You win or lose next turn. To be fair though, 12 HP should go down to Master Splinter alone, and she* still has her cloak and another invisibility to loot the chest unmolested.

*mindthief was a she or am I misremembering?
On the same line, Bullwinkle is an he and Rocky a they, right?

Yeah, the Mindthief is a rat-lady and the Brute is a He-nox. All Savvas are genderless.

As a reminder to our players, at least one of them has to be still standing at the end of the Round the objective is completed for the mission to be a success - the Scenario doesn't end until the end of the Round in which the goal (kill the Overseer and loot the chest, in this case) is completed.

I think we'll keep the Rock Tunnel use as it is, unless for some reason everyone wants to let me go around punching rocks for a shitload of turns for XP before we open the goal box.

Also if these guys were that unhappy with their enslavement they'd be fighting on our side. No mercy for 'em.

If the Mindthief goes very quick this round and uses her invisibility cloak, she could stamina potion back Scurry for the bottom Loot 2 to try and finish off the boss next turn + loot the chest and like 4 coins.

This is true, though you'll need to actually kill the scouts for this, and not just rely on disarms and stuns. Those will protect you during the Scouts' turns, but not during the Boss's.

Yeah, that would be a worst case scenario if Rocky and/or Bullwinkle aren't around after this next set of attacks. That's a lot of attack 2s/3s after the first poison attack, though.

Using stamina potions so you have an extra card to toss to mitigate damage might not be a bad idea.

Diamond Mine Round 7B

Pending actions from last Round posted:

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

- Master Splinter uses Perverse Edge (top as a basic ATK2)! Attacks Merciless Overseer (BOSS) for 5 (2base, +1mod +2bonus) damage!
Merciless Overseer (BOSS) is at 7 HP.
- Master Splinter uses Fearsome Blade (bot)! Does not Move, attacks Merciless Overseer (BOSS) for 4 (2base, +0mod +2bonus) damage! Gains 2XP. LOSS card!
Merciless Overseer (BOSS) is at 3 HP.

The Overseer is almost dead...but if happens, that could spell disaster for our party!

10. Bullwinkle the Inox Brute (Car Hater) posted:

- Bullwinkle uses Trample (bot)! Moves 4 to I2 through H2, J2, K2! Gains 2XP. LOSS card!
Attacks Vermling Scout 3(E) for 3 (2base, +1mod) damage!
Vermling Scout 3(E) is at 2 HP.
Attacks Vermling Scout 5(E) for 0 (2base, -2mod) damage!
Attacks Merciless Overseer (BOSS) for 3 (2base, +1mod) damage!
Merciless Overseer (BOSS) is killed!
- Bullwinkle uses Provoking Roar (top)! Attacks Vermling Scout 3(E) for 2 (2base, +0mod) damage!
Vermling Scout 3(E) is killed!

That was some intense treading! Also Bullwinkle had missed out on the Hounds, but adds the Merciless Overseer to his gruesome Trophy collection. Also Car Hater your orders were to end movement on I3 after trampling Scout 3, 5 and Boss, but you would have needed MOVE5 instead of MOVE4, so I presume you meant I2?

35. Rocky the Savvas Cragheart (MarquiseMindfang) posted:

- Rocky uses Forceful Storm (top)! LOSS card!
Attacks Vermling Scout 4(E) with DISADVANTAGE for 3 (3base, +0/+0 mod) damage! Gains 1XP.
Vermling Scout 4(E) is at 2 HP and is DISARMED.
Attacks Vermling Scout 2 with DISADVANTAGE for 3 (3base, +0/x2 mod) damage! Gains 1XP.
Vermling Scout 2 is killed!.
Backup Ammunition 1st trigger! Gains 1XP.
Attacks Vermling Scout 10(E) with DISADVANTAGE for 2 (3base, +0/-1 mod) damage! Gains 1XP.
Vermling Scout 10(E) is at 3 HP and is DISARMED.
- Rocky uses Crushing Grasp (bot)! LOOTs1 and gains 1 coin token.
AIR is now strong.

Now that the Overseer is dead, Rocky's disarms should somehow protect it from the Vermlings attacks.

