Ouch the trap, the golem +2 and the parting cannon shot. Good luck guys, you got this. Nobby's warming up the car.

I'll lose wisftul wounding; the time for doing damage is over and now it's time to GTFO. Pretty unlucky draw there! Would very much appreciate it if you moved quickly so I can ride the devil away before the golems move. That should also get you able to kill the spirit via retaliate since you'll draw focus (and if it gets its target 2, you'll still draw focus since I have the shawl and it'll be dead before it gets to target me.) e: I think you can volatile bomb to get an extra hex of range and yank the top golem to focus you also FairGame fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 18, 2022 |

Well that's just great. I'll lose Flaming Sickle to avoid the damage from the trap (  ), then Major Stam Pot back Flying Sickle, Shocking Advance and Strangling Chain.@Fairgame, are you okay with me exiting the dungeon this turn after my actions or did you want me to stick around to help you out when you flee next round (and then flee myself the round after)?

TravelLog posted:Well that's just great.  I don't think you have enough to survive 3 rounds of this. I have enough to survive 2 rounds of this provided: 1.) The spirit doesn't get to attack me (it should kill itself on retaliate from you) 2.) I don't have to toss more than 4 cards to avoid damage between now and my exit. There are 3 golems who are dangerous; you should kill the spirit and can draw fire from the top golem this turn. That leaves 2 golems who can hurt me on this turn, and 3 next turn. But I can use throw voice to keep 1 of them from attacking this round, and if I protect it with a short rest I can do it next round too while still scrambling to the exit. Literally the only thing that kills us is them drawing a refresh PLUS getting the immobilize card on the subsequent turn. If that happens I don't have enough to survive and we've either lost outright or we'd need to have you stick around and survive somehow.

Spirit and stone golems not cooperating. Rude. No damage this turn at least if you disarm the one dude so its all up to the next draw.

Yeah. I think just draw the next stone golem card and see if we win or not. This is over one way or another. Redguard escapes this turn and takes a parting shot at the spirit in case he can draw a +2, I disarm the only threat as I ride 2 hexes closer to freedom. I stop playing my song, moving it to discard. I short rest protecting throw voice, then move at the fastest initiative (either 05 or 06, faster than anything on the map) onto the exit, disarming the 2 golems in the middle room who will be in a triangle after this turn. (Seems like I can be stunned on the exit hex and still win the scenario in case the spirit gets cheeky with its ice). I throw cards to prevent damage as necessary. At most I will take 2 hits from the 4 enemies on the board, and I have > 2 cards I can throw. 87.5% chance we've won, 12.5% we've lost due to pull + immobilize and there's nothing we can do about it. If the golems drew pull+immobilize/refresh/pull+immobilize on their final 3 turns (1/8 * 1/4 * 1/8 = 1 in 256) we just tip our hats and

We're actually guaranteed to win due to the little known Combo Mechanic where certain cross-class card combinations being played on the same turn triggers a unique effect. In this case, Song of Speed and Swift Strength trigger "Mass Acceleration" which gives all party members an extra turn on their normal initiative - 10, which I can use to have the Sand Devil move Letty to the escape tile.

My late night thoughts: 1. MVP Kir + the sand devil by a nose. Nobby didn't do much, just popped in, took a beating, and got out. 2. Kir - both replace +1s with +2 Light. Vicious Ballet could be handy? I haven't seen a red guard this high level yet. 3. Letty - the disarm and the immobilize I guess? I like going all the way back to Inspiring Anthem because it's a great card, Tranquil Trill might be okay as we're always getting beat up. 4. Nobby - I like the two pierce 3 cards, more chance to roll into a refresh. Stun's good too. 5. City event - can't hurt to help but maybe we're too cool for manual labor? A 6. Temple of the Elements for the main quest. I think it will take too long to retire anyone at this point, though maybe Pheld has a few more years in him or there will be a third person to pass it down to. We have to beat the game so TIG or someone can come in with Frosthaven when it hits If we do want to retire Letty we should do the crypt next to get the third one into the city event pool.7. Nobby donates to the temple, may as well keep plugging along just in case. He should buy a major stamina potion too. Sun earring for Kir. 8. Is it 66g to add a hex to Letty's disarm? Someone wanted that way back when she first joined us.

