I hope the red guard stuff exports beautifully

The good news is that I'm only really using the module for the lvl2+ cards for the scope of the LP, so it's nice to have good scans for those. They are nice and crisp, same as the RG's character card in the post above.

1) I don't think we need to change any of Boris's cards
2) As long as we're in the front line of D1, D2 or C2 I don't think we care. Just want the 4 range to an undamaged slime.
3) Rain of Arrows and Fresh Kill at 33? I've never played this character, he's one of the few not yet in the digital game. Might pick something different if the red guard is planning to damage all three oozes.
4) I think we have to go hesitant, both the red guard and the soothsinger are blindingly fast and can maybe warn us if they are both going slower in a turn.

They can't eat through your shields if they are dead! :black101:

edit: I'm torn on Song of Speed, I miss it sometimes in the digital game. Will we need it to wade through the water in this mission? The map doesn't look too big. Defensive Ditty, Soothing Lullaby and Echoing Aria are probably better, we've all got decent moves and some jump.

Shields have a 3 in 8 chance of doing bupkus against slimes.

poo poo as much damage into them as fast as possible, imo. Hurt them enough to hurt their inevitable slime babies.

e: Song of Speed is probably an awesome choice here. Not in this room but in this scenario. Difficult terrain sucks.

Let them split around me, I shall bring forth the fire

Let the slimes spawn around me.

bagrada: Aug 4, 2007; The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

~~Alright so the plan is restart the mission until the slimes pick a different card~~ Boris can doom with rain of arrows bottom then fresh kill top for an attack 6 on whichever. #2 maybe.

edit w/ question since I've only played digital for the last year. In that version Letty could basic move with her shoes to I3 and Boris hop over to H2. That would prevent an ooze from #5 since it wouldn't have an open slot adjacent. Does it work that way in tabletop or would it just pop up.behind us? Digital has room spawned enemies like last mission's go to the nearest open spot but card summoned oozes, skeletons, eye tentacles etc show up only if there's a free spot.

I'd be super bummed if this didn't work, since I've always played things as "hey cragheart, put some giant rocks where they were going to summon! Oh and also the coins in these hexes are TOO BIG to summon onto." And I'd feel like I'd been cheating pretty majorly.

And yes literally anything can prevent a slime from summoning, including terrain or a coin.

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

One of the big difference between Summoned and Spawned enemies is that you need an adjacent empty hex to Summon, while you just Spawn in the closest empty hex. So the difference between the skeleton spawners in the previous scenario and the Oozes is that if the latter don't have an empty hex adjacent to them they can't Summon - although they still suffer the damage.

Just throwing this out there then. If we block#5 and red guard gets in #2s face, #1 goes first and spawns in H1. Then there's no room for the other two. It's boring but effectively doing 20 damage.

I'm always down for a dubstep arrow green slime & fire party though to let the new party members strut their stuff.

This is 100% the best possible plan, imo. Pivot to blocking slime summons. Everyone's gotta go along with it though. Having one more vs. three more full-hp slimes is a big deal.

The cost is low. Wrap up this room. Plenty of time (and stamina potions) for setup turns.

I mean it's all up to you guys. I'm just part of the goonmind.

If y'all want to hubris early - go to town

Letty and Boris both being able to move 3 makes it a real possibility.

Instead of the oozes gaining 24 effective HP this round it'll be down to 4, with only one additional action on future turns instead of 3 and a potential cascade for future splits. Jamming up the oozes is a smart, cautious play.

Also Letty can get 4 curses into the deck if she Stam pots dubstep.

This is the way. Does Boris move with bottom move 2 and top fresh kill to get some damage in, or bottom fresh kill move 3 + jump to move more distance?

Does Boris want to back up a step and pop the most damaged one, or doom and shoot one of the further ones while standing in place? His 2 dmg a turn doom is too slow for these guys but I'm not sure which of the others are good. The bomb doom on #2 sounds good but they might scatter if they pull a ranged attack card.

Expose and Press the Attack at 13? That should still be slower than our speedster allies to preserve our never go first battle goal.
