[Chaos] Chaos in the Old World - Game 3 - Slaanesh Victory by 1 VP

Hi I'm Vee!

Well, just so you know, I'm going to laugh when you don't get your domination in Estalia because Khorne kills one of your dudes.

Laugh and laugh.

Eterenal

Summon a new Acolyte to Norsca. 0/6 PP remain.

Eterenal

Also, I'll discard Warp Shield from my hand before the next draw phase.

(M) Soporific Musk - 2 - When you play this card, choose one enemy Cultist in this region. You control that Cultist figure until this card is discarded.

I choose the 2nd cultist from the left!

(1/6 PP)

:^: I applaud this play! I was just wondering if Tzeentch was going to walk away with all those points uncontested.

Hi I'm Vee!

Summon Seductress from Estalia to Kislev. (0/6 PP)

Well, I mean, he's going to get just as many points as if I didn't do that, but at least now I get 6 points along with it!

Yeah, it doesn't necessarily hurt Tzeentch, but 9/6/0/0 points is a big difference from 9/0/0/0 points.

Actually, if you, with your last power point, had summoned your controlled Acolyte from Norsca to Kislev (possibly carrying a Warpstone with it, though not strictly necessary), you would have accomplished the same goals in Kislev and prevented Norsca's ruination altogether. Whether or not that's worth more than 6 VP to you is your own decision

Eterenal

Actually, he could do that, but as soon as the Cultist leaves Norsca I regain control of it, per the FAQ.

Rius

Ahh, I didn't realize that.

Hi I'm Vee!

Oh that's interesting, I hadn't ever thought about controlling one of Tzeentch's cultists and using them to drag a warp stone somewhere.

I can't see much practical or tactical use for such a thing, apart from denying Tzeentch whatever it is he wants. Which is generally a good idea, hehe.

Well, you can use it to insta-ruin a region that's one away from ruining, even if there's a battle cry there. Although, you'd have to make sure Tzeentch is either tapped out or has more important things to do than move his cultist back from where you got him.

HOLD IT!

That FAQ is out of date; the new one was supposed to go up in November, but still hasn't appeared on the website. The ruling has been changed, and control would be maintained through the end of the turn.

Checking for the reference link on that now

(UPDATED) Q: When you control an enemy Cultist using Slaanesh's Soporific Musk card, can you resummon the controlled Cultist to another region?

A: Yes, the Slaanesh player can summon the controlled Cultist to another region. If the Cultist is summoned to another region, it remains under the influence of the Soporific Musk. The controlled figure should be marked in some way to make sure everyone knows the figure is still under control of the Slaanesh player until the end of the turn.

Round 3 Battle Phase

1. Norsca - nothing
2. Troll Country - zilch
3. Kislev - 1 die
4. The Empire - nada
5. Bretonnia - 2 dice, 1 die
6. Estalia - 2 dice, 2 dice; apply another 4 kills at the end of the battle phase
7. Tilea - tumbleweeds
8. The Border Princes - stillness
9. The Badlands - A forlorn bloodletter looks for targets, but sees none. For the third time.

1. Nurgle to roll for Kislev [tiny](for the love of all flesh, be less than 2 hits)[/tiny]
2. Khorne to roll for Bretonnia
3. Khorne can roll for Estalia, or wait for Nurgle to roll for Bretonnia, if he wishes
3. Only after Khorne rolls for Estalia, Nurgle rolls for Estalia, then applies up to 4 additional kills from the Final Routing to figures.

El Skid

Bretonnia: Roll for Bretonnia: 2d6o6h4 1 hit. Dead Nurgly guy
Estalia: Roll for Estalia: 2d6o6h4 0 hits. Goddamn the dice gods are not with me. Again.

a little bit of Blood for the Blood God!

Darian

Huh... I really thought this was going to be your round to double tick. :?

Even the dice gods won't be able to stop me for the rest of the game...I hope.

Hi I'm Vee!

If Nurgle double kills me in Kislev, I'm basically going to quit.

