Narsham: Jun 5, 2008

We're on hiatus and I expect I'll have to leave some tips to whoever subs in for me when we come off (mainly about resources I wanted to hoard for the final room). But let's talk a little bit about tactics, tempo, and the specific situation awaiting the group when we resume:

Tempo is a term familiar to chess players; the word "initiative" would be more familiar in this context if it didn't also refer to a game mechanism. In essence, it's about how long it takes to do things, and which side is in control of where the action is happening. Let's look at a few potential situations involving the door being opened, assuming that the monster actions fell out as they just did, and see how player choices determine where the action happens:
Scenario 1. Splinter opens the door next turn, going fairly fast, with Bullwinkle going mid-initiative (it'd have been on 40) and Rocky going later with a ranged attack. Let's assume Splinter played the same two cards but went at Init 09.
A. Splinter opens the door. He can cede ground by pulling back to the coin or to G5, depending on whether he wants to get hit by a snake, and do a ranged attack immobilizing Viper 2. Or he could hold the door or move to F1, which forces Viper 8 to engage within the room.
B. The vipers go. 2 can't move, 3 moves to F3, 8 moves either to the door to attack Bullwinkle (if Splinter withdrew) or moves to G1 if Splinter halts in the doorway, or moves to G1 or F2 if Splinter ends in F1. Viper 8 gets to make an attack.
C. Bullwinkle goes on 40, with Fatal Advance/Balanced Measure. If Splinter moved to F1 and got hit by Viper 8, Bullwinkle would have the option to Move 6 (with the boots) and Attack 6 Viper 8 from hex G2, since the Oozes aren't attacking this round. Otherwise, attacking Viper 8 in the only option, and Bullwinkle probably saves the boots and makes an Attack 4.
D. Rocky may go before the Vermlings; most likely he moves up to G5/G6/the door and does a ranged attack on a viper. It's likely at this point that one of Viper 2 or 8 has been killed, and the other is wounded or (with some luck) killed. It's unlikely Viper 2 dies unless Splinter drew 8 off by moving into F1 and taking a hit.
E. The Vermlings go: elite to D3/D4, regulars to C3 and C4/D4.
F. The Oozes split into E3 and G4.

On the following round, the PCs either have a foothold in the room (Splinter on F1 and Bullwinkle on G2) and can choose either to engage at the intersection (possibly with Rocky dropping an obstacle) or pull back out of the ooze attack range, OR they haven't passed through the door yet and are fighting enemies as they move up. The latter option is safer but gives up some tempo; that's only a real concern if the oozes keep splitting.

Scenario 2. Our current situation, with Rocky and Bullwinkle doing nothing.
A. Splinter opens the door. While he has the same choices for maneuver, he's not getting any help. He can immobilize viper 2 and avoid damage by moving backward, or he can stay more forward and take a viper hit himself. No enemies will get killed this turn.
B. Same as above. Viper 8 hits either Bullwinkle or Splinter; if it hits Bullwinkle for at least 1, his armor is spent (and will refresh with the long rest) and he'll remove the poison on his turn.
C. The Vermlings go as in E above.
D. The Oozes split as in F.

On the following round, if Splinter pulled back, then Viper 8 is blocking the doorway and it's likely that the PCs can't get into the room even if they wanted to. If Splinter didn't pull back, he's at risk of being swarmed by multiple vipers unless he goes fast or Bullwinkle manages to beat the Viper initiative. If Bullwinkle comes into the new room, it's likely that at least three Oozes can attack him at range. If Splinter did pull back, there's a viper in the doorway and the fight's definitely happening in that area.

While the situation isn't that much different, Scenario 1 provides the option of pressing the attack on this turn and then seeing how well it goes before withdrawing or continuing. If Viper 2 got killed and Rocky got in a lucky hit on Viper 8 and killed it as well, pressing the attack is a possibility (although somewhat dependent upon Ooze action). Scenario 2 makes pressing the attack either much more dangerous or (if Splinter avoids getting hit, which is the better option) makes it nearly impossible.

Ooze 10 and its offspring are the only proliferation threat here, as the other oozes can get blocked off easily enough. If the Vermlings get a slow movement card or two, they offer a turn or two of grace in terms of additional unlucky splitting. Splinter and Bullwinkle could engage from F7 and G6; the main risk is overkill on a single foe or an attack that will be wasted unless someone steps forward. Rocky can engage from range with some minor LoS problems. Holding in the doorway does delay the Oozes becoming a factor, as it probably takes two turns for the G4 ooze to close the range and Ooze 10 and its spawn need a +1 move draw to enter the water.

