I should point out that you don't HAVE to open the door ASAP. The goal is to kill 15 enemies, and it might be easier and safer (though, more boring) to take down a steady stream of normal guards, rather than hunting for whatever unknown enemies might be waiting for you in the other rooms.

Not to dissuade anyone - just pointing out the possibility!

I've played this scenario multiple times with different groups and we always did it this way and never had any major problems. It's really :munch:

to me to see this group doing something different. I'm hoping to learn something!

15. Inox Guard 1(s), 3(s), 4, 5(s), 6 posted:

- Inox Guard 1(s) focuses Bullwinkle! Gains SHIELD1. Attacks Bullwinkle for 3 (2base, +1mod) damage.

Rocky is at 3 HP and is POISONED!
- Inox Guard 5(s) focuses Bullwinkle! Gains SHIELD1.
- Inox Guard 6 focuses Master Splinter! Gains SHIELD1.

Well this is definitely not good for our party! The positive streak for the Monsters attack modifier deck continues.

- Master Splinter uses Feedback Loop (bot)! Jumps 4 to E4.

Inox Archer 2 is killed!
Master Splinter executes end of turn looting! Gains 1 coin token.

Zulily Zoetrope, your original order was to move to F4, but that's the hex Bullwinkle is in...I assumed you meant E4? The font I've used for the lettering makes E and F look very similar, unfortunately. I'll try to get an higher resolution "tile with coordinates" next time, not sure why there was that much quality loss in the process (if you look closely, you can spot the border of the smaller rectangular tile - the one with the coordinates on it, that I had to create for this - on top of the regular room tile.)

29. Rocky the Savvas Cragheart (Narsham) posted:

- Rocky uses Rumbling Advance (bot)! Moves 2 to G5. Bullwinkle suffers 1 damage.
Bullwinkle is at 2 HP and is POISONED!
- Rocky uses Earthen Clod (top)! Attacks Inox Guard 1 for 2 (2base, +1mod, SHIELD1) damage! Gains 1XP.
Inox Guard 1 is at 4 HP and is IMMOBILIZED.
EARTH is now strong.

Narsham your movement order was invalid: "Move 2 to G5, dealing no damage and putting Earth to strong at EoT" but you can't ignore effects that when performed will (not may) reduce hit points, lose cards, or apply a negative condition to yourself or an ally. You could avoid the damage to Bullwinkle if you use a basic MOVE2 instead of the action on the card, but at that point EARTH will not be strong; or you can leave things as they are. Please let me know which option you prefer! Not sure why the initiative order got scrambled, Bullwinkle has 27 and Rocky has 29 so no damage done!

27. Bullwinkle the Inox Brute (Ripley) posted:

- Bullwinkle uses Grab and Go (bot)! Moves 3 to G2
- Bullwinkle uses Spare Dagger (top)! Attacks Inox Guard 1 for 2 (3base, +0mod, SHIELD1) damage! Gains 1XP.
Inox Guard 1 is at 2 HP and is IMMOBILIZED.

Guard 1 survives with 2HP, but at least he's IMMOBILIZED for the following Round; SHIELD is very effective against multiple average or low damage attacks.

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

This is going to be a close one! :suspense:

Active players, since D1 is occupied, please let me know which hex you want the new Inox Guard to spawn into! Also Narsham please let me know if you want to lose EARTH but avoid the damage on Bullwinkle or not. Finally, if anyone wants to, please let me know which cards you want to lose to prevent damage from an attack, if any!

Whops! You are completely right, not sure why I have the order for the 2 characters inverted, I'll have to double check the spreadsheet cause, ofc, 27<29. Nothing else should change aside from 1 less damage on Bullwinkle.

EDIT: fixed. By the way, apologies for all the little inconsistencies and mistakes, this game has a lot of admin work when you have to record the activity and map down everything on your own and if I want to keep the ball rolling and update once/day I only have a limited amount of time for double checking everything.
I'd rather keep going at this pace - mistakes and all - than slowing down the update cycle though, but please let me know if you'd prefer the other alternative

No need to slow it down. If every other turn isn't spent debating rules and correcting minor mistakes, it's not the real Gloomhaven experience.

I think we'd prefer the guard to spawn in C1, given the choice.

