Hiya,
below are the results of the Midsummer tournament we had here in Helsinki
last Thursday.
I had a gut feeling that not that many people would attend, and it was
unfortunately true. Midsummer is one of the traditional Finnish holidays
(such as X-mas, new Year, May Day etc.) and on traditional holidays almost
everyone and their little sister will get absolutely and totally drunk. In
addition to this most people will get out to countryside either to their
summer cottage by a lake to light up a bonfire and go to sauna or go to
huge music festivals.
So I made a new cub deck to reflect this; Fianna with 5 cubs and almost all
the beer cards that can be fitted in (I think I dropped just one War
Whiskey). Unfortunately there are no bonfire or sauna cards in the game,
but I added few War Paints so that when the kids are dead drunk they can
paint their faces in the tradition of Norwegian metal bands and start
picking fights with old seniles. Unfortunately this tactic didn´t work out
and my cubbies were shown their true place in the Sept.

Highlights:
Total of 20 cubs killed by Wendigos! (I had feared that my "Finnish
Midsummer with drunken cubs"-deck might encounter the chilly norhthern
climate (in the form of Chill of the Early Frost). Unfortunately it did in
the first game. Samuli had the same problem during the 2nd game with his
"stack all the Philodox cubs you can"-deck as he wanted to have as many
Philodox Garous around to be boosted with +3 renown in voting...)
I had to use my Regis Wallace (or Wallu as he´s known amongst the local
kids as he fetches booze for them) as alpha during the 1st game and he came
close to dying as the combat deck is built for cubs, poor victims etc.
Regis already had 2 wounds because of the Chill of Early Frost and he had
to defend himself with Take the Pain (I thought he was in a world of hurt),
but the opponent merely used Fight on! Probably the toughest Fight on!
ever, eh?
Fishbone Walker seemed to get mad during the finals because his (her?) pack
hadn´t scored any renown yet. After activating War paint Fishy uses
Instintive Backlash and hopes for the best... and Wakshani plays Go for the
Throat. Smack!
And below is Tommi´s winning deck:
Speaks-of-Fire (wendigo lupus philodox)

Cards in Tommi´s Victory Pile at the end of the Finals:
-Bandit Blackmane
-Douglas MacDougal
-Douglas Steady-Hand
-Eyes-of-Crystal
-Little Hans
-Mother Blackfang
-Hogling
Unfortunately I´ve recieved conflicting information about the card that the
winner chooses. One source says that winner can choose from Victory Pile
the winner had during ANY round of the tournament and other says that from
the FINAL round.
In addition Tommi would like to get more cards listed (if any other players
would happen remember them, but they haven´t indicated whether they´d
remember any or not). When I e-mailed Tommi this morning (now it is early
evening around here) that I´d like to have a card picked from the cards
that we were able to remember or I had to randomly choose a card, I only
got the following answer (which I take as a "up yours" or "choose yourself"
as he hasn´t replied to my second, more recent, plea to pick a card):
"This little piggy wallowed in a wyrm warren
this little piggy had some fun with his brethren
this little piggy went and ate a few children
this little piggy tried to make a caern barr*splash*"
So out of these 15 cards I randomly (with a trusty D20) managed to select
HOGLING (threw a 15).
Sorry for the mess, but we didn´t have the full details for the tournament
and the card choosing had to be more hurried than the winner would´ve liked
because of other tournaments.
If Azrael folks are unhappy with these decisions feel free to decide that
our tournament didn´t qualify as a Storyline Tournament (making its results
void) or decide another card if my method wasn´t approvable.
Take care,
