I could just short rest instead and protect my move 4 cards

Reik posted:

You can only protect one card, so there's a small chance you lose one if you reroll one Move 4 in to the other.

Conclusion posted:

With the last switch depressed, the alarm finally, thankfully, subsides. The cannons’ lights go off and their guns point downward, lying dormant. The machinery sputters and dies, the cogs stopping their rotation. Within a matter of seconds, the entire chamber becomes as dead as it was before, leaving you to continue to explore in peace. Heading down a narrow passage at the back of the left room, you find the corridor descends into a pool of brackish liquid. You can see a vague light in the distance under the water. A quick swim should take you farther into this underground world. (26)

City Event 8 posted:

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- We have followed the Voice in the Echo Chamber - it has asked us to recover a hidden vessel for it, in order to be able to leave this world. The vessel is hidden in the Decrepit Wood (32). This Scenario is in the Lingering Swamp and qualifies for Master Splinter's Personal Quest

If instead we don't trust the Voice, we can try to get to the bottom of what exactly it is, instead of just meddling with powers we do not understand. Maybe we can find some more answers in the Shrine of the Depths (30)

- While exploring the Echo Chamber, we have found a map leading to an Underwater Lagoon (64) in the middle of the Misty Sea, sout-east of Gloomhaven; maybe it'll contain some treasure? This is a side Scenario.

- We bargained with a Valrath merchant and bought a scroll with the "location to untold riches" from him. These alleged riches are in the Sunken Vessel (93). This is a side Scenario.

- The Librarian, Dominic, has asked us to help him keeping up a bargain he tried to strike (for the wellbeing of Gloomhaven, of course). He wants us to get into a place called the Oozing Groove (72). Doesn't it sound lovely? Completing this Scenario will allow us continue reading the Town Records.

- We can longer follow the Drake's Request (since we have killed it); so we can't access the Savvas Armory (33) at the moment...but if we were to follow the voice in the Echo Chamber, perhaps?

- We can now access the Ancient Cistern (26) and discover what was poisoning the City well, since we have access to Water-Breathing magic!

Scenario 32 - Decrepit Wood - Creatures posted:

These are the stats for this Scenario's creatures:

These are the ability decks for the creatures we've already faced in battle before.
NOTE: these are the "in the box" cards. We normally use the app ones, that automatically make the necessary calculations for us; the various "+1", "-1", etc are to be applied to the base value for that stat on the monster card. So if the base value is "Attack 4", an "Attack -1" ability card would mean that, for that round, the monster has an Attack value of 3.
Giant Vipers

NOTE: certain monster archetypes share a common deck. The combination of unique stat cards and shared ability decks allows the game to feel even larger than it already is!

Scenario 32 - Decrepit Wood - Introduction posted:

The thick wood recedes as you close in on the location of the first vessel of the Voice. Through the trees, you see a decaying wooden structure with collapsed walls and a rot that seems to be seeping into the surrounding area. The trees and plants around the building are equally forlorn and decayed.

The Voice claims the place is home to a sect of militaristic Harrowers, highly aggressive and territorial. No one would dare get close to this area unless they had an extreme death wish. So there’s nothing left to do but kick down the door and find the vessel somewhere in the Harrowers’ coffers. Alternately, you’ve scouted a side entrance that could let you avoid some confrontation, but may lead to other dangers

Hi I am next up in the group. I've been told I am playing the Mindthief but if I could play the Doomstalker instead I would really appreciate it. It's my favorite class. However it's not a big deal and I like the Mindthief just fine.

Looking forward to murdering things with all of you!

Reik posted:

Sub in Living Torch, replacing Forked Beam Since we have the aid to the ether ally I feel like we'll mostly be using living torch's top action, and flashing burst generating light for that seems good enough to keep it in over Flame Strike? If we do bring Flame Strike though I think we should add +1 Range to the bottom attack.

Yeah, I'd rather try giving the Spellweaver a shot.

We got a lot of snakes on this here forest.

Reik posted:

If the Goonmind ends up playing Splinter, I'm gonna suggest we drop Frigid Apparition for Mass Hysteria. At this point if we're engaging something in melee it's probably going to be dead that turn, especially with Boris in the party for bigger threats, so the stun isn't as necessary. On the other hand Mass Hysteria is another source of ice generation to help with setting up Cold Fire stuns and muddling four targets averages out to about a Heal 4 in a party with no shield abilities like ours.

ROUND REVEAL posted:

Harrowers posted:

"Harrower" is only the name given to this race in the common tongue, as the name in their own language of chitters and hisses cannot be translated. A single Harrower, as typically seen by other races, is actually a swarm of thousands of insects that have formed themselves into a roughly humanoid shape. These insects merge their intelligence to form a hive mind capable of highly intelligent thought. In congregation, the insects can form sounds that roughly mirror human speech to converse with other sentient races, though among their own kind, Harrowers are more likely to converse by simply merging their forms and exchanging a fraction of their mass and the experiences it possesses.
Though not necessarily evil, Harrowers do have a poor reputation in polite society due to their nightmarish nature and unique nihilistic perspective. Their lives are at once very fleeting, due to an individual insect's short life span, and eternal, due to the swarm's persistent ever-breeding nature.
