As no-one's commented, this is what I'm going to submit:

I'm going to move to D4, hit the drake with the attack from Hook and Chain, and the Flame Demon with Trample.
Hopefully splinter can position themselves so they don't get caught in the AOE from the other Demon!

I'm also going to use the moon earring and minor stamina potion and get back Fatal advance/Balanced measures.

I'm expecting to perform a short rest next rest, so want the items refreshed now.

And Eeepies, yes you can long rest while stunned! If you are Stunned you can't activate any cards on your turn, but any heal, move or attack actions gained in some other way (such as long resting) still happen.

I'll be in there with you this turn - going to do the classic move six, hit six combo to hopefully pop a rending drake.

I suggest we leave the Flame Demon behind us this turn, get in to the mix with the drakes we need to kill and maybe kill the Demon in a few turns if the opportunity presents itself.

Alternatively I can try and kill it this turn, but that means you're taking all the hits which might be bad.

Rocky is at 14/14 health, has 3 charges on their chainmail, and is going to heal 2 at the end of the round. Depending on what the flame demon draws, it's probably not a bad idea to finish it off this round before moving down to help Rocky.

Let's wait till we see the new cards first before we decide. Like Reik said, I'm still relatively tanky enough to handle these set of drakes.

I have not received orders for the Mindthief and unfortunately they still have 3 cards instead of 2:

"INTO THE NIGHT (14) [Lvl1]
TOP: LOOT1 - Generate DARK
BOT: INVISIBLE self"

"BRAIN LEECH (16) [Lvl3]
TOP: ATK4, Range4 - HEAL4, Self - Generate DARK, XP2 - LOSS
BOT: ATK1 - STREGTHEN Self."

"SCURRY (20) [Lvl1]
TOP: MOVE(4) - ATK1
BOT: LOOT2 - XP1 - LOSS"

I already have orders from the other players, so I'll let the thread decide on which cards and initiative to play. EDIT: also, I guess we should decide if we want to Long or Short Rest and what we'd like to lose/reroll. (The Mind Weakness is active atm, but can be discarded to increase the playable cards, so please specify that as well!).

First 2 matching votes decide!

Into the Night and Scurry. Initiative 14.

Splinter is starting to run short on cards and needs to get into the action now. She can run into the room of drakes this round and attack, then pop Invisibility Cloak. Then either long rest or use her stamina potion for next round.

I am protector of the innocent! I am the light in the darkness! I am truth! Ally to good! Nightmare to you!

I'd say Scurry for the move 4 and Into the Night so she'd be safe for a long rest next turn? Init wouldn't matter too much, but I guess go with the 14.

Not sure where she should go with that movement, but :shrug:

E: yeah she could use ItN as a generic move 2 so she could reach something to attack with scurry, and then use her invisibility cloak. That's a better plan. I'd still advocate long resting while invisible.

This, but moving to the door on the lower right. Y'all need to get that open eventually, and I doubt whatever's in there will be able to attack this turn. Open that door, then run like hell toward the groups on the left, which are hopefully dead by the time whatever's in the last room catches up. Gotta keep moving given how few cards you have, so let the monsters do the work.

Thoughts: Rocky is in a world of hurt. He's taking two Attacks 3 and an Attack 2 - not too bad on their own, but he'll also be wounded and poisoned, so he'll take an extra damage on his turn and not heal any HP.

I'm re-upping my suggestion from earlier: Splinter needs to get in there and assist. Move to C6 and attack one of the drakes. They're both at 5 HP so there's an off chance that one will die. Pop Invis Cloak, and use stamina potion to get back Into the Night, so she can attack again next round and stay invisible.

I agree, into the night and scurry, attack the spitting drake, stamina potion them both back. Bullwinkle should just finish off the flame demon so they don't get hit by a bunch of target 2 attacks from the rending drakes.

In theory, if Bullwinkle short rested and was able to move 6 the next turn and open the north door to this room, Rocky could drop two obstacles in front of themselves and block off the southern doorway.

Would it be valid if Rocky blocked the route first, or would Bullwinkle have to open the door before Rocky spits out some rocks? I think Bullwinkle would have to open the door first?
