INTERACTIVE BATTLE TOURNAMENT#5 - BOSS ROUND

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

BOSS ROUND

You have made it to the heart of the castle and finally after all this - it's time to face the boss man! 

An Old Wizard of great power stands before you, but he does not immediately attack, he seems to be doing something sneaky......


  

.....he is summoning a very powerful spell - oh crap!

He has cast RAGE! on you all. With this spell active you are forced to attack him TWICE with all your strength.

Fortunately he didn't realise how powerful your combined attack powers are - and he will die through your attacks, with only the top 3 hitting players stealing all his Steem on the way out the door.

Special rules for the boss round.

  • Your level items work here - if your level0-1 don't forget to grab an item if you still need one:)
  • Any type of attack can used
  • A single Pickpocket is allowed
  • There is no special field effect
  • You may attack the boss twice - only your hardest hit counts! remember you competing to hit harder then all other players, only the top 3 hitting players share in the boss prize pool.Remember your banked life points from the Stages will be added to your best hit for the final best hit score.
  • Gobbo item is allowed should he appear during your attack, normal rules apply. If he kills you though that's one attack wasted.

May the bestestest HERO win - Have fun!!

Special thanks to @spaceginger   for his artistic skills with the Interactive Battle Tournament Image above, to @cryptonik who provided the original foundational bot code (hope he rejoins us soon) and @steemseph for his dividers. Boss round and optional round key Steem sponsors are @mattclarke, @jackmiller and @lordnigel Extra Special thanks to @doughtaker our field judge and other contributors and players that upvote and participate to help to make this a fun community event. Other images were captured from the abandonware game dragonwars. Bot images  are original and created by LordRoach and are used with full permission  . 

SPECIAL NOTE: 100% of Steem raised from this post will go into IBT prize pool. Transparency note, The Non Stage level Prize pool per IBT will be capped at 30 Steem. This is because sponsors will not always be guaranteed, 30 Steem is always greater then direct prize pool donations combined and 30 Steem is allot of Steem!. I would like to use the  excess Non Stage level Prize pool per IBT to powerup the IBT bot @wizardzap (unless any objection? if so..just PM me or drop a reply here within 3 days)

Judge Killary Dredd.jpg

Judge Killary Dredd snaps into a Slim~Jim (aged republican jerkey for +2 to hit) pondering 'er options at this stage in the game.

Enraged by the spell cast against her... the Judge begins to see nothing but RED! That works for Killary... because that's her color! Feeling bold from the Jerkey buzz and the Rage spell.... Dredd figures out the exact charges against this "Old Wizard!"

Old Wizard has been charged with operating an international smuggling ring as well as human and contraband trafficking. His magic has not been found to be registered or declared and therefore cannot be taxed appropriately, which means he is also charged with collusion and tax-evasion. No telling what other criminal activities this Scum Bag is guilty of perpetrating?!!!!

Domestically, this Old Wizard has also been found to be behind on child support for about 5 dozen kids over his many years as well! This dereliction of duty has caused a great many of woes. The payment sum is still retroactive and before being found GUILTY & Sentenced to Immediate DEATH...
Judge Killary Dredd intends on Taxing that ASS proper first!

This is classic! You get my Players Player Award for sure :)

Congrats! you have scored a trophy token for excessive tax avoidance detection. hehe please reply here with your bitshares account name, within 7 days to receive.

You load your bow with 3 arrows and shoot

Pathetic! The string breaks and you trip over, and land on your own arrow like a t0tal n00b - you lose a life


Looks like we will have to give this another go!

And just like that... not only was Killary's campaign over but archery was no longer an enjoyable hobby for the Judge either. Justice would be better served by being dished out with a more trustworthy tool than this forsaken bow!

Killary's self-esteem drops even further after this embarrassment of a campaign.....

Thanks @lordnigel for everything you do to make this happen! I had so much fun participating. I can only imagine the work everyone has put in to make this all possible. I could see this kind of gameplay becoming the next wave of gaming. Y'all may be ahead of the curve as far as blockchain games goes. With more time, investment, and development... I could see a whole industry built around these kinds of games. I am sure I am not the first here to see the potential. Anyways... thanks for all y'all do and I am grateful to @artlover for turning me on to this! Let us know if y'all ever need any help with art! Sharing is caring =)
Steem On My Friend!

