I think there was some miscommunication here, cause the Lurker is only going to attack Kir once and the invulnerability will block the Chainmail from triggering, leaving it alive at 1HP. Well, turns out it doesn't really matter.

Get the four coins by landing in the middle, then just position your jumps to dodge the beams, the lurker may be dead by the time you act.

Shrine of the Depths, Round 13A

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- Boris had Range4 (instead of 3) on his Attack last Round, meaning he would have targeted the Elite (that is now at 2HP), especially cause...
- Kir Kanos had SHIELD3 which means a guaranteed 5 damage on the normal Lurker (2 RETALIATE from Song +3 from Shield Spikes) for a guaranteed kill.



ROUND REVEAL posted:


I'll probably move things along during the next update, as all the Lurkers are most likely going to be dead and the Deep Terrors can't really stop Boris from reaching the end zone, since he has 8 non lost cards and a Major Stamina Potion left to tank hits and Jump to the Goal. So please let me know what the general intent is for the next 3 Rounds for your character.

PLAYER'S OVERVIEW
All the decks the players have chosen are available as a (mobile friendly) spreadsheet in separate tabs. The cards that have been selected for the current round are marked in light yellow.

I'm swapping to song of speed, swiping the rightmost coin, then maximizing XP gains, which should boil down to the passive song XP generation but I think a short rest can recover at least one bottom with XP on it.

E: I think Boris should move into the doorway and loot up to 4 coins; then move to H2 big room next round, use the stamina potion to recover the loot and jump 5 cards if needed; then jump 8 (5 + boots + song) into one of the traps next to the chest and loot to end the scenario. He should have more than enough cards in hand to tank everything.

Sounds good except I'd move to C8 next turn. We've got 6 move with speed song, 8 with boots. C8 dodges 4 attacks from the right terror (two range 3, two straight line). Going farther gets us in the range of the second two, and I think landing a jump in water takes 2 movement points?

This turn, move to where Kir is currently in the doorway then moments peace loot the coins that are left.
Next turn, flight of flame and race to the grave at 53. Jump to C8. Shoot terror 5 with race to the grave top for 2xp. Use major stam potion to get back flight of flame, moment's peace, and swift trickery. Ditch wild command to negate a 4+ hit, especially if we get wounded.
Turn after that, if not immobilized, flight of flame and moment's peace at 53, pop boots, jump 7 spaces to D2, moment's peace to grab the chest and 2 coins. Quick rest protecting nothing. Spike the football, end zone dance.

If we're immobilized at C8, then queue up fresh kill and swift trickery at 65, fresh kill shot the undamaged terror 1 for xp. Quick rest protecting nothing to get 3 cards back to survive while stuck in place, then do the chest run the turn after when we can move again.

We'll only have to survive one round of shooting, two if immobilized, since we'll act before them on the last turn and get the loot, then it doesn't matter if we drop.

From here on, it's basically a celebratory dance down the end line for our party, since the Deep Terror can't draw for poo poo (they actually managed to draw two CURSES out of the 10 in the deck) and are unable to draw their IMMOBILIZE card that would be the only real inconvenience. In the remaining 2 Rounds, this is what happens:
  • Kir Kanos gains 2XP.
  • Letty gains 4XP.
  • Boris gains 2XP, 2 coin tokens and the goal chest.
Scenario Ends!

Conclusion posted:

You grab hold of the scepter and the entire building shudders violently. A dark energy bursts forth, piercing through the chests of the monsters still attacking you. They all fall over dead and the shuddering stops.

As you get back to your feet, however, a sharp pain suddenly pierces your skull. “You have been misled,” the Voice speaks into your mind. “Do not bring that scepter to me! If you free me, I guarantee no harm will come to you. But I cannot say the same if you approach with the scepter. Whatever you think you are doing, you are wrong.”

As quickly as it came, the pain stops. You tighten your grip on the scepter and race out of the shrine, eager to bring it to the Echo Chamber and silence the Voice. (42)

I'll do votes later but I'm torn on camouflage vs inescapable fate. It was always nice to throw fate in a big hp elite stone golem then just ignore it until it dies. The toad is hilarious, I'd never seen that card.

Inescapable Fate looks like an absolute boss killer, but the class already has a plethora of strong dooms to stick on a boss plus various strong single target tops with free advantage built in. That bless chunked 14 base damage off that elite, you don't really need more dps than that.

The toad has move 1. I understand that it's perma-stun, but move 1. Meanwhile the doom on it is on the wrong class honestly, the Doomstalker has no business being a discount healer.

Meanwhile non-loss invisibility on both halves? Sign me up.

1) Kir Goomba stomping a lot of fools
2) A
- do you want to have something interesting happen Y/N?
3) Camouflage
Perk - two rolling +1 or rolling Add Target
- with Letty providing blesses I'd focus on keeping the effective size of the modifier deck constant. Add target is more effective churn and (unreliable) AoE, the rolling +1s are more single target damage.
4) Everyone's broke, Dave
5) See above

I was thinking about the top. Two dooms on a boss means a really, really dead boss very fast.

