Book 2 – Text Updates 019

[balder]

New One is up.

[Ansan Gotti]

Well done, Ansom. Well done. I hope it will actually matter in the end, and that he isn't casually wiped off the map by the RCC2 forces.

[koga305]

Awesome! The picture of Ansom mounted on the Spidew is really good, and it's good to see that he's really a good tactical mind. I wonder what will happen?

[Firkraag]

I saw the picture of determined Ansom on the Spidew with the soundtrack of Beowulf playing on winamp... Epic... I hope the uncroaked give the coalition a run for their money.

[KiltedNinja]

...wow...

emotion much? ^_^

[ftl]

Well done Ansom indeed. He's no Parson, but he's no idiot either and is a pretty good commander in his own right.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable showdown between Ansom and Jillian. With this setup, there's no way the fight can end without it.

[Alexei P]

So I assume next page is where it begins? After seeing Sammy's forces, Ansom's group appears quite outmatched.

It warms my heart to finally see a thread where fans cheer for Ansom.

[Welf von Ehrwald]

I had the soundtrack of "the Green Mile" playing. I guess that's why I see a certain melancholy in the picture.

by the way, am I the only one who thinks Xin likes to draw Ansom? I actually prefer her version to Jamie's now.

(And we finally got the insight into Ansom's thoughts we expected for so long)

[normalphil]

I love Ansom. He's basically my game persona.

[Danetrix]

Nice update.

Good to see his self-proclaimed "one of the finest tactical minds" is backed up by firsthand thinking instead of just being noted by another character.

(Though I still hope he turns to dust if Jillian succeeds in turning him)

Yes, I thought that as well.

That would be just mean.

[cloudbreaker]

Glad to see the spidews still in use! Also, the forest capable Ford ranger was a nice touch. It makes me wonder if he was one of the woodsey elves.

I was going to say the same thing. Ansom lookin' pretty bad-ass on that spidew. Good job Xin!

[Ehbobo]

it makes me sad inside, but I don't think Ansom has a chance. He's got one hex of units facing down 6 hexes of Haggar, then Jetstone and Faq. It looks as if the RCC must have 7 times the forces.

Hasn't 300 taught you anything?

6 hexes of mostly rank and file infantry, Vs. Ansom's and Wanda's (Reduced Because out of Hex) Bonus who can't all attack across the bridge at once

What I'm expecting - One side or the other will make this a Dance Fight, Probably Haggar playing Van Halen. Not Sure If Rocky Horror 'Time Warp' is a good Idea at this kind seeing as we've just had one. (Just realized that! the turn end spell was a Time Warp )
I actually expect Ansom to Beat Sammy in a Dance Fight! even on even ground.

Nobody's Said How much they like the Twolls, so I love the Twolls, even if they are so Dang ugly

[Alexei P]

300 didn't have game rules. Ansom's group does appear to be outnumbered doesn't it?

But that's additive.

[ftl]

Here's a possible prediction.

Sammy fights Ansom. Sammy gets beat, both sides take heavy casualties. Tremennis says "OK, this army isn't a threat to us. I'm going to take no risks - don't want a lucky arrow croaking a caster. I'm retreating to Spacerock. Jillian, you can take it from here, your forces alone are sufficient for mop-up."

Jillian goes in, decides to Parley, because she wants to turn Ansom. We the audience go "haven't we just seen that with Wanda/Jill???"

Then something happens, but I have no idea what; I'm going to guess nothing to do with caster links this time, though.

[Toolbreaker]

I have given Ansom far to little credit for far too long. I was really happy to see him in this text update. I hope he proves his reputation as Erfworlds best warlord (sans Parson of course) and completely curbstomps Sammy.

Then I hope he get's captured and turned by Jillian... but don't actually expect that to happen.

[gazes_also]

Jillian really messes with her exes heads.
If Ansom gets distracted from directing the battle to take a chance at 'saving' Jillian for redemption as a decrypt things could go bad very quickly.

Great image - Ansom's chin appears to get bigger the more grimly determined he is.
