The Toy Master - 1/3

Illusory Demon - 3/1

Granite Oni - 6

Tooth Fairy - 3

Treacherous Ape - 2

12

Tempest discards Grievous Hailstorm. I vote that Shamise hits the Illusory Demon so we can kill it before we have any Ongoing cards in play.

13

Looking awful familiar here....  (Nitpick:  Staff of Ra increases all damage by Ra, not just fire damage.)

"Your sacrifice is appreciated, Old Kid.  Now to remind Young Kid what a real hero looks like."

The Argent Adept.

HP: 14

Hand:  Cedistic Dissonant, Vernal Sonata, Inspiring Supertonic

In Play:   Drake's Pipes

Trash:  Polyphoric Flare

------------------------------------------

Start of Turn: 3 damage from Treacherous Ape.

Play a Card:  Cedistic Dissonant

Use a Power:  Vocalize Cedistic - destroy Drake's Pipes to nuke the Dark Hero.

Draw a Card:  Instrumental Conjuration

End of Turn:

-------------------------------------------------------

HP: 11

Hand:   Vernal Sonata, Inspiring Supertonic, Instrumental Conjuration

In Play:  Cedistic Dissonant

Trash: Polyphoric Flare, Drake's Pipes

Effects:

I vote that the Toy Master got hit, since I was always going to play an Ongoing this turn anyway.  Also when Shamise dies, Tempest should get the Rod since he doesn't have an innate damage power...it'll be redundant if he plays Grevious Hail Storm, but he's still the best candidate to hold the rod other than possibly Argent, who currently has little use for his Power phase, but aspires to eventually change that (if he doesn't die first).

14

Expat discards RPG Launcher

Over the line of unreal monsters a single white dove takes to the air. . .

"Eat lead !#$%#@!!"

EXPATRIETTE

HP:  18

Draw a Card:  Arsenal Access

End of Turn:

---------------

HP:  16

In Play:  Assault Rifle

Hand:  Arsenal Access, Hollow Points, Speed Loading

Trash:  Arsenal Access, Hollow Points, RPG Launcher

Next turn those Oni will be gone Adept.  (unless Dreamer cheats and gets more reduction or a whipacorn on me)

15

Don't forget that the Ape hits you (and everyone) on your (their) turn, Expat.

16

Granite Oni has DR 1 in and of itself, and all projections have DR 1, so only 2 damage gets through to him, leaving him at 4HP.  Good job on the Tooth Fairy tho.  Also, I think your EOT trash should not contain an Arsenal Access.

17

Uh, if you are talking about the advanced text for Dreamer then we have an issue, because the first round I would have done 1 instead of 2 damage and stun bolt wouldn't have gotten through reduction at all.

The illusory demons would have been at 4 after I shot them, stun bolt wouldn't have done anything and Ra would have reduced it to 2hp instead of killing it.  Shamise would drop it to 1hp and it would be alive for the villain turn.

We didn't apply the reduction the entire first round.

18

Maybe we should just call this a non-advanced game for a change?  After all, we lost once already....

19

Eh, I'm good with that. Gives you a fighting chance, at least :P

20

In that case please be sure to remove the damage reduction from the next Dreamer post.
