Since Splinter is stunning Guard 2, you don't have to kill her this round. Bullwinkle could boot up to F4 and skewer the Shaman and an Archer and Rocky could boot up to E6 and Dirt Tornado both archers and the Shaman. That has a good chance of killing one archer, and the other one will be muddled for their attack on Bullwinkle. This would expose Rocky to a single Guard attack, but that's only 2 damage. That would also still kill Guard 2 if Splinter draws a +1.

Well, Skewer is empowered by wind this turn so it's an attack 4 and your dirt tornado empowered by earth is an attack 2 so there's a good shot you take out the 6 health Archer.

So, the bad news is that I forgot to turn on the remote machine I use to run updates in my break and I won't be able to update until this evening GMT. The good news is that our players have had enough time to come up with a different plan, since they are in different time zones!

Bullwinkle got to add 2 trophies to his collection in one round! The group definitely took more than expected damage, but got very lucky in killing both Guard 2 and the Shaman in addition to the expected Archer kill.

It's funny cause after the first turn I was "man I should really add a tracker" and then completely forgot. I've now added it to the Step B template in the spreadsheet so we should be good to go for future turns And yeah, we're currently at 4/15! vvvvvvv Yeah I've added it posthumously in update 1B after Reik has suggested it.

We do! It’s , as I recall. E: yup, it’s suspense I can’t reach the door this turn, but I do still have a push 3 in my back pocket. If I can get to D4 or E4, I can chuck Guard 3 through those thorny branches and leave her near death, out of attack range, while getting close enough to the door to open it next round and block it for a couple of turns. I’m not too concerned with drawing focus, since we’re all at 6 HP anyways, and I plan to be untargetable after opening the door.

It would require Rocky or Bullwinkle to open the door, but Splinter going invisible on F5 seems strong.

Would it be worthwhile to wall off the southern guards with boulders at this point and send them the long way around? I'm on GMT, so I'll wait and see what you guys are thinking overnight.

Is there a better place you could drop them at a later point? If not, go for it.Reik posted:It would require Rocky or Bullwinkle to open the door, but Splinter going invisible on F5 seems strong. Splinter can open the door and go invisible, though, which prevents any potential enemies in the hut from attacking (unless they're ranged and someone else is in range), while also stopping the guards from spawning. F5 is also a legal spot for Rocky to drop an obstacle, and the door wouldn't be.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Is there a better place you could drop them at a later point? If not, go for it. Since dropping the rocks is a bottom action, Rocky would need to be able to get away from the guards without using their bottom action, then drop the rocks down, right? I guess they could push guard 4 with their top then drop down some rocks?

I normally just use them with a Backup Ammo enhanced Massive Boulder or Crater but when I played my Cragheart it wasn't a 4 player campaign so I rarely got to target 4 enemies with it at once. That was cool to see! quote:I can’t reach the door this turn, but I do still have a push 3 in my back pocket.

I’m not too concerned with drawing focus, since we’re all at 6 HP anyways, and I plan to be untargetable after opening the door. For the viewers at home, the thorns are not actually a trap. They're hazardous terrain. Anything moving onto it takes damage equal to half the trap damage of the current difficulty level (in this case 1 damage) and it doesn't go away when this happens like traps do. Also the damage is "true damage" just like trap damage where it ignores shields. Shoving things through hazardous terrain is hilarious because not only is it re-usable damage, the enemies will also have to spend extra movement to go back around it if they survive the damage.

Ripley posted:Would it be worthwhile to wall off the southern guards with boulders at this point and send them the long way around? I am inclined to outrace the two guards behind us and block off their progress. That does mean Splinter needs to move quickly (my fastest card is 29 init). If I move to F4 or G5 and immobilize Guard 4, they'd need their +1 move card to attack me. The following turn, I can use a push card to guarantee F5 is a valid boulder spot, and drop the rocks. Once those spawning warriors get cut off, we should probably plan to let the enemies in the room beyond come to us.

I'm not allowed to give you my exact initiative, but I think I'm allowed to point out that every non-Augment card I have is initiative 29 or faster. Make of that what you will.

Well, that's kind of painful. I can jump to D4 and knock Guard 5 into A2 as planned, but that makes me the archer's focus. I'd be happy to take the hit, but immobilize will set me back a round in terms of door-opening. I can also attack the archer instead, though. I'll be hitting it with an attack 4, which should be enough to kill it if someone else hits it and we get don't get terrible mod draws.

Enemies can't open doors, correct? (Unless the scenario authorizes it) Because otherwise I'd punt the guard into the door and open it that way. Very cinematic. The archer is at 3 HP, so a +0 Spare Dagger would be enough, and Rocky is right behind for a follow-up. E: oh right, earth is up, so one enemy is getting immobilised by Rocky.

Yeah, kill the archer and you can go faster than the remaining guards next turn to open door 1 and go invisible. I can 100% block off the two guards behind us next turn. I'm a little concerned about the three guards we'll face up here with two of us being poisoned. All my healing is being played right now. I'll immobilize one of the guards up here (guard 1), while will leave you with only two guards to worry about next turn. If the guards move 2 or 3 next turn I'll have to use my push to set up the barrier, but if they move 0 or 1 I can help out up here.

Playing the top half of a card and the bottom of the other is in any order, so Bullwinkle could grab the Archer's focus with his movement if the dagger misses. It's probably not a good option (he'd be immobilized and poisoned next turn with at least 3 guards focusing him) but it's there. What's the guard cap? 6? There are 4 in the image, one should have spawned right now and one will spawn at the start of the next turn, so opening the door should not add any guard if that's the limit. My bet for what's inside is a mix of guards and archers plus an elite shaman.

Reik posted:It might not be a bad idea to just double tap heal Bullwinkle this round if he stays put and disarm the two guards by you next round. That leaves him fighting three or four guards next turn, and me fighting two. If I stick with the plan, and he moves, then I'll get hit by one guard next turn and Bullwinkle can engage one or two. I'll still have the disarm AoE as well as Dirt Tornado in reserve.

Fast guards are the worst. At least if this run goes south, we'll be an example for the thread of how quickly things can go wrong. Healing is tempting, but I think Narsham's right that sitting put could make next turn into (even more of) a bloodbath. I'll move up and throw a dagger at somebody.

I should point out that you don't HAVE to open the door ASAP. The goal is to kill 15 enemies, and it might be easier and safer (though, more boring) to take down a steady stream of normal guards, rather than hunting for whatever unknown enemies might be waiting for you in the other rooms. Not to dissuade anyone - just pointing out the possibility!

Even if the next room is packed with archers, we can duck around the corner and they'll take at least 2-3 turns to engage us.
