Yes, the "initial" target hex can be empty, as long as part of the AoE hits a monster.

I would say you're good to go since we have not started the next Round, same as the Stamina Potion usage so far. Also what Phelddagrif said about the AoE targeting. Also also, since we're talking Spellweaver targeting, Impaling Eruption text says Target all enemies on the path to the primary Target but it never specifies the path has to be a straight line, so you are free to "draw" the path to the Target, in case it wasn't clear.

By the way, everyone has replied so far, so we shouldn't have any awol players; but I'm still waiting for orders from 1 player to update!

The card does not specify how to draw it so let's use some common sense.

I propose the path has to follow pulling rules, so each new hex has to be closer to the primary target than the previous one.

This has been directly addressed in the FAQ, you are free to draw whatever wonky path you want. Your proposal would seriously hinder an already lagging card

Fair enough. Bring on the trick shots.

Doesn't that mean that card then effectively reads "attack all enemies in line of sight"?

No, because you can only draw the path through 4 hexes.

Some Numbers posted:

Yeah, you have to start the path in an hex adjacent to you, and the last hex must contain the Target; that leaves you with 2 extra hexes that have to connect the first and the last one.

Ancient Artillery 5(E) is killed!
- Pikachu uses Relentless Ally (bot)! Moves5 to Pressure Plate (a).

Hey Elephant Ambush your original order (use the top of Vicious Ally as a basic ATK2 if the Artillery was still alive) is not valid, cause you can't COMMAND basic actions (since they lack the COMMAND keyword). I tried to get along with the intent (use Vicious Ally to ensure the Artillery is dead) in a similar way, knowing that only a -2 or a NULL would prevent the Artillery from dying, so we should be good

It is kinda weak without at least fire. With both elements it is insane.

By the way I missed the reason for the boots. The only thing that happened between initiative 81 and 91 was the golem faceplanting into a trap, and everything would have happened the same way.

Yeah, I don't think it changed anything. Also, there's little point to standing on Pressure Plate A, since that only holds open door #1 for other players (and I don't think anyone's coming back to the entrance area).

TIG, the bear was strengthened for its attack and should no longer be buffed.

If Megumin had killed the turret, or the bear's normal attack had done the job ; then he'd have been out of range of the golem. Depending on cards and such, the bear could have smacked the turret dead (possibly with a lucky crit), moved to the golem with its regular move and smacked it too.

Xiahou Dun: Jul 16, 2009; We shall dive down through black abysses... and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever.

O this is deeply minor and I might have even said it, but the color-scheme for the cards is super unhelpful for the colorblind fyi.

I�ve been playing the game for coming on 2 years so I could muscle through it, but the color system is useless to misleading to most colorblind people.

(Not knocking you TIG just trying to give helpful feedback ; this is quite probably the best LP I�ve ever seen. Just worried some other colorblind rando who doesn�t know the game will be confused.)

Mmm you mean in the Spreadsheet (IE: the active/current/discarded/lost color scheme)? Good call, I should probably look at some colorblind scheme to change that and update the conditional formatting to use those.

EDIT: I've tried swapping out to this palette (the one on top), it should accomodate most kinds of color blindness. Let me know how it goes!
- First color is Lost
- Second is Discarded
- Third is Active
- Fourth is Currently being played

The 4th one is a bit difficult to see, but otoh it's probably the least important out of the 4 color codes, so we should be good.
