Special Note: Due to the large number of counters this turn that could potentially end the round, each action will be rolled for whether the previous action succeeds or fails.
(Counter Powder Miner) The islanders, realizing life under a Dragon Lord is better than unlife under Demons join the battle. While not strong, they distract the demonic dragons long enough for Arogeth to kill them, bringing the islanders and Arogeth closer together.
(Counter Theodolus, Dwarmin) Arogeth completely dominates them both, ending with a BRUTALITY.
Common sense dictates to Liu Tao that SOMETHING far better than Arogeth would be waiting for them if arogeth is the only thing standing in his way of world domination. He decides to say bugger it and retire.
-----------
The islanders rip his wings off. He survives, but can't fly anymore.
(Counter V-Norrec) The two demon dragons find Arogeth and engage him in mortal combat. Ready? Fight!
(Support Theo) Arogeth fights valiantly-the last being in the world to oppose the Demons! But, in the end he FALLS! They even peform a grisly fatality move on him-up down down left up down high kick low kick high punch
(Taricus, H=4: 3) Liu Tao almost packs it in entirely, figuring that even if they do eliminate the only real threat in this part of the world then there would still be problems conquering the rest of the globe... but he reconsiders! He didn't overthrow the demon lord just to back out like a chump now, and when this plan works the horde will flock to his banner once more. All he has to do is prove he has what it takes for them to dominate the planet, and they will listen to him. Patience, Liu Tao... patience...
(Powder, M=3: 1; as a result V-Norrec's action becomes Easy. V-N, E=2: 3. Theo & Dwarmin, H=4: 6, 5. Krath, D=5: 4.) The islanders see the demon dragons coming, and despite their misgivings, they decide that maybe they should back Arogeth. Life under demons would be much worse than life under a single dragon, and if need be one day they could probably kill him. Although untrained and lacking realy weaponry, they charge alongside the dragon to engage! The battle is long, bloody, and brutal; all the islanders are slain quickly, leaving Arogeth to fight on his lonesome. He tries his best, but even with his enhanced durability he's just one dragon against two. Thrak and Daigo tear him apart...
From the moment Liu Tao ascended from a mere low adviser to the demon lord to usurp his throne, it was only a matter of time before his plans reached fruition. The continent has been leveled; all traces of previous civilization - man, dragon, dwarves, elves, trolls, plants, wildlife, all of it - has been replaced by miles of rock and desert. The demons are building a new kingdom there now, and under Liu Tao, they will soon begin building ships to take the fight to other continents, with the former heroes turned demon dragons, Thrak and Lucky Daigo, as their vanguard...
TEAM SUCCESS: 87
TEAM FAILURE: 102
A Team Failure Victory! Round 5 will begin as soon as I update the rules to reflect current trends, which I'll work on tomorrow. It's late so I'm just gonna get a few rounds of AC:B in and get some sleep.
