut, having grabbed a jackolantern on his way up. He looks toward the ranks of Pacifass. "Come hither you flamboyant goons!" He shouts, his ghastly voice easily heard by them. "Come hither and meet your untimely demise!"





Image

"The Great PumpKing himself!" Giggles Pacifass from afar.





Image

"...Or should I say the fabled Jak O. Lantern?"





Image

"You... No! I got rid of that name ages ago. Generic, tasteless!"





Image

"You fuckers should know a lot about that kind of thing!"





Image

The PumpKing successfully performs his heroic feat, hurling the flaming jackolantern straight at Pacifass!





Image

But Pacifass is not so easily thwarted! His staff soaks up the damage.





Image

And instead redirects it toward the ground a small distance away, destroying the flower patch and knocking a tree over in the process. The area around the impact is now lit on fire.





Apostles of Pacifass

Image

The angry protesters make toward the nearest section of fence.





Image

Their attacks on a simple 1x1 thick target are met with mixed results.





Image

Two protesters fail so hard they drop their bats and are disrupted, while another smashes at the fence with her sign.





Image

The attack manages to yield some success, the protesters have created a minifig-sized hole!





Image

The peacekeepers float toward the commotion at the fence and stare up at the PumpKing with flowery malice in their beady eyes.





Image

They wave their staves around while the patron of the Hellhunt reconsiders his positioning.





Image

Too late, the peacekeepers combine their attacks into one floral beam.





Image

Although his armor roll prevents any damage, the PumpKing is a little winded and getting increasingly frustrated.

"Y'know... you really shouldn't be... getting me mad."





The Scream Team


Image

Meanwhile the team scramble around the place and use their actions to try to find some hidden items.





Image

"C'mon there's gotta be something around here," mutters Ken as he peeks under the table.

"...Are you trying to look up my robe or something?" Zupponn asks.





Image

"Jackpot!"

Ken rolls a crit and finds a ton of lumber just lying under the Hellhunt entry table.





Image

Funkinstein also finds a small stack from under the cannon tower. It's totally not an important support-beam or anything.





Image

One of the Bitchin' Witches finds a crank of some sort on the ingredient shelf. Why a crank would be an ingredient for a potion is anyone's guess.





Image

The gang then dumps all their parts in the middle of the graveyard and try to figure out who is doing what.




UnKonstruction Krew

Image

Some workers go up to the ghost holding the key and try to reason with it to give it to them.





Image

While the other two nailgunmen fire at the cannoneer above, but don't do any damage.





Image

The UnKnonstruction workers realize they can't negotiate with the supernatural and decide to shoot it instead. The ghost vanishes in a puff of spooky smoke and drops the key at their feet.





Image

The mechanix meanwhile are on the move.





Image

Bill the UnBuilder rises his loudspeaker and yells at his workers to work faster since the Hellhunt kind of ended days ago and that they were behind schedule.





Image

Feat success! The mechanix start collecting building material like they just got actual well-paying promotions.





Zupponn

Image

Zupponn gets super bored and tries to summon any and all nearby GT elements.





Image

Success! He now possess a bunch of potion ingredients, including a stack of bubbling studs that used to be in the cauldron.





Image

But what's this? Zupponn's activities seem to have stirred something within the warpgate's generator. It's a keg of Maniac Beer! It's powering the whole portal!

Turn 2

The diceroll for initiate went as follows for the turn:

1. The Scream Team
2. UnKonstruction Krew
3. Skelebois
4. The Pumpkinsmen
5. Apostles of Pacifass
6. Zupponn






Image

The Scream Team builds a catapult out of the parts they scavenged. There are still a few spare parts lying around nearby.






Image

A couple of the witches start bitchin' Zupponn out, requesting that the GT be returned to their bubbling cauldron as it was a needed ingredient.





Image

Zupponn however shrugs them off and reflects to himself on how disappointed he felt that this was the 'only' GT in his vicinity.







