- Master Splinter uses Empathetic Assault (bot)! Moves1 to F7. Door (g) closes! Stone Golem 6 suffers 4 Trap damage! Moves1 to pressure plate (c). Door (g) opens! HEAL2, Self.
Stone Golem 6 is killed! Coin detroyed by the door.
Master Splinter is at 9 HP.
- Master Splinter uses Gnawing Horde (top)! No action taken. Loses INVISIBLE token.

20. Pikachu the Vermling Beast Tyrant (Elephant Ambush) posted:

- Ash the Bear focuses Ancient Artillery 1! Moves2 to E2. Attacks Ancient Artillery 1 with ADVANTAGE for 4 (2base, x2mod) damage! Loses STRENGTHENED token.
- Pikachu uses Patch Fur (bot)! COMMANDS Ash to HEAL4, Self. Gains 1XP.
Ash the Bear is at 14 HP.
- Pikachu uses Maul (top)! COMMANDS Ash to Attack Ancient Artillery 1 for 5 (4base, +1mod) damage!
Ancient Artillery 1 is killed!

Elephant Ambush your orders assumed the door was going to be closed, so you only had a "heal bear" order in. I've used Maul on the Artillery mostly cause this will probably lead to less total damage (7+POISON vs 10 without POISON) due to the PUSH moving Ash outside of Ooze 10(s) range. Otoh this way the bear gets POISONED, so It's a difficult judgment call and I could have used the player's input on this

71. Ancient Artillery posted:

- Ancient Artillery 6 focuses Ash! Attacks Ash for 3 (2base, +1mod) damage.
Ash is at 11 HP.

He doesn't have a choice. No cards.

Bear is dead unless the slimes multiply. Leaving the door open was an extremely bad idea.

Edit: I guess you could leeroy with the boots of speed and the multitarget spellweaver card plus battle axe.

So what happens if the Bear does die?

# ? Jan 30, 2020 19:32

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

He's removed from the board and you probably lose the scenario, but magically comes back for subsequent scenarios the same way as if a hero gets exhausted in a previous scenario.

He does not have to die though and I have confidence y'all can figure this out and win.

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

Yeah if he dies we're hosed. I know that neither of you are tanks but I really need you to tank for Ash. I can't lose cards to prevent damage done to him.

I also just used my heal and I'd have to short rest to get it back, and even then all it would do is clear poison.

# ? Jan 30, 2020 19:55

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

You can probably win the scenario no matter what with a few moves :ssh:

Alternate plan: open up the last room and then step off the pressure plates to seal it. Megumin and Master Splinter loot the side rooms, then Pikachu swaps into the last room, goes invisible and triggers the "we win" button next turn.

loving cheesy, but it's a win. Looting the side rooms is probably out of the question now though.

Bear special rules card says: "A player can lose cards as normal to negate damage done to the Beast Tyrant or the bear."

Unless you mean you have two cards left and don't want to short rest even if it means losing the bear, in which case, never mind.

Backseat driver version now that you�ve submitted.

Was really hoping to see disorienting roar from the beast tyrant, and whatever the target 3 card from the spellweaver is called.

Ash moves first, kills the top ooze.

If oozes are splitting (like this turn) and thus not dangerous to Ash, disorienting roar switches the spellweaver and cannon. Patch fur removes poison.

Spellweaver target 3 with battle axe to kill the remaining 3 oozes.

Cannon ineffectively plinks at Splinter, who can handle it. Room is now cleared, bear is no longer poisoned, and only two cards lost in the process.

Hope the �disorienting roar for a quick win once the final plate is exposed� plan works too though!

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.

Some Numbers posted:

When you say "open and shut the doors", do you mean you're moving onto pressure plate D, then stepping off?

Because, well for one, the bear is standing on the doorway, and will take trap damage unless the Mindthief doesn't move.

Also, the scenario rules are a little weird here - in order to open the doors to the side rooms (i and j) a player needs to occupy pressure plate D at the end of their turn. Once that's done though, those two doors are permanently open.
