Episode 24: Akash'Bhuta

While in principle it might have been better to kill the Carapace first, it takes less editing of history to leave it the way it was, with the Barrage on the Rockslide. Assuming we do that, presumably Scholar will want to hit the Carapace rather than Akash'Bhuta herself.

How many hp was the Carapace at at the start of my turn then?  Same question for A-B?

I hate going back and editing things...

With the turns as stated, it went

  • After villain turn: Carapace 9, Rockslide 10
  • Tachyon: Lightspeed Barrage to the Rockslide, leaving it at 1
  • Visionary: No damage
  • Haka: Taiaha to the Carapace (7) and the Rockslide (Dead, under Savage Mana, 8 damage to A'B to 190)

Thus the Carapace still has a DR of 1 and Akash'Bhuta has a DR of 2.

 

The other reasonable set of turns (without too much editing) would be

  • After villain turn: Carapace 9, Rockslide 10
  • Tachyon: Lightspeed Barrage to Carapace (Dead, 10 damage to A'B to 188)
  • Haka: Taiaha to the Rockslide (7) and Akash'Bhuta (185)

With this set of turns, you would presumably hit the Rockslide for 5 damage.

Well, somebody figure out where things stand so that I can figure out what I'm going to be burning.

Drew Flame Spike.

I'm going with Option A, since that's what we have already done and it involves the least editing.  

The Scholar's MFtE damage goes to the Carapace [now at 4 hp], leaving A-B at [190].

Paging Mr. Meerkat:  the Final Wasteland requires your assistance...

The Final Wasteland

In Play: Con's Bunker

Trash: Abominable Snowman x2, Rat Beast, Amphibious Chupacabra, Horrid Skunk Ape, Ancient Library

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

Start of Turn: Gonna assume you destroy the Bunker, since it probably means a villain play otherwise, and said play would Disrupt The Field and destroy the Bunker anyway.

Play a Card:  New Jersey Devil enters play, plays Disrupt The Field; New Jersey Devil is destroyed.

Allies of the Earth enters play.

Rat Beast enters play; Akash regains 7HP [197], plays Mountainous Carapace; Unforgiving Wasteland is discarded.

End of Turn:  Rat Beast deals Haka 4 melee damage [30].

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

In Play: Rat Beast

Trash:  Abominable Snowman x2, Rat Beast, Amphibious Chupacabra, Horrid Skunk Ape, Ancient Library, Con's Bunker, New Jersey Devil, Unforgiving Wasteland

Play a Card: Arboreal Phalanges enters play, Horrid Skunk Ape is discarded.

When an environment target enters play, play the top card of the villain deck.

When a villain target enters play, discard the top card of the environment deck.

Environment trash shuffle? Flip!

Reduce damage dealt to villain targets by 1. Reduce damage dealt to Akash'Bhuta by 3.

Whenever an environment target enters play, Akash'Bhuta regains HP equal to the HP of that target.

Hero HP: Tachyon - 27, Visionary - 25, Haka - 26, Scholar - 29, Ra - 30

Scholar is at 29, after healing up quite a bit on his turn.

Also, if somebody could hit me this round, that'd be great.  I'd like to keep the Liquid/Energy train running.

I'll take the damage from AB. Also, how did she heal 1 HP during the villain turn?

And, if Tachyon can leave that Carapace[2] alone, I can gobble it up on my turn.

Allies of the Earth. Environment targets heal Akash of HP equal to that of the target.

Yep, but no environment targets were played on the villain turn. Certainly none that have 1 HP.

Could have been a typo.

On my turn, I'll use Mental Divergence to get rid of Allies of the Earth, and can also use Cerebral Hemmorhage to hit Scholar, the Rat Beast, and maybe the Phalanges. There aren't yet any harmless cards in the villain trash to use Suggestion on.
