Slaan: Mar 16, 2009; ASHERAH DEMANDS I FEAST, I VOTE FOR A FEAST OF FLESH

I'm grabbing the chest this turn and already looted a good amount of stuff so I'm good to wait for you guys to get more if you'd like. No more than a couple turns though IMO, so we don't lose spectators

Ruinous Crypt, Conclusion

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- None!

I'm going to cut this very short, since it's mostly going to be looting and farming XP

Ruinous Crypt, Round 14 posted:

- Master Splinter: Fearsome Blade, Empathetic Assault. Moves4 to L2, Empathetic Assault on bones putting it at 1HP. Gains 4 XP.
- Pikachu : Ahs kills the Living Bones. Patch Fur, Vicious Ally: Heal the bear for 4 and summon the swamp alligator. Short rest, protecting Soaring Ally. Gains 2 XP.
- Lina Megumin Inverse: Long Rests.

Well, that was shorter than expected
Scenario Ends!

Conclusion posted:

With the cultists and their minions dead, it seems the dark rift is now dormant. It is no less disconcerting, however. You toss a rock at it, and the rock disappears into nothingness. You must admit that you wonder whether you could enter the rift yourself and whether you could survive the trip to wherever that rock ended up. (10)

Alternately, finding some way to close the rift is probably the more prudent decision. There is an Aesther enchanter in Gloomhaven who may know more about this inter-planar stuff. She�s been known to ask for impossible favors before she helps anyone, though. (14) (19)

Rewards posted:

New Locations:
- Plane of Elemental Power (10)
- Forgotten Crypt (19)
Scenario Rewards
- None!
Victory Rewards
+8 XP each.

The way certain Scenarios are unlocked is a bit misleading. This Scenario unlocks 14 and 19, for example, but we need to complete 14 before being able to attempt 19. We hve already beaten 14 (The Frozen Hollow), though, and got the global achievement THE POWER OF ENHANCEMENT, so we are free to undertake 19 right away, if we want to.

Battle Goals posted:

These are the Battle Goals that have been picked by our players for Scenario 5.
- Master Splinter: Thorough - Never exit a room with monsters remaining in it. MarquiseMindfang has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +1 Checkmark. +1 PERK!
- Lina Megumin Inverse: Ambusher - Open a door and end your move action adjacent to a monster in the revealed room. Slaan has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +1 Checkmark.
- Pikachu : Miser - Never exit a room while money tokens remain in it. Phelddagrif has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +1 Checkmark.

Not too shabby, Pikachu had the easiest achievement of their life.

Final Stats posted:

Final stats after Scenario 5are as follows:

Each coin token at Scenario level=2 is worth 3 gold. Updated $$$ and XP for our party are as follows:
- Master Splinter: +16XP. (New Total 263XP) and +36 gold (New Total 104 gold).
- Lina Megumin Inverse: +19XP. (New Total 155XP) and +27 gold (New Total 48 gold). Lina Megumin Inverse has enough experience to advance to Level 2!
- Pikachu : +22XP. (New Total 207XP) and +9 gold (New Total 38 gold).

Updated Sheets

Pikachu, grinding like a mad-ratman, is only 3 XP shy of Level 5 already.

Personal Quest progression posted:

- Master Splinter: None!
- Lina Megumin Inverse: None!
- Pikachu : None!

This section is going to be a bit barren, since 2 of these PQs are progressed/completed in between Scenarios and the third one is map dependant. It's definitely too early, but if and when we think this has become stale, we can try and address that to move things along.
Our heroes are back in Gloomhaven. While they're in the City, something happens...

City Event 1 posted:

Tavern Brawl? Or are we the respectable people?

YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices:
- MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario 5!
- City Event outcome, A or B!
- Master Splinter: NEW PERK. The list can be found in his character's sheet just above.
- Lina Megumin Inverse: LEVEL UP! This means a NEW CARD and a NEW PERK. The list can be found above.

- Money matters! Please specify if you want someone to buy/sell an item; the current Market pool is available HERE. Also, please if you want someone to donate 10 gold to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary, please remember to specify who!
- If you are planning an Enhancement, you can find the rules on how to calculate the price HERE.
At this time PLEASE DO NOT VOTE TO CHOOSE THE NEXT SCENARIO. As said, we'll stagger the vote to allow everyone to participate

-MVP: Lina blowing up three elementals
-City Event B we've got no Inox in the party
-Megumin's Perk: +2 / element, ICE if you need a tiebreaker

Is there any interesting enhancement available for Pikachu? I was thinking maybe boosting a command attack.

oh man, forked beam, one of the most disappointing level 4 cards in the entire game.

And it's probably the best choice now among several double-losses and a really conditional thing because it's still a 20-initiative Move 4 at least.

