The above post has been updated. I'll probably do that whenever someone levels if they need to make a decision.

You know, I've got a funny feeling I've seen this all before.
I've never liked training much but I guess it might be good if you can get it on the very first turn.

Blood rage is a really good action for Arythea.

Stelas I have to say this is running very smoothly, I'm regretting not signing up now!

I'm really proud of the workflow I got together for this, it's letting me update very quickly. I wish I'd thought to get all this together for Clash of Cultures, but it's a bit late to really worry there.

- A customized version of the Vassal module runs the board, from which screenshots get saved out as .png.
- Batch file converts all pngs in the directory to jpg.
- Send most files moved to dropbox - this means all the links below the image are static and don't need constantly updating.
- Windows extension sends the map straight to imgur and gets me the link.
- Quote last post, update map url and hand sizes.
- Done!

By using static URLs you lose out on a detailed history of events, but it's so much easier it makes up for it.

Thanks for running this Stelas, Mage Knight is one of my favorite games so I'll be following along. I'll also be playing later tonight with Krang for the first time, looking forward to that as Wolfhawk was pretty meh.

No move. Action to interact.

Play Tranquility for the draw.

Regardless of draw, take Red Mana Die and play Improvisation (powered) for 5 Influence, discarding Crystalize

Whoops, sorry! Pitch Crystalize.

Actually, can I revise? I haven't played Norowas much since the expansion, and I forgot that Noble Manners is a card in his deck.

If I can, please instead use the white die for Noble Manners (powered) for 4 influence, and play Crystalize sideways for 1 influence (5 total).

Still recruiting the Foresters.

Yup. As per basic rules, as long as you haven't revealed anything you can revise and backtrack all you like.

Norowas' Turn

Norowas picks up some Foresters and some prestige in the deal.

Goldyx's Turn


Norowas (Gutter Owl) - 5 hand, 5 deck.
Goldyx (Impermanent) - 5 card, 6 deck, 1 gold mana.

Noble Manners gives Norowas +1 Fame as well.

Stelas

Uh, weird, the Fame track didn't update.

Tovak's piece isn't on the track yet, the module just clusters them like that off the board.

I cement my position as 2nd most deadly and 1st most card inefficient:

I provoke the goblins to the NW.

In combat, I do nothing in the ranged and block rounds and take the full damage (two wounds to my face, two to my discard.)

Then I play Determination for 2 attack, and then March, Stamina, and Threaten sideways to bring it up to 5 attack.

Bloodied and poisoned, I kill the goblin and Level, taking Crushing Bolt.

I elect to use the magical glade to heal one of my wounds in my discard.

Yeah, I just wrapped it all together. Poisoned enemies drop a wound into your discard for every wound they drop into your hand, so you took two to hand, two to discard, then the healing glade healed one of the wounds in your discard, leaving you at three overall.

Sure thing - just checking. I had a moment where I thought that I might have been able to completely heal my discard pile by using the glade.

I'm gonna pause here just for a bit, until Norowas' level up goes through - after all, it may change what's available in the Unit Offer, depending on the choice made.

Cripes. Thanks to the players for their speed, we're nearly through the first round in the space of about a day. I don't expect weekdays to go nearly as well, but what a start.
