Well it's pretty improbable anyway, depending on what odds we give them... you have of course played everything in Thomas' favour, including the surrounding fight but it's ok

Kinda inevitable when you let the character's creator write the story :P Especially when he's not very experienced at it and wants the character to win.
Maybe we should have a vote next time from the other players on which which character should win or which player's writing was more entertaining

I'll give Thomas a +2 for his rolls which makes the worst case scenario for Thomas impossible (even if Enego rolls 6 vs. 1 the +2 will make Thomas' a 3 thus the roll would be won by Enego but not decisive enough for worst case) -

The winner is the one that wins 2 out of 3 rolls.
Should Thomas win and have 2 or more decisive rolls he can kill Enego, if he wins "normally" Enego will get away.
If Enego wins he'll wound Thomas and will then flee, seeing there's no need to fight that many enemies.

That ok with you?

Yeah. Though I think I have a better idea than to kill him.

I thought about including a vote in the process but I think it would slow things down a bit... And I am convinced that it's possible for human beings to reach a consensus...
I do like to have the random element included as long as there's no results involved that the characters' creators can't live with.

But you do see in my posts what I would consider doing it more fairly. I did not "assume" so much of Thomas' reactions or how effective Enego's attacks or ideas would be, but I agree it's hard to do things like this balanced. Let's just keep in mind this is about the story not about winning all the battles along the way ;)

Yeah. Though I think I have a better idea than to kill him.

Tell me ;) I'll do the rolls in the meantime

After grilling him for information I'm going to get a bunch of people to parade him around the city with a sign around his neck saying "these are the people who rule you now, are you happy with that?" and maybe I'll get afew criers to spout some anti-thirteen propaganda.
Also I'm keeping his helmet as a souvener. And his sword's going straight into a collection I'm starting.

Oh and I'm taking one his hands, I'm sure I can hire a wizard to turn it into a voodoo doll in case he shows up again.

[TheLastDays]

Well it won't work like that, this anti-teleporting spell will not hold him forever so you kill him in battle or he'll run.

You have nothing with which you could pressure him for information. If you haven't noticed yet he actually enjoys pain and death won't make him cringe either. He's not talkative enough to spoil secrets just because he wants to scare you or anything.
You can keep his helmet and sword and if you're really paranoid keep his hand, he won't be back though:

Here are the results:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I started with Enego since he began the battle.

Enego:

Thomas:


So with Thomas' +2 added we have: 1:6, 6:3, 2:7 - that's 2 out of 3 for Thomas, two decisive rolls, worst case against Enego

So you can go ahead and kill him ;)

Oh whats the fun in just killing him?

I think dimentional anchor is good for afew hours, should be long enough to get a propaganda like effect if we show his deformed face to the crowds and lopping off a leg or two to show it growing back should persuade the people of Birun that thier new overlords are demons. We're going to be wageing a semi gureilla war agaisnt the thirteen after all.
Also I think he could be good leverage to "persuade" someone to hand over a ship, mine is pretty singed.

I'm sure the alchemist can come up with a truth potion of some sort.

Aww, I was hoping he'd turn into a reoccuring innefectual villain. You're no fun.:P

[TheLastDays]

He won't talk :P

It's already a stretch of you to just assume that the wizards spell worked on a being from the Void, a potion won't have any effect :P

Thought I'd make a few comments on some of these posts, since this is the first time the dice have been rolled and it's a pretty pivotal moment that will shape the course of the game, behind the secnes at least.

This is perfectly natural, everyone wants their character to triumph, you just have to remember to keep it realistic and ensure you steer well clear of Gary Stu territory; I'm going to put it out there and suggest that, for the sake of your character's progression, you should give serious consideration to the death of Gilford or the loss of Essa.

Maybe we should have a vote next time from the other players on which which character should win or which player's writing was more entertaining

If voting becomes the new way to decide combat, I have no problem with that, but I wouldn't vote were it based on the strength of someone's narrative... that's not a particularly fair or nice way to do it. As I said privately, this game is about fun, and I don't think deciding who's a better writer is part of that.

And his sword's going straight into a collection I'm starting.

A collection of the Thirteen's phat lewts? This assumes that you're going to be around when each dies...

I think you should probably stick with the host's decision on this one; either you kill Erego or you let him go.

I've already established that essa has a big crack in it and gilford has a habit of getting sidelined. I think if I use that I can sort something out in the future to keep it from getting too repetative.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Bah, you're all no fun!

Allowing your character to capture Erego would end badly for you, methinks.

The remaining Twelve would consider you a greater threat, and Vayne would probably send a stronger one of his remaining
Lords after you. It would probably be nigh impossible to have your character remain unscathed, whether by bodily harm, Gilford's death, or
the loss of Essa.

As TLD stated before when I created my character, the stronger we are, the stronger he makes our enemies.
Thus, giving Thomas the power to hold one of the 13, even if its the weakest would not end well.

Of course, killing Erego would have its own repercussions as well.....
