Reaching whatever decision he needed, Khellek shifted his first piece and the game began in earnest.While you knew the basics of the game, it became quickly clear that Khellek had long since mastered it, and as he slowly began to capture your pieces, striking from hidden moves, feints, and blocks, you knew that if you did not make a move soon, you would have no pieces left to do it with.Launching all the counterstrikes you knew, and some you hoped would work, you managed to fair slightly better as the match progressed, but it almost seemed as Khellek was building you up, allowing you to spread your forces out across the board by the sacrificing of some of his own troops. The question was why?The answer was rapidly visible when Khellek suddenly went on the offensive again and suddenly you saw his plan, understood the weakness of it, but had to accept the fact that you simply did not have enough troops left on the board to win. But you did have enough to block him if you could lay a trap of your own.Forcing your thoughts to stay locked onto that thin straw that could keep you alive, you retreated and remarshalled and as Khellek's smirk grew into a wolfish grin, you launched a reckless attack that took out the last of his attacking pieces, at the cost of your own.A stalemate.OOC Dragonchess:[sblock] Round One was all Khellek's. He rolled a 22 to Damien's 10. Round Two belonged to Damien. With a roll of 14 to 9. Round three was once again Khellek's, although in the post it could be said it belonged to Damien. Khellek rolled an 18 to Damien's 7. Round Four, the moment of truth, belonged to Damien with once again Irony Dice server loving you guys. Damien rolled a 20, and Khellek a 19. Stalemate.[/sblock]</blockquote>
