Knights of Tezoth

I was about to mention the painting as well, but realized that's not an option either.

Draw Orvald with a stinking aura that makes everyone around feel sick.

You can offer him money.

You're the richest one here, so...

Milady Stephania Valentine heroically overcomes all this vile lizard-Revan filth wins this madhouse ragefest on the 53rd I think round...

And now I have to describe all this...

Damn, I was really hoping for a grand finale with Whitecalm. But the prince will do too. Thanks to the one-eyed one for removing the retaliation...

How long would she have been pounding away at him without bleeding? I need to film an anime episode about this fight.

After this fight, Alba will stock up on anti-pegasus bows.

Damn, so does that mean I have to finish the prologue and write a big post next? Am I GOING TO HAVE TO LEAD THE EXPEDITION?

The genre is comedic-depressive.

I've already decided for myself that if the retribution isn't lifted, I won't "spin the randomizer" for the blood flow from the retribution, but will post a password-protected archive with two randomized sequences and offer you to name two digits: from 1 to 13 and from 1 to 20. You would have chosen your own fate yourself...
But Tarentos was unlucky — he died without ever taking a sip from the flask...

By the way, Elsa will fix Lester's coin and the broken items of the Albusovka after all the events (unless someone "pulls something," of course).

Only 3 more hits would have been needed...

Congratulate me on the victory! Hooray, hooray! And so on. And so forth! Thanks to Ples for the victory! Thanks to Loken for the victory! Thanks to Yashchur for the victory! Everyone else — you're all great too, even troll-Arandor with his curses and his "well, you guys fight under my curse while I sit in the corner" tactic.

And now, in order:

1) Ples set up the formation, calculated the start, convinced everyone to shoot lightning at Chonchonliya (okay, Geroist also played a significant role there, thanks to him too). In short, yes, I was nervous, especially about the debate on whether to fly to the box or not. So, Ples, I believe in your honest, good intentions and hope that the box would be preserved, but I read Yashchur's intentions correctly. I still don't understand why he took Ferlyuts away, didn't leave Nebka the wyvern, and even killed you. In any case, you could be relied upon, and we all did. In short, Ples is a great guy; if, according to RP, the GM suggests sharing the honor and glory (i.e., reputation points) with someone, Stefania would give 2 points to Alaria. True, that would require adjustments to the chronicles.

2) Huge respect to Loken for killing Candle. Yes, it was actually Ples's decision, but that sacrifice sealed the deal to the max. It was painful to watch both the poisoning and the sudden removal of invisibility. In short, top-1 in painful deaths of this drama. Top-2 — Geroist, top-3 — Ples. Then Alex, Nebok, Arandor, Nelia, and Galyan. Rezara is also pitiable; he was on the bad guys' side but killed the troublesome Nina.

3) Well, the main reason for my victory in the end was Yashchur's decisions. First, he shouted louder than anyone that the team was handing me the victory, and then he brilliantly directed the Northerners and Vaitkalm against the players to eliminate all my competitors for the finale. Seeing that the NPCs had no chance, he could have at least reduced my chances, but he chose not to 💖

And overall, the idea of introducing the Northerners when there were already four "neutrals" was incredibly cool. In fact, Ging and Lorikan became Albus's #9 and #10 after Rezara's death. They could have broken the box so Ferlyuts would fly to me sooner. But instead, along with Vaitkalm, they brought down Axel (I mean, to the ground...), took out Ambrose's rider (he could have played tag at the end, and I would have had to choose between the horse with a one-shot rider and the wyvern), Orvald (well, I didn't plan to go down there, but they left him for last anyway), Alaria, and Nelia. And all this just to spite the players and their desire to ally against the GM-organized coalition.

As someone who can hardly be called a strong strategist, even I am extremely surprised by the outcome. Not in terms of Stefania's victory, but in terms of depriving everyone else of their chances. In any case, I'm glad I won at something somewhere. I think that without the team, without Ples's clear leadership in the first half of the rounds and the Northerners who basically threw almost the entire player team, I probably wouldn't have won.
