And in fact, you wouldn't even need to use Attack the Flank since if you move it to the tunnels, Opo's Blade of Bone will cause it to die - which also makes me realise I need to change the text on that card to read 'after an enemy disengages from you' since the intent was that any damage caused by it happened after the disengage, i.e. does not cause it to blow up on Opo.

Okay I'm blocking the Shrike. My rolls were: 2, 3, 1, 6, 4: all of which I kept. I will brand the unharmed Shrike for 2 points of damage. (1) I will use Light's Blessing to give everyone some shield. (2, 4) I will use Drawn to Light to pull the Dredge away from the Witch Hunter, delaying its attack. (3) I will put my 6 into the assist pool.

So that's the tier 1 boss which just entered the tunnels, which means subsequent enemies will be a bit harder! You seem to be on top of things though, I'm sure it will be fine  Just a reminder for spending XP - you can buy new skills for xp equal to 5 times the level of the skill, or new dice at the cost of 5xp for the first, 10 for the second, 15 for the third etc. You can also buy your other level 0 skill for 3xp if you wish.

Ok I could be wrong about how a couple things work so let me know how this looks Spend 5XP on Drain Life Soak the damage from both of the creatures (7dmg) Initial Roll: 4,6,5,4,1 4 Bandage: Heal me up for one 1 Strike: Hit the Shrike for 1dmg 6(3), 4 Drain Life: Hit them both for 2dmg, which if I'm reading that right kills them all Put the 5 in reserve. Should kill them both and I take 6dmg.

Ah sorry, I think I see how you took that from it - I'll need to rework the wording on it. Drain Life should be: "Heal 2 wounds for each enemy engaged with you. Any enemy engaged with you which has 2 or less health remaining is killed" - i.e. enemies which are nearly dead can be finished off. So Drain Life would heal you for 4 (since you have two enemies engaged) but would not kill either of them since they would both have more than 2 health left. Let me know if you want to get a different skill instead.

Opopanax takes 4 wounds from Shambler (+ 1 due to second creature) and Shrike (-2 from armour, -1 from shield) Opopanax uses Strike dealing 1 damage to Shrike Opopanax uses Drain Life healing 4 wounds 5 added to assist (I'm assuming you meant assist rather than reserve since you don't have any react abilities which use a 5?) Then Surge increases! An extra enemy is drawn. Prey-Seeker enters the tunnels SilverMike draws a card. Prey-Seeker enters the tunnels. Dredge engages Silvermike. SilverMike has the opportunity to react.

I'll spend XP for a 6th die and then react using my 2 and MTV's 6 to Knockback Shot my engaged Dredge over to MTV. 1st roll: 1-1-3-4-5-6, holding 1-1-3-6 2nd roll: 1-3, stopping at 1-1-1-3-3-6 Actions: Using 1-3 to Chain Shot at MTV's enemies: 1st Dredge takes 3, 2nd Dredge takes 2, Shrike takes 1. Using another 1-3 to Chain Shot again: 1st Dredge takes 2, 2nd Dredge takes 3, Shrike takes 1. Dredges should be dead for 4 XP, Shrike should be alive with 4 damage taken. This leaves me with a 1 and a 6, anyone have a request for my dice? I could spend the 1 to Quick Shot and kill the Shrike I just hit or spend 1-6 to Open Fire and kill anything with 4 HP remaining. If I kill a Shrike, I could also spend the 6 as a 5 to buy one of the 2 cost items or save the 6 for a future turn.

Let me know if you can think of an alternate wording that would be clearer! Looks like it might need some work. Happy to rewind a bit if you'd rather do something else given the misunderstanding. Regarding reserve and assist, the short version is: Reserve dice are for you to use later Assist dice are for anyone to use later

Ah, right. Thanks for catching that. Revised Actions: Using 1-3 to Chain Shot at MTV's enemies: 1st Dredge takes 3, 2nd Dredge takes 2, Shrike takes 1. Using another 1-3 to Chain Shot again: 1st Dredge takes 2, 2nd Dredge takes 1, Shrike takes 3. All should be dead for 5 XP earned. 1-6 remaining in my pool + a 5 from the Shrike.

I'll use the 1-6 for an Open Fire on Opo's Shrike, killing it for 6 XP total earned this turn. Then I'll use the 5-5 I've gained from killing 2 Shrikes to buy the Chalice of Penance for some self-healing via murder.

Could you possibly take one of the monsters about to murder me? Preferably the boss? On my turn I can shuffle them around some more to prevent his nasty attack from taking place. Otherwise I'll probably have to let it hit the objective.

