One thing I felt was somewhat ambiguous, unless I'm reading the rules wrong, was with how Volkare explores tiles. Is he limited to the "countryside tiles have to touch a tile that touches at least 2, core tiles have to touch 2" that the players are? Or does he just plop up the next thing in the pile whenever he would move anywhere but off the side-edges?

Volkare doesn't care about rules! I suppose you could interpret a normally not-explorable tile as being "off the map shape" and move Volkare in the closest legal direction.

Asking so I don't stall the thread in my turn. What are your plans re:Orcs? I can take one with my remaining cards in two turns, with a bunch of wounds to my hand and to my unit. On the plus side I get Fireball, which is tailor-made for Arythea. If anyone can be more efficient I'll just dart forward to explore. Red gotta go fast. EDIT: Hey, look at me not seeing Tekopo's post. Question still stands.

Stelas posted:Arythea forgot her gold mana and can just power March instead. Yeah. Do something like that. Use a blue mana from the source to power up march. I'm hoarding, OK? And I have to power up Rage later on. Rules doubt: If I assign 4 damage to the Monks after an orc attack, the other 4 go through due to brutal, right? The attack doesn't count as blocked.

It doesn't help that there is no physical token difference between token and crystal, there's a few times where i had kept a red mana i had gotten for about 3 rounds because i thought i got a crystal somwhere along the way.

This. I usually use unused die for tokens and the plastic mana models for crystals, so when the expansion came up with a bunch of extra mana models I went "wow, I can finally have gold crystals, somehow". The dream was so beautiful...

I put tokens in the play area and crystals on my character card. This doesn't always help if I have to redo a turn (since I will have some former crystals on my spells, just like my tokens). Probably the best thing would be to use the provided tokens as mana tokens, and my acrylic beads as crystals.

I'm not doing so hot tonight, don't expect many updates. (For once.) Wolfhawk pops into the dungeon and encounters a Werewolf. By CO, she plays Mana Draw with her stolen die, turns a black die white, and kills it with a Swiftness and a Swift Reflexes. Wolfhawk levels and gains a skill and an advanced action. Wolfhawk draws: Refreshing Breeze: Once a round, flip to get a white crystal and Heal 1. Taunt: Once a turn, during the Block phase, reduce an enemy's attack by 1, or increase an enemy's attack by 2 and reduce its armor by 2. Wolfhawk's reward die comes up blue. She has two artifacts to choose (ha ha ha) from on her play area. Tovak's Turn By CO, Tovak pokes his head into the ruins. Orcs are on the map, below Tovak's space.  Arythea (Fat Samurai) - 5 hand, 0 deck. Wolfhawk (Bubble-T) - 2 hand, 6 deck, yet to draw, skill choice, advanced action choice, artifact choice. Tovak (Gutter Owl) - 6 hand, 5 deck. Krang (Tekopo) - 6 hand, 3 deck. Volkare - 36 deck. 4 city, 5 keep, 8 dragons, 8 orcs. Unit Offer | Fame/Reputation Track Stelas fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Oct 22, 2014 |

Anybody but the goddamn stonethrowers. No ranged attacks. Block phase. Play Cold Toughness for Ice Block 3. Block the Witches. Take four wounds from the stonethrower. Use a white mana, play Swiftness (powered) for Ranged Attack 3. Play Rage for Attack 2 (5 total). Kill the Witches. Play Instinct For Attack 2. Play Stamina (sideways) and Promise (sideways) for Attack 1 each (4 total). Kill the Stonethrowers. End turn, take prize and level.

Krang's Turn Tovak levels after taking four wounds to hand. He also picks up four crystals from the ruins. Tovak flips: Mana Overload: Cooperative Skill. Once a round, choose a colour other than gold and gain a mana token of that colour. Place this token in the middle. The first player who uses mana of that colour to power a card that gives Move, Influence, Attack or Block gains +4 to that card and returns the skill to you, face down. Determination: Once a round, draw two cards. If you are last in Fame, gain a blue mana.  Arythea (Fat Samurai) - 5 hand, 0 deck. Wolfhawk (Bubble-T) - 5 hand, 5 deck. Tovak (Gutter Owl) - 4/5 hand, 5 deck, yet to draw, skill choice, action choice. Krang (Tekopo) - 6 hand, 3 deck. Volkare - 36 deck. 4 city, 5 keep, 8 dragons, 8 orcs.

Still takes 4 physical attack to kill the bastards, and a single card spared for movement equals a not-dead stonethrower. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Alright then, crack a blue crystal to play Stamina (powered), head for the Monastery, then use a red mana dice to play Ruthless Coercion (powered) for 6 influence, use March (sideways) for 7 influence and get the the Red Monks from the unit offer. My turn is done.

Stelas posted:The game really does have it in for you guys thus far. Sweet. Truly playing to Wolfhawk's strengths here, taking another Knight's skill that I think is just better than her own. I wonder if there's some trick to taunt I don't know about (other than loading your deck with way too much block). Stelas posted:I forgot to Expansion Corner: That rock on the stonethrowers indicates that their attack is Cumbersome, allowing the use of Move as Block. To be completely accurate you can pay 1 move to reduce the attack by 1 - important if you have resistant units or to reduce wounds taken if you can't completely block the attack. Also with the new rules you can't use "left over" movement from the move phase, IIRC (but effects like the "1 bonus move per card" from Tirelessness still apply).

I believe all attack lowering stuff happens before Brutal takes effect. I'll double-check. Volkare draws a Wound and rolls blue. Nothing happens!

Play Stamina to move to the plains next to the orks. Provoke them and assign 1 wound to the monks, 2 to my hand. Power up Rage and play Promise and Mana Draw sideways to kill the orks. Level up. I can't see dropbox from work, what do we have on the Skill offer?
