If we’re pedantically noting typos, you’ve written “heather” shield instead of “heater” shield in literally every update.

I didn’t have the heart to say anything until now.

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- We've found the location of the Clockwork Cove (66) in a treasure chest in Scenario 1. As the name implies, we would face constructs, traps and puzzles. This is a Side Scenario. This is what we can expect from the Scenario:

- We may want to investigate these sightings of a Dragon-like creature on the ridges west of the City and explore the Mountain Pass (16). If we do so, we'll run into some kind of Elemental Demons and kill some more Inox.

- The coin we've got as a payment from the Savvas merchant shows the way to something called The Temple of the Eclipse (81). Plenty of weird stuff over there, for sure! Also it is a BOSS scenario, so if we manage to complete that successfully Rocky will be satisfied with its adventures and retire, spending its days drinking rock based cocktails and chasing young lads away from his ornamental zen garden or something. This is a Side Scenario.

- Exploring the previous Crypt, we've found another location where the Cult may take shelter. If we are brave enough, we can venture into the Ruinous Crypt (5), where we'll face more Cultists, more Skellingtons and a cured selection of elemental Demons!

- We have been helping Jekserah against the Cult, but who's to say we can't spread out our love to every single necromancer in the land? If we want to gather favour with the Cult, we can try to clear up the Decaying Crypt (6) from the masterless undead that currently reside there.

- To help the town prosper even more, we could head to the Frozen Hollow (14) to try and unlock the Power of Enhancement.

- We can't currently access the Ancient Cistern (26), cause we lack a way to breath under water!
- Speaking of Water Breathing magic, we could find some exploring the Drake Nest (43), but we won't be able to until we unlock the Power of Enhancement.
- To figure out who was poisoning the wells in Gloomhaven since the Vermlings we've heroically slaughtered were not responsible, we could ventue down into the Deep Ruins (23).

- As suggested, we could also try any Scenario we've unlocked (including ones we've already faced) in Casual Mode. Players can still gain experience and money, loot treasure tiles, complete battle goals, and make progress toward completing their personal quests (for example, Rocky could retire if we face a BOSS Scenario in Casual mode and we win), but any story text or rewards listed at the end of the scenario are disregarded. Contrary to normal game play, we'll encounter City/Road events in Casual mode as well - to make things easier to manage and display more content. If we pick Casual Mode I'll add something to spice it up - most likely we'll get to see some of the other unlocked characters for a "Rocky and Friends VS an old Boss" adventure.

Scenario 14 - Frozen Hollow - Creatures posted:

These are the stats for this Scenario's creatures:

These are the ability decks for the creatures we've already faced in battle before.
NOTE: these are the "in the box" cards. We normally use the app ones, that automatically make the necessary calculations for us; the various "+1", "-1", etc are to be applied to the base value for that stat on the monster card. So if the base value is "Attack 4", an "Attack -1" ability card would mean that, for that round, the monster has an Attack value of 3.
Hounds:

NOTE: certain monster archetypes share a common deck. The combination of unique stat cards and shared ability decks allows the game to feel even larger than it already is!

Scenario 14 - Frozen Hollow - Introduction posted:

An enchanter has been called for, so an enchanter must be found. Following reports of an Aesther in the Boiler District, you find yourself standing before an abandoned and decrepit tavern: the Crooked Bone.
Opening the door, the inside looks exactly as the outside advertised: spiderwebs, splintered stools, and dusty, broken glass. Stepping past the threshold, a translucent female suddenly appears before you. “Why have you come to this place, mercenaries? Your presence is unwanted, and you are disrupting my research.” You quickly explain why you have come and the woman’s frown deepens. “‘Oh, look at the Aesther woman. She can fulfill all our wishes. All she has to do is wave her hands and our wildest dreams will come true.’” She sighs in frustration and actually does wave her hands. “Leave me in peace.” You don’t move. She stares. “Well, instead of disrupting, then maybe you could help. Scratch my back, maybe I’ll scratch yours. That’s how these things work, right?” The woman turns and walks towards a destroyed set of stairs, but after a few steps, she fades away entirely. “I need an orb from the Frozen Hollow in the Copperneck Mountains.” The woman’s voice comes from directly in front of you, as if she hadn’t moved at all. “Bring it back to me and I may help you.
A map drops at your feet. “My name is Hail by the way. Do not come back without the orb.” The map is easy to follow. Deep in the Copperneck Mountains, obscured by snow drifts, you find the opening to a dark, narrow cave. The wolf tracks around the entrance are troubling, but, with a firm resolve, you enter.
Scenario Special Rules
- Add three (-1mod) cards to each character’s attack modifier deck as a scenario effect (Master Splinter and Rocky are unaffected by this due to their perk selection).

Real quick, we're not supposed to know in advance that this scenario unlocks enhancements, right?

Nah, don't worry about it. I was hoping for a different character second go around, anyway. So I'll keep waiting and hoping for that next time. Thanks, though.

Tanky tank tank.

So for monster movement, how do we want it to play out? I think the elite Spirit is going to move onto the obstacle (it has flying) so it can shoot all of us. If that's the case, I suggest we have elite Hound 4 move to C7. That way, Hound 1 will move to C5, and Rocky can hit it with Massive Boulder to do a lot of splash damage.
