Flames-One, Indian Patrols take Cups

Posted by Prescott on December 6, 2010

It was a hard fought battle, but for the first time ever, a First Year Patrol defeated the Bunny before any of the older Scouts were even nearby.

With 19 Battle Power, the Flying Flames-One arrived at an almost empty castle and commenced battle.  The Bunny could do nothing and he was defeated almost immediately.  A full 15 minutes later, the regular patrols arrived at the Castle and paced around the perimeter waiting to see who would challenge the Bunny first.  The Indian’s Patrol triumphed after allowing another Patrol to attack the Bunny first. After six rounds of loss by the Bunny, the Indians played the Temporal Warp card, allowing them to cut in line. It looked grim, though, when another Patrol played a different cut-in-front card. But, the Indians whipped out the Amulet card, which warded off the attempt and allowed them cruise on to victory.

The remaining Patrols did battle against each other for second and third place. Our friends from Troop 280, seemed to have a great time and ended up taking 3rd. In an interesting and surprising pre-finale upset, one Patrol never made it to battle the Bunny. They chose to go all-in attacking the Black Knight, and their gamble did not pay-off. The Black Knight claimed all their lives and left them defeated.

The feast was a tremendous success. Mr. Jimerson and Mr. Brainard, along with tons of help from the Patrols (who made the side dishes) and many others including Mr. Hardy, prepared 23 turkeys and fed well over 110 families and Scouts.

The Bunny and the Black Knight vow, however, that they will never be fully defeated and will return to wreck havoc on the poor Scouts of Colorado again next year.
