I'm going to put out some hurt on that frost demon and some collateral :black101:

on one of the spirits. I probably won't quite kill the demon, but it should be really low health. I'll eat a fair amount of retaliate damage, but should be OK since almost everything will be dead.

Great. Those spirits are dead then. I can likely kill them and trigger the chest trap then, rather than just the trap

I'm not sure if you intend to step on the trap, but it is a stun trap. If you step into it, you will be stopped, and be stunned for your next turn as well.

^Retaliate 1 from the doggos, since they were normal, not elite.

As tempting as those coins are, I think it's best if I stay in place and set up an extra shield. Skewering the Frost Demon just to put out some damage.

My advice to Gloomhaven players is that each card has three parts to it: a top, a bottom, and an initiative. You can't use a card for all three, and so you want to use it for two.

But if you can see only use it for one part, that's okay too. Using a generic action on a card played for initiative is no worse a play then using a unique action on a card not used for initiative, and that's what you always do with half your cards by definition.

Frost Demon 5(E) is at 8 HP

As we can see, burning through your consumable items like Stamina Potions and the Earring can produce extreme power spikes.

Slann, I've had to improvise a bit with your movement since none of the potential outcomes were possible without activating Boots; I guess you won't miss them anyway, but let me know if you'd like to move somewhere else!

I'm fine with looting; at this point we've basically won so it's just down to cleaning up after ourselves. I'll grab the B4 coin if that's all right.

Please don't kill the spirit in this upcoming round. If it survives then I can loot 2 coins from the previous room in the next round.
