If there is one thing Tantrum Spiral hates, it is barrels. But, of course, there is no one thing that Tantrum Spiral hates. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been this angry since all his friends died and he couldn't get a hematite armor stand for his room. The latter irritates him so much that this tigerman is super hosed.

Aren't stats normalized now though, so you wouldn't get higher stats from a higher skill?

(And needless to say, Tantrum Spiral is pissed with this result)

How much weapon skill did you have, anyway? You parried nearly every shot.

The build was Hammerskill 6, Fighting 3 along with the plat hammer and iron mail.

I was concerned about fighting a Troll, then I realized that his adamantine battle axe is wicked expensive, and trolls do not get a lot of points. And he bought armor. And a shield.

(Did Tantrum Spiral mention that one of his best friends was killed by a troll recently? This fortress is just wearing on him, I swear)

[Edit:] That said, I'm sure I'll get one-shotted off the bat due to dice, probable 8 rank difference in weapon skill or no.

Yesss. Tantrum Spiral v1 in the main tourney had to lose 3 limbs before he went down. One leg? Nothing to worry about. That dwarf ++ toughness is pretty solid.

EDIT: Alright, now that the anger of losing has faded, I'm now laughing my rear end off. I was honestly hoping the armor and 14 points in Armor Skill would help resist attacks.

I want to say that ranks in Armor only helps prevent your armor from encumbering you. It doesn't make the armor you wear any more efficient. If your armor is light enough, you don't need any ranks.

...And adamantium is pretty light :(

Oh man. Tantrum Spiral also hates aim-bots. He was good friends with everyone in the fortress. This is not going to go over well there.

Fighting 5: 225
Armor 1: 5
Striking 1: 10
Dodging 1: 20
Silver Warhammer: 300

Ha, it just seemed unsporting (and kind of a hassle with the calculator) to spread those skills out more. That's what I get, I guess, for not putting in the A+ effort. I get a victory.

My one bit of tactical advice for Meat and Two Veg is that maybe Onan should consider a blunt weapon so we have damage-type diversity (slash-bash-stab)

Definitely up for running some fights on Monday (assuming you want us to, Jazzimus).

Testing is nice purely for seeing what fighters can do. One of my guilty pleasures is pitting Theseus (<--That guy) against increasing numbers of Kobolds/Gremlins/Gnomes to see how many he can take at once.

Well you let us know if our team tests well then!

Or more importantly if they test badly.

I think our team is reasonably okay! I'm ready whenever myself. It's time for Compost Day to take out the trash.

If we do make it past the qualifiers, Meat and Two Veg, we probably should try to strategize a little. As-is though I think we have a solid, competent start with the points allotted.

I think I remember someone mentioning that a creature with legendary wrestling skill is roughly on par with a clueless creature twice its size regarding success odds for wrestling moves. And nothing but sheer size and strength can help you throw people better.

In short, as far as wrestling is concerned, go big or go extinct.

How do stranglers with their small size but strength+++ sort out in this?

We didn't want to tip our hands before the tourney started but our gimmick is killing the poo poo out of our enemies without taking any meaningful injuries.

Resurrecting our foes is LIKE recycling, so Compost Day approves I guess.

Clearly it means at some point we will have each of the four teams in a division in the same ring fighting to the death.

And then, later, each of the four divisions, each team working together with the other teams in their division, fighting it out to the death.

Even numbers. And blood.

We thirst.
