Pass Placement and Action phases.

Edited because I can't move. I can't do a damn thing. Sigh.

If you mean because the Mage is stuck in Lower Stormrivet, that's not a binder.  He can do anything except free himself and get kicked out.

Ramespi makes no Placements this round.

The Action Phase is now underway, and the Mayor and Mage take no actions.

Spoiler: State of the Board (click to show/hide)

Ustuth Menglek (The Mage) [PAWN] - Initiating "Puzzle" actions is 1 card cheaper.  Base Stats: Combat 1+3, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 3.
  ZOMBIES [FACTION] - The living dead, raised by unholy dwarven magic.  These minions serve as both army and labour, tending the mushroom gardens in the cool lightless soil or fashioning wares from the riches of Stormrivet's sealed mines.
  Ruler (Pawn) Benefits: +3 to Combat.
  Player Benefits: For every 4 Red Tokens in play, draw either a Green or Yellow Token during the Supply Phase (if eligible, you may mix and match multiple tokens).
  Faction Stats: Combat 3, Intrigue 2, Puzzle 2.  Costs 6 Cards to play.
  Resident in Stormrivet
 
  2 Yellow Tokens
 
The Artist [PAWN] - Every time you place an artefact, draw a card.  Base Stats: Combat 1+1, Intrigue 1+1, Puzzle 3+1.
  MAGMANARIANS [FACTION] - A band of perambulatory animated magma moulded into the shape of men.  Although by nature a docile and sedentary people, these magma men are capable workers if they can be turned to the job.  They could be powerful allies in battle, if you could ever get them to move.
  Ruler (Pawn) Benefits: +1 to Combat, Intrigue and Puzzle.
  Player Benefits: Draw 1 Blue Token each Supply Phase. 
  Faction Stats: Combat 3, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 3.  Costs 6 Cards to play.
 
  2 Blue Tokens
 
Horus (The Smith) [PAWN] - Artefacts cost 1 less card to place.  Base Stats: Combat 2, Intrigue 1+2, Puzzle 2+1.
  HEALING POTION [ARTEFACT] - Heals wounds, soothes pain.  Discard when attacked.  Counts as +3 cards for defensive purposes.  Cost: 1 Card.
  HUMAN OUTPOST [FACTION] - A small outpost of woodsmen and traders on the verge of the forest by Stormrivet.  These creatures are resourceful, and can turn their hands to all manner of tasks.
  Ruler (Pawn) Benefits: +2 to Intrigue.  +1 to Puzzle.
  Player Benefits: During the Action Phase, humans may convert Blue Tokens to Red, Green or Yellow Tokens at a 2:1 ratio (i.e. 2 Blue Tokens for 1 R/G/Y Token).
  Faction Stats: Combat 2, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 2.  Costs 6 Cards to play.

The Mayor (The Thief) [PAWN] - Initiating "Intrigue" actions is 1 card cheaper.  Base Stats: Combat 2+2, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 2+3.
  DEADLY POISON [ARTEFACT] - This vial of clear, colourless liquid is actually a deadly poison.  Good for one use.  Discard as part of an Intrigue attack.  Counts as +3 cards for offensive purposes.  Cost: 1 Card.
  [ARTEFACT] - This adorable winged cat will pose fairly simple riddles - and then eat the faces of anyone who fails to guess them.  +2 to Puzzle.  Cost: 4 Cards.
  DWARVES [FACTION] - This expedition of dwarves has come to Stormrivet in search of wealth and glory.  As well as being hardened soldiers, this band of dwarves are also forgemen and smiths capable of producing more equipment for battle.
  Ruler (Pawn) Benefits: +2 to Combat, +1 to Puzzle.
  Player Benefits: Can convert Yellow Tokens to Red Tokens on a 1:1 basis during the Action Phase.
  Faction Stats: Combat 3, Intrigue 2, Puzzle 2.  Costs 6 Cards to play.
 
The Merchant [PAWN] - Draw 1 extra card per turn.  Base Stats: Combat 2, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 2-1.
  ARACHNE'S WEB [UNIQUE ARTEFACT] - You have no idea how this got into the hands of the elves, but you recognise it for what it is - a net of silk spun by the spider-queen Arachne.  If laid as part of a trap, it is nigh-guaranteed to ensnare a foe.  On the downside, the wearer does have constant nightmares about being eaten alive by spiders...
  -1 to Puzzle.  Spend 2 cards during a Puzzle attack or defence to gain +6 Puzzle for the ordeal.
  Cost: 6 Cards.
  ELVEN SCOUTS [FACTION] - A handful of elven rangers, dedicated to protecting the innocent trees of this region.  Experts in stealth and guile, the Scouts are also adept foragers and hunters and can readily provide food.

  Player Benefits: Draw 1 Green Token each Supply Phase.
  Faction Stats: Combat 2, Intrigue 3, Puzzle 2.  Costs 6 Cards to play.
 
  2 Green Tokens
 
Lower Stormrivet is Sealed.

[Criptfeind]

I'll play scout.

SCOUT [ACTION] - Your Pawn discovers new pastures to explore.  Draw 2 cards.  Cost: Nothing.  Discard after play.

[Criptfeind]

I am done with the action phase.

[Terenos]

I was under the impression that I could be attacked, and thus Mopples could win at any point.

[IronyOwl]

Pass Action.

I was under the impression that I could be attacked, and thus Mopples could win at any point.

That's only in danger of happening if I can wipe out your faction in one go and nobody else is in a position to stop me, though. Otherwise, everyone else pretty much has to retaliate on your behalf.

I'd be careful, but I wouldn't view it as paralyzation.

[Criptfeind]

If the pawn controlling a faction that is in residence dies, does that faction stay in residence then?

[Iituem]

If the pawn controlling a faction that is in residence dies, does that faction stay in residence then?

It does, it becomes unled and can be attacked on its own or taken control of.  Although in the Mage's case you need to kill the Mage for him to lose.  And at this stage, it is in virtually everyone else's interest to stop him dying or the elves win by default.

[Terenos]

Can't stop me dying, can only kill the elves. So in the interest of self preservation, I have to maintain a sizeable card count.

And yes, I have 8 cards.

[Criptfeind]

It's not part of the elves win conditions to have their pawn or faction alive, although normally a player is out of the game if they don't have a pawn left, would the Irony still win if his win condition was fulfilled in the same turn that he went out?

[Iituem]

No, he loses if he has no pawns left in the game and cannot draw another.

[Iituem]

Ramespi takes no Actions.  Which means it's Round Three...

Supply Phase underway, as soon as you get your cards the Placement Phase is up...

[Terenos]

Play

Draw a BLUE TOKEN x1: Your zombies are readily able to perform labour.  Those more intact.  Cost: 2 Cards.

Discard Combat and Control.

Leaving me at 8 cards.

[Criptfeind]

Wouldn't that leave you at 8? 11-3?

[Terenos]

..Quite true, I mistook your card count for mine. So im down to 8.