54. Vermling Scout 4(E), 5(E), 9(E), 10(Es), 7 posted:

- Vermling Scout 4(E) focuses Rocky! Loses DISARMED token.
- Vermling Scout 5(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 1 to I3. Attacks Bullwinkle for 1 (2base, +2mod, SHIELD3) damage.
Heather Shield SPENT, Hide Armor SPENT, Warding Strength 3rd trigger!
Bullwinkleis at 11 HP and is POISONED!
- Vermling Scout 5(E) focuses Bullwinkle!
- Vermling Scout 9(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Attacks Bullwinkle for 2 (2base, +0mod, SHIELD1, POISON) damage.
Warding Strength 4th trigger! Gains 1XP.
Bullwinkleis at 9 HP and is POISONED!
- Vermling Scout 10(Es) focuses Rocky! Loses DISARMED token.
- Vermling Scout 7 focuses Rocky! Moves 1 to M3. Attacks Rocky for 2 (1base, +1mod) damage.
Rockyis at 3 HP and is POISONED!

A veritable wall of Vermlings stands between Rocky and those coins. A sad day for capitalism.

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

Gloomhaven bosses frequently get stomped, but that seemed a little gratuitous!

Looks like this scenario is all over but the min/maxing. Just don't take the scouts for granted yet; you shouldn't have much trouble cleaning up and Splinter should be able to win alone if necessary, but they can still put the hurt on poisoned targets.

Well this may get awkward, one way or another...

I'm mixing things up a little bit with this update...I'll keep the voting open for the same amount of days, but I'll give people more time to vote on the economic choices and the next Scenario, since these are probably the most important things.
Let's discuss where our party should head to next, even if we don't need to leave immediately...
NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects).

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- We've found the location of the Clockwork Cove in a treasure chest in Scenario 1. As the name implies, we would face constructs, traps and puzzles. This is what we can expect from the Scenario:

- Snooping around in the pile of scrolls that Jekserah has sent us to recover, we've discovered the location of the picturesque Crypt of the Damned. If we want to learn more about this so called "Gloom", we'll have to face a bunch of Cultist, Undead and Elemental Demons!

- We may have decided that we like money. Jekserah has plenty of it and even if her methods are definitely not nice *cough* undeads *cough* the city may prosper under the lead of the Merchants. If we want to overthrow the current military junta and join Jekserah as partners, we can head to the Gloomhaven Square A. This is a BOSS Scenario and choosing this is incompatible with the next one in the list for obvious reasons. If we decide to choose this path, we may consider the undeads in this Scenario as allies:

- We may have be having second thoughts about Jekserah, no matter how much money she's thrown our way and into Gloomhaven's pockets in general. We will stand with the Militaristic junta against the undead and head to the Gloomhaven Square B: the City Guards may be bastards, but at least they are alive. This is a BOSS Scenario and choosing this is incompatible with the previous one in the list for obvious reasons. If we decide to choose this path, we may consider the Guards and Archers in this Scenario as allies:

YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices:
- MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario9
- City Event outcome, A or B!
- Money matters! Please specify if you want someone to buy/sell an item and for whom; the current Market pool is available in screenshot format above and also HERE. Also, please if you want someone to donate 10 gold to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary, please remember to specify who!
- Our Next Destination!

A big thank you to our players, DarthRoblox, MarquiseMindfang and Car Hater! Hope you had fun

I'll reach out to Slaan, Phelddagrif and Gutter Owl to let them know they're up next.)

Elephant Ambush: Nov 13, 2012; ...We sholde spenden more time together. What sayest thou?; Nap Ghost

MVP = Brute for literally stomping the boss to death like Mario on a goomba. That was hilarious.

City Event: Option B. Get that money! We're firmly established assholes at this point.

Shopping: I vote that both Bullwinkle and Master Splinter should buy a Battle Axe. That thing owns. Cragheart should buy the Piercing Bow.

Next scenario: I vote 11. Full disclosure here, I've never played 11 so I'd like to see it. Also gently caress it let's go all-in on this bad guy thing.

Oh yeah and I agree with the poster below that if we do 11 or 12 we should all donate to the Sanctuary.

Phelddagrif: Jan 28, 2009; Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

MVP were those hounds. They were good dogs.

Option A. As hilariously dickish as Option B is, given the state the city is in, I doubt it has much in the way of valuables. Better to keep the people safe.

Shopping. I concur with Battle Axe for our Mindthief. However, I think Rocky should buy nothing. For one thing, much of his damage is "true" damage which ignores shields anyway, so the Piercing Bow is less useful than for, say, a Spellweaver. Also, there's a very, very useful purchase he'll be able to make relatively soon that costs a lot of gold, so it's a good idea to save up now.

Also, if we end up going to one of the boss scenarios next, then everyone should donate to the Sanctuary. Otherwise, get the Battle Axe for the Brute, too.

Next scenario. Either 11 or 12 is fine with me. (I don't envy That Italian Guy the bookkeeping he'll have to do for those!)

I'm trying to set up a quick and dirty script that would allow me to input some values when prompted and print out the update <.<

E: I can already see this is not going to happen lol
