Well, I suppose I can this here as it was in the game that caused this post, or I could start a new post called "I'm the stupidest dumbass"
Anyhooo, there we were, battling face to face.
My 3 ents, Gandalf and Frodo without his little
hobbit sword, twilight out the wazoo, when triple C throws down another
Weapons of Isengard to add to the full one he already has out.
The sweat is starting to run down my face as I know that a bunch of minions are coming my way.
The first minion comes out, slap on the table and it's an archer, then another, and another, and another, and then to my horror, a fifth archer comes raining down on me.
Everyone needs to skirmish.
A quick calculation and I figure that 9 archery wounds are coming my way - 5 archers and 2
Weapons of Isengard.
Frodo becomes exhausted, plus he has to face a minion stronger than him.
With trepidation, I do all the ent battles first, one of my ent dies a horrible death, then a foul and evil uruk archer dies, crushed by foot stomping of another ent (or is it root stomping).
Then Gandalf skirmished and survived.
The moment had arrived and I have nothing to help the exhausted Frodo and I'm convinced that triple C has somthing to boost his 6 strength archer to 8 and the overwhelm.
I pass.
I wait in fear.
He passes.
I then say "Frodo takes a wound, I lose."
After a few moments the cornster says "Why don't you put on the ring."
With a double hand slap to the head, I exclaim rather loudly "THE RING!!! He puts on the ring."
And I placed a burden with a quickly reddening face and survived.
Now some of you may be wondering, what was cccorniv thinking, giving me a lifeline like that. Well, he had won the past 7 or 8 games we'd played, and he wouldn't want to win that way. We help each other out if we miss something that could help.
So there it is - my funniest and stupidest mistake.
I hope you enjoyed it
