What card did we pick as Master Splinter's level 5? Because apparently both level 5 cards are still available.

Anyways drat that's an hard choice, both embrace and dark frenzy look insane (little reminder, add +2 to all of Master Splinter's meelee attacks to account for her augment).

City A; we have an Orchid in the party.
Splinter's perk: Add two rolling +1
Megumin's perk: +2/element again
Pikachu's perk: +1 wound

Slight clarification, does Crackling Air trigger on each attack on a target 2? I always thought it was one trigger to give +2 atk to both targets.

Eeepies posted:

Slight clarification, does Crackling Air trigger on each attack on a target 2? I always thought it was one trigger to give +2 atk to both targets.

The bonus says "On your next 4 Attacks, add +1/+2 Attack", so each individual attack is one trigger. To work the way you mentioned (IE: 1 trigger, all attacks on an card) it would have to mention the keyword Attack Action instead, and specify that the bonus would apply to all Attacks on that action. See for example the wording on Eagle-eye Goggles (During your attack, gain Advantage on the entire Attack action.).

From the FAQ:

quote:

Action, Attack Action, Attack, Attack Ability, Attack Effects, Targeted

What do those terms mean?
An action is the top half or bottom half of an ability card (or the full card for monsters), or an item or persistent ability that specifically says it grants an "action". An ability that grants another figure an out-of-turn ability (like move or attack) is not an action unless it says "action".

An attack action is an action that has an attack in it. It constitutes any and all attacks made with that specific action.

An ability is considered an attack ability if it has the word "attack" printed on the card.

An attack is a single attack on a single target that flips over a single attack modifier card. If your attack action is, say, "Attack 3," then there is only one attack in your attack action. If it is "Attack 2, Target 3," then your attack action consists of three separate attacks. If the action contains separate "attack" lines, all are part of the attack action. If the attack is an AoE, all attacks performed as part of the AoE are part of the attack action.

An attack effect is the effect that occurs after the attack. It occurs even if the attack does no damage, including due to the NULL or Curse cards. You must chose whether you will do an effect attached to an attack before you draw a modifier card.

An ability is considered targeted only if it says “Target” or “Attack”

tl;dr: every time you have to flip another attack modifier from the deck, that's another "Attack".

Goddamn. Good job y'all, that was a crazy chaotic mess but you pulled it off. I agree that they should go again, four rounds is barely an appetizer!

- MVP/Play of the Game - Just.. everything
- City Event outcome - A
- Master Splinter: Dark Frenzy and add a rolling Stun (are we missing a level 5 card?)

Huh, I guess I retired my first Mindthief at level 6, because I've definitely never used either of those cards

City Event: A

Splinter:
Card- Corrupting Embrace the top is an attack 7 on one target that also poisons and muddles, and can be split across targets if you so desire, while Dark Fury tops out at an extremely conditional attack 8. Both bottom actions are nice, but I think the Mindthief is happier with an upgrade to Feedback Loop which we've been bringing into battle so far despite the garbage top action and initiative
Perk- Add Rolling Stun card

Lina- Add +2/Fire

E: Also yes, let anyone who wants go another round

Ahem...it happears that Master Splinter has not been using her level 5 Card (Mass Hysteria). It's cause she's too strong already. Definitely not because I forgot to add the card to the spreadsheet :v:

Anyway, this is the list of cards avaialable to her for her level up:

Oh, that? It's just a casual Attack 6 (effectively 8) non-loss with 2 xp, and a move 3 with a range 3 attack 1 xp on the bottom with valuable element generation.

You know, no big deal. :v:

Corrupting Embrace is effectively Attack 7 with two conditions (but probably more than 7 because of how great your mod deck is by this point) and a non-loss move 4 jump also with valuable element generation and a way to spread poison around. I think it's a better/more flexible card except against shielded enemies but YMMV. The lack of elemental reliance is a plus.

Both are really amazing cards, though. Like I said, anything you don't take now, you'll come back and take next level.

City Event 38, resolution posted:



Effect: Lose 1 Reputation (current Reputation: 1), Gain 1 Prosperity

#fantasyracism (I like the fact that if you have an Orchid in your party, no matter what you do you are going to lose reputation). We currently are at a single Prosperity tick (reachable in 2 donations) from Prosperity Level 4, in case this colors your intentions.

Votes so far posted:

- Master Splinter: We are at an empasse between Dark Frenzy and Corrupting Embrace, so please keep the votes coming! Splinter's new Perk is going to be add a rolling STUN modifier.

- Lina Megumin Inverse: our Spellweaver's new Perk is going to be add a +2/FIRE modifier.

- Pikachu : we don't have a winner yet between +1 wound or replace a +0 with a +2 so please keep voting!
- Money Matters: at the moment we only have 1 vote for these things (remember that we are 2 donations away from Prosperity Level 4):
° Splinter should donate (-10g);
° Splinter buy Major Stamina Potion (-30g);
° Spellweaver sell Drakescale Helmet (+25g) and buy Major Stamina Potion (-30g);
Let's discuss where our party should head to next! Since we've unlocked a bunch of stuff, I'm going to take advantage of a nice webapp called Gloomhaven Scenario Tree that allows us to keep track of everything we've completed, unlocked, lost access to or currently unable to visit. If you want to import the current progress into your webapp, just copy/paste the content of Cell F2 from the "Player List" sheet.


NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects).

Available Scenario Locations posted:

- We have discovered a portal to a mysterious Plane of Elemental Power. We may want to ask Hail for help closing it before something bad happens and brave the Forgotten Crypt (19).

- Or maybe we just want to jump through the portal and see what the Plane of Elemental Power (10) is about?

- We forgot we had somehow found the route to a pictoresque place called the Burning Mountain (82). Vacation time? (this is a Side Scenario)

- We may want to go back down the Mountain and investigate this...voice in the Echo Chamber (24) before leaving.

- We can longer follow the Drake's Request (since we have killed it); so we can't access the Savvas Armory (33) at the moment...but if we were to follow the voice in the Echo Chamber, perhaps?

- 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.

- We can now access the Ancient Cistern (26) and discover what was poisoning the City well, since we have access to Water-Breathing magic!

- If we want to do the same but take the long way to get there, we could venture 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, 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.
Wherever we're going, we'll have to get on the Road to get there!

I have added the new items to the Market Pool on the mobile friendly spreadsheet.
5) Spliter will buy one of the newly unlocked Major Stamina Potions (remaining gold: 14).
6) Lina will sell her Drakescale Helmet (+25 gold) and will buy one Major Stamina Potion (remaining gold: 14). The Helmet goes into the Market Pool. Also, Lina can only equip 2 small items at her character level (4/2 = 2), so whoever controls her will have to chose which ones to bring - until she hits level 5.

Scenario 82 - Burning Mountain - 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.
Earth Demons:

Flame Demons:

Stone Golems:

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!
We have already fought all these monsters, but these are Level 3 instead of Level 2. They have gained some nasty tricks...

Scenario 82 - Burning Mountain - Introduction posted:

Following the Inox trail, you find the remains of their village, burned and collapsed into a crevasse. A dark cloud hangs over the mountain directly behind it. You follow an old stone road, seemingly untouched, as it winds its way up the scorched terrain and ends at a cliff several hundred meters high.

You find a pair of great stone doors, warm to the touch and intricately carved into the side of the mountain. Once inside the doors, you see pools of liquid flame illuminating the room beyond in an eerie, red glow. Charred corpses of Savvas are scattered everywhere. The earth shakes violently and a number of demons turn their gaze toward you.


Side Scenarios are designed by guest authors, and usually have a gimmick. This one was guest designed by Jeremy Kaemmer.
