Kill then vacuum. Does the chest require an explicit loot instead of standing on it?

Decrepit Wood, Conclusion
I've examined the board again and I hope everyone is ok if we move things forward since A)there are only 5HP worth of enemies left and B)I have some unexpected extra time on hand today (and not too much tomorrow)! We'll fast forward trying to:
  • Maximize the Doomstalker XP - Splinter already has enough for her last level up, and Lina Megumin won't have enough either way.
  • Maximize gold on Boris - we are probable retiring both the MT and the SW and Boris's Personal Quest is all about the :10bux:

We need a montage posted:

That said even with Boris having a ton of cards left, he doesn't have much opportunity for XP, since every single XP generator left...is an Attack. The maximum he can get is 2XP from Race to the Grave (top) + 1XP from Swift Trickery (top) for a total of 3XP. With his LOOT1 on A Moment's Peace (bot) he can easily vacuum the coin tokens under and around the hex where Viper8 is currently standing, plus the one dropped from Viper1 and the one in the previous room, for a total of 6 coin tokens.

I'll keep Master Splinter and Lina Megumin Inverse's XP calculations quite simple: I'll award them the XP from the non attack cards they have left, without repetition. So Splinter gets 3XP and Lina Megumin gets 2XP.

Looting the Goal chest wins the Scenario!

Scenario Ends!

Conclusion posted:

The Harrowers proved quite difficult to take down, but in the end they fell just like any other foe. Feeling the rot of the place seeping into your bones, you hurriedly ransack the dwelling and locate the small earthen pot shown to you by the Voice. When you pick it up, the Voice fills your head. “Good! Yes, excellent! The infesters were but one guardian employed to block my passage. I give you now the second location. (33) Please bring the vessels back to me. I will reward you greatly.” (40)

Updated Sheets

Our heroes are back in Gloomhaven. While they're in the City, something happens...

City Event 8 posted:


Let's discuss where our party should head to next! Since we've unlocked a bunch of stuff, I'm going to use a new app to show the Scenario Tree, since it provides some extra info on Campaing progression (IE: which Scenarios are part of which storyline) and it's more estetically pleasing


NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects).

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- If we want to follow Master Splinter's Personal Quest, we'll have to venture into the Fading Lighthouse (61) and follow its plot to conclusion!

- If we want to free the Voice we can now access the Savvas Armory (33) to reclaim its vessel!

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

- We can't go here...yet. But if we complete the Voice's request and find its vessel, we can try to free it facing the Ancient Defense Network!

- As suggested, we could also try any Scenario we've unlocked (including ones we've already faced) in Casual Mode. Players can still gain experience and money, loot treasure tiles, complete battle goals, and make progress toward completing their personal quests, but any story text or rewards listed at the end of the scenario are disregarded. Contrary to normal game play, we'll encounter City/Road events in Casual mode as well - to make things easier to manage and display more content. If we pick Casual Mode I'll add something to spice it up.

YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices):
- MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario 32!
- City Event outcome, A or B!
- Our next Destination!
- Master Splinter: NEW CARD and 2 NEW PERKS. The list can be found in her character's sheet just above. These are the cards available to pick from:

- Lina Megumin Inverse: NEW PERK. The list can be found in her character's sheet just above.
- Money matters! Please specify if you want someone to buy/sell an item; the current Market pool is available HERE. Also, please if you want someone to donate 10 gold to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary, please remember to specify who!
- If you are planning an Enhancement, you can find the rules on how to calculate the price HERE.

A big thank you to our players Zulily Zoetrope and Elephant Ambush - and of course to The Goonmind! Hope you had fun. I'll reach out to Narsham and Ripley to let them know they're up next - and to DarthRoblox and Car Hater as potential subs.

Strong disagree here. Expose gives Boris advantage against Doomed enemies which means he pretty much has advantage the whole scenario. Once we get Darkened Skies I would lobby for a Hawk Helm to increase the range.

Votes so far posted:

  • MVP/Play of the Game: Lina Megumin Inverse is very clearly the favorite to win so we're calling it early! :agesilaus:
  • Our next Destination: we're going to the Fading Lighthouse (61) to progress our MT and SW's Personal Quests.
  • Master Splinter: Splinter's new card is going to be Shared Nightmare:

    Her new Perks are going to be 2xRolling+1 and Rolling Disarm & Rolling Muddle.

  • Lina Megumin Inverse: her new Perk is going to be +1 Curse.

  • Money matters Splinter and Lina both donate 10g to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary (61 and 50g left, respectively) and receive 2xBLESS for the next Scenario! We are unsure if we want Boris to spend any of its money or not, so we're going to vote on several things before the next update (if we want him to donate, buy a Piercing Bow or the Eagle-Eye Goggles and Enhance one or more cards).

City Event 13, resolution posted:



Effect: -3g each, everyone start with 1xBLESS.
It's a good time to remember that there are only 10x Player BLESS cards (and 10x Monster BLESS) in the box, so we are at 7/10 right now. If we run out of cards of a certain type it's not possible to add them anymore until they are returned to the box!

