vulturesrow posted:I'm not sure how much table talk is appropriate but I can deal with one of any of the enemies in the staging area right now (except Uthrak) and Aragon of course is readied as well so I can cover another enemy in the encounter phase. Gloin is available to soak undefended attacks as well. If we're going to travel Mountains of Mirkwood seems logical. I can take a Forest Spider.

Unless GTR wants to play it differently, I believe the default table talk rules are that you can plan strategy etc so long as you don't mention specific cards or specific abilities (though realistically it's impossible not to do that to some extent with hero abilities). So I could say "I can take one of the spiders this turn" but not "I can take one of the spiders because X character can defend and I have Y card that can mitigate the enemy's attack".

Gravy, can you add the cards already in the staging area to somewhere in the post with the staging step? It would make it easier to follow along, especiaally later in the game.

You can talk about what's on the board, but not what's in your hand.

Ok I see. If I'm reading right, Gimli and Legolas should have enough attack to drop a spider so I'll engage the full health one.

mongol posted:Takes threat out of the staging area, so it isn't more difficult to quest. Also sometimes, like now, if we don't optionally engage monsters then they will automatically engage particular players. Sometimes you want to optionally engage so that players who are in a better position to defend get the monsters rather than those that will be engaged automatically.

Al Baron posted:Ok I see. They will, but remember that you also have to assign a character to be the defender. You could use the spearman (in which case he'd die, but you'd be able to kill the spider), or you could see if vulturesrow wants to use Aragorn's sentinel ability to defend it for you so that you can kill it with impunity - although Aragorn might be better used on the other spider.

Engagement Phase Al Baron optionally engages the full-health Forest Spider Mongol optionally engages the wounded Forest Spider Forest Spiders gain +1 ATK the turn they engage an enemy Engagement Checks: No further engagements mongol posted:I should have a resource still on Glorfindel. I'll take one of the Forest Spiders. Will fix this! Combat Phase Shadow cards are dealt to the enemies! Defense Action Queue Al Baron: Exhaust Defending character or let the attack go undefended Mongol: Exhaust Defending character or let the attack go undefended Reminder! Aragorn has the Sentinel ability, which allows him to exhaust to defend an attack against another player. This is a keyword that is bolded on the card but only explained in the rulebook. The other keyworded ability is Ranged which allows a character to attack an enemy engaged with a different player. There are others, but not in the core set.

Al Baron posted:I was thinking of using Gondorian Spearman to defend Mongol (since it has the Sentinel keyword) so it can deal 1 damage to the spider. That will allow Beravor to down it by herself and allow Denethor to use his Action ability. Then Aragorn could cover my rear end (and maybe using Protector of Lorien to prevent 1 damage.) Thalin's ability applies to those enemies revealed as a result of the Questing phase he is committed to, if I'm not mistaken

I'd save the Spearman for now. I can defend with Denethor this turn, hit with Beravor, then next turn you can defend with the spearman, and it will die before it can hit back.

Al Baron posted:Ok, that makes more sense. So vulturesrow should probably get Aragorn to defend me. That, or you could defend with Gimli, and the kill it with Legolas and the Spearman. If Aragorn defended, I could use Glorfindel to heal him, but would probably leave the damage if Gimli defended, to boost him up. I guess since Vulturesrow spent the resource to ready him, the value play is to utilize him. Either way, your spider should die this turn. mongol fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Oct 20, 2014 |

Dunhere deals 2 damage to the Hummerhorns, finishing it off! Hummerhorns is added to the Victory Display for 5 VPs Gravy Train Robber fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Oct 22, 2014 |
