[Regelridderen]

So ol’ Lo was messing with his hoodoo dolls, when Collette stopped by for a less than friendly visit.

STRAT : Cursed Object - Flank Deployment

ANCESTORS

Spirit Walker + Soul Porter + 8 stones

Toshiro

Yin

2 x Kabuki Warriors

Sun Quiang

SCHEMES : Leave Your Mark, Set the Trap

vs

PERFORMERS

Colette + 3 doves + 1 stone

Dorian Crowe

Showgirl (HM) w. Magical Training

Angelica Durand (HM)

Carlos Vasquez

Cassandra Felton

SCHEMES : Hidden Martyr, Breakthrough

TURN ONE 

The performers chose a denied flank, while the ancestors congregated in the center. Yin met the duet, while Carlos took a bloody nose from a Kabuki.

TURN TWO

Things got serious, Carlos quickly lost his life, while both Cassandra and the Showgirl got bloodied, in return one of the Kabukis went down, as Dorian flicked a cigarette in his eye and his wig caught fire. Yin kept the duet busy, while Sun scrambled to keep her alive.

SCORE : Ancestors 2 (Strat + Leave Your Mark) vs Performers 1 (Strat)

TURN THREE

The remaining Kabuki opened the ball by lopping off the head of Dorian, while the duet turned it’s attention toward Sun Quiang. Leaving Yin free to join the center scrum, so soon the Showgirl joined the dead, and Toshiro could turn her corpse into an ashigaru and kill off Angelica…

SCORE : Ancestors 3 (Strat) vs Performers 1

TURN FOUR

With the performers decimated, we decided to call it quits. Cassandra would surely die, while there was little chance that the performers would get more than one point from Breakthrough and Strat, while theancestors would likely score the 2nd point of LYM and the strat likely ending in a 5-3 result at best.

AFTERMATH

It was the performers first outing since first, so unsurprisingly they took a beating - although they also took the coolest kill with Dorian.

Meanwhile the Kabukis once again proved themselves deadly with abundant +flips. Sun is likely a waste, and going forward will see himself replaced with Manos or a Samurai.
