		So, you use communion to increase your skills then mind duel, right?

		Er, possibly, to be honest I have never used either communion OR mind duel...

 You only want to use Mind Duel if you know there is an enemy astral mage you want to kill. In my case, sages are cheap, and a fully equipped Archdevil is expensive, so gambling on mind duel was a good deal.
 
It's astral skill + 1d6 for each, and both mages die if they get the same result.
 
I don't know if anyone specifically communions just for mind duel. Most likely, if they can communion, they probably have more destructive spells to cast.

		Wow, I get to live another turn!!! 
Here is a picture of Mictlan's invading army:
    
Notice how many blood uniques he had in that battle?

		And here are the battle results. I believe that the only Mictlan commander to have survived was Ethanim the Archdevil. I know I won't survive another beating, but there is ever a good time to gang up on Mictlan, this is probably it.

		Oh, and Jotunheim, if you're paying attention to this thread, you really ought to try summonning some of the ice devils I just killed.

		Yup, I underestimated Machaka and paid the price. Should have brought in a bigger army with more mages and/or just tried to preach Machaka to death.  I'm not exactly sure on the effects of rigor mortis (some kind of fatigue loss every round) but I think that helped Machaka a lot.  Those mechanical men are pretty tough too.  I got a bunch lying around but didn't bring enough to that fight.

		Any chance that interested readers can get that turn file (after the game) to see a most impressive battle?
