I'll try to keep 4 alive, but if the boss flies off before my move Ash might give it a bit of a beating before I can move him off!

I'm going to be, uh, making some suggestions on how the drake should spend its turn so if it dies then poof no double attack on Smaug.

Send your bear to like obedience school or something :-p

No problem on my end keeping that drake alive, but how fast are you moving? If fast enough you could probably control the drake before the bear decides he needs a snack.

I'm going as fast as I can to get Ash to hopefully beat on the Elder Drake.
I'm almost certainly going to pop the invisibility cloak this turn to keep alive.

This is all going swimmingly! (Not)

I took a safer play with Ash, so hopefully that won't leave me in trouble this turn.
I think I have to do a stabilising turn to heal the wounds and kill the Elite Rending Drake.

- Zephyr 3 focuses Pikachu! Moves2 to L3.
- Zephyr 4 focuses Pikachu! Moves2 to M4.
- Elder Drake (BOSS) focuses Ash! No one in range to Attack!

Now, Lina Megumin only has 2 cards left in her hand, meaning she can only lose 2 cards to prevent lethal damage. One could argue that, knowing that she would be focused by 4 monsters, she would have probably decided to lose the first one to prevent the 6 damage attack from the Elite Spitting Drake that has put her at 3 HP (with the next attacks being three 3 damage attack each, with each being potentially lethal, and only having the chance to prevent 2 of them). This means that the she would be at:
- 9 HP after the Elite Spitting Drake attack (losing one card to prevent 6 damage);
- 7 HP after the regular Spitting Drake attack;
- 4 HP after Zephyr 1's attack;
- 1 HP after Zephyr 2's attack;
Losing only 1 card instead of 2 in the process. Please Eeepies, let me know which card you want to Lose (and if you want to use a Stamina Potion; take a Short Rest - knowing that you can't reroll Reviving Ether; or take a Long Rest next Round).

Eeepies: May 29, 2013; Bocchi-chan's... dead.
We'll have to find a new guitarist.

TIG, my card list is pretty f-ed up I think. Fire Orbs and Flame Strike should be lost, I'm using Ether and Forked Beam, so I should have 4 lost, 1 active, 2 hand, 1 discarded.

I'm heading to E4, unless someone else wants the place? I'll probably think of whether to heal up or continue attacking depending on how successful Ash and Pikachu are.

Sorry, I forgot to update it after you told me which card you were going to lose, and also I messed up a bit. Fixed!

Doesn't help right now, but for the next round, if someone could get up next this bad-boy I can use some uh.... Persuasion to make you hit the bastard pretty dang hard.

I don't think there's many turns left for Pikachu and Ash.
Here's hoping I can go out in a blaze of glory so that we can guarantee at least winning the scenario.

Stress levels "super high!"

Scorched Summit, Conclusion

Pending actions from last Round posted:

"Scenario Special Rules
The Elder Drake occupies all three hexes of the obstacle it is on. If a figure can target any one of these hexes, they can target the Elder Drake, and the Elder Drake can use any of its hexes to determine what it can target. The Elder Drake cannot be forced to move or change positions in any way. The huge boulder obstacles cannot be destroyed.

BOSS Special 2
The Elder Drake summons two Zephyrs, represented by numbered tokens, then flies to the next perch of boulders in the order of (a), (b), (c) and then back to (a). Zephyrs cannot be damaged in any way. They perform �MOVE2, ATK(3)� immediately before the Elder Drake�s turn every round."

Master Splinter uses Minor Stamina Potion! Recovers Scurry and Into the Night.

Master Splinter uses Minor Stamina Potion! Recovers The Mind's Weakness and Feedback Loop.

Well that was exactly 15 damage in a round to the Boss I won't attack with the Spitting Drakes, as they could only kill 2 players at most, so their Turn is irrelevant.
Scenario Ends!

Conclusion posted:

With one final blood-curdling screech, the giant drake falls off its perch and crashes to the snowy ground. It appears to still be alive, but its breaths are weak and shallow.

