Story Post: Test Duel?

I’d like to test the dueling system and see if it feels like it works as is or if it needs more tweaks to be fun and interesting. I don’t seem to be a particularly creative Wizard, so I just produced some very large beasts!

We will duel at the City Gates. All Wizards are valid judges and opponents and the King is a valid judge.

“What are you doing?” the Counselor shouted. “Those beasts are to be used in service of the king and kingdom, not to settle your petty personal squabbles!”

I don’t think the duel mechanics are fit enough for use yet, but I will volunteer as your opponent. May the best beasts win.

The battle was glorious, but a touch one-sided:

In position 1, on the south end of the field, Naught’s fire-breathing badgers (+3) held off Kiai’s Giant Numbats (+3)

In position 2, in the center of his line, Naughts Swift Winged Venemous Swans (+8) Trounced Kiai’s Giant Zonkeys (+3)

In position 3, on the north end of Naught’s line but the Center of Kiais’, Naught’s giant winged Emu’s (+7) flew over Naught’s mere Giant Emus (+3)

In position 4, Naught had no creatures to oppose the Giant Swift Venomous Swans (+7) Kiai sent around the north flank

In position 5, Naught had sent no creatures to oppose Kiai’s Giant Badgers (+3)

The forces ended up as a confused mess. It was uncertain who performed better, but In the end Naught seemed to come out on top (2 victories to 2 victories before an additional win being added to naught by a dice roll).

Naught is the triumphant of this battle, despite his numerical inferiority.

His majesty is greatly delighted with the performance of Winged beasts in exploiting city walls!

I think this judgment was mistook. Kaia won the deciding die roll, didn’t she?

( DICE2:1 : Kiai gets a win on one, Naught on 2)

Oh wow, that was Kaia. Sorry.

Kaia is the triumphant of this battle, with superior numbers winning the day. His Majesty is impressed by her ability to breed such a large variety of giant animals.
