Also: I'm stupid and didn't stamina back the card I need to clear out all this crap.

This is solvable if TIG will let me do a mulligan on my stamina potion, and get back CLEAR THE WAY (instead of rumbling advance) and EXPLOSIVE PUNCH (same as before).

Otherwise I'm kinda stuck for a bit.

e: submitted new orders to you, TIG. Basically it's contingent upon whether I can re-select the stamina potion cards.

You were the last person in the round, except a stunned shield golem, so it's not like a lot of "in-game time" passed between your stamina potion use and us picking cards for this round.

Reik, I'm assuming your plan is to run ahead and shoot whichever front row gun is still alive after Rocky's 'sploding the pillar ?

FairGame
Jul 24, 2001

Der Kommander

Thanks for the do-over.

Unless there’s something I’m missing, my move seems obvious: move adjacent to the top gun (which will keep me out of range of the one in the corner) with a generic move2, then bash the pillar with a power potion and hope I don’t roll negative modifiers on both. Pikachu cleans up if I only kill one of the two.

Sound good?

Kobal2
Apr 29, 2019
I'm not sure you *need* the power pot - both Ash and I are going to hit a gun with Atk3s (most likely one each), so your own double Atk4 should be enough to kill them. The only way this doesn't happen is if one of us rolls their Null, or we all roll minus cards. The former is possible but whatareyagonna do (and the pot won't help if it's you with the Null), the latter is very improbable.

ETA : oh, your move still puts you in range of the backrow gun BTW. But it's OK, it'll shoot at me and I've still got both a heal pot and a heal move to negate that.

Cool. Will stay my hand on the power potion then.

Lemme know what y'all want cleared next turn--I think I can only clear 3 of the 5 times. Assuming we want the traps cleared since they're VERY annoying for the bear, plus I can use pillars as a weapon.

OK, then I'll stick to my original plan and sort of not do much next turn. Let's put the semi in semi-coop !

And I'm fine with your (eventually) long resting - much like Reik I've been planning on unleashing my POWERFUL summons at the boss all along ; and because I'll have to drop The Mind's Weakness this cycle I can't short rest and risk losing either it OR Gnawing Horde so I'll have to LR too, preferably before the boss is out there being his obnoxious self. The only issue in that scenario will be prodding the bear's butt along while there's no enemy for him to focus.

Hmmm. Here's a thing that warrants mentioning : I'm long resting the turn after next.
I can only really attack that gun in melee next turn, and I'll have to do it before Rocky moves - as said before, I literally cannot do it after (unless I burn my stamina potion a second time to pick a low init card, but that's not great, I'd rather leave that potion for the boss and it'd delay my resting). Therefore it would be best for me if both traps next to the gun were cleared, leaving the leftmost one if we want to use it for Shenanigans.
I realize it's one tile further from the door compared to the rightmost one, so pushing something into it will be a bit harder, but if my way to the gun isn't cleared this turn then on the next I either do nothing whatsoever, or stumble into it myself to smack the gun before I rest - which isn't a big deal but defeats the purpose of leaving it up.

By my reckoning, the gun takes ~1 + ~3 this turn, and a further ~3 from Rocky next turn which should be enough... but might not be.

Der Kommander

I don’t know what’s in the next room but I’d be a little surprised if we were able to push it all the way out into this corridor without having better options that DONT involve doing that. I’m fine clearing the two traps so we can melee things.

That said, ash and pikachu have a “heal 1, all allies” card they’re likely playing next turn. Which would take care of poison if you jumped into a trap at melee range. And since you’re long resting, the immobilize wouldn’t matter.

I think.

Reik

Keeping that trap up was only based on there being no reason at the time to spring it, but since it sounds like there's a reason to spring it now I'm 100% okay with that.

You can just clear out all 3 traps and keep both columns if that's better for you.

Doesn't really matter to me. I only have 1 card left that lets me do neat things with pillars, and I don't have a way to get cards back other than resting. The chances of me having 2 opportunities to use that 1 card on the 2 remaining pillars in this room are, uh...slim.

Heads-up everyone: I have changed my ssd and I'm running into some issues with the cached assets (that were corrupted in the previous release of the TTS mod but were saved locally on my machine); same problem I was having while running the game from my wife's laptop awhile ago.

Unfortunately this time I don't have the assets/I can't recover them easily. This means I'll have to rebuild the savestate of the game, starting from scratch...and that is not going to be super pleasant, although the thread itself is going to be a big help (and I can export certain assets, like the Town/Road event decks, from the old savegame). This will probably take at least a few days to attempt, so please bear with me and

One of the ways I could try to attempt to repair the missing assets is figuring out exactly what is missing, opening up the non corrupted mod and copying the steamcloud links to the assets. The problem is that as soon as you close the "missing asset" popup, if the mesh is missing the object disappears from existence; since I knew it this time, I opened up an old savegame to test it...and the assets are now gone from that savefile. So the world map (missing the mesh) is now gone completely, and even if I get texture steamcloud url I won't be able to apply it, since the object is no longer there. This basically means that I have only a single attempt to fix everything (since I only have 2 rotating savefiles - and one of them is now corrupt - and the autosave slot).

Also, some of the missing assets (like Splinter and Rocky's char sheets) are not static - I will have to restore the content of the sheet by hand even if i was able to fix the missing mesh/texture.

Also also, if something is still inside a box (like an unopened class or a monster that we have not seen yet) there is no way for me to know if those mesh/textures are gone as well - since TTS only load those assets the first time I "unbox them".

In the end, it's probably safer to rebuild the savefile from scratch using the new fixed module as a base :(

This too.
