Another two player game against the same opponent.
Characters drawn were Dwarf and Fairy. Beginning of the game was hilarious as the board quickly filled with difficult enemies. Fairy (with Strenght 1) drew a few strenght monsters there and messed up with all of them, and almost every card the Dwarf drew were Craft monsters with at least Craft 3, many having craft up to 5.
What followed was that both characters tried desperately to get healed. It was easier for the Fairy, however, because of her alignment she could heal to full health at the Chapel.
Fairy has such terrible Fate and the spell cycling is totally random... this all in all seems to make the Fairy a really exciting character to play, because her abilities are really powerful, but she has huge weaknesses too in the form of Strenght 1 and randomness that comes from the lack of fate and not being able to count on spells.
Fairy got the ball rolling first and her Craft began to grow. She managed to get enough Strenght too to survive most enemies, too, so she had a clear advantage.
Dwarf, however, failed miserably at everything and managed to get himself killed during game. He did survive some amazing things, but in the end, an angry centaur came and killed him.
Next character that was drawn was the Highlander.
Despite being many many rounds late, the Highlander managed to grab enough Strenght to threaten Fairy seriously. We were playing random ending again and Fairy got to the crown first. Fairy had Lucky Charm, that allowed her to decide what number she rolled upon rolling a dice, and the ending happened to be Hand of Doom. So that combination was automatic win for the Fairy, because if you rolled a six at Hand of Doom, you won automatically without any further rolls necessary.
The Highlander, at the moment Fairy got to the crown, was one turn short of beating up Lord of Darkness to get the Cloak of Feathers.
Well, I guess randomness is what this game is all about, to see different situations that very random things can create. Me likes!
So, victory for: Fairy.
