Superterranean: May 3, 2005; after we lit this one, nothing was ever the same

Elephant Ambush posted:

I'm going to Doom the elite Harrower and do the thing where when a doomed enemy dies the Doom moves to an enemy with range 2

For Splinter I like the plan of using the 2 cards we just recovered and going on the later initiative

Boris is probably going to take a beating but at this point I don't have a lot of great options unless I rest or use another stamina potion

Agree, Splinter should use the 2 cards just retrieved. Let's see what the harrowers do! Does Lina still have Cold Fire available for stun?

wow, that was a close call on both ends of the initiative range! I bet those Harrowers feel really fuckin frustrated right now.

Not relevant this Round, but the Burining Avatar creates FIRE at the end of their turn, so the SW is going to consume it during hers. The good news: the SW can consume the element her Summon creates - so as long as the Burning Avatar is alive, Lina Megumin will always have FIRE available. Also in case of doubt: the Summon follows monster AI, so it'll prioritize Harrower 1 over 2 if they are at the same distance (and would prioritize 3 cause it's Elite if it was at the same distance as well).

There were 3 proposed targets for Master Splinter and I couldn't see one that looked clearly better than the others, so I rolled a die to decide who to attack (Imp2); then it felt like a good idea to try and kill Imp1 with a +2 modifier since Imp2 got STUNNED. There were also a couple of suggested options for our MT's movement and since she's acting last, I'll let the thread decide where to go. Same for the decision between Major Stamina Potion and Short Rest.

Cranium Overload's a strong card, I think we should reroll it.

For cards, Corrupting Embrace & Dark Frenzy, at initiative 10, replacing whichever gets lost with Cranium Overload if the reroll hits one of them.

I'd prefer not to risk losing Corrupting Embrace since it's a reusable double attack. I would also not want to lose Feedback Loop since it's one of our only slow cards that also has a jump. I can handle losing Cranium Overload.

If we kill the elite harrower then the normal is also dead from doom contagion. (Then the doom goes away but :shrug:

)

# ? Jan 23, 2021 14:07

Superterranean: May 3, 2005; after we lit this one, nothing was ever the same

ok, so to kill the normal harrower from doom contagion we'd need to get 8 damage into the elite. Splinter's going to do 3.5ish on average, given the state of her combat deck; that leaves 4.5ish for Boris to do. Press the Attack does 4.5ish easily - so...let's hit the elite! thanks, Omobono, I hadn't thought of that.

# ? Jan 23, 2021 14:38

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

Well technically I go before Splinter since my second card is faster. So what I could do is shoot the normal Harrower and likely kill it. If I kill it then we go all-in on the elite. At the very least if we can poison it it won't be able to heal. Also, if the regular Harrower dies first, the elite will pass the Doom onto the Imp at the top right.

So I'm going to shoot at the normal Harrower and if it dies we go ham on the elite, otherwise we should poison the elite to prevent healing and then try to kill the normal Harrower.

Rolling modifiers and Advantage/Disadvantage are a mess in GH, so we'll use common sense to handle them IE: in case of advantage we'll pick the best outcome, in case of disadvantage we'll pick the worst outcome. We will always pick the highest/lowest damage to determine what's best/worst, and if the super rare case where we have other effects we'll go case by case. In this case, we have +1STUN vs +3, so we pick +1STUN since we are attacking with Disadvantage.

Wait I'm confused. The Harrower this turn:

Started at 10.
Got attacked for 3 by Splinter (7).
Suffered 2 Doom damage (5).
Healed for 5 (10).
Got attacked by the Burning Avatar for 3 (7).
Got attacked by the SW for 6 (1).

Did I miss something?

Well I thought Splinter was going to poison the elite Harrower to prevent the healing but things worked out fine anyway.

The elite Harrower isn't getting another turn so we can ignore it other than it basically being an obstacle. Having said that I'm going to attack it anyway at a fast initiative then move into the room and clear my poison. If the Harrower goes before me and dies I'll move into the room and shoot elite Imp 4 to try to kill it. If those are are both dead for some reason I'll plink imp 3.

There were conflicting orders itt about Splinter's target; also Splinter would be quite dead (or she would have had to lose card(s) to damage) due to Retaliate3 on each of those two Attack 1s :v:

Though the harrower is dead on its turn from doom so retaliate range is not a problem. Getting the shoes back is still a good idea.

That Italian Guy posted:

There were conflicting orders itt about Splinter's target; also Splinter would be quite dead (or she would have had to lose card(s) to damage) due to Retaliate3 on each of those two Attack 1s

Btw, I'm missing orders for Master Splinter! I would like to update today if possible, so any input is appreciated

Ah I keep forgetting the Harrowers have retaliate. :doh:

Anyway this is gonna be a heckin complicated turn with a decision tree based on "what died during the last turn?"

Basically I'm moving into the room and clearing my poison while attacking....whatever I can reach.

Phelddagrif: Jan 28, 2009; Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

Since advantage/disadvantage is being house-ruled, I feel it would be a good idea to write up a brief description of how it works using RAW, for anyone playing their own copy.

First we'll look at what happens when there are no rolling modifiers.

When you're attacking with advantage, you draw two cards and use whichever one is better. With disadvantage, you use whichever card is worse. Sometimes it's ambiguous which of the two cards is better; in those cases, you use whichever card was drawn first. Some examples of ambiguous cases:

+3 or +2 and create Fire
+3 or +0 and Stun
+2 or x2, when doing an Attack 2

Rolling modifiers add just a little bit of complication. Now the procedure looks like this:

-First, draw two cards.
-If neither card is rolling, stop and use whichever is better/worse as described above.
-If one card is rolling and the other is not, stop. If you have advantage, use both cards; if disadvantaged, ignore the rolling card and just use the other. (Note that it doesn't matter which order the cards were drawn; if the second card was a rolling one, you still stop there.)
-If both cards are rolling, keep drawing until you hit a non-rolling card, then stop. With advantage you apply all the cards, and with disadvantage you just use the non-rolling card.

Note that Jaws lets you pick for Advantage in ambiguous circumstances, and Isaac posted over on BGG that that's reasonable to port backwards to GH.

(Disadvantage is still pick worst/first)

Yeah JotL and (presumably) FH are going to use a more sensible approach, but GH base works as per Phelddagrif's post. It is often houseruled by using a 2 deck system, if someone wants to explain that (I don't use it and I have to say I never got around to understand the system since it was not really applicable to my group due to card limitations).
