Wow, sorry about my poor decision on Init. If I'd picked to go on 77 I'd be taking no damage and putting a big hurt on the elite oozes. They've pulled just about the worst card I could imagine for my plan this turn. Given that mistake, I propose the following: Everyone stay out of ooze attack range this turn. If Splinter kills Vermling 2 from where he is, Vermling 8 will move to F5 and I'll be able to Skewer him after a generic move 2. Rocky should be able to ensure both Vermlings are dead. The oozes will sit and do nothing. The following turn, I can jump over and murder a regular ooze, or I can drop an Attack 6 (or better) on both elites, depending upon what everyone prefers. If we want the Attack 6 option, I'll need to short rest at the end of the turn, so let me know opinions on that.

If you can split the 4 ooze attacks between Rocky and Bullwinkle 2 and 2, I think the group probably comes out ahead by getting in there this turn. There's a 1/3 chance the oozes split next turn and missing out on that attack 7 battle axe on the elites before a split would be less than ideal. Rocky could jump to D6 with Clear the Way and Crater the non-elite Oozes, pushing one in to a stun trap to limit it to three attacks. Reik fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jun 28, 2019 |

That's probably the best option. The elite Oozes will also be attacking at disadvantage, so it shouldn't be quite as painful. Backup Ammo is also active, so he can attack two targets.

Yeah, that's fair. I'll do that instead of my planned round. I'm a bit bummed I don't get to pull my planned combo of tearing a chunk out of the ceiling, tossing it into the room, tossing myself after it with the same impact, tossing it again, and racing across the cistern to punch the rock so hard it explodes. It's far from the best move, but I'm having a hard time letting go of the mental image.

I will glass house some of these slimes. Kind of hoping they'll draw the split card, because we should be more or less golden if so.

# ? Jul 3, 2019 11:26 |
Our players (and the thread!) have played this well, but tbf there is a bit of a big RNG swing with Oozes: if they go Round1 split > Round 2 big attacks it's quite painful if at least 1 character is in range.

The big issue with Oozes is that they run very hot or very cold.

Bullwinkle played Fatal Advance as a loss and thus can't lose it again to the short rest.

Our players have managed to position themselves so that they can mostly loot the place without a care, as long as they keep the last Vermling alive...the Ooze could kill itself at any time with another split card.

Conclusion posted:The Vermlings lie dead, their dark blood mixing with the pools of water on the floor. Investigating further, you find no poisons of any kind on the corpses.

I've seen this scenario go well and go very poorly, so I'm glad we managed a case of the former.
