I was gonna grab it too. Unsubmerge on land, 2 Power back to the Ocean!

Combo would have been:
Buy dimensional shambler. Place it after my target moves for the round. Then on my round pay 2 power to move the mob to shambler. Unlimited battle. Kill off shamblers first to be able to keep doing it.
Unblockable attack.

This is after my telegraphed free dimensioning of course...

Mordenthral

It'll work pretty well with He Who Must Not Be Named, too.

Exactly the reason I've taken it. Teleport to any cultist on the map. Call friends. Party!

Mordenthral

Would be perfect to give Opener some more mobility.

Saurfang

Summon Proto-shoggoth in the Arctic.

5>3


@mindflare77

Mordenthral

Mindflare has hibernated. @jakobagger

Saurfang

Oooh right! Sorry about that.

jakobagger

Um, I really hope you aren't doing any funny business in Africa, guys? It's kinda my turf so I'll be real miffed if you mess with it.

Anyway, cultist moves from North Asia to Bering Sea (8>7), which should bring me to having units in 8 areas. Gain spellbook: Necrophagy.

Power 7

Mordenthral

Well.. you did send your Acolytes out to be eaten..

mindflare77

@Preda for next move, I think?

Mordenthral

@NotoriusBEN I’ve just heard that during the playtest costs were 3, 4, 6; so the Spellbooks give a 3 Power discount across the board, so those will be the costs. Won’t effect anything that’s happened as far as I can tell.

Only passing through! I'll even leave a Byakhee there for your share with everyone book. Also, the king doesn't like to share space with Nyarlathotep, so,
Screaming Dead to North Atlantic. King and usual all undead band go. 5->4 Than Desecrate, usual great party, usual new Byakhee there. 4->3

@Daemonis next
@ArcSyn for elder sign.

Daemonis

Sleep. 5->5.

Not quite the cost savings with flipping extinction, but i can use them aggressively and still stall with recrimination.

Mordenthral

Summon: Star Vampire in South Pacific for 2 Power

3 -> 1

Map updated. @Brody

NotoriusBEN

oh also, did we want to try for a table top simulator game this friday? or does everybody got plans again?

Mordenthral

We can give it a try. Last couple weeks, my offers of games in the Facebook chat group have been met with silence.

Brody

Move Nyarlathotep to Europe (that space with all the yellow

4->3

Mordenthral

It shall be as you have commanded.

Messing with Uncle Hastur is never a good idea...

NotoriusBEN

move cultist from south atlantic to indian ocean
2->1
@Saurfang

Saurfang

Recruit High Priest in the Bering Sea.

3>0


@jakobagger

jakobagger

Sacrifice acolytes from West Africa and North Atlantic to gain spellbook: the Red Sign. Control West Africa gate with my dark young.

7 power

mindflare77

@Preda for next.

Mordenthral

I wondered if we would see 3 TT High Priests again this turn.

Mordenthral

Map updated

Preda

Screaming dead to South America East. Usual band goes.3->2. Than usual great party for autodesecration, He who is not to be named as book, elder sign and an extra undead. 2->1.

@ArcSyn for elder sign, @Daemonis for extra sleeping.

Daemonis

Sleep. 5->5.
@Mordenthral

Mordenthral

Summon: Deep One in S.P. for 1 Power

1 -> 0

@Brody

Brody

Sorry, have to replumb the house this weekend, things have been hectic.

Start combat with Uncle Hastur. Bring in my Horrors.

mindflare77

Huzzah combat!

Preda

@Brody , are you actually sure? That's kind of a suicidal move. I'll probably lose only cultist that will give me back the power to resummon them, while the chances for Nyarlathotep to survive are about 0,2% ...

NotoriusBEN

if there is one thing ive learned in this game, is that combat is a total crapshot. Ive seen nyarl's roll 6's for days and others couldn't roll higher than 3.
I want to say that most of the time when geth rolls on this forum, he tends towards the max number possible, except for when its me rolling. then he throws a number just under what I needed.
confirmation bias be damned.

Brody

Honestly, I'm not too concerned about it. The dice will decide who wins.

Preda

OK let's roll then...

Geth, roll 10d6 for Yellow Sign
Geth, roll 13d6 for Crawling Chaos
Geth, roll 1d6 for dubious CC extra attack due to my non faction book

Yellow Sign:

10d6 27 [10d6=1, 5, 1, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2]

Crawling Chaos:

13d6 44 [13d6=4, 4, 3, 3, 6, 1, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 5]

dubious CC extra attack due to my non faction book:

1d6 3 [1d6=3]

Preda

OK, you get 2 kill and 4 pains. 1 cultist and Byakhee die. 1->2. 3 cultist and the spider flee. I get 1 kill and 2 pain and use Spider power to change the 2 pain in another kill. Nyarlathotep and an horror die.

@Brody to make my monster run due to madness

NotoriusBEN

Keep in mind you only get 1 power from both cultists dying. Rules quirk that mordy could fill in on.

Right corrected my order. Only one dies now.

Brody

Your flee results go to Scandinavia.
