[Cheezeninja]

ok, here's a little scenario for you.

While preparing to storm a castle with my Jotunheim army, including Myr my pretender who is a son of Niefel with 4 astral and 4 water a pitiful pithium force attempts to break the siege.
after my pretender has buffed himself up and is about to lay down the unholy smackage with falling frost..... Canin the astral 1! theurg acolyte casts magic duel and prompty annihilates my pretender. But it gets better... i still win that fight but then the next relieving force manages to rout my giants, and since i was sieging a castle with a vastly superior force (with my pretender in there anyway) i hadn't pulled out when they cut off my retreat. Total loss of my pretender, my prophet, about 15 jotun hirdmen, and 4 endless bags of wine. Because of magic duel cast by a astral 1 theurg acolyte. I do believe pythium is going to award Canin the Royal Pythic Cross posthumously, they damn well better anyway.
