Psssst…Dawn isn’t in this game.
I think you just spoiled the surprise. Pretty sure this was the halloween episode where all the villains dressed as other villains to try and get into the FF's HQ
I think the best bet is probably for Ra to take the pin, but I'm willing to discuss. Ra can heal, Ra isn't about to punch himself in the face, and we'll have more time to destroy the pin before his turn.
I'm amused by the notion of Gloomweaver wandering around the graveyard, looking for the body that looks most like Dawn so he can play dress up.
And what villain (other than Aminia) is actually likely to be let into FF HQ?
Guise?
I vote Ra too, KNYFE will burn herself down enough without outside help
Ra makes more sense. However, I won't be much help for removing it this turn.
I'll take it. I'm Ra, I can tank like THE GOD OF THE SUN!
Time for KNYFE to do some slicing and dicing.

I hope everyone is okay with Fire damage, because (stuff) is about to get real. Real uncomfortably warm that is.
Ra doesn't need to hit the Pouch - Naturalist ate it.
All fire damage might make some of KNYFE's stuff not so useful (or substantially more painful) down the line, but it's probably better for the group so I'd say go for it.
Fixed.

Pouch of Bones got broken, and I get to look at the bottom card of Gloomy's deck.
Ah, no HP regen! Thankee!
I can start tanking this round if we want to protect Parse a bit. Alternately, I can take out both the Pin and the Zombie
Crimson Pin is second lowest HP on the environment turn after the Zombie so Parse shouldn't get hit by that piece
You are correct, sir! Adjusting Parse and Pin's HP now...
Also, Bottom card of Gloomweaver's deck is a Sable Pin.
Sable Pin is not a friendly card, but there are worse about... Thoughts, guys?
Sable pin would probably go next to Omni-X, which would give us 4 turns to kill it before it does anything. It could be a lot worse; I would put it on top.

Ahh I missed that. I'm not as familiar with The Naturalist's cards. I've updated my turn

O-X is reducing melee damage by two with the Ablative Coating and since I still take damage from Nomti I get to deal 3 fire damage to a target. So Nomti would only deal 2 damage to me and I'll deal Gloomweaver 3 fire damage. Mdjai would not deal me any damage. So I should be at 22 health and still have my components.
It it would also mean Sable pin would go on O-X and probably should be a bigger target this turn. Though with the Imbued Fire I can take 6 health off of it.
Edit: I do apologize that due to other items I had to edit my turn multiple times and I think some things are still a bit messed up. At the end of the last turn O-X has these in play:

KNYFE and Parse both forgot about Imbued Fire, I think, and Parse also forgot about Predator’s Eye.
Yeah. I forgot about Predator's Eye as well . Updated now.
Powerhound, I missed that entirely, thinking you had Elemental Exochassis in play, which is what you drew. I will adjust momentarily... *smacks head*
Apologies on the Parse/KNYFE healing. Your listed HP are correct.
Bottom card of Gloomweaver's deck is a Chosen Disciple (the one that resurrects Zombies).
As of The Naturalist's turn, Gloomweaver's HP is 14!
Ra reveals Flame Spike and Scorched Earth.
I'll keep Scorched earth, because while it would be cool I think we are better off leaving them out right now, unless Naturalist would rather redo their turn.
Flame Spike goes into play.
Ra deals the pin 3 damage [6], then Gloomy 4 [13 after parse's shot]
Switched Plating back to Temporal since the environment isn't a concern now and Gloomweaver will likely be dealing infernal damage shortly.

I think the env. all survive Gloomy's turn with -2 damage taken, so we can flip him after his turn.
I do need a consensus decision on whether the Chosen Disciple (Zombie resurrector) will stay on the bottom of Gloomweaver's deck or not! I need this before I can proceed with the villain turn.

