As a lad, I owned (and cherished) a War Duke action figure, so obviously he had to be in the top three.

Next, out of loyalty for Ravenloft, Strahd had no choice but to be involved.

And although I didn't know the guy, Emirikol the Chaotic had a je ne sais quoi about him that just caught me off guard.

The ol' Count won it in the end, but only because I'm trying to support the setting. Were such matters not taken into consideration, Emirikol would be laughing all the way to wherever it is he was going until those guys with the crossbows showed up.

Not me, it's the other guy with way too much obscure Ravenloft stuff... ;)

Got Lady of Pain takes all, with her sounding beating Jarlaxle in the semi-final, and obliterating Strahd in the finals.

Frankly, I had Strahd vs. Soth in the Undead finals division, and Artemis and Jarlaxle in Monster and Legend (because honestly most of the monster and legends do not impress me)

Looks like the tournament brackets have updated.

(6)66% success rate...

But I almost never picked anyone from the Realms, which sort of explains my lower ratio.

And Emirikol lost his match by an overwhelming number.

Round three is up. Soth got bested by the Raven Queen, looks like Strahd's going to need all the support he can get.
