Let's Play "OotS Board Game"

[Menarker]

Yeah, classic fight, possibly ending with Yik-Yik being headwear.

Victory!

Belkar gains another monster worth another exp, thus bumping his total exp amount to 4.

Belkar loses 1 Wound due to Halfing Rage (which is flipped)

Roy and Durkon gain the loot promised to them for their assistance against the two-headed Waldorf and Statler rip-off.

Two more "loots" are visible after the death of the psychotic midget (the kobold one, dummy!) for a total of four in the room, although only the top two can be picked up by Belkar at this time. (How many do you want to take, if any?)

What do you wish to do presently?

[Vesth]

First, I trade in 3 monsters for a shtick. Then, I pick up 2 loots.

[Menarker]

As you might notice from the two above posts of mine, Things are being ret-conned a bit due to a PM requesting the right to play a Screw This that was meant to be played during the time that I only allowed 2 hours of time between posts (which wasn't fair).

So at the moment, I'm rewinding back to when Belkar has offered his loots to Roy and Durkon for aid for the two-headed ogre, they accepted and Belkar rolled his dice for a success.

Roy, do you wish to play the screw this card at this time, or at a later point (the battle against Yik-Yik)?

(Also post what screw this you're playing, obviously)

[Madmal]

Right, playing this Screw This! card:

Spoiler

Show

Dun Dun DUN
When: When any player is battling.
Effect: Flip any one shtick owned by the battling player in order to increase the dramatic tension. It doesn't need to be a shtick that is normally flipped when it is used.

To be used to flip the Shtick Twin Blades of Doom on the fight against Yik-yik.

[Vesth]

Alright, having taken my shtick, I scream inappropriate curses at Madmal and end my turn.

[SlyJohnny]

((I think you still have to fight and maybe lose a wound, as you're committed to battle at that point. You could choose to use Hide instead, though.))

[Vesth]

((...and the roll modifiers for hide and the twin daggers are exactly the same....Mernaker, do I have to roll again? Since I committed to the fight with the Twin Daggers and all.))

[Menarker]

Hide wouldn't make a difference. And rolling when you have no weapon in this case wouldn't make a difference as Yik-Yik's bloodlust makes any draw a loss. (Winning without a weapon turns it into a draw, which then would turn into a loss)

But yes, you'd lose an extra wound. One from Halfling Rage that you were committed to, and another from actually taking a Wound. (So your total health currently is 2 / 4)

Two loots are on the floor from the dead ogre (loot has been re-rolled), but Yik-Yik prevents you from grabbing any.

Before Haley takes her turn though, I must ask... Previously, before the ret-con stuff, you had requested to trade in monsters for shticks. Are you still doing that this time? If so, are the choice of shticks still the same, or are you choosing a different one among the three?

EDIT: Got a PM saying he still is trading in his monsters for shticks. And he chosen a second Leaping Attack Shtick.

Show

Leaping Attack
Effect: Your 'Twin Daggers of Doom' shtick gains +1 Range and +1 Attack. If you Attack into a room using that shtick,you are moved into that room at the end of the battle. You may not battle additional Monsters or players in that room until your next turn, through you may pick up Loot if there are no Monsters.
Boost: Additional +1 Range and +1 Attack with 'Twin Daggers of Doom' shtick.

Your turn Haley (at last!)

[Epinephrine_Syn]

(Alright, lots of confusing stuff, but finally time to take my turn. Still not ideal but I don't wanna make the game stalled. Was right that it wouldn't come until after the winter break at least.)

Equipping Shiny Gems

Shiny Gems

Effect: (Durkon, Haley) +2 Attack and +2 Defense vs. Kobolds while equipped.

Moving downstairs to the same room as belkar and yik yik, and rolling.

Bow Defense +5
Elan +1
Shiny Gems +2
against Attack of Yik Yik of 12 (with bloodlust)
(1d12+8)[17]

[Epinephrine_Syn]

And picking up 2 loot from the room, after victory.

[Menarker]

"Hey, no fair! You killed my nemesis! Get your own!"

"It's more than fair! You killed my... well, Crystal wasn't classified as my nemesis on game paper but..."

"Whatever, I don't have time for another round of this separation of comic and game knowledge gag. Just don't go copying my shtick of skinning him into an object."

"That's gross! Why would I want to do that?"

"Have you even seen how much a snakeskin purse would sell on the black market?"

"... maybe if you put it that way..." *Sees Roy observing from the distance.* "Errr, I mean no. No looting body parts."


Haley gains the Yik-Yik monster card.

She also gains 2 loot cards to be PMed to her. 2 more loots remain on the floor.

[Epinephrine_Syn]

Trading in three faces of loots.
"Who says you can't buy xp?"

Bracers of Lechery


Bag of Gold


Beets of Striding and Springing

[Menarker]

Trading in the Bag of Gold with a small tinge of regret, and the perverted bracers and the headache-inducing beets with delight, Haley somehow feels something a little heavier in her hands...

Spoiler

Grappling Hook (FLIP)
Effect: You may flip this shtick on your turn instead of taking normal movement. When you do, move from your current room to the room directly above it, even if there are not stairs present. When you flip this shtick while on the first floor, move directly to the Dungeon Entrance. You may flip this shtick while the dungeon is collapsing but not while fleeing the dungeon after losing your last Wound.

"Oh, neat!"

Any other actions?

[Epinephrine_Syn]

I think we're overall fine with my turn, Turn End.

