Unfortunately, this cannot last. As dictated by the obligatory dragon pissedoffedness rule, the dragon must now atomize something. Hop to it, old chap.

Very well then, as soon as someone else goes I shall do so, as it would be un-gentlemanly to take two turns in a row.

The Dragon is a bit cranky now, and it decides it would like some dwarf flambe.

The Dragon fries two dwarves and chows down on them happily. It then falls asleep, blowing some smoke rings as it snores. I think those nearby dwarve should let it sleep. Maybe it will be a bit less cranky when it awakes?

((Edit: I see someone has beaten me to the chase, I must now revise my plan.))

As per listed in "Dwavres and Their Urges", I send one of my fisherdwavres to attempt to eat the plump helmet roast.  I will also make rolls for my remaining dwavres based on "Rob's Rules For Fishing" list.

*Rolls Three Dice*

Two rolls have came up with nothing, but my third fisherdwarf has fished up a skeletal turtle, which the dwarf has now placed on his head and named it Hubert.  Now for successfully fishing this up, I get to 5 counters to this dwarf's fishing skill which was just enough to turn him into a legendary fisherdwarf.

I have also taken the liberty of squaring off the board as it is absurd to have such an uneven playing field.

a great many words



I would like to congratulate you, sir, on such a concise explanation of the subtle nuances of Tacticus. A less intelligent man would no doubt of rambled but you made sure to keep both clear and relevent. (Especially with the bit about women's blouses).

I thank you sir. Of course, everything is relevant when applied to Tacticus.

Once again taking full advantage of the Applegears rulebook, I cast 336 dice.

Due to a Deus Ex Machina, I have rolled... 2016!

I transform all my tentacle demons into Adamantine Demons! (the one unleashed in the original HFS) and block the Elf's passage with a GAPING CHASM.

Muhahahahahahahahaha


Code: [Select]
███*██**█▓.`,,p',..'..'`...`'~c~c~."..'.",
██████****▓!.,'.,,.',."..`,"`~c~c~,.`.,.,,

However, due to a technicality, I cannot eliminate the chasm, trapping my demons with the elf.
Crap.

Following the grievous loss of their friend at the hands of the vile dwarves, an elf siege has arrived! With *rolls D8* six archers.

They will now attempt to ford the river.

I'm sorry, I just had to highlight that. ;D

To answer your question, It's just a matter of deleting and replacing the tiles of the map while keeping an accurate version of it on the side. Like say I wanted to create a chasm (as I did in the game) I backspace the ground tiles I wish to remove then type # where the ground tiles used to be. To figure out which tiles I want to replace, I simply count the characters and compare them with a well-formatted version of the map (referencing the topic summary while I edit). There you go. I'm GlassInMyEyeGuy, resident forum eccentric. Pleased to meet you.

Remember to put it in code tags. Teletype works too, if you must use color or underlines or other formatting, but code is preferred because it has borders.

Hope fully I've gotten the broad to work.

My Dwaven Swordsmen wakes up after his nap and moves to the Dragon.
I strike the dragon in the *rolls dice* nose *rolls dice* The nose is bruised

Edit: I can't seem to get the board to work

I've decided to not use my freaking cheap-ass made-up ruleset the advantage given to me by the Applegears rulebook, instead goin for a normal dice roll.
*rolls dice*
One of the demons punts the elf into the chasm while the others use the now hardened plump roasts to dig towards ye gold.

███*██**█▓.`,,p',..'..'`...`'~c~c~."..'.",

However, due to poor micromanagement, only one can dig at any given time.

I have endeavoured to create a coloured version of this map.  I do believe I have succeeded.  Tell me what you think, eh chaps.  It is the gentlemanly thing to do.
