I'll put 30 on Margery -- long range is always a good thing -- and 20 on the rats killing the Green Death, if that's an appropriate circumstance to wager on.

Round 25: You might have a +5,+5 scimitar of draining, splint mail of poison resistance and powerful spells. But if it all misses, you lose. Tentacle rape commenced, the monster took no damage for the entire fight. Tentacled monstrosity wins.

Round 26: The mottled draconian got in the first shot, but stackable poison deals damage faster than sticky flames. Green draconian wins.

Round 27: Some minor summons of a manes, imp and white imp. It only fired off poison cloud twice. The Green Death took 35 turns (5 round average of 36 turns) to kill all 50 rats.

Round 28: Electric golem vs The Royal Jelly - The electric golem is a creature made up purely of electricity. It's very fast, blinks and shoots all sorts of electric spells. Possibly the most dangerous of the monsters on Zot5.

Round 29: Queen bee vs Queen ant - both are fairly tough creatures with poison attacks. Neither are immune to poison though.

Round 30: Orc band vs Deep elf band - Orc band has 1 orc warrior, 1 orc wizard, 1 orc priest and 2 orcs. Elf band has 4 deep elf fighters.

I'll put a nice, safe 10 on the Electric golem . . . unless Royal Jelly has resistance or, heaven forbid, immunity, to electricity (I honestly don't know much about the monsters other than what Pesco's been kind enough to tell us).

And to vote on Queen VS Queen I'd need to know one thing -- whose HP stat is higher. And if one or the other has at least a tad of resistance to poison (I may take some risks in my wagers, but I like to take as little of it as possible).

As for band VS band . . . Eh, Elves. Wager 10. They may be Orcs but if the spellcasters be squishy and the elves do nothing [terribly] stupid, it should all pan out.

Oh, who am I kidding, now that I've said all that it'll probably be the Orcs who win. Oh, well, sticking with my original wager just in case.

Just to make things clear, I'm bold underlining my bets. Sorry, old habits die hard.

Round 28: Electric golem vs The Royal Jelly - The electric golem is a creature made up purely of electricity. It's very fast, blinks and shoots all sorts of electric spells. Possibly the most dangerous of the monsters on Zot5.

Electric Golem v Royal Jelly
40.

Fairly confident on this match.

Round 29: Queen bee vs Queen ant - both are fairly tough creatures with poison attacks. Neither are immune to poison though.

Queen Bee v Queen Ant
20.

This one is a little iffy, on the other hand.

Round 30: Orc band vs Deep elf band - Orc band has 1 orc warrior, 1 orc wizard, 1 orc priest and 2 orcs. Elf band has 4 deep elf fighters.

Orc Band v Deep Elf Band
20.

Usually, versatility tends to have the advantage, but... lol orc spell-casters. Deep Elves splat.

Pesco · « **Reply #98 on:** July 04, 2009, 03:47:56 PM »

Round 28: The electric golem was doing well spamming lightning bolts and blinking until it decided to melee the blob. Down to heavily wounded, the jelly spawned a jelly, an azure jelly and 2 death oozes. Electric golem got insta-gibed after that. The Royal Jelly wins.

Round 29: Double poisoned on the first contact. What the queen bee has in extra maneuverability, the queen ant has in armour. The thicker skin proves to be better in this matchup. Queen ant wins.

Round 30: The orc wizard and priest draw first blood, but that's as far as the orc team gets. The elves have superior magic skills and pick off the fighters from range. The orc warrior goes down last in his futile attempt at heroics. Deep elf band wins.

Huzzah. I actually won. Once. The other one not so much. Ah, well, didn't anticipate it having a Mook Maker ability (though with anything 'King'-ly or otherwise Royal in its name that's kind of a given, isn't it?).

Royal Jelly being able to spawn nearly all kinds of other jellies kinda is the reason why it is so strong. In theory, the Electric Golem should have won due to the fact electric reams the shit out of everything, but then it went and melee'd the Royal Jelly instead of finishing it off =_=

(Xom will just be a computer player that bets a third of his gold on each round, and his guesses will be randomly generated via 1d2 with a RNG, so can you do better than Xom?)

Round: 31
Hobgoblin VS Kobold
Note: The Hobgoblin has the highest amount of player kills on Crawl Online, at least compared to other monsters (they got nuthin' on falling into lava deaths). That being said, he's beefy and strong and is the bane of all level 1 wizards. Kobolds are weaker but often generated with long range attack means including darts, needles, and even a crossbow, though that's rarely, and even then, the crossbow uses darts. They typically also wield a club, but aren't nearly as good at it as the hobgoblin. Kobold are the bane of all level 1 assassins.

Round 32:
Cerebov VS Antaeus
Note: Antaeus, as we've seen, is capable of killing Royal Jelly with brute force. Cerebov is the other fiery ruler of hell. Except, he's more like the king of the king as this guy lives in the capital of hell, Pandemonium. He has a strong fire spell (FIRE STORM) as well as the ability to summon major demons and a good share of brute force to help him along too. FIRE VS ICE

Round 33:
3 Orc Warlord Bands VS 3 Vampire Knights
Note: Orc Warlords are DANGEROUS, they take a beating and dish out loads of damage, and their groups that they come with can number from eight to twenty, and when you have three of them... meantime, the vampire knight is the super version of the vampire with all of the dodging abilities and spammal power plus the ability to wield weapons, more HP, and slightly faster movement.

48 hours, I will post the results.

So long as you don't use the arena feature, you can bet. So go ahead, just don't start using the arena for my rounds.

EDIT: I'm now Xom's Teddy Bear in my latest Crawl game. So help me.

I posted that round. >_O Me, Ramus. And kobolds have far better hearing than hobgoblins and the necessary needles or darts to take out assassins from the distance forcing assassins to use their precious needles. They are the bane of assassins, at least for me.

Hobgoblin v Kobold
20.

Hobgoblins are tanky enough to withstand Kobold range (pfft) and... Skulk to them and then splat the Kobold senseless.

Round 32:

Note: Antaeus, as we've seen, is capable of killing Royal Jelly with brute force. Cerebov is the other fiery ruler of hell.

Cerebov splats.

3 Orc Warlord Bands v 3 Vampire Knights
10.

Vampire Knights are pretty evasive but if you have three Orc Warlord Bands that's a bit too much, 2 bands the Knights could handle but 3? :V

Oops. what happened to your avatar??

and anyways, Kobolds have better hearing but their darts are meh.. and you can take them out when you get close anyway... Hobgoblins are not funny when with one hit they can splat you dangerusly close to death

Actually it's really tight. I just ran the arena myself and there is absolutely no guarantee of how any of these 3 matches are going to end.

I'm most likely going to lose money.
