I imagine that the last thing Gutter Owl wants is more Endrbyt, but when you do random select sometimes this is what you get! We've got Wol, playing Clive, against Gutter Owl, who will probably start dreaming about Endrbyt at this point.

We'll be using this arena:
Empire of Gesselheim
Haunted Sewers
Grey bricks crumble all around, occasionally broken up by large pipes. You come across a spirit in an open area; it seems startled and cowers down. Perhaps you can ignore it.

Use the 7 space board. Players start one space from the edges.
Place a shy ghost marker in the center space. Start of beat, after player start of beat effects, check the position of the shy ghost. If it is in between two fighters or on the space of a fighter, nothing happens. Otherwise, if it is adjacent to a fighter, that fighter loses 1 life; if it is not adjacent to a fighter, it moves 1 space towards the closest fighter, and if it ends adjacent to a fighter that fighter loses 1 life.

If an attack that includes the ghost's space in its range misses, add one anger token a pool off to the side. If an attack that includes the ghost's space in its range hits, the target of the attack may choose to have the ghost soak 1 damage from the attack by adding an anger token to the pool.

Turning point: When there are 3 or more anger tokens in the pool during the recycle phase, flip this card.

Angered Spirits
The spirit has had enough. It advances inexorably, attacking any who get in its way.
Use the 7 space board. Players retain their positions, and the shy ghost token is replaced with an angry ghost token.

Start of beat, after player start of beat effects, the ghost moves towards the nearest player if it is not already on or adjacent to a player. If there is a tie for nearest, the ghost moves towards the active player. After this movement, it deals 1 damage to any adjacent player and any player it shares a space with. If it deals damage this way, remove an angry token from the pool.

If an attack that includes the ghost's space in its range misses, add one anger token a pool off to the side. If an attack that includes the ghost's space in its range hits, the target of the attack may choose to have the ghost soak 1 damage from the attack by adding an anger token to the pool.

When there are no more anger tokens in the pool, flip the card back. Players retain their positions and the angry ghost becomes a shy ghost again.





Endrbyt's setup:

Gutter Owl posted:

Mode: Acquisition Mode
Styles: Displacement, Dispersal, Capturing, Unbreakable, Sonic
Bases: Burst, Shot, Strike, Drive, Dash, Vent, Slice





















:siren: I need Endrbyt's styles, bases, and mode, then starting discards and finishers from each of you. I haven't run Endrbyt before- I'm guessing the fair thing to do is choose his setup before you both pick discards and finishers.

That's more or less how I thought you'd react. I could reroll if you just have too much Endrbyt in your life.

Assuming not, though, I stuck a reference to those moves in the first post. Need finishers and discards from you both!

Well, crap. Since that's enough to beat my stun guard, I'll ignore the retreat for 1 energy, and ignore the pull for another.

It's been a while, so it may be good to remind everyone of the arena rules. You can soak 1 on attacks that include the ghost by giving it an anger token. Given that, you'll be able to soak 1 and take 3 damage if you want. Does that change your response?

Clive activates Synapse Boost








Endrbyt has priority 8. Clive has priority 6. Endrbyt is the active player!

Start of beat, Endrbyt can spend energy for range. What with the lack of an attack, I'll assume not.

Start of beat, Clive retreats 1.




Start of beat, the shy ghost is in between the players and does not act.

After activating, Endrbyt advances 3.




Before Activating, Clive tries to pull Endrbyt, but there's nowhere for Endrbyt to go.

Rocket Wrench has a range of 3~5. At range 3, it misses. The missed attack includes the shy ghost; the shy ghost gains an anger token and is at 3.

After Activating, Clive deactivates Extending Arms and Synapse Boost.

During recycle, the shy ghost is at 3 anger tokens and becomes an Angry Ghost! It will now always activate and deals damage instead of life loss.

Clive activates Barrier Chip








Clive has priority 3. Endrbyt has priority 4. Endrbyt is the active player!

Start of beat, the Angry ghost moves 1 towards Endrbyt. After moving, it's adjacent to Endrbyt and deals 1 damage to him; he is at 11 life. His stun guard holds. The Angry Ghost now has 2 anger tokens.




Sonic Vent has a range of 1-3. At range 1, it hits!

On hit, Endrbyt gains 2 energy and is at 3. (I'm treating this differently than a normal On Hit: effect because it's not formatted that way, so Endrbyt can still gain energy when Core Shielding is up. Any objections?)

On hit, Clive does not need to discard a base because of Core Shielding.

Clive takes 3 damage and is at 13 life. His stun guard holds (thanks to Barrier Chip).

Before activating, Clive advances 1-2. I assume he wants the hit and advances 1.




Megaton Drive has a range of 1. At range 1, it hits!

On hit, Clive retreats as far as possible. On hit, Clive pushes Endrbyt 1.




Endrbyt takes 5 damage and is at 6 life. His stun guard holds.

End of beat, Endrbyt declines to discard Energy.

The arena definitely had more of an effect this time. Were either of you purposefully trying to set the other up to be attacked by the ghost, or was it just a happy accident? I know that Gutter Owl's last move was designed to get away from the ghost, but I don't know whether the rest of it was just a happy side effect when it hurt your enemy or gave you soak. Thoughts?

Also, Barrier Chip definitely gives Clive an advantage versus the Angry Ghost version.
