This is our last stop! | KINGDOM DEATH WITH FEN #25

Hello everybody and welcome to what is going to be our final episode here of my blind run through Kingdom Death Fen. It has been a journey and it's had its ups and it's had its way downs, but it's been a very fun blind play and obviously I enjoyed Kingdom Death. I already bought the base game and then we recently just picked up an expansion.

So, it's a very fun time and I'm excited to rerun it uh with some new stuff on your table. >> Yeah, it should be fun. Um, and for for the viewers, if anyone doesn't remember, I basically said we'll we'll do the watcherite and we'll call it there because I I'd love for Justin to experience the like end part of the campaign in physical.

Um, so this this kind of gets things ahead. Also, this is the like the original ending for the campaign um before the new stuff came out >> and I think it just puts it to a nice length. It's nice to have a jumping off point. >> Yeah. >> Um >> we were just briefly discussing a set of the gear grids. Um basically the watcher has I think 22 toughness mean 21.

>> Um >> and so that's quite a big number. Generally, that means you need at least 11 strength total to be able to wound on something other than a 10. Um, you know, there are tools that can get you around that, but one of them requires a fair old heft of population, which is something we might be lacking.

>> Yeah, we never really had that. Yeah. >> Yeah, we had it for a little bit and then things just imploded. Triple lightning bolt had things to say. That was a that that's still one of my favorite moments. Just the chances of that just being like, "Oh, okay." You know, that's a that's a Kingdom death memory right there.

>> I'm so happy I got to experience it. It was terrible, but also it's it's I've never seen it before, and I don't think I'll ever see it again. >> Yeah. >> Um at all. Uh but yeah, so we are leveraging um Deadly >> Mhm. >> Um should hopefully uh give us some capability. >> Yeah. Uh >> and we have um >> yeah, >> we have a blue savior with us too.

And that's the that's the luck one, right? >> Um yeah, that is the it's the luck based. >> Okay. >> Which is over here. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Um absolutely. Yeah. So, they've got their um their blue savior ability um but not their secret fighting art. Yeah, they do have plus Yeah, they have plus one blue affinity.

>> Yeah. >> Um well, it's basically it's these these six versus. So, if you'd like to read us our little introductory text and then set us up. So long ago, Raven and his beast searched the darkness, using their keen senses to find their prey. In the distance, they saw a blooming pillar of light surrounded by tasty morsels bustling in their tiny industry.

Licking their chops, they approached, but the beasts halted midstep. The wind carried a foul, menacing presence. Surely, the busy creatures were harmless. Yet the menacing warning persisted, felt in their very bones. Instinctive uh instinctively the beast turned away, seeking their meals elsewhere. All right.

>> Yeah. >> So, uh, did we set this guy up? No. I can right click, setup, showdown, level one. Whoa. >> Yep. >> Okay. And I see there is a lot of stuff, a lot of text here to read for rules. >> Yep. So, um, I'm going to just start with this over here. So, instinct absorb. Move the watcher directly to the center of the showdown board.

All survivors gain minus one strength token. Watcher heals 1d5 wounds. >> We want to avoid that. >> And then he has life. This is something I saw while I was sorting through my physical copy, but the watcher starts with 15 life life points. So, I assume this is just instead of a hit location deck, he has like HP.

>> Uh, no. Um, he still has a hit location deck. >> Oh, I guess like instead of doing his AI cards, is that the thing? >> Yeah. Yeah, you don't move the AI yet. >> That's what I meant to say. >> Hasn't deployed the card out, I think. All right. >> Okay. Uh, toughness. The watcher's tough is equal to this current lantern.

You're on the settlement sheet. If the settlement has records, the monster gains plus two toughness. I don't believe we have records. >> No, >> not that it really matters with our game plan. >> The the um what's his name? The hooded knight would have probably kicked it to pieces. >> Perfect. Uh, and then we have an audience, lantern, vortex, vapor of nothingness, retinue, and indomitable.

Uh, rein rules are up here. So, a retinue represents the settlement uniting to fight together. Each retinue occupies nine spaces as shown and is made up of nine unused survivor miniatures. A renu cannot attack monsters directly and instead lends its strength to other survivors. A renew is treated as a single large survivor and moves as a cohesive unit on the showdown board.

Maintain its configuration. Retinu have the following rules. Uh a retinue does not count as a threat and cannot directly be picked or selected as a target. Only monster collision and actions that apply to all survivors can affect a retinue. And a retributes, cannot be knocked down, suffer knockback or gain status cards for the purpose of uh survivor collision.

Treat retinues as impassible terrain. Killing a retinue. When a renew suffers damage including brain damage or collision with a monster roll 1d10 on a result of four plus it's destroyed. Uh reneu also is destroyed when a monster ends movement on it space it occupies or when the survivor controlling the retinue dies.

Re is destroyed. Remove from the showdown board. The settlement suffers minus four population. This loss cannot kill the other survivors currently in the showdown. Survivor with a ret status card can perform the following actions. Summon a retinue. Once per act, a survivor without a revenue may place a retinue in an unoccupied space along any board edge and move it up to five spaces.

March. At the start of their act, survivor with renew gains an additional movement that can only be spent to move their retinue up to five spaces. Double march. Once per round, anytime survivor can dash, they may spend one survival to dash their retinue up to five spaces in addition to their own dash survival action.

And a coordinated attack when a survivor attacks at plus six strength the wound attempt when for each. Ah, I see. This is what you're saying. and how with you have a lot of people you can coordinate. I see that. Okay. All right. Uh then we have the other cards. Terrified survivors spectate in silence.

Embolden. If there are less than four non-written survivors on the showdown board, a survivor from the settlement may depart and enter the showdown. Place them in an unoccupied space along any board edge. Oh. Uh, the start of each monster turn, all survivors in the void nexus suffer bash. Okay. Perform a basic action.

Vapor of nothingness. Whenever a watcher collides with a survivor, the blood flow to their brain stutters for a moment. They suffer one brain damage and one damage to the head that ignores armor points. And then we have the retine, which we I've all just read. Uh, so was the watcher like living in the lantern?

Is that like what this thing is? He was like above the Yeah. So, um, what it is, I'm going to give you like a little quick bit of the the law as we understand it. Um, watchers have a really long life cycle where they exist for a very long time like fed by energy that they've taken from their victims.

>> Mhm. Um, and then when they get hungry, they'll bury themselves in the ground of the plane of stone faces and eventually they get pushed up forming this like cyst of the landscape, which is what the lantern horde is. It's surrounded by lanterns and they're like inside in a cocoon. >> Okay. >> And then they they project like an energy that keeps a lot of the hostile hostile things away.

>> Yeah. So, we saw in the intro here. Yeah. >> As you read in the intro. Uh but survivors are a bit too like new and dumb and inexperienced to understand really what's going on. So they're like, "Hey, there's no monsters here. This looks safe." >> Yeah. >> And then the um the watcher gradually seeds ideas to them, which you can see if you look over at the um the settlement uh the lantern horde.

>> This is the place where all of the technologies come from. >> Yeah. >> So we can't innovate without going to the lantern horde. We can't even start building these. We get our ideas from monsters. Even the like quarry locations is the ideas from the monsters. So this has been like the source of knowledge for the settlement.

>> Uh influencing >> um kind of like through dreams. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You know, how the saviors are disappear into a dream and come back. There's a fair amount of that involved. >> Uh and yeah, eventually they as the settlement grows, as time passes, the lanterns gradually fade away. And once enough of them have gone, the watcher is like close to waking and unless it gets woken up early, it'll wake up and its ideal thing is it just feeds on all of the settlement and then goes off and does it merry thing for a while before repeating the cycle.

>> Nice. Okay. Yeah. So he's he wakes up hungry. He wakes up hungry. >> Yeah. Yeah. He basically, you know, arrives, seeds seeds the ideas into the survivors and then feeds on on whatever >> basically like builds his own his builds his own meal event like essentially makes it even >> gets all supports it so they grow and get better and then he's like I'm hungry.

