STAGE TWO
... So you make it across to the main land, but quickly realise your broke and need to raise some bucks fast.
@aussieninja suggests a quick game of the Ork Assault but you need instant Steem now!. So instead he enrols you all in a one off high stakes, IBT Gladiator battle....errr thanks!
Before you know whats happening the roar of the village crowd is chanting the Gladiators name....seems the OGRE is gonna kill you all.
This guy knows a few things about fighting and this entire village has paid good money to see blood.
The Gladiator has blood lust and hits for 3 (You must score a hit of 3 or more to win this Stage).
Special field info for this Stage (check for your class): This dude doesn't wear budgey smugglers and carry a trident for nothing - he's a crazy super hero Gladiator type that can throw the trident with most excellent accuracy.
Warrior: No effect
Wizard: Player to remove 1 point from your hit point score
Archer: Player to remove 1 point from your hit point score
@doctorcrypto seems to have enraged this guy, something about flushing his ciggy. An additional -1 point for the good doctor, he wants your blood!

Heckz! Obtained item 7: Adv. Helm of The Gobbo!(IBT most powerful item ever!) +4 to players hit!
Meteora opens up her spellbook and chants. Something is being conjured up, and it is...

...a 2-ball ??!!
It looks like an ordinary 2-ball taken from a random pool table. Appropriate given that this is stage 2, one might suppose. But thanks to the Advanced Helm of the Gobbo, that 2-ball is infused with some kind of elemental magic. There could be some massive overkill here, only one way to find out...
Meteora throws the 2-ball at the gladiator.
!mysticzap
You perform a quick fireball attack:
### Your fireball seemed to work, it burns the enemy with a hit of 3 point. Its a good start. You have still much to learn, young Padawan.
It is going to take one sure fire shot. An arrow through the eye slit of his helm.. Steady...

You have all 3 life points:
!ibtluckydip
Lucky you! Obtained item 2: Dagger! +1 to players hit!
!manyarrows
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
Nervous at the prospect of being in front of such a big crowd without prior notice Killary Dredd is flooding with social anxiety as her low self-esteem begins to awaken!
But the Judge in 'er kicks in and it's time to go to work!

You draw and swing your sword:
The years of practice with a wooden knifey boi are not lost on you! Eager for your first blood you strike well and the enemy takes damage, with a hit of 4 points. Senpai, notice me!
Spike who is no stranger to bloodlust enters the arena!

The gladiator looks mad as hell. Lets see if Raiden the wizard can electrocute the soul out of him.
P.S. I have made a transfer of 0.02 steem (confused about this one. Please help me out with if we can pick the shop item after the transfer or we have to summon the bot? If we can pick I would choose the helmet with +2) for this level's shop item but Wallet is experiencing some delay so no new transfer info is gonna be there atm. Steemd has registered the transfer info. :D
Hey bro..All good, is tricky and it helps to yell out as others will work out what to do as well. In every Stage you have a chance to grab an Item. So in Stage One you grabbed one level0 using luckydip and you paid 0.01 - so all good.
In stage two you paid 0.02 then used luckydip, which means your 0.01 in the credit.
The good news is you have now won both Stages and may upgrade to Level1.For fun you can type !upgrade1 in a reply below at end of you replies if want to..so yeah, starting next Stage just pop a reminder you have taken the helmet +2. It's permanent and will stay with you for all Stages now.. Only issue is level1 items cost 0.02...so you just need to transfer another 0.01 and your all done :)
Alright bro :)) transfer has been made. Gonna try upgrade now.
!upgrade1
LEVEL ONE! Your awesome!!:

You can edit your comment if @wizardzap doesn't respond the first time around. It might also help to check out its available bandwidth at https://steemd.com/@wizardzap before issuing a command; I know there were problems earlier because @wizardzap's bandwidth was all used up.
Oh, cool thanks. Steemit threw a spaz while I was trying to do it.