GW 5
Nomti fails to deal a hero target melee damage.
Effects: All environment targets now have DR 2 (Mdjai) (Environmental Allies). Hero targets are immune to damage from Environment Targets (Environmental Allies/Gazelle Form). If Spike Trap is not destroyed, it will deal 3 melee damage to the lowest HP target at the start of the Environment turn.
-----
In Play: Shamise [7]; Rod of Anubis; Mdjai [1]; Nomti [9] Spike Trap
Since Gloomweaver hasn't flipped yet I would say put the Chosen Disciple on top and make sure to take it out before flipping him.
If people focus Gloomy I am going to Scorched Earth on my turn for 7 damage to everything. So if people want to drop things low enough they will die to that.
I like Spike Trap in play because it gives me an extra damage to scorched Earth, but it is cool if people want it gone. I can even sacrifice Flame Barrier (although that is going to be doing pretty good damage to Gloomy) to get rid of it.
I think it's ok to leave Spike Trap in play for now we aren't severely low on health.
Agreed

Expatriette looks over from her reloading station, "Faye? What's the problem?"
Nightmist simply shakes her head, "They're in horrible danger. And we can't get there to help them..."
Amanda sets down her tools and looks over at the still open Tome of Elder Magic on the floor. The pages, still open, show the heroes scattered before a rapidly growing Gloomweaver, who seems intent on corrupting and devouring everything around him. Below, the single caption: "Gone, gone the form of man... Rise, the demon..."

I think we want to kill the Chosen Disciple before we flip him, otherwise he'll play a card with CD dies.

Good point.
Bottom of Gloomweaver's deck is Ophidia, the Deceiver.
Who's claiming the Rod of Anubis?
Environment - The Tomb of Anubis
In Play: Rod of Anubis (in Naturalist's play area); Nomti [4]
--------
Start: Spike Trap triggers! Nomti takes net 2 melee damage [2]
Play: Judgement of Anubis! Anubis takes the field [20].
End: A Hero may destroy one of their Equipment cards to destroy Spike Trap!
Judgement of Anubis allows Anubis to deal each target 2 Infernal Damage, though that turns out to be just Gloomweaver [94].
Nomti fails to deal a hero target melee damage.
Effects: All environment targets now have DR 1 (Environmental Allies).
Hero targets are immune to damage from Environment Targets (Environmental Allies/Gazelle Form).
If Spike Trap is not destroyed, it will deal 3 melee damage to the lowest HP target at the start of the Environment turn.
The first time a non-Environment card is destroyed each turn, Anubis deals the non-Environment target with the second highest HP 2 Infernal damage.
-----
In Play: Rod of Anubis (in Naturalist's play area); Nomti [2] Spike Trap, Anubis [20]
Naturalist, do you want the Rod? Me, Ra and K.N!Y,F^E? have equivalent powers, and Omnitron has Timeshift.
I'd be in favour of putting Ophidia on top; Gloomy has much worse.
Sure, I'll take it. I'm planning on staying in Gazelle/Rhino the rest of the game unless something goes horribly wrong
I agree put Ophidia on top. Gloomweaver will kill it but he won't play extra cards due to it.
Edit: If Naturalist is staying in Rhino or Gazelle form then he definitely should take the Rod of Anubis. I'll have my own damage dealing powers shortly anyways.
The blazing sun over the Egyptian desert is suddenly eclipsed, as Gloomweaver's pustulent form grows to mammoth size. The desert foliage dessicates and withers away in Gloomweaver's shadow. The time has come for Earth to tremble and die.

I hate to say it, but Anubis should also be dealing some damage since a non-environment card was destroyed.

edit: not sure why this double posted and I can't delete this either

I think we can keep targets between us and the Spikes, so I'm all for leaving it in play.

What are our thoughts on keeping the Environment in check vs tanking or going for damage?
I'll be playing Bio-Engineering Beam this turn so I can keep the environment in check. If you want to switch away for Gazelle I can destroy Anubis. If not I'll take the spike trap out since Gloomweaver will kill off his minion at the start of his turn

KNYFE launches herself forward, driving her gauntlet into the spongy, dead flesh of Gloomweaver's rotten corpse. The risen being flings the warrior-woman aside with a casual ease, sending her smashing into a series of canopic urns.
As she rises to her feet to struggle on, Anubis turns to Ra. "You fools," the jackal-headed lord of the underworld cries, " Aeons ago, it took the talents of the full Ennead to lock away Gloomweaver! Your meddling has doomed this world!"
Anubis gestures with his rod to the floor, where an ominous-looking book sits. "That is the Book of the Dead. It heralds the end of your world."

