Episode #38 - Cosmic Delivery?

Episode #38 - Cosmic Delivery?

The shipping crate arrives via Interplanetary Express!  And out comes... minions!  It's a fake as Voss attempts an invasion before the new heroes arrive.

Heroes:

Ra (jsz2)

Naturalist  (cmschex)

Mr Fixer  (Medic-Tank)

Nightmist (phantaskippy)

Tempest  (I so saw this coming) (dshields)

vs.

Grand Warlord Voss (advanced) with his minions "disguised" by wearing secondhand elf hats

Environment: Mobile Defense Platform

===

Narrative hooks will abound, but we don't have Setback along for that extra bit of comic relief.

Have to pass this time around.  Though I'll certainly keep an eye on the game

Yeah my first pbf  game, I'll take fixer.

I would love to play, I am still a *Newbie* so if you want more experanced players I had alot of fun watching the last one.

Played Ra and Tempest, Played a game last night and my Friend was Naturalist, Had Croc form +2, Legecy +1, Ra +1 Fire damage, so they were doing 3+2+1+1 and 2+2+1+1 So 13 attack every round, Villain went down fast.

Grab whoever you feel comfortable with, it's first come first serve for the PBF games. Advanced Voss is a tough and tricky fight (having Fixer is really nice, though).  I'll take whoever's left after everyone has picked

Tempest is who I have played the most, So I will take him

I'd love to give Fixer a go against Advanced Voss. That said, I'm going to be off the grid for four days late next week and I don't really want to hold the game up while I'm gone. So if there is enough interest, someone else can have my spot.

Someone already claimed Fixer.  But I'll message you if the game doesn't fill up.

I'll grab Nightmist, would love DW Nightmist but regular is okay too.

That's what happens when I don't pay close enough attention. Sounds good.

I've never done a forum game before - I'd love to participate, if there's still room.

I don't have Vengence, so I guess I'll play Ra.

No problem.  Cmschex will get the Naturalist and the first villain turn will be up shortly.

If anyone has a question regarding notations, etc. being used you can look at a previous episode for examples, or simply ask.

Comments:
Voss' minion greet the arriving heroes with a barrage of energy bolts, bullets, and elemental blasts.  Voss himself stands in the back chuckling while he slowly tears a Santa hat in half.

Standard Round 1 unloading on the heroes.

Ra looks over the minions arrayed before him, draws his trusty staff, and focuses his power on the guardian.

Any formatting recommendations that I missed?

Only suggestion is putting the target's revised HP there after you deal them damage;  thus it would be GB Guard [2].  Easier for following players to know what HP the various targets have.

Ra looks on in envy as the Naturalist effortlessly destroys the minion that Ra had worked so hard to injure.

Question:

- Decrease damage done by hereos by 1  (Conquering Alien Warlord - Advanced)
- Reduce damage to GW Voss by 2 for each minion in play. (Conquering Alien Warlord)

- Reduce damage dealt to villain targets by 1 (GB Guard)

So Shouldn't all Villain targets be -2 And Voss Be -14??

Yes and no.   Advanced Voss on this doesn't add DR.   He simply reduces damage dealt by heroes.  So if you an ability that damages yourself or if you tried to attack an environment target that damage is reduced by one.   It's affects any attacks compared to normal DR

So for my Own Learning:

Use a Power:   Pyre: 1 damage to GB Guard [2]

So Would have read:

Use a Power:   Pyre: does 0 damage to GB Guard [3]

"GB Guard Laughs at Ra" 

Having the staff of Ra out is the reason you could deal one damage.  Without that in play, Pyre would deal no damage in the current setup to any villain targets.  

<o:p></o:p>

Ok but here is where I am confused<o:p></o:p>

- Decrease damage done by heroes by 1  (Conquering Alien Warlord - Advanced) <o:p></o:p>

So anything we hit is -1 <o:p></o:p>

- Reduce damage dealt to villain targets by 1 (GB Guard) <o:p></o:p>

So any Villain target we try and hit is -1 <o:p></o:p>

They don’t add to -2?? <o:p></o:p>

So with the Staff of Ra, Ra hits for 1+1<o:p></o:p>

So if his regular damage is decreased by 1 that means he hits for 1<o:p></o:p>

But the Guard decreases all damage to villain targets by 1 So Ra would hit for No damage.<o:p></o:p>

I’ll be able to post my turn in the morning after my night shift. Sorry for the delay

Pyre deals 2 damage.  The 1 damage was after damage adjustment.

