I did sent my banner choice in a PM, so the waiting was unnecessary…
Green/Red
Oh waiting was necessary. But out of the leftovers, Green/Yellow.
Time to defend the title.
Let the games begin.
Karasu no kokoro.
Give me a few microts I have one more post after this to post my banner.
While searching for tyri the group found themselves coming upon a group of pirates with a rather intriguing flag. Dokkalfar was the first to recognize it as it was the flag of his homeland. Upon its face was that of a web with the colours split between green and purple.
Me: what do the colours mean?
as we hunker behind a rock surveying the area.
Dokkalfar: Green represents growth and fertility however it can also mean ambition, greed, and jealousy. Purple is the color of power, independence, creativity.
Me: i see.
It dawned on me that these traits can be found in tyri.
Me: lets take them down and steal their flag and use it as our banner.
Dokkalfar, hobgoblin, goblin shaman: Done
Dokkalfar goes into the woods at our back while taking off his clothes and i turn away cause what ever he has planned i do not want to know. Moments later he emerges with a horde of giant spiders and swarms of smaller spiders. I have to ask him about where they come from later. The giant spiders took aim with their butts and shot web at the ship and nailed it on its port side. The web secured i started toward the web but was cut off by the spider swarms climbing on the web, and i noticed the ship being pulled closer. I heard gun shots and saw explosions and screams filled the air as the ship grew closer. Whatever is going on over there might be over by the time we get on. The ship pulled in and the webs detached, all on the boat were dead.
Me: should we take the boat with the flag or should we burn the flag.
dokkalfar disappeared into the woods.
Goblins: take the flag, burn the ship.
The pirates defeated and the ship burned and the flag in hand dokkalfar comes from the forest this time with no spiders. Seems he took them with him in there but where did they go? We make our way to broken spire for where tales say a tournament with the prize being worth a king’s ransom is due to take place. a perfect place to obtain funds to free her father but she can’t get through it alone.
Me: we find tyri get her to help us win the tournament we will help her with her save her father.
Tyri: you need not look far for me cause i have been following you since you entered the city. You will help me free my father? Then what are we waiting for let’s beat the everlasting frell out of these guys. Now here is the plan.
I whisper to dokkalfar about his disappearance and reappearance and learn of a most hideous scar on his back in the shape of a spider that was formed when he was captured by the spider queen and she forced 1000s of spiders into his body. Since then he can summon spiders from his own back. The thought that someone would do that. If not for tyri he would have been her slave.
Great job everyone on a successful Draft!
We had 17 days set aside for this and finish in less than a third of that time!

My lineup will be thus:
Herdmaster, due to leader trait and to charge Banshee and Sheggra with his yellow explosions
Banshee to charge Sheggra
Sheggra, because third slot is statistically shown to last the longest
Elwyn because there’s nowhere else for him to go
Make sure it reads like this.
Hobgoblin, His Second trait gives him an attack buff because of tyri and his third trait makes him a semi decent tank by dodging skull damage. This means that he is great against skulls while dealing decent skull damage. However this does not make him a one trick pony as he also has a spell that hits two opponents for decent damage as well, and by extension powers up tyri’s magic. Also extra turn.
Tyri, Her second trait makes her protected against troops that target but not so good against aoe attacks. However her third trait might make it so she can prevent them from gaining the mana they need to use their aoe spells. Each time an ally uses their spell her magic increases to the point that tyri can completely remove a whole colour from the board.
Goblin shaman, First trait gives hobgoblin the staying power he might need to stay alive a little longer, Also with the second trait makes it so that the opponent starts the battle with a nerf before the game begins. Goblin shaman is more than the sum of her traits though as her spell makes it so that she can feed her hubby with mana and net an extra turn in case she fails. This safely gives tyri another magic point as well and with a little luck you can cast shaman into hob into tyri each round but that might be unreliable. Also extra turn.
Dokkalfar, Second trait makes him hard to shut down but he is the last line of defence or maybe not. If he is killed there might be a chance at redemption as he become another troop. Was it the spider queens curse or maybe something more but when he takes off his clothes you can expect great things from him. His spell to deal aoe damage might be no surprise but the fact that he summons a huge spider to cover two mana colors and that can also feed him means that he can survive while cleaning house. This also means that tyri’s spell grows in strength but do not let that fool you cause it is only if goblin shaman gets out of the way first. Yes the goblin shaman butts heads with dokkalfar about almost anything.
Summones if any.
Giant spider, if summoned has a big body and much more than that can produce mana for tyri, goblin shaman, and dokkalfar but also summon a spider swarm. If the spider goes off it might grant an extra turn depending on field however it really just makes mana and powers up tyri.
Spider swarm, if summoned does tiny damage compared to all other troops but can poison an enemy making it a nice late game addition when you have to simply out last your opponent. Poison does not go away either so it can wreck a troop who can always armor up but can not heal. Sadly it has poor stats so it will get squished easily but that does not matter as it too increases tyri’s magic.
Note if dokkalfar, giant spider and spider swarm are on the field they cover 5 colors and do not step on any of their own colors. Only color not covered in my team is yellow cause we do not like the sun or the light.
And yellow. More so yellow because Giant Spider covers blue.
You are right it does not cover yellow. Dang spider i saw you as gren.
Whistles innocently.
I will still take you behind the barn in the tournament when it starts.