The bottom is an execute that takes two and an half turns to activate and so it seems way too slow, especially since it locks the doomstalker out of other dooms for the duration.

Available Scenario Locations posted:

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

  • The Voice has told us that if we try to bring the Scepter we got from the Shrine of the Depths into their realm, bad things will happen. If you think the Voice is lying, we can enter the Realm of the Voice (42) and be done with it.

  • If we want to return the rumbling Crystal that we found in the Copperneck Mountains to it's original place, we'll have to venture the Crystalline Cave (84). This is a side Scenario.

  • 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.

I'll third crystal chronicle spelunking (84) but we Always have time for Bullwinkle. If time is short we can just do a montage.

We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.
City Management XXV,Update 2 and Scenario 84 Preamble.
While on the Road to the next Scenario...

Road Event 42, resolution posted:



Effect: Discard 3 cards each.
Ah, we got one of those famous "Torch Thieves" events :v: (also the other option is super depressing, so I hope we never revisit this card in the LP :( I'll reveal it for the sake of completion if the thread wants me to.)

Let's examine our next destination: Scenario 84 - Crystalline Cave

Scenario 84 - Crystalline Cave - Location posted:




At least this time we won't have to trek too far away from home!

Scenario 84 - Crystalline Cave - Features posted:

These are the details we know about Scenario 84 before starting it:
Links to:None.
Requirements: Tremors (Party) COMPLETE
Goal: Kill all enemies and protect the crystal (a)
Tiles in the Scenario:

Map Layout:

Scenario 84 - Crystalline Cave - 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.
Flame Demons:

Frost Demons:

Earth 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 84 - Crystalline Cave - Introduction posted:

When the Quatryl said it would be deep in the mountains, you did not expect it to be this deep. Your journey through the Coppernecks has been long and unpleasant, following the pulses of this crystal that was attuned to lead you to the source of its disturbances. You just hope that all of this trouble will be worth it in the end.
You are climbing a particularly steep, snowcovered mountain when the crystal begins vibrating wildly, and then the earth around you begins to tremble as well. You look for more stable ground, but it is too late. The ground gives way beneath you and you slide down into a dark crevasse.
Luckily, the snow cushions your landing, and you discover that the darkness you fell into is not dark at all. Before you sits a massive crystal the same color and structure as the one you hold. A light shines forth from the larger crystal, illuminating the surrounding area. As you move closer to examine it, a group of demons appear behind you.
“My call has been answered in the nick of time.” An otherworldly voice fills the cavern. “Please, they have come to destroy me. I beg for your assistance.”

Neither battle goal is exciting for soothsinger.

Two comments, will vote later. If Letty starts at D4 that's four curses in the enemy deck from disorienting dirge. She's out front and center then though.

And I like bringing in wistful wounding for the fire elementals, is that worth it or do we rely on goomba stomps to get past shields and retaliate?

That's it! No more hiding in tomato crates! It's time to show that idiota Germany how a real nation fights!

For pasta~! CHARGE!

Checking the special rules, since the crystal has an high focus priority the fire demons need to die in one round because they're ranged.

E: and the effing thing is NOT an ally, meaning no healing.

So screw that, I'd have Letty start on the frontline with dubstep and disarm while Boris annihilates a fire demon with a doom combo. She can take an hit before repositioning.

Also, drop song of speed for nimble knife.

Omobono posted:

I was thinking about the top. Two dooms on a boss means a really, really dead boss very fast.

The bottom is an execute that takes two and an half turns to activate and so it seems way too slow, especially since it locks the doomstalker out of other dooms for the duration.

Oh, right.

I think of the top of Inescapable Fate as a part of the bouncing Doom build that becomes possible at level 8+.

He's a mean one, Mr. Roy.
I propose that Letty start at D4 and use:
  • Disorienting Dirge bottom
  • Throw Voice top to hit Flame Demon / Frost Demon in the top right. (Also I think the enemies are mis-numbered, two of them are labelled with 3).
Discards: Turning the Outcome (or Power Ballad, per the below substitution suggestion), Call to Action (or Singing Arrow, if my below substitution suggestion is taken) and Soothing Lullaby.

Substitutions: I agree with swapping Song of Speed for Nimble Knife. Also (i) Turning the Outcome for Power Ballad and (ii) Call to Action for Warding Dagger.

Battle Goal: Marksman.

Right, I'll (Boris) start on C4 and try to kill flame demon 2 on turn 1.

If Lettie's dealing with the upper right, Kir will deal with the upper left. Planning to move quickly and put some hurt on the flame demon while also tanking the frost and earth up front. If Boris can go before the flame demon to guarantee some damage, it'll be dead before it can hit the crystal.