Yeah, sorry, that's my bad. It wasn't even the font's fault, because I deduced I wanted the tile next to D4. I'm just worse at the alphabet than I thought.

E: Oh, also I was quite drunk when I sent that PM. Might be a pertinent detail.

Bullwinkle, Rocky, what's your healing situation? The Mindthief gets exactly one card that can heal others, and that's at level 3 and competing against a very solid card, so she's not exactly a team player on that front. I think I'll pop open the door and sit on it until we're ready to move on. I can get nice and cozy in there for six turns if need be, so if you survive this, we should be home free. There'll be time for a long rest and everything.

I'm trying to visualize the room, but as far as I can tell only a single range 4 enemy (and two range 5s?) would have a line of sight to Bullwinkle. I don't know about the elite archers, but everything else we've seen has been range 3, so they'd have to draw a +range card and be near the door to be able to target him.

Rocky hit her with Earthen Clod before your attack.

And that's... not very much healing, no.

Okay, I've got a pair of cards I can play which will allow me to either open the door or get between Bullwinkle and the mobile guards, and I'll pick what to do when we've drawn the monster AI cards.

Narsham: Jun 5, 2008

OK, the guard deck just reshuffled and with Splinter invisible this turn, they have a 50% chance they can't attack either Rocky or Bullwinkle. The Move 2/Move 3 cards and their Move 1/Range 2 attack can hit us. I am tempted to suggest that Bullwinkle long rest to get rid of the poison. If the 50% bad stuff happens, I will short rest to get my healing back; otherwise, I can probably proceed with a disarm, though it will be slow.

I will block F4 (if possible) and F5 this turn, making my current spot fairly safe (again, unless the guards get their ranged attack). I have plenty of cards to lose to damage if the worst happens. If I have to lock myself in becaus a guard is in F4, I can jump out after a short rest. (F5 will be clear via push.)

My healing is all range 3, so Bullwinkle is in reach.

Inox Encampment Round 4A

None!

ROUND REVEAL posted:

Ripley's orders were, and I quote "Long Rest, cross fingers, pray to Inox gods"...and it looks like they may have worked? Now we know which Inox their gods prefer, I guess. It's probably something like this:

"PLAYER'S OVERVIEW

What's the current kill tally? 5?
With the 6 guards on board a 4 enemy room would provide for all the required targets.

# ? Feb 2, 2019 16:01

Narsham: Jun 5, 2008

OK, next turn planning:
The fastest the guards can go and attack is on 30. Bullwinkle can beat that. Barring a miss, he can kill the injured guard nearest to us. 4&6 will have to go the long way to reach us. 2, spawning in at C1, will be blocked by 3. 1 is immoble. I can use a push 2 on guard 5 to shove him through that bramble into B3, which means he'll end in C4. That makes guards 1&3 the only ones nearby next turn, and 1 is dead next turn before acting.

With rocks in F4 and F5, Bullwinkle could shift to G4 if necessary to minimize his risk. Splinter could move into F2 if that's needed to keep guard 3 from attacking Bullwinkle. I am leaning toward a long rest next turn to get both my items and my healing back; if the turn after next isn't too threatening, I could heal 4 Bullwinkle and heal 2 myself. This is obviously contingent on what the enemies inside the next room are up to. But my other good options are all AoEs and I'm not going to have good targets for them.

My fast heal card is init 29, so the turn after Rocky's rest is a good go-slower turn.

56. Inox Archer 5(E) posted:

- Inox Archer 5(E) focuses Bullwinkle!

It is fairly fortunate for our heroes that the Archer has pulled a no MOVE card, otherwise with a Range of 4 it would have had LOS on Bullwinkle's poisoned-with-3-HP-prayer-session, by stepping over the Trap tile in B9(1). It really seems the Inox gods do have favorites...

61. Rocky the Savvas Cragheart (Narsham) posted:

- Rocky uses Crater (top)! Consumes EARTH! Gains 1 XP. Attacks Inox Guard 5(s) for 4 (3base, +1mod) damage! Inox Guard 5(s) is PUSHED2 to B2 through hex C1! Takes 1 hazardous terrain damage in hex C1!
Inox Guard 5(s) is at 3 HP.
- Rocky uses Avalanche (bot)! Created 2 single hex obstacles in hex F4 and F5!
EARTH is now strong.

Hazardous terrain is a special type of hex that causes half Trap damage (rounded down) to whoever enters it. An interesting perk of the monsters AI: monsters consider hexes with hazardous terrain (or Traps) to be obstacles when calculating focus unless that path is the only one available to reach their focus, given infinite movement. In this case, the Guards can reach Rocky by going the long route, so they won't try to reach our rockman by stepping onto the brambles in G6. Tactics!

70. Inox Guard 1 posted:

- Inox Guard 1(s) focuses Rocky! Loses IMMOBILIZED token.
- Inox Guard 2(s) focuses Bullwinkle! ~~Moves 1 to D1!~~ Tries to MOVE1, no valid hex!

- Inox Guard 4 focuses Rocky! Moves 1 to C6!
- Inox Guard 5(s) focuses Bullwinkle! Moves 1 to C2!
- Inox Guard 6 focuses Rocky! Moves 1 to C7!

EDIT: Guard 2 is actually standing in C1. The correct position is displayed in the screenshot at the end of the update.

I've swapped out the spawn tokens on the Guards since we don't really need to keep track of the order they've spawned in and the previous tokens had numbers on them, potentially causing confusion. Active players please let me know if you'd prefer Guard 3 to move to E2 instead of E1!

END OF ROUND ACTIONS posted:

EDIT: I have rectified Guard 2's position. He's stading in C1 since there it moves before Guard 3. The spawning has stopped, but so has the killing! Both Bullwinkle and Rocky are still very close to being struck down.

Narsham: Jun 5, 2008

OK. There's a single guard action (init 30, move +1, attack -1) that could cause trouble. If I long rest and somebody kills the 2 hp guard, Bullwinkle will be safe in G4 and I can apply up to Heal 6 to him on the following turn. Blocking G4 also forces the guards focusing on me to turn around and head for that hazardous terrain; Bullwinkle can then vacate G4 the following turn and they will switch directions again.

The archer we want to force through one of the traps if possible. Because of the movement difference between archer and shaman, we can probably get them to split up and whoever goes in for that treasure can manage the shaman then. If Rocky takes another rest cycle before we open another door for more targets, we can probably heal up to full. If my count is correct, we only need to find one more victim to win.

Keep in mind the init 15 shield/retaliate card. It's probably only a big deal for Bullwinkle, but it might justify using the dagger before moving.

Depending on the cards I'm allowed and the enemy AI, I'll either join the fray and draw out the archer, or if you guys can handle the weakened guards, I'll run interference and slow down the archer and fresh guards.

If we manage to win this mission, we will be able to decide where we stand regarding this stuff. To be fair, we already knew that Jekserah wasn't going to win any awards in the morality department, since the first job we've done fore her has been to recover some scrolls that just happened to have necromantic stuff on them. OTOH, it's surprisingly easy not to pick up the details in the fluff, since the start of the campaign is otherwise the most generic fantasy trope ever (the party is approached in an inn by a merchant who wants them to retrieve stolen stuff and "protect" her caravans, for crying out loud

OK, that's right based on the example on Page 31 (Tinkerer is closer than Brute but only can be reached through traps). I remembered the words of "one of these hexes as the only way that can focus on a target" to be for each target, but it's for ANY target at all.

Those guards still have a long way to go.

Well, I wasn't counting on the archer to act quite so fast, but bright side, I can totally kill him dead afterwards.

I plan to enter the hut, kill the archer, and lure some guards in there to send them on a merry goose chase, but I think I'll only be able to draw the focus of Guard 2.

Hazards. Only the shaman will focus you if you're behind them.

I believe Zulily Zoetrope is banking on the Archer to step on one of the Trap tiles to be able to shoot at Bullwinkle. That'll leave a safe path for Guards at a later initiative to step onto if they want to focus someone inside the new room.

The Archer is going to trigger a trap to attack Bullwinkle, plus however many it will take to kill him.

That sounds good. Next turn I will drop my full Heal 6 on Bullwinkle so he can keep stabbing, and then provide ranged support until our next rest.

We're at no risk of exhaustion from cards, so if necessary I can take a hit or two to pull heat from Bullwinkle. (But I'm more likely to immobilize a guard or two.)

Right, those are traps, not permanent terrain.

Carry on then.

E: how much damage is a trap currently?

Scenario level 1 traps hit for 3 damage and hazardous terrain for 1.