How should we notate things like that?  With the initial damage value, or the actual damage dealt?

Ok that is where I was confused Sorry Just makeing sure I am playing it correctly, so Ra does 2+1 -2 = 1 

Sorry Ra Just wanted to make sure I understood the damage for when I play my turn.

Some say it's about getting the right tool for the right job, but I believe this wrench might serve well as a focus for my chi. Now to take out the most threatening I'll take a whack at that frost hound and get in an easy defensive stance with the wrench to protect my team-mates.

Mister Fixer

Start of Turn: --

In Play: Pipe Wrench

Trash:  --

Effects:  Fixer Damage Dealt+1, Fixer Damage Taken -1

Well that should cover my turn, is the way I showed modified HP on the hound ok?

Ha, yeah, sorry about wasting the damage from Ra, but I figured Cornered Beast in this matchup is too good to pass up

If you had not done that Fixer's damage would have been wasted, I just couldn't get over damage reduction of 2 on my first turn with my card draw and cornered beast takes care of many potential problems against Voss.

Strange that Ramonat would have dealings with an alien bent on conquering the planet he seeks to rule.  This is worth investigating. . .

What's our strategy here?  Are we trying to keep Voss at 1 minion and pounding him on this side?  If so, which minion do we want to keep around?

I'd say flip him and not worry about the damage.  Between Nightmist, Tempest, Fixer and Naturalist, we have plenty of heling/redirecting/tanking

Agree Once I get Hurracane out then I hope it will help me find my Healing card.

Alright, I'm game.  That's easier anyways.

Though I'm not so good at the whole healing thing so I'll have to settle for killing things with fire.

Tempest Says to Ra "I hope your fire can stay lit, because the wind is comeing. I have a Promise to Keep!!!"

Sort of amusing from the one character that healed this round.  And I hope you'll settle for fire since Ra doesn't have a lot of alternatives to that.

I hope everyone is straight on damage effects.  I'll keep the little reminder above the heroes on the status listing for the generic hero damage reduction as long as it is in effect.  And feel free to indicate the math "Hero does (2 +1 -1) 2 fire damage to X [nn]" if you feel that helps you keep things straight.

And feel free to ask questions if something is unclear.

Battalion Gunner [3]

Comments:
Voss' minions keep up their fire as they shift forces onto the nearby MDP.  And the equivalent to another Guard deploys. 
 

Notes:

1. If Nightmist wants to not use the Amulet she will take 2 more HP damage, to [22]

2. I redirected the Frosthound attack to an Ion-Lancer since hitting the Frosthound would have had no effect on it due to immunity.

3. Mea Culpa on missing Fixer's DR.  So there are options on how the minion damage can be distributed.

Damage will have to be recalculated my reduction from pipe wrench was not taken in account. Meaning:

End - Battlaion Gunner hits each hero for 1 energy damage; Ra [27], Naturalist [24],0 dmg (1-1) Mr Fixer [26], Nightmist [24], Tempest [19]

End -

 - Ion-Lancer (A) deals 2 energy damage to Tempest [17]
 - Frosthound deals 2 cold damage to Ra [25], Naturalist [22], 1dmg (2-1) Mr Fixer [25], Tempest [15].  Nightmist redirects 2 cold damage to GB Ion-Lancer (B) [1] using the Amulet
 - Shock Infantry deals 2 (3-1) lightning damage to Fixer [23]
 - Soldier deals 2 projectile damage to Ra [23]
 - Ion-Lancer (B) deals 2 energy damage to Tempest [13]

The revised modifications are in bold feel free to double check (I decided to volunteer to take the damage when there was a tie as the reduction helped me soak more). Here are the new hero life totals: Ra [23], Naturalist [22], Mr. Fixer[23], Nightmist [24], Tempest [13]

I concur with the correction and will thus take the revised options with Fixer's reduction used as much as possible.  Thanks for pointing it out.

 Tempest watches in amazement as Mr. Fixer dodges every shot that the Battalion Gunner sends his way. Then gets smacked in the face with an Ion bolt. “Why can’t I learn to do that??”

