12.07.2010 - long road to Crown of Command

Long game of four players, Talisman it was this time.

We played Warlock Quests this time in order to play a quick game but it was not to be... I think the game took four hours?

Characters were Druid, Amazon, Troll and Thief.

Troll started rocking around, as is usual for a base strenght 6 character. For a long time Troll was most feared character on the board until Druid managed to snatch a Warhorse for himself. At that time Troll was messing around in dungeon and had cooked up pretty nasty situation: tons of Craft monsters around. I think he had strenght 8 at that moment, and then I think it was the Amazon who got Rod of Ruin. That meant strenght 6 Troll.

Druid was fighting battles with strenght 11-12 because of the Warhorse. But he managed to kill only one enemy with it. Then came the horse thief and discarded Druid's warhorse.

At that time Amazon was challenging for the most probable character to reach the crown of command. What befell her... oh, I'll tell a nice story of Thief now!

As I said we were playing Warlock Quests. About the first card Thief got was Glory Seeker, and he lost to him. He had a special rule to lose all warlock quests. And he couldn't win until he would've completed four quests.

Game over for thief?

Well, Thief bravely managed to collect all four quests required and even accomplish two of them.

Oh, what happened to the Amazon? Well... Thief got the Grim Reaper moving. Grim Reaper moved on Druid. Druid rolled a 5, that meant he could place Grim Reaper on any character. He choosed the Amazon. Amazon had no fate left. And rolled 1. That was it for Amazon and Warrior emerged next. Druid had Teleport spell at that moment and got all of Amazon's impressive stuff.

After that the victor looked pretty clear, and so it was.

Druid won, again.

And as a mental note, seven games played, five of which were won with a spellcasting character... can we draw some conclusions here? Hopefully not...