Cousin Agatha sighs in frustration that she was a wizard and not a warrior with a rather large sharp blade, or she would have taken care of the budgie-smuggling problem permanently. Alternatively, and intriguingly, she had seen the Edward Scissorhands movie several times ...
But no, she is a wizard to her bones, and as such is polite in her fighting. Even if she's up against an Ogre.
hehe I can't wait to see Cousin Agatha's attack - How dare he wear budgie smugglers in front of you :)
!mysticzap
You perform a quick fireball attack:
### Your fireball looks cool, not like wow-holy-shit-amazing...but cool!. It burns the enemy with a solid hit of 4 points. You use the diminishing flame in your hands to spark up you pipe and take a long hit whilst stroking your beard.
Score! Even with a -1 I break even with the necessary 3.
Begone, offensive item of doom.
(and yes, that was the least x-rated pic I could find mwahaha)

Raktan shoots an arrow.

You draw an arrow and shoot:
it almost looked like you were a pro (are you secretly practising?), you pierce the enemy for a a hit of 4 points

Success
Ratan the Orc Archer looks down at his crossbow and smiles.
"At first, I thought the engraving and gold leaf were a little too much, but now I'm starting to like my new crossbow."

Gobbo makes his best attack.
He laughs like a jerk.

Angel Food retaliates...

You perform a quick fireball attack
Your fireball ignites and you manage to guide it to the target, the enemy puts it out, but it managed a hit of 2 points. Meh, looks like you need to get the good old spell book from the library and work on those skills.

Your down to 1 life point:
With a single life left and just one more arrow in my quiver, let's get this shit show over.
Lapichro pulls back the bow, takes aim and waits for the moment his breath calms.
A silence falls over the battlefield.
And Lapichro releases the arrow...
!onearrow
You draw an arrow and shoot:
it almost looked like you were a pro (are you secretly practising?), you pierce the enemy for a a hit of 4 points
Lapichro takes a deep breath and collects arrows from the battlefield and moves onto the next fight.
🚩 🚩 🚩 STOP! ROLLING BACK... 🚩 🚩 🚩
Please also see this post for more information.
So with all that in mind, here's your current status on this stage:
3 life points, currently fighting a Gobbo who rolled a 2. Current modifier of +1 to your rolls. You may continue on this stage by replying to this comment with the !manyarrows command.
!manyarrows
You load your bow with 3 arrows and shoot
Jeeeeeeez...two of your arrows nearly hit the target, but one of them hits a nearby rock and reflects. You shot yourself right in the eye and lose a freaking life. Its safe to say you are a blind turd :D
Another embarrassing blow to his ego.
Lapichro pulls out an arrow and stabs himself in the other eye. Deciding to sit the rest of this adventure out.
Lapichro dies.
The bards shall sing of his accomplishments all throughout the land...
!openpockets
Ugh...Obtained item 10: Gem! -3 to players hit!
Aw man... not again...
Okay... so I need a 3 to defeat this guy... and have a -3 item... so need a 6?
I currently have 3 hearts.
!warriorslash
You draw your sword and perform a powerful swing:
The sword slips out your hand hits a rock. Ha! A rookie mistake....but the battlefield does not forgive. The enemy leaps towards you with two big steps and sinks his sword into your chest. Without any mercy he watches you slowly sink to the ground as you exhale your last breath. You lose a life point.
egad!
Can this giant muscle bound freak even see out of his helmet? These villagers are going to be disappointed....
IBT#6 is running if keen? :)
Thanks for the reminder(s) looks like I missed enrollment though eh?
Can still join in even after stage one and two are up - people can enrol up until the enrolment post closes, i.e. 7 days..so a couple of days left.
Hope to see you :)
!warriorstab
You draw and swing your sword:
Wow! It almost looked like you knew what you were doing lol, suprised the enemy is damaged with a hit of 5 points. Fake it till you make it, they say.
Angel has a few tricks to deal with macho man here. She flits about out of reach like an angry wasp. When he lets his guard down she throws her shield ringing it off his helmet like a giant bell. Stunned the Ogre doesn't even see the death blow coming!
3 to win. Rolled 5.
Stage 2 result validated. 3 life points banked (current total 4), 1 flawless victory.
🚩 🚩 🚩 STAGE 2 HAS CLOSED. 🚩 🚩 🚩
Results are now final. 7 players did not resolve this stage and those 7 have scored zero for the stage. An updated status spreadsheet will be provided shortly on the boss stage.
