A necromantic rockstar and a ghostly puppeteer walk into a bar.

Unlike her companion, the ghost passes through unharmed.


Then they fight over what the stage inside is supposed to be used for as the party fills up with more ghosts, ghouls, haunts, haints, and spooky scary skeletons than you can wave a femur at.

Is this an inconsistent and poorly told joke? Maybe! But it's definitely BattleCON! And if we're lucky with this matchup, we might not run out the clock :haw:

-----------

:siren: Stage right, played by Spincut, high on unlife and ready to play with a few characters of her own, it's Tanis Trilives! :siren:




:siren: Stage left, played by ActingPower, high on his own magnificent ego (and things best not speculated on) and ready to surf the length of the stage and back, it's Voco Astrum! :siren:



-----------

:siren: Players, send me your chosen discards and finishers! Spectators, get ready to duck and cover! :siren:

Who will win? Only time can tell!

Hm. Gonna pre-emptively make the call that Voco's zombies actually deal life loss during end of beat. Hope Tanis can jump off the board fast enough :getin:

This is a wise decision. Otherwise, RAW, the battle would be so completely one-sided you might as well only make Voco Almighty, and he'd probably still lose.

multi-attack means that you can hit multiple characters

so like, 3v1, the almighty character just fires this huge-rear end beam through all 3 of their opponents

I don't see anything that would have given you soak last beat; you get it from opponents being adjacent to zombies, but she wasn't next to a zombie when she attacked last beat.
