The image is of Queen Mycelia, a card that still eludes me to this day, I really need to pull one! However, mushrooms can be very tasty on a Pizza!
Additionally, let’s get awareness of the game out there, follow me on twitter and retweet! @DrKqaos Let’s bring attention to it like a guy who is throwing pizza to a crowd! Hopefully not as mess as that might be… If you are not playing Splinterlands yet, click on any of the battles or the link towards the bottom, would love to have you!
So, let’s look at SPS which is currently trending at $0.025, it has dropped a lot, not a great thing, hopefully it will rise, time to buy if you want to get into more tourneys! Speaking of buying things, 117,761 packs for the next legendary summoner in Chaos Legion, it has picked up, I think the pack burning has started, and Just 89,294 to go for Rift Watchers next Airdrop, which has really dropped!
Since I have been looking at cards a little bit more, the lore really pops, and this one, was the first outside of gladiators to have the bloodlust ability:
The Lore behind the Grum by Splinterlands:
Grum is known throughout his tribe as the strongest warrior. Born in the Sands of Draykh-Nahka, his hard upbringing made him a survivor. There was no weather too extreme, no drought too long, and no enemy too cunning for Grum. He became well-respected within the region for his battle prowess and defended his tribe countless times against the creatures of the wastes. Tales were sung around the fires of Grum's battle with the Great Wyrm of the Sands, the Earth-Shaking Titan, and Velissa the Sorceress. Grum's tribe, known as the Desert Blood, honored tradition, strength, and courage. He grew to become a legend amongst his people.
One day, he felt the spirits of his ancestors calling to him. Going on a solitary journey into the wasteland, he connected with an ancient past. A ruin lay deep underneath the desert that housed powerful mana. That connection imbued him with magic, and he became able to summon fire on his great sword, making him more formidable than ever before.
Grum could have taken this gift and used it to defend his tribe, but instead, he became arrogant. Who could defeat a warrior with a blade of fire? He began traveling, seeking out any foe that pleased him and doing as he chose. Even in the often dangerous draconic lands of Draykh-Nahka, there were few who would cross Grum.
His path took him across the Chaos Legion. Grum battled their warriors, but found he could not overcome their collective might. Their magic, their tactics, and their motivations were strange to Grum. It was something he'd never come across before. Rather than surrender, Grum was impressed. He chose to join the Chaos Legion and use their might to find new foes to face.
Grum now serves in the front lines of battle for the Chaos Legion. While he is a leader of the fiercest warriors, Grum fights right alongside even the newest soldier. He prefers to be the first to break the lines of the enemy and bring their heads back as his trophies. His ferocity and burning blade earned him the name Grum Flameblade across the land.
The Battle Mage arena had never seen this much bloodshed and death. Typically, fights were only between illusions, and no one was in any danger of being harmed. Things had changed when the Chaos Legion arrived. Grum saw to that. The Flameblade from Draykh-Nahka saw the arena as competition for new potential recruits, only now there would be no illusory magic as a defense. Blood stained the ground crimson and headless bodies lay stacked in piles, waiting to be burned.
Grum's deep gravelly voice bellowed throughout the packed stadium. People of all walks of life filled the seats, and not one cheered or clapped. “Do you not see how you failed to protect your land? Warriors are molded on the battlefield. Hardened by the steel they carry. They are not false magicians who fight for your entertainment. Battles are won by soldiers. Victory is earned through pain and sacrifice.”
A body lay at his feet. Its head rolled to a stop inches from where it was severed from the neck. Blood dripped from a massive greatsword held in Grum's left hand. As he stood over the body, in the center of the arena grounds, the sound of metal grinding on metal echoed throughout the stands. Grum glanced behind him to see two robed Chaos Legion members dragging the figure of a person towards him. He grinned a toothy smile and gripped his sword tighter.
“I stand before you a teacher of the arts. A master swordsmith and creator of war. If it is entertainment you want, I will happily oblige.”
The body of a man was brought before Grum and set before him. Grum reached down with his free hand and grabbed the man by his mane of sweaty, white hair. It stuck to the man's face as Grum lifted him off of the ground, dirt falling from the man's ragged clothes. He let out a stifled moan and gasp as he locked his green eyes with the towering orc that was Grum. Grum's smile twisted, and he let out a short laugh.