Okay. >> Yeah. >> Is he doing it because he do they do it consciously or is it just like part of their hibernation? >> We we don't know. Okay. >> Um I think >> left to interpretation. >> Yeah, it's left to interpretation. There's a lot we don't know about the Watchers. We're possibly going to find out more in the future.

My opinion is, yeah, it's like >> you'll start to see there's a creature they kind of represent from our world. And, you know, I kind I I'm of the opinion that it is like a honey trap. >> It is intentional that they >> maybe not intentional that they create the safe space. that's just kind of part of their aura >> and life cycle.

But I think like they do seed ideas into the survivors um knowing that they'll grow and produce memories and technology and things, everything that a growing watcher wants and needs. >> Nice. >> And then I I mean I imagine this is something that we'll piece together more as we play more. But then all these other things like the Kingsmen and like all these other things is these are >> are are they they're not really human, are they?

or are they like some sort of evolution that went further? Is that something that we'll figure out more? I'm just now curious seeing all this kind of evolve >> you if we'd have been in a better position, you'd have actually seen the birth of Kingsman in this camp. >> Okay, cool. All right, good to know.

>> Yeah. So, I'll leave that at that. Um, the hand. Uh, if we have the opportunity to play a different campaign, you'll get to see a bit more about the hand. Yeah. And, >> um, the the king. >> Yeah. >> As well. >> Faction, Kingsman Hand and the King. That's like >> a faction that's >> uh checking. I say they inspecting settlements to see if they're suitable for feeding from.

Again, like most cases, if you wonder what a monster's doing, it's probably taking advantage of the survivors as a way to eat at um >> or use them as a resource in some. >> Makes sense. Makes sense. >> Yeah. Um and and the butcher is, you know, everything you need to know about the butcher. >> Yeah.

He's a serial killer. >> Yeah. Exa Exactly. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um so, yeah, let's that that's enough of a little law wble on it. Um, there's more I could talk about, but that would be to do with the boss that comes after this one. >> It's And and honestly, I like figuring it out as we go. This is a fun little revelation to piece together here.

Um, which I think >> see I think you should be able to figure out fairly quickly what kind of real life thing has inspired this this creature as we as we play. Um, all I'm going to say is if we're doing well, this will probably be quite a long fight. >> Yeah. Uh and if we are um if we're not doing well uh >> it's going to be not that.

Yeah. >> Yeah. Um I am not entirely sure how to represent this life. >> Um >> um okay. >> Yeah. >> Cuz can you cuz we can't set >> we can set face. >> We can Yeah, we can set Yeah, we can set face. Let me just Can you just just want to Oh, hey. My cursor is over over it. Um, I'm going have to take these two.

>> Oh, I see. Yeah. Set face. >> Yeah, I set set face to one. Set face to five. Okay, there we are. So, red will be tens and white will be um single digits. And I'm going to keep a paper track of it as well. >> Sure. There's a possibility when rolling dice, we might scoop up the extra dice press too high a number on need.

>> Yeah. >> In fact, I'm gonna >> maybe we make the um this one the the ones the f the red cuz it probably won't get picked up as much. Let's do that. >> Okay. >> Cuz if we do get below >> 10, we can just take the red one out if we do. Big if everybody. >> Big if. Big if. That's good thinking. Yeah, >> absolutely.

>> And if we don't do good, it's probably I imagine going to be not maybe as short as that Phoenix fight we did in the last episode. That was a scrub crush. >> Um I don't know what to say about that when it was just a nightmare like having a peck in that situation. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Okay. Uh well uh so we've got one more thing to discuss which is >> as you you've seen the revenue rules.

Yeah. >> Um, now if we use the retinues, >> Yeah. >> we've got the weirdness of we only have two survivors in reserve. >> Yeah. >> And technically we can bring out like four retinues. And this is one of the weird wonky bits of it. >> Yeah. >> Um, but if we lose a single retinue, then we lose both of our backup survivors.

Gotcha. >> I'm kind of of the opinion that maybe we just don't use the retinue rules because it doesn't >> like a retinue would represent like four survivors and >> we can just >> Yeah, we can instead just make sure we make use of the audience >> and we can embolden these last two on and they can grab the gear grids of whoever dies.

So, we've got six survivors >> to get this done. >> Perfect. >> That's what I'm thinking. >> Sounds fun. Sounds I mean, the really gamey way to do it would be you'd run out the four survivors. When two die, you get the other two on and then you generate four retinues. And I don't know where these guys have come from, then it's uh >> Oh, yeah, I guess.

Yeah. So, there's a little bit of dissonance there, like Yeah. mechanical and flavor dissonance. So, yeah, we'll let's just ignore it. Let's There's going to be a lot going on. We could just ignore that for this one. >> Yeah. Okay, cool. So, I'll just put the red new cards there. This is here in case we need it.

Okay. >> I also uh never read this one, but I've seen this one. It's just they they just stand if they're uh uh if they're knocked down after they attack or we attack them. >> Yes, that's pretty much how it's uh how it's working. And we've got this here to remind us we've got a once per showdown, we can pull an AI card on top that we're like, that's not too bad.

>> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh we go first. We have specifically have to start in those four spaces. Um, we don't have to have the survivors in the particular ones, but I think with these guys, they're all kind of jack of all trades really. So, >> yeah. >> Uh, I don't think we need to worry too much about positioning them any further.

>> Right. We ain't going to get close to that dashing. >> Yeah. And then the bash. Bash, it just knocks you back or does it also knock you down? >> Bash just knocks you down. >> Okay. Okay. Just knocks you down. All right. >> Yeah. Um, and we do we have one person immune to bash. >> Yeah. Good old uh who's this?

Aith, of course. >> The bringer of end times. >> Yeah. All right. >> Aith and his and his companion, the rats in the walls. >> We love the rats. >> Um, our savior, of course, of the rats. We saw them when they were like, "You guys will do this for us." Okay. Uh, so should we just like move in or should we just let this guy do his void nexus and then start going, "Oh my god, speed four.

Oh my god." >> Yes. Yeah. Um, I we're just going to get in and start wailing. Um, I'm just going to I'm just looking to grab >> uh secret fighting arts cuz I may as well just get this monster claw style. >> Oh yeah, sure. Good call. >> Have it ready. But yeah, I I think pretty much um we definitely want to you definitely want to stick our leather armor to it as much as possible.

>> Sure. >> Every Oh my go stand again. Look look at this since the update. >> Oh, look at that. >> Okay, that's fine. Um >> All right. Uh Aith's going to move in. >> Oh, it's um a normal >> I think we're going to dash and then hit the thing. Hit the thing. >> All right. Spend a survival. >> U. We'll use our Zon botto.

>> I got to roll one die. I need uh What's your toughness? Oh, yeah. We need the perfect hit, right? No. No. Sorry. I completely forgot. I completely forgot how to play. I remember now. I need to roll a five plus. I completely forgot this game apparently. Uh four plus because of my accuracy. Toughness is on the other side.

I rolled a one. >> Sweet. That's a great start. >> Yeah, thank you. I tried. >> Yeah, I mean that's all you can do. >> Yeah, exactly. I didn't try that hard, but I tried. >> Yeah, I wanted to have this out as a reminder cuz it's unlikely any will get a fighting arc during this showdown. It's possible, but I wanted to remind myself that we got savage on these fists cuz that might be a thing I do instead of this.

Depends on the positioning. Okay. Uh, see, so rats will. So, I guess the slamming doesn't really make a big difference for you. I think I want to alternate these rawhide guys so there's one of them who doesn't get bashed every turn. >> Yep, seems fair. >> We're going to be leaning on the rawhide encourage hopeful survival returns quite a bit.

