Grand Warlord Voss
VS

Chrono-Ranger (PlatinumWarlock)
Mr Fixer (cmschex)
Expatriette (phantaskippy)
AT
Insula Primalis
Let's go again! First come first served, as per, and we shall play on Advanced.
I'm in for Chrono-Ranger!
Opening Hand: No Executions, Jim's Hat, Temporal Grenade, By Any Means
As an aside--is there any objection to changing the turn order? We're going to get a lot more milage out of C-R and ExPatriette if we go last, particularly C-R. I'd probably advocate AA, Nightmist, Fixer, ExPat, C-R. If this is verboten, let me know...
I'm in, I will take Expat.
Opening hand: Incendiary rounds, Quick Draw, Tactical Shotgun, Tactical Shotgun.
For turn order I can go with whatever, if you want I can switch with you. I always thought Chrono did best at the front of the damage dealers, as he could use his bounties better that way.
I'm down for Fixer
Opening hand: Mediatation, Dual Crowbars, Pipe Wrench, Toolbox
Don't have a specific preference on turn order
I guess I can see both sides on it. Let's not worry about shifting positions or the like.
I don't have a problem with position-switching, but I guess if you're okay with your positions then it's moot :P
I'm in for A.A
Opening hand: Xu's Bell, Vernal Sonata, ARcane Cadence, Inventive Preparation.
I guess I can go first, for buffing purposes and what not, but up to all of you.
IT BEGINS, sans Nightmist.

Again, someone else needs to play a card. Edit: Yeah, Fixer would be ideal.
I can throw down two plays a turn from here on out, so I don't need it either.
Fixer, maybe throw down Pipe Wrench? The redirection/reduce damage combo might let us take out the other Psi-Weaver before he gets us all for 2 again.
Yup, I was just about to say I'll take the play to put a tool out. Editing my turn to reflect

I assume Banshee to Fixer for reduction and redirect, then adept hit for two, putting Fixer/Expat at 19 and Adept/Ranger at 18, with two damage to whatever fixer wants.
Oh, and one of those Psi-weavers is on the bottom of the deck.
If we let the Shock Infantry hit Fixer (who redirects), we could take out the Banshee before it goes. Since the damage is being dealt by the Shock Infantry, it doesn't get reduced.
So, it'd be:
1st Shock Infantry hits Expatriette for 3
2nd Shock Infantry attempts to hit Fixer, redirected to Banshee for 3
Banshee is dead
Firesworn hits Highest HP hero for 2
I approve this plan
Edited accordingly :D
Wait, how does Fixer redirect 3 damage, he can only redirect 2. He reduces it to 2 with Pipewrench, then redirects it, he doesn't increase it because it isn't him dealing the damage, nor does Advanced mode reduce it. He would just redirect 2 damage.
He redirects the damage from the Shock Infantry, because he can reduce it to 2, but because the attack is then hitting the Banshee there's nothing reducing it any more, so it hits for 3.
Damage reduced/taken to targets resets against different targets if an attack is redirected. Mister Fixer reduces damage dealt to him by one. If he were hit by an attack of three, reduced it by one, and redirected the two damage to Ambuscade, then he would deal Ambuscade three damage (assuming he didn't have DR).
Oh, well I've been playing that wrong. Thanks for the correction.
So with Tempest's Shielding Winds, and Pipewrench Mr. Fixer could redirect a shot of five damage. That exact situation would have won me a game, gah. Guess I have a new "Most embarrassing rule failure" now.
Sorry about today. Stuff came up. I'll be much more able to be attentive to this tomorrow!
Again, sorry about the delay!!

I'm pretty sure the Banshee was killed last turn, so Fixer would redirect to the other sshock infantry
cmschex is right, but either way, there are now a Shock Infantry and a Banshee in the trash.
Voss should also be at 88 (he's listed at 90 in the End of Turn summary).
Yeahhh, I was in a hurry. Fixed now.
If we could get rid of the Soldier before my turn, I could switch to Riveting Crane and we could start ppounding on Voss. Or, Since he's immune to projectile, would we rather redirect the shock infantry damage to him.

