In Memory of Ne-Gok-Sa

[Ketch]

So 2 years ago today I won a game with Ne-Gok-Sa alone.
(why I remember which day is because it was so close to Chrismas)

So we had a 3 way endurance match going. Last man (or Marro) standing wins.

I lost all my krav and Airborne to DW9K and Drake from the other two teams.

All I had left was Ne-Gok-Sa. I run up to Drake and try to Mind Shacke...
"Not today Jr.!" My friend taunted me knowing full well I was done for.
Drake then hits me and does 3 damage, a pretty good hit. I have 2 life left. The third guy shoots both of us with DW9Ks blast attack and whiffs.

I try again! And this time... it works.. it rolls and hits the edge of the map and 20!

I now own Drake, I quickly use drake to take out the rest of his owners army while DW9K shoots at him and the other team as well.
Soon between DW9K and Drake it is a 2 person game, but Drake does down and I am down to Ne-Gok-Sa vs. DW9K and Agent Carr.

I take 3 turns to get to DW9K and he does zero damage all the way, whiffing on most.
When I go to roll my friend says you're never going to get it, two 20s in a row what are the chances. I roll a 20!

At this point I was hootin and hollerin, my friend very unimpressed, but takes Carr, and as if to kick me in the face shoots DW9K in one shot by rolling the classic 1 Skull and DW9K rolling no defense.

Carr Vs Ne-Gok-Sa
I run up and and Carr gets a hit at range and I have 1 life left.
I engage, and at this point I know its game over because my luck has got to have run out.
Well, I roll and its another 20.
Game over, Ne-Gok-Sa takes 3 in a row.

Over the course of the next 3 games I roll 3 more mind shackles, and I have never done it again since then.

This was also the first post I made on the HQ, a report for this battle.. Sometime later mind you, but it was still fresh in my mind haha.

Awesome story!

To this day I still haven't pulled off a mindshackle... and its not for lack of trying.

Someday...

[auralerogeny]

WOW. My g/f once rolled two mindshackles against me in one game, and I thought THAT was impressive! Your story is just crazy!!! I can't believe that happened, I'd be hooting and hollering as well!

[Hendal]

Great story, I love how is was your 1st post at HQ, nice repost.
I have only mind shackled once, but have a friend who has mindshackled 2 and 3 times in numerous games, he is just lucky with them dice...I actually don't use him that much, but once in a while.

I have a good one with Ne-Gok-Sa:

Me and my friend are at the end of a battle all he has left is Krug and Thorgrim. Krug is right in front of Thorgrim so he now has 4 defense. I take Ne-Gok-Sa up to Krug and I Mindshackle him; his Thorgrim has no way of running now(he was at the edge of the board). Next round I used Krug to get rid of Thorgrim.

I would have won even if I didn't Mindshackle, but the look on my friends face was priceless.

here would be a fun topic, will kee mo shi replace ne gok sa in ur opinion. i think she makes him obsolete. i know that's not exactly a fair comparison due to extreme difference in points. but considering she can do it easier, and that she can attack better and has toxic skin. i dunno. ne gok sa is much cheaper which is nice, and can bond with legionaires. i like kee mo shi better, but i guess ne gok sa will still be a great filler if need be

We were using NGS in a dungeon game and it happened to be the first time he was ever used our group. His first activation of the game...BAM...he mindshackled a character. We laughed for about 5 minutes before continuing the game. Even the guy who lost the character enjoyed the moment.

Newb.

sorta like one i did.

Once i was playing with my friend Jon. He had his DW9K practically in my base with height advantage. In comes Charos.

Charos is a bigger threat at this point, for he is full health. Ne-gok-sa approaches him from behind, rolls an 18 or so (not a 20). Next turn, i try again. Still fail. So, my third turn, i decide that mindshackling a dragon from it's a** isn't going to work, so i move around to his head and nail the 20. Full Health charos is mine now.

NGS then moves in, all excited he has his mind-control glands now and tries to take on DW9K. Nails it.

For the record, i have shackled Charos and DW9K.

Now, i'm about as proud as i can be of NGS and decide he has done his job and send him in to die. I decide Izumi Samurai deserve to kill me, but why not? I'll try my luck again. Theres 2 figs left in his squad of Izumi, which i get a 20 on.


In a matter of 5 minutes (probably less) i took his Charos, DW9K and 2 Izumi Samurai, all why the 3rd opponent just kinda watched in amazement.

Great stuff. I think I've only gotten Mindshackle to work once, but it was at the exact moment I needed it.

I was playing a 3-player CTF game, 300pts, and I took only Charos and Ne-Gok-Sa, to give myself a challenge. Since the flag was atop the castle and flying up to it would be cheating, only NGS had a chance of grabbing it for me.

One of my opponents was using the AE, who dropped the first turn of the previous game and decimated my army before they even got to move (except for MY AE, who never landed that game).

I first sent out Charos to wreak havoc. And he did. Both opponents were bent on taking him down and managed to get 7 wounds on him. But Charos fought valiantly (pun intended) and killed all of one player's team, leaving him with only his AE. Meanwhile, NGS snuck up a ladder to the flag...

By this time, both other players realized they had to do something about NGS, but only one of them had anyone left on the field. So he charges a few guys after him. NGS breaks away and leaps from the castle, taking a few wounds. By this time he is TWO spaces away from victory.

At the start of the next round, the AE drop right in front of NGS. At the last possible moment, they come in, possibly to turn the game completely around. Charos is too far away to be of any use, so NGS has to go it alone.

We roll for initiative and I win it. Ne-Gok-Sa steps up to the AE standing on the winning space to clear him out of the way...but wait! First he gets a Mindshackle roll...and gets a 20!!!!! Now not only have the AE turned the game around, they've assured my victory!

On the next round, the AE politely move out of the way and Ne-Gok-Sa replaces the flag for the win!

When I Mindshackled them, I stood up for the whole room to hear (we were playing at a local hobby shop): "That is the only time you are ever going to see the work!"

We had a good laugh about it, but I don't think my friend was too happy.
