| Hey Jai can we get the names on the EC standings list highlighted with their emails? Easier than having to dig for them.
Anyway this week Jareth meets his first match up ever, Tullywi and Garrett who he beat way back in first week, now Garrett stands tall as the recent champ and it looks like itll be a beat down match between the two. (Tullywi drop me a note, available anytime tonight more than likely, as well as Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and again next weekend. Wed really only iffy night and I can probably get one game in there)
Thom meets Gorn again and is looking for payback. They faced in the playoff for the last top 4 spot and Gorn stole a victory. Will they field the same bands? will they meta against each other and both just go off the wall? This one should be great! (OC see my schedule above, drop me a note or post here)
Young Fadecourt is looking for a win, hes hungry, and he is having to face a dread Warchanter.
(Dino see note above)

While we're whining to Jai, I was wondering if it would be possible to have the fields in the Card Editor automatically refill when you take the info from the standings list and paste it into the card editor (like when you are levelling up your warlord's card)??? If it's easy to set it up that way, it would save everyone a bunch of time in the long run.. or if you have other suggestions how we can make it easier on ourselves? Right now I can load up my CARD in the editor, but the fields remain blank and I have to re-type or cut/paste everything just to change one or two things :). P.S. I love the system this is the only thing that could possibly be upgraded :)

Hope you don't get sick easy because my money is on Veliq the Bladesinger dancing so many circles around you that you'll turn green with envy. Tuesday, around 5PM EST.
Tkort -
Yellow will be your color as you'll be running scared in no time once the game has started between Valious and Santee. Coming soon to a Vassal near you. Unless I hear otherwise we'll say we meet on Wednesday night? 8PMish EST
Lowlevelstatic -
Seeing how it's evil vs evil I anticipate a nice mellow game, something in the royal scheme of purple. We'll be meeting up once again in different incarnations yet the same great gaming on Thursday evening 8PMish unless I hear otherwise?.
Jai -
I never expected the sight of such a petty adventurer to bring out such rage, but it appears your little band of would-be heroes will soon have an insight into each others minds unlike anything ever imagined. Looks like another night of ordering out for Gorthak delivered on Friday, also around 8PMish.
P.S. Nothing personal, just feel like talking smack that is probably not even able to be backed up [)]. Hoping for a fun game for all concerned this week. | |

Elf Warrior x2
Warlord: +1000 xp
Warlord leveling: +1 SP LVL, +5 HP, +3rd Fireball, Empower Feat
Lieutenant: +500xp to Tiramith the Wild Elf Raider
Magical iteam gained: Ring of Duality (dual activation)
Magical iteamlost: Pot of Striding [][x]

Warlord XP: +250 XP
Warlord Leveling: +1 SP LVL, +5 HP, +3rd Fireball, Elementalist Feat
Magic Item Gained: Belt/Girdle of False Life
Magic Item Lost: +1 Armor
Both warbands tossed a few spells around and I shot some arrows killing an orc. Once melee was entered the pouncing Frenzied Berserker was too much for the forces of Chaotic Evil. The Freizeid Berserker mowed threw the forces of Bosons army. Not a single Elf was lost from the side of Good during the triumphant victory over Evil.
Saliqui would like to annoucne her new ally. Gort the Tiefling Captian and Saliqui the Bladesinger have joined forces to fight side by side. Both Warlords find a unique interest in the chaos of eachother.
(PS: Can you remove Morthrug the Goliath Barb from my Lt. list since he never really was one..thanks) | |