I'll take the 4, the others can take three.
I assume Ranger is taking out the volcano, that's his best damage option as well, if Fixer plays the yard on Adepts turn we can clear all Voss's guys out with fixer and shock rounds and do 8? damage to the stalwart to boot. Anyone see a better plan?
Also, don't forget that everything that just appeared has one less HP, thanks to Hairtrigger Reflexes...
Sadly not yet, I drew Hairtrigger, it may make it out this round.
Wow, I was off…Yeesh! Editing to reflect
Yes, go ahead and put the No Executions on the velociraptor-lunch Shock Trooper.
And, yes–I'll take out the Eruption with the Temporal Grenade. Salvage Yard would be great for me at this point, as it'd give me back two grenades and Jim's Hat. I'm likely still going to hold off on Just Doin' My Job, in favor of Ranger's Mark this go-round…
Also, don't forget that everything that just appeared has one less HP, thanks to Hairtrigger Reflexes… [Edit–Dangnabbit! I need to get my eyes checked or something…]

Sorry about that, completely missed the Salvage yard.
Skippy, you would have Pride and Shock Rounds back due to Salvage Yard, if you wanted to play shock rounds again, it would do 2 to everyone in addittion to your primary target
That might be a better move, especially with the Stalwart in play. That's going to hurt if we don't get rid of it soon...
So the Soldier should be at 1 and Stalwart is at 15 after Expat's turn.
[Argent Adept should be on 10HP, I think.]

No volcano.
Shouldnt the Firesworn by dead? And clarifying from my last post, with no volcanic eruption, the end of Voss's turn should have Voss at 42, Stalwart at 15, Guard and Soldier at 3 and Forced Deployment, if I'm reading that right
Yeah...definite editing needed on that post. I destroyed the Volcanic Eruption on my turn with a Temporal Grenade. The Firesworn would have been killed by the Velociraptors, instead of Adept taking the hit.
Adept, are you able to take out the Forced Deployment? If not, I can toss another Temporal Grenade on my turn, but that only gives us ExPat and Fixer to take out all those minions...
Argent has a Sarbande in hand which could nuke the Deployment. Alternately, if we want to concentrate on continuing to hit Voss I can Grease Gun since we shouldn't be of danger of being overrun this turn.
*facepalm* Why on Earth did I not notice that? My brain has been stolen by La Capitan or something... Editing now.
Grease Gun sounds like a good plan for this turn at least. If you're going to go ahead with that, the +damage boost from Adept will come in handy for me, as I was planning on throwing down Eyes on the Prize this turn (in addition to Jim's Hat). Lots of single-instance damage…

Now next round we have to kill that ship.
Fixer and I can focus damage on the ship, if need be, if you can take out the minions with a Shock Rounds/Hairtrigger Reflexes combo.
Only issue is that Voss will flip to DR side and the Guard will come back, so the hairtirgger will do no damage when the deployment happens. we'd probably be better off shotgunning Voss or the ship

If you can take down one of the Guards (ideally the one with 3 HP) before Expat's turn, Fixer, that would solve the problem pretty handily. I can get rid of the new Forced Deployment with another Temporal Grenade, which will happen before any of those mnions hit the trash. I can throw down The Whole Gang on a random minion (one of the ones with 1 hp), so you'd only have to deal 1 net damage to that minion in order to destroy the G-B Guard with 3 hp)
It'd mean we have to deal with the Ship for another turn, but collectively we (with some Raptor Help) get rid of *all* of those minions before they thrash us.
Also, how did Voss get 10 hp back from the start of his turn to the end? I thought he was at 33 HP.
He is at 33 HP.
AA, if you sacrifice one of of your ongoings (alacritous?) to only take 2, we can probably hedge on you not needing to heal this turn. If that was the case, you could play Inventive Prepartion to both boost damage and give someone a card play (probably Chrono to get out the Grenade or another bounty
I could definitely use that card play--I'd love to get out The Ultimate Bounty...
Sacrifice Alacritous Subdominant take 2 damage.

If Fixer is ok putting tiger into play he can kill the 2hp guard, put The Whole Gang on that one, use it to kill the three health one. I'll take the second damage boost and wipe the rest out. I won't do anything with all that damage reduction out there. Sadly I have to drop Hairtrigger so I don't die.
Shouldn't soldier also be at 1hp?
If the health for minions is all correct I would need Assault rifle and shock rounds to kill them all, If Crono doesn't need three card plays I could use that to get assault in so I can ammo it up and use it.
If soldier is at 1hp I can shotgun shock to finish them all, and crono can play three cards.
(I'm laying claim to the card play, so I can get out another bounty on my turn. For ease's sake, that AA's card play lets me throw down Temporal Grenade.)
(The Soldier is at 3 HP, because he's immune to projectile--your Hairtrigger Reflexes didn't do any damage to him. That said, you can leave him alive--the Velociraptors will take care of him!)

Please eat the soldier, firesworn is easier to kill.
I think we're actually better off letting the shock rounds/raptors kill off as many as possible and letting Voss flip.
If we leave the Firesworn, that's 2 damage for all of us. Voss would deal the highest 3 and the lowest 2--less overall damage. And, if he deals that damage, I get to nuke him with The Masadah. Plus, we'd get a turn with (hypothetically) no DR on Voss, which means more damage.
Well, we want to leave at least two for raptor bait.

