A small precision regarding magic path boosters:
They can stack, to a limit:
Boosters can stack: 1 booster +1, 2 = +2, 4 = +3. So a level 1 fire mage with 4 fire boosters can act as a level 4 fire mage.

To ERMOR:


Your nation is at it last un-breath and will soon perish but i offer you an opportunity for salvation. Send your greatest champion forth to face my greatest champion in a fight to the (re)death.

If you win we will return all the lands we have claimed back to you and return to our southern continent, returning the islands to independent governments of their own choosing, returning Ulm and Man and Maverni and C'tis and Marenka to their independent governments. This is a great prize for you. BUT... if you lose, you will dismantle your temples, sacrifice your pretender, and return to your graves and await the end times and allow Mictlan to claim your last province (ie- die as a nation).

Hmmm... Decisions, decisions... Do I go out in a last blaze of glory, battling your armies in a last ditch effort, or do I just accept this offer?

I guess that I will accept this offer. If I choose the first, I'll be finished most assuredly, but if I choose the latter, there will be still a small chance of me surviving.

 

[Immaculate]

LDiCesare- could we have a super-mini update- just the results of the champion's battle if we each put forth a champion to fight?

 

[LDiCesare]

Well, if both of you send me fast a description of the unit you choose and how it's outfitted, certainly. Tactics/stories explaining how your champion is supposed to fight can help too.
I'll also need precise terms of the fight (victory conditions, location, any special terms, etc.).
Then depending when I get that, I can probably post it before the udpate.

 

[Milarqui]

I've sent my description of my Champion to you, LDiCesare, as well as a set of conditions Ermor wishes to suggest.

 

[Seon]

You guys can host your campaigns at Pythium gladiator's arena if you wish, people .

 

[Immaculate]

Okay, i'll send my information soon enough.

We've agree to use ulm as our staging area. no pretenders, any magic is a go and any magic items is a go.

EDIT: my champion and his items are submitted to LDi.

 

[Immaculate]

1) I am pretty sure that we agreed on Ulm as a staging ground. (Milarqui- feel free to correct me). And to reiterate: any magic cast locally is fine (no magic cast by people or 'beings' not actually involved in the battle), any constructed items to help is fine as long as it is actually equipped on the champion representing the nation.

2) the terms are: whoever is defeated first loses

3) loss for ermor means i get their last province and they cease to exist as a nation and their pretender accepts that he's just some fool with dreams of grandeur and not a god (ie- game over). loss for mictlan means that we will give up Kitajima, Eriu, TirNaNog, Man, Maverni, Kymriu, Ulm, Machaka, Desert of 100 Tombs, Cyprus and declare them each independent nations with their own governmnents (we will keep our capital and Jaguars jungle which is culturally similar to us). We would return Ermor and Slavia to the undead nation and drop any claim to Bavaria.

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

I'm suddenly very, very worried. I see two reasons why you would do this: 1) you have a sure-fire way to win and are just stringing everyone along or 2) you are truly bored being the single strongest nation and decided to have mercy on everyone else by leveling the playing field. Either way it can't get any worse, so no point in worrying. Woo!!!

 

[Immaculate]

Actually, it has to do with a short story... does that worry you less or more?

and i am fairly confident in my super-thug but then he seduced two of my best thugs last turn too so he can match me devil for devil- i am gambling that his items are weaker then mine...

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

not sure. What short story, one that you've read or one you're writing?

 

[Immaculate]

one i am writing.

 

[Darksaber1]

Umm...I'm scared. Very scared. That might be augmented by just watching The End of Time...but still, scary. I get the feeling the Obsidian Mantis will soon be dancing on the ashes of the world.

The Apostate Ice Devil vs a Jaguar Warrior, just for ya, Immac

1) Correct
2) Correct
3) Partially correct: Ulm should be given back to me.

 

[LDiCesare]

ok, I've got both champions and equipment precised, although I need a small precision for one of them.
I need a public post from both about the staging area. I'd also like to have description of witnesses, if any.

 

[Immaculate]

we ammend our agreement- ulm would return to ermor if we lose.

We will use astral pearls to 'televise' the combat so all the people of the world can watch it. Use up to 5 mana for this. the 'telepathic vision (or TV for short) will be available in all sports pubs throughout the world). we'll have a few of our units already in Ulm to witness it also.

Staging area doesn't matter- an open field or something sounds good.

 

[Immaculate]

seon: thats a nice picture.

EDIT: the more i look at it the more i am impressed- did you find it? did you make it? it seems really appropriate.
