Darkness Rising - The New Batch

[bob the 6th]

oh, then just shoot.

[tigerusthegreat]

Regus will be delaying until Phase 4 to see if the marbits are acting or not.

[tigerusthegreat]

Looks like Moe (The Colonel) is the only one who can act before Phase 5 that hasn't posted orders. Zed-too (Bland) is the only phase 5 person who hasn't posted orders

Colonel's last orders were to attack the marbit that Melissa ate. I don't see any further orders from bland regarding turn 2.


Group consensus so far seems to be moving Moe to L5 to attack the marbit. I'd say delay Zed-too until phase 4 with Regus, as moving him forward makes it easier for the mouse to blow up on us, and Wegio, who he was guarding, is still adjacent.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Zed-too keeps Guarding Wegio (which I think means he now must be side by side at least), while clumsily flailing at the nearest Marbit unit.

Amazing. Two or so days of little to no activity and when I check again today there's a flurry of posts. Hey, good thing we move

Moe really needs to move there, as opposed to K3 or K4 or somewhere else entirely, or else there'll be a path open for a marbit (or worse, a mouse) to attack Fort.

... See results.

PCs have been added to the Reference section. Please double-check the stats and let me know if there are any changes that need to be made.

Tenebris Karma : +11



Rock formations are impassible and provide a +4 Cover bonus to units standing behind them. All units other than Nemo have 2 Hex Move remaining, which means you can enter the hex, and flee the hex, but cannot re-enter it once you have fled. Nemo's mount has 6 Hex Move remaining, so he can leave and re-enter up to 3 times. Both sides are assumed to be Dodging when they start.

[tigerusthegreat]

As Moe falls, Regus grits his teeth. He knew he wpuld loose people, but being blown up and cut down from full hits in one round was not fun to watch. Regus moved to take up a defensive position near fortunes chance, using his spear to great effect against the marbit warrior.

move to j5 and attack the marbit warrior

[Nnelg]

Wait, why was Kilroy Dodging?

The whole point of him moving up like that was to provoke the mouse, and try to keep it contained.

Dodge doesnt matter vs explody but attacking it may have made it go off

[tigerusthegreat]

Also the marbit spearmen have 5 defense in calculations but it should only be 4.

[WaterMonkey314]

Well, so much for trying to provoke the Splody Mouse into attacking me. And Moe will forever be moe-urned. (Can we put him in an urn for Bill, btw?)

I recommend that the Luckamancer move to a protected square just in case we let those spearmen slip past in the next few phases.

Exactly, that was the whole point of Kilroy moving there... To "disarm" the bomb before it could potentially kill a more vulnerable unit (like Moe).

nah, they are all dead next round. hell, they are unlikely to live out the round. They will drop with one hit.

[Nnelg]

Just in case though, Regus should end the turn next to Zed-too so he can get some defensive bonuses. He's our most vulnerable high-value unit in the area besides Fort.


EDIT - Posting Orders:
Nemo moves to E9 and fires at MW01. Melissa moves to block the path to Fort and kill the nearest Marbit to him.

[MarbitChow]

move to j5 and attack the marbit warrior

There was an error in the post - both spearmen had delayed their move and action. This was reflected in the Results, but not in the Enemy Stats section. I've edited the Stats section to make it clear.

I need to point out that MS02 currently has a clear path to Fortunes Chance, and only Regus currently has a delayed action. The spearmen's hits have been adjusted (down to 5 for MS02). Do you still want to attack the Warrior?

[tigerusthegreat]

Unless there's some objection, I'm going to move to L5 instead (going up and around the rock formation) and attack MS02. Someone else will have to kill the MW before he moves to attack Fortune's Chance, but we have almost a full round to do so.

[WhirdCheese]

Fortunes Chance makes a Beeline for G11 before turning and fireing at any enemy he has line of sight against.

[LTDave]

When phase 8 comes around again:

Wegio moves to J4 and attacks MW01.

"This one is mine!"

[0beron]

...I'm confused about the Luckamancy that happened in the most recent update. Did Mo have a curse on him...? Because if so, he should have taken 8 damage, and the side gained 2 Karma...I think? It just seems like the terms and math are backwards/contradictory.

[BLANDCorporatio]

Shaking in his boots from seeing the passing of Moe, Zed-too breaks defensive formation from Wegio and wails on (ie attacks) the first Marbit Spearman (the one near him).
