Best Talisman TOAD Moment?

By Fritz40K, in Talisman

What’s your best TOAD moment? Sucks when it happens to you, but endlessly hilarious when your buddy gets todafied.

I always try to keep a Random spell in reserve for a last ditch attempt to toad somebody when they make the run for the Crown of Command- drop that Talisman and BAM!

Best RECENT toad moment?

From a recent game with the guys here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NKPCubUJJU

Fast forward to 31.41 for the magic moment.

Marvelous.

I always find it hilarious when you roll a 1, become a Toad, pay a fate to re-roll, breathe a sigh of relief (because what's the chance you'll roll another 1?), and then roll a .....1.

:D

Anytime there is a toad chant and a 1 is rolled :) . It was fun to see that you guys chant toad, toad, toad too.

During our most recent play through, we had a great toad moment. It was towards the end of the game, and I was playing the Gypsy. Though I wasn't the strongest at the time, I had a fair amount of gold and a Talisman, so when I landed on the Academy in the Hidden Valley I decided to spend all my gold and train for 4 turns. That would get my Craft up to 14 and allow me to make a good run for the center.

My nemesis, the Highlander was the strongest character in the game at the time, and as soon as I gave up 4 turns he started running for the center. He had something around 16 strength at the time, tons of Followers and Objects, and a single Spell. On his way to the Portal of Power he landed on the Hidden Valley and instead of just carrying on and getting a 2 turn head start through the Inner Region, he made the ill-fated decision to attack me in battle. I thought it was to steal my Talisman and slow me down, but then he smugly laid down the Toadify spell and everyone went silent. He picked up the die with glee in his eyes and gave it a toss...and rolls a 1. We all laugh as he just stares at the die that betrayed him. With no fate to reroll he grimly replaces his figure with a toad and dumps all his stuff on the ground.

To add insult to injury I, as the Gypsy, pick up the freshly discarded Toadify and am also able to land on his stuff before he has a chance to reclaim it. That's why you don't mess with the Gypsy!

not a toad moment but: assassin has managed to run away with the game, has almost twice the strangth and craft of everyone else, almost ready for the crown. in 3-5 turns he loses 3 life then in 1 turn he meets the magicportal --> the imp --> the temple, rolls 1+1, rerolls for 2. Lose 1 life. He just smiled sadly, nodded to himself and flipped his sheet:)

Dwarf wanders into the Woodland, draws his first card 'Crone Cauldron' - toaded. On his second turn as a toad, visits the crone again rather than risk an enemy - double-toaded.

Just had an adevture on our end. Up unitl the last game session, almost no one has survived being turned inot a toad, much less regain their gear. We were doing our Supers Talisman-I had Mystic Arts Master, one girl had Mutant Sorceress and the other had Gifted Psionicist. The one with the Psionicist ventures into the woodlands and a few turns in, she gets turned into a toad. Naturally, she has to drop all of her stuff.Not only does she survive the three turns while she is a toad, on her final turn, after being turned back into a human again, she rolls a 1 and gets all her stuff back!

Bought woodlands expansion. First game ever with it, my first move. walks into the woodlands. Toaded.

What better way to be welcomed to the expansion.

In one of my best play a Gypsy was killed by a Toad in battle... and the Gypsy was the best player with 8 craft and 3 spells... it was so EPIC!
Funny fact --> one minute before: Gypsy uses random, now you're a toad....... and then REVENGE
the most ironic thing: Toad can't have the suitable reward (wand, mule, gold,....)
