Neither did i in both maps. I kept trying to save it for recovering more lost cards, but near the end there was continuously more and more "must do now" and after the rush, the map ended already. In retrospect i should have used it earlier, more firepower would have helped near the end.

Bear doesn't need puny cards. (It's possible that something is wrong with the sheet, I think we had picked a lvl4 card but then I forgot to add it. We know the lvl5 vote was skipped by mistake, that's the reason we are picking 2 cards instead of one this time. That's how broken The Beast Tyrant is  ).

By the way, where should we go next? We need oodles of money for Pikachu's goal and we should start working on Master Splinter's goals too. I'd say to go for the Forgotten Crypt since it counts for the second. Master Splinter has been an asset to the team so it's time to help her back. (Also I just checked if it existed and Pikachu should start packing the command - loot 1 card, he needs money badly)

I would get Engulfed in Flames and Flame Strike IN; Aid from the Ether and Freezing Nova OUT. Freezing Nova? I'm not particularly sure about the second swap but with consistent fire I feel Flame Strike is decent to swap in. Distracted. We've got no forced movements. Start in E3. Someone should go stand in E2 and delay the escort mission an hex please. Do we need some CC? Otherwise I feel going slowish with Engulfed in Flames (for the top) and Fire Orbs (for the move) to set up some fire should be good. Alternatively, #yolo Fire Orbs top from the start. But this seems a longer mission (and that final room is big).

oh god THIS scenario. At least we have bear tyrant. Please make sure you bring your switcheroo card; it's a good one whenever you're escorting suicidal NPCs. We may even be able to work out a cheese strategy? Let me see how much jump and invisibility I can bring. e: I don't know that I have enough non-loss invisibility juice to attempt a cheese strategy and I don't have any idea how many enemies are coming (other than 'lots, probably.') But! If you'd like to try it, we can give it a go, and I can sub in Feedback Loop. Otherwise I am content to let the bear tank and go assassinate a cultist as quick as I can. e2: You know.... Between Scurry, Into the Night, the cloak, Winged Shoes, etc. - and guessing where doors might be later in the dungeon - I think maybe we can do this? I forgot I had 2 stamina pots and the empowering talisman, so it's probably possible to just hammer those cards repeatedly. But this could all go hilariously wrong depending on what's in the other rooms. dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Sep 8, 2020 |

Ahahah, I've just realized this could be cheesed for the first time  In case it wasn't clear, since the Scenario ends when Hail ends her turn next to the goal, in theory it could be possible to rush to the end of the map and switch Hail with one of the monsters in the last room. Not saying it is feasible or easy though

However, you guys would suffer the full brunt of many bad things, and it very well could go hilariously wrong. I am just as happy being a good team player and just murdering things for the glory of Hail (and switching to a cheese strat if that fails)

But this could all go hilariously wrong depending on what's in the other rooms. Doing some assumptions on doors (and the altar's location) it's 21/22 hexes between the start and the correct hex. That's ignoring any traps, where the obstacles are, and enemy placement. I don't think you have enough safe movement+invis turns to cheese it from the start. Maybe clean the first one to three rooms legit, then cheese? The idiot NPC is going to force an high pace though. She can open door, and that's a killer.

Well, we'd need about 20 moves in theory. You can almost do it in two turns with Scurry, Cranium Overload, invis cloak, stamina potion, Scurry, Cranium Overload. There is a decent chance that we would run out of standees as well. The trick will be that you have to enter the last room without invisibility and not die. On the following turn you can use Scurry and Into the Night for final positioning and then we just need to make sure that the swap happens up in the 90s for initiative.

Grab that brass ring and do as much cheese as possible. It's hilarious when you can make it work. My group used the same strat once to teleport a Very Very Bad Enemy to the rear end end of the map where it was just irrelevant for the rest of the game and it still makes me chuckle.dwarf74 posted:I have vague recollections of doing a cheese strat with Sun, on the theory that I could face-tank the dungeon. It ended up working, but was not fun or cool Huh. Care to elaborate? When we played this it was the first scenario I'd gotten Sun kind of unlocked and fully-loaded and I remember a fun moment of me camping in a doorway going, "On ne passe pas, motherfuckers!" It's one of the things that made me go from liking that character to just being in love.

I agree - let's do the first room as a normal one, and then try it out. We have to decide early, though - Hail is setting our pace.

Yeah, I'm figuring 20 moves to get somewhere inside the last room, using winged shoes judiciously. Another jump option will be key. Ideally, I think you pop rooms 3 and 4 in one go and then it will be more clear what cards you need to use to go into the last room.

Things to keep in mind: 1. There’s “lettered” hexes on the map, including one in the first room. Those are often used for monster spawns. The Tyrant sometimes just sits in the first room. Take the possibility of spawns into account. 2. Hail can move through PCs/summons but can’t end in their hexes. If she gets within move 2 of a door, you can’t prevent her from opening it, but you can potentially body-block her at certain spots. 3. Hail will step into a trapped hex if she has no clear hex to enter that gets her closer to the objective. As with doors, you can’t block her easily and so you may need to leave a spot open for her or set off traps deliberately to protect her. 4. As an ally, Hail can be healed.

OK I subbed out Brain Leech for Feedback Loop. In a brawl this would be super dumb. For cheese, I don't want to use bottom attacks, and I need a solid late initiative to drag out my invisibility. I would like any starting position in the front row and just need to call dibs on the spot by the door. We can murder these guys before I start the cheese. I am considering subbing in Gnawing Horde for Hostile Takeover as well - another move 4, with nice and late initiative to push that invisible.

Just realized we didn't really have a lot of voting itt re: our SW starting hand, card selection, initiative and deployment. In fact, we only have 1 vote for "Engulfed in Flames and Flame Strike IN; Aid from the Ether and Freezing Nova OUT" (and maybe add Impaling Eruption, w/o a card to remove), but the only card selection vote has suggested to play Aid from the Ether, that we would be removing So, please vote for (first 2 votes in agreement decide): 1) Engulfed in Flames and Flame Strike IN; Aid from the Ether and Freezing Nova OUT yes or no. 2) Impaling Eruption IN yes (specify which card to remove) or no. 3) Starting cards and initiative. 4) Starting position.