I'm buying an extra die and the Level 1 Skill Burning Cage Initial roll was 5, 5, 4, 5, 3, 1. I rerolled the 5s. Rolled 3, 1, 5. Rolled the 5 again. Got another 5 lol. 3, 1, 5, 4, 3, 1 I'll use Drawn to Light to snag the Endbringer. [3] Cauterize to heal everyone. [3, 4] Brand to slap the Engbringer with 2. [1] Brand again to hit it again for 1. [1] 5 into the assist pool in case anyone wants to shop. e: I'm assuming that the monster's effect won't take place until my next turn, as the Endbringer wasn't engaged with me when I first rolled. Let me know if I interpreted that incorrectly.

MTV Crib Death posted:e: I'm assuming that the monster's effect won't take place until my next turn, as the Endbringer wasn't engaged with me when I first rolled. Let me know if I interpreted that incorrectly. Yep that's quite right. There was also a '1' available on your turn as an assist dice from GTR. Since it's about to be his turn, if you don't use it now it will be lost (well, rerolled on his turn) so unless you have another preference I've applied it as one more use of Brand. For everyone, make sure to check the assist dice that are available at the bottom of each update. It can sometimes make a pretty big difference! MTV engages the Endbringer MTV uses cauterise to heal all players for 1 and himself for 3 MTV uses Brandx3 to deal 4 damage to Endbringer Then Surge does not increase GTR draws a card. Leng Priestess enters the tunnels, causing Skitterling to be added to the tunnels.

Going to spend 5xp on an extra die, and 5xp on Carrion Call. I'll block the Shambler and Skitterling for 5 damage, but I have to let the Prey Seeker hit the objective  Initial Roll: 6,1,1,6,4,5 Final Roll: 6,1,1,6,4,3 Spend 5,5: Buy Tome of Mirrors 3: Good Dog==>Boss Monster 6: Use as 2 for Carrion Call==>Boss Monster (Deal 4 Damage) 1: Savage==>Boss Monster (dies) 4: Use Healing Draught on Myself to heal 3 Tome of Mirrors: Swap my Shambler with Opopanax's Shambler (it takes 2 damage) 1: Savage==>Shambler (dies) 6: Use as 2 for Frightening Howl This way hopefully there will be no new engages on Opopanax's turn and he can help clean up the last wave before more arrive.

That's some efficient murdering. GTR takes 5 damage from Shambler and Skitterling. Skitterling engages Opopanax. Prey-Seeker deals 5 damage to objective GTR kills Endbringer. All players receive 5xp GTR heals himself for 3 GTR buys Tome of Mirrors, swaps and kills Shambler. All players receive 1xp. Pyrotechnic Flintlock becomes available. GTR activates Frightening Howl.

No, you can buy them in any order if you have the xp to do so. I'll clarify that in the rulebook. Edit: The intended trade-off around that is that the higher skills (typically) require more dice to use, so if you haven't bought dice yet they can be harder to make effective - plus having to wait to buy them meaning potentially having weaker early turns if you don't purchase any lower level skills.

Oops, I realised I forgot to mention the bit where you get attacked, which would also mean that the Skitterling would move on to SilverMike. That said you can do pretty much the exact same thing regardless, so I've gone with that - let me know if you would like to change it: Opopanax takes 4 damage from Shambler and Skitterling. Skitterling engages SilverMike. Opopanax uses Bring Them To Me on GTR's Shambler, and SilverMike's Skitterling. Both take 2 wounds. Opopanax uses Strikex2 (1,6) on existing Shambler Opopanax uses Drain Life to heal 6 wounds and kill two Shamblers and one Skitterling How does that look? Same result except it also kills the Shambler that started engaged with you. SilverMike posted:Just some bookkeeping: my Chalice should be up to 4 hearts from kills now after Opo's actions go through. Thanks, I've definitely found that this stuff is a lot easier to keep track of playing it tabletop since you only have your own items/xp etc to worry about - keeping it updated for all players is kinda burning my brain.

I'll buy Hide in Shadows for 10 XP, lose 1 shield and take 4 damage from blocking the Prey-Seeker, and roll my dice. 1st roll: 3-3-3-3-3-4, keeping 3-4. 2nd roll: 1-1-2-5, keeping 1-1-2-3-4. 3rd roll: 1, ended with 1-1-1-2-3-4. Actions: Exhaust my Chalice of Penance and remove 2 hearts to heal myself for 2, bringing me to 3/8 damage taken. @ GTR's Prey-Seeker: 1-1-1 to Quick Shot three times, doing 6 damage and killing it. 2-4 to my reserve to use Hide in Shadows on my next turn. 3 to assist pool. Chalice of Penance should be at 4/5 after this turn, everyone gains 2 XP. Unless someone chimes in with ideas to change my turn before MTV posts, I'm locked in. Saving the 2-4 for Hide in Shadows will let me heal 3 damage and skip engagement checks. I'm liable to try for the 2-4 combo every turn now to keep myself clean and able to freely shoot down your monsters. And Hide + Chalice should let me tank the Prey-Seeker for a long while, so focus on other monsters first.
