Frozen Hollow, Round 1B

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- Fixed the Active Players names!

15. Bullwinkle the Inox Brute (Phelddagrif) posted:

- Bullwinkle uses Shield Bash (bot)! Round bonus active: SHIELD1, Self
- Bullwinkle uses Eye for an Eye (top)! Round bonus active: RETALIATE2, Self - Gain XP1 each time you Retaliate this round.

I'm so tired of all these Retaliate Wars.

26. Hounds posted:

- Hound 3(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 3 to C6. Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (3base, -1mod, SHIELD2) damage! Chainmail 1st charge used! Bullwinkle RETALIATES for 2 damage! Gains 1XP.
Hound 3(E) is at 5 HP
- Hound 4(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 3 to C7. Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (3base, -1mod, SHIELD2) damage! Chainmail 2nd charge used! Bullwinkle RETALIATES for 2 damage! Gains 1XP.
Hound 4(E) is at 5 HP
- Hound 1 focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 4 to C5!
- Hound 2 focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 3 to C7. Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (2base, +0mod, SHIELD2) damage! Chainmail 3rd charge used! SPENT! Bullwinkle RETALIATES for 2 damage! Gains 1XP.
Hound 2 is at 4 HP

33. Living Spirits posted:

- Living Spirit 4(E) focuses Bullwinkle! Flies 4 to D5. Attacks Bullwinkle for 0 (2base, +0mod, SHIELD2) damage! Heater Shield SPENT!. Attacks Rocky for 3 (2base, x2mod, SHIELD1) damage! Chainmail 1st charge used! Attacks Master Splinter for 3 (2base, +1mod) damage!
Rocky is at 11 HP.
Master Splinter is at 5 HP.
- Living Spirit 3 focuses Bullwinkle! Flies 3 to D4.

Living Spirits are dangerous and annoying. With their low HP count and their moderate/high SHIELD value, they are vulnerable to massive damage, PIERCE and pure/splash damage. Being fliers, they ignore all kind of terrain; if the Elite dies where it stands, it'll drop its money on top of the obstacle, forcing our party to either deal with the obstacle itself, use a LOOT card or Fly themselves (and land on top of the stalagmite).

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

- Master Splinter uses The Mind's Weakness (top)! Augment - Persistent Bonus active: On your melee attacks add +2ATK (discard when another augment is played). Attacks Hound 4(E) for 0 (1base, NULLmod +2bonus) damage! Gains 1XP. Hound 4 RETALIATES for 2 damage!
Master Splinter is at 3 HP.
- Master Splinter uses Perverse Edge (bot)! Attacks Hound 3(E) for 2 (1base, +1mod) damage! Gains 1XP.
Hound 3(E) is at 3 HP and is STUNNED!
ICE is now strong.

87. Rocky the Savvas Cragheart (Slaan) posted:

- Rocky uses Massive Boulder (top)! Attacks Hound 1 for 3 (3base, +0mod) damage! Living Spirit 4(E), Hound 2 and Hound 3(E) suffer 1 splash damage!
Hound 1 is at 3 HP.
Living Spirit 4(E) is at 2 HP.
Hound 1 is at 3 HP.
Hound 2 is at 3 HP.
Hound 3(E) is at 2 HP and is STUNNED!
- Rocky uses Backup Ammunition (bot)! Moves1 to A7.
EARTH is now strong.

That was a lot of splash damage!

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

- The Monsters deck is shuffled!
- Master Splinter's deck is shuffled!
- ICE is now waning.
- EARTH is now waning.

Starting rooms with Hounds (and a melee comp) are often brutal...and this was no exception. Both parties are bruised and bloodied.

Yeowch. That was some bad luck for Splinter.

I think I'm going to use the axe to cleave, and then move to set up for an attack on the Spirits next round. Unfortunately I don't have any more fast cards so the Hounds could be a problem.

If you weren't aware, since Retaliate triggers after an attack has resolved, if the Hound is no longer adjacent to Splinter after an attack, like through a Push affect, then the Retaliate would not affect you. That could protect you from suffering more Retaliate with another unlucky modifier draw.

Healing is almost always better saved for transition rounds when you're looting/resting/moving up to an unopened door. Since you've got Earth this round, piling on damage may be best.

Unless healing now can either prevent damage that would trigger card loss, or substitutes for a useless action due to cards in hand. Slaan's play uses earth as a top action, so adding +1 ranged damage is his only other option (not that it's a bad option).

Healing Splinter is still great and should totally be done, but we also need to get some baddies off the board. Those Hounds are really dangerous, and the Spirits are no pushover either, as we saw.