So, uh I think we'll open with Atlak Naka. >> Let's go. >> Uh let's go. All right. Okay. Okay. So, I'm going to have to dash. I'm going to do five. And then we dash. Let's see if I keep that survival. I do. Hooray. Uh, and then we're going to attack with this um clord. >> Let's go. >> I need two. >> Two dice.

Four plus. >> Two dice. Um, yeah. Four plus. >> Two hits. Okay. Right. Uh can't crit that location. Going to be a bit of that. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. Uh right. So, um we lose two survival. We hit the void membrane. >> If they can't, they die instantly. Uh hypnotic undilations roll over the watcher surface.

Turn the watcher face then move the monster three space backwards and cancel all hits. Now out of range. Okay. >> Yeah. So basically I need I think the second attack the second card's going to get cancelled. >> Yeah. >> Um cuz I can't bypass that reflect here. Uh so I need a 10 cuz this is can't be critted.

>> So >> 10 or nothing. Oh, it's the opposite of a 10. >> Yeah. >> Brilliant. Okay. >> All right. So turn him to face the attacker. >> And then he moonwalks, but that puts him in reach. >> Yeah. Look at that. You fool. >> Yep. >> All right. Uh, let me send in the rats. >> Send in the rats. Yeah. >> All right.

Um, the rats will use their scrap sword and they will also hit on a four plus. >> They hit on a three plus, don't they? >> Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Two hits. Okay. We have void shroud. All survivors in the void nex suffer three brain damage and then attack suffers bash and knock back 10 in interesting.

I think honestly I mean I think we go for the the the void shroud because we can't actually wound this guy unless it's critical. So we run that one. >> Yeah. So we have uh eight I think because it's I have deadly on the sword and then plus one >> buck 10 normally nine eight. >> Yeah. Nope. But no no no effect.

And now we'll go to this one. Nah. So bash and knock back 10. And oh no one's taking damage yet. So we're going to count that as a win. Yeah. Okay, I'll uh moving to the blind spot and >> Yeah, >> cuz you're out of >> I'm in the blind spot. I'm going to go for the fist and tooth attack. >> Oh, hell yeah.

>> Yep. Um so that I've got plus three accuracy. >> Nice. So fives. >> Yeah, fives. Two dice on fives. >> Uh wow, pair of threes. Never mind. Um I'm going to surge. >> Heck yeah. Um, and keep the survival and go again. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> Two hits this time. Right. Okay. Failure. >> Two void hoods.

A void hood and a void fold. But they pretty much have the same thing. >> Yeah. Um, I'm going to grab Let's see. I think if if there's one I succeed at, I'd like to succeed the void folds because that will give me a bold tip. >> Yeah, >> two strength tokens is not going to cut it unless I do repeatedly.

So, void folds first. I'm in the same situation of needing an 8, 9, 10. I have a lucky charm and it's >> good luck. >> Uh, nope, that's a two. Okay, so I get a minus one strength token. I'll grab that in a second. And the watcher faces. Oh, okay. Uh, furthest board edge for move forward. It's going to run straight through.

>> Yeah. >> Atlas Milan. Yeah, I could dash, but >> what's this guy? >> Don't see the point. Um, it's unlimited. >> Oh, okay. Perfect. Woo. >> Like the speed of light. >> So then there's a collision, right? >> Uh, yes. I get the other effects of the collision. >> So they suffer one brain damage, one damage to head that ignores armor points.

A vapor of nothingness. >> Okay. So, that's a light to the brain. And >> jellyfish. >> What do you think? >> It looks like it in this art. >> Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's based on a jellyfish. >> That's really cool. >> Few locations that specifically called out. >> Neat. I dig it. This guy is very neat. I'm just looking at the mini.

Look at that. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's uh >> cool. Okay. Uh but now I think this goes to you and you get to be monster controller. >> Okay. Uh here we go. So, first of all, uh there's no one in the range for bash. So, it's going to perform its uh >> basic action, which is furthest survivor. >> Um not here.

>> Yeah. So, I think that's our good friend rats. >> Yeah. So, I think I'm going to need to do some survival actions on this. >> Yeah. To get the path back. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, makes sense. >> I need to I really need to get ALA out in particular. So, I'll do an encourage on ALA via oil. >> Yep. >> Yeah.

Well, yeah. And lose the survival five. Um, so Atlac is up and then they're both going to need to dash in order to not be in this. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we'll do Whipple Well first. Whipper Will loses another point of survival. This is >> not going great. I'm going to go one, two, three. So, let's see.

It'll be here. >> Yeah. >> So, I don't think I need to go. I I just want to be a little bit out of range. Yep. >> Yeah. Actually, I just need to go here. One, two, that's the Okay. And then at last, same. Let's see if I keep this survival. No, I failed three in a row. >> No, we don't get to We don't get to do that.

>> Nope. Uh, and then I'm going to go one, two, three, four here to try and get as possible. Okay. >> Right. Okay. So, then it just goes zoom over here. Um, and we got uh four dice on rats. >> Yeah. Uh, >> hitting >> on threes, I believe. >> Yeah. On threes. >> Don't worry. Now, this one we're going to roll our eight nines and tens because we know how this works.

>> Oh, yeah. Of course. >> Yeah. >> This is four dice. Here we go. Um, >> told you. >> Yeah. >> That's crazy. That's insane. >> But that's Arkham, baby. That's We're going to name our next settlement like uh Luck Land. >> Lucky Paper Company. >> Yeah. >> Um Yeah. Lucky Land. Uh right. That is um hits the body, head, waist, and no sorry, waist, head, hands, and feet at five damage a piece.

>> I think I'm going to dodge the head. >> Yeah, that makes sense. >> And then sorry, we take waist. >> You take everything apart from body. >> Okay. So, it's a bunch of heavies. >> Actually, a blessing. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, then I get knocked back, right? >> Uh, then you do indeed get knocked back then.

You're on the edge of the board. So, you can decide which way you want to zoom along. >> I think this way's actually closer. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Yeah, we'll go up here. And then we get a an AI card. >> Uh, yeah. Yeah. So, half of his turn's done. Uh, time to purify. Close. So that is going to be whipper wheel.

>> Um, more full use. Uh, >> oh, neat. >> Watcher. I don't have any positive tokens at all. >> Yeah, >> my grand my grandfather's deck has nothing positive. >> Yeah, you you Kaiba. My grandfather's deck has nothing. It's just bulk commons. >> Um, okay. This is good for Will. So, this isn't the monster controller, so there's no consolation prize.

Uh we is just rolling our four dice hitting on I think three plus no four pluses I think because we have one evasion from >> yeah from this yeah and then one yeah four pluses >> okay um let's see if I can get another seven and three nines >> pretty good >> three sixes y >> yeah okay 668 uh yeah uh wow okay Um, I'll be doing the same thing the other time.

>> Um, and keep the survival and then that is going to be we're going to be knocked down. >> Yeah. >> For definite and uh I lose some body, waste, and hands. >> I'm going to just say I'm excited to uh get to a point where maybe the survivors get like competitive with this fight because it does seem like we have like a big power discrepancy.

I understand this fight isn't supposed to be easy, but I imagine with a better run, you actually have like options that we're currently missing. Uh yeah, well, we don't have the blacksmith location open. And one of the silver bullets, which is the hooded stranger, decided in we didn't get the the proper hooded stranger.

We got some imposter who murdered me, came here to kill our guys. >> That we did not we we had a we had a hooded homicidalist. Yeah. >> Incredible. Um, right. I'm I'm still alive, though. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not dead. >> Still alive. Got three survival. It didn't steal my minus one strength token, which I'm not using anyway.

>> Yeah. >> Uh, right. >> All right. Well, Wrath gets to stand up cuz they were knocked down last survivor phase. One, two, three, four, five. Dash. One, two, three, four. Yeah, I can get in with uh Aithoth. do some more whacking. >> Um, do you want me to go first with that? >> I think so. Just in case like I don't Yeah, it is very movie.