I mean, not really, because that would be a douchebag move, but...I dunno.

Laugh and laugh.

If anyone is left in Estalia, it will be my forces.

Because nothing else will survive.

DarkPrimus

Kislev: 1d6.hitsopen(4,6)=0
Bretonnia: 1d6.hitsopen(4,6)=0
Estalia: 2d6.hitsopen(4,6)=1

I shall apply the Plaguebearer's hit to the Bloodletter, and kill all of the rival Cultists in Estalia with my Final Rotting. Twice.

Darian

Sure, but if Khorne hadn't rolled for shit (again) and killed one of your guys, you would not have dominated Estalia and received the 5 VPs.

Darian

Map at the start of the Round 3 End Phase:



1. Remove Chaos Cards from the Board - Soporific Musk goes away, releasing the acolyte

2. Hero Tokens are resolved - Hero in the Kislev attacks Nurgle (need a target)

3. Resolve Old World cards -
Warpstone Discovery
Khorne and Tzeentch each draw one Chaos card

4. Score Ruined Regions -
Norsca:
Tzeentch scores 6 VP
Slaanesh scores 3 VP

5. Advance Threat Dials - Nurgle has the most tokens
Khorne advances one click:
12 - Upgrade
Nurgle advances two clicks:
13 - Upgrade
18 - Score 3 VP
Tzeentch advances one click:
20 - Upgrade
Slaanesh advances one click:
8 - Score 3 VP

6. Check for Game end - the game does not end

Things that need to happen:
* Khorne to choose an upgrade
* Nurgle to choose [strike]a target for the hero of Kislev and[/strike] an upgrade
* Tzeentch to choose an upgrade

If you think it will affect your choice, feel free to wait for the gods ahead of you in power order to make their decisions. Once this is all done, I'll update all hands and we will move on to round 3.
Tzeentch has declared a discard of Warp Shield before drawing up to 5

Updated VP score:
Nurgle: 17 + 3 = 20
Tzeentch: 11 + 6 = 17
Slaanesh: 5 + 6 = 11

DarkPrimus

The Hero will kill my Plaguebearer.

Eterenal

I will choose to upgrade Power of Magic - +1 PP per turn

Hi I'm Vee!

Any chance I could get my hand update now, since I don't have any choices to make?

Darian

visiblehowl wrote: »

Already done; Tzeentch's is updated as well.

DarkPrimus

I am waiting for Khorne to declare his upgrade before I select mine.

El Skid

I will upgrade my Bloodsworn (Cultists) to 1/1/1

Blood for the Blood God!

Rius

Would it have been wiser for you, Nurgle, to use your one Plaguebearer hit to kill the peasant and then to use your Final Routing to kill off the other player's pieces?

It would make future Domination of Estalia slightly easier to obtain.

DarkPrimus

Ah, Rius, that is indeed a good idea. A shame I did not think of it.

Now, for my upgrade.

Provender of Ruin - Score 3 VP each time a region is ruined

Darian

Round 4 begins!

With a whimper. Oh, if only someone had killed a peasant...

Plunged into Chaos
Each player immediately scores 1 VP for each Peasant token he has claimed. The player who has claimed the most Peasant tokens scores 3 additional VP.
Discard this card instead of adding it to the Old World track.



Khorne is active to begin the Summoning Phase; all hands updated. Let me know if you spot any mistakes on the board.

Delmain

Ahahahaha Nurgle

Quoted for BotP and because I forgot this reminder: Peasant Uprising and Warpstone Discovery are both still in effect.

Eterenal

I'm curious why there wasn't a peasant in The Badlands? Shouldn't Peasant Uprising have placed one there? And if so, Khorne should get to roll dice from last turn to see if he gets 4 VP.

El Skid

Apparently you cannot play chaos chards into ruined regions. That's...too bad.

Thinking...

El Skid

Summon Bloodthirster (Greater Demon) to the Empire. 4/7 PP Remain

Blood for the Blood God!