Start of Turn: Gloomweaver attempts to deal each target 5 infernal damage. Results are as follows:
Play: Vast Following! The villain trash gets shuffled and we peel 5 cards: Chosen Disciple, Grimoire of Curses, Zombie Servant, Chosen Disciple and Sable Pin are revealed. The Chosen Disciples and the Grimoire enter play. As of this moment, a Profane Zealot is on the bottom of the villain deck. I'm assuming you don't want to put that into play, as cultists will give me more plays. I play the top card of the Villain deck: Strength of the Grave.
End of Turn:
Gloomweaver deals Anubis net 2 damage (12) and deals the Swarm of Scarab net 1 damage [1]. Gloomweaver deals himself [40] each Chosen Disciple net 3 damage [4 and 4].

Rod of Anubis (in The Naturalist's play area)
Anubis [12]
Swarm of Scarabs [1]
---The bottom card of Gloomweaver's deck currently is the Profane Zealot.
I can do 10 damage on my turn, can we kill gloomy this turn?
I think either way it is better for Naturalist to take the hit.
I've got at least 11 damage coming so long as Anubis,the Scarabs , or the rod remain in play so I can use Bio-Engineering Beam and then Defensive Blast
Edit: thinking about it further unless I have a damage buff I'll end deal in one damage overall since defensive blast will wipe out all his minions but the Grimoire. So while I would deal 11 overall he would heal for 10 because I took out 5 targets and also end up playing two cards. So without a damage buff it may not be worth it.
So, KNYFE can either take out the Swarm of Scarabs or deal 10ish damage to Gloomweaver. It looks like we're up to 31 damage against GW. If we're going to be able to take him out, I'll just hit him. If not, I think I should kill the Scarabs so we can draw cards.
Keep in mind a Defensive Blast will kill the zombies (which will heal him) and the cultists (which will heal him and play cards) - we might want to avoid that unless it will kill him before it hits the others.
Also, keep in mind that you don't need an environment card in play to use Bio Beam. The damage isn't conditional on destroying something.
Yeah I wasn't counting on all the targets being in play this turn. Though we do need to take them out so we have some chance to deal with them. Gloomweaver might kill off what he puts into play as well if I kill them on my turn. Otherwise, we may be nearly dead if we don't finish him this round
I wasn't aware of that with BioBeam I had thought it would be conditional. Good to know
FWIW, Updated Intel doesn't need to look at the villain deck. She can check out some hero decks for potential Timeshifts.
Probably Ra. Anyone else will have drawn their card (assuming we kill Scarabs) before Omni's turn.
I can do at least 5 damage. If I could somehow get in Croc form or be Timeshifted into a Croc damage card I could do more
It seems like we won't muster 40 points of damage this turn. It may be worth while to take out the cultists before my turn and if any more minions come into play they should be toast by my Defensive Blast. Along with that Parse could setup Gloomweavers next turn and another hero's draw
We are getting pretty close to doomsville.
I can look at my deck if you want, there's a number of good options for timeshifting. Maybe a nice Flame spike.
[kung-fu voice] Enough talk! Now we fight! [/kung-fu voice]
Okay, so Vast Following revealed the Zealot, we left it where it was, then the Strength of the Grave lets me look at Ra's.
Sorry. I won't be able to type out a full turn for a bit. KNYFE will Wrecking Uppercut GW for 4 fire damage, discard a villain card, and then then Energy Lance the Scarabs, killing them.
The Wrecking Uppercut takes Gloomweaver to [36], but then he heals 2 when the Scarabs die, putting him at [38].
Discard from Gloomweaver's deck is Cursed Acoylte.
Actually, I forgot one of my cards in play. Damage to gw should be five, not four.
The bottom card of Ra's deck is Summon Staff.
Stick the Staff on top - it's a free draw and play, if nothing else.