Um, I'm terribly sorry, uh, Whipper Will, but I mean, if the watcher runs you down, honestly, it's for all of the times you annoyed me on the campus. >> Yeah, >> which is many. >> Yeah, >> I I love that. >> Listen, this is called karma. Whipperwills. Look it up. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, uh I'm going to go I got my fist and no whipple fist and so I got my scraps sword.

>> Nice. >> Hitting on fours. Uh one hit. >> Nice. >> Uh in the void ganglia. Okay. So, this is another not critable one. This is the difficult part of uh of fighting this. I'll get a 10. 10 does it. Otherwise, we're having a um a fun time. >> Ooh. Halfway there. At least we're improving. >> Yeah. Yeah.

All right. So, that's a failure. Uh, right. So, I Small explosions of lightly flicker over the watcher's surface, setting off violent seizures in the attacker's brain. I'm going to gain one random disorder. Oh, Raolic. Amazing. >> That's pretty good. >> I'll take it. That is actually pretty good. I might be taking a severe injury here.

It's perfectly possible. Can't budge what's coming. Uh, right. So, can we just We go. I'll take it. It's technically positive. >> Yep. >> Uh right. And now I have to beat beat myself up. Uh I am still monster controller so I do gain an insanity. >> Let's go. >> Uh cuz it's a basic action. >> Yeah. >> Face.

So, four and then you have I think also on hitting on fours because you have the plus one evasion and the uh rawhide. >> I just think if we'd had some resources available to to make a couple of monster grease, we could have we might have had a shot. >> Yeah. >> Oh my goodness. I've actually >> only one hit.

>> Yeah, that's amazing. >> That's great. >> I can't dodge it. I can't wait for me to roll head. >> Yeah. I mean, body, it's not great, but still. >> Oh, wait a minute. I just realized uh I've only got two armor points for location. I need to do some severe injury rolls for for Whipple Wheel. >> Yep.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. >> I got to do these. I got to find Whipper Will. Whipper Will hasn't done anything yet. >> Yeah. >> Um Yep. Okay, so that's three. Go to severe injuries, right? Uh let me grab a dice. Here we go. So, so far I'm taking three severe injuries and we've dealt no damage at all.

No life points. So, it's it's going perfect. >> It's going swimmingly. >> It is. We'll start with arms. >> Sure. >> Let's Let's Oh, >> dead. >> Oh, amazing. I don't have to roll anymore. Yeah. >> Fantastic. Right. >> We do get two endeavors. >> Oh, yeah. Amazing. Um, that's going to be that's going to be our first inbald coming on.

>> Uh, right. >> Oh, sorry. That you grabbed that Lanaka. That was Whipper Will who died there. >> Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Uh I grabbed. >> Yeah, you're up here. Whipper will >> um I'm going to I'm naming this guy >> I'm naming this guy Jazz. >> Oh, let's go. Jazz man. >> Jazz is my favorite. Um, it is a depart.

So, um, right. Uh, I do get my departing bonuses. So, he comes in this >> all there. He's he's going to grab this same gear grid. >> Yeah. He doesn't have the sav the fist the savage fist and tooth, right? So, that goes away. >> No, he doesn't. No. Yeah, that goes away. He is descended from the fist and tooth tribe, though.

>> Yeah. And he comes on a board edge. >> My choice of board edge. >> Oh, well, look. There's a board edge really close to this dumb washer and assign cheek. Assign this one. And uh there he is. Jazz. And let me just double check I am right. Yep. It it's not Jazz Mulligan. It's Jazz Milan. >> Yep. It's all Milan down here.

I've forgotten my Tumblr. >> Uh am I? Yeah. >> Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah. How how embarrassing. >> I mean, we we're not a smart uh a smart uh settlement. So, you know, there's like different interpretations. People are trying to also, you know, add some flare to their life, >> right? So, I brought him on here >> after the death.

>> And then we have to roll for the body here for Ashanaka. >> Yep. That's when I realized I've done it wrong. Okay, so Ashanaka, are you going to make it or I'm going to have to pull someone from the depths of probably done witch? >> Yeah. >> Um, here we go. >> Oh, >> it's not dead. >> Not dead. >> Not dead.

>> So, that is a broken rib, >> minus one permanent speed, and one bleeding token. Um, I mean that's kind of halfed his effectiveness. >> And they're knocked down, too. Ashaka's knocked down. >> Knocked down. Yep. We'll grab the bleeding token. Yep. Okay, cool. And you're the one with the bandages, so Oh.

Aha. Scratch it back. Dryanthus got me remembering how everything's going on. >> No, so no broken rib. >> Nice. >> Yeah, still knock still knocked down. >> Uh, but no bleeding, no broken rib. >> Danthus, you've been with us for many years. I salute you. If anything, you are the hero of this story. >> Yeah, I think it was still Skids who died picking a canthus.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Skids was my favorite characters were Skids, Silus, the legendary way he went out, killed by rules, technicality. >> Um, I'll I'll always treasure that moment. >> Um, Dr. Milan, of course. Yeah. And Valentino. >> I was a big fan of Agnes, how and I got her killed in a story thing and I should have just chose someone else cuz she was looking pretty sweet.

>> Yeah. Yeah. learned the lesson of if it's a story event, pick someone you don't care about. >> Try to round out the group cuz worst case they die. Best case they get better. >> Yeah. Okay. Uh well, I should probably have Jash should probably come in for this. >> And uh Right. So, don't ask how he's got somebody else's gear grid.

Just >> it happens. >> He's pretty near the edge. He's hurriedly chucked it all. >> Yeah. >> Um Yeah. still fresh with the the blood of whipper will. Um, two hits. >> Two hits. >> Can't wait for him to die immediately. Oh. Oh. >> Oh my god. If blackout and white out are drawn during the same attack, the attacker suffers a heads explosion.

Severe injury. After place the watch in the center, all survivors are doomed. Perform a basic action. Target the attacker. That's so neat. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, you've seen one of the watches tricks here. It's got has just got one trap card. >> He's got two. >> It's got two. Yeah. Yeah. I'm afraid we're not Yuki.

N >> this. >> Nope. Okay. Uh right. So, everyone's doomed is a basic action. >> Yeah. >> Um and I hate to say it, but it everyone's going to be in its facing. >> Oh, yeah. Look at that. Everyone except our good friend Natalaka. That's so >> Yeah, that's funny. Okay. Right. Let's see if I can um Oh, there we are.

That's what I was worried about. >> Yeah, >> we still at 15. is okay. Look, the dice say not >> You know what? We'll just remember 15. >> 15. It's not going to Yeah. So, that is four hits. >> All right, Jazz, you ready to just get [ __ ] annihilated? >> Jazz, you should have just taken the night off.

>> Yeah. >> Really? You know, >> okay. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay. >> So, it's going to be two leg severe injury rolls and then an arms and a waist severe injury rolls, right? Um, yeah. So, I'm going to just mark the uh things first. So, we got legs, arms, and waist. I'll worry about the armor points if you this.

>> Y. So, we'll start with we'll work our way down. So, we'll start with the arms. >> Cool. >> Oh, it was one for a second. >> It It was flirting with it. >> AR. Oh, no. So, we broke an arm. Brilliant. >> One minus one accuracy, minus one permanent strength, a bleeding token. And it can be recorded twice cuz unlike Goro, we only have two arms.

>> Yeah. Um and Isuza as well. >> Yep. >> Mus strength. Wrath of Isuza. What a game. What a quick time event. >> Oh, that game that game was great. >> It was It was one of the few that actually did great quicktime events that I >> Who's uh the uh the one guy like the the one god that kind of like aligns with him halfway through like his old friend.

It was always because it was great because like those two uh Azura and that guy were like the um mine and my my buddies like D and D characters like the the mindless brute and the more like dextrous uh smart one. So that I love I just that game resonated with me a lot because of that. >> Yeah. I can't remember his name either.

