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

dwarf74 posted:

The new Fantasy Setup Enhanced mod has been released including a campaign manager to easily migrate your game state from one mod to another, or to an updated version of the same mod.

Links and discussion are in the main thread.

FYI Kir won't migrate automatically but it's pretty simple to remake him in the new mod... And then he'll be able to migrate from new, to new. Fantasy Setup doesn't have support for JotL characters, but they're included in the new enhanced mod by default.

Unfortunately I'm not tracking most things in the TTS module - especially Scenario completion, character progression and items. This means the previous version becoming broken didn't affect me at all, but it also means most automation won't benefit the saves for the LP either :v:

For pasta~! CHARGE!

Frosty 5 will die from the trap, so the question is if it is better to poke it to death to keep the trap up or let it die by trap.

For what it's worth, the curse won't trigger if Letty kills frosty.

With them swinging for five but barely moving what is your plan for this turn? If Letty will be a target we should kill the ice demon to save the trap, and move away from the earth demons. Otherwise it would be nice to get a song up finally.

AtomikKrab: Jul 17, 2010; Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Letty will be a target if she stands still because of her init order. Demon can focus her and walk over and punch.

We should still kill the ice demon to save the trap though, we can survive a punch anyway, get the retaliate up and let Kir handle the demon harming, we need to get those earth demons down anyhow.

OH wait isn't it doomed anyway? its just going to loving die this turn because boris isn't using a doom anyway. we can ignore it.

I vote Move down four to a western coin, loot it put up song so kir has some nice retaliate action going on.

The frost demon should have died last turn actually since it went after us and had 1hp. I would have then voted to long rest. But yeah moving away from the earth demons and putting up retaliate song sounds good.

Edit: whoops wrong doom.

I was thinking I'd walk up to B3 and take a shot at the flame demon with the piercing bow. Hope for +1 to finish it off. Alternatively I could clog things up by moving to C3 and using the hawk helm to do the same.

# ? Apr 29, 2021 15:05

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

I can move to B3, immobilize the far demon, take a swing at the near one. I'll get punched by him but he'll eat retaliate, and with wound he'll likely die from the retaliate OR from his wound damage next turn. Meanwhile it keeps me out of harm's way from our newcomers while also getting me close enough to act on 'em next turn.

In fact, that's my plan.

We can stay put and start the song, then the frost demon will die to the trap and you'll have retaliate. If you immobilize earth demon 4, Letty will be safe from attacks.

But we've got at least one vote to skip the song and use our top action to shank frosty,keeping the trap around for when the right door opens.

I'd appreciate getting retaliate song up, Goonmind. For all we know there are fliers in the rightmost room; that trap might not be that handy.

edit: I have submitted orders. I still think retaliate song is the better play here, but I have a contingency in case you decide otherwise.

I'm using the piercing bow. It's a good way to eliminate pesky elite flame demons like that. The two damage per turn doom would take another couple of rounds to kill him off. All I need now is a +1 modifier. It's not a guaranteed shot, but it's a decent bet.

Voting to stay in place and start up the retaliate song. Then quick rest, protecting Throw Voice and Disorienting Dirge. If we reroll one into the other, That's Gloomhaven(tm). Singing Arrow is one of our only ways to get our battle goal, but Letty doesn't really need perks.

The crystal itself is actually a highly advanced computer, which holds an entire self-contained universe. If you were to look at it right now, you would see a fresh-faced party of adventurers, about to head into the Black Barrow.

I don't think any of us can use it, but I think Ice should be on the board.

Kir's use of blinding sickle generated Light, and then the Frost Demon should have converted it to Ice on its turn.

PS: Sorry, Boris; I lost track of your attack; thought I was going to be wearing both attacks that round.

Planning to take a beating by both frost and earth this round. I can tie them up for a while if you all want to focus on our new friends coming from the right.

# ? Apr 30, 2021 13:27

AtomikKrab: Jul 17, 2010; Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

#6 is going to drop from wound right?

Not sure what letty should be doing? Kir can tie up the ice demon and the far earth demon fairly easily, might be able to kill the ice demon on a retaliate this turn unless it gets a move 3 and goes for the crystal, in which case it kills itself and kir could go punch a healthier earth demon.

Maybe we should power up our heavy knife blow, stab the earth demon with it and eat the hit from it in return for bringing it closer to death while Boris shoots up the healthy earth demon that spawned in so it goes down?

Boris should probably short rest sometime soon to get his cards back, we will probably need them

init 89 Warding Dagger, Singing arrow

My thoughts are Boris dooms up demon 4, then uses press the attack and tries to get it low enough that it hopefully focuses on the trap, walks into it and dies. Kir handles frost demon, the bottom earth demon moves, and we stab it for an immobile next turn while we handle the new room

Retaliate song still the best? It's a good turn to swap if needed since disarm might be good next turn.

We want to retaliate I think to bring down the demon numbers. 56 is fine I feel, and opens us up, fast demons we lock it down and then kir can use pulls to drag it through traps next turn to kill it. slow demons we kill steal.

Hmm, Boris could stand still, doom the healthy earth demon and shoot it to wear it down
Kir could move 1, drag the ice and earth demons to himself while doing some damage (does the damage/retaliate happen before the pull or does retaliate trigger after?) Then the demons would run through traps to try to get to the crystal on their moves and hopefully die? even if it doesn't die immediately, the earth demon would only do minor damage at best because of the ice present.
