First boss battle is underway, Link vs Vigo. Veggie Legs & Magic from 1FF are involved on opposing sides!

Is it possible to get advance warning on things like fastest finger first stuff? I don't use Mafia Universe so I'm not on there just browsing like I am on here so it's much harder to see new posts soon after they're posted.

I know it's my own fault but I'm not just gonna sit on a forum I don't use and F5 all day waiting for something new

Yes, I will try whenever possible to give advance warnings. With last night's challenge I didn't expect anyone to get them quickly, so that's why I put it up without warning.

I’ve decided to move this back over to 1FF. Anyone who would have been interested had it been on here from the start I would love for you to join in now. The game is still in its very early stages so it would be easy to get involved – I could assign people to existing teams at random.

MagpieBee HarvSFC Techno Natch Cas SUTSS

Yes, I’ve come crawling back, grovel grovel, prodigal son etc.

I will add the full details of the game to OP when I'm home later.

 

[hodge]

Yeah was going to say similar tbh, would be better to make sure teams are balanced first before upping teams to 3 members surely? Better than leaving someone on their own.

 

[SUTSS]

I didn't sign up as I'm quite busy atm and didn't think I'd check another forum regularly. If it's on here I can probably get involved as I'll see the updates.

What?

What are the chances of npstr and panther joining over here? Magic and Veggie may need a bit more help than those two c***.

Yeah I agree. So I'll make it random just between Team Howard and Team Link in terms of MB and SUTSS.

MagpieBee will be on...Team Link!

SUTSS will be on Team Howard!

If we had enough interest from people, would you be giving Lara Croft a revive from where they were?

This is later at 8 pm but now also involves MagpieBee as well.

Possibly, but as you say there's only enough for 2 players per team right now.

I hope I can BANK on you to LEND me a hand in this mate.

Brief rules:

I have now added more detailed rules to the OP, but here is the concise version:

How to win – Get to the exit with at least 1 exit key and at least 3 treasures.

How to get keys and treasures – The following 12 locations on the board above are home to some kind of monster. Defeat this boss to win the treasure located there.

The Temple of Martyrs
The Mud Palace
The Shadowed Graveyard
The Abandoned Museum
The Hall of Mirrors
The Brutal Labyrinth
The Bleeding Cave
The Well of Doom
The Menacing Mansion
The Giant Tree
The Underwater Castle
The Screaming Tower

There are 12 prizes which have been distributed randomly, 1 to each of the above locations. The 12 treasures consist of 2 Exit Keys, 9 treasures, 1 Cobra.


The Cobra is the booby prize. If you obtain this, you will have to waste time dropping it off at the Snake Pit before you can escape from the Haunted Woods.

Starting stats and equipment.

6 Boss Battles are dice battles. All characters start with 10BR [battle rating]. This means when they face a boss they will score randomly from 1-10. If this is higher than the bosses’ BR score they defeat the boss.


Each character also starts with 1 of each of the following equipment:

axe
fire
food
grappling hook
net
rope
shield
sword

Each boss is vulnerable to at least one type of equipment and receives minus 2BR per item if team decides to use said item against it. If a team decides to use equipment against a boss, they will be told if it was a boss weakness after the fight is over in the PM.

Moving around the board.

Each character starts with a movement dice numbered 1-6. At the start of each turn I will post what everyone has rolled. There will be a deadline by which time you have to PM me which space you want to move to.

Boss fights and other events

During the second phase of the turn, if any characters have a boss battle to fight or are involved in some other event, these happen. Lose a boss fight and you are sent to that location’s dungeon. Dungeon’s require specific dice rolls to escape without penalty.

Stealing Treasures

If you land on the same space as another player you have a 1 in 4 chance of stealing one of their treasures (selected at random, includes Exit Keys & Cobra). Boss/event area & dungeon locations are not included in this.

However, once a treasure has been stolen from its original owner it becomes much easier to steal.

Elimination

Once all 12 bosses have been defeated, any team(s) that failed to defeat at least 1 boss will be eliminated!

The game so far:

Turn 1: Link faced Vigo at the Hall of Mirrors. It was a tie so Link did not get the treasure, nor was trapped in the dungeon.

Locke encountered the Merchant and bought some stuff.

Everyone else just moved.

Turn 2: Link found his way back to face Vigo again (8 pm tonight).

Indiana Jones has encountered the Merchant and might buy some stuff.

Harry Potter picked up a bicycle from the Creepy Cabin so can now roll with a 1-8 movement dice.

Lara Croft was killed off due to inactivity.

CROSSWORD QUIZ

Please bear in mind that this is just for teams Link, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter.

There are 7 questions, the answers to which are all contained within a wordsearch. I will post the wordsearch and all 7 questions at the same time. You can make one guess at each of the 7 questions each time you buzz in, however once you buzz in you can’t buzz in again as an individual for FIVE minutes!

To answer correctly you need to post 3 things: the answer, it’s direction - whether it lies in a row or column and either the number of the column (if it is down) or the number of the row (if it is across).

Eg. for the above wordsearch correct answers would be “Word row 2”
“search row 3”

Just to be clear and avoid faaaarrrces – if you put the column number for a horizontal answer this will be incorrect (unless the answer happens to also be in the same numbered row). Also – you MUST put the question number that corresponds to your answer. Even if it is obvious what question you answering if you don’t put the question number you won’t get the point.


One more thing – question 6 is a bonus question and if Link gets that correct they win £70 regardless of the overall result.

Good luck Link & Vigo - questions and grid posted in 5 mins!
