  • Well after a short Highlander hiatus I'm back just in time to kill off Kane

    So Fasil swoops in with a series of backflips and takes the head of a bewildered Kane.
    I'll also give one point to Rebecca because she's smart enough to save her strength now.

    +1 Iman Fasil
    -2 Kane
    +1 Rebecca Horne

    5. Methos = 11
    29. Caspian = 07
    83. Kronos = 07
    89. Duncan MacLeod = 05
    90. Xavier St. Cloud = 07
    101. Rebecca Horne = 04
    104. Kane = BEHEADED
    105. Michelle Webster = 04
    106. Iman Fasil = 04
    108. Sean Zale = 04
    109. Anton Legris = 05

    Please elaborate. I'm not too stubborn to have my mind changed. Like I said, if you guys knock out these bad guys and then Connor, May-Ling Shen and some Duncan-buddies come in, I'm going to switch and vote for him and he's going to win....again.

      It's probably because each of us only has 2 pluses and 2 minuses, and you're using both minuses on Duncan every time, which makes me want to use both pluses on Duncan every time... and there are other characters. Even if Duncan is badly attacked, he's liable to evade, get away from being surrounded, and he IS a survivor. So he might lose one and concentrate and get one off one of his attackers. Of course, in Immortal fighting, that 1 could easily be enough to lose a head, so it's rough for me.

      Killian's not an amazing fighter, but he's competent. And he HATES Duncan probably more than anyone on the map, which says a lot. Grace loves Duncan but ... does she even own a sword?

        I really wanted her to carry a secreted stiletto with which she would kill an Immortal who was really a threat. Maybe she wouldn't take heads, but would disappear, leaving her victim seriously freaked out.

        But when the showrunners had her beat her little fists on Sendaro's chest, I knew that was not in the cards for her. As far as they were concerned, she was alive because of her delicate feminine beauty and being protected by the men she encountered rather than beheaded.

      For Grace, there are 2 options in my opinion:

      1) she's a goodie 2 shoes, either protected by other immortals or hiding in plain sight doing public works, by making sure she's always surrounded by mortals to prevent her getting challenged.
      2) She's a goodie 2 shoes, who is a very good judge of character due to her work with people, and who doesn't need to hide because she's actually pretty good.

        • Slaaaaaaash! I assume Kronos attacked Anton, but you need a why!

          Duncan goes on fighting like the devil. With nothing else to do but desperation, he takes a hard shot at Xavier St. Cloud.

          ++ Duncan
          -- Xavier

            My response:
            One on one, Duncan could beat these people. He has before. If it was 2 on 1, I would probably be doing what you're stating above. But when you have:
            - Kronos - 4,000+ year old leader of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse
            - Caspian - 4,000+ year old Horseman
            - Xavier St. Cloud - A guy who nearly killed Duncan one on one
            - Axel Whittaker - A Guy who nearly killed Duncan one-on-one
            - Walter Reinhardt - A guy who gave Duncan a decent fight
            + others all going after him by himself when he really had almost no quality fighters to help defend him, it's too much for almost anyone.

            Plus when you throw in that he's defending Michelle and Sean? I just don't see how he would survive if he doesn't have the writers "He's the good guy so he wins" going for him. I love Duncan and would be terrified to see the character killed. As I mentioned, he is extremely resourceful and a great fighter. But Duncan's ONE flaw in this format is that he has a LOT of enemies. A LOT!

            Honestly, I think with this group going after him they would kill him so quickly. You ever watch a WWE Royal Rumble? What happens when the Big Show gets in the ring? (Big Show is 7 ft 4 inches, 400 pounds). All the little guys group together and toss him out of the ring because he's a threat. Same concept here except the people grouping up together are ALMOST as good as he is.

              • No more help for Duncan. Kragan hates him too. Cracker Bob is pathetic and not much of a threat other than he's another weapon Duncan has to dodge. But Cracker Bob would probably get in the bad guys way. Caspian or someone would probably kill him so he'd get out of the way. hahaha.

                ++ to Xavier St. Cloud - takes a second to recover from getting kicked in the face by Duncan and allows others to attack
                -- to Duncan - still has incredible forces grouping up to kill him. Crazy he has lasted so long. Kudos to him.

                • Methos and Rebecca lament the loss of MacLeod. "He was the best of us," was Methos' only statement on the matter, though it was barely heard above a whisper. Surrounded by all of this evil, Rebecca has to shore up her own defenses if she is to survive. Xavier, fresh off the incredible Quickening energy from the fallen Duncan, makes swift work of Michelle.
                  + Rebecca
                  + Xavier

                  • I don't quite agree with the demolishing of Duncan. While I agree almost everybody hated him, I think more of them wanted the Prize and had no qualms about shady methods. Duncan was not about that so he stopped them. I don't really think they would have banded together quite at that level, mainly because they want the prize and none of them would trust each other at all. But I have been telling own story, which Duncan was about to be part of. So, moving along.

                    Mehos visibly laments the loss of The Highlander. He decides he has hung back long enough. Duncan was supposed to be the best of the immortals. He (or possibly a few others) would keep mankind from falling into darkness. Methos looks at Xavier, that pompous buffoon. He, who gained his reputation not by his skill, but by using gas. Methos starts to sneer. He grips his sword tightly. It is time to enter the game. He takes a step towards Xavier. Then, he feels a hand on his arm, stopping him.

                    "Oh no, brother. This one is mine"

                    Kronos goes to Xavier and engages him. Kronos hears Darius's voice say "He cannot be allowed to....."

                    "Shut up old man."

                    Xavier has no defense against the leader of the Horsemen. Seven seconds in, Xavier's prosthetic arm flies away.

                    +2 Kronos

                    • Where is everybody?

                      Kronos continues to fight the now on-armed Xavier, who realizes just how much trouble he is in.

                      Rebecca goes after that idiot Cracker Bob, who is stupidly walking around with a bat. Moron.

                      • It's a life thing. Also, the news of Stan Kirsch's death hit really hard today.

                        Kronos might be after MacLeod's Quickening via Xavier. What with Darius in there, things might get really good.
                        Rebecca keeps her focus on poor Bob for the moment.

                        Annie has, with the shock of Mac's death, decided in his honor to put her life on the line for Grace and Sean. Please, Grace, show some secret skill. I want to remind you Sean IS a war veteran, however short his life was, and he might be good at evading.

                        + Kronos

                                  • With the crowd thinned, Methos and Caspian are able to relax a little bit. Xavier retreats from Kronos and blindsides Annie Devlin removing her head. He ducks off in a full sprint as he's pretty injured. Killian takes a cut from Zai Jie.

                                      • Wahoo, it's the next day for me!

                                        Kronos decides Xavier has been with us long enough. At the same time, he wonders how this can be the end, when he knows Duncan MacLeod had taken his head. When Darius knows that deranged mortals took HIS on Holy Ground.

                                        Methos welcomes Zai, but is keeping a weather eye on Kronos. At least now that Mac's out, he doesn't have to worry about explaining away Richie's death.

                                        Mako, while interested in Kragan, is also disturbed by knowing that he shouldn't be here. He wonders if he's the only one. He recognizes Grace and Rebecca, and has a nagging sense of familiarity about Kronos. Caspian, though... in Caspian's body language he recognizes murder and madness.

                                        + Kronos
                                        -- Xavier
