STAGE THREE
So we had a spot of bot trouble, still struggling to see what it was, anyways time for Stage 3 for those who are ready, remember even if you haven't done well so far, the game can turn around quickly so hang in there :)
You begin the long walk through the forest, but a few hours in decide to stop for a quick rest.
Just as your prepared to move on, @doughtaker stumbles, leans on a young tree and breaks it. From the dense forest a lone woodsman appears - he must have been watching you for a while.
"These are my woods, I was going to let you leave in peace!...now your leaving in pieces" he grunts.
Where are these goons coming from?
He has an attack power of 4 (You must score a hit of 4 or more to win this Stage).
Special field info for this Stage (check for your class): He seems strong, but really he isn't - they just grow them big around here. However, the woods are dense and the trees make for good defense against magic attacks, making him very resistant to magic.
Warrior: Player has no change
Wizard: Player to remove 2 points from your hit point score
Archer: Player has no change
Quick Summary of attack commands per class are:
Archer attack:
- Quick attack, likely to hit: !onearrow
- Difficult attack, may not hit, but hits for allot: !manyarrows
Wizard attack:
- Quick attack, likely to hit: !mysticzap
- Difficult attack, may not hit, but hits for allot: !mysticblast
Warrior attack:
- Quick attack, likely to hit: !warriorstab

If gobbo appears you get one shot to defeat him (must use Difficult attack), failure means loss of a life point. If you do win you may pick his pocket as well before immediately resuming your attack on the enemy... as gobbo has run away, the little Git!
NOTE: The attack will only be activated if you type the command in on it's own in a reply.
OTHER COMMANDS
!l3 - I have 3 lives
!l2 - I have 2 lives
!l1 - I have 1 life left
!ibtluckydip - I want to summon my permanent level0 item please (must transfer steem)
!openpockets - Steal from the foe, could be good or bad, the item counts only for the stage you snagged it.
!special - Use the special attack available at level 1 (needs a trophy)
I know it sounds like allot of work and even a bit complicated - But it's actually heaps of fun, try to remember this is a work in progress and you are supporting the work by playing and providing vital on the field testing :)
HAve a great time!

Oh my!
BuRgUr MeCh detects a salty woodsman. Beep boop
So he broke a branch..... Don't get your sticks in a bundle!!
There is only one wood that counts and that is Mesquite!
Prepare to be slow smoked woodsman!!
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
!openpockets
Blimey! Obtained item 4: Bomb! -3 to players hit!
My dry rub is the bomb!
!warriorslash
Tim Ross the Paint Wizard Boss feels empathetic compassion for this lone woodsman. The pain and suffering of that broken tree is almost more than Ross The Boss can bear! Trying to convey the Joy of Painting as a way of coping with stress management Tim Ross shares some secrets of nature discoverd along the way with the woodsman to console him about his precious little tree friend! Assurances are made that this little tree can still grow and be happy!!!

!ibtluckydip
Tim Ross holds item 4: Grub! +2 to players hit!
Ross the Boss breaks bread (well all natural "brownies" to be exact) whilst sharing more secrets with the woodsman! Hopefully, this will assuage the man and defuse the situation.
Seeing that there is no reasoning with this violent character... It's time to figure some things out.
The decision has been made!
It's time to Just Beat the Devil out of 'Em!
"Boss?" Doomguy inquired.
"Trophy?" Doughtaker responded, referring to the cue stick that Doomguy recovered from the tavern.
"Right." Doomguy handed the cue stick over to Doughtaker to take back to headquarters. "Orders?"
"Gib that giant Gobbo wannabe yonder," Doughtaker said, nodding his head in the direction of the woodsman. "I guess a piece of this tree will become another trophy..."
"Gob-what...?!" the woodsman began to shout, before a charging noise drowned his voice out as Doomguy walked right up to him.
sweet as pic!
LOL, thanks. Just a crude Photoshop effort on my part.
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
!onearrow
You quickly 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
"We're done here," Doughtaker said. He and Doomguy do a fist bump and then head off in separate directions.
4 + 4 (lucky item) = 8 (PASS)
Stage 3 result validated. 3 life points banked (current total 9), 3 flawless victories. Level 1 achieved.
!upgrade1
Easy win - nice show!
!ibtluckydip
Please transfer at least 0.010 Steem or equal SBD to @wizardzap with exact spelling memo: for ibt6
An arena announcer voice calls out to @wizardzap: "U FAIL IT"
Doomguy still has his Adv. Helm of the Gobbo that gives him +4 to all his combat rolls in this tournament.
Ouch!!..try again! was because I had to reboot bot and not currently writing to file.
!ibtluckydip
Doomguy holds item 6: Adv. Helm of The Gobbo! +4 to players hit!
Dareth scrambles up a tree and while the woodsman isn't looking he lets fly.
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
!onearrow
You quickly draw an arrow and shoot:
the string breaks (oops!) as the arrow is released it bounces off a nearby rock harmlessly. Gobbo happened to be walking by at the time and wets himself in laughter, seeing your low skill he attacks. @gobbo
Gobbo makes his best attack.
He laughs like a jerk.
The sneaky git hits for a 2.
!manyarrows
Angel Food laughs at his clumsy comrade and covers his mouth when he sees the fuzzy chested woodsman appear. Angel Food was aware of the stalker, but wasn’t expecting to see his tiny head. A little fireball would match perfectly...
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
!ibtluckydip
Angel Food holds item 4: Grub! +2 to players hit!
Angel Food is a little concerned and looks to the sky occasionally. If a dragon flies by and loses a snot rocket he’s probably going to run away.
Less 2 points to Angel Food’s attacks because of the stage modifier.
Distracted again, he attacks...
!mysticblast
Birdie mourns for the tree and empathises with the woodsman. She checks the tree to see if it can yet be saved, but the damage is too great. This enrages the woodsman further. She tries to console him and reason with him.
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
There is no reasoning with him or consoling him. His rage has taken over. While he is distracted I'll prepare my arrows. He is so large I think one arrow will just anger him.
!manyarrows
OMG! What are you doing? You load your bow ready for a devistating magical shot, but must have got your spells mixed up, instead of enchanting your arrow you turn yourself into a...turd! - you lose a life
Magical? I didn't know I had magic.
!l2
You still have 2 life points:
Errgh! I stink! Try again.
!l3
You have all 3 life points:
!openpockets
Oops! Obtained item 12: Key! +2 points to enemy hit!
Soo many keys from these enemies! I can open so many chests ( . Y . )
!mysticblast
You summon up your inner energy and produce a lightening:
You barely maintain control of the powerful blast, but clip the enemy for a large hit of 8 points. Nice!
This dorky muscle dude is marked for extreme termination!
..but first
!openpockets
Nice luck! Obtained item 11: Power Charm of the Crypto! -2 to players hit!
Oh crapz this is not good..I mean, die earthling! die!!