It's been a long time since >> I played through it and then >> Oh yeah, you know the guy. You know the one I'm talking about. >> I know the guy. Yeah. The main thing I was thinking of is how many times Zuza breaks his extra arms. >> Yes. >> Yes. He's like, "Okay, I'll just I'll just generate some more." Yeah.

>> Um, right. This was waste. >> Three. >> Okay. >> That is bleeding kidneys. Two bleeding tokens. I mean, odds are he's Jazz Mulligan's going to kick it cuz he's got three and he's got two leg rolls. >> 10 on one of these. >> Yeah. >> Um, so here we go. First one. Six is going to be a torn Achilles tendon.

No bleeding token. Your leg not bear. Wait until the end of the showdown. Whenever you suffer light, heavy or severe knockdown. Skip the next hunt. Oh, no. Gain one bleeding token right there at the end. >> Yeah, he he's got it. All right. Okay. I'll worry about that if I roll a 10 here. >> Yep. Nope.

>> He just turns up, punches, tries to stab the watcher, and just does indeed get obliterated. >> But guess what? That's exactly what this next gu is going to do, too. Yeah. >> Okay. Uh well, I I'm terribly sorry. I've taken all the reserve survivors. >> No, it's all good. >> Um Um I I I want to I want to name her after the Oannon.

>> Yeah. Naomi. Naomi. >> Naomi. That's >> Yeah. Perfect. All right. And then we all have to suffer bash and knock back 10. >> Yeah. Don't worry, I got a fresh survivor to come in and do some encouraging. >> Uh, does knockback have to go the farthest away or does it just have to move away? >> Um, you you're going to pick a direction and go from there as long as the first step takes you away.

>> Okay. So, I can go like this way. >> Yeah, that that's most logically the way I think it would go as well. >> Oh, no. I get I don't get knocked down. >> No bash there. >> Um, this guy. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Oh, buddies. >> Are they next to each other? >> Yeah. >> Didn't collide in. >> No collide.

Are they literally actually just like perfectly slid next to each other from that? >> Yep. Okay. Look who I got. I'll I'll perform in Balden. >> Heck yeah. >> And um I'm going to attack from this side rather than the back. If it turn does the same thing and turns again, then um >> yeah, >> this time at least only one will suffer.

>> Yep, skip on the extra. Uh we're going to Lion Beast guitar here. Um and we get uh one perfect hit into the void folds. Right. Here we go. Oh, incredible. 14. A sweet musk spills from the wound. Descent is exhilarating. The attacker gains plus three courage, plus three understanding, and you may perform embolden.

>> Oh, wait. We not allowed to perform bolden except when it happens like this. I think that might be the case. I've forgotten. It's been a while since I played this. >> Ah. Ah, it's okay. We're getting slaughtered anyway. >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. Um, >> yeah, that's okay. >> Well, I just cost us an extra survivor and everything.

There we'll just >> we'll chalk it up to the playing camera. >> Yeah, >> it's the first time I faced the watcher this year. >> Busy. My bad, everybody. Uh, it's just more dramatic this way. It is. >> There we are. >> Feels a bit more I mean, we're not going to win no matter what. So, I mean, we need 14 more of those.

So, >> um, I get some other stuff, don't I? >> Yeah, you get plus three courage, plus three understanding. >> Okay. Uh, here's my penance. I'm not going to roll on the table. >> Oh, sorry. That's for Naomi. That's for Naomi down there. >> Sorry for >> Yeah, we'll just ignore it. I think that's fair.

>> Yeah, I'll just uh we'll get any bon I I'll take the the given bonuses that are, which is analyze and stalwart. But I won't go on the tables for being like that. Uh, right. Well, that was exciting. Followed by me going like, "Oh dear, I've been playing this wrong. Should be doing better." Uh, right.

Uh, I'll chuck and encourage the way of rats. >> Sounds good. >> Uh, that is a loss of survival. So, down to five for Naomi. I'm just going to I think I just leave. >> Yeah, go for it. >> on the ground. So, off you go. All right. Uh, I'm moving rats closer. I'm moving Aiththod closer. And I'm wondering if I mean I don't think I can close the gap.

So I think I just kind of like stay where I am. >> Yeah. >> I'm going to use the extra step to move here though >> with the uh leather boots. >> Yeah. >> All right. And then uh >> Yeah. You want >> I'm going to dash with Naomi here. >> Yeah. Get her out of the >> uh Yep. Lose that. So, one, two, three, four.

I'll go. Yeah, that's the edge range. It's twos. Two is one closer. >> Nice. >> Uh, right. So, pass this down here. >> Survival to four. >> Lantern vortex. >> Yep. Okay. So, lantern vortex, which will be a bash, which already knocked down. And whoops, I've dimmed. Uh, basic action for this survivor.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine. I think they're both at the same distance. >> Yep, they're both nine. >> Yeah. So, then we'll come into here. >> Yeah. Go for Azithoth. >> Yeah. Right. Good luck, Aithth. >> All right. Aiththoth has one, two, three. So, five pluses to hit here. It's a good day to be Aithoth.

>> I I I should be playing like Bolatro or something. The amount of matching sets I'm rolling. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh, okay. Um, time for the card. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Vomit lanterns. A random survivor in field of view. So, that's any old. >> Perfect. We need to get out the old universal cards because they got hidied away.

>> Away. >> Well, it looks like someone's going to get a little bit of a brain suck here. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. Let's make sure I've done that right. Yep. One of each. Here we go. It is uh number four. >> That's going to be um rats. >> Okay. Right. So that's not a big move then. Just there. Three dice.

Uh rats has one evasion. Yeah. >> Yeah. So three pluses. >> Three pluses. Um back to full hits. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh by Wow. >> Grab him now. Come on. There we go. Okay. Uh, that is >> head, body, body. Oh dear. >> Okay. Well, I can dodge >> one of them. >> You can dodge. You'd only take a one severe to the body if you dodge the It's actually impress.

>> Yeah. So, I think we do that and then we take Yeah, we Well, we're taking a severe to the body, but only one like you said. Okay. Uh, so let's roll. How about dead? >> Wow. >> Rest in peace, Rats. >> Yep. >> You know, I don't think this watch is going to have anyone to feed on. >> No, I don't think so either.

I think he he's making a big mistake. He just doesn't realize it yet. >> Yeah. Well, >> Copium. Yeah. Copium. Between the between between the players and the survivors, I think there's about three brain cells and most of them are in your brain. >> Yeah. >> Start still giving me too much credit. >> Okay.

Um >> I'm going to go hit with this Aithoth, I think. >> Yeah. Um I'm also going to hand you over Nomi to take control of. >> Oh, sure, sure, sure. >> Yeah. Let's do this solemnly pick up. >> Goodbye, Screaming Antelope Armor. You will always be one of my >> Yep. Now we we removed a board. Now I'm feeling like now it's real.

Now we know it's ending. >> Yeah. >> All right. So I think I'm going to hit and then move away uh just to get out of the vortex. >> Yeah. Oh. Um sorry. The the watcher moved into spaceship. >> Oh, okay. So I do need to move. That's okay, though. I can just dash away. Like I said, we're not we're just try we're trying to make this exciting, you know?

We're not trying to >> Yeah, >> I've kind of just accepted death a while ago. Four plus to hit. Let's go. Uh-oh. White out. Uh, they're not drawn the same, so move the watch to the center of the board and turn to face the attacker. Oh, that's kind of cool. It's like right here. They suffer three brain damage and are knocked down and gain the stolen dream survivor status card.

Exciting. >> There you go. >> Oh, is this the uh the the splash art? >> This is the All right. You can knock stolen dreams. You have nine plus courage and understanding. When you gain this, you are knocked down. You may knock down as long as you have this card. At the end of your act, if there are two or more any combination survivors or readies adjacent to you, archive this and can stand.

Okay. So, like catatonic. >> Yep. Um, I don't know if I'm going to be able to get we're going to be able to get >> No, that's that's fair. That's why you gave me Naomi. You knew this was coming. >> Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. I I knew that you're the watcher punish me for so heavily cheating. >> Yeah. All right.

