Kingdom Death: Monster - Super models struggle to survive the (NSFW) grimdark

Nealneal

My vote is to order them Knee- Temple- Ploy

NotoriusBEN

You are the one in charge of that @Nealneal , but yes, that's a good setup for Steve to wack at.

Nealneal

Let’s go with it then!

Kill it!!!

discrider

If the trap is triggered by the spear from range 2, will the lion be able to attack with its basic action from that distance?

NotoriusBEN

Yes, because basic action is move and attack

azith28

keep it like that, everyone else attack first. if we can get 2 wounds down stop then i can use the rawhide headpiece to reorder the cards again.

discrider

Rawhide headpiece reorders AI cards though...

discrider

Steve chases down the lion and attacks it's blindspot again:
Geth roll 2d10t6 to hit

to hit:

2d10t6 0 [2d10t6=2, 1]

discrider

Geth disliking my it's its confusion

azith28

hum okay then lets keep up the attacks, try to stop at 2 wounds and keep using the eye to shuffle that trap to the back of the pile as best as possible. since steve massively wiffed we still have two safe wounds to burn through. I'll attack next since i could potentially hit twice. i want to stay in the grass so i wont move into blind spot, just attack from the side.

Geth roll 2d10t6

2d10t6 1 [2d10t6=9, 3]

azith28

one hit.
Geth roll 1d10t5
beasts knee hit location.

1d10t5 1 [1d10t5=9]

azith28

standard wound, knee is hit 1 wound to the lion. now someone with only a speed attack of 1 go.

NotoriusBEN

its just me left to attack, but geth will have me batting a thousand. I'm going to move right 2, down 3 to get near the bug patch.
If badrolls and steven miss, I guess I'll sit up and take a swing at the lion after them. sitting on 3 speed means I'm begging for a trap pull, and no need to trigger it while badrolls is still in good standing.

we got 3 wounds on the lion so far. we are at a good pace. I need to look into extending attack range beyond just a blue savior..
(I know we had the opportunity for bone darts and a catgut bow, but even at 5movement, the lion would still be able to react to a survivor with 6 range. feel free to berate me when the lion is at 4 movement though...)

discrider

@MrBody for next AI

azith28

is ben rolling on the bug patch? hes got the action to do it.

NotoriusBEN

I can't reach it. I didn't move last round.

discrider

He can't get there this turn

MrBody

Monster Turn
Size Up
Target random threat, in field of view

geth roll 1d3

1d3 1 [1d3=1]

MrBody

geth roll 1d10t4

Khrom 1 brain damage, knocked down
5 -> 4

1d10t4 1 [1d10t4=7]

MrBody

azith28

well he brain damaged the right person at least. im all sane and shit

azith28

well you guys use the eye to bury the trap, and start smacking him. ill finish my turn in the morning unless we are left with nothing but trap.

Nealneal

Let’s see where the Lion wants us to touch him.

Valen will use the Cat Eye Circlet to reveal the top three monster hit locations.

NotoriusBEN

Depending what shows up for reactions, I'll need to move before you all attack or I'll get grabbed.

Wait to encourage me until we know the reactions.

MrBody

Beast's Temple
(failure: basic action)

Clever Ploy
(trap)

Beast's Scapular Deltoid
(failure: full move forward)

discrider

Geth roll 1d10 for this poor kitty's badly injured

this poor kitty's badly injured:

1d10 1 [1d10=1]

discrider

Lion takes a wound from its organ trail

discrider

I'd probably go temple -> deltoid -> trap, just because the temple crit is good.
Not sure though. The reactions can screw us.
Someone should perhaps get Khrom up

azith28

nm.

NotoriusBEN

Negative. Hit locations and AI cards are different.

As an example, there are some weapons that allow you to wound without drawing hit locations, but as it implies, you cannot crit since there is no crit effect without drawing a card.

Also, valen is probably the one to encourage me to stand. Since Badrolls and I cant and its probably good for Steve to keep survival for bad reaction hits or hits in general.

azith28

valen already used his action on the cats eye, he cant encourage you this turn.

as far as the card order as long as the trap is last im fine with that.
going to attack, again from the side, in the grass.
geth roll 2d10t6

2d10t6 1 [2d10t6=5, 8]

azith28

one hit, rolling to wound what i presume is the temple area.
Geth roll 1d10t5

1d10t5 1 [1d10t5=10]

azith28

holy crap, two crits in a row...
so 1 wound to lion and persistant injury . now at the start of the monsters turn he rolls and if he gets a 1 or 2 his ai card is discarded and he loses his action.

azith28

so steves turn, he can decide if hes going to encourage ben to stand, or just do his thing, then turn over.

Survival actions do not cost an activation, only the survival point.

Encouraged can be used at any time.

Nealneal

In that case, Valen says something meaningful about life and how you should treasure every moment because you never know when you’ll lose the one you love the most and Khrom should get the hell up and keep fighting.

Spend a Survival to Encourage Khrom.

discrider

Khrom should move out of the lion's path before Steve attacks

NotoriusBEN

Something is wrong, everything is going according to plan. XCOM senses are tingling.

Going to move next valen in the grass, so I am out of the lion's path. 4 spaces right

It's not too important, the kill comes first, but I'll need to score a wound to get weapon xp.

stop raising flags! (shouts out: "WOW this is going terrible! damn that RNG....")

El Skid

Ugh... Now I have that feeling of dread that a squad of Mutons is going to lumber into view any second and run to flank us
