We're still waiting on the Turmoil result, correct?
Turmoil
The Final Wasteland
and
Akash
Turmoil turns up Rejuvenating Entropy and Primeval Eruption.
We'd lose literally nothing from the Rejuvenating Entropy, as there are no Equipment cards out. However, that Mountainous Carapace would be healed up...
It's dpt's call, but I think the Rejuvenating Entropy is a stronger play for us...
Primeval Eruption is always painful. Let's take Rejuvenating Entropy.
I have Taiaha out, but I also have a backup.
I love Savage Mana and Akash's limbs.
I can't help but think of Haka puking and the Earth deciding it just isn't worth living anymore.

Yeah, I thought it was at 11 when I hit it. I can edit the turn to take down the Rockslide or just hit Akash for 8. THoguhts?
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
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
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.

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.

There do seem to be some stylistic differences between me and phantaskippy; he seems to be on the side of the heroes when running games, sometimes offering advice, while having looked to see what was coming, I saw you weren't going to Turmoil this turn and laughed maniacally...

Play a Card: PRIMEVAL ERUPTION! Living Rockslide drops into play (Chupacabra discarded), Ensnaring Brambles (Devil discarded), Mountainous Carapace (deck shuffles, Ahash flips, Rat Beast discarded), Arboreal Phalanges.
Arboreal Phalanges enter play.
End of Turn: Akash deals 3 melee damage to all heroes except Visionary, Tachy redirects to Carapace (destroyed, Akash deals herself 9 psyhic damage [180]).
Arboreal Phalanges deals 4 melee damage to Scholar [17].
Rockslide deals non-villains 3 projectile, Rat Beast destroyed, Ensnaring Brambles enter play.
The Scholar cannot deal damage.
Phalanges deal Tachyon and Visionary 4 melee damage [13].

Hero HP: Tachyon - 13, Visionary - 13, Haka - 18, Scholar - 14, Ra - 15
I can take the "can't deal damage" effect, although my Psychic Maelstrom might be useful. Super bad luck on the Eruption hitting 4 out of 4 limbs there.
I think we should let Tachyon deal damage; this seems like time for a Hypersonic Assault...
I'd redirect Akash's instance of damage when she hits H-1 (choosing me instead of Visionary) to the lower Carapace, destroying it and Akash deals herself 10 damage (179). That would mean Scholar and Viz would not deal damage. Also, HP would be Tacky 13, Viz, 13, Scholar 14, Ra 15, Haka 15

Addtional Effects: All non-hero targets currently on the board cannot deal damage
Tachyon, you don't want to use your third card play? Also, our moderator seems to be ruling that Mountainous Carapace does reduce the damage from its own destruction.
I don't have anything to blinding speed. I could play the vortex if we want to reduce all the hit points and Haka wants to eat more limbs. Since she can't damage herself this turn i didnt know if we wanted to do that.
If anyone wants me to toss down the Vortex, let me know
Haka has DR 1, so he's taking 1 less from each of AB's hits. He would be at 18, except that probably changes who gets hit by what.
It would end up either with how it is and Haka at 18, or Haka at 15 and Tachyon at 17 if we keep the people who cant do damage the same
Maybe better to keep me higher so I can take the next hit with DR.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, I will do a villain turn without making a mistake. One day...
I don't think our group has EVER played Akash without getting at least one thing wrong in the environment or villain turns. There's just too much stuff going on (and trigger recursion) to get everything right all the time.
We even had an environment turn where she flipped from her back to her front and back again thanks to Prison Riot and some Primeval Eruptions. It was a pretty complicated turn, and I'm not at all sure we did everything right.
Probably not, given that "her cards may only be flipped once this way per turn." It can be hard to keep track of. The first time I played her, I thought that playing villain targets played environment cards (rather than discarding them). It led to all kinds of crazy chains and all of the villain and environment targets were out the first round. It was bad.
Maybe? We figured the back-to-front and front-to-back flips were separate triggers, since they say "this way" on them… as opposed to Omnitron who just says "only flips once per turn." But considering the craziness that went on that turn and their identical wording, it probably should be just once a turn period. I'm not sure it would even be possible for her to flip more than twice in a single turn in order for our reading to be relevant. End of Days shenanigans maybe?

Actually, Greywind--if you wouldn't mind throwing down Imbued Fire instead of Staff of Ra this round, I'll be able to do a ton of damage next round with Get Out of The Way on my turn. It wouldn't change your power phase, but it's obviously your call entirely.
I put Suggestion on top of my deck with DDA and then draw it and heal 2 from Proverbs and Axioms.
Haka, on Scholar's turn:
DDA: Haka of Shielding goes into play. Draw Punish the Weak and Elbow Smash. Discard a Punish the Weak to get a shield for 2.

Sorry, doesn't one of the Rat Beast or Chupacabra enter play on the environment turn? Why would Turmoil be irrelevant?
Can you remind me who they damage? Otherwise I'll need to wait till I get home. (Sorry I forgot about it earlier.)
So, I was thinking of Rampaging this turn. I should be able to take out all of the limbs other than the carapace. Do you want to hit the Carapace with Sucker Punch instead?
Also, killing the Skunk Ape will play another villain card.
What about the part where Tachyon can't deal damage?
Ah. Forgot that Sucker Punch doesn't deal damage.
I'll keep the Ape out, but would still like to take out the Brambles. Edited turn
I had forgotten about Akash'Bhuta discarding cards from the environment deck... So controlling the environment deck is a little pointless. For the earlier Turmoil, put Rat Beast on top and the Amphibious Chupacabra on the bottom.

Updated. I made it not fire damage when hitting the heroes and the skunk ape, so Imbued Fire doesn't boost those hits. Scholar will need to update his turn.
Done and done!
Well, there's not a Mountainous Carapace anymore; the IF damage boost is enough for me to kill it. And AB starts your turn with 100 HP.

I just noticed we’ve all been forgetting about Flame Barrier. EDIT: it’s not so bad to fix; the Skunk Ape would be killed and Haka takes some retaliation damage.
Hmm, so all heroes save Ra and Haka regain a hit point, and Haka loses 2, and the fifth environment card discarded is a New Jersey Devil. We still need a call on the Turmoil...
I don't think we gain a hit point: I think Ra does 3 damage to the Skunk Ape on the environment turn, and the Skunk Ape is then killed when Haka does his Rampage. We're still waiting for the Turmoil, but whichever card we choose gets played on Haka's turn.
We got the Turmoil in post 131. It's Rejuvenating Entropy or Entomb. My vote would be for Entomb on top so we don't lose all of our equipment. I'll revise my turn once we make a decision.
I say Entomb, as well.
Definitely Entomb.
Ok, Entomb it is. So it comes out on Haka’s turn, and will hit us on the villain turn if we don’t do anything.
(I guess we didn’t do anything, as it is the Environment turn. )

Ra, I think your Flame Barrier would make you retaliate against yourself from the Proverbs and Axioms damage. So I think you'd better not opt for that... EDIT: Never mind, you are immune to Fire damage.
"Brer Rabbit to Brer Fox, I was born in that brier patch."
For that matter, the psychic damage that Scholar makes you deal yourself gets turned into Fire damage by Imbued Fire, to which you are immune!
(Can someone check Proverbs and Axioms? I don't think the power use is conditional on taking damage, but don't have the card in front of me.)
Actual text from Proverbs and Axioms:
"Each player draws 1 card. Each hero character card may either regain 2 hp or deal themselves 3 psychic damage and use a power."
OK, thanks, so it's not conditional.
