The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I can go on, I'm just on travel and slow to respond.
What needs to be done here?
That's fine, then. Glad you're still in.
MrBody battled you. He rolled a Pain (a retreat), and you rolled a Kill. Kills are assigned first, so he assigned it to his Cultist. This gave him a spell book for losing a unit in battle.
Pains are applied next, attacker first, but you didn't roll any against the attacker. So, you have to Pain one of your units to an adjacent area that doesn't contain any Opener units.
Yes. I’ll go through the power and Doom calculations and post an update before we start the next turn. Have some family errands to run before I can sit at the computer, though.
I’ll assume that no one wants to do a ritual of annihilation at this point. Great Cthulhu needs to declare which spell book he’s taking in the Doom phase and I’ll message him the value of his Elder Sign. (Check Cthulhu’s spell book requirements if you’re confused about why he gets this.)
That's the move I would have recommended, @jdarksun . If you spent this turn summoning Nyarlathotep, you'd leave yourself vulnerable to Opener.
I gotta get dem spell books too, since Sleeper's book requirements are so difficult.
Hey, um, other cosmic horrors? I'm real sorry but I'm going to need that power I loaned you all back. The roof started leaking down here in N'Kai... you know how it is when unexpected expenses pop up.
Pay 3 power. All other players lose one power. Acquire Cursed Slumber spellbook.
@Mordenthral The 1st and 2nd post have conflicting requirements for an Opener spellbook. One says I need to have units in 2 areas containing an enemy gate, the other says it's 3 areas. Which is correct?

Oh and no ritual for sure.
- 2 gates - don't ritual
- 3 gates, no GOO - situational
- At least 3 gates + GOO - Go to town
Naturally not hard rules.
No ritual.
GC - 2 Gates (x2) + 6 Cultists (x1) = 10
CC - 2 Gates (x2) + 6 Cultists (x1) = 10
YS - 1 Gate (x2) + 6 Cultists (x1) = 8
OW - 1 Gate (x2) + 5 Cultists (x1) = 7
SLP - 2 Gates (x2) + 6 Cultists (x1) = 10
@Ketar , GC to decide First player between those that have 10 power, and direction of play. (If you choose yourself)
Assuming no one rituals, order doesn't matter for this Doom phase. If you are going to ritual, let me know.
Doom:
GC - 2
CC - 2
YS - 1
OW - 1
SLP - 2

You're good to go.
Capture Cultist in East Africa

Unlock Abduct spellbook
Courtesy @ to @MrBody so they know my action impacted them.
@Ketar is next (I believe)
10->8
@Saurfang

Immediately use Dragon Ascending to match player with highest power (9?)
@NotoriusBEN
I didnt really do anything the EU hadnt done already. I just put the stamp there to make it official.
Summon another undead via desolation
Pick spellbook zingaya for Vertical Slash objective.
8->7 sleeper spellbook objective.
7->5 desolation
@jdarksun for chaos
Steam - NotoriusBEN | Uplay - notoriusben | Xbox,Windows Live - ThatBEN
Oh whoops. Sorry jdarksun, mordenthral's list threw me off on table order. Disregard it's mrbody's turn. Also, you are crawling chaos.
Edit** oh hell, who's turn is it now?
Steam - NotoriusBEN | Uplay - notoriusben | Xbox,Windows Live - ThatBEN
8 -> 7
@Ketar
Order of play this turn is:
jdarksun - Crawling Chaos
Ketar - Cthulhu
Saurfang - Sleeper
MrBody - Opener of the Way
NotoriousBEN - Yellow Sign
So yes, @jdarksun is up for CC.
I'll drop an update in the next hour before I go to work.
@MrBody should be choosing a spellbook for awakening Yog-Sothoth, right?
The white glow is just a visual reminder of an uncontrolled gate so it isn't missed during Gather Power.
I did take the liberty of putting a spell book in for Opener, just for the update. I'll fix it up if MrBody chooses a different one.
Move 1 cultist from South Pacific to Indian Ocean.
7->6
@Saurfang
7->4.
@MrBody
