Double checking, but if Splinter moves to F2 will elite 9 step on the trap to attack her?
Not that I think it's a good idea, just asking.

No, the only time a monster will step onto a trap is if any other path (given infinite movement) is blocked.

after we lit this one, nothing was ever the same
well, it looks like nobody's getting attacked this round at least. Splinter should step with Dark Frenzy BOT and then DF's attack can go on Elite 3.

The question then is whether to
- step to G2, in which case Mass Hysteria hits elites 9 and 3 and splinter takes no attacks, or
- step to H2 and have Mass Hysteria hit E3 as well as 4 and 10 and splinter takes one attack from E3
- step to F2 and hit 4 of E3, E6, E9, 4, and 10 and splinter takes one attack from E3

I'm leaning toward moving to G2 and only hitting the 2 elites.

G2 still gets attacked by Elite 3, they move 2 this round.

Given this, I'd mode to F2 and target as many skellies as possible, Splinter's modifier deck is stacked. Focus fire 3 with dark frenzy and mass hysteria; 4, 9 and 6 as additional targets.

Short rest immediately after our action, protect nothing, we may need cards in hand to lose to damage.

Anyways, Boris should be killing 5 and 1, if not this round then next one.

Yeah, Splinter is gonna take a hit from E3 if she wants to hit enemies herself. She'd be putting 4 damage before shield on #3, I doubt that'll be enough to kill her even with good pulls from her deck, but she can probably injure it enough to kill next turn.

If splinter moves closer to hit more, will that pull skels 4 and 10 up since we'll be equidistant with the pet but moving faster? And do we want that or do we only want the two elites? Lina may be effectively out two turns since she will need to recover cards next time.

An attack 1 also isn't very reliable given their shields, and healing this turn, but maybe we do want to split the crowd a bit.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Boris wants to pop skeleton 5 with the doom and the big attack and hope for a +1 roll. even if it lives it will still be vulnerable next turn to a fast attack to pop the doom and blow up skeleton 1, then one more down to get to 10.

bagrada
Aug 4, 2007

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I vote move to E2 with dark frenzy bottom, shooting #3, then use the top of the other card to plink 3 and 9, muddling them. 3 will get a hit in on us, 9 will move up a bit, 6 and 8 will be stuck towards the middle, and the normal skeleton pileup will continue thanks to stuns and low movement.

If we go to F2 instead, 4 and 10 should move up a spot towards us which we don't need yet when we can keep them where they are this turn.

We can't quick rest until after 3 hits us so we may as well wait and decide whether to quick or long rest and what to protect if anything after the rest of the turn plays out. Hopefully it won't pull a +2/x2 with the muddle.

Take care Slaan! We can finish this with the Goonmind controlling Splinter and Lina. Fitting, as they'll both retire after this, if we win :)

Actually before we proceed, I'm not sure which way to go with Splinter, since there is a three way split: Move to E2, F2 or G2?

E2 was the most recently given option, let's go with that. keeps the normal skeletons in the big room, and #4 isn't so damaged that it's likely to be one of the ten prioritized for death.

For Lina, we can cold fire using ice to stun #3, then move onto another coin, holding back reviving ether. Then we can quick rest and top ether + whatever next turn? Or should she go ahead and ether this turn? If so, do we drop the pets and retaliate spells to recover them with the revive and recast them up here, or let them keep distracting skeletons down there?

For Splinter, will depend what card we lose but we're in a spot of trouble depending what the skeletons draw next and what happens when we kill the 10th.

I think there was a mistake with Lina, she should only have two cards available right now.

She should drop both summons to be honest when Ethering, they're locked in to useless targets, for some damage prevention fodder.

Yeah I'd missed earlier that she has to use top side reviving ether now to get her lost cards back so the only question is whether to move onto a coin or stay put and use the cold fire loot 2 BEFORE casting ether to get it back right away. So I vote act at 67 with cold fire, reviving ether and the following sounds good for splinter if the cards are still there.

splinter fastest ratspeed she can go loading up empathetic assault or mass hysteria depending on what we lost in the short rest, + corrupting embrace
lina 67 cold fire reviving ether and wait to drop all 3 active spells (2 pets and retaliate) on her turn if they can be dropped at any time like my googling said they could (the steam early access game limits it to when you pick your cards for the turn).

Seems like a sensible request.

When the 10th skelly is killed posted:

As you destroy more and more of the shambling skeletons, you begin to see the faint shimmer of their souls drift toward the back of the room, where they coalesce and infuse a large pile of bones. With enough skeleton broken and crushed, the glowing bone pile begins to vibrate and move. “You should not have come here! I continue to feast on my victims even in death, but their spirits have grown stale. You wish to disturb us here? Free my prisoners from their phantasmal chains? Now those chains will bind you instead!”

Out of the pile of bones, a form begins to take shape. It is a massive collection of skulls, ribs, femurs, and others bones, which create a fearsome, six-armed beast of malice.

If that boss spawns, move 2 + heal to the upper right coin and go to town. Recover and use a stamina potion, more cards in hands = more loss fodder.

Disagree. Here's what I'd like to see:

Mindthief:
Assuming the boss has spawned by this turn (which it should have unless Boris draws a critical miss on skeleton #7),
Use the bottom of CORRUPTING EMBRACE to jump up to the boss to poison it, then back off to H2.
Use the top of EMPATHETIC ASSAULT from H2 to do a 4 damage (5 with the poison) on the boss, also conveniently disarming it.

If the boss hasn't spawned, back off to one of the coin slots and disarm elite 3.

Spellweaver:
Toss however many cards from discard are necessary to eat hits, stun 2 elites, get back all the lost cards--including the ones that were tossed to prevent damage--with reviving ether. Retaliate and summons come back before reviving ether is played.

That'll put a pretty good hurting on the boss, and also some status effects so that the mindthief can finish it off next turn. Meanwhile, spellweaver will have a ton of cards to toss if necessary to survive the next round after the boss is dead.