Um, uh, I think God's standing, right? Yeah. >> Ar was knocked down at the start of um, Yeah. >> We're just going to move closer. >> Yeah. One, two, three. Right. >> Yeah. >> Get in by dashing. Guess the smart thing here to do is just to sort of advance up and take the punishment. >> Mhm. >> Um could could encourage Ooth.

>> Oh, he can't stand though, right? At all. >> He can't stand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, >> already because because I can't look at the stolen dreams guard and the board just gone from my >> um yeah I'm in position I could get next to him next turn maybe. >> Yeah, but I think that's the best we can do. >> Yep.

Don't want the watcher doing its knockdown. >> Ghost of Wraths is going to come here. >> Uh at the start of each monster turn, all survivors in the nexus suffer bash. So pretty benign here. Uh but then it's going to be furthest survivor which is going to be Naomi got to survive this Naomi otherwise uh >> yeah otherwise as >> otherwise it's just going to you're going to going to be a meal.

Yeah. >> Oh no hang on. Oh no wait. Carry on. >> Okay. Uh I have uh four plus >> two hits. >> Two hits. It's pretty reasonable. Um, we will dodge the head. >> Mhm. >> See if we keep it. We don't. >> Uh, and then we will take a heavy to the legs. >> Yep. Um, it's a severe to the legs. >> Yeah. Sorry.

Severe to the legs. Yeah. >> Five damage. Yeah. Yep. >> All right. Let's roll here. >> Yep. >> Am I dead? >> Don't lose a leg. Don't die. >> Five. Uh, hamstrung. A painful rip. The leg is unusable. You can no longer use any fighting arts or ability. This injury is permanent. Oh, that's pretty chill.

>> Incredible. So, you basically you've gained a bleeding token. >> Yep. >> There you go. >> Okay. >> You are. >> And then we draw on a card. >> Yeah. Petrify. Closest threat in field of view. That's going to be our good friend Ashlanaka. >> Oh god. This is This is miss or it's game over. Oh, yeah. Soul and Dreams.

Yeah. >> Yeah. Yep. >> Well, odds are um I'm going to steal this white one. I think >> I don't think we're going to inflict many more wounds here. >> You think we're not going to have to get rid of the the 10's? Odd. Dang. All right. Uh this is uh four pluses to hit, I believe. >> Um what is it? Two plus normally.

>> Yeah. >> Yep. Then four pluses. Yeah. All right. Um, that's going to be three hits. >> Um, yeah. So, that's it. That's definitely it. >> Um, I'd be able to dodge one of them, but >> yeah. >> Head, body, waist. >> Uh, yeah. So, um, I guess I dodge the head. >> Yep. And then still uh still take two sever and one to the waste.

>> Yep. And if I survive, I get the stolen dreams card. So I can't So So that's two survivors locked out the Anyway. >> Yeah. >> Here we go. Um so body first. Yeah. Body first. >> Hey, there if if there's no dreams to steal, the watcher doesn't win, right? >> Yeah. instantaneously kill the bone shard to the hut.

>> You achieved the impossible. You You scored a wound. >> Yep. >> I think >> or did No, you do. No, I can't remember. >> All right. And there's no threats to move him to. >> Yep. Um well, >> uh next turn. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um perform basic action. Uh, furthest survivor. One, two, three. One. Uh, one, two, three.

We can choose. >> You may as well send him at the one who's not doing anything for the rest of the fight. >> Yep. Seems like a reasonable choice. >> Yeah, time for feasting. >> Yeah, five pluses hit here. He also gains an insanity. He is targeting himself. Uh, three hits. Um I guess I mean Oh yeah. No, the one time you got attacked it was 2111.

He never took any damage. >> Yeah. >> Uh I mean I'll dodge one of the legs and just take uh clear up my armor points and the arms and the legs. >> Incredibly you can. Yeah. >> Yeah. Still dodging while catatonic >> rolling around. Yeah. >> Yeah. Oh, gets that insanity. Can't forget that. Oh yeah, that one point insanity could could change the game.

Um, >> and then we have >> resistance now is just dreaming. >> Honestly, seems pretty all right. They're getting stabbed in the chest. >> Yeah. >> Uh, when the inhale comes into play, draw an AI card. At the end of each monster turn, all survivors suffer knockback five directly towards the watcher. Then any Oh, that's kind of cool.

Inhale and then exhale. That's hype as hell. Okay. All right. And then he draws biofoton feast. Turn the watcher to face the furthest board edge. That's got to be this one. All survivors facing absorb. So all survivors facing is the target. No target absorbs. So there's no one he is facing. So it's just going to be the absorb.

>> Yeah. Uh move the watch to the center of the showdown board. All servers get minus one strength token. Heals 1d5 wounds. No. Oh, no. I'll put it. >> When the monster when a monster with life heals, if the monster uh uh current life is less than it starting value, increase the number by the indicated up to its starting value.

Okay. Yeah. So, that's pretty all right. We'll move forward. Oh, no. Wait. No. No. No. Target. Yeah. It's done. It's done. >> Okay. Well, you were knocked down at the start of the monsters turn. Uh Naomi was Oh yeah, because it was from Oh, no. That was last turn. This is the new round. We now go She stands up here because that was when Ratz was the controller.

>> Um that she was knocked down. >> Indeed. >> Yeah. So, uh so she does get a stand. Oh, it's just me now. You guys are dead. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I could I could take over a survivor, but there's no point because there's only one survivor who can function. They've got to achieve the impossible. I mean, I'm going to dash.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Doctor Strange is looking at you and he's like not raising any fingers. >> Yeah. >> He's just he's putting up a a zero. He's like, "There is no shot." >> Yeah. >> Sorry, dude. >> What do you want me to do? >> All right, let's attack this guy with the guitar. Um, we need a six plus to hit, I believe.

>> Um, yeah. >> All right, watch this. Two hits. >> Oh my goodness. >> I for a moment I was hoping it would be double trap. It should just be poetic. >> Yeah, that would be so hype. Uh, all right. Well, I'm going to do the void nexus first. And I believe I get a crit on an 8 n or a 10. >> Yeah. >> Nope.

>> Nope. >> Uh, and then I need a 10 for this one. >> Need that lantern. No smoke pushes lights. They attackers three disorders. They are knocked down. Otherwise, they gain a random disorder. How about seizures? That's That's pretty fitting for what the description for that was. >> That's spot on. >> Yep.

And you got a basic action coming in, >> right? Yeah. Okay. Uh, so we will >> face for you. >> Four dice and four pluses. >> Only one hit. >> Ow. Wow. >> To the legs. All right. That's going to be a roll cuz I can't dodge that, right? >> Yeah. No, you're do you're um you're in the middle of attacking.

So survival actions. Uh yeah. >> Six. >> Six. Right. Uh, Tornillies. Uh, until the end of the showdown, whenever you suffer light, heavy or severe injury, you're also knocked down. Skip the next hunt and gain a bleeding token. >> Don't forget, you can you can now clear these bleeding tokens off with your bandages.

>> No, no, sorry. The bandages are gone. >> Oh, wait. Oh, dang. Oh, dang. >> I need to take that sheet away. Off. You go to the dead pile. There are hundreds. >> All right. Uh you get to control this as our good friend uh Asha Naka. >> Okay. Um so Nome is bashed. >> Yeah. So knock down >> and then >> basic action for the survivor.

Well, we're just going to keep munching on >> Yeah. Aithoth. >> Uh Azithoth. He lays there knocked dreaming. >> Yeah. So five pluses here. >> Um two hits. >> Cool. body and hands. >> Uh, I will dodge the arms and just take five to the body. >> Yeah, it seems a lot more durable when you have like a good armor set.

>> Yeah. Yeah. When you don't have an armor set that results in immediate severe injury from a from a Yeah. >> All right. And then uh AI card. >> Yeah. The the ideal situation would have been we'd have at least one lantern armor set and one Phoenix set by here, but >> time to be throttled. Closest threat.