Warlord Leveling: none
Magic Item Gained: (min) +1 Armor
Magic Item Lost: None
Summary
Another Epic Confrontation between Brother Grim and Elvira, matching their quite different styles of magic against each other.
I was concerned about my fearless hordes all running off the board, but figured I'd just try and stay off ye olde tiles and hope. I didn't bring a beholder, given that I brought two last time we played I figured he'd come prepared, and he did. I thought I'd done a good job of blocking off my assembly tile, but Elvira opened the game with a double move and quick cast fireball. Fortunately my gravehound made the Terror save after failing the fireball save. The gauth failed it's save as well, but it wasn't enough to force morale. Brother Grim made his save and the warrior skeleton next to him died. I retaliated with a gauth eye ray on Elvira for 15 fire but she made her paralysis save. Then the invisible orc champions started running around and I was more then a little nervous, but it turned out BG's 65 HP and massive activation advantage would hold up.
Round two rgrayua moved the speed 13 vamp to my gauth and quickstruck him for 10, but luckily for me the gauth made it's terror check and it's normal morale save. I then unloaded on the vamp with both Gauths, the thayan knight, and a scorching ray from the efreeti to kill him before round 3 started.
Round 3 rgrayua moved his champ in to try and rout BG but with +17 morale he wasn't going anywhere. I then unloaded on the champs, stunning one, although not managing to paralyze either one. He then moved the ZWD in to base BG which was awkward, but fortunately the ZWD rolled a 1 on it's aoo. I put some damage on the ZWD with my minoatur skeleton and a scorching ray from BG. Unfortunately I think both my Minotaur skeleton and efreeti rolled 1's trying to hit a champ. And the previous round my chraal rolled a 1 and a 2.
Round 4 I won init and hit with the thayan and efreeti on all 4 attacks to finish the ZWD and spare me a bw. His unstunned champ took care of poor Fluffy and cleaved into Nox, but 115 HP goes a long way. After unstunning the champ, I restunned it and then got lucky rolling a 19 on the abbatoir to kill him. I was then able to finish off the other champ with my remaining minotaur and an acid arrow from BG.
Round 5 rgrayua used an empowered empowered magic missile to force my gauth to rout, but BG retaliated with his penetrating scroll of | |

I found the scenario reasonably entertaining. My first thought that it was kinda too random (I don't like 50/50 dice rolls having a large outcome on matches) but in my match with rgrayua we just generally stayed off of the tiles and it was cool. | |

I'll point out, not certain that it would have made that much difference, that a 16 to 8 activation advantage is huge. While the 8 creature limit is coming in the regular game, I don't think it works as well in the campaign games given support troops and a warlord like Brother Grim that can summon two very nasty Minotaur Skeletons and two zombies that just get in the way. The 8 creature limit forced my decision of ZWD or two Burning Skeletons. Normally I probably would have gone with the burning skeletons, but needed to save room for hitters. Given these rules changes can we change some of our spell selections? I would definitely choose more summoning spells. It was unfortunate that I couldn't squeeze in a Cultist of the Dragon, but again 8 creature limit, I need solid hitters. Tried to get cute with the Vampire Aristocrat and then overextended him to take on pesky Gauth. [:(] | |

I'm not sure if this effects anything or not, but Summoned creatures are (now) worth VPs , and you only have to gain 100% warband size in VPs to win... which means you no may no longer have to kill all his creatures to win, just get 100% VPs. This is something non-summoners should use to their advantage.... or bring your own summoners, or a few Fireballs [)]
If this doesn't help, let's discuss in one of the discussion threads and I'm interested in any solutions you might have. | |

If this doesn't help, let's discuss in one of the discussion threads and I'm interested in any solutions you might have.
For regular tournament games, summoned creatures have counted for Victory Points for a while now; this is regarded as one of the disadvantages of summoning. The other disadvantage is that as a general rule summoners are fairly squishy. Unfortunately, both of those disadvantages are taken away or lessened in campaign games. Our scenarios are rarely based on VPs, generally playing until death or concession; secondly, if the summoner is a warlord they become much less squishy. That situation has probably always been there in the campaign, I just noticed it more with the 8 creature limit.
The only solution would be for us to start playing to a build total victory condition (including summoned creatures but not support) every time in addition to the scenario. This might also help with the length of games. | |
