So distract with one and kill with another.

Have 5 and 6 both move E then before the dash, drawing fire?

[~Neri]

Now if the soldiers all fire at once for reaction then we need only move one.

Now if the soldiers all fire at once for reaction then we need only move one.

This is running with pseudo-X-Com rules, so they all fire at once, even if only one shooter would have been sufficient.


Currently plan ICETEA is leading with 2 votes, against the second runner of absolutely nothing.

I would rather not do anything with just 2 votes, but I would like to get to turn 2 before the week is over. So make your plans and cast your votes. You have 3 hours and 20 minutes from the posting of this post.

I propose the following modification of IcyTea's plan:

Shadow 5 moves E, then Dashes E x3
Shadow 7 moves E, then dashes E NE NE and attacks the hostile SE of it
Shadow 1 moves SE
All other Shadows move E.

This'll most likely sacrifice Shadow 5 in order to let Shadow 7 close in on and strike one of the soldiers. The rest will slowly move closer and keep the portal clear for newcomers.

Plan ICETEA +

Shadow 5 move E, dash E,E,E
Shadow 6 move SE
Shadow 2 move NE
Shadow 4 NE
Shadow 1 SE
Shadow 3 SE

I'll use (X,Y) co-ordinates here; X is rows from up to down, Y is columns from left to right.

Shadow 7 moves to (4,7), Dashes to (2,10) and attacks the enemy at (3,11). That's the guaranteed kill, and might leave the shadow behind some cover, at least until the enemies move.

Important that the dash is last.

[~Neri]

Kill dash comes last.

[sjm9876]

Already in there

Unknown attacks Shadow 7
Cover bonus +5 vs Accuracy -5
1d20-5-5=+10 HIT 2 Damage
Shadow 7 has been killed

Unknown readies for Reaction Fire

Unknown uses communication device


One Unknown killed.
Two Shadows lost.
Knowledge gained: Rudimentary Magical Damage [Basic Magical Melee Abilities and Weak Magical Traits]

The Unknown fighters were distracted by the Shadow charging straight at them, and couldn't react to other Shadow that made a quick flanking manuever and slaughtered one of the fighters. Two of the soldiers fired at the Shadow hiding behind the pillar, and one of them hit, killing the Shadow. Obviously disturbed the death of one of its friends, the third Unknown readied for another charge against them. The fourth meanwhile pulled out a communications device and said something, but you would need to examine the corpse of one of them to understand their language.

During the proceedings you managed to learn a bit about the Unknown, and about their weapons. You gained knowledge on how to release raw magic(note: magical weapons require energy to use) and how to protect against it.

What is the plan?

All Units: Gain Trait: Magi-resist.
All Units: Preform a three pronged pincer attack.

[Varee]

unit 2,6  get elongated dash
Unit 4 go ne
Unit1 look at the corpse to gain info?

Unit 3 go s
Unit 8 get magic  resist and go east

[~Neri]

How much of a resistance from magical energy per turn could we get if we manifested that right now?

[Shadestyle]

Make unit 2 modify health to increase it. it is out of the way, so it could just keep doing modifications while other shadows do more dangerous things, gotta have a safety net at least if all the rest get killed.

[~Neri]

Could we give shadows the ability to give other shadows traits?

Sorta like Slivers do in Magic The Gathering?

The thing is we have 1 ENERGY there fore we can do one trait or modification
