Title: Arena of the sands
Description: a new arena
Kingphesphestus - October 14, 2003 01:19 PM (GMT)
Here is my own arena it is different cause mine will be a bedlam rules
this means all characters will be entered at the same time i will need four characters at first to test this style out and if it goes well i will make another.
The rules are this;
there is no points limit
no mounts
At the start of each turn your character must
nominate a character your attacking, this can be three on one
or two or whatever if you attack a character thats already in
combat there will be some modifiers.
Also characters that are normally riders may be taken as foot models if appropriate eg empire grand masters
there it is you will start 14 inches apart from the others, turns will be ordered by a counter i pull out of a cup.
Good Luck

Sorry, but I was going to change my character. I am at school now, but should be able to change it in a few hours.
Aesgareth - October 15, 2003 03:42 PM (GMT)
If you do fluff on these fights, Minashima is a Samurai-Type vampire.
Arch-Seer - October 15, 2003 07:15 PM (GMT)
Ok, hes edited. Thanks for waiting.

Aesgareth - October 16, 2003 12:23 AM (GMT)
WHEW! That thing scared the s*** out of me!
Aesgareth - October 16, 2003 12:38 AM (GMT)
For his first Turn, Minashima will move forward 10" in the direction of Janus Turkov. He will then use all 4 dice to cast the 11+ version of Invocation of Nehek in front of Theorich Stormwarrior, positioned in such a way as to block Theoric's Line of sight to him.
During Janus' turn, Minashima will use of his dispel dice to stop any attempt at casting hand of Dust on Janus' part.
Swedishviking - October 16, 2003 07:00 PM (GMT)
Could I plz change green fire to red fire (nr.0)?? And here's the tactic:
Stay back and blast the closest enemy with magic (preferably blue or red fire) and then cast yellow fire on myself. Don't let anyone raise skellys infront of me!
Arch-Seer - October 16, 2003 07:29 PM (GMT)
Ok edited...again. Thanks for catching that(I was saving up to buy one, intending it to lead my army; Not anymore, though <_< )
Syrax will move 1" towards whoever is closet to him, making sure to stay out of charge range. He will charge anyone who comes within his range.
Kingphesphestus - October 17, 2003 12:06 AM (GMT)
Minamisha catching the sent of one of the arisen moves swiftly towards. Glancing up he sees the other arisen and gathers his powers, his eyes glowed as he attempted to cast his spell, but the winds of magic were not waxing strong at the moment as the spell failed to take effect.
Syrax seeing the man began to feel the blood greed all his kind did wanting nothing more than to supp on his sweet flesh, Encouraged by the maul he charged quickly over the short distance to engage him.
Janus seenig one of the other arisen is filled with a bitter hate as he charges forward he lets out a howl and three ghouls apperar as if from nowhere to attack theoric, as he reaches his target he holds out a hand suddenly 7 zombies appear behind him, Janus smiles before beggining to chant again this time minamisha chants also dispelling the spell
theoric smiled at the ghouls as he prepared to destroy them.
Combat
As syrax reaches the Minamisha he rains blow upon blow on him creating a gash in his left side where the maul tasted blood, He was excited not long till he could feast
Janus smiled cruelly as bitter thoughts of the outcast strigoi filled his head as he rained blow upon blow upon minamisha only one managed to pierce his defences however and inflicted a gash along his right side to match the one on his left
Minamisha was shocked at the lack of honour his opponents were showing decided to finish them starting with his fellow arisen as he rained blow upon blow he saw an opening and sliced through janus's neck killing him instantly. As he fell so did the zombies he had created back to the fitful sleep of death.
As the ghouls attacked him Thoric laughed, imagine these creatures thinking they could kill him a mighty lord of tzeench, there attacks barley scratched him, hestopped laughing however as one of the scratches started to burn, these creatures had used poison, in a rage he dispacted all of them back to where they had come.
Results
Janus was killed by killing blow of minamisha
Minamisha has 2 wounds left
theoric has 2 wounds left, one of the gouls poisoned him(lol)
Syrax has 5 wounds left
Aesgareth - October 17, 2003 02:44 AM (GMT)
Minashima will heal himself with the level 3 version of Invocation of Nehek (4 dice)
He will then attack Syrax.
His dispel dice will be used to stop Theoric from casting any damaging spells at him.
Aesgareth - October 17, 2003 02:46 AM (GMT)
Crap! I just noticed that Syrax is still illegal. He is using magical armour and shield, whilst the doombull entry states that he can take 100 points of magical weapons only. I don't know if this can be changed at this point (since the fights have already started). Regardless, Minashima will attack him with full fury to slay such a dishonourable foe!
Swedishviking - October 17, 2003 02:49 PM (GMT)
Theoric will cast blue fire and red fire against Minamisha (or whatever his name was). Then he will watch the fight between the other two as he backs away from them, and when one of them is dead, he will blast the survivor with spells, and then kill him. Hopefully, this plan will work, otherwise, it won't. ^_^
Dark Lord Jim - October 17, 2003 09:57 PM (GMT)
Damn that sucks. Lucky git got a killing blow *already*!
Ho hum. I win because I'm the first one out? Pleeeeease?
Arch-Seer - October 17, 2003 10:31 PM (GMT)
I believe no one attacked me, so the latest round wasn't flawed by me. I will just have him take the heavy armour and shield.
Kingphesphestus - October 17, 2003 11:31 PM (GMT)
actually he got three killing blows your ward save saved one and regeneration stopped the other.
Kingphesphestus - October 17, 2003 11:55 PM (GMT)
Minamisha attempts to cast invocation of nehek but is unsuccesful
As thoric gathers the energy for his spell the favour of tzeench is withdrawn and thespell goes horribly wrong with a explosion of light he is blasted into the wall of the arena
Minamisha ignoring the explosion Whirled his blade above his head attempting to strike down the slavering beast but all his strikes were blocked but one,which cleaved throught he beasts horn
with a roar syrax struck back raining blow upon blow on the head of minamisha finally with a great bellow one of his blades descends towards the head of the vampire who attempts to block them with his swords crossed above his head but the blow cleaves through the swords and into his forhead the last thing he remembers is the beast pulling his arm and drinking his blood.
Results
Minamisha is dead
Syrax 4 wounds
Thoric has 1 wound left
Thoric miscast and was blasted into the wall of the arena and cannot cast spells till rolls a 6 at start of magic phase(result three on the miscast table)
Kingphesphestus - October 19, 2003 03:06 AM (GMT)
As theoric stands up he sees Syrax charging towards him and trysto cast a spell but for some strange reason he could not gather the energy to do so.
In the next instant the beast was upon him raining blow after blow upon his head
Crushing his skull in The champion of the first arena
Syrax Doombull of Nurgle
