My dearest Mustachioed friends, this cat thing is getting quite out of hand. If I may suggest the "rock falls everyone dies" rule?

We shall take down the golden cylinders and collapse the room, killing most cats. The others can be killed beforehand by the skeletons.

Are you bifswagles amenable to this?

It appears it is time to peruse my copy of The Lord Of The Dwarves by Urist Lashedkittens. Chapter 7, "The Descent", details the dwarves' journey into the Mines of Moria, an ancient fortress for mining adamantine. In it, they found tentacle demons, which their championmarksdwarves handily destroyed. They were faced with fire demons, and though their bolts flew true, many fell to the flames as they ran past, searching for the elusive +Pig TailSock+ of legend. Finally, as they were leaving the mines, they were attacked by Logem's Bane, the terror of the deeps, the Balrog.

A footnote on page 183 notes that this tragic event was immortalized in the Tacticus rulebook The Official Tacticus Entities - Rules And Strategies: Volume IX. Page 204 states that the Balrog can be summoned when three conditions are met:

There are 25 or more units of class "Demonic Hellspawn From The Deeps" on the board.

There is a free 2x2 square for summoning.

There is a Wizard on the board.

As you all must know, DHDs include Tentacle Demons, Fire Demons, and Cats. Thus the first condition is fulfilled.

Of course the second condition is also fulfilled, as you can plainly see.

And lastly, as Wizard classes include Mages and Arch Mages (but not Alchemists!), the third condition is also fulfilled.

Thus a Balrog shall be summoned on the board.

Page 25 details the Balrog's behavior:

It will destroy everything around it in a 4x4 square each turn. Units will not be subject to this if they have both Fire Immunity and Incorporeal traits or if they are Wizards.

The summoner may pick a direction for it to whip. Everything within a 3-wide line that stretches to the end of the board in that direction will be destroyed, unless it has the Incorporeal trait or it is a Wizard.

It may be commanded to fly 3 spaces.

Balrogs may be dispelled by Wizard classes (takes 2 turns, destroys Wizard for 5 turns) or by the summoner.

I summon the Balrog and command it to move left, then fly downwards.

Quite a good move indeed you old barnswaggle. The necromancer shall summon seven more skeletons to kill the rest of the cats.

I dispel my Balrog.

Using what my good chap? You have no wizard class under your control now. Can you even control it without a wizard, or is the beast on the looses?

Ah I thought you meant the summoner class. Do necromancers count as wizards for summoning Balrogs? At any rate my alchemist shall gather up the cat meat to make in to level one acid.

I vote to increase the cost. Yes, necromancers are wizards.

I add a magma-proof pump next to the Magma-pipe and create a Legendary Pump Operator on the other side of the field. The dwarf will now go to pump the pump.

My nuke seems to have disappeared on Timer 13, so I need to roll 1d7. 7-so anything within 7 squares of where my nuke was is NUKED.

Criptfeind · « **Reply #41 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:14:51 pm »

Why my dear friend Akhier the Dragon hearted, I simply cannot let you do that. My alchemist shall throw a acid vial at your operator. He has four left. All this killing has leveled up my alchemist, he is now a level three alchemist and can make level three acid. Not only that but the as said in The players guild to TACTISCUS I now have wealth enough to attract migrants Three dwarfs appear one level zero peasant, one level one axe man, and one level one herbalist.

Good job Crypt but you forget, right after the immigrants part in "The players guild to TACTISCUS" it allows me to turn on the "Opperate Pump" job on your peasent! As per "Levers where meant to be pulled" rule set he will now attempt to use my pump.