There isn't a threat, so it's absorb time. >> Uh, all right. Goes to the center of the board. It's already there. >> Yeah. And we're not taking the strength tokens cuz they just don't matter for anyone watching at home. Like, we're only hitting on crits. So, >> one of them absolutely doesn't matter at all anyway.

Yeah. But yeah, yeah, I have actually grabbed the strength tokens, but they're completely You're right. You're right. They're completely irrelevant because it's same number. >> Yeah, >> need that 10. >> Okay. Right. >> Uh, now it goes to Naomi. >> Yep. Who is knocked down? >> Yep. And then they'll do a basic attack.

Will once again feast on Aithth. Uh, five pluses. That's four hits. Aiththoth was not ready for this. >> No, I think Arkham's about to be finished. >> Uh, I mean, I'll dodge the head. I know I can take the head. I'll dodge the body. >> Yeah. >> So, I then Where else do I take it? >> You're taking it on the waist.

>> The arms. So, it's it's a crit on the arms. >> Yeah. Signatur severe there. Help. I'm trapped in my character sheet. There we go. Yeah. >> All right. Ath >> as trapped as Aithth is >> five. >> Um, probably not dead. >> That's leg destroyed back minus two permanent movement. You cannot activate any gear.

Has two strength. Two plus strength. This is permanent recorded once against bleeding organ as a punching bag. He's still there. >> Yep. >> He can do as much as he could do before. >> Yeah. Yeah, it shows how just how much there's a little like, you know, sometimes they die instantly, sometimes it's slow and painful.

>> Yeah. >> And then we get a card. Mortify closest threat. No, she's going to absorb again. >> Yep. >> All right. But Naomi stands up. >> Naomi stands up >> and she's going to attack >> for the sake of recording of grabbing that extra token she can get before she dies. >> All right. uh misses. Uh and I think she's just going to like get out of the way a bit, but yeah, she'll just get knocked back down.

>> If you move back two, at least you'll be out of range. >> We can go there. >> All right. But now he's going to move and attack her. >> Yeah. >> I mean, there's nothing we could do. This is just This is just like Look, even even forgetting how emboldened works and using it in the most favorable way possible, it's still >> Yeah.

>> disaster. >> Uh, two hits. >> Mhm. >> Double body. All right. That's going to be two severe body rolls. >> Um, >> oh, I can dodge one of them. >> Yeah. Survival. >> Yeah. So, it's only one severe body roll then. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, the bleed clock is ticking. though. >> Yep. >> Take a maximum.

>> I do keep my survival. >> Yep. >> All right, let's see what we got. >> Six. >> I think that's a broken rib. No, that's disembowled. Okay, one movement to the end of showdown. Gain one bleeding token. Um, if you suffer disembowled, at least one of the SL must live to the end to carry you back to seven.

>> Okay, >> she can keep fighting. She's got one movement and she can keep fighting. >> Yeah, she'll be knocked down regardless. Yeah. Amazing. Um, >> we'll go to Aithth as monster controller. >> Yep. >> So, he's going to come up over here now and attack. He's basically just getting to pick his pick his poison at this point.

>> Oh, yeah. >> All right. Uh, five pluses hit. Two hits. Body and arms. Um, and I mean I'll dodge the body. We might as well keep staying as long alive as long as we can. >> Oh yeah. >> And then I'll roll for the arms here. >> Seven. >> Uh, seven on the arms. I know that's a bleeding token and a broken arm.

Minus one permanent accuracy, minus one permanent strength. >> Uh, this injury twice. Not dead. No. Second bleed coming right over. Please hurry up. Watcher. Take a stop with us. >> All right, we'll see his card here. >> Oh. >> Oh, I guess we haven't been doing the inhale. >> Um, yeah, you should. >> That's It's fine.

>> Yeah, he just would have like No, we should be. >> Yeah, I mean, we can like I think they'll be at zero survival now. I think I mean Odds of Thoth will be and then I think it's been two turns. So, >> yeah, >> Naomi will be at one. >> All right. >> All right. Uh, it's just the opposite. Yep. Let's put it here.

>> Sure. >> You draw a new AO card. >> Liquify. Last threat to wound. Technically Naomi, >> but she's not a threat right now. >> Uh yeah, not a threat. So, no target. So, that's going to be an absorb. >> Yep. >> So, he's going to shuffle one to the side >> and heal. Nothing. And >> I think Naomi gets to stand up, though.

>> Yeah. They're both going to get knocked back five away though. >> Five. Yeah. One more. All right. Well, Naomi's going to go one, two, three, four, five, and then we're going to dash in to go over here. >> Yeah, >> I'm getting a wound on this guy. She's getting one more. She's hungry. Five plus. Two perfect hits.

>> This is her story. >> Yeah. >> Uh, attacker loses two survival. Oh, she's dead. >> I mean, I could go for the void hood first cuz there are two first strikes, right? Can I choose? >> Yeah, you can do the void hood first. Yeah. >> Yeah, let's go for it. >> All right. I want to get that one wound. >> 8 9 10.

>> Yes. >> Yes. Okay. She gains two strength tokens. There's our second embolden. we would have been able to do. >> Yeah. >> Although the showdown would have finished a lot earlier than that. >> Yeah. And now she's dead. >> And then Yeah. So this is her story. It's literally Naomi struck the Watcher uh inflicting a wound and then fell down instantaneously dead.

>> Yep. >> And Aith laid stolen dreaming while the Watcher moves in. >> Yes. >> This is actually the story of Aithoth's creation. We were just normal people, but this is how he makes the uh >> the the ancient entity. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. The birth of the birth of Azith. >> All right. Well, here you go.

Uh Aanaka, you can control to see if this is the end. >> Oh, we're going there, are we? We going to roll it. >> We have We have to see. We Aith's still technically not dead, right? >> Technically true. Sure. Brilliant. Yeah. >> Let's Let's finish this with >> We need the Watcher to go back to full health.

He He needs to do another absorb. >> Yeah, you're you're you're right. I mean, we got to think of the watch. Look, there we are. I rolled the one. >> Incredible. >> All right. Uh so he's going to move up here. >> Yep. >> And just uh you can roll four dice. Five plus. And he's out of survival. So now like he's in it.

>> Yeah. >> All right. One, two, three, four. I mean, technically, you can take three more severe injuries. >> Two hits. >> Two hits. >> All right. Uh, body, >> country roads, take me home. >> Yeah. All right. Two rolls here. Body and head. The the real most fatal ones. >> Yeah. >> Let's start with head.

>> Let's do uh start with I didn't Sure. I'd have gone the other way. >> 10. >> Can't kill Azathoth. Uh, >> he gets a destroyed tooth. Uh, does he have three plus courage? >> Uh, he has no courage, >> right? So, the blow would send him sprawling and he get knocked down and he's lost a tooth. >> Poor guy.

All right. Body five. That's That's his destroyed back again. He's He's loses another two movement. No, he can only be gained once. He gains a bleeding token and that's it. >> All right. He's already got it destroyed back. He can't have it. Uh oh, it's this is going to hit uh Aithoth. >> Oh, he's got a target.

Survivor closest to a board it. >> Move the washer to the center of the board. Place the target in front of the monster. >> Let's put it back in his spot where it was. >> Yeah, >> there you go. >> And then five pluses to hit here. Two hits. brain and waste. So, head and waste. So, that's going to be I mean, it's 10 damage, so we can't really do too much about that.

>> Uh, so let's see. Uh, let's do waste first. Eight. Eight on the waist. Okay. You have gotten a slashed back. Cannot surge until showdown ends and gains a bleeding token. Uh, apparently making sudden movements is excruciatingly painful. Well, more fools you Azoth off can't make sudden movements. >> Yeah.

