I want to clarify that it doesn't really bother me, I was just working under a different base assumption is all. I'll be scooping up a coin on my way towards the upper door. EDIT: OK, I sent in updated orders for this turn and next turn. This turn I'm moving up, scooping a coin if I can, and buffing myself. Next turn I'll move into range and use a big ranged attack on whatever I can. Zurai fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Apr 25, 2019 |

It was nice that I actually hadn't played Scenario 11, so I had no idea what the rooms had. Going back through scenario 1 though, it was hard to not use prior knowledge, I tried to err on the side of caution, too.

That's fine, no one is going to police anyone on acquired knowledge - as Elephant Ambush has said, it's not like you can force yourself to un-remember things. The game should be fun even if you know already what to expect, we'll just get some "optimized" plays (and we may crank individual Scenarios difficulty up if all the players already know it and want to); the LP should still be enjoyable for someone following the thread blind. Of course and because of that, please make sure not to spoil the content of future rooms itt. Also, I forgot to turn on my remote machine today :/ So the update is going to be delayed to later afternoon GMT. Apologies for the inconvenience!

I like the idea of cranking the difficulty if veterans are playing. And IMO veterans should always be backups instead of in the main player rotation. I love participating in this but I would prefer that others get preference over myself.

quote:Earth demons look like nothing special but the wind demons. Are those attacks melee or do they get to do that BS at their default range? I see no actual range on the attack card so I want to say melee. If air is available (timely skewer there) do they attack twice or is that a boost on the attack 2/3 line? I've forgot, what was the objective here? Murder everything or something more involved?

Omobono posted:Earth demons look like nothing special but the wind demons. Earth Demons ramp up fairly fast. At this level, they are just big, dumb, slow-moving bags of HP that can deliver a solid wallop. They're probably the least-scary demons, though. I dunno, Ice may be easier at this level for most characters.

Well, I might as well bend over for this elite wind demon. Also the enemies really are not cooperating in this room -- I'm going to have to choose between retreating and only hitting the elite Wind Demon with Forceful Storm, advancing and leaving myself open for another reaming next turn to hit the Cultist and normal Wind Demon, or not using Forceful Storm at all.

Some Numbers posted:WAIT. If there's a weird situation where, say, two different groups wanted Dark or something, only the first group to eat it gets the benefit unless (lucky you) it gets created again in the meantime. (Other important note: Demons do a thing where they consume "any element" to create their favorite. The players get to decide which one gets eaten. And yes, you can say they consume the same element they will create.)

I believe he can only eat the air if he actually attacks something with it, which would mean tangling with that Elite Earth Demon. And I'd still be eating the Elite Wind Demon's attack. But it would save Splinter from the increased AOE assuming he moves properly so it may be worth it. I'll be falling back and disarming the elite so at least we don't have to get hit next turn. I don't like leaving those cultists alone in the upper room but I'm certainly not going to charge in there unsupported.

What if Bullwinkle moves in and pushes the Elite Demon two spaces away from him so it can't move into melee range? In fact, the cutest thing you could do is run in onto the trap, push the Elite Demon to the other side of the normal and then hit the normal with Skewer. Alternately, you could just push the Elite away and hit the normal from B3 and you wouldn't take that much more damage.

Thanks for doing that without me sending in proper orders, That Italian Guy. I was completely wiped out when I got home last night and totally forgot about it. That said, can I have used my Piercing Bow to bypass the Shield on the Wind Demon? I believe my initial orders for the 2 round turn that got interrupted by this room being opened mentioned using the Bow if there were any Shielded enemies within the AOE, so it's not (only) coming from seeing the damned thing at just 1 HP.

# ? Apr 27, 2019 14:13 |
Ops! Yeah your order did include a "If there are enemies with Shield in the AOE, or if there are no potential enemies with Shield remaining, use the Piercing Bow" clause, my bad!

That Italian Guy posted:That was a very necessary hit! Master Spliter has 0 cards in her hand at the moment, so she couldn't prevent a lethal attack, since you can only Short Rest at the end of the Round. You can also lose two cards from your discard pile to prevent damage, instead of one card from your hand. This is rarely ever optimal, but it is still preferable to death.

OK, that worked out really well. Some Numbers, do you want to stay and finish off the cultists or should I? I can mostly finish them off this turn (possibly completely finishing them off with a little luck), but you can catch up with Bullwinkle faster. And you also have way better initiative numbers than I do so more chance to get to them before they do anything unpleasant.
