The 8th stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

Day 117
"It's a load of crap, we'll get over it!"
A popular vampire saying.

Lord Haart takes a bonfire +500 and 5 mercury, a chest +1500.
Malcolm takes a chest +1500, recruits 30 vampires, picks up 2 mercury piles, and gives 76 vampires to Risse, who passes them on to Alkin.
Alkin kills 1+1 azure dragons near the portals at the Barbarian castles and gives the vampires to Peer.
Peer kills abyss lords near the castle on the swamp (receives a Ranger of level 3), picks up armor +5 to spell power, passes on the vampires and the artifact to Gurnisson.
Gurnisson kills djinns, picks up a helmet +5 to knowledge, and kills 6 angels on the way to the portal.
A hero runs out of the castle on the snow, dives into the portal, and transports the artifacts and 76 vampires from Gurnisson to Alkin.
Alkin easily kills 5 crystal dragons near the starting castle and reaches level 6.
Next, 2 groups of 20 rust dragons and 5 crystal dragons die near the enemy castle, and Alkin runs into it without a fight.
In this castle, we build Valhalla and buy Ivor, who kills Vokial and Crag Hack with 76 vampires, and gives the trophy shield and sword to Alkin. Alkin kills Vey in auto-battle mode.

Victory!

Total: 7 days, Alkin is level 16 with stats 10-16-10-10 (total 48). 36 mercury.