All right, let's see. There's only a one in 10 chance that he survives, I assume. >> Yeah. Uh, he needs he needs the >> six. >> Uh, so six would be, I think, a disembowled. >> Yep. >> Yep. Um, uh, and the final bleeding token. >> Oh, that's that's the head. Six is uh death. That's also bleeding token.

Still still the same thing. He he gets deafened and >> what a journey. >> Um I personally think it's about the the rules mistakes aside. It's about the perfect ending to a journey you can see the first of the bosses and >> and lose to it. So like next time. Here we are. Defeat. Here you go. Uh, with a great inhalation, the Watcher greedily consumes everyone and everything before traveling for an eon, ultimately seeking a new place to hibernate.

This time of the settlement has come to an end. Its people in history are forever lost. Honestly, good riddance. And then we got to go to game over. Yeah. Hope I've got I never remember game overs in the alphabetical >> stupid hooded knight >> stupid people. >> Uh your campaign has ended in death and magnificent hopelessness.

The settlement is lost. Lost settlement. Start a new campaign by taking a settlement record sheet and filling in a box under the lost settlement section. Apply all milestone bonuses earned to your new campaign and begin the first story. For every successful settlement you lost, you may fill in a box and continue to earn a new milestone bonuses for your future campaigns.

>> Oh, and you can skip the first story showdown. That's like the uh the prologue, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. I uh I wouldn't recommend it cuz unfortunately the results are almost always worse than having 40. >> That does make sense because Yeah, you can usually >> The best population result there is 10 population, four basic and four white lion.

But the best possible result out of a showdown is 13 or 14ish. >> Yeah. Yeah. So that seems good. >> Yeah. >> So yeah, we got a marker. >> Where's that one here? So lost settlements. Bing. >> Yep. Yep. Done there. >> Right. So that means uh the end of the settlement in pretty much the end that I figured was coming, especially with the tail end of that.

But I think the important thing is to show you can get to the watcher in any campaign as long as you keep people alive. >> Yep. >> You might not be able to win, but you you can get there. I don't think there's, >> you know, any as long as you can manage population. >> Yeah. >> You can you can always get to at least the first nonpopulation zero.

And and I mean a big thing I learned pretty quickly in Kingdom Death, like and I when I mean quickly, I mean I learned it and when you and I did our first prologue tester together that wasn't even recorded and like three people died where I was like this is a game where it's about like the journey and not so much like the perfect like scenario.

The game is going to feel swingy. It's going to feel unfair at times, but the pendulum in theory with good play and more knowledge will swing more in favor to you, but it'll still just due to the way that RNG works swing the other way as well. >> Yeah, absolutely. Um, indeed. So, as it's been a a learning experience and also for me, it's been the first time this year I've replayed People of the Lantern cuz, as I said, I've been doing other other campaigns and other games.

So, it's been nice to come back here. I always forget what a delight the Watcher is. It's a It's one of my favorite designed like core finale type bosses. >> It seemed very good. It seemed like I I liked like everything I saw for it. >> Yeah, there's there's some of the designs where you're like, "Oh, this shows a little bit of roughness of their newness." Uh, and some of them you just look and go, "This is this is this is perfect.

This is this cannot be bettered." And I think this is one of them. This is such a thematic and well put together thing. Yeah, for sure. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, uh, next time we'll be on my table >> and we will be doing a full campaign setup with all of the choices. So, we'll be making decisions and we'll be talking about uh the pluses and minuses and benefits of each particular monster.

>> Uh, and that should be a lot of fun. It's my favorite things is setting up the a campaign. >> Yeah, >> very enjoyable. And we'll probably record that too for people for context as well. Yeah. So >> I definitely think we we should we will record it for for watching because I think it's it's interesting.

It's a question I quite often get is like how do you set up a campaign? And I've done a full sort of walk through my thoughts on each of the different monsters, but I've I don't think I've ever really properly sat down and said, "Okay, well, if you're setting up a campaign with first generation of stuff, these are the things you want to consider and think about." So it should be enjoyable.

Um, I'm making two hard decisions like automatically picking two of the monsters. >> Um, you One of them is to replace the hand. >> Okay. Yeah, because we've already seen that. We know that guy's thing. >> Yep. Um, and then the other one is the alternate prologue monster. >> There's only two monsters in on the simulator that have a prologue fight.

So, we're going to have the alternate one instead of the White Line, but you'll get to pick everything else. Um, and we'll still do People of the Lantern again and try and try and beat the Watcher and get through to the stuff afterwards, which should be >> a lot of fun. And also hopefully I'm going to try and be a bit more dialed in.

Um, it's late here and I it I do get very tired. >> Oh, no. I I I get that completely. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We have the I have the privilege of it only being like noon my time and we have a >> Yeah. >> quite a bit of time between this. hopefully like we'll catch more of the things um and get better because it's it's different for me playing and recording and then talking with you.

>> Yeah. >> And the field of view thing is like but I should really stop making excuses for it. It these things happen. >> Yeah. It just Yeah, it is. It is. So anyway, yeah. Um I I had a lot of fun and honestly that that went a lot longer for a fight than I expected it to. I really thought Stolen Dreams was going to pop up a lot earlier.

>> Um Oh yeah, there. So, but yeah, that was that was that was a delight and farewell to Arkham. >> Yeah. And honestly, let's never go back. >> Yeah, it is. It is a silly place, >> but I I don't think we really could have asked for anything better than finishing on. That's >> Oh, yeah. No, that was it was it was like the perfect the perfect ending for us.

>> Yeah. Well, before we before we wrap up, was there any sort of like things you really uh liked as we're going through like any moments of of choices and decisions made that you >> uh So, yeah, for me it's uh it's actually I think less about the um the decisions for Kingdom Death that really work for me, but the thing that really makes me love this game is the reactive AI, the react the hit location deck.

reactive behaviors. >> Yeah, this was the thing that made me be like, "Oh, this game is cool when like every hit location had a different sort of effect and they were all like different parts of the monster." >> Um, but I am excited to look at more build variety because there was like the start like I I think like you the uh investigator that I was sad the most that died was Skids cuz I think we had a really cool build going with him.

>> Yeah. >> And then obviously two Silus. As you said, those deaths were great like stories in like Valentino's thing, right? Like those are all awesome stuff. I'm just hoping for the next one we don't get a plague early on. That's my my only hope. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. All right. Well, um that's great.

Uh yeah, we will have more build variety in the next campaign and we'll even be able to curate a little bit which weapons we want to experiment and journey with. Um, and uh we I'm gonna have a bit of a firmer hand on the on this on the tiller on the steering just just in the early stages of the campaign.

>> Yeah. And what we could do too is uh you can like give let me choose and then you can be like this is what you should choose then we'll do that one cuz then I can still like puzzle through and try to solve. But then you can like be a guiding hand and I don't mind that because now I have a bit more >> experience with this.

I I think there's only a few like specific points where I I do want to firmly be like we do this, we do this. Um on the whole though, it it's I I'm very happy like you picked up on stuff very quickly. Um I I still don't know if it was really uh bad luck that nailed this so much. I know that, you know, I can think of a couple of decision points where a survivor died that shouldn't have.

Um but on the whole I don't know what we're supposed to do in some of some of the hunts really >> Yeah. >> crushed us. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> No, I feel like uh if if we weren't maybe not like we weren't defeated by decisions, but like every decision cut a little bit off >> and like like the like and then eventually the the weight of that coupled with the RNG kind of just like threw us to a point where we couldn't really recuperate from.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Okay. All right, >> fantastic. >> So, for people watching on uh YouTube, I don't imagine there's going to be a big break between this and the next campaign. We'll probably still sit at the every two weeks for the next episode of this. Uh there might be a change, but rest assured there will be another campaign starting up, so keep your eyes open for that.

But in the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this run. Uh look forward to also a run with me, Travis, and Brin in the near future uh with uh the physical copy which has been pretty enjoyable for the recording that u but otherwise thanks for watching. Have a good one and as always a GG's.
