Turn Three
Skylink Commandos: - CaptainSkylink
The medic and Captain Skylink move around the flame, careful not to set themselves on fire. The medic moves a good deal faster than Skylink, however, for obvious reasons.
The Chainsaw Commandos dash up to attack the last of the Dragonblood Knights, but miraculously, one of them fails his attack and the other her damage.
Sir Fungal's counterattack, however, rips apart the commando.
The gunslinger tries to take out Sir Fungal, but his damage is just too low.
The battle trike rolls in, wheel still aflame, aiming to gun down the sword-wielding orc before it reaches the fight.
It succeeds.
The Dragonblood Coalition: - Darkflame
Sir Mange scores an absurd amount of overkill on a Shove, booting the remaining chainsaw commando across the board.
Meanwhile, Sir Fungal moves to pick up Xera's staff, laughing maniacally.
He immediately uses the SuperNatural dice it grants to set a fireball on top of the trike, and a drastically low armor roll made for a lot of damage. The antenna, 2" cannon, one of the 1" blasters, and a second wheel assembly are all blasted off in the blaze.
Mange and Fungal decide to beat it, dashing for the pretzel.
Hillbillies: - Rainbowberry
Meanwhile, Maw takes aim at the pilot of the Daedalus..
And scores a critical success. She's good with that rifle.
Following that, she sits down in the chair for the missile launcher.
Blue Heliad Sciences: Sir Sporktimus
Once again the only remaining Blue Heliad troop, Lance Silversun Heroically Slashes apart the remaining Sword Ork with his laser bayonet.
Turn Four
Skylink Commandos: - CaptainSkylink
The Gunslinger Commando takes a long shot at the staff-wielding Fungal..
...
And Fungal is most definitely killed, as the Dragonblood Staff clatters to the ground.
As the flame spreads to consume the cockpit of the Trike, and the wheel assembly burns to a crisp before falling to pieces, the pilot ejects and dashes away from the wreckage.
The Medic revives the recently killed commando.
The Dragonblood Coalition: - Darkflame
Sir Mange snatches up the staff and makes a run for it.
Unable to make an attack strong enough to overcome Lance Silversun's armor, Mange settles for making a wave of fire to blast him back, but the steely commander stands firm.
Hillbillies: Rainbowberry
Watching as Sir Mange and Lance Silversun become the closest to stopping her victory, Maw takes aim with the missile launcher.
The resulting fireball obliterates Sir Mange, and knocks over the heavily armored Captain Silversun. Dragonblood Coalition Eliminated!
Finally, she descends down the side of the ramshackle vehicle to the ground.
Blue Heliad Sciences: - Sir Sporktimus
Silversun's entire turn is spent recovering from his fall the turn before, but he rises filled with the rage of battle.
Turn Five
Skylink Commandos: - Captain Skylink
With the Hillbillies dangerously close to making off with the Pretzel, the Commandos all sprint together, hoping to get in range before she gets off the board. Unfortunately, they don't get quite as far as they'd hoped.
Hillbillies: - Rainbowberry
Maw sprints for the edge of the board, getting only three inches short of escape.
Blue Heliad Sciences: - Sir Sporktimus
Captain Lance Silversun, devoid of any way to retrieve the Pretzel, settles for shredding all four of the Skylink Commandos in one round from his Blastgun.
Turn Six:
Skylink Commandos: - Captain Skylink
The Trike pilot snatches up a laser pistol and comes running, but only to find he's too late.
Hillbillies: - Rainbowberry
And Maw moves off the board, Pretzel proudly in hand. Hillbillies have won the game!
Epilogue:
As the dust settles and the survivors limp away, the Fifth Great Azurian Pretzel War comes to an end, leaving complete carnage in its wake.
"You know, I really ought to be sad right now.. but all I can think of are the opportunities. With this pretzel to sell, and no family to speak of, I can return to my old business.. I was quite the name in the galaxy before ending up with that hick, after all. Maybe someday soon, I'll be feared again.. Amaleen Georgia, space marauder extraordinaire!"
"This is Captain Lance Amadeus Silversun, reporting to base, sir. Things didn't turn in our favor again, sir. Yes, sir, I understand. It wasn't my fault, it was.. sigh. Yes, there were no other survivors. Sir, if I could only! Sir! While the pretzel remains out of our grasp, I did pick up something else you might find interesting.."
"You see, I know that little project you've been working on.. and I have something that could help."
"Step to it, soldier! The sooner I can visit the clinic and get some new body parts attached, the sooner you get a pay raise!"
"With respect, captain, could you be quiet? This is going to be a long enough walk as it is."
"Are.. are you alright, my lady?"
"I'm fine, Crawven.."
"I think we should return to the Dragonblood. We can seek healing there."
"No! I'm going to find the bastard who stole my staff, and make him wish he'd never been born.."
"We recover first. And then, yes. We find him. We destroy him. And we take back what is ours.. together."
"Together."