I can't outpace either of y'all, so I'm going to go around the middle of the round. If you guys don't move then I should still be the focus of all their attacks.

# ? Jul 11, 2019 21:11

Slaan: Mar 16, 2009; ASHERAH DEMANDS I FEAST, I VOTE FOR A FEAST OF FLESH

Orders in. I'm going to do a big AoE with small damage and heal Splinter for a bit, acting moderately fast. Hopefully Bullwinkle doesn't mind a bit of mud getting splashed onto him as well

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

Yea, as long as I draw at least a 0 then I can take care of the hound in front of me, so I'd rather go for that than just shove it out of the way (I think it would probably just run back up and hit me in most circumstances anyways). Good to know that pushing disables retaliate though.

So if the spirits move to d6 and d7 I can hit all of them with my attack, giving them all muddle. It would muddle bull as well, though. But even with that our two AOEs should still be able to kill or heavily weaken most of the hounds. I can also ignore shield with my bow so the spirits are likely to die

I could also just do an equally strong attack and immobilize something so as to not slow down bull. It would give up healing splinter though. I think the aoe is more worth it though it might end up costing bull a kill or two

Nah, do the Tornado. The elite Spirit isn't moving, and the normal Spirit is moving to D6, so you can hit all but one enemy (if Hound 4 survives, you should absolutely hit that one, even though it means muddling me). It's so much damage this turn, especially if you use goggles.

The combination of retaliation, low initiative and high movement makes them surprisingly dangerous. Then they pull their multiattack or their +2 with friends cards and really mess you up.

They and the Spirits have pulled great combo cards to make this first room work. If the Spirits had gotten 0 movement and been stuck around the corner, this would feel like a very different start to the scenario.

On the other hand, we got really lucky with the Hounds' cards. Round 1 they all did small attacks on a shielded target, and this round they're going too slowly to do anything (I'd be surprised if any are alive to take a turn).

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

I should be OK, since as long as I don't pull a Null or -1 (famous last words right) I can kill the hound on me and then dance around to get a total of +3 hp back - that also means Rocky can target the tornado to not muddle Bull, so you might want to build in that contingency.

I'll lose the health I gain to the spirits right away, assuming the normal one will move forward to hit more targets, but I won't need emergency healing this round.

- Rocky uses Earthen Clod (bot)! HEAL2 Master Spliter!
Master Splinter is at 4 HP.

Just to clarify - and the reason I've used part of your contingency orders Slann (the one about "hitting the most targets possible"), you don't need to center the AOE template at the Range specified on the attack card; you just need to place one hex of the AOE at that Range; so with Dirt Tornado, you can place the bottom hex at range 2 and use the rest of the template to hit everything

54. Bullwinkle the Inox Brute (Phelddagrif) posted:

- Bullwinkle uses Leaping Cleave (bot)! Jumps2 to D6.
- Bullwinkle uses Trample (top)! Attacks Hound 1 for 4 (3base, +1mod) damage!
Hound 1 is killed!
Bullwinkle executes end of turn looting! Gains 1 coin token(s).
AIR is now strong.

Phelddagrif as per your PM, your exact execution was difficult to pinpoint before playing out the round, so I've moved your to D6 since that would put you close to both the remaining enemies, including the surviving Living Spirit, giving you a better position for the following Round. Please let me know if you'd prefer to move to C6 instead!

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

- Master Splinter's deck is shuffled!
- The Monsters deck is shuffled!
- Rocky's deck is shuffled!
~~- ICE is now waning.~~

That went quite well, all things considered...our party is bloodied, but victorious - at least for now! E: ICE should be inert instead of strong!

Both the Necklace of Teeth and the Empowering Talisman are head slot items and the previous player's loadout had the Talisman instead of the Necklace equipped...since we've just started and you haven't really used either till now, we can still swap them out (and get the health on kill) if you want to!

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.

The Spirit won't move, since it's muddled (and can't lose disadvantage by moving).

I'm assuming people are grabbing coins; I'll Skewer the spirit if it's alive and move accordingly.

You're telling me, man.

I couldn't agree more.

Wait what? I don't follow and I think my group might have been loving up a rule if that's the case.

Enemies move the fewest number of spaces possible to both
A) Attack their focus
B) Attack their focus without disadvantage if possible
C) Attack as many foes as possible

The reason ranged enemies step back is because of B. But if they are muddled, they gain nothing by stepping back and so stay put (unless stepping back lets them hit more targets, due to C)

Ah, I forgot the positioning of the spirit between the update and that post. Thanks for clarifying.

I thought there was some sub-rule I'd missed where muddled fucks with movement beyond that.
