Have you seen the Yellow Sign? Let's All Play Cthulhu Wars — Again!

North Atlantic ghoul will come down to South America via Necrophagy to pain each side once.

My understanding is that as the attacker, Sleeper gets to retreat first. Is that right?

Yep, attacker first.

I'll send a Wizard to S. Atlantic.

I'll send the Cultist to the North Pacific.

Goat is up.

Sorry, I'll get to it by tomorrow.

It's fine, I just ping the the thread when it's been a day or two.

Goat Round 5 Turn 3

Power: 10
Doom: 10
Signs: 3

ACTION: Battle Yellow in West Africa. Rolls: 1d6=6, 1d6=1, 1d6=1, 1d6=5, 1d6=5. Got a kill. I think that's the end of things there? (1 power)

Power: 9

Yellow Sign, Round 5, Turn 3

Power: 9
Doom: 7
Elder Signs: 4

ACTION: Use Undimensioned to move all units in Scandinavia, Europe, and the North Pacific to South America (Hastur, King, 3 Star Vampires, and 1 Cultist.) (2 power)

UNLIMITED ACTION: Control gate in South America

UNLIMITED ACTION: Battle against Black Goat in South America (1 power)

Pre-Battle: Sleeper may use Energy Nexus.

Regardless of what Sleeper does, I roll 10 dice:

Rolling for Star Vampires: 1d6=5, 1d6=1, 1d6=1. 1 power drained from Black Goat

Rolling for other units: 1d6=1, 1d6=3, 1d6=1, 1d6=1, 1d6=6, 1d6=5, 1d6=3. Ghoul in South America dies.

Post-Battle: Black Goat may use Necrophagy.


Power: 7
Doom: 7
Elder Signs: 4

(I'll remove the spoiler tags once Periodical posts a decision regarding Energy Nexus.)

No Nexusing for me.

No Necrophagy.

That's my turn, then. I've updated the map to reflect the last couple of turns. Opener is up next.

Opener Round 5 Action 3

Power: 5

Build Gate in Antarctica.



Power: 3

Opener Round 5

Move Cultist and Wizard from S. America to S. Pacific, getting 1 power back from Burrowing.

Power:2

Goat Round 5 Turn 4

Power: 8
Doom: 10
Signs: 3

ACTION: Move Fungus from West Africa to Arabia (1 power).

Power: 7

Before I finalize my move, I have a question for Periodical.

Unless I'm mistaken, you don't have a Cultist in South America; you have a Serpent Man there. Did you want to move a Serpent Man and Cultist from South America, or a Wizard and a Cultist from South Atlantic?

Oops yes mistyped the location. From South Atlantic.

In that case:

Yellow Sign, Round 5, Turn 4

Power: 7
Doom: 7
Elder Signs: 4

FREE ACTION: Battle against Sleeper in South America (1 power).

Periodical, would you like to use Energy Nexus before the battle?

Yea I'll move 2 Moonbeasts from S. Atlantic to S. America.

Power:1

Rolling for Star Vampires (3 dice): 1d6=4, 1d6=6, 1d6=2

Star Vampires inflict 1 Pain and 1 Kill, draining 1 Power and 1 Doom from Sleeper.

Rolling for other units (7 dice): 1d6=2, 1d6=2, 1d6=6, 1d6=6, 1d6=2, 1d6=3, 1d6=4

That's 1 Pain and 2 Kills. I use Hastur's Vengeance ability to assign the kills to the Wizard, Serpent Man, and 1 Moonbeast, and assign the 2 Pains to 2 Moonbeasts.

Is that it?

I believe Periodical gets one retaliatory die from his Serpent Man.

A 5 for me
I'll move the 2 pains back to S. Atlantic.

Gerad, would you like to get your Necrophagy on?

Nope. Sorry, should have said that earlier.

My Undead in South America retreats to the North Atlantic.

Power: 7

ACTION: Cast Undimensioned to move Hastur, the King, and 3 Star Vampires from South America to the North Atlantic. (2 power)

UNLIMITED ACTION: Battle against Black Goat in North Atlantic. (1 power)

Rolling for Star Vampires: 1d6=1, 1d6=1, 1d6=4

Star Vampires inflict 1 Pain and drain 1 Power.

Rolling for other units: 1d6=3, 1d6=3, 1d6=2, 1d6=5, 1d6=2, 1d6=1, 1d6=1

1 Pain. I don't think anyone else can intervene, so I believe Gerad now gets to retaliate and decide if he wants to use Necrophagy.

Seems like things are slowing down with the holiday coming up. Do we want to take an actual hiatus?

Sorry -- a lot of it is just laziness on my account. I'd rather just keep going. I'll roll later today when I get home.

All right, then.
