The big lettered open grave must have distracted me. However, we now have a broken game-state. More units should have died after your initial assault, I would have done less damage, etc... I could fix it for my last post, but I can't go any further back without rerolling entire turns. I propose that I fix my last turn and leave it at that because we both didn't notice anything before that. Though if you do want to reroll everything, that's ok as well. (this topic, sadly, is living up to it's name. I'm very sorry for all the mistakes).

As for the green dragonmaster, the logo doesn't actually help, as it produces saves against individual targeting effects, not maneuvers. Not that it matters much though, as it was the only die that did not contribute... Crying or Very sad

My maneuver is unsuccessful, as I only produced 3 maneuvers. The terrain stays at 6.

Save aginst counterattack:

8 smites: A lich, vampire and specter bite the dust. Stepped damage bring back a ghast, specter and wraith.

result: 14 - 2 = 12 saves.

Reserve Phase: I'll stay where I am
Spell and effect expiration: stun on the green dragonmaster expires.
End my turn

Sorry about the big letters on Open Grave. At Gen Con I forgot to cast it like every time I should have, so it was kind of a running joke.

I thought on the Masters the logo counted as whatever you needed but only 2. On the Lords I thought the Logo was only for saves against targeting affects.

It wasn't Palsy, just decay which subtracts 2 melee results and I think I kept changing it when appropriate. If I missed something on my end then no big deal. Nobody intentionally meant to cheat so if we both missed it, than no big deal. (I think the terrain is at 7, not 6, since it wasn't palsy)

Man stepped damage is getting annoying!! (But you're playing it very well)

1st March is magic at the frontier -
Bog Adept: 1 Melee
Bog Adept: 1 Magic
Marsh Mage: 4 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 Melee
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 ID

10 total again green or black.
Since it is on 7 I'll cast Mire for 6 (if for some reason I misunderstood something and it is on 6 I'll reanimate my 2 Runners instead) The other 4 will be a FoD on a Wraith.

2nd March No maneuver attempt due to Mire
Gotta take a Melee Action with all those smites I have -
Black Dragonmaster: 4 Smite
Green Dragonmaster: 4 Sneak Attack
Swamp Giant: 4 Smite
Swamp Giant: 4 Maneuver

8 smite (sweet!) + 4 Melee

Decay! Oh, that's a lot better! My mind is playing tricks on me these last few days... Oh, and you are right about the stepped damage. I'm surprised my army keeps on going despite the terrible thrashing it receives turn after turn.

The terrain is indeed moved to 7.

Saves against melee:

Ack! Those smites are a pain in the rear. A carrion crawler, specter and ghast die, stepping down to a vampire and two wraiths.

result: 11

Counterattack:

Stun 2n roll

result:

stun: swamp giant
3 convert (wasted)
14 melee

Did you get the Wraith with FoD? It's hard for me to keep up with all the stepped damage LOL!

Stun Roll - Swamp Giant: 4 Poison

So a stunning he goes

Save against 14... GULP!

Black Dragonmaster: SFR Logo
Green Dragonmaster: SFR Logo
Swamp Giant: 4 Maneuver

so 8 total (maneuvers = saves) Swamp Giant to DuA and I absorb the other 2.

Well this party has been fun but Ive got to get the heck out of here. Even with all my smites I can't keep up with stepped damage!! To reserves with my home...

1st March - Magic from reserves

Black Dragonmaster: SFR Logo
Green Dragonmaster: 4 Smite
Marsh Swimmer: 2 Save
Swamp Giant: 4 ID

6 Black total (and another smite...) I'll reanimate the 2 Runners.

2nd March - Magic at Frontier -
Bog Adept: 1 Magic
Bog Adept: 1 Save
Marsh Mage: 2 Save
Marsh Mage: 4 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 ID
Marsh Mage: 2 ID

13 - Black or Green
Question, Can I cast Flash Flood on a Mired terrain? I think I can you just can't stop it (though I am by no means a rule expert), so Flash Flood for 5. FoD on 2 Wraiths for the other 8.

No Reserve movement (unless the Flash Flood thing doesn't work) I'll have to redo the spells and Reserve part.

EoT (Assuming everything I did was legal)

(And of course FoD would be before Flash Flood if for some reason you do get to roll)

I was under the impression that it wasn't possible to move the terrain while under the effect of the mire spell, but I have nothing to support this. I would like to ask an expert on this though, as it is pretty crucial, not to mention a big learning point. I'll change the title of the topic to get some attention.

Mire prevents any army from changing the terrain face due to a maneuver attempt (either during a march or with the Night Moves spell). The terrain face can be changed by effects that don't involve a maneuver attempt (Flash Flood, Volcanic Eruption, Tidal Wave).

DialFforFunky · rare Joined: 11 May 2010 Posts: 1992 Location: Groningen

Does that also mean that mire doesn't prevent me from counter-maneuvering? I think I know the answer (yes, as maneuver attempt =/= maneuver avoidance roll), but I just want to make sure.

This certainly makes swamp stalker magic better than I thought. Pair them with something that Transmutes and your opponent will have a hard time getting anywhere. Nice.

So Funky it looks like you do get to roll, makes me wish I cast Wall of Fog instead of 2 FoDs, but it was a good learning experience at least!

Yay! this was exactly the roll I was looking for!

I could do this the safe and boring way by bringin back the lich, which probably still means I'll lose anyways. So instead, I'll try out Haunt.

8 - 1x haunt

"a Magically Constructed Army":
Action: melee attack on your army at your home!

Stun continued:

Of course, undead start working best if they are dead...

I'll stun 2 bog adepts, 3 marsh mages and the black dragonmaster.
I'll then convert the non-stunned adept and, if available, a non stunned adept (otherwise a stunned will do).
9 melee

Holy Smokes!!, right when I thought I had this game... I've never seen haunt cast. Well Done!!

OK resolving Stuns -
Black Dragonmaster: 4 Fly
Bog Adept: 1 Magic
Bog Adept: 1 Save
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 Melee
Marsh Mage: 2 ID

So everything stuns but 1 Mage and the Master.
Resolving Convert - (I assume you mean the non-stunned mage)
Bog Adept: 1 Magic
Marsh Mage: 2 Melee

So they are both converted, but how does that happen? Do they just die since you convert back to the DuA since that's where the "Acting" army came from?

Save against 9 - I think I have the 2 Masters and 1 Mage to save with, correct me if I'm wrong here -
Black Dragonmaster: SFR Logo
Green Dragonmaster: 4 Sneak Attack
Marsh Mage: 2 Save

so 4 saves + 1 Watery Double = 4 Damage. 2 Stunned Mages to DuA. So total loss = 3 Mages and 1 Adept I believe.

Do I get a counter attack? If so -
Counter attack - (Stunned Adept just watches)
Black Dragonmaster: 4 Cantrip
Green Dragonmaster: 4 Sneak Attack
Marsh Mage: 2 Magic

FoD on Ghast? (level 1 light mage) at your home
4 Melee

YUCK! Didn't like that one bit!! (Well Played!!)