I would actually recommend that damage that Nightmist redirected get redirected to Tamar.  Then I can plink him, and the Naturalist can eat him for breakfast, and that deals with our 2nd guard.

With that in mind:

Ra feels his anger growing as he suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous minions.  He draws his anger around him like a cloak, feeling it envelope him in a nice, soothing warmth.

In Play: Staff of Ra; Flame Barrier

Trash:  --

Effects:

- Ra’s damage +1

- The first time a target damages Ra each turn, Ra deals them 2 fire damage.

Comments:  Flame Barrier makes Oblivion problematic for Nightmist, unless one ofthe cards is a 1, but it seems like a good idea for now.

Voss: "Lt Tamar!  Get some biogenic sensor readings of that human that took out my body guard.  He might prove an interesting specimen for modification."

HP:  22

Hand:  Bestial Shift, Feral Fury, Natural Born Vigor

In Play: Cornered Beast, Blend Into the Pack

Trash:  Shifter's Strength, Bestial Shift, Resiliant Hide

Effects:  The first time the Naturalist would take damage each turn, reduce damage by number of Environment targets in play (Blend into the Pack)

(assuming Nightmist target change)

Voss:  Not THAT close!  What am I going to tell my sister now?

Tempest says to Voss. “Serves you right, You will pay, and anyone that follows you will pay!!”

The Wind Starts to stir as Tempest focuses.

Nightmist is alright with the changes, discards Astral Premonition and mist-fueled recovery for the redirect.

Tempest Glares at the Gene-Bound Ion-Lancer's That have done him so much damage and Starts to visulize a cold wind comeing from the north and a warm wind from the south and pushes his anger into the buildup focus of his mind.

Noted.  Tamar roasted by The Naturalist.  5 Minions out there with 2 HP each; no DR.  Voss has 10 DR based on 5 minions.

Doesn't the Battalion Gunner also count as a minion?  That would put Voss's DR at 12.  (Not that the difference between 10 and 12 DR means much)

Oooo… Well noticed.  The tag is there - therefore environment "minions" count towards Voss' auto-win conditions, DR, and technically would have benefited from Tamar's damage reduction ability.

I guess this is one reason the Voss-MDP combo had a harder rating in the game generator.

I'll note in the status when an environmental target carries the "minion" tag

Changing his stance, one could perceive minute changes in the surrounding of the Pipe Wrench. It suddenly burst in flames as he struck down the hound. One less enemy on all the teams back would take pressure off Tempest and allow him to take exemple on the elder on taking his cool against his worst ennemy. After all the heavy breathing coming from him were more telling while not being as distracting as sight would have been. "Hang in there team we might be able to turn Voss' overconfidence against him. I know just the stance to take him down but we gotta keep him busy a bit more so my chi flows like water on a spring fall." 

Considering my card draw we could opt to leave a minion around and use riveting crane to penetrate through Voss' DR. I would feel safer without granting him extra card plays. We would need Imbued fire so I can reliably smashthrough his DR but it could be done.

Tempest Hears the Words of Mr. Fixer and gains hope. He is also overcome with great Pride in the Team he has chosen to join. These emotions mix with his anger and rage, and give him even more focus. He feels the emotions inside him start to swirl, and the wind around the Hero’s starts to match his inner emotions.

With the Enviroment Possible giveing him Minios also, we could have some in play for a bit.

Strike: 2 (2+1+1-1) 3 Fire Damage to GB Frosthound [X] Destroyed 

I don't know why you reposted my line of damage but Fixer's base power is only one melee damage thus the only 2 involved in this is the final amount as it really is 1 base damage +1 Pipe Wrench +1 Grease Monkey Fist and -1 for advanced Voss text. I guess I could have used the x to indicate the frost hound's destruction cause it fell to 0 Hp but that would become tricky against advanced Matriarch and Fixed Point Shinnanigans

Sorry I was going to ask you a question about that becasue I was confused, but I went out for a smoke and to fix some breakfest and the cat layed down on the keyboard and hit the "enter" key. I read the card and understand it now.

What confused me me was the 2 before the adding " 2 (1+1+1-1)" it looked like you had a base power of 2 plus 3 +1 adds and -1 for advanced, I am just used to adding then sum (1+1+1-1) 2. Sorry for the mistake. (Cat is not getting any treats today!!)

