I think you are generally faster so if you don't mind stepping on the plate, I'll load up my heal for a third time and go slower than usual but not too slow.

Can you pull Ancient Artillery 2 to C9? That will force Stone Golem 3 to go C10 to attack me where the Sand Devil can get it next turn and would let Nobby kill the Artillery will also smacking the golem.

Also FairGame, I assume you will use the bottom of Aria for some defense and the top of Dirge to force the enemies to roll curses, right?

C9 isn't a legal pull; each step pulled has to be closer than the last, so in this case, the Artillery can only get pulled up through the D column.

We'll see what's in the upper room, but if y'all want to pile in there next turn I can hold the line in this room just fine and keep the golems out of our hair for several turns. They're slow, both by initiative as well as movement.

Timeworn Tomb, Mini-Update

Just a quick one today, to reveal what's inside the next room that our ~~reckless~~ brave Quartermaster is opening.

48. Nobby Nobbs the Valrath Quartermaster (bagrada) posted:

- Nobby uses Sharpening Kit (top)! Heals Kir Kanos for 4 HP. Nobby gains 1 XP!

- Nobby uses Impaling Spear (bottom)! Moves to the door hex. The door opens!

Door Opened posted:

You push through the unlocked door, arriving back at the tomb entrance, and your heart sinks at the sight of the narrow ladder leading up to freedom. You will have to escape this deathtrap one at a time.

Special Rules:
At the end of every round, any character standing on hex (a) is removed from the map and can no longer participate in the scenario. Any summons they own are also removed. If any character becomes exhausted, the scenario is lost.

Not the friendliest bunch in the final room! Still, it's not going to be easy to slip past them and have everyone make it out alive.

bagrada: Aug 4, 2007; The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

At the end of every round one person can leave... ouch. So someone will have to survive 3+ rounds of attacks. Do we have enough cards and boots to just leave 1-2-3? I've got enough move left to get exactly onto the exit but I wouldn't want to do that unless you two can follow immediately after and we'd all have to have the cards to soak the attacks. We'd also have to factor in the golems can have a pull + immobilize draw to ruin an exit.

Do I keep the shield if I move farther from Letty? Was it a one time application or an aura for that area of effect?

# ? May 14, 2022 19:55

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

No problem. I'm short resting at the end of this turn. I can eject one of the golems from the room and shut down the other. If y'all could kindly pile into the top room we'll just have 2 spirits and the golem to deal with before we've all exited.

It's an aura, so if you move too far away, you'll lose the shield.

I'll point out that while you could make it out now, the golem and spirits would end up clustered around the exit (the spirits won't move away since they have disadvantage from the Dirge).

bagrada: Aug 4, 2007; The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Both great points, thanks. I'll move to B12, the bottom left corner of the top room, to stay in range of Letty and draw the golem out of the main path. Next turn I can either stun the top golem or try to blow up one of the spirits.

I suppose it's possible I get a lousy short rest and end up short on cards, but I *think* focusing the golem is the smarter play. Kir can play around with the sand devil and his "when you get close to me, you lose 2 HP" loss card to mess up the spirits, and I can keep the 2 golems in the middle room from ever bothering us.

Timeworn Tomb, Round 7B

There's a few tough foes on the board now, but Letty's got some pretty strong defenses in place.

48. Nobby Nobbs the Valrath Quartermaster (bagrada) posted:

- Nobby uses Impaling Spear (bottom)! Moves to B12.

- Nobby loses MUDDLE.

All monster attacks will be at disadvantage, so I'll leave that part out to keep things succinct.

48. Living Spirit posted:

- Living Spirit 3 attacks Nobby for 0 damage (ATK 3, -1/-1 modifier, -2 shield).
- Living Spirit 4 attacks Nobby for 0 damage (ATK 3, +1/+0 modifier, -3 shield).

65. Stone Golem posted:

- Stone Golem 2 (E) moves to E9. Attacks Kir Kanos for 0 damage (ATK 6, CURSE/-1 modifier).
- Stone Golem 5 (E) moves to C13. Attacks Nobby for 3 damage (ATK 6, +0/+1 modifier, -3 shield).
- Stone Golem 3 moves to C9. Attacks Kir Kanos for 0 damage (ATK 5, x0/x2 modifier).

71. Ancient Artillery posted:

- Ancient Artillery 2 attacks Kir Kanos for 0 damage (ATK 4, -1/+1 modifier, -3 shield).
- Ancient Artillery 5 attacks Kir Kanos for 2 damage (ATK 4, +1/+1 modifier, -3 shield).
- All other Ancient Artillery are out of range/line of sight.

End of Round posted:

- AIR and LIGHT are waning.

That was quite the round! The players could end this in 3 rounds with some coordination (as long as the monsters cooperate!)

