If a player uses a Loot 1 action while standing next to the bear, they will pick up the coin from underneath it.

I thought he was talking to the Beast Tyrant's player. (Although if the BT had a non-command loot card looting underneath the bear would still work.)

Yeah there's a card which lets the bear Loot, but I don't have it yet.

It's okay, there's usually spare change left laying around in the first room.

Now, I've just realized AtomikKrab's plan relied partially on using the Empowering Talisman to refresh Splinter's Invisibility Cloak; unfortunately, the talisman is only capable of refreshing small items (AKA: anything with a bag symbol, like the Stamina Potion). I've just realized there is no specification for the type of item in the Spreadsheet (cause most of them are fairly obvious), but the Cloak is a Torso item, like an Armor, and that may have been not that clear. I'll leave this to the players/the thread to decide if Splinter should have access to her Cloak, since this is my bad for not specifying item tipes in the sheet.

I'd say it's salvageable even without invisibility? Elite earth is stunned, one normal demon (I suggest earth) explodes, only the wind demons act. Worse comes to worst Splinter loses a card.

E: ugh the main problem is that the wind demons won't move and that's horrid positioning for anything I can do
E2: get that earth demon out of that hex and I have a decent position
E3: yeah elite demon to C2 and I can move to B3 and facetank next turn. I have good odds of killing the normal wind demon with the bow, the power potion and the googles.

Ash is moving in and the Elite earth is his focus.

If it helps you, I can use the top of Maul on the Elite, and can then Push the Elite back to C2. I could alternately move Ash deeper in and Maul the normal one, but if you need that space, it works for me.

I'll take a few attacks, but I'm more worried about how many negative cards I have left in my deck. It's getting small, and every negative card is still in there. I was hoping to use Energizing Strike this round, but that's what I get for looting instead of long resting.

Ash still has all his Super Bear attacks. Everything left alive here will be in movement range for him.

I'm phone posting so I'll see if I'm missing anything.

Anyways, I've revised my options and I don't really need Clear the Way so I'll simply use the loss movement for the XP.

I still think punting the elite earth demon to C2 so I can bottle it and parry the rest of the scenario with my face is a good choice.
E: that way I also have a really good followup next turn

Correct. There are a few scenarios which punish that playstyle but for the most part the vermling half of the equation never needs to move except to loot up the first room (not that most items are very useful for them).

EDIT: a well-played Beast Tyrant feels like an unstoppable force of nature, but you're beholden to the monster AI for half of the bear's actions and one slip up can end up with the bear charging into the middle of a bunch of enemies and getting destroyed, or cause it not to move when you intended it to, etc. With other characters you're always in control of the bulk of your power, but the pet-focused build of the Tyrant puts a lot of eggs into a basket you only have indirect control of.

Works for me. Ash is just as good in the doorway as he is a step into the room. Your choice - he's got plenty of move to slip past you if you want to stay put.

FairGame posted:

Nope - no LoS! The bear is a fully independent Summon with a few special rules, and Command cards don't have a specified range.

Most scenarios, Pikachu will not leave the first room. And probably pick up spare change in downtime, as he just did.

There's a second build of Tyrant where the vermling half will move along with the bear, but it's fiddly at times and not as well-supported at higher levels. It involves a lot of Disarming and - potentially - a lot of Summons, including some weirdo immobile Totems.

# ? Oct 14, 2019 18:56

This scenario being more or less a straight line slugfest certainly helps.

Yeah, to expand on this, you need a solid understanding of the monster AI and how to manipulate it for the bear build to work right, and even then it sometimes won't work out.

You have a few escape valves - we have two separate Command cards which let us move the bear, for instance. And Command attacks let you choose the target, so that's nice, as well.

Retaliate will chew him up fast, too - his best defense against it is to kill retaliators even harder. And as Zurai mentioned, some scenarios require the vermling half to walk a few steps on his tender, baby feet.

This scenario has basically been an ideal debut for him. Nothing too tricky, nothing Retaliating, nothing with giant fuckoff shields.

# ? Oct 14, 2019 19:05

Zurai: Feb 13, 2012; Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

Incidentally, I really like how that works from a storytelling perspective. As long as everything proceeds more or less how you planned, and you planned well (ie, trained the bear well), the bear follows your orders and annihilates your enemies. When things get shaky, though, the bear goes off-script, much like a feral animal presented with unfamiliar and unexpected circumstances. It still responds to trained commands, but doesn't fully do what you want it to do. It gives a good narrative sense of a wild beast which has been trained but not really domesticated. One thing I really admire about Gloomhaven is how well the mechanics and flavor of the classes generally mesh together like that.

turns we had to coordinate and manipulate the AI, monster and bear alike, to enable the face-eating.

Next level he'll get a card for shields, but it requires committing to the bear build and (at least temporarily) skipping the best card for an active tyrant.

Ash will be coated in whatever earth demons use for blood. No way to get both of them, sadly, but that Earth Demon is about to know some pain.

(With the caveat that I still have a null and a -1 in a small mod deck.)

Any desire to slow-walk that wind demon to collect xp and Loot, or have we ambled around enough, do you think? Has everyone made their goals?

Yep! The 'good' news is that the Bear doesn't do a whole ton of damage without Command cards - only Attack 2 - so you just let them gently gnaw on the enemy for a few rounds and shrug if it ends up dying. We just leave the last enemy with a few more HP than we otherwise would, let the bear draw all the fire, and it still usually works out. It's a consideration tho for sure.

Scenario Ends!

Conclusion posted:

What were Inox and demons doing together? And so far north? You rifle through their belongings, looking for some indication of their motivation. All you find is some crude scratchings referencing a �voice.� You glance toward the cave. There may be some clues farther down the tunnels. To the north, Icecrag Peak looms large in the distance. (25) Still, you feel something calling you to explore the cave. (24) Not audibly, but there is a subtle and powerful urge. You look down at the Inox�s scribblings. A voice�yes, somehow that sounds familiar. You can almost hear it yourself.

HAH! My Crit came up before my Null. Well, I guess we kinda killed them fast, after all. I feel bad we don't have more rounds to XP and Loot - I was planning to summon a friend next round after being lonely in that first room - but I guess all our modifiers came up positive or double.

Thanks for running the game, The Italian Guy. This was a ton of fun, and I'd love to do it again sometime.

Pikachu's battle goal...

Sociable: "Never leave a room with a character ally remaining in it." Rewards:✓

We destroyed this dungeon. We killed the second and third rooms in two rounds each - the third while not even trying. Maybe this was just an easy dungeon, but if the next crew wants to play at +1, I'd support the decision.

Omobono: Feb 19, 2013; That's it! No more hiding in tomato crates! It's time to show that idiota Germany how a real nation fights!

For pasta~! CHARGE!

Retaliator: don't use an attack action before taking any damage. One checkmark reward.

A lot of Rocky's cards get around that restriction because splash damage is not an attack. I did check if maximum cheese was possible, but you can't damage yourself with Rocky Slide as "allies" means "the other dudes on your side but not yourself" in Gloomhaven.

My other BG was Bulwark: stand in a doorway adjacent to two enemies.

MVP:
(It's a vote for Pikachu)

Seconding the difficulty +1 proposal.

AtomikKrab: Jul 17, 2010; Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

So I had perforated. Ie: take 6 damage in a single round. Which I did instantly thanks to jumping into a buncha inox.

Pikachu mvp. Bear is true hero of people.

That was fun... rather easy but we had a very good group comp for the scenario.