"Alien Encroacher, you are no match for the mists of the void!"  (a small fog appears on the ground before being blown away by the MDP ventilation system)  "Strange, that usually works much better than that."

Turns like this are why I love DW Nightmist.  Sigh.

Tempest Say’s to the Team “You better hold on to something, it’s going to get a little windy!!”

“Be gone Cannons” And a hurricane forms and the winds rip and shred both Gene-Bound Ion-Lancer’s, Sending small parts of machinery everywhere. As the wind dies down The Naturalist Turns to Tempest and Says “You got Oil on me!!!”

Mr. Fixer Turns to Nightmist and Opens up his hand and shows her a bunch of gears. “I could string these together for a nice necklace for you.” Nightmist scoffs.

And you can feel the Heat from Ra growing, He does not just want to warm up Dinner for The Naturalist. He is ready to Charr some for himself.

The Hero’s await too see what happens next……

Comments:
Minions go, Minions come.  The firefight continues.

Nightmist will discard Tome of Elder Magic{4} and Scouring Mists{3} to redirect damage from the Shock Infantry to the Psi-Weaver [X].

Then Mr. Fixer can take the Soldier damage since he has reduction and I want to stay highest HP.

Also if we want to leave shock Infantry in play and Nightmist at Highest HP I can use him to clear a minion each round.

If we flip Voss I can still redirect one of his shots each turn.

Impressive.

Nicely done. I've updated the villain turn accordingly.

Ra looks over the field in satisfaction.  The team has the minions well in hand.  Ra spends a moment to prepare himself before throwing himself once more into the fray.

Unless anybody has any problems with it, (Nightmist, I'm looking at you), Imbued Fire's coming out next turn.  It will make it difficult to deal with the Firesworn when it comes out, but Grease-Monkey Fist or Nightmist's redirection can cover that.

I know you guys talked about flipping him asap, but the draw of the imbued fire means that if next turn only one minion is in play I can overcome the DR on Voss with riveting crane so ALL damage on Voss becomes irreducible. That way we won<t have to flip him as we can just keep a minion that strikes the highest it<ll limit his card draw. [quote="jsz2"]

Everything is a matter of balance and now balance was getting closer to being restored. ''Minions seek enlightment and guidance in the wrong places I sure has hell don't have the time to bring light to this brothers life but he'll get to see light anyways'' Fixer then took cover behind the shield generator to surprise and give a quick wrench strike radiating an extremely bright rainbow to the Battalion Gunner's face.

Yes, it should.

I think we should leave the Shield Generator.  Sure, it will make the Battalion Gunners and Brutes a little harder to kill, but we have enough firepower to take them down easily, and it also protects the Propulsion System when it comes up.

Agreed with everything else.

It doesnt really matter, but yall skipped Naturalist's turn

Yes.  Corrected the Environment turn post accordingly.

My mistake actually sorry

Also, keeping the Shield Generator around gives the Naturalist an extra point of DR.

Good Point, I am sure he would like that

Question:

With just:

Gene-Bound Shock Infantry [2] (immune to lightning)
Gene-Bound Soldier [2] (immune to projectile)

Voss is at (-4) at the moment Correct??

Yes.  Just 2 minions currently in play as fodder to provide DR.

I may need to redirect damage twice to stay on top until I get Master of Magic rolling, then being highest shouldn't be a problem.

Tempest Calls down the Lightning and takes out the Gene-Bound Soldier. He then Calls forth the wind again but to little effect against the Shield Generator, and Voss just Laughs and says, “It will take more than that Pitiful breeze to stop me.”

But Tempest knows what is coming and smiles. Voss will not be laughing for long.

Comments:

Enough of this toying.  There are some interesting powers here that can be incorporated into my armies.  But there nothing here that can stop me.  You have wind and fog, but that is simply a distraction and not a true threat.
 

That's what I get for doing a cut-and-paste and not paying enough attention. 

And that Forced Deployment came out about 1 turn earlier than the heroes would have hoped.  Would be much easier to handle with Imbued Fire and Master of Magic already in play.

Yeah, Gunner's dead.  Between the Shield generator and a potential Environmental Allies, I dont think we have to worry about the Propulsion System

We may need a plan to deal with this wave of invasion or at least delay it until we can deal with it. I come up short, but I believe Tempest might have a say on not letting this planet suffer the same fate as his.

