BattleCON G13 - KingdomAces (Lixis) vs. Zorblag (Seth)

[Zorblag]

It's another game of BattleCON! Welcome to the rubber game of the match where KingdomAces playing the Biomancer Lixis faces off in game three against the now familiar Zorblag playing the Oracle, Seth! Can Seth see anything in his future other than defeat at the hands of the Biomancer? He's being surprisingly closed lipped about it. And apparently not creative enough to change this part of the intro!

If you're interested in learning about or playing a game yourself at some point I'll point you to the BattleCON discussion thread in the Arcade. For now, thanks to KingdomAces for stepping up to be the next scummer to whale on a Troll in the pbf fighting series!

We'll be playing with Dodge and the Force Gauge.

Ante the first beat will go to Lixis on 1 and Seth on 2.

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

So, I can only get clashes when I'm not actually trying.

Grasp

Shot

[Zorblag]

I'll go with Compelling Burst.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

I was sort of hoping for strike and another clash, but I'll take that I guess.

Looks like I've got priority. I'll retreat 2, pull you one, hit you for 3, push you 1. You're not stunned. You then hit me for 3, I'll discard Strike and am stunned (thought that doesn't matter.) You can pull up to 2.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

Actually, I think I'll leave you there.

[KingdomAces]

Pass

[Zorblag]

Right, I'm used to burst losing priority. It doesn't matter much here of course. I'll pass.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

OK, you win priority and get to advance 1 or 2.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

Advance 2.

None

[KingdomAces]

Pass

[Zorblag]

Pass.

And drunk, so this is my last beat for the night regardless of how it goes.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

Right, so I'll use Wyrding's start of beat to switch dodge to Omen which will stun you and have neither of us do any damage this beat.

And that's all I've got.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

OK, maybe I lied. I can't leave well enough alone.

Spoiler: Beat 4 Attack Pair

Mimic's Drive

Spoiler: Reaction Ante

Beyond Eyes Grasp

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

Okay, I considered that also, but didn't think it was worth Bursting over. Especially since you did no damage and now you don't have either Omen or Dodge.

Spoiler: Beat 4

Vine Strike

No Ante

[KingdomAces]

Pass