Omobono posted:

Not really, though they might after the next scenario.

The class doesn't have many stand out enhancement options, though there's a good one coming up at level 6 (Strengthen on the bottom of Blood Hunger, essentially an upgraded version of Patch Fur).

+Jump on one of the Command Moves (Howling Bolts bottom or Forceful Swipe bottom) would be the pick of the cheap enchants, and could probably be done after the next fight.

Forked Beam actually owns because it's a reusable move 4 at initiative 20 on a character with a lot of slow cards, and this will be her second fastest card. The top sucks but it's not a loss. It's a longevity increaser.

City Management XIV, Update 1

- Fixed Pikachu XP and checkmarks

Votes so far... posted:

- Master Splinter's PERK: Replace 2 +1s with 2 +2s! Splinter's deck is seriously stacked now:

- Lina Megumin Inverse's PERK: Remove 4 +0s. Lina's deck is not as stacked, but it's also mostly positive:

- Lina Megumin Inverse's CARD: Forked Beam:

- The disappearing Cloak: everyone has voted for Lina to buy a Cloak of Invisibility, but they are currently sold out! Our 2 vermlings own the only two available in Gloomhaven.
- Blessed Rat-thing: Splinter enhances the bottom of Empathetic Assault by adding Bless to the Self HEAL. It's a real steal, for only 50g! Now her deck is even more stacked.

City Event 1, resolution posted:

Effect: Gain 10XP each, then lose either 5 gold each or 1 reputation.

The good news is that Pikachu is now Level 5! The bad news is that we either lose 5 gold each or 1 rep; also, we are now deeply into Scenario Difficulty Level 3! These are the cards available to Pikachu:

Let's discuss where our party should head to next! Since we've unlocked a bunch of stuff, I'm going to take advantage of a nice webapp called Gloomhaven Scenario Tree that allows us to keep track of everything we've completed, unlocked, lost access to or currently unable to visit. If you want to import the current progress into your webapp, just copy/paste the content of Cell F2 from the "Player List" sheet.

NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects).

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- We have discovered a portal to a mysterious Plane of Elemental Power. We may want to ask Hail for help closing it before something bad happens and brave the Forgotten Crypt (19).

- Or maybe we just want to jump through the portal and see what the Plane of Elemental Power (10) is about?

- We forgot we had somehow found the route to a pictoresque place called the Burning Mountain (82). Vacation time? (this is a Side Scenario)

- We may want to go back down the Mountain and investigate this...voice in the Echo Chamber (24) before leaving.

- We may follow the Drake's Request and storm the Savvas Armory (33) to recover its fire gland.

- Or we may want a piece of that sweet sweet ~~Dragon~~ Drake Hoard and try to take it by force on the Scorched Summit (34). This is a BOSS Scenario.

- We have been helping Jekserah against the Cult, but who's to say we can't spread out our love to every single necromancer in the land? If we want to gather favour with the Cult, we can try to clear up the Decaying Crypt (6) from the masterless undead that currently reside there.

- We can now access the Ancient Cistern (26) and discover what was poisoning the City well, since we have access to Water-Breathing magic!

- If we want to do the same but take the long way to get there, we could venture down into the Deep Ruins (23).

- As suggested, we could also try any Scenario we've unlocked (including ones we've already faced) in Casual Mode. Players can still gain experience and money, loot treasure tiles, complete battle goals, and make progress toward completing their personal quests, but any story text or rewards listed at the end of the scenario are disregarded. Contrary to normal game play, we'll encounter City/Road events in Casual mode as well - to make things easier to manage and display more content. If we pick Casual Mode I'll add something to spice it up.

Wherever we're going, we'll have to get on the Road to get there!

AtomikKrab posted:

Theoretically yes, though it's not as useful as it looks. Since it can't move, it won't do much in scenarios that require moving from room to room (which is most of them!) Also, the bear will often draw aggro that you would want directed at the monolith, since summons act in the order they were created.

City Management XIV,Update 2 and Scenario 34 Preamble.

Vote result posted:

Our MVP for Scenario 5 is Lina Megumin Inverse, as piloted by Slaan
- Tavern Brawl outcome: we will lose 5 gold each!
- Pikachu's new PERK and CARD: Replace +0 with +2 and Rampage!
- Money Matters: the only item with more than 1 vote is for Lina to buy the Goggles - although selling the Drakescale Helm only has 1 vote in support, so for now we'll keep both. The player controlling Lina will have to choose which one to bring before the start of the Scenario, and we can decide to sell the Helm if we want to afterwards. (-30 gold - current gold: 18).

Road Event 46, resolution posted:

Effect: ???