No worries - hey I was thinking I could really use some easy to insert Quick command image that matches in well with the game, if your keen for the challenge? hehe once I figure out what they will be for the next iteration that is.

Look out for the feedback and improvement posts to come - I'll yell out for help at that point :)

Cheers for your comments and joining in - really made for a great IBT!

Cyborg Lordnigel powers up his Steem array for his ultimate attack aganst the boss.

Lifepoints = doesn't matter, just make two attacks.
Upgrade in progress = negative
Level1 item applied = success! +2 to players hit sticks.

Lets make an all out attack keeping in mind lordnigel can't win a prize and im just doing this for fun

...but first, what that under his hat?

!openpockets

Holy cow! You cannot die this round! Obtained item 1: Book of Death

Death.jpg

Damn item is useless here - Stuck with it I guess...óh well gold leader I'm making my first attack run!

lordnigel ATTACK ONE

!warriorslash

You draw your sword and perform a quick swing...
slash
LOL, you missed! The enemy is ready to counter and cleans off your head like a warm slice of butter. You lose a life, you fool. I think you need a little more practice stable boy!

Ooops pressed wrong button, re-calibrating Steem injectors....
lordnigel ATTACK TWO

After waiting in the shadows to size up his rivals Dareth finally steps forward to meet his final foe.

!openpockets

Blimey! Obtained item 4: Bomb! -3 points to enemy hit!

Bomb

!manyarrows

You load your bow with 3 arrows and shoot
arrows
Nice! At least 2 of them fly in the right direction and deal some damage, its a hit of 8 points!

!manyarrows


arrows
### What a show off you are!! Your hands move swiftly, your stance is impeccable, you are cooler than a bucket of ice on a sunny afternoon. An all powerful arrow hits home and your foe crumbles at the mighty 12 point hit you just dealed.

Dareth slinks off into the shadows again, unsure if he has been triumphant. He waits and ponders his recent fortunes.

"Well played" he mutters to no-one in particular.

Damn that item is pretty useless this round..

Hmn thoughts @doughtaker, are these intended positive weapons equivalent to a +3 to player hit? or is it just useless for this round?..Gut is telling me like the book of the dead it just means 0 benefit in this round? thoughts?

It's useless for this round. This situation has come up before in previous IBTs, and the rule has always been that if the item affects the enemy but the enemy is not rolling, then the item doesn't do anything for that stage and is useless.

Prior to delivering her rage against the wizard, Meteora casts a spell causing a forcefield to appear, that encloses the wizard and herself while keeping everyone else out. (It looks like she's up to something big...)

Holograms then begin to materialize within the forcefield, closer to the wizard than Meteora. As the holograms take form, they appear to be facing the wizard and it turns out that...

Oh @#$%! You know what could possibly be worse than having to face off against the Soultaker, Chuck Norris, and Chick Norris all at once? Try facing off against holographic versions of all three, that can't even be dealt with by ordinary means. So that explains the forcefield, but does Meteora even understand the amount of power she is trying to contain here? This could end very badly for someone, or maybe even the entire landscape...

You use your inner energy to prepare for a killer blow:

You use your inner energy to prepare for a killer blow:

0 (roll) + 14 (life points banked) + 2 (Level 1 item) = 16

The combined power of the holograms was too much for the forcefield to contain. The forcefield shatters, causing the holograms to shatter as well, but all that uncontrolled power and energy spread out in an arc away from Meteora, wiping out almost the entire landscape as far as the eye could see. The only thing not destroyed: the wizard, who somehow withstood all that and was still standing.

Meteora and the wizard stare at each other, both in shock (albeit in different ways) at what had just happened.

Oops... Meteora didn't get the job done.

Oh man...also nice try. I probably need to turn up the probability

Here we go wizard!

HaHa!

Yes!...Obtained item 8: Adv. Helm of the Doge! +2 to players hit!

