How are we going to play turn 2 and 3?
Option a, Splinter could move to H3, use Brain Leech and Scurry to get some damage on the night demon and advantage up, before moving to H1 ready to murder the wind demon.

Or option b, we slowly make our way to H1 leaving the night demon to Lina doing basically nothing the first two turns, and we keep brain leech bottom to use in turn 3 for an extra attack 3 on the wind rear end in a top hat. We also keep scurry in our hand for turn 4+.

Thoughts?

My proposal is Cranium Overload, Corrupting Embrace, 05.

Attack the Night and move to H1, Stamina potion Embrace (and something else) to be ready for the Wind demon. I really don't want an elite Wind demon and its disarm active.

# ? Sep 23, 2020 12:23

Old Dun Cow: Sep 5, 2006

Eh, Pikachu brought Punch Through so we should be able to kill the Wind Demon next turn either way. Seems like a missed opportunity not to kill a monster when we have the chance, especially because we can negate its natural disadvantage.

Then I think we should set up to use Cranium Overload to turn the Ice Demon into cubes for some frosty beverages while everyone else focuses down the elite Sun Demon. Easy peasy!

So because I am a dumb, I'm pretty much twiddling my 6 thumbs this turn, hoping the demon dies before I have a go. I can also finish it off if need be, but I hope I won't have to as that would royally gently caress up my already terribad positioning.

Kobal2: Apr 29, 2019

Barring a Null I can deal with the Ice demon on my own, and the retaliate doesn't matter to me - I'm packed to the gills with bear heals. Y'all focus on the Sun (or prepare for next turn's onslaught)

ETA : for those following at home, TIG let me correct a small mistake and use my small stam pot to get back my two big bear punches

That Italian Guy: Jul 25, 2012; We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.

^^^ E: yes, you're good to go until StepA orders have been revealed

Fixing it now!

Can we swap where frost and sun have spawned? I think we should keep the summons away from the retaliate.

We can't due to the wording in the Special Rules section. There is a fixed order of spawns (d, then e) and a fix order of monsters to spawn (Frost, then Sun).

My thinking was that this is the right turn for Splinter to use Cranium Overload to kill the Frost Demon. There's only 3 types of normal enemies and the other two aren't as big a deal for this party. Plus, it'd be nice for Ash to be able to take a hunk out of the big hp pool of the Sun Demon. With Splinter and Lina across the room, we could probably only do about 4-6 damage, otherwise.

(Also Splinter needs to protect her kill streak)

E. Specifically, I was thinking initiative 05, Cranium Overload top to erase the Frost Demon then Gnawing Horde bottom to move to H3, then use a stamina potion to recover Brain Leech, Frigid Apparition and Corrupting Embrace to set up to soak the Earth Demon next turn.
