Dislikes Choosing moves south, and digs south-west.

Anyone needing silver or sapphire? I am looking for iron...

Move Ne and Dig NE and then attack Diggersby with Pickaxe

Chokes moves south east and digs south.

Diggersby is willing to trade with Dislikes, giving him 3 Iron in exchange for 2 Silver and 1 Sapphire. He then moves north-west and digs north.

I see nothing about being able to attack players.

I don't either, but I'm willing to try.

Trade accepted! :)
I love the try. Will you throw your pick-axe at Diggersby? Will that count as a possibility for diggersby, after a successful save, to dig twice n a round?

Hey, if he wants to throw his pickaxe at me and give me the win, I'm all for it.

Throws Hats busts through the shaft and encounters Diggersby at the other end.
"-I'll end your mining rampage here!" - he claims, and flails around with his pickaxe wildly. He has no idea how to use the thing to attack players, and as a natural (cowardly) goblin, he would start to run at the first sight of counter-aggression anyway.
Also, players can't be stripped off of their original pickaxe, I'm sorry

What happened in turn 8
Diggersby and Dislikes Choosing exchanged some resources.

Turn 9

And the race for the diamond has begun!

Dislikes Choosing moves south, and starts to demolish the boulder on the south west. He needs 2 more hits.
Diggersby moves northwest, and also starts to heave his pickaxe against a boulder. He also needs 2 more hits.
Choked on coal (yellow) moves southeast, and mines 1 piece of a silver, again.
Throws Hats moves north-east, and mines 2 pieces of iron!

Diggersby trades 3 silver to Nightstalk for 1VP and digs north.

Chokes trades in his gold for a victory point.

Chokes then moves south and digs south west

Throws hats moves N and then moves NE and scampers past Diggersby to the diamond....

Or he just moves N and digs NE

Digs southwest and then sprints southwest to grab the diamond he feels lying right on the other side of this boulder...

(still waiting for trades to be finalised...)

Edit: trade finalised: trading with NPC Olof for pickaxe- card, play that immediately, digghitting southwest, move southwest (i don't remember if there's a limit on the order of dig/move), grab the diamond while swinging south to intimidate Diggersby ( no intent to hit another Goblins, if Diggersby moved too close, hit south-west to intimidate Diggersby)

What happened in turn 10
Diggersby trades in for another VP.
Dislikes Choosing trades for iron with Throws Hats.
Dislikes Choosing trades in 5 iron for a pickaxe from Olof.
Choked on coal (yellow) trades in for a VP.

Just a tip!
DC started to make the trading privately in at turn 9, so he could sudden grab the pickaxe and win the game with a quicker hit.
I have nothing against sneakiness. However, since I didn't know about the trade attempt in time and everyone posted publicly, I made the update for the turn 10, thus unknowingly foiling the masterplan. So if you think to do such things in the future, shoot me a pm too beforehand (even if you are unsure of the results), or delay your public action. I'm always waiting for everyone to post, anyway.

Turn 11

Diggersby breaks the way open to the diamond!
Dislikes Choosing also breaks open the way to the diamond!
Choked on coal (yellow) moves south, and mines yet another 3 pieces of gold.
Throws Hats moves north, and would help to dig north east on the boulder, but it's been already removed...

Lilith the priestess has left!
Stephan, the Head Smelter is about to leave! He will be replaced by another trader next turn.
A new trader has arrived! Kindle, the firespitter would gladly buy some Ruby.

Now, what will happen?

As per the rules

Each player has 3 actions for a turn, in this order:
1. Play a Card (if they have)
2. Move
3. Dig!

Since the last dig actions to remove the boulders happened this turn, the players couldn't just grab the diamond, which can happen next turn. And since everyone is within range to grab it...

I think it would be unfair to make it "first post wins".
I think it would be also kind of unfair to make a "free for all four".

So top side will fight for the right to grab from above, and bottom side will also fight to grab from below!
Of course, if someone does not want to grab the diamond, they can state it now and is out of the rumble! (And would be known as not-a-real-digger-goblin as everyone knows they all want them shinies...)

When we have the two winners (side from north and south), they will compete for the final grab!

Now, what will the fight be?
Since DC and Diggersby were the first two to open the way, they can challenge Chokes and Throws, respectively.
There are three kinds of challenges!
- Challenge of wits! (I will be dealing you 3 cards. whoever guesses the other's cards faster, will win.)
- Challenge of brawn! (I'll roll for a resource. Whoever collects 4 of it faster will win. In this case, normal rules apply, so you can still collect VP and cards from other sources, might be even trading for the resource asked.)
- Challenge of luck! (I roll a d10 for each player, the bigger number wins.)

Challenge them!

DC challenges Choked for luck, and if
- wins/challenge not accepted: moves south west to grab the diamond (with a challenge for luck against whoever else tries)
- looses: shrugs shoulders and digs north-east and south-east.

It was my fault and my botched attempt to try to trade for iron and pickaxe in all sneakyness. I initiated it too late, and in round 8, there wer not enough iron in game yet.
I also forgot that I would need 5, my memory told me three were sufficient to try for pick-axe in random "Fancy Card".

edit1: correction
edit2: am I even allowed to do conditional moves? Or is wanting to be in he rumble already a "move and dig" action?

I would like to be in the rumble.

Chokes agrees to the challenge of luck!

Also trades in his gold.

If he wins he'll go for the diamond, if not he'll go mine some iron.

DC rolls a 7 on his challenge!
Choked rolls a 4.

DC wins and is waiting for the competition of the south!

Choked's actions are noted and are postponed until we see what the bottom half is up to.