By the way, I'm planning to do a mini-lore update in the next day or two. Hitting Prosperity 6 has revealed the next part of the Town Records book, and there's also the matter of the strange writing mentioned at the end of the scenario.bagrada posted:I think it will take too long to retire anyone at this point, though maybe Pheld has a few more years in him or there will be a third person to pass it down to. We have to beat the game so TIG or someone can come in with Frosthaven when it hits Hah, I'm honestly not sure what to do once we finish the main campaign. I might just wrap it up there; it feels like a good place to end the story, and running this thing is a lot more work than expected! As far as retirements go, I might put it to a vote to see if we want to do something about that in the near future. There's literally zero chance that Kir will get enough kills to complete his quest, since all the bandits and cultists are in the early scenarios that we finished ages ago. And really, one point of running a Let's Play is to show off the game's content, and there's a bunch of classes we haven't experienced yet.

Kir: Horns of the Beast. We need more Fire generation! Replace +0 with +1 (Wound) and Add +1 Fire. Letty: Go back and take Crippling Chorus which can basically nullify a whole room by itself at the end of a scenario and until then is a free Disarm on the bottom (which is a big deal since it can free up other tops for Letty). Replace +0 with +3 (Muddle) and replace +0 with +1 (Disarm). Nobby: Add Rolling +1 Target. City Event: Option A. Next Stop: Lett's Solo Scenario! Let's get that special item. Market: Buy Letty a Versatile Dagger and a Ring of Haste. Enhancements: we need to save up to add Fire to the bottom of Shocking Advance for Kir.

My thoughts: Letty: Tranquil Trill. A free heal 2 every round is so, so good, combined with an emergency disarm every one next to me ability? Yes please. City Event: Option A. Have Nobby donate to the temple for sure. Sun earring on a quartermaster is ridiculous. It's just a good item regardless. Someone should get one for sure. Buy a pendant of dark pacts for Letty, or do an enhancement. Lot of gold just sitting there should go to good use.

Hitting Prosperity 6 has revealed the next part of the Town Records book, and there's also the matter of the strange writing mentioned at the end of the scenario. I'd root for that, show off the remaining classes. If we focus the main campaign there's still at least 9-10 more scenarios, so we could probably vote on two parties to finish it out and see if any good goon characters come out of it. Still locked are our current quests Sun, Cthulhu, and Saw, all three of which are great. Plus Triforce (not LP-worthy imho, needs synergy and high levels) and Lightning Bolt (which should absolutely be showcased). Unlocked but unplayed are Summoner, Nightshroud, Diviner, and the other three Jaws of the Lion classes. Which maybe someone can take into a Jaws LP in the future.

Story Update In the last scenario, there were two important story-related items that were unlocked. Rather than bury them in the rest of the conclusion, I'm highlighting them here so that they don't get missed. First up, we have the Town Records! The last time we spoke with Dominic, he showed us a story about the Demon War between humans and Valrath, and of an Aesther who brokered peace between the two commanders, at the site where the city of Gloomhaven would be founded. The Aesther recounted a story of something called the "great Upheaval", which had somehow caused the collapse and disappearance of some long-forgotten civilization. Dominic had said he would look further into this Upheaval, and would contact us when he learned more. Now that Gloomhaven's prosperity has increased, he has reached out to us once more, with mixed news:   Scenario Unlocked: Rockslide Ridge (#73) If we want to know more of the story, we'll need to go out there and track down that book! The other item we unlocked was found in the Timeworn Tomb. After collecting the Voice's last vessel, we traveled back to the Echo Chamber and freed the being, who rewarded us with gold, experience and prosperity. But we also were left with a stone tablet, which bore strange markings:  Thankfully, no cipher tricks or internet searching is necessary to decipher this runic language. Included in the physical Gloomhaven box is a decoder card, which can be used to translate the message:  Feel free to post about the decoded message, however! If you care about spoilers, I highly suggest you do not look into what this means online! This message is only one piece of a puzzle, which includes many pieces of Gloomhaven content that we haven't seen yet, but we'll get to in due time. In the meantime, please continue to vote for the options at the end of the last update. If you would like to visit the new scenario, that is also an option! Voting will be open until Monday evening.

City Management XXXIV, Update 1Vote Results posted:
City Event 7 posted:
Our next destination is the Temple of the Elements! This scenario is part of the main quest, and is a follow-up to the Ancient Cistern. There, we found strange writing which we brought to an expert at the University. It described some sort of artifact which was being used as a conduit to corrupt the underbelly of the city. We'll see more details about the scenario in the next update. We'll have to get on the Road to get there! Road Event 44 posted:Finally, due to thread consensus, we'll start more actively rotating out the active characters. We'll be retiring Kir Kanos after this scenario - he's grown tired of battling demons and talking to spirits, and wants to live out his days fighting bandits and highwaymen. Letty has been with us just as long, but her retirement path is a bit more interesting, so we'll wait and see if the thread wants to go down that path.
