Haha, awesome, thanks for the likes and the Bloody Mary, it really brought me a smile! :)

Those old posts on my profile bring nice memories, though I never finished that Lucas Arts adventure games marathon; lost momentum after losing my saved game half-way through Monkey Island 2. I should go ahead and finish the marathon and add Thimbleweed Park to see how that insulting clown is doing with his curse. :D

How do one add games to their request? I want to add one game to my list

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

I edited my first post

What a nice battle, finally that copier is out of the way.

Simply edit your first post and add the game to the list, remembering to put the games you have entered for in order of preference.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Fight 28

The machine-human-machine aesthete malware that is (31) Osen enters the arena. He is not happy to be back in the bland, featureless surroundings.
The hybrid that is (72) Katmeleonpus bounds in, octopus tentacles slapping on the ground as she goes. Her Siamese cat head turns to take in her surroundings as she changes colour to blend in with a nearby pillar.

* DICE ROLL 1 *
Osen rolls 4
Katmeleonpus rolls 8

Osen, the malware purveyor of art and beauty, the seeker of enlightenment regards the creature before him with disgust. He watches on as Katmeleonpus cleans her Octopus tentacles with what appears to be a chameleons tongue. She starts to cough up a hairball which lands on the ground covered in ink.

Osen decides this is not the place for one such as himself and makes his way back to the tavern with its decadent architecture and fine art.
Katmeleonpus stops cleaning herself and looks around for her opponent. Seeing no-one around, her tentacles start slapping the ground and she makes her way out of the arena.

Fight 29

(58) The Bard enters and bows to the audience. He greets one and all "Good dawning to thee, friends". His cultured presence elicits a mixed response from the crowd, some appreciating his class while others preferring a more blood-thirsty approach from their combatants.
The arena suddenly gets a lot warmer as (79) Kirthal enters, exhaling smoke as he does so.

* DICE ROLL 1 *
The Bard rolls 6
Kirthal rolls 6

The Bard faces his imposing adversary and with a voice that is strong and clear proclaims -
"Your breath first kindled the dead coal of wars
And brought in matter that should feed this fire;
And now ’tis far too huge to be blown out
With that same weak wind which enkindled it."

Kirthal snorts "I am no simpleton to be bamboozled by your fancy words"
The fires build in his gullet.

* DICE ROLL 2 *
The Bard rolls 8
Kirthal rolls 3

The Bard is undeterred and feels the power of the wordsmith building within. He cries out -
"I drew this gallant head of war,
And cull’d these fiery spirits from the world,
To outlook conquest and to win renown
Even in the jaws of danger and of death."

Kirthal cocks his head as the denizens of the arena, inspired by the power of the bards words leap into battle.
An Ogre charges, club raised but crumples to the ground dead as Kirthal unleashes his fiery death upon the crowd. Dozens perish screaming but the glint in Kirthal's eyes is extinguished as a Water Elemental takes it upon itself to leap into his open maw and down into his stomach, quenching the fire from within.
With the Drake in a weakened state the Bards new found army soon overpower it and hack it to death.

The Bard bows to his crazed, bloodied fans and takes his leave.
Kirthal is in the tavern and with a sigh breathes a little flame to toast some marshmallows for a blue huggy thing that gives a happy little "Yay!" in response.

** NEW GAME ADDED **

Phoenix Point: Year One Edition

Happy New Year as well to everyone! I can just imagine The Bard breaking out into tavern song, strumming that lute in sure and fine strokes. ^_^

Fight 30

Flying into the arena is the squirrel (112) Stamat, looking fatter than in his previous fight.
Chef hat bobbing into view, (75) Mina asks "Who ordered fried tree-rat to go?"

* DICE ROLL 1 *
Stamat rolls 7
Mina rolls 7

Stamat fills his chubby cheeks with sharpened acorns and starts spitting them at Mina like a machines gun. The chef bats them away with her prized Meat Tenderizer.

* DICE ROLL 2 *
Stamat rolls 8
Mina rolls 9

Stamat turns his big sad eyes onto Mina, looking for food. Mina has other ideas and slaps thick slices of bread either side of the squirrel "Mmm, rodent sandwich".

* DICE ROLL 3 *
Stamat rolls 9
Mina rolls 5

As Mina lifts the sandwich towards her mouth the squirrel manages to lock his big round eyes onto hers. Her mouth hangs open as she gently puts Stamat down having fallen under his spell.
Mina empties her many chef pockets, piling high fruit and other tasty treats that the squirrel gleefully tucks into.

Stamat glides out of the arena tummy full to bursting.
Mina is where she loves to be, in the taverns kitchen cooking another masterpiece.

Happy new year!!!