Ra addresses the enemy warlord directly.  "It's true, wind and fog are nothing to be afraid of.  But are you prepared to face the true might of fire?"

Scorched Earth:  Another reason we might want to have lots of Environment cards out.

Yup it could very well be the solution to the forced deployment with three environment cards it would wipe pretty much the board of the minions as long as the other GB Guard doesn't pop suddenly

So I know Nightmist was redirecting, but now my DR is so high that I can just tank everything and eat a minion per round to just keep one out

I'm going to trigger forced Deployment on my turn. The Guard will be hard to bring down, But I am willing to redirect one of Chain Lightning's bolts to bring it down.

We will have a Guard, 2 Ion Lancers, Frosthound and Psi-Weaver and a soldier, to go with our friendly Shock Infantry.

My plan:  Tempest uses chain Lightning to hit Guard for 4-2, then hit Nightmist redirected to the guard for 3-2 and the Guard is gone, then 2-1 damage to one of the 3 hp hit everyone minions.

Then Tempest can finish that one off with hurricane, and hit the other for two.

On the villain turn I will redirect shock infantry to take out a Lancer and Ra's counter damage can take out the other hit everyone minion before it can damage anyone else.

That means Ra will take a hit, Tempest will take a lancer shot, and Naturalist will ignore the soldier.

Did I miss anything?  Obviously the card play could mess us up, but at least we can deal with the Forced Deployment with minimal cost.

Nice plan, I was dreading my Doom, now this gives me hope.

You forgot the +1 for Imbued Fire though I can kill the guard on my own

Tempest Deals (4+1-1-1)  3 Fire Damage to Gene-Bound Guard [X] 

I would change it too:

Tempest Deals (4+1-1-1)  3 Fire Damage to: Gene-Bound Guard

Tempest Deals (3+1-1) 3 Fire Damage to: Gene-Bound Frosthound

Tempest Deals (2+1-1) 2 Fire Damage to: Gene-Bound Soldier [1] (-1; immune to projectile)

Use a Power:   Localized Hurricane [ Power 1 ]

Tempest Deals (3+1-1) 3 Fire damage to: Gene-Bound Ion-Lancer (A)

Tempest Deals (3+1-1) 3 Fire damage to: Gene-Bound Ion-Lancer (B)

Nightmist Redirects  shock infantry to:  Gene-Bound Psi-Weaver

Leaveing:

Gene-Bound Shock Infantry [3] (-1; immune to lightning)

Your plan sounds good guys, but knowing the environnment cannot get the villain to play cards and knowing that Forced Deployment has no direct effect when it enters play I would suggest pummeling Voss for a round and putting his forced deployment in the stratosphere so he gets delayed one turn.

Things were about to get personnal. Fixer changed stance and embraced Ra's Fiery Nature he then threw himself at Voss to force an opening in his guard. ''Now hammer him while his flank is open let's make him remember that we will not go down easily.''

I have an odd sense of deja vu... Infantryman!  You fire in inaccurate, and your ability to act as fodder seems to be impaired as well!

That villain turn was pretty much a cut and paste of the previous one - except Voss being down by another dozen HP or so.  And it bought the heroes a little more set-up time.

Ra sees the coming onslaught, and prepares to bathe the world in fire.  In the meantime, Voss is looking rather toasty...

As waves of Minions pop out of nowhere Voss smiles and starts to laugh. Voss says “And now little ones you learn why they call me Grand Warlord Voss. Mwhhaaaaaa”

Tempest steps forward and says “And now Voss you shall learn why they call me T-E-M-P-E-S-T!!!” and he raises he arms to the sky. Lightning crackles all around the Hero’s and everyone’s hair starts standing on end. Lighting starts to pour from the sky. Ra Chants a prayer and Ra says “Feel the power of Egyptian Flame”. He raises his staff and all the Lightning is turned into flames. The Gene-Bound Guard, The Gene-Bound Frosthound, And Both Gene-Bound Ion-Lancers are consumed in the Flames. While the Gene-Bound Soldier is charred so badly, he drops to one knee.

Tempest Says “You have messed with the wrong Team this time Voss”

Comments:
Assumed that Ra would take initial Psi-Weaver hit in order to knock it out with the retaliation.  And that Fixer would take the Fire hit between him and Naturalist since FIxer had DR.

looks good only thing I see is you need to remove from the Env effects:

- The first time a target enters play each turn, play the top card of the Environment Deck (Berth)

Cut and paste got you again

If everyone else will deal with Minions, I can drop my heal and start getting us back some HP

Na, if I'm immune to fire I won't have damage to redirect.