Kentaur holds item 4: Grub! +2 to players hit!
Kentaur takes careful aim at this person making idle threats while she chews her gum.... and then lets loose!
!onearrow
Head shot! Your shot is so perfect, if anyone saw theyd know you are one bad dawg when equipped with a bow, you pierce the enemy for a hit of 6 points!
Look at this neanderthal. Good thing I'm proficient with magic, if i had to get any closer to fight you the smell alone might kill me. Let me bath you with this fireball.
!l3
You have all 3 life points:

You attempt to perform a quick fireball attack:
seems you slipped on a banana, not enough time at Wizard School? Gobbo happened to be walking by at the time and knows youre an easy target, so he attacks..@gobbo
Gobbo makes his best attack.
He laughs like a jerk.
The sneaky git hits for a 6.
Ugh my only weakness, phallic looking fruits..

Woodsmen need to stick to chopping wood and beating up wolves dressed into grandmothers clothing. Leave the jokes and puns for the pros...

the bow made a strange sound as the arrow launches, as if the string nearly broke, but you clip the foe for a hit of 2 points!

You tune in deeply to your inner chackras and summon a lightening attack
The lightening is out of control and hits some innocient civillians that happen to be walking by. A mob of peasants gathers around and shoves that naughty wand up your A..And you are a dead magician now. You loose a life, Harry.

!warriorslash
You draw your sword and prepare to do a magical overhead swing
You mess up the booster spell and zap yourself - You loose a life
Noooooooooooooo, what is this madness?

Back and ready for my next battle

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.

You still have 2 life points:

What a show off you are!! Your hands move swiftly, your stance is impeccable, you are cooler than a bucket of ice on a sunny afternoon. An all powerful magic arrow of sparks hits home and your foe crumbles at the mighty 12 point hit you just dealed.
Serra and Bear wander through the forest. Serra woke up in the inn and seems to be missing a large chunk of time in her memory. She has no recollection of the repeated attacks of Gobbo but she is still accompanied by Bear and he claims that she summoned him to help rid herself of that sneaky Gobbo. Perhaps Serra's summon spell went awry and somehow altered time as well as space?
All of a sudden they are confronted by an irate woodsman who looks suspiciously like Hairy Bear. In fact he looks exactly like Bear and both of them are somehow compelled to attack each other and charge.
!ibtluckydip
You have item 1: Ingot! +1 to players hit!
!warriorstab
You draw and jab with your sword:
You hit like a small child and the attack is easiely reflected. You fool! Underestimating your foe is no way to victory! The enemy bursts out laughing. Gobbo observed the scene unfold, well hiden in a nearby bush. He rushes over to finish you off @gobbo
Gobbo makes his best attack.
He laughs like a jerk.
The sneaky git hits for a 2.
Now not only are two Bear's fighting each other but there is also Gobbo in the mix. What the hell is going on here!
IN GAME UPDATE - How exciting!! what a great IBT so far...(well I reacon)
I really hope people are having fun? - it can get a bit dishearting if the attack/drop doesn't go your way, but it also adds a cool element of excitement :). I've been surprised with the pickpocket, there has been allot of negative drops this IBT, which is weird as odds haven't been changed.
Anyways, due to the high standard of players replies and @wizardzap falling asleep on the job im offering a free trophy-token to all players. If you want it please reply here within 7 days with your bitshares account. Alternatively you may when reaching level1 simply visit the item shop and grab your level 1 item. The choice is yours :)
Not sure what a trophy token is, but sure I'll have one! Can't collect enough tokens, maybe this will be the next Bitcoin!
bts: bengy-steemit
Done :)
Ill gladly take a lvl1 item from the shop^^ idk hiw id get it tho..
Basically once you have won 3 stages on first attack, type the command !upgrade1 on any post. Then visit the item shop and just leave a reply saying - im now like level1 and grabbing the Book of lost spell, so that i may now run the !special attack. Then you can start using that. be warned though, sometimes it backfires..so best to use when you need a powerful attack.
If I'm correct in assuming that this offer is separate and in addition to individual TROPHY awards already handed out during this tournament, then I'll take you up on the offer.
