FairGame posted:

Given that why even try and stand on the button? Why not just have splinter use the bottom of scurry to move to the middle coin slot, the top to loot the other 2 coins?

I can't do that. I can either Move 4, atk 1 and turn invisible or I can Loot 2 and generate Dark

Why can�t you use a generic move2 bottom and then loot1 with the top of the other card?

Can you not move2 through allies?

This situation sucks. I'm not sure what to do. We need to keep trying to move forward but I don't want either of you getting attacked, pulled, and attacked more.

If you close the door then Ash won't do anything other than maybe kill the cannon if it's still alive.

Could Splinter just go invisible on the plate and Lina kill the cannon from the back of the room so that the golem moves into the door, pulls Ash, and Ash gets all his attacks?

That�d immobilize the bear, which might not be such a bad thing since otherwise it�s gonna run headlong into oozetown next turn.

What I described has the best chance of killing 2 enemies and keeping our momentum going but I am by no means perfect and I'm open to improvements to my plan.

Hey guys, there is a bit of mix inputs itt about how you'd like to proceed, and I don't have a PM from SalTheBard. I'll wait for the PM before proceeding cause if I got your intentions wrong it may make a lot of difference in a round like this one

It's fine. We'll be fine. That went pretty much as I expected.

Okay since Ash can't move I'm going to heal him and hopefully his attacks finish off the golem. I'm going to need help with the oozes though.

Stepping off the plate will kill the golem, if you want to go that route.

You can even do a move 2, take one step off (shutting the door) and step right back on (reopening it).

I'm confused. The final screenshot has ash in the door hex but the stone golem occupied that spot on its turn.

If the golem IS in the door hex, snapping the door shut is the best bet. And then probably leave it shut since nobody can deal with SLIME ROOM right now anyway.

Hell, even if the bear is in the door hex, moving at ratspeed to kill the golem and THEN snapping the door shut on the bear (and moving it to safety) might be the best play. Bear is liable to take more than 4 damage from cannons and slimes...

That Italian Guy: Jul 25, 2012; We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.

The Golem is on the door, Ash is in the next hex. I had to reload a save and I guess I forgot to move the Golem! Also, Ash is not immobilized (the token was remove on Ash's activation this Round).

E8 please. So do we have a plan? I need to know what to do if the door gets closed. If it stays open I have to commit to attacking and healing. Otherwise I'll heal.

Actually I will heal no matter what. I need to know what other card to play.

Q: If a monster drops a coin on a doorway and then the door closes, what happens to the coin?
A: The coin is removed from the board.

# ? Jan 28, 2020 14:07

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

The monster suffers trap damage AND moves to the nearest unoccupied hex. That seems slightly different than killing something in a doorway and then closing the door.

Anyway I'm assuming this entire turn is gonna be "off button, on button" since otherwise Ash will charge forward and get himself killed.

# ? Jan 28, 2020 16:14

Some Numbers: Sep 28, 2006; "LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

Yeah, staying off the button seems wise, we don't want Ash to take six shots from the Oozes and the Cannons.

Elephant Ambush: Nov 13, 2012; ...We sholde spenden more time together. What sayest thou?; Nap Ghost

That's fine. As long as I can heal. I'm worried about people long resting though. We really need to keep moving.

If someone has a long rests only battle goal I'd prefer that not risk us losing. :/

Effects are sequential and you can't push a dead enemy, so the Golem will suffer the damage on the door hex and die there, dropping its coin on that hex.

If forward progress is a concern then the Mindthief could also just stay on the plate and let the bear kill the golem (though that would mean it takes one cannon shot).
