Thanks! I sent my orders in and they should work for both A/B because frankly I don't care what my party is doing this turn - I just care what the rooms look like. I really, really hope the doors are where I expect them to be because if not

Kobal2 posted:

I mean it's not like your plan really hinges on door positioning ? The way I picture it, next turn you go Scurry/Cranium Overload and pop cloak, large stam potion to get back Scurry, Jump and Cranium ; turn after that Scurry/Into the Night, small stam potion for both back ; exact same turn next ; and finally Whatever/Cranium Overload or Frigid Apparition. That's like 20+ hexes worth of perfectly safe zipping about, and if you're feeling especially spicy you can even land a couple of smacks on some dudes somewhere in there . That's without counting boots & invisible long rest shenanigans on top of that.

EDIT : I guess what I'm saying is : Scurry is one giant bullshit card and I love it. Like, most characters have one or two lovely do-nothing top moves to enable their good bottoms. Mindthief has a "move farther than *your* fastest move, AND attack 3 AND have good init" top *as a starter card*. Even Rogue can't boast that.

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- Fixed Master Splinter's hand selection in the spreadsheet.
- Hail has 12 - 4+(2xL) - hit points. She is an ally to you and an enemy to all monster types. She acts on initiative 99 each round, performing MOVE2 towards the altar (b), opening doors and springing traps if necessary. The scenario is complete when she ends her turn in a hex adjacent to the altar. If Hail is killed, the scenario is lost.

Old Dun Cow posted:

So I think we want Splinter to tank the hits this round and pitch cards so that they have invisibility in the next room. We can throw Lina and the bear to the wolves but we want to kill the two active enemies first to protect Hail, so stick with the original plan for Lina. We should generate ice to drop a stun on the Spirits next turn and help survivability, in case we need an extra turn to win it.

Omobono posted:

E: spirit 6 in H2 please. It's one hex further from the door.

Omobono posted:

Can't Pikachu just swap Hail with anything right next to the altar and we auto-win that way? Or does she need to be alive at turn end?

Win condition says Hail reaching the altar; since altars are obstacles she can't step on it and thus reaching has to mean adjacent.

dwarf74 posted:

But I think she needs to survive? Let us know if that's a failure condition, please, TiG.

Old Dun Cow posted:

The scenario completes when she ends her turn next to the altar at initiative 99. That's why I suggest the latest possible initiative for the swap. We definitely can tank for Hail on this end but we have no idea what's through the door, so if everything goes before 87, Hail will just walk to the altar and win.

I don't know that it really matters when the cloak gets used but using it next turn could provide more flexibility. For instance, whether Splinter can land on the chest that is definitely in there or whether all the enemies walk toward the party or Splinter on their turn.

Kobal2 posted:

Hmm. That's a *mean* second room, and that surprise pop is bonkers. The least worst plan for me this turn is to let Ash roar at the Cultists then move forward and get absolutely splatted by the ghosts, right ? But it'd be cool if Lina popped some Ice Cola this turn to stun them all next turn with Cold Fire because Hail won't survive a full Spirit barrage I don't believe.

Omobono posted:

Flame Strike is range 2 though.

Old Dun Cow posted:

e. If Ash is in A2, he will take three attack 2s and the Spirits will be in H1, I2, G2 and H2 which is great for cold fire. Lina can move into the door and we should have plenty of tanking power for 1 or 2 turns if needed.

Waiting for Step B orders from Kobal2

Also, unless the majority is against it, if the Scenario is over by Round 3 or 4, I would suggest the players get another go like the last time it happened.

That Italian Guy posted:

Paging Kobal2 to the thread again

I've tried running the update with the orders you've provided, but I'm at an enpasse : the main issue is that your orders assume that the SW would focus and kill Cultist 4, while she is focusing Living Bones 8 instead. So...Cultist 4 is 99% going to be alive at the start of your Turn, making both set of orders difficult to follow through.

I've tried to figure out your intent, but I'm not sure about your order of preference on:
- who's tanking between Pikachu and Ash and
- if you want to leave hex A2 free for Hail to move into.

Initiative 20

Alternative: initiative 26 with flashing burst.

Plan: move to B1 and stun. This way we're facetanking cultist 5 while cultist 6 goes on Ash.

Am I crazy or were the cultists in the room spawned this turn?

Nevermind, I see that this was explained above.

Omobono posted:

E: I think Pikachu is acting s l o w l y this turn but those two zombies can't ever be relevant. Whatever is inside the last room still gets to act no matter what.

Kobal2 posted:

I think, just this time, Splinter should not go invisible this turn. You've got umpteen cards to bleed to nix damage. Just full on movement to control where you land/grab goodies while you're at it.

I'll act late either way.