Image

Meanwhile Ken, followed by the Vampire Knight, scramble around the back of the witches' hut to plant some traps for the coming invaders.






Image

"Alright, so lemme just roll for this heroic feat to set them up super fast and-"







Image

"-Oh dammit." Ken trips and drops his building material.

Feat critical-failed!







Image

Ken finds himself in a precarious position. The Vampire knight looks in and can't decide whether to laugh or to facepalm.






Image

The UnKonstruction Krew meanwhile seems to be having better luck. One of the workers picks up the key that the ghost had dropped.






Image

He maneuvers into the ruins toward the charred chest, heedless of the other ghost's ghastly jeers. He prods the chest with the key, it's a perfect fit!






Image

The chest opens to reveal... a mimic! The chest was just a trick after all, not a treat!






Image

The mimic lunges at the unkonstruction worker. Miraculously the worker survives, but is pinned under the mimics candy corn teeth.






Image

The mechanix meanwhile finish the ramp they had been building, no doubt fueled with determination after seeing the Scream Team finish the catapult in just a turn. Bastards.






Image

A pair of the workers with modified nail guns make way toward the skelebois.






Image

The two nailgun workers had wandered in range of the skelebois response fire.






Image

Holy fuck (the blue dice were all he bonus crit-dice).






Image

The workers didn't even have time to regret anything.






Image

Bob the Unbuilder jumps atop the Studlift and kindly requests use of the vehicle.






Image

The studlift is relinquished as Bob takes control. "Alright, time to put this thing into high-gear, over the fence, and into early retirement."







Image

The Studlift's engine revs with some real promise, before dying. Horribly.

"Or not."

Feat failed!






Image

The sledgebros didn't receive orders for the turn. Instead, they decided it was a good time to take a break. A break consisting of coffee and destructive thrash metal.






Image

The skelebros were NPC'd for the turn, so logically they all moved up to meet the UnKonstruction Krew.






Image

The skeletons that Mr. Skeltal summoned scrounged around for some kind of weaponry, picking up some planks from the Scream Teamn's spare parts.






Image

Mr. Skeltal climbed aboard the bone herder simply because it looked really cool. No tactical reasoning behind it that I could think of anyway.






Image

Here's a better view of the Skelebois positioning.






Image\\\

The Pumpkinsmen get bored of their grim positions behind the gravestones and decide to relocate.






Image

Two of them follow Ken and the Vampire Knight, while another awaits at the corner of the witches' hut for the Pacifass supporters to get in range.






Image

"Alright time to begin the turning of the tides, haha!"

The PumpKing raises his cane and tries to do a thing.






Image

The thing works! The PumpKing summons a small swarm of bats.

Feat success!






Image

The PumpKing hops aboard the swarm and directs it himself.






Image

And he moves toward a very specific part of the battlefield.





Image

The portal generator. Thing.






Image

One of the smashers tries to fulfill part of his duty in killing a mechanic, but misses.






Image

Atop the fence, the cannoner offers his kannon another stick of die-namite.






Image

Like a true professional, the kannoneer coaxes the bundle of die-namite into the kannon.






Image

This shot took a ridiculously long time to keep everything in place.






Image

The blast doesn't destroy anything directly, but it knocks over the studlift's original operator.





Image






Image

The Lighter (flamethrower guy) punches a hole through the wall and tries to burninate some mechanix, but his flamethrower jams up. No damage was done.






Image

The Apostles Of Pacifass pour into the hole in the fence.






Image

The dimmies crawl through the wall.






Image

The Peacekeepers float toward the gates, but are just out of range of any melee attacks.






Image]]

Pacifass moves forward on his cloud of hippy-peacefulness because he's too lazy to use his legs. He tries to use a spell but no enemy minifigs are in range.





Image

Using his sweet powers, Zupponn starts swirling his GT around like something cool is about to happen.







Image

Something cool actually happened! Zupponn made a mace with the GT he found.

Alright, this battle has been taking forever for my ass to update, so prepare for Manly Santa Day-esque stuff to be floating around.
