Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Yeah, I guess that makes sense,” Kallithyia says plotting her next move.

OOC: Does Kallithyia have any range fighters that can take the templar out or the archers? (If she does have range attackers do they have the same range of the archers or are they different?

(OOC: They all died She has three basic melee spear maidens, and that's it, and he only has those two archers, the Archon, and the Templar)[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [SBLOCK]

OOC: Okay. If he sees content to leave the archers behind and out of the fight than kalli will withdrawn her spear maidens and have them join up with Camellia. Her hopes are for a melee battle but if he willing to use them she will try to take them out with her normal spear maidens without putting Camellia in danger.

*As Kalli takes her move, Autolycus obliges by changing the archer's formation slightly, allowing him to eliminate two of the three spear maidens, though Camilla is able to escape and mop up the archers in the process, leaving two pieces for each player.*

"Hmm....interesting play. This is going to be close. It could go either way, but I think a draw is most likely now. Remember that it's a draw when we each only have one piece left, and either of us can call a draw if the other has only one piece left, so you need to keep that spear maiden alive."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I’m not sure how a game of war could go down to a draw as it should be to the death or till one surrenders,” Kallithyia admitted with a tense smile, “so how about we bet something to make it more interesting with the clause we grapple for true winner if the games comes down to a draw… best two out of three falls, deal?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Oh, no need to worry Kallithyia--the draw is called a 'Sealed Fate' because it is to the death--as a draw of that sort means both commanders perish in a one-on-one fight."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“As they should,” Kallithyia nodded firmly, “but we are simple players of a board game. How will we know who truly won if we leave it at a draw? I sill suggest grapping, two out of three pins, but what do you have in mind, Autolycus?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Grappling doesn't make any sense in conjunction with a strategy-board game--a rematch at Marticrux would be more appropriate...Besides, if you have learned how to play, then the game was a success--it doesn't matter who wins or loses. We're playing to learn not to win, right?"[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Heh. Oh yeah,” Kallithyia replied as she tried to hide her competitive streak with some embarrassment, “I guess I forgot that, Autolycus.”

* Kallithyia moved Camilla, keeping the spear maiden in reserve, but she kept enough distance that Autolycus wouldn’t be able to attack her on his next turn as she hoped to be able to pick off one of his pieces the next round. *

“Autolycus?” she asked curiously when Autolycus was about to complete the move her had contemplated, “why is it you would couple with Aspasia but be unwilling to share a bed with me?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Well, with Aspasia it was more that she offered to heal me before I knew what I was getting into...but I think the main difference is that I know that you don't want to be with me as a woman, so because of that I regard you differently, kind of like a friend...or maybe a sister is a better analogy: if my sister was a beautiful woman, I would be uncomfortable sleeping in bed with her because she was my sister, and I don't think of her that way..." Autolycus makes his move as he looks at the board, "Careful there--my Templar and Archon both have enough frontal defense that you will have to attack from the side or behind or else it won't work, even with Camilla. And the spear maiden can only take the Archon from behind."
