Goblins Minesweepers - Hammertime!

[Theis2]

Shiny flags F4

[Jibjib]

Blitz Craig attacks again!

[Nerre]

PS: Rescue on Craig, just in case something goes wrong with the guardian!

[Zigit]

No-Legs shoots the guardian.

[WearsHats]

PS: Rescue on Craig, just in case something goes wrong with the guardian!

You can't Rescue someone from battle. Only mines and traps.

[Nerre]

Somebody shout "IT'S A TRAP!" and try to look froglike while doing so. It's worth a try! The guardians clearly ambushed us...which is about the same as a trap, only with fighters, not pointy sticks or poison.

[LooksAndSmiles]

PS: Rescue on Craig, just in case something goes wrong with the guardian!

You can't Rescue someone from battle. Only mines and traps.

That is nevertheless true (except that I removed traps from rescue lvl 1 a while ago). But I think Nerre counts on something disasterous if the last guardian falls too (as it is likely with so many attackers), so it's certainly worth a try.

[Davecom3]

Goska punches the guardian again while playing her harmonica.

[Nerre]

BONESPLOSION!

[GathersIngredients]

Seeing how the enemy apparently can't hurt most people, anyways, Stumbles punches the guardian.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Turn 24

Flags Fuses steps over to E2.
Oh See That Shiny flags F4.
Flags Mines watches the show, munching popcorn.

The others brutally overkill the poor guardian. Goska tries to play the harmonica but it doesn't seem to do anything.

The guardian drops an arrow (which stuck in thanks to No-Legs), a jacket, and a Power Surge token, and 5 coins.

The circle below the hammer fades out.

Stumbles around gains 2 XP.
Blitz Craig gains 3 XP.
Goska Bluey gains 1XP.
No-Legs gains 1XP.
Tries-and-Dies respawns on I5, ready to fight... Except there is nothing left to fight. He gains 5XP for the mine pulling, though.

[Jibjib]

Craig will take the power surge token and then run H5-> G5

[Nerre]

Move to E1, uncover the last tile! With the guardian dead, I think this means we are done!
If nobody of the fighters needs/wants the jacket, I would like to wear it. Got not def-items yet.

[gamecreator]

20 XP! Where is that level up already! >_<
So if the map is finished, does that mean we automatically carry the hammer out? If not, Tries runs to I4 to H4 to G4 so he can assist.

[GathersIngredients]

Stumbles grabs the coins and helps lift the hammer.

[WearsHats]

G3 G4 G5. I'll help with the hammer next turn.

[Theis2]

Shiny follows along careting the hammer

[Davecom3]

If available, Goska will take and wear the jacket. The arrows aren't of any interest to her, and the Power Surge and gold coins have already been taken.

It looks like we're just about ready to start carrying the hammer out of the map now, so if enough people want to help carry the hammer, she'll prepare to help move it.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Turn 25

Blitz Craig picks up the [Power Surge] token.
Flags Fuses explores the last tile, a 3. +1XP
Stumbles around grabs the 5 coins.
No-Legs recollects her arrows lying around all over the map.
Goska Bluey dons the jacket.

Oh See That Shiny, Tries-and-Dies and Flags Mines joins the hammer bringing procession.

And thus, the goblins bring the hammer back to the giant. He promptly takes it away, and smashes some old crypts just for practice.

- Ah, glad to have this back. Also, I don't know what have you been doing, but I'm no longer bound to this place. I guess I owe you a favor.

What shall it be?

VICTORY!

EVERY PLAYER can choose 1 of the following bonuses:

• 10XP.
• a random skill token, matching either class or PT.
• a random +1 item for an empty slot.
• a small enhancement for an already worn item.
• 10 coins.

[WearsHats]

Ooo, neat! I'll take the +1 item, please.

[Nerre]

Cool!
As Flags Fuses is a bit behind the others in level, I think I will take the 10 xp. I hope I can by some items with my gold, but I cannot by xp. So the xp it is.

Next update = shopping before next mission?

[Davecom3]

Hmm, maybe if I choose an enhancement to an object, my whip might be able to be used as a weapon. I guess I'll hope so, since I don't really want to drop any of my skills from their socket.

[Jibjib]

Craig will take the enhancement to his Jacket please

[LooksAndSmiles]

Hmm, maybe if I choose an enhancement to an object, my whip might be able to be used as a weapon. I guess I'll hope so, since I don't really want to drop any of my skills from their socket.

Whip can be only used as a damaging weapon if you have a [Weaponize] token. Or if you get an enchantment with the same effect, but it has a low chance. I'd like to keep the warriors as the main source of damage against monsters, the other classes should rely more on utility and tricks than straight up battle.

Next post will be evaluation (paying out flags) and the possibility to shop, once everyone has decied what to pick as a reward.

► Show Spoiler

And from what I see, we have enemies too heavy to push that we can't lure into enough traps to take them out(what with them not being able to leave a certain vicinity), basically necessitating warriors to actually defeat or get around. If we wind up in a situation where the warriors don't join the map or drop out of the game, maybe because they're busy or for other reasons, which you have already calculated the enemy locations for, and you make it so we need warriors to actually defeat the enemies, then we may definitely be in a tight predicament. While I can understand warriors being the major class for weaponry and fighting, we must be able to clear the map regardless of what class options people choose. And binding the enemy with a whip loses effectiveness and value if our spelunkers don't want to even get close to these enemies, now that they can't use the whip to do enough damage, through traps or other means, to handle the enemies, unless they get extremely lucky to find a rare weaponization either as a token or otherwise. Given binding the enemy basically means the enemy can only go towards the spelunky with the whip, the spelunky binding the enemy is just luring the enemy towards them when they can't necessarily defend themselves against the enemies they're luring(and some enemies can't even be lured effectively into traps).