Grum's deep voice echoed throughout the arena again. “This man claims to be a warrior. He says he is practiced with blade and shield. Another disappointment I'm sure, but let's see if he has what it takes.”
Grum tossed the man a few feet in front of him, and he landed with a thud. Dust billowed around him as he scrambled to his feet. A blunt sword and shield were tossed at his feet, and he plucked them from the ground quickly. He struggled to buckle the shield on his arm as Grum spoke again.
“I give him the same chance I gave everyone else you see piled around this arena. If he so much as scratches me with his blade, I will concede. Begin!”
Powered by fear, the man rushed the orc and brought his sword low, aiming for Grum's thigh. Grum parried the blade with his sword and stood firm. The man tried for an overhead swing and connected with Grum's shoulder. The blade struck clean but did not cut through the sturdy flesh. A wry smile flashed across Grum's face.
Grum raised his greatsword above his head and shouted. “Draykh un Fliera!”
In an instant, a rush of flames whirled around his sword. It reflected on the shield and in the green eyes of his opponent. Grum hit the man in the stomach with the hilt of his sword before he brought it around in a large sweeping arc over his head for a second attack. The last thing the man saw was a fiery greatsword being swung at his face.
A head with white sweaty hair hit the ground and rolled near Grum's foot. He placed his foot on top of it and bellowed out a war cry. It was yet another trophy to add to his collection.
On to the battle, the guild as a whole filled 14 out of 16 frays for this one, awesome that we are getting closer to a full house! This time around I am back in the Bronze Chaos Legion/Riftwatchers fight with 7 fights that have my name on them!
Battle #1 (Link)
We start in the enemy arena looking at 29 mana, no legendary, and super sneak. I went earth on this one with Quora in the back so that she can take the hits and heal. Grund to slam the backline as well. They went earth as well, only with quora in the front. My strategy worked out better in this case!
Battle #2 (Link)
Staying away in this fight as well, looking at 18 mana and evens only. Not many good choices here, I went light on this one. They went earth, which they eliminated from me doing that.
Battle #3(Link)
This one is at the home arena, so consulting to see what I can do better. Looking at 34 mana, thorns and return fire, ouch. I’m looking at earth for this one, the taunt and the magic should help me out. They went water, that gives me a little more time with the magic damage. Another solid win!
Battle #4 (Link)
Staying in the home arena for this one looking at 15 mana, enrage and stampede. I am going fire with Gorth leading the charge, hoping that the enrage kicks in fiercely! They went water, with extra health, but also, stampede to kick it into overdrive. Gorth just kicked it up and did awesome for me!
Battle #5 (Link)
Back on the road for this one with 12 mana, equalizer and close range, with only light and death available. I don’t know how smart this is for me to do this one, but I went light, due to the Pelacor Arbalest being able to attack from the front row with Sola healing. They went light as well, only they have speed and return fire, it does not look good for me. That return fire just took me out quickly!
Battle #6 (Link)
Staying in the enemy arena this time looking at 26 mana, magic reflect, and no melee. I decided to go water on this one, Edith has some good damage, but then the wave brood with the taunt using heal and armor repair. They went light on this one, looking to have the pelacor arbalest knock me down. However, I was just doing a good amount of damage quickly and won it with the taunt working and staying alive.
Battle #7 (Link)
Last one, the homecoming match. Poison, return fire, and 19 mana. Don’t know if this will go well for me or not, but I went water again, hoping that Relenor can take down the enemy. They went fire, which was my second choice. They used a couple of low-level people in the front that helped Relenor increase his attack through bloodlust, a good win for me!
So, just over 20 hours to go on this one, I am sitting at 2 and 1, a good way to start, but lots to go. Hopefully my wins will continue, meanwhile, the guild is currently sitting in 1st place, but about a third of the fights are completed, so a long way to go!
I ended up 5 and 2, a really good brawl for me! The guild ended up in 2nd place! So it was a good time for us as well!
I get to open another gladius pack, nothing special on this one:
