Lol you guys blew those wind demons up good.

Is it cool if we discuss the wind demon deck now? Because those guys are assholes.

At higher difficulties the elites disarm with every attack. I complain about a lot of enemy types but elite wind demons are literally the worst because of that.

Apologies for the delay, I was out playing Gloomhaven live! Very Mild visual SPOILERS for Scenario 6 (standees for a monster type we haven't seen yet, partial room layout):

So...I'll need STEP 7A orders from Some Numbers and Elephant Ambush to proceed...my bad since I gave you those Short Rest results so late

Zurai posted:

Knew that was gonna happen. I'm going to use the bottom loss of Rock Tunnel to move to the chest and chuck rocks at the two cultists. If I draw 0 or better on Cultist 3, I'll kill it, and I can guaranteed kill Cultist 1 before it has a chance to summon because I can push it into that trap even if I draw a -2 or miss. I'd like to get the XP from eating the earth element but I'd like it more if Cultist 3 didn't get a chance to summon so if Splinter can weaken or kill it, I'm cool with that.

Zurai posted:

It will take me a minimum of 3 turns to get down to the Earth Demon room. If you think you and Splinter can handle it, looting this room seems more productive. I'll come down if you think it'll make a difference though.

Zurai posted:

OK. I'm going to throw a temper tantrum for some experience up here and start looting the room one coin at a time because the Cragheart does not have good Loot cards.

Zurai posted:

I feel like there should really be a shop item that has "tap: loot1" or similar. It'd be worth 20 gold to pick that up for a lot of characters. It feels like there are a lot of characters in the game with a bottom Loot 1 and that's it. Loot 1 is not great to start with and doing it without being able to move is terrible. Spending some money to get the option to not have to bring a terrible card and maybe actually collect more than one coin at a time once or twice per scenario would be attractive even if it doesn't do anything to directly help in battle.

Elephant Ambush posted:

Stay and loot. I got this.

Some Numbers posted:

Do you need my help?

Reik posted:

In order to get level 3 you need 95 exp, and the heroes are at:

Splinter: 78
Rocky: 79
Bullwinkle: 83

With the (EDIT) 6 from beating the scenario, that means the heroes need the following to hit level 3:

Splinter: 11xp
Rocky: 10xp
Bullwinkle: 6xp

Bullwinkle has earned 7 so they're good to go, Rocky has earned 8 so they still need to earn 2 more which shouldn't be hard because destroying an obstacle should be enough to trigger the exp from explosive punch, but Master Splinter has only earned 3 so would need still earn 8 more. I think it would take 5 rounds to do this unfortunately :/

Zurai posted:

I can get at least 3 more XP, possibly 4 (I'm not sure whether I get XP for eating an Earth with Crater's bottom with no allies or enemies around or not -- it's not an attack so it doesn't quite fit within the explicit rules). I don't think I can trigger Backup Ammunition any more, alas, since I don't think it triggers unless I actually make an Attack. Someone correct me if that's wrong because that's two more XP I can pick up.

Zurai posted:

Excellent. I'll end up at 12 then. Good thing I didn't have the "earn 13 or more XP this scenario" battle goal! I always struggle with that one. That's one of those which I'm not sure some classes can even really do. EDIT: Cragheart definitely can, I could have easily gotten to 14 if those Cultists had gone before me and summoned their skeletons, but there are other classes who just don't have a lot of great XP options by design.

Elephant Ambush posted:

Nah I'm good.

I will be burning loss cards for xp the next couple turns so hopefully I can level up.

Some Numbers posted:

Okay, if you're sure, I'm going to farm coins.

Make sure you grab the chest.

Some Numbers posted:

Wait, now I'm confused.

Am I coming down to the lower room to help you or am I cleaning up the loot and getting XP in the upper room?