Doh! Lets see if these are stacking helmets...


arrows
### Odins Beard Shakens! You load a deadly arrow into that deady bow-rifle of yours, take an almost too long aim and release in a swift move. You do a large amount of damage, its a hit of 10 points. We can almost hear you mumble too easy...

By the holy light!!!

Nice hit! lucky guy....but will it be enough?

Hmmn..lets see what the second hit brings in.

The stack counts. One helmet was the Level 1 item, and the other was the Level 0 pickpocketed item.

This roll is 25 (10 + 4 from items + 11 banked hearts), but you still have one roll left. If you do take it and get a better result, the second roll will be validated. If you don't roll again by post payout or if the second roll ends up with a worse result, this roll will be the one that gets validated.

here goes! die evil wizard, diiiiieeeeeee

You summon up your inner energy and produce a powerful spell:
lightening
The blast hits true, and you do significate damage with a hit of 10! Also 10 points for Gryffindor!

10 (roll) + 11 (life points banked) + 2 (Level 1 item) = 23

Final roll validated, we'll see how this holds up.

Ugh...Obtained item 10: Gem! -3 to players hit!

Gem.jpg

Noooo, just when I was feeling lucky, that sucks

!mysticblast

You summon up your inner energy and produce a devistating spell:
lightening
What the actual flying duck? You produce a spell so powerful it turns into a dragon - You unleash it at your enemy with full force and watch as your foe gets annihilated with a 12 point hit!!! Youre Wizard, Harry...Wait no, you said you are Tom? Gasp

Angel Food recognizes the Old Wizard. "Back for a rematch?" asks Angel Food. Angel Food defeated him in IBT4 and he feel like he will again.

!ibtluckydip

Savage! Obtained item 6: Ingot! +1 to players hit!

Ingot.jpg

!magicblast

You gather your inner energy and produce a lightning bolt:
lightning
You barely maintain control of the powerful blast, but still clip the enemy for a large hit of 8 points. Nice try, maybe next time.

Angel Food hits for 8 and +1 for the item totals 9 (for attack 1)

8 (roll) + 11 (life points banked) + 1 (Level 0 item) = 20

Final roll validated, we'll see how this holds up.

!magicblast

You tune-in deeply to your inner chakras and summon a lightning bolt.
lightning
The lightning is out of control though and hits some innocent civilians who happen to be walking by. A mob of peasants gathers around and shove that naughty wand up your A..and you are a dead magician now. You lose a life, Harry.

I fucking knew that would be the last attack Angel Food gets. Wow....
The most sodimized and killed in all of IBT history probably. Most dragons conjured too though.
Funny lmao

For players who have completed the boss round, the number under the BFT column (Boss Final Total) on the far right is your official boss roll.

For all players, under the S1 through S4 and S6 columns, if the number 31 appears in the same row as your name, that indicates a stage that you passed on the first attempt -- you win a share of the STEEM prize pool for that particular stage. (S1 = stage 1, S2 = stage 2, etc.)

Raiden - "Finally, A challenge. Only one of us is gonna survive, Come on Wizard, FACE MEEE!! "

First Attempt:

!mysticblast

You summon up your inner energy and produce a lightening:
lightening
The lightening produced by your magic hands would have been great....if your enemy were an ant. The foe laughs at the pathetic spark emitted from your boney fingers and takes you down with a swift counter. You loose a life and your Wizard steet cred!

Raiden: "Gaddammit!! You are strong. This is what I call a real fight."
Second Attempt:

!mysticblast

You summon up your inner energy and produce a devistating spell:
lightening
What the actual flying duck? You produce a spell so powerful it turns into a dragon - You unleash it at your enemy with full force and watch as your foe gets annihilated with a 12 point hit!!! Youre Wizard, Harry...Wait no, you said you are Tom? Gasp

12 Rolled +2 Helmet

Score: 14

12 (roll) + 14 (life points banked) + 2 (Level 1 item) = 28

Final roll validated, we'll see how this holds up.

Ooooh, a plot and rules twist! I like it!
