INTERACTIVE BATTLE TOURNAMENT#4 - STAGE SIX FIGHT

in contest •  7 years ago 

Stage Six


You make it to the coast and swim across to the castle. Just outside the castle walls you pass the stables and notice some small droppings on the ground?... Damn to late,  looks like @cryptonik let the goats out and has already started strange experiments on them with a device which can digitize and turns them into bots for #teamnz

You take away his bot creating digitizer and continue on your journey...

Eck! looks like the castle draw bridge is down and the main gate is open, smells like a trap...nope just @doctorcrypto again, man! if you stand still too long it will burn your eyes, so you flee into the castle and straight into a trap!!

There is a pretty nasty guard, but luck would have it he is asleep, maybe if everyone is real quiet...

Damn! @doctorcrypto stop eating those Chilli Cheeto's - the guard wakes up while the rest of the party struggles for breath now severely weakened by two hits of gas, the timing couldn't be worse.

          


This is it guys! 

All the training, blood and tears (currently in your eyes) have brought you to this point. You are chocking on gas and this guard is about twice your size...but hey you'll do your best to survive I'm sure!

You woke his beauty sleep and now he is pissed! the smell has enraged him and he is heavily armored - the sleepy guard has as an attack of 9! (You must score a hit of 9 or more to win this final Stage of IBT#4).

Special field info for this Stage (check for your class): Your eyes are burning and the smell is choking you, how does he grow such powerful chili?

Warrior: Player has -1 to hit

Wizard: Player has -1 to hit

Archer: Player has -1 to hit

Your all doomed! but @doctorcrypto has an immunity to the Chili effects (his Special field effect is nil).


Special Note: For the next boss round you will face each other, items are not allowed so I suggest you use them up now and enjoy the stage :) 

Game Instructions

You need to self manage your character, you have 3 life points (3 attempts) to defeat the foe:

-Here is a heart image that you can use to show your current life count

 - It is hoped in a future IBT this process can be automated, but for now it is a manual DIY process.

Find Detailed Bot instructions here 

Quick Summary of attack Commands per class are:

Archer attack: !sendanarrow or !sendabunchofarrows 

Warrior attack: !mightystab or !mightyslash

Wizard attack:!magiczap or !magicblast

 

To pick a foes pocket before they are dead:

!picksomepockets 

IF GOBBO COMES?:

You must use the mighy/risk attack on Gobbo. If you beat him, you may pickpocket and item and the resume the game, you will need to do the last attack again (but might have a nice item to help)

You need to calculate if you won the fight or not? If you won in the first attempt, you will win Steem! and you just need to keep an eye on the campaign map to see when the next stage is ready and you can move on. 

If you didn't you lose a life and may try again or just wait for the next Stage - it's totally up to you :)

To calculate your true damage you need to add/remove from the bot provided hit points number any positive/negative effects from any items you currently have or any other special field effects listed

Remember: This is a work in progress and you are supporting the work by playing and providing in the field testing :). 

HAve a great time!

🚩🚩🚩 PLEASE READ -- UPDATED AGAIN: OFFICIAL RULING 🚩🚩🚩

Hmmm... @lordnigel and @cryptonik, I'd like to propose a contingency plan, that if the main IBT dice-rolling bots are still down for a prolonged period of time, that we allow people to declare their attacks and then use another dice bot for combat...

e.g.
!mightyslash
@rollthedice

For a basic attack, 1 would result in a Gobbo summon which the player could then call manually, while 2-6 results in a roll of that number.

For a strong/risky attack: 1, 2, and 3 become a failed attack and loss of a life. 4, 5, and 6 would be doubled (to make 8, 10, and 12 respectively).

(UPDATE: Thanks @lordnigel and @cryptonik. At least this will let some people who don't want to pickpocket to proceed. And if necessary, we'll just do it again with a regular 6-sided die for the finals.)

(UPDATE 2: If you wish to pickpocket to obtain an item while @schopenhauer is still down, please make a two-line comment in this format:

!picksomepockets
@rolltwodice

Use the following table to determine your loot:

Hi everyone, sorry the game has stopped working...it's just one of those things, everyone has tried their best to restore the game, but despite efforts still no luck.

Please hang on for a few more hours, and if we have no luck tomorrow I will post how we will complete the boss round using a simple dicebot to finish this IBT.

Working with bots and Steemit is not easy, its very experimentl still, and while all the people who help to put it together make it seem easy, it really isn't...we are not Pro's doing this for wage, rather everyone is volunteering and helping out - thanks to all the players for being patient, we will get there :)

To keep up the IBT spirits - heres a great side quest/read

https://steemit.com/writing/@doughtaker/the-unofficial-ibt-book-of-universal-records

You blow on two 6-sided dice, and throw:

First die lands...
You rolled a 1.

Second die lands...
You rolled a 1.

So in this example, the first die was a 1, so I will refer to the ODD row in the loot table. The second die was also a 1, and that corresponds to the Book of Death.

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

You rolled a 4.

So in my example above, that would convert to a roll of 8 (-1 for stage effect), which would fail against the guard's 9.

Hi @Doughtaker, just on my way to work when I saw what's happened.

**Agreed! for anyone wanting to play-on I'd suggest your rule about this is fine. i.e. use @rollthedice bot **

For those wanting to wait, hopefully the bot is restored shortly.

*We may need to also go with a simplified simple rollthedice path for the boss round.. if the bot stays down longer then a day. *

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

You rolled a 1.