�Bloodthirsty and obtuse. I don�t know why I should have expected more,� the drake whispers. �Congratulations on your stunning success. I�m sure you will be heralded as heroes upon your triumphant return. Adorned in crowns of gold and cloaks of silk. Riches will be laden upon you and five thousand...�

The drake�s whispers trail off and the breathing stops. Needless to say, the drake�s sarcastic predictions do not come to pass. You report your deeds to the Gloomhaven authorities and receive a modest reward to add to the modest amount of treasure you found on the scorched summit.

Rewards posted:

New Locations:
- None!

Scenario Rewards
- Global Achievement : The Drake Slain
- Lost Party Achievement : The Drake�s Command

Victory Rewards
+10XP each.
20 gold each
+2 reputation (current Reputation: 2)
+1 prosperity

All in all, a bit better as a reward than what the blurb wanted us to think. Still, not exactly Lonely Mountain levels of riches Treasure chest 23 contained this, by the way:

A situational item, or 25 gold, depending on how you look at it.

Having killed the Elder Drake, we can no longer complete "The Drake Aided" Global Achievement, and the events unlocked by it are lost to us: (Have a party gain both �The Drake�s Command� and �The Drake�s Treasure� party achievements � add City Event 75 and Road Event 66 to the decks, and gain �The Drake Aided� global achievement). In case you want to know what we have lost:
- City Event: the captain of the guard is not happy that we have not killed the Elder Drake, as requested, yet. We can chose to lie to him about our intentions (and lose 1 Reputation, repeatable) or tell him that we have decided not to kill the Drake (and lose 2 Reputation and remove the card).
- Road Event: An army of Inox is finally fed up with Gloomhaven's bullshit and is attacking the city. Suddenly, a giant Drake swoops in! We can chose to take cover (let the Drake deal with the Inox, gain 25 gold from the spoils) or fight the Inox ourselves (still gain 25 gold, but each starts the scenario wounded and has to discard 2 cards).

Battle Goals posted:

These are the Battle Goals that have been picked by our players for Scenario 34.
- Master Splinter: Ravager - Play two cards for their lost actions on the same turn. Xiahou Dun has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +1 Checkmark.
- Lina Megumin Inverse: Covetous - Never collect a money token from end-of-turn looting. Eeepies has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +1 Checkmark. +1 PERK!
- Pikachu : Hothead - Add two cards to your lost pile before your first rest. Kafila has managed to accomplish the Battle Goal! BG Completed, +2 Checkmark. +1 PERK!

Final Stats posted:

Final stats after Scenario 34 are as follows:

Each coin token at Scenario level=3 is worth 3 gold. Updated $$$ and XP for our party are as follows:
- Master Splinter: +18XP. (New Total 263XP) and +0 gold (New Total 54 gold). Master Splinter has enough experience to advance to Level 6!
- Lina Megumin Inverse: +12XP. (New Total 177XP) and +0 gold (New Total 18 gold).
- Pikachu : +15XP. (New Total 233XP) and +0 gold (New Total 38 gold).

Please forgive me if I have made an error in the XP tally. This Scenario, albeit brief, has been surpisingly heavy on the admin side. Feel free to correct the total if I am wrong. These are the cards available to Master Splinter for her level up:

Personal Quest progression posted:

- Master Splinter: None!
- Lina Megumin Inverse: None!
- Pikachu : None!

Updated Sheets

Our heroes are back in Gloomhaven. While they're in the City, something happens...

City Event 38 posted:

YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices:
- MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario 34!
- City Event outcome, A or B!
- Master Splinter: NEW CARD and NEW PERK. The list can be found in his character's sheet just above.
- Lina Megumin Inverse: NEW PERK. The list can be found in his character's sheet just above.
- Pikachu : NEW PERK. The list can be found in his character's sheet just above.
"- Money matters! Please specify if you want someone to buy/sell an item; the current Market pool is available HERE. Also, please if you want someone to donate 10 gold to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary, please remember to specify who!
- If you are planning an Enhancement, you can find the rules on how to calculate the price HERE."
At this time PLEASE DO NOT VOTE TO CHOOSE THE NEXT SCENARIO. As said, we'll stagger the vote to allow everyone to participate

A big thank you to our players,Xiahou Dun, Eeepies and Kafila! As I mentioned before, since this Scenario was a 4 Rounds extravaganza, I would propose our players get another go - unless of course they can't or don't want to!
