By CO, Tovak Marches into the city, lays down Mana Draw and Concentrate sideways to get to 5 block, then uses a red dice from the source to power Rage up to Attack 4. Add in the 2 Ice Damage and the gargoyle's dead.

Then he pops a Ruby Ring and ends turn.

I'll use the white die to power Song of Wind, and along with Frost Bridge and a sideways Training, move SW SE SE next to the ironclads and insult their mothers.

Get punched in the face for 2 wounds, then use my Golems and Utem Guardsmen to kill them, along with my freezing power.

Put Banner of Fear on the golems and Banner of Protection on the guards, hand Goldyx my wounds and level.

Arythea levels and also hands off a Wound to Goldyx.
Arythea gets an Advanced Action and a skill; she flips Dark Negotiation (Once a turn, +2 Influence at day, or +3 Influence at night) and Dark Paths (Once a turn, +1 Move at day, or +2 Move at night.)


Arythea (Istvun) - 1/6 hand, 3 deck, yet to draw.

Dark paths would be good if I wasn't almost done moving or if there were any good advanced actions in the offer.

Instead I'll grab Green Crystal Craft out of the common offer.

Arythea takes Green Crystal Craft and is restricted to taking Magic Talent from the offer.

In the middle of her draw, Long Night activates, shuffling and drawing 3 cards from her discard to her deck.

By CO, Norowas Mana Searches then powers Tranquility to draw 2.

Maximal Effect does indeed trash cards en masse. Which is not to say it isn't useful, especially late-game...

maximal effect is fine, but I don't see a way for me to get a half-decent effect out of it before the game ends.

My head hurts from doing so much math now.

Norowas

No move

Interact, taking the -3 Influence penalty.

Break open Amulet of Darkness (powered) for three white tokens. Spend white token to play Noble Manners (powered) for Influence 4 (1 total). Spend red token to play Improvisation, discarding Stamina for Influence 3 (4 total). Spend a token, play Learning (powered) for Influence 4 (8 total) and the powered effect.

Play Rage and RageDetermination (sideways) for Influence 2 (8 total). Recruit Ice Golems.

End turn, gain +2 fame and +2 reputation. Level up.

Potentially a silly question, but where did the red mana come from?

Or was that actually unpowered?

Stelas

Influence 3 would be an unpowered.

Unpowered.

But while we're noting this, I'd like to play Determination sideways in place of one of the two Rages I initially played.

God damnit. I had a PLAN, and it was SIMPLE, and it WORKED and now I need to do something way more complicated. Thanks for nothing, assholes.

Play Magic Talent discarding Mana Draw March to be able to cast meditation. Cast Trance, using the source and a token from flipping Green Crystal Craft to bring back Crystal Mastery and Call to Arms.

Play Steady Tempo and Pure Magic (sideways) to attack the mage tower. Tank the hit with the guardsmen and use the catapults and Determination to finish them off. Grab Wings of Wind.

Put Steady Tempo on the bottom of my deck.

Net gain: +1 blue crystal

Norowas' Turn

Arythea does all that crap.

Norowas...

quote:

Start of turn: Mana Search away any Gold, Green, and/or Black, in that priority order.

[...]

Otherwise, if the source has a white or two blue:

Play Mana Draw--either powered to turn a Green/Black/Gold into a blue and two blue crystals, or unpowered to take two blue dice. Play Stamina (powered) to move onto the spawning ground. Challenge spawning ground. No range, no block. Assign damage as follows.

Medusa: Intercept with Illusionists (killing them), then Ice Golems (unscathed).
Any non-Medusa, non-Werewolf: Intercept one with Guardian Golems.
Two Werewolves (hey, could happen): Intercept one with Guardian Golems (wounded), then Illusionists (unscathed).
Remainder hits me for wounds.

Then, use blue to activate Ice Golems for Ice Attack 8 with Leadership. Play Rage for Attack 2. Combine and kill all enemies if possible. (Should be able unless I draw a Crypt Worm.) End turn, collect rewards as appropriate.

The spawning grounds roll up a Medusa and a Werewolf. The Illusionists, having physical resistance, can block the Medusa's 4 damage entirely. Then the Golems block most of the werewolf and take a wound and the Ice Golems take the rest, left unscathed.

Norowas' crystal reward rolls blue, white, and gold. Norowas gets to pick one crystal colour. He has two artifacts on his card to choose from.

Goldyx's Turn


Arythea (Istvun) - 7 hand, 0 deck.
Norowas (Gutter Owl) - 2 hand, 0 deck, yet to draw, artifact choice, crystal choice.
Goldyx (Impermanent) - 8 hand, 3 deck.
Tovak (HOOLY BOOLY) - 6 hand, 0 deck.

Medusas have 6 damage, not 4 - so Norowas' Guardian Golems are not wounded, because they help out with the medusa, and Norowas takes the 2 wounds from the werewolf.