Scenario 61 - Fading Lighthouse - Features posted:

These are the details we know about Scenario 61 before starting it:
Links to:Pit of Souls – #62
Requirements: “The Fall of Man” personal quest
Goal: Loot all treasure tiles
Tiles in the Scenario:

Map Layout:

Scenario 61 - Fading Lighthouse - 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.
Oozes:

Giant Vipers

Frost Demons:

Flame Demons:

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 61 - Fading Lighthouse - Introduction posted:

You knew it would be in the Lingering Swamp—you have a sense about these things. You didn’t know what you were looking for, though, until you saw it—a lighthouse on a distant shore, calling to you with its beam. You had looked away for a second to get the attention of a companion, and when you then turned back to point, the lighthouse was gone. Most people would have written off the experience, claiming they were seeing things, but you knew it was a sign. You knew you would find the lighthouse again and, with it, the answers you seek. It took a bit of coordination, but now here you stand on the southern cliffs overlooking the Misty Sea. Before you, an antiquated lighthouse fades in and out of sight, somehow caught between two planes of existence. The building was clearly made by those who came before. You enter it without hesitation, knowing that this place’s unique condition is the key to your search. You need to find some documentation of what happened here— journals, notes, letters, any clues you can uncover.

Scenario Special Rules
The monsters in the scenario are split into two groups. Oozes and Giant Vipers constitute “Group 1.” Flame Demons and Frost Demons constitute “Group 2.”
During all odd rounds, starting with the first, only Group 1 monsters activate and can be affected by abilities. During these rounds, Group 2 monsters do not activate and are unaffected by all abilities. All figures can move through hexes containing Group 2 monsters, but cannot end their movement in those hexes.
During even rounds, the exact opposite is the case. Group 2 monsters act normally, while Group 1 monsters do not activate and are unaffected by all abilities. The treasure tiles can only be looted using a Loot action. They cannot be looted by normal end-of-turn looting.


Players spaw tiles are marked with the Entrance token.

DarthRoblox and MarquiseMindfang please provide:
1) Your hand selection for this Scenario (please specify what you are removing and what you are adding).
2) Your starting location. You can freely discuss this itt.
3) Your step A orders and initiative.
4) Pick one of the Battle Goals provided in the PM.

The Goonmind (controlling our Doomstalker) should provide the same, but choose between these two Battle Goals:
- Hunter*: Kill one or more elite monsters during the scenario. Rewards:✓
- Pincushion: Get attacked by three or more monsters in the same round. Rewards:✓

You can consult the (mobile friendly) spreadsheet to see which cards are available and decide your next moves.

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.
Since we need to loot four chests, all of which require Loot actions, we should make sure to bring enough non-loss Loot cards (and keep at least one until the end).

1. Boris's current hand is good.
2. Doesn't matter to me where Boris starts, we have a long range so we can hit most anything.
3. Swift Trickery + Rain of Arrows (11)
4. Hunter, should be easy for Boris.

after we lit this one, nothing was ever the same
This is an Odd Round, so the demons do not exist and do not activate!

This makes the doomstalker slightly awkward, as dooms are banished to the shadow realm for half of the turns (depending on the specific wording of Race to the Grave, it might function on off turns?).

So... Doom the far elite snake, hit it from where we stand? Or is it better to lay into an Ooze?

We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.
Adding a visual aid to better remember which monsters are phased out during each round:


"Phased out" monsters are immune to abilities, so Race to the Grave does not affect them in the Round they are phased out. I would also add that status effects (IE: Stun) do not run their course during the Round they are phased out. Since they can't be attacked, I presume they can't be targeted, so summons will not focus them.

NO ONE SPOIL GAME OF THRONES FOR ME!

IF SOMEONE TELLS ME THAT OBERYN MARTELL AND THE MOUNTAIN DIE THIS SEASON, I'M GOING TO BE PISSED.

BUT NOT HALF AS PISSED AS I'D BE IF SOMEONE WERE TO SPOIL VARYS KILLING A LANISTER!!!


(Dany shits in a field)
I suppose Boris should focus the snake number 10. It's an elite and very close. Doom it and shoot it good.

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.
A few suggestions:

Splinter should use Invisibility Cloak. By default, she's going to be attacked by 3 Oozes and 2 Vipers this round. Invisibility won't stop any of those attacks, but it will spread them across Lina and Boris (and Lina won't be poisoned, so the normal Ooze attacks will be weaker).

Boris should doom and attack a normal Viper, in an attempt to kill it. We're collectively taking 6 attacks this round, so eliminating one of them will be a big help.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Splinter can stun the elite snek, then boris focus fires on the normal to kill it's rear end. Lina when she goes can fireball something. Then next turn lina needs to go super fast and use the ice and fire before the demons do.

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

- ICE is now waning.
- FIRE is now waning.
"Scenario Special Rules
The monsters in the scenario are split into two groups. Oozes and Giant Vipers constitute “Group 1.” Flame Demons and Frost Demons constitute “Group 2.”
During all odd rounds, starting with the first, only Group 1 monsters activate and can be affected by abilities. During these rounds, Group 2 monsters do not activate and are unaffected by all abilities. All figures can move through hexes containing Group 2 monsters, but cannot end their movement in those hexes.
During even rounds, the exact opposite is the case. Group 2 monsters act normally, while Group 1 monsters do not activate and are unaffected by all abilities. The treasure tiles can only be looted using a Loot action. They cannot be looted by normal end-of-turn looting."
