Humm, not great in terms of avoiding a flip. Truth needs to die, obviously, and with Tears in the trash we'll probably need to kill Blood as well. (I'll start healing myself soon, so I'm not that concerned about my own HP.)

Yeah this might just have to be a fast flip and weather the storm game.  Too many annoying citizens in the start group

Can we take out Truth and let the Block Guard hit Blood to nullify his damage without killing just yet? (assuming we don't pull one of the low-hp inmates)

(If there are major objections to this turn, let me know--I'm inclined to hold off on Dawn's flip for as long as possible while we hammer on her.  However, if consensus is that we flip her early, I will amend my turn to reflect that.)

In Play: Chastise (Citizen Blood)

Trash: Undaunted, Final Dive

Effects:  Citizen Blood cannot be damaged, nor can he damage anyone else.

The only hesitation is that Citizen Blood is due to be hit by the guard anyway, so wouldn't be dealing damage this turn (barring a low-HP inmate coming out, I guess). In that case, you might want to save your chastise. But I'm for delaying the flip a little.

Good point--I think I'll leave my turn as it is, just to play on the safe side, as a Time-Crazed Prisoner could really screw things up.

Edited to give boost to Expatriette as suggested.

(I'm picking up a ton of cards this turn, so I'm tempted to throw down Divine Focus next round, provided that Dawn doesn't destroy all of our stuff.  That +1 would be great next round if this is doable.)

(Also, my hit point total is off in the last villain summary--it wasn't reflecting me regaining hp due to Redeem.  My hit points, as listed below, are correct)

That should be enough fuel to last awhile.

Fanatic, I'll be happy to send the Syncopated Onslaught your way next round.

Nitpick:  When you're instructed to "immediately end your turn" rather than "skip the rest of your turn", your EoT phase does still happen.

I'm aware. It meant that the Scholar was skipping stones from the deck of his houseboat. I thought that was obvious.

I'm not actually going to pull anything out of my trash to put onto my deck.  I'm good.

By the by--Blood should be at 4, following the Submachine Gun.  He started at 5, then dropped by 1.

Before I play my turn, I just wanted to check strategy. It seems like Defensive Deplacement is really good for us right now, no? And therefore I should also leave Char in play, and try to fish for healing, etc?

I agree. Let's get built up while Dawn puts some citizens out. If anyone has extra ongoings to spare, Sweat is going to be destroying them; we should try to build up a supply in play so we can preserve the important ones.

I can always destroy Undaunted, if we need.  I'd prefer not to, but instances of exactly 1 or 5+ are pretty rare.  

My ongoings can come and go. Not seeing a lot of need for them right now.

Unfortunately, don't have a lot of ongoings to contribute (none at the moment).  I'll probably just be skipping to draw cards anyway.

Sorry for the delay. I’m not destroying the environment targets, as seems to be the concensus. I do hope I can keep my songs. Citizen Sweat does seem relatively harmless to keep around, unless Blood or Tears come back from the trash.

I guess I should have checked, but I was figuring that we're healing and preparing pretty well for the moment, so slowing Dawn down is to our advantage, rather than digging for the next Devasting Aurora quickly at a rate of 3 cards/turn. Return from the Dawn would be useful to keep around, though.

Unfortunately, because we couldn't kill the Block Guard, he's going to down Sweat this round, putting us further behind.

I did want to ask:  if Dawn hits another Devastating Aurora and flips back before we're rebuilt, would we be open to using an End of Days?  I've kept it in my hand for that very contingency, hoping that I wouldn't have to use it...

Did you mean the FILTER Officer? The Imprisoned Rogue will shiv the FILTER Officer at the start of the environment turn, before he takes out Citizen Sweat.

I did want to ask:  if Dawn hits another Devastating Aurora and flips back before we're rebuilt, would we be open to using an End of Days?  I've kept it in my hand for that very contingency, hoping that I wouldn't have to use it…
It's definitely a possibility!

Ah, excellent!  I had thought the Rogue acted EoT, rather that SoT!  One less worry to deal with, then.

Hopefully, we'll actually get some Citizens out this round...yargh!  At least it's looking like I'm going to be at full health when Dawn flips!

Let me know in advance so that I can do a burn and freeze on her before you take all my toys away.

OK, so we'll get a flip next turn, and we can afford to kill one Citizen unless the Environment does something annoying (like bring out Char). The Villain turn will hurt rather a lot, unfortunately, as the Defensive Deplacement will go away. I can take out Return with the Dawn. The question is, are we going to go with an End of Days? I'm leaning against it.

EDIT to add: Dawn has a +1 damage bonus on the other side. Ouch. There's a good chance I'll be incapped. I might suggest bringing Truth down to 1HP, so we can kill him quickly after the flip, but he can still protect the villains from the environment.

If I were after him in the play order, I could give an extra card play for an Expect the Worst (which he doesn't currently have). But there's no reason he couldn't play another Flesh to Iron with Keep Moving, though I imagine he also wants to keep those for an eventual build-up and massive damage.

Anvil was at 5. I tagged him twice.

Yep. Now he's dead.

Which nail gets hammered down next?

If, on my turn, a bunch of them are at 1 HP, I can take them out and heal at the same time (Get out of the way!).

I think the priority order is Hammer, Assault, Battery, Sweat. Hammer will be easy to kill, but as for all of them leaving them for Get out of the way! is better. I might suggest Pride and Prejudice on Hammer and Battery, Final Dive on Assault and with the side damage to Sweat, and then Get out of the way! to finish off Hammer and Sweat, with potential bonus damage (from Liquid to Energy) taking out Battery as well. But you might see something better!

I won't be able to get Mortal Form to Energy in play (none left in my deck), but 1 damage to everything plus some healing will be nice.

We can keep Winter and kill Dawn. Incidentally, if AA has an out-of-turn card play for me, we can kill her even harder.

Also, not that it will matter, but Scholar has 12 HP after the villain turn, not 9.

The amount of overkill we have is impressive. I don’t know if Scholar will even get a chance to Turn Loose.

Looks like you'll be done soon.  queues up for Episode 19

I'm going to skip doing my whole turn write-up and summarize here:

Play:  Wrathful Retribution.  I discard three cards.  Dawn takes 13 damage [dead]

Power:  n/a

Draw:  n/a

Good game, all!

Good game! If I'm not mistaken, Scholar was about to unload for another 18 points himself.

Yep. She Dawn is toast. Good game all!

So, is there going to be an episode 19 at some point?  I mean, it'd be reasonable to play 18 games and then stop if it was one with each villain, but you've done several repeats....

I was busy and involved in two other forum games, so this sort of got forgotten, but yeah I'll set another one up.