Great!

Oh no! What if we didn't reach the boss round yet? :S

There are no eliminations in this edition of the IBT. Everyone who properly enrolled is eligible to take part in the boss round. @lordnigel will announce contingency plans for the boss round should the need arise.

If you have any uncompleted stages that you'd like to deal with ASAP, please refer to my ruling above on how to engage using other dice bots. My stage 6 actions also serve as an example of the current contingency plan in place.

Chick Norris has 3 life points, and a Helm of Doge in inventory from the shop, which will now be activated. He's also ready to demonstrate how to engage in pickpocketing and combat with @schopenhauer still offline at the moment.

!picksomepockets
@rolltwodice

You blow on two 6-sided dice, and throw:

First die lands...
You rolled a 4.

Second die lands...
You rolled a 2.

First die is 4 (EVEN). Second die is 2.

Using the provided loot table, the item looted is a shell (-1 to player).

Chick Norris now has a Helm of Doge and a shell active, which cancel each other out.

!mightyslash
@rollthedice

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

You rolled a 6.

!mightyslash is a strong/risky attack, so the 6 is doubled to 12.

12 + 1 (Helm of Doge) - 1 (shell) - 1 (stage/class rule) = 11 (PASS)

Chick Norris has succeeded again on the first try.

Time to attack:

What a show-off you are!! Your hands move swiftly, your stance is impeccable, and you are cooler than a bucket of ice on a sunny afternoon. All 3 arrows hit home and your foe crumbles at the mighty 12 point hit you just dealt.

Lol! so smooth..

OMG! What are you doing? You go to draw three arrows but forget to put your belt on and your pants fall down. You drop your bow to protect your Tralala and are forced to run from the battle field. As you flee, flashing everyone with your bare buttcheeks, the foe gently inserts a knife in your back ...you lose a life! Please bring your belt next time!

Lol! shameful display....rrr gotta pull myself together and try again.

-SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-

Due to technical issues outside our control (the 24 X 7 Server is down that the bot runs on, and the Service Provider is non responsive). I'm going to end IBT#5 by posting the Boss Round shortly and play it out with a simle player vs. player 6 sided dice.

Everyone is more then welcome to play on for the various stages using @doughtakers recommended approach using the dicebot run by @aussininja OR wait until the newer experimental IBT bot returns to service (unfortunately we can't say when, but I might guess days vs. hours, given it's Easter and the Service Provider is non responsive).

My sincere apologies to the IBT community and I hope this doesn't put people off playing/contributing towards future IBT. We have learned so much from this IBT, and even now planning for an improved/robust IBT#5 is taking place.

All players have until the Boss round payout occurs to play, so feel free to wait it out or play on with dicebot (the choice is yours)

Happy to take questions here as well :)

All the best

As Angel Food blinks his way out of a characteristic daze, he recognizes the feeling of something in his hand, and then he recognizes his hand cradling a warm shiny donut. Angel Food has very little recollection of how he got there. He only wants a donut and the thing in his hand just might be one.
@cryptonik stares while his digital goat bot device gets rejected in Angel Food's taste test. "Too much glaze, needs more chocolate. Are we there yet?"

If one had witnessed what had happened to Angel Food in the bog, they would be surprised and slightly embarrassed for this revived wizard.

Suddenly Angel Food looks at @cryptonik and says, "Fuck whatcha herd, I'm bout to smack a bitch with this Book o Mothafuckin Death!" Angel Food has declared a Book Of Death also.

Is 6 the same as a 12? @doughtaker

That counts as a 12, which means you won on the first attempt. Congrats.

Angel Food walks up to the guard and with a familiar flash of light, the guard is turned into smoldering ash. gif_1521941901.gif

The smell of burn farts is abundant as Angel Food continues on to the next stage.

ok.... poor @doctorcrypto!!!! LOLOLOLOL such a sweet narrative for him hahahahaha

I wipe my eyes from the laughter and get serious! It's time to clear the air and mop the floor with this guard!!!!

You manage a land a blow that looks far more impressive than the damage it actually delivers. Nevertheless, you cut the enemey with a hit of 3 points. You just like to play dont you?

Gosh....arrghh, Go all out...there is no way to get enough damage the safe way :(...I mean you might luck a Goboo, but odds are low.

oh.... gotcha @lordnigel - so i have a 7 so far - and i need to do one more blow? so i can't do a mightystab for the third time?? LOL

The Epic Flatulence of Luck guided Malakai's arrows for a swift win on the first go. Too bad he will be tasting digested chilis for days. Stumbling past an angry meowth with an odd shaped boot print on his back, Malakai leaves the area as swiftly as possible.

Johan walks into the room where the guard is stationed and immediately reels at the overwhelming stench which appears to have saturated the guards loins.

Johan pulls out some Glen 20 and begins to spray the surroundings before engaging with the guard of doom.

If you wish, you may call for the bot known as "rolltwodice" to perform the pickpocketing, and/or the bot known as "rollthedice" for combat. Add the @ sign to the bot's name and it will respond. Please refer to my newly updated official ruling above to see how to determine your loot and/or the results of combat.

Hahaha no worries - my humble thanks for dispatching the NPC riff-raff along the way.

The main bots are still down. You should call the bot known as "rollthedice" to resolve your attack. Rolling 1, 2, or 3 counts as a failure and a loss of life. Should you roll 4, 5, or 6, that will be doubled to 8, 10, or 12 respectively. For further details, please refer to my official ruling above.