Naturalist, I believe you’re at 10, not 12, given that you took the hit from zombie #2.
Summon staff, pulls staff from deck to hand, draw Fire Blast, play Fire Blast for 7 fire damage to Gloomy [23]
bump
Gloomweaver's first play from Cultist #1's death is another Zombie Servant, which dies from the Defensive Blast and heals Gloomweaver for 2 [24].
Bottom of his deck is still Profane Zealot.
Since it is a Profane Zealot on bottom probably best to play the next card after I take out the second Chosen Disciple
So it goes!
Play from Cultist #2 is....Vast Following! Revealed cards are: Zombie Servant, Cursed Acolyte (Enters play!), Pouch of Bones (Enters play!), Sable Pin, and Strength of the Grave.
Cursed Acolyte dies and brings Gloomweaver to [26] and provides Gloomweaver with another card play!
Pouch of Bones enters play, then takes 8 damage from Defensive Blast [17].
Card play from Vast Following is Crimson Pin, which takes 8 damage from Defensive Blast [1] and is placed next to The Naturalist (not that it's going to matter briefly).
Card play from Cursed Acolyte's death is Indigo Pin, which takes 8 damage from Defensive Blast [1] and is placed next to Parse (again, not going to matter, come GW's turn).
Yikes, ok I'll finish writing up my turn then. Thankfully it means we only have one more vast following to be worried about. Net gain on health for Gloomweaver on all that sadly and that pouch is back in play.
Parse has some options then for looking at the bottom of decks so I don't know if Phantaskippy wants to wait on that or not.
Please look over my turn then I think I got everything in there. For all that came into play of of it I think it had to be done or I don't think we would have survived the incoming damage from Gloomweaver's turn from him killing his cultists
So that's four card plays, so I get four peeks... Lets go Ra, Naturalist, Omnitron and Tomb.
Bottom card is Singularity. I'd rather leave that on bottom since there aren't many equipments to destory with it anyways to make it worthwhile damage.
My bottom card is blazing tornado.
Bottom card is Feral Fury
If you want them on top, put them on top; else don't.
Tomb of Anubis is Judgement of Anubis; I'm assuming you probably don't want to put that on top.
No Meerkat, according to the card it is your decision. I refuse to make it for you. 
It's your turn then Phantaskippy.
Did Anubis deal damage for things being destroyed? or was it all to hero targets?
I'll play Inferno for 5 to Gloomy [21], then 3 to anything that won't die from it, up to 5 targets. (I have no clue what all is out right now)
Power: Pyre for 4 to Gloomy [17]
Draw either Blazing Tornado or something else, depending on what Meerkat decides.
Yes, Anubis dealt damage to Gloomweaver during my rampage for only the first zombie dying again.
BLAZING TORNADO. And no Judgement of Anubis.
I'm assuming that Ra is dealing his damage to Anubis (who takes only 2), then destroys the two pins, which heals Gloomweaver to [23], and deals 3 damage to the Grimoire of Curses [11] and the Pouch of Bones [14]

In Play: Rod of Anubis (in Naturalist's play area); Anubis [6]; Akana [8]
Pushed to the brink, the heroes mount their final offensive against the swelling, bloated form of Gloomweaver. Omnitron-X's mighty defensive blasts, Ra's fiery wrath, and KNYFE's energy blades pummel the creature as Parse frantically barks out orders over her headset comlink. Gloomweaver's burning eyes fix on Anubis as the jackal-headed creature frantically grabs for the Book of the Dead.
With one massive claw, Gloomweaver grabs up Anubis and tosses him into his fetid maw. "Ra!" the lord of the underworld screams, "Strike now! Stop him before he consumes us all!"
Skinwalker Gloomweaver - ROUND 8