I'll link to this totally unrelated piece of paper that is somehow in the box (I've also added it to the OP):

Mmm mysterious...could this be part of something bigger?

Let's examine our next destination: Scenario 34 - Scorched Summit

Scenario 34 - Scorched Summit - Location posted:

At the very top of the Copperneck Mountain ~~Smaug~~ the Elder Drake sleeps.

That looks like a rather large Drake.

Scenario 34 - Scorched Summit - Features posted:

These are the details we know about Scenario 34 before starting it:

- Links to: Icecrag Ascent (24)
- Requirements: The Drake�s Command (Party) COMPLETE and The Drake Aided (Global) INCOMPLETE.
- Goal: Kill the Elder Drake.

Tiles in the Scenario:

Map Layout:

That's it. This Scenario is one room long. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about

Scenario 34 - Scorched Summit - Creatures posted:

These are the stats for this Scenario's creatures:

These are the ability decks for the creatures we've already faced in battle before.
NOTE: these are the "in the box" cards. We normally use the app ones, that automatically make the necessary calculations for us; the various "+1", "-1", etc are to be applied to the base value for that stat on the monster card. So if the base value is "Attack 4", an "Attack -1" ability card would mean that, for that round, the monster has an Attack value of 3.
Rending Drakes:

Spitting Drakes:

Boss:

NOTE: certain monster archetypes share a common deck. The combination of unique stat cards and shared ability decks allows the game to feel even larger than it already is!

Zephyrs are not really monsters and while they have a stat block (described below) as clarified by Isaac, they cannot be affected by any ability, and summons do not focus on them.

Scenario 34 - Scorched Summit - Introduction posted:

Standing before the great, proud drake, you see nothing to discuss with the monster. If it wants your help, it is certainly for a nefarious purpose. The drakes you�ve met previously certainly haven�t been very kind. You ready your weapons with determination.
�So, it�s to be that way is it?� The drake sighs. �Well, I suppose I could eat, if you insist.� It takes in a deep breath.

Scenario Special Rules
The Elder Drake occupies all three hexes of the obstacle it is on. If a figure can target any one of these hexes, they can target the Elder Drake, and the Elder Drake can use any of its hexes to determine what it can target. The Elder Drake cannot be forced to move or change positions in any way. The huge boulder obstacles cannot be destroyed.

BOSS Special 2
The Elder Drake summons two Zephyrs, represented by ~~numbered~~ tokens, then flies to the next perch of boulders in the order of (a), (b), (c) and then back to (a). Zephyrs cannot be damaged in any way. They perform �MOVE2, ATK(3)� immediately before the Elder Drake�s turn every round.

The good thing about this, is that numbered tokens (which is what the Scenario book is calling what the Rules book calls "objective tokens" instead) are limited. The bad news, is that there are 12 of them

Players spaw tiles are marked with a STRENGTHEN token.

Xiahou Dun, Eeepies and Kafila please provide:
- Your hand selection for this Scenario (please specify what you are removing and what you are adding, if you change something);
- Pick one of the Battle Goals provided in the PM;
- Your starting location. You can freely discuss this itt.

I think that depends on what we want to do first - I'm assuming we just want to try and burn down the Elder Drake as fast as possible. Obviously the little drakes are going to mess with that plan!

What do you all think? Try and burn down the little drakes first, or ignore them and go for the Elder Drake first?

As for starting locations I was thinking of sticking Ash close to our chosen target, so he can go all Angry Bear on it!

Focusing on the Elder Drake and burning it down ASAP is a very good strat here. That doesn't mean completely ignore everything else to the point of potentially risking the success of the scenario but it's what most people tend to do.

Question: if you hit the boss with something like Cold Fire, do you get to attack it once for each hex hit or do you only get one attack out of it?

Just the one attack.

So my first draft of orders is "go hard let's gently caress up this dragon as quickly as possible, also let's not stand next to each other so we eat an area attack". Probably starting in L3.
Thoughts?

That's what I thought but I was just confirming.

We'll have to find a new guitarist.

Spellweaver reporting.

So this is a straight up damage race, isn't it? I'm probably going to use my first turn to walk within 3 spaces of the boss and start poking him while setting up for the next round. I have nothing with 4 range, so I'll start in any of the backrow 4 options, walk 2 spaces forward, and attack I think.
Are we just focusing the boss down without caring about the rest of his flunkies?

That's my reading, yeah.

Not quite "ignore" the other drakes but they don't actually help us win so we should be at most managing them so we can survive long enough to murder Legally Distinct From Smaug.

Your plan sounds good and I'm gonna do a similar thing.

Picking my cards was some total Sophie's Choice poo poo, but I did it.

I'm starting in the front line and coming out swinging hard going after the Big Boy.
