If we're resting, I think that we should move up to the door this turn, long rest next turn, then open the door the turn after that. I figure that I'll probably open the door since I'm the fastest?

This would allow Rocky to use their top heal before the rest, allowing them to immediately recover it.

I'm wantingg to rest this turn, bust the door open with a fart next turn, do some crazy nonsense with said fart turn after

MarquiseMindfang: Jan 6, 2013; vriska (vriska)

I'm planning to move up and heal, I can go with a short rest if you really want to get in there next turn. It's the last room, with one priority target with no-too-much-HP, I can spunk away cards as much as I like as long as we win.

# ? Feb 27, 2019 19:29

DarthRoblox: Nov 25, 2007; *rolls ankle* *gains 15lbs* *apologizes to TFLC* *rolls ankle*...

If we're all planning on resting then there's no downside to taking a turn to move and then doing a long rest, since it both refreshes Bullwinkle's items as well as gives both of you some healing. We have enough cards to move this turn and get us better position to react to whatever's in the room and lets Rocky make better use of the healing they've got available.

I'll go slow though Bullwinkle can have their moment of farting glory.

That Italian Guy: Jul 25, 2012; We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.

It looks like there was some miscommunication on how to proceed, so I got:
- 3 Rounds worth of actions for the Mindthief, with a Long Rest on Round 2;
- 2 Rounds worth of actions for the Brute - with the implied intent on opening the door on Round 2, as per Car Hater's post;
- 1 Round worth of actions for the Craghearth

I would have gone through and proceeded with the update till the door was opened in the second Round, but I don't have a card selection for MarquiseMindfang for that Round :/

While I get orders for the second Round for the Craghearth, it could be a good idea to check with each other and decide if you want to open the door on the second or the third Round

Apologies for the lack of clarity on my end!

round 2: everyone long rests
round 3: open the door

I (Bullwinkle) already moved towards the door because I thought that was the plan starting last turn, essentially must rest this turn. Could waste a top card to heal a bit more, but it will be more useful to heal myself 2 or 3 turns from now so Rocky can use the Earth that I will generate doing so, and if the combo is strong enough we can stamina potion it back-to-back.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the door to open on Turn 2 else I'm largely going to be sat around with my thumb up my rear end.

I don't see a Range value or an Immobilise immunity on that boss so I'm basically planning to barrel in and kick him around like a football, terrain permitting.

The boss deck does have a 2 target 3 range attack card even if the boss doesn't have a range value. It's only a 1 in 8 chance, though.

DarthRoblox: Nov 25, 2007; *rolls ankle* *gains 15lbs* *apologizes to TFLC* *rolls ankle*...

Well the idea was that everyone has at least 2 cards left, so we'd move up on the door this turn, take a collective long rest the next turn, then rudely barge in the turn after that. You only lose cards upon resting, so the extra turn of movement doesn't ultimately cost anything.

tbh though it's funnier this way with the thief deciding to snooze right as Bullwinkle smashes down the door so I'm just going to roll with whatever happens.

Diamond Mine Round 4+5A

Pending actions from last Round posted:

-None!

Diamond Mine Round 4 posted:

- Master Splinter uses Feedback Loop (bot) to move to G1 and Into the Night (top) to do nothing.
- Rocky uses Massive Boulder (bot) to MOVE4 to E1 and Rumbling Advance (top) to HEAL4 Bullwinkle. Short rests, rerolling for Massive Boulder or Rumbling Advance...loses 1HP to reroll Massive Boulder, then loses Rumbling Advance.

- Bullwinkle will recover all discarded cards, loses Grab and Go; recovers 2HP and refreshes all the items that have been SPENT.

That was very :thatsgh: for Rocky, but to be fair it's not that crazy, since they only had 5 cards total in their discard pile at that moment.

Diamond Mine Round 5A+

Thats...a lot of Vermlings. At least there's only 2 left in the box? :ninja:

When door 1 is opened posted:

You move through a tight crawlspace clearly more suited to the ratlike Vermlings into a large chamber full of rubble and Vermling miners on high alert. Toward the back of the chamber, a man in a dark robe cracks a whip and begins spitting orders at the miners, who turn their pickaxes away from the stone walls and toward you.
Boss Special 1
All Vermling Scouts immediately take an extra turn using the action card drawn for them this round.
Boss Special 2
The Merciless Overseer summons two normal Vermling Scouts for two characters, one normal and one elite Vermling Scout for three characters, or two elite Vermling Scouts for four characters.

Remember when I said there were still 2 Vermlings in the box? Yeah...
Also thats...a lot of attacks, if they ever connect.

Diamond Mine Round 5B

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- Rocky should have lost 1HP due to reroll, but I forgot to remove it. I'll apply the "errors are resolved in the players favor" clause, so Rocky stays at 3HP.
- EARTH should be waning instead of inert!
- Added STUN tokens to the STUN traps (thanks Narsham for the reminder!)

- Bullwinkle uses Spare Dagger (top)! Attacks Merciless Overseer (BOSS) for 3 (3base, +0mod) damage! Gains 1XP.
Merciless Overseer (BOSS) is at 21 HP.

- Merciless Overseer (BOSS) focuses Bullwinkle! Summons Vermling Scout 10(E) in I2! Summons Vermling Scout 1 in J2!

- Vermling Scout 9(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (1base, +0mod, SHIELD1) damage. Attacks Rocky for 0 (1base, NULLmod) damage.
Warding Strenght first trigger!
- Vermling Scout 10(E) is affected by Summoning sickness!
- Vermling Scout 1 is affected by Summoning sickness!
- Vermling Scout 2 focuses Bullwinkle! No action taken!
- Vermling Scout 6 focuses Bullwinkle! Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (0base, +2'mod, SHIELD2) damage.
Warding Strenght second trigger! Gains 1XP. Hide Armor first charge used!
- Vermling Scout 7 focuses Bullwinkle! Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (0base, +0mod) damage.
- Vermling Scout 8 focuses Bullwinkle! Attacks Bullwinkle with DISADVANTAGE for 0 (0base, -2/-1mod) damage.

- Rocky uses Massive Boulder (top)! No action taken!
- Rocky uses Earthen Clod (bot)! HEALS2 Self!
Rocky is at 5 HP.

As a refresher for our players and for the people at home: if a Monster's ability card doesn't have a MOVE action, the monster doesn't move that round. If there is no Attack action, it doesn't attack. So for example the Boss won't move nor attack whenever he draws a Special card.

99. Master Splinter the Vermling Mindthief (DarthRoblox) posted:

Master Splintertakes a Long Rest! Recovers all the discarded cards, refreshes all SPENT items, HEALS2 Self. Loses Submissive Affliction.

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

- EARTH is now inert.

This is going to get hectic fast! As a suggestion to our active players, with all this crap on the board, think well about your contingencies, especially regarding to movements that are not Jumps!

Active players please discuss your options itt and provide your STEP A Orders via PM/email with this format:
- Initiative: xx
- Card 1: name
- Card 2: name
You can consult the (mobile friendly) spreadsheet to see which cards are available and decide your next moves.

It did 0 damage because of the SHIELD1 from Warding Strenght

Characters can activate active cards and items with charges effects in any order - altough they HAVE to activate objects like Hide Armor or cards like Warding Strenght if their condition is triggered. In this case, I assume the Brute would like to activate W.S. first for flexibility and to be able to sum up to 3 points of SHIELD in the future, if necessary.

In this situation I think it makes sense to trigger Warding Strength first because I don't think there will be any long rests for the remainder of the scenario. Otherwise, you could run in to a situation where you end up long resting with only 1 charge spent on your hide armor, preventing you from recovering the item.
