Bonjour, mes amis. In other, less fancy words, YARRR, Pirates of the skies! How are ya all, and can I interest anyone with a glass of Yum or a slice of Yum cake?

So, I've seen quite a few threads like this. So I decided to make one of my own!

Who would win in the epic battle between Gracie and Catbeard? I dunno, but I think they both have a chance... But I'd say Gracie. It's a dog eat cat world! -winks-

Gracie seems to be more on the smart side. What am I saying, she is. My thoughts are that she'd probably start out with that electronic trap of hers, get a few hits on Catbeard and bring out the golem. She'd need to have some decent epics to get rid of those waves and waves of criticals though...

So, who do you think would win? Go ahead and think about it while I go make some more Yum cake, and I need that tea too...

See ya in the Skyways!

Gracie and Catbeard are both such good-humored people that it is hard to imagine them fighting each other! (And they are terrific companions by the way; I love them both) In a sparring match, they'd probably be about equally matched: Gracie with that arm of hers swinging a wrench rivaling any baseball legend's bat, but Catbeard is no mean swordsman either. Catbeard, though, could take mischievous advantage: Catbeard leveling a fish at Gracie's golem, Gracie dropping her guard and yelling "No! The moisture and salt will ruin the metal!"; or Catbeard looking into the distance at an imaginary point and saying "what a fascinating collection of gears that machine has" and Gracie whipping her head around, "Where?" So, yes, Catbeard could readily win by cheating.

However, Catbeard is easily as distractable as Gracie... indeed, Emma, I saw how he particularly enjoyed your seed cakes (ate all of them, in fact). So perhaps a word in Gracie's ear, and she can counter with "Aren't there some more seed cakes on that table there?" or "Isn't that a jar of Aquilan olives I see in the corner over there?"

o gosh gracie is *wispers loudly* WORTHLESSS.... cat beard could do in her little skunkish face without a scratch, (ok, hardly a scratch, she has a gaurenteed crit*

Gracie Conrad because she is more of the smarter one while Catbeard is more of a traveling guide.

Yes, cheating could take a win for either of them. They're both quite distractable (especially Catbeard) but still, it just depends on who notices first.

See ya in the Skyways!

Lol, Remind me to never challenge you to a match of wits. Your imagination would run circles around mine and if not, your sense of humor would have me laughing so hard that the giggle tears would have my vision so blurred that I would be totally at your mercy ( and loving every minute of it ).

I would have to sat Catbeard because e criticals a LOT and can confuse Gracie by rambling on about something important while sidetracking himself like in the Nepoliguin puppet show. While Gracie is rollin on the floor laughing, Catbeard literally slaps her uncontious with an overly large fish.

with hopes for Catbeard,

Catbeard. Dat Relentless...............and Ripostes with the dodge.........

A side note, I think Gracie would win by default because if Catbeard laid a CLAW on my Gracie, he'd get clonked over the head with this. -gestures to Wizard Emma's "borrowed" battle axe-
