Quote:“Or rather, tests of strength of arms are meaningless. Just because a man can swing a sword does not mean he can lead. So if you wish to do this, I will accept, but as the challenged, I get to choose the contests… plural. This is not something that can be decided on a one-off event.”
“Excellent! I accept your terms,” the stranger declared.
Vulkan smirked and replied, “You’re going to regret saying that.” He then raised a hand and said, “Bring forth the sculpted tables, the ivory dice, and the figurines of pewter!”
Quote:“Very well. What are the rules?” The man asked.
The smile on Vulkan’s face was nothing short of daemonic as he said, “I will tell you when you break a rule.”
The man blinked three times before he burst out furiously, “You expect me to play a game where I don’t know the rules and you are both my opponent and arbitrator of the fair play?”
“Life can be a bitch sometimes, can’t it?”

“Very good,” Vulkan conceded before rolling his reserves check. Getting a six, he nodded to one of the men watching over the model cases and said, “I will deep strike in Ga’ri.”
Vulkan watched very carefully as the model was handed to him and then as he placed it on the table in out in the open, in full view of the three hover craft the raiders used as transportation. There was only confusion as to why Vulkan was placing a model of a young girl in a strange dress in the middle of a vicious firefight. Anyone who knew Nanoha would not have responded like that.
Thirty seconds later the stranger cried out, “BULL! SHIT!”
“Hey, it’s totally legitimate according to the rules,” Vulkan replied as half the remaining raider army was packed away, including all of their vehicles.
And yes, Vulkan (Primarch of the Salamanders) did just do what it sounds like. I'm sure you can all guess the opponent.