I think we should just control the big golem while leaving and get out now before the other golems catch up. We can have someone exit each of the next three turns. We could try to kill the spirits and big golem but by then the other golems will catch up and I dont think we can take them all. Like it will take 3 turns for the Sand Devil to get up to the spirits. So I think we just leave now and stagger our crowd controls and negate damage with cards as needed to get everyone out okay.

# ? May 16, 2022 14:14

TravelLog: Jul 22, 2013; He's a mean one, Mr. Roy.

I think leaving the Sand Devil to play keep away with the lower golems is a good idea as it gives us a bit more space to play with in the top room. As Bagrada notes, the Sand Devil is too far away from any of the top room enemies to make much difference there.

On the plus side, with Light strong, I can do some true damage to our enemies at a pretty gross range. If we can get the top room enemies to cluster up, I can also do some major damage to them in a triangle with some item assistance.

# ? May 16, 2022 14:37

bagrada: Aug 4, 2007; The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Cards submitted, I plan to go as fast as I can (doesn't approach either of your fastest speeds) to stun the elite golem then I can shove any one enemy into a clump with one of the others.

That all works fine provided we don't get immobilized by a golem. I think it's just fine but I at least want the spirits dead since they can target 2 and I think also get a stun if they have ice active.

I am going to book it into the next room. Ideally one of you goes faster than the spirits and gets to the exit. I want that person getting targeted by the spirits.

I'll check back after the card reveal but I think that's a good plan, we've got enough control between the 3 of us to hopefully keep the golem in check for a few turns. Hopefully the spirits waste at least one round cursing us. Using my boots I can get to the exit or somewhere else if needed.

Sounds good. I am not going quite as fast as I can for utility reasons (the current layout and enemy composition doesn't really incentivize what my fastest card offers), so Nobby may want to go ever so slightly slower than might otherwise be the case.

Well, that's annoying but not a disaster. I can toss cards to deal with it but it shouldn't even come to that.

How I see it (but please let me know if you have other plans or would rather do something else!)

1.) I move to F12, add a curse, and switch to retaliate song.
2.) Quartermaster stuns the elite golem, engages boots, moves to the exit. Pushes the spirit on the left to C14 for a nice stun target next turn, and the spirit on the right onto the coin so that quartermaster retains focus.
3.) Redguard moves the sand devil into the door hex.
4.) Redguard immobilizes the elite so that I'm not getting dragged everywhere, then goomba stomps the crowd of 2 on his way to the treasure chest, with boots.
5.) Both spirits focus the quartermaster, killing the left one with retaliate and dropping the right one to 2 HP.
6.) Elite golem in the middle room has no valid target.
7.) Normal golem in the middle room walks to C11, drags me onto the sand devil, doing 1 HP of damage and immobilizing me, but the sand devil can carry me to safety next turn--I should be out of the way of the middle elite as a result.

8.) I disarm a golem next turn so that we only have 1 golem damage to worry about. I can deal with the 2 HP spirit also.

So long as the golems don't get their shuffle card next turn AND draw their immobilize the turn after, this is no problem at all.

bagrada: Aug 4, 2007; The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I can stun the top golem but the bottom two will be annoying. Kir can immobilize them both then use a top move + boots to get out of range? Kind of wasting a good goomba stomping turn but someone taking two solid hits and getting pinned down there is bad too. The bottom elite can even reach the plate to stop the exit if that's its target.

My vague plan is to stun elite golem 5 then move onto the exit with my boots. I can push spirit 3 into C14 so its clumped with the golem, and optionally push spirit 4 onto E14. If you want me hanging around longer or doing something else, let me know.

edit: just saw Fairgame's reply, I'm down with that. Up to TravelLog however you wanna play it

6.) Elite golem in the middle room has no valid target.
7.) Normal golem in the middle room walks to C11, drags me onto the sand devil, doing 1 HP of damage and immobilizing me, but the sand devil can carry me to safety next turn--I should be out of the way of the middle elite as a result.

8.) I disarm a golem next turn so that we only have 1 golem damage to worry about. I can deal with the 2 HP spirit also.

So long as the golems don't get their shuffle card next turn AND draw their immobilize the turn after, this is no problem at all.

This is good, and using the sandstorm to smugly ride away while "immobilized" is choice.

I can stun the top golem but the bottom two will be annoying. Kir can immobilize them both then use a top move + boots to get out of range? Kind of wasting a good goomba stomping turn but someone taking two solid hits and getting pinned down there is bad too. The bottom elite can even reach the plate to stop the exit if that's its target.

My vague plan is to stun elite golem 5 then move onto the exit with my boots. I can push spirit 3 into C14 so its clumped with the golem, and optionally push spirit 4 onto E14. If you want me hanging around longer or doing something else, let me know.

edit: just saw Fairgame's reply, I'm down with that. Up to TravelLog however you wanna play it

I dig FairGame's plan. Let's do it.

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.
