I mean, it doesn't really matter where we put the Shortcut, does it?

This is really why I'm asking for a sanity check on whether it blocks Gathering - it's the only thing I can think of that really matters.

Can I get some clarification on what "A New Idea" ability for the Carpenter does? What are the Invention cards?

So you'll notice that the inventions are divided into Basic and Advanced. The Basic inventions are guaranteed to be in the game, but the Advanced inventions are drawn randomly from a deck. A New Idea allows you to choose from a (very generous - five out of fifteen or so) selection and put another into play.

Fellis: Feb 14, 2012; Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.

Stelas posted:

Threat: The hunting is plentiful, even if the Beast deck isn't. Weapons go down to 0, Food goes up by 2, and the Plentiful Hunting card is discarded.

I don't think that resolving this threat decreases the weapon level, it just requires weapon level 2 to take advantage of it. Usually weapon level changes have a +/- in front of the symbol or state it in text. The rulebook, unsurprisingly, is not very clear on this.

Morpheus: Apr 18, 2008; My favourite little monsters

Does anyone else really want that 3 Determination token? Because I'd really like to use a couple men + that to build the Rope.

Also lets put some wood on the pile.

These are no brainers. The rest I guess is being discussed.

Update will be coming along in an hour or two. I think, on reflection, I'm gonna go with Fellis' note that the Weapon mark on the card means it did not get reduced - you're still at 2.

TURN 4 CONT.

Two wood is put on the pile.
The Carpenter gets 3 Determination.

TURN 5

ActingPower is the first player.

Event Phase

Thorny Bush Resolution: Swollen Arm posted:

The wound on your arm has turned a dangerous colour of yellow, and the area around it is puffy and swollen. You're in no state to work today.

If you do not have the Cure, the character with the Green arm wound has only one worker available this turn. Draw another card.

Event: Rain posted:

It's comforting, in a way. While the rains might be endless, the skies gloomy and grey... at least you feel like you're back in London.

The Weather Phase will have one more raincloud this turn. The first Gathering action guarantees an Adventure card.

Threat:

Stronger Roof: 1 worker, Fur: Discard this card and get 1 Determination. Falloff Penalty: +1 raincloud on the next Weather turn.

Morale Phase: ActingPower gains 2 Determination.

Production Phase: The camp produces 2 Wood, and a material of the group's choice.

# ? Aug 4, 2014 20:19

ActingPower: Jun 4, 2013

All right, tasks.

Let's get Food from the Shortcut. Yea or nay?
We should definitely assign someone to Draw the Poison. Not only will it keep us from taking a wound, but it'll also help us with the next task.
Probably should hunt today.
We need to boost the Roof. Definitely 1, maybe 2 if that's allowed. Maybe also consider the Shelter so that we can move if we have to?
Maybe we should invent Rope so that we can make the Mast?
Do we want to explore to the SE with the Map aide?

Your roof is already at 1 - it doesn't get damaged by the rain, just prevents it. If you mean build it up twice, you don't have the resources.

Right, but we're guaranteed 1 Rain tonight from the Event. We'll need another layer if we want to be dry tonight. But if we don't have enough resources, then 1 will have to do.

# ? Aug 4, 2014 21:15

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

Oh, right, sorry. Yeah, you've got 4 wood (at least?) so you could definitely build roof this turn. It's going to suck if you ever need to move in a hurry, though.

# ? Aug 4, 2014 21:24

CirclMastr: Jul 4, 2010

The way I see it, we need to build Roof, build the Rope, and hunt. Our wounded comrade can take care of Drawing the Poison, and everyone else doubles up on their task.

EDIT: and get Food from the shortcut obviously.

# ? Aug 4, 2014 22:42

Morpheus: Apr 18, 2008; My favourite little monsters

Welp guess I will work on

Drawing the Poison - one worker.

Just knew it'd come around to bite me in the rear end before we developed Cure. I'm going to be just flush with determination. I'll use it to get an extra man next turn for building something.

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

Giving the thread a bit of a bump.

# ? Aug 6, 2014 17:25

ActingPower: Jun 4, 2013

CirclMaster's idea was:
Morpheus' 1 worker is solving the threat.
Two workers on the roof, two workers making Rope, and two hunting. I'm... not sure how that goes with food, since we only have the one from the shortcut. I guess hunting will give some, right?
Oh, also, let's use the +1 Weapon Level token and the Herbal Mixture.

# ? Aug 6, 2014 17:54

Stelas: Sep 6, 2010

The question is who's doing what - this isn't important for building actions, but is for the hunting.

# ? Aug 6, 2014 18:53

Jedit: Dec 10, 2011; Proudly supporting vanilla legends 1994-2014

I should probably do it. If we have a spare worker somewhere I should also build the Spear - it'll net me 2 Determination.

Morpheus: Apr 18, 2008; My favourite little monsters

Alright folks who is biting the bullet and going hunting? I'd recommend ActingPower as the guy with the least to lose (as he only has one morale hit with his character), and if we end up making the Pot we can likely heal things, unless they get really bad.

I'm off to a convention until Monday. I will be able to phone post if necessary, but I'll be busy a lot and if it's easier for the team to control my workers for a turn or two then go ahead.

That's fair enough. Enjoy!

TURN 5 CONT.

Resolve Phase

1 Food is gained from the Shortcut.

Threat: The Carpenter gets to the messy work of drawing poison from people's wounds. +1 Determination, Weapons rise to 4.

Hunting: The Explorer goes hunting.

Boa posted:

Attack 2, Weapons -2, Food 2. Receive a Mystery Token when defeated.

Weapons go down to 2, and 2 Food is gained. Token draw: +1 Wood.

Building: The Roof is built up to 2. The Rope is built.

All resources become available. Since the token is pure +resource, it immediately resolves.

--

Weather Phase: The Weather dice rolls 2 clouds, for a total of 3 clouds. 1 Wood and 1 Food is used to heat and feed the camp.

Night Phase: Only 2 food is available.

poo poo. We're going to lose Morale.

I recommend Jedit and ActingPower take the hits so that we only lose one morale. No idea when we got the second morale raise, so at least we still get one determination per turn. I guess Jedit can't speak up, but ActingPower, got any objections?

Okay. Ugh.

Food from the shortcut first of all.

Carpenter has got to build the Snare. We have no Fur but we do have 1 Wood for Unusually Cold night, so we need a worker there. We need someone to hunt (yay for the Pistol if we need it).

Fortunately that still leaves us 3 worker tokens. I propose the last 3 workers gather 2 Food and 1 Wood.

# ? Aug 8, 2014 21:54

Morpheus: Apr 18, 2008; My favourite little monsters

Uhhhh so we have the Pot and I didn't even notice that - maybe should've healed before losing morale. Welp.
Does this mean the people who did eat food this turn recover health? Not sure how that works.

Here's the thing: if we all take a wound this turn, we lose three morale. This is...not good.

Okay, I'm going to:

Build the snare: Using one man, and I'm going to burn 3 Determination in order to get another guy on it.
Clear Warming Up threat: One guy, with the wood we have.

Would take the urgent one, but no fur soooo. Looks like it's going to get rainy.

As I understand it, if we clear off the non-urgent one, it frees up the space for the next card so the urgent one won't fall off.

The fireplace is a better food to healing exchange rate and is a separate item so if you have the food to spare you can use both the fireplace and pot in a turn to heal a total of three points. But they're each only usable once per turn.
