I'm sure that that is an entirely benevolent Deep One...

Have to protect my Cultist from being captured! No ill intentions (yet). We may need to be allies later to take down Tcho-Tcho.

Daemonis

Summon Wizard in Central America, 4->3
@Preda

Preda

Move King to Europe. 3->2

Now that Cthulhu has done his move this round, I can talk with you Mindflare.
I notice you are feeling a bit hemmed in, but that's where I can help you. You just move through the South Atlantic or the South Pacific and I'll make sure you have the juice to take on Big C.
I might even throw in a cathedral for you as well.

Mordenthral

He’s not hemmed in. He can Awaken Rhan’Tegoth in the Arctic with 6 Power at any time and move through my areas.

Also, he doesn’t need to spread out like us. Standard Windwalker ploy is to build an army in the pole and then go stomp everyone with Ithacqua movement.

mindflare77

I am indeed feeling a bit hemmed in... What does a Cathedral do? #Newbie

jakobagger

Summon a Fungi from Yuggoth in East Africa

4>2 power

Mordenthral

Don’t let him divide and conquer!

He has a Spellbook to take that gives power for Cathedrals to him and an enemy if it’s in the same Area as one of their gates.

Worship Services (Ongoing) During the Gather Power phase, you earn 1 Power for each Cathedral that shares an area with an enemy Gate. That enemy also gains 1 Power.

Mordenthral

@mindflare77 is up too.

mindflare77

Summon one Wendigo in Antarctica.

4->3

Mordenthral

Rawr...

@Saurfang is up.

Saurfang

Recruit a high priest in the Yukon. 4->1.

@NotoriusBEN

Mordenthral

Wow.. lots of things to consider here in an 8-player game...

Second turn Hastur is no longer a threat, but who will get 3 Doom from YS? Who will get 3 Power from Sleeper?!

Will Sleeper try and take Power away from everyone in turn 2 to delay GOOs hitting the board? Is Tcho-Tcho going to hand out free High Priests to everyone in the first Doom phase?! When will Windwalker destroy Tcho-Tcho’s gate and is TT planning ahead for that?!!

What about the Ancients? We haven’t seen them anywhere before. Will they use all of their delay capability in turn 1, or spread out those Un-Men?

Will Crawling Chaos keep shaking the King in Yellow tree? And what is Black Goat doing in the corner over there? Gross!

Do my written thoughts affect your gameplay? Who knows? Am I being open or manipulative?

Saurfang

I assume Windwalker won't blow up my gate to summon Ithaqua because a) they want their big chilly boy with his army and b) they don't want me to immediately declare combat for a decent chance to unceremoniusly dispatch the wintry warrior (and earn myself a spellbook). But he might surprise me!

Mordenthral

Chilly boy, haha.

The official song for Ithacqua is now Die Antwoord’s “Ugly Boy”.

mindflare77

I believe I'd summon... Aw, crap. The R one (mobile, so being lazy about checking) first. Wouldn't destroy the gate, but would get me a GOO out there... And a spellbook. He also, ah, doesn't die easily, I think? I'm also pretty much playing it by ear so far, so...

Mordenthral

That’s right; the R one is hard to kill. You can assign a Kill or Pain to him, then in Post-Battle spend a Power to cancel it; even if you have already Hibernated.

Edit: The catch is that not everything that can kill you is counted as a Battle. I’m looking at you, Dread Curse of Azathoth.

NotoriusBEN

ok the KiY is in Europe.
Move cultist to Arabia
6->5
@Brody

Brody

Summon Flying Polyp in North Pacific.

4->2

@Mordenthral

Mordenthral

Recruit High Priest: South Pacific for 3 Power

3 -> 0

@Daemonis is next. I’ll post an update in 3 - 4 hours when I’m home.

Daemonis

Recruit Formless Spawn in North America. 3->0
@Preda

Mordenthral

Update is in.

I assume the Formless Spawn was to go to NA -West-.

@Preda

Preda

Desecrate Europe. Automatic success, gain The Screaming Dead spellbook and an undead there. 2->0.
@jakobagger

jakobagger

Move acolyte from West Africa to North Africa

2>1 Power

mindflare77

Hibernate. Gain 1 power from King in Yellow.

3->4. End turn, add 4 to next power total.

Let me know if I did that wrong; every possibility that I messed it up/misinterpreted something.

@Saurfang

Saurfang

Recruit an Acolyte cultist in the Yukon. 1->0

@NotoriusBEN

Mordenthral

Posted an update.

Remaining players:
jakobagger - 1
@NotoriusBEN - 5
Brody - 2

Saurfang

Got a couple questions for my fellow players: if you were to become first player, @mindflare77 , would you keep play order the same? And @Mordenthral , how would you break a possible tie for first player?

mindflare77

I could be convinced to keep it the same or switch it; I don't have any strong feelings on it (maybe I should, but at this point, I do not).

Saurfang

If you end up first player, I'd like to keep it the way it is, if it's all the same to you.

Preda

@Daemonis , could I interest you in a round 2 excange of 3 power point for 3 doom points?

NotoriusBEN

question. am I able to summon monsters on cathedrals? or do I need a portal like everyone else?
either way,

Create Cathedral in Arabia
Take spellbook Mindless
5->4

@Brody

Saurfang

I'm pretty sure you need a gate to summon monsters.

Brody

Flying Polyp to Yokun.

2->1

@jakobagger

Mordenthral

You need a Gate to Summon.

I’d have to see who was tied for first first. Just assumed at this point that it will be mindflare77.