Alright.  Then I kill the Shock Infantry.

I think that we should switch to keeping the Firesworn alive instead of the shock infantry - It'll be easier to use AoE, and once I'm immune to fire, I'll be able to tank anything that Nightmist doesn't want to redirect.

Ra looks at Voss's new minion and laughs.  "Is that what you call the power of fire?  You may keep your little pet.  Its flames do not even warm me."

Voss is at -4 DR for Fixer's turn (Firesworn and Batt Mechanic).

Maybe the Naturalist should send his croc damage to the mechanic so that Fixer can kill Voss’s DR again?

Looks like Naturalist killed the mechanic with Croc power damage thus Voss is at -2 thus within strike range, if not I would have used salvage yard to reactivate overdrive and kill he mechanic himself. Thus I should be clear to grant irreducible.

Well that makes up for that Oblivion, quite a nice turn, and If it gets back to me I'm going to Mistbind him for the thematic end.

Tempest decides it is time to regain some of what was lost and from the storm clouds falls a Cleansing Downpour. Each hero feels Stronger but Ra Looks at Tempest and says “Do you know how hard it is to get water spots off of Gold”

So if I calculated right barring env, and villian turns, ra can do 11 damage, Naturalist can do like 11 or 12, Mr fixer can do 5 damage, So that takes Voss down to [1] HP For Nightmists turn.

Tempest Feels hope knowing That Voss is going to lose. That this team Had what it takes to fight off his hordes of Minions and to let him meet his Doom.

Weak sauce from the villain.  Heroes may now proceed with the finishing beatdown.

You've just been waiting to use that Fire Blast card, haven't you? 

I was mostly holding on to it in case we needed to deal with one of Voss's ships in a hurry.  But since Voss is going down hard, I saw no reason to save it.

But yes.  Any opportunity to ham up Ra needs to be taken.  He's so much fun to narrate for.

I figured that was why you were holding onto it as well.  And Scorched Earth or a Flame-Spike to trigger Pyre and Drawn To the Flame in the same turn in case there was a post-Forced Deployment minion horde to help beat on.

Yep.  We were in such control of the game that I could take my time setting up, and hold my big cards for emergencies.  Of which we had none.

I was Wrong Guess Mr. Fixer get final

Wrong again I need to remove the damage reduction from Voss thus won't be able to destroy him.

As Fixer prepared to tango with Voss he could feel all was said and done. ''I don't like the whizzz on that propulsion system maybe I should go take a look, as I can't say I'd rely on Mechanics willing to be experimented on this land this piece o' junk…''

Gonna be working in less than 2 hours, I was glad to play this game with you guys. Too bad the Fixer stars line up well I didn't think I'd draw everything needed to Rivet Voss and was more aiming for Jack Handle Tiger Claw, or a Driving Mantis. It just flowed too well from the perspective of someone not in my head for it to be a piece to show Fixer detractors.

See I thought Salvage yard would have allowed you to play overdrive, so you could use 2 strikes?? But he will still die reguardless

Voss was down to 4 HP at the start of your turn - so you did get to finish him off.

there you go

Tempest Is Proud of the team, he is proud that his promise has been upheld. He looks at Grand Warlord Voss and says “No one else will have to wear shackles like these.” In a time when so many things are around that bring you down. It is nice to remember those things that bring you up. Teamwork, Compassion, Friendship, and standing up for what is right and not letting all those bad things that get you down win.

Congratulations to the team of hero’s

The Mighty RA

The Naturalist

Mister Fixer

Nightmist

The Hero’s savor their victory and are always ready to fight the Minions of Evil. Till the next Time……

That was fun thanks!!!

jsz2, cmschex, Medic-Tank, phantaskippy GOOD JOB!!!!!

Voss twirls his slightly singed mustache and exclaims, "Curses, foiled again!"

Good job guys.  Advanced Voss can be rough.  I'm pretty sure this is also one of the quicker PBF games I've seen.  

Voss never dropped any of his heavy hitters, and Fixer got the exact cards he needed to punch through Voss's DR every single turn.  Without those factors, the game would have taken quite a bit longer.