[Mekboy]

"Ah, the purpose of any true dungeon crawl. Experience for achieving ultimate arcane power, and loot for likewise."

I'll equip the Ancient Scroll and Ring of Invisibility and grab a loot from the room I'm in.

EDIT: Oh, and trade in my Bat Guano, Spell Booster and Spellbook for a new shtick.

[Menarker]

OOC: A little note before we proceed with the actual events

It seems I've forgotten to score V for one his backstories during his last turn.

Spoiler

Has A Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Sense *2*
Effect: Reveal and score points at the end of any turn in which you drew a Trap card from a room and subsequently Evaded it, or disarmed it.

In his last turn, he had triggered a trap here...

... and avoided it here.

My apologies for forgetting. But this is something I can easily amend!

V +2 Victory Points!

Now for current turn's events!
------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, I can't let you trade loots you don't have. You did previously have Bat Guano and Spell Boosterpack.

But you already traded those in for a shtick earlier. (You got Legendary Aim out of that one)

That said, you're equipped with the two items mentioned in addition to the two items you were equipped with in the first place (Looking very much decked out there V!)
(And you got the 2 victory points you should have had last turn.)

What next?

EDIT: Oh, right. I gotta PM you a loot. One sec.

[Mekboy]

Oops, my bad

In that case I'll trade 2 spellbooks and my megaphone for a shtick.

[Menarker]

You traded in:

Ambiguous Gender
Effect: When you Defend against another player, they must first roll a die. On a result of 1-3, the battle is a draw, as they have become thoroughly distracted by trying to determine your actual gender. On any other result, the battle proceeds as normal.

What next? (At least you can pass as either gender for heading into the washrooms now. )

[Mekboy]

"Brother Thundershield, you may experience a slight tingling sensation. Do no be alarmed, it is merely a fraction of my arcane might coursing through that accursed slime in the form of conjured lightening."

I'll fire a lightning bolt at the slime, using Legendary Elven Aim as I do so.

(1d12+7)[11] vs 11

EDIT: My bad (yet again). Though Lightning bolt isn't area effect, it seems I can't attack it from range. This could be problematic.

I'll move to the shrine of Thor, ending my turn and unflipping my Fireball with Elven Meditation Trance.

[SlyJohnny]

((You need to be in the same room as a stuck monsters to attack it, and stuck monsters can't be targeted by Area Effect shticks in any case. You'd have to move into the dark room with Durkon, and you can't reach it on this turn. http://www.apegames.com/OOTSAG_StickyRulesheet.pdf ))

[Menarker]

(V has been moved and his Fireball shtick unflipped.)

Alright, it is now Roy's turn.

[Madmal]

>Pick the remaining Loot card.
>If it's not a trap, I'll move 2 spaces to the Armory.

Also, i remind you I have recovered health thank's to Belkar's activation of my Fearless Leader shtick.

[Menarker]

I should really make a list of "trigger conditions" for this game. Thanks for the reminder.
-------------------------------

Retcon: Roy heals 1 Wound.

As he picks up the loot (which I'll PM to you shortly), Roy heads over to the Armory. Unfortunately, because there was no monsters left when V vacated the room, new monsters started swarming over the previous treasure left behind! And they don't seem to have appreciated someone else coming in to make the cut of the loot even smaller!

Durkon, Elan! Summon forth a monster!

[Zolkabro]

Out of the cracks in the walls, a vile mayonaisse-coloured slime oozes its way towards Roy. "Looks like somebody needs dipping in guacamole!" it hisses menacingly.

[SlyJohnny]

A tall, dark-skinned human woman dressed in red leather armor and a very serious looking pair of strap up ****-me pumps is kneeling over the body of the imp from earlier, examining how he died. She has an annoyed frown on her unnaturally beautiful face.

"Qarr always did bite off more than he could chew. Still, this ruins quite a lot of what I had planned. I'll need to find the spellcaster that did this and give them a few kisses. Just to let them know there's no hard feelings."

She eyes Roy as he prepares to meet the charge of the ranch dressing elemental.

"You don't look like a wizard, but I bet you can tell me where the one that did this went, can't you?" She stalks slowly towards the fighter. "You're likely reluctant to sell out a party member like that, but I'm sure we can arrange some kind of reward. I can be very persuasive."

Her form shifts about her. Leathery wings unfold from her back as she takes to the air...

"The only thing that intimidates me about that is that avocado stains are a pain to wash off. And Regular Ranch Dressing doesn't include avocado. And you need at least more tomato to make a proper basic guacamole.

Haley, basic battle formation, if you please."

Offering Thieve's Guild Dues Card for a defending bonus against the elemental.

Thieve's Guild Dues Card

[Epinephrine_Syn]

"Gladly. Let's try to keep the Durkon Incident a one time accident far in the past."

(Accepting the loot)

[Madmal]

So, unless anyone stops me, or i got the rules wrong, that's an automatic win.

[Madmal]

Actually, there's also the armory bonus, but the 1 rule does apply.

(d12+9)[20]

[Menarker]

The sauce monster splatters all over the armory walls and some of the scattered weapons that had fallen in disarray during V's previous battle. Unlike certain other ooze type monsters, this one stays down despite the slashing damage inflicted.

Roy gains the Ranch Dressing Monster card.

Haley gains the "Thieve's Guild Dues Card" Loot card.

A loot drops from the Ranch Elemental, but Sabine guards it and the rest of the loot stash.

What is your next course of action? Do you wish to continue fighting? Do you wish to trade in loot, exp or perform any other of the standard end of turn actions?
