Would definitely show up with my strong and well trained cock if it wouldn't be 4am my time! Perhaps Le Coq can attend next time! May the best cock win!
Mine will stand tall and firm, all others will fall limp and lifeless after a long fast paced beating!!
Since there are no chigons allowed I will find a wild cluck in the forest near Paws. He shall be named spirigon, the drago-chicken of spiritwood! Fear me.
I was just thinking... If my cluck, out-clucks another's cluck, can I dry loot the losing chicken's corpse?
How does this work exactly? I've tamed two chickens and then had them fight each other and they have been fighting for two days now and neither has done a single point of damage to the other one. How will they be able to kill another chicken in the event?
You know, that's a good point. According to the compendium, they do 0-1 base damage. Even at 100 Tactics and Anatomy, that would get multiplied by like 1.7 or so, which may well get rounded down to 1. And their Armor of 2 makes it so they probably typically absorb the first 1 damage of any melee hit. A dog might be a better choice. Base damage 4-7, AR 12.
an hour prior to the event ill post where to meet and help gather people, then we will travel to the arena together. Please keep your chickens in a stable! Do not bring them with you.