------------
Start of Turn: Gloomweaver attempts to deal each target 5 infernal damage. Results are as follows:
I'm assuming that everyone's going to discard a card for the Grimoire of Curses. If not, well...you guys won't last long. List your discards on your turn.
Play: Zombie Servant [2]. All Villain targets regain 5 hp--Gloomweaver [17], Pouch of Bones [14]; Grimoire of Curses [11].
End of Turn:
Gloomweaver deals Akana [2] and Anubis net 2 damage [x]. Akuna triggers and plays Cast into the Underworld. Gloomweaver deals himself [14] 3 damage, the Grimoire 3 damage [8], the Pouch of Bones 3 damage [11], and the Zombie Servant [x] net 2 damage. When Zombie dies, Gloomweaver heals to [16].
========================
Effects:
- Whenever a target is destroyed, Gloomweaver regains 2 HP.
- Whenever a cultist is destroyed, play the top card of the Villain deck.
- Reduce damage dealt to Zombies by 1. When a Zombie enters play, Villain targets regain H (5) HP.
(Start of Turn)
- Gloomweaver deals each target H (5) infernal damage.
- Each player may discard 1 card. Gloomweaver deals each Hero target X infernal damage, where X = H minus the number of cards discarded this way.
(End of Turn)
- At the end of the Villain turn, Gloomweaver deals all non-Hero targets H-2 (3) Infernal damage..
==========
Gloomweaver (16)
Grimoire of Curses [8]
Pouch of Bones [11]
==========
Knyfe - 5
Parse - 4
The Naturalist - 5
Omnitron-X - 6
Ra - 5
===========
Rod of Anubis (in The Naturalist's play area)
Akana [2]
Cast into the Underworld
For what it's worth, Anubis isn't a villain target, so Akana shouldn't trigger off his death. However, she'll trigger off the zombie a few seconds later so it won't make much difference.
KNYFE
HP: 5
Draw from previous turn was a second Prototype Servo-Gauntlet, which I'll discard to Gloomweaver.
Hand: Focusing Conduit-Blade, Prototype Servo-Gauntlet, Amplified Combatant
Play: Overcharged Null-Shield, Flawless Execution, Kinetic Neutralizer
Trash: some cards
-------------------------------------------------
Start:
Play: Amplified Combatant - deal 3 fire and 3 fire damage to Gloomweaver [10]; 2 fire and 2 fire to Grimoire [4] and Pouch [7]
Power: Energy Lance - deal 4 fire damage to Gloomweaver [6]
Draw: Energy Burn
End:
--------------------------------------------------
This part probably won't matter
I'll discard Indomitable Force. Also, if we can get him to 11 on my turn, he'll be Croc food
Well, he's at 6 now, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I've discarded Self Sabotage. Though I have a good feeling I won't have another turn for that to really matter.
Discard the card I drew last round, giing me +1 to my next damage dealt.
Parse
HP: 4
Hand: Extrasensory Awareness, Between The Lines, Impossible Shot, Exploit Vulnerability, Targeting Arrow x2, Gauge, Critical Multiplier, Updated Intel, Quick Calculation
Play: Critical Multiplier, Updated Intel, A Card
Trash: Quick Calculation x2, Syntactic Analysis, Data-Mining, Reveal The Flaws, Impossible Shot, Recompile, Between The Lines
Effects: Whenever I discard a card from hand, I increase the next damage dealt by a chosen hero target by 1.
Whenever a villain card enters play, look at the bottom card of a deck, then put it on the top or the bottom of that deck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start:
Play: Between The Lines - Let Ra Pyre Gloomweaver for 4 [2].
Power: Pinpoint Shot - deal 4 projectile damage to Gloomweaver [-2].
Draw: A card
End: Win!
The Croc is sad...was really looking forward to chomping rotting god flesh
A bit rough near the end but good job we took down Gloomweaver.
Thanks for running it PlatinumWarlock
My pleasure, guys! This one was a blast--right down to the wire... So who's starting the next one? I want to play!
As her allies gape, shocked by the risen Gloomweaver's savagery, Parse stands, silently calculating angles and trajectories. With a start, she cries out, "Paige! Left kneecap, then the shin below it!" KNYFE leaps to action, hammering the demon-beast's knee with her servo-gauntlet, then slicing across Gloomweaver's leg with her mighty energy blade. As KNYFE slides down to the desert below, Parse nocks and fires two arrows. The first sinks deep into Gloomweaver's forehead, while the second pins the demon's right food to a piece of scrub foliage. The demon stumbles, roars a final time, then crashes lifeless to the desert floor. Its form discorporates into so much refuse and rot, its relics vanishing, surely to be collected once more by Gloomweaver's deluded faithful.
Ra steps forward. "Anubis, my brother..."
The Naturalist steps forward, "He hated you, did he not?"
"No," Ra murmurs, "Not hate...we are an old people. We hold long memories and longer grudges."
"Perhaps, then, at the end, he forgave you?" The Naturalist clasps Ra on the shoulder, "Perhaps the rest of the Ennead may someday do the same."
"Under less tragic circumstances, hopefully." Ra turns and begins walking into the desert.
"Master Ra!" Omnitron-X starts, "To what location do you travel?"
"Nowhere..."
I'm happy to run it.
I discard drawn to the flame for my part.
And I love the ending. I think it captures Ra's out of place nature well.
I didn't like Ra early on playing Sentinels, because he was so vanilla. But I've grown to really appreciate his style and personality, and I love hwo he can never quite fit in anywhere due to the combination of host and god. It's a cool character.
Thanks for the game everyone. I think that one wrapped up nicely.