TL; dr version? I think we're fighting in the doorway for a little while. That means we're giving up tempo and allowing the monsters to dictate our engagement area: compare that to the first room, where the monsters determined our engagement area in the sense that we avoided stepping into the Ooze fire, but where we were dictating the terms of the combat. We may get to that point again depending on how fast the "second wave" follows up the vipers, but it's fairly likely that we'll get jammed in the doorway for 2-4 turns before we can break into the room and have to hope that we aren't staring down the barrels of 6-8 oozes by that point. Bullwinkle has some push, but under these circumstances it probably won't be too useful.

EDIT: Tempo is a resource like any other, and sometimes it is preferable to give it up. From what I've seen of players (especially online), it tends to get overvalued, which is why things like Push/Pull, Retaliate, and healing are a little undervalued, because they're useful in part either to recover tempo or they trade tempo for some benefit. (For example, if Bullwinkle had a way to get Retaliate 4, he could jump into the middle of the enemies and let them kill themselves. This works better with more HP, shields, and lots of curses in the monster deck.)

I think if splinter moves back 2 and immobilizes the elite, next turn they can go fast and either kill or push viper 8 out of the doorway, giving Bullwinkle room to move.

A minor point, but if Splinter stands on the coin, then the Vermlings won't move (since the vipers will go first and block the doorway). So that also slows down the monster tempo, which is probably a good thing!

(It's not obvious, but there is a wall between the Brute and the F1 water hex).

I'm not sure running into the room where at least three oozes can make attacks on him is going to be a good tactic, though. Depends on what card the oozes pull next.

That's an excellent point. It does mean that Splinter gets hit instead of Bullwinkle and keeps Bullwinkle from recovering his armor. Also, if we're fighting the enemies in the doorway, stalling the Vermlings isn't necessarily to our advantage. Trample plus the boots is a Move 6 Jump Attack 2 all enemies moved through; if the Brute drops it in this room, he'd have a chance to one-shot the regular Vermlings. And Rocky is going to want as many enemies clustered together as we can manage. If we get a 6/7/8 Ooze spawn on G4, that ooze conga line is going to get congested coming up toward the door, so that would help, too.

5 regular oozes versus a poisoned character do an average of 15 damage in one turn. We don't want to walk into that until we've cleared the hordes of other things and can split the ooze fire, and preferably give them disadvantage by getting up close and personal.

Also, I'm not 100% sure if Narsham is gone already or if they are still around. In case they're gone already, in order to revitalize the thread after this hiatus, I think we can have the thread pilot ~~Rocky~~ Bullwinkle until Narsham is back from Turn 7B on. Having full knowledge of ~~Rocky~~ Bullwinkle's card selection should be somehow balanced by the power of the goonmind. I'll post instructions on how to vote for ~~Rocky~~ Bullwinkle's actions itt during the next update.

That's correct. (Which is good news for Rocky!)

Also, a reminder that the last hex of a Jump is considered normal movement. Meaning, Viper 2 cannot enter hex F6 this round (which could make a difference with how things shake out).

Reik posted:

Correct: it acts as if it had infinite movement and was jumping, so it sees a valid hex from which to attack its focus and moves as close to that hex as possible. Which is probably good news for the Cragheart.

Bullwinkle may or may not be using his boots, but will be hitting the snake in the door.

My suggestions for the thread for Bullwinkle's next few turns:
8: Assuming we rush into the room (which seems all but inevitable), play the bottom of Leaping Cleave and the top of Hook and Chain. Get air out, probably hook the elite rat but possibly an ooze.
9: Skewer for Attack 4 Pierce 1 on two oozes. Probably use the bottom of Sweeping Blow to move.

We'll probably go one or two more before I return. I suggest using the Minor Stamina potion in this room, and probably using Trample and one of the AoE attacks on the rats unless Rocky is able to deal with them. Another option is to use the Boots + Trample for Jump 6 and lots of Attack 2 and then the top of Balanced Measure. Bullwinkle's modifier deck is good enough that'll eat chunks out of the oozes.

I think using the earring in this room might be fine, too. I don't see how we're going to avoid getting hit hard by those oozes barring some lucky draws from their action deck. I recommend trying to spread damage somewhat if possible.

For Bullwinkle, I vote we go Eye for an Eye and Leaping Cleave. The intent is to go before Splinter and finish off the viper in front of us, freeing up the strengthened Splinter to finish off the higher health viper and generating wind for next turn. Whether or not we jump in to the room depends on the cards drawn by the enemies.

Mmm this is possible :v:

but I had forgot to record it in the sheet, and since it's been forever ago, I won't penalize SalTheBard for an error on my end. We'll keep this invisibility in under the "error in favor of the players" rule.

E: vvv yeah.

Thats what I thought too but it wasn't blanked out on my sheet so I chalked it up to asking to use it and TIG just forgetting to actually use it.

Couldn't Bullwinkle get a bit more damage from doing a full circle? G6, G5, F5, F6, back to start is 6 movement and should be five hexes total for Balanced Measure.

Balanced Measure should have been a base of 6. That viper should be dead.

Nah, it's the number hexes you move, not the movement spent.