Actually, if you pop the whole gang on the Guard, I can pop him to reduce to take out the Stalwart so we dont have a -3 DR in play
Good idea–I'll do that, then. Editing now.
I'm guessing we do not want Voss to flip while Obsidian field is out, so I'll attack Tamar and the raptors hit a minion. Hopefully I get something good with Arsenal Access.
One or two rounds and we got this, let us hope the environment is kind.
Edit: With damage +2 and -2 I can do at least four, if a bonus damage ammo comes out with arsenal access I will kill the Lieutenant. That is my hope, we'll see Sadly I chose to save shock rounds and use inferno last turn, otherwise I'd be set. Shock will be great for finishing this mess though.
If I get a +damage ammo with arsenal access we will be left with one after the enviro turn. (unless the environment screws us up, which it likes to do)
Actually, could we manipulate it so that Tamar is at 1? I cant remember how much damage Expat can do, but if the raptors could hit here, we should only take damge from the minions
Ideal scenario is us leaving precisely one minion out after the environment turn: that keeps Voss from flipping and reduces the overall damage we're taking.

Alright, let's hope we survive this.
If we can survive the next round, having RPG or Temporal Grenade are nice options for environment control
I'd really like to use my Power phase to deal a crap-ton of damage to Voss, so I'd prefer to hang onto the Temporal Grenade for a bit.
Plus, RPG Launcher will deal damage on its own during the Play phase. More instances of damage are good...
There are 8 cards in the Enviroment deck, Velociraptor will cause Voss to flip and kill one of us, as will either of the T-Rex cards, so we have a 3/8ths chance of losing someone.
River of Lava will cost each of us an equip, but we have that to not die.
2 Pterodactyl Thiefs will let us use RPG launcher
2 Obsidian fields will hurt, and might cause Voss's cards to kill one of us, if not he's in big trouble. I'd love a thief, that lets me do 2 damage instances, and Voss won't live long.
Of course several minions of Voss's will result in death, or he could get the Conquerer, which would be game over. I'm hoping for a Quark-Drive Translocator.
Either way the odds aren't good we walk away from this.
Sorry for the delay, life went a bit crazy for a couple of days.

(Ouch. This is going to suck.)
(Taking out his Firesworn means he's only down to a total of 1 DR for this turn. I can't recall Fixer's incap capabilities, but if it's a Power use, I think Masadah deals the most damage right now, and I'll get to zap him again when he tries to deal damage on the Villain turn.)

Additional Effects:
Sadly, Fixer's incap is someone draw a card, put equipment from trash into play, or destroy ongoing. I'm thinking pulling one of Expats ammos out since the TRex would hit Voss' device, any other ideas?
Yes, pull shock rounds if you please, put it on shotgun. I'll assume that is what happens.

3 targets for T-Rex at 5hp, unless another T-Rex comes out Voss=DINO LUNCH!! (nojinxnojinxnojinx)
Even if it does: Even if a T-Rex takes you out, as soon as Voss attempts to deal damage, I can get him with Masadah! That's 6 points of Irreducible and a win for us!
Wait, even if a second one comes out they will attack the thingy at 8hp, then a 5hp target, so that still is Voss biting the dust.
The greatest moment of the fight for me is an injured Fixer throwing an apparently dropped slug of lightning directly into my shotgun while I blew up a Velociraptor. Micheal Bay, eat your heart out.
Although following that with a T-Rex eating the alien overlord is kind of overkill, but hey, who says we can't go full Epic.
This last round is insane.
Just got to Wait for the GM to come make it official. Man this was a great Match.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start of Environment Turn:
Play a Card: Primordial Plant Life enters play. Expatriette and Chrono get eaten, Argent drops to two hit points...and then, with a mighty roar, Grand Warlord Voss get's Rex'd.
VICTORY!
Wooo! Go T-Rex!
That was a much closer game than I usually enjoy, but a win's a win!
I'm game for a new round, but I'm headed to GenCon for the weekend, so I wouldn't be able to start up until Sunday night.
I assume Argent had the decency to play some great victory music for the T-Rex and he ran away.
Epic victory.
I'm definitely up for another, and I won't be going to Gen Con, so have fun, and don't let my amazing jealousy ruin your weekend.
That was awesome. I'm always up for another one of these
Can I just say this was great fun to watch? One hero left at 2HP...
Yayaay! Sole survivor! I'm in again. Do you just random the participants into these matches? By that I mean heroes/villain/environment.
Yeah, I use Spiff's randomiser, everything ticked but Ambuscade (I lack him).
