Leoric's Reanimate moves to L5 (via K7, K6, L5) then attacks the spider at L4.

The Reanimate shambles past all the commotion to catch up to the Cave Spiders in the back and attacks!

Can someone remind me about the rules for trading items between heroes?

Trading Items wrote:

Heroes may give or receive Shop Item cards, Relic cards, and Search cards to or from each other during a move action. At any point during his move action, a hero may trade any number of Shop Item cards, Relic cards, or Search cards with an adjacent hero. Trading does not require an additional action or the expense of movement points.
A hero must still wait to equip any cards he receives until the start of his next turn. Heroes cannot trade Class cards (including their starting equipment) with each other. A hero may give another hero a card without receiving one in return; likewise, a hero may receive a card without giving one in return.

Leoric moves to N6, tossing his stamina potion to Laurel as he goes by. From N6 he attacks the spider at M4.

Who would like an extra move from Syndrael's oath of honor?

We need to get a couple of us up to slow down the goblins. That's why I gave Laurel the stamina potion - she's the only one other than me with a ranged attack, so she can burn a bunch of stamina to move close to them and try to shoot one or two. They're going to grab the crops and run, and we'll never catch them once they're headed for the exit.

Alright, let's not waste it. Laurel moves straight to L5, then suffers 3 fatigue to move to K2, quaffs the stamina potion (thanks!), and suffers 3 more fatigue to move to H2, then shoots the goblin in E2.

There is something that I think people are forgetting about, and that is it takes 1 Stamina to move away from the Red Cave Spider's immediate vicinity. So Leoric would suffer 2 Stamina to do the move states and Laurel would be maxed out on Stamina standing on I2 instead of H2 (spending 1 extra Stamina to move her first step). Is that ok with everybody? Just wanted to be sure people knew about it first.

Stupid webs. I'm okay with it. In retrospect, perhaps I should have kept the stamina potion for myself. I didn't realize at the time that Laurel only had three stamina, versus my five.

D'oh. Okay then, Laurel is stopping in I2, and will shoot in the goblin in F3.

Fighting his way through the webs, Leoric charges through the chaos of battle to strike a Cave Spider attempting to block the way!

Leoric, would you like to use your extra surge to heal 1 health (Thanks to Avric's Hero ability) or 1 fatigue?
Laurel, are you ok with the movement you specified knowing about the web's effect?Tannhausered! I'll do your move next.

IMAGE(https://dl.dropbox.com/s/m6vv20ciek3pey5/2-Leoric.jpg)

I'll heal a fatigue.

Don't forget about Leoric's ability (-1 damage from monsters within 3 spaces) when we get hit.

Laurel, taking the opportunity presented to her via the Stamina Potion from Leoric, charges past the Cave Spiders into the clearing where the goblins are and fires a shot into the crowd!

Also, Laurel gets to regain one stamina from her unused Surge. Leoric, I got your healed surge in here as well.

Thanks for the reminder about your hero ability as well. I reviewed the last round and everything seemed in order as the monster needs to be in 3 spaces, not necessarily their target. It will hamper the spider's upcoming round however, that's for sure.

Man, been busy and all, but also can't come up with any idea of what to do. Anyone have suggestions?

We need to get everyone up and over to hit the goblins ASAP. Even if that means ignoring the spiders for now. If you can't get close enough to attack the goblins, at least move twice and get in a position where the spiders can't block you off.

Syndrael pops her oath of honor and shares it with who ever would like a free move. She uses it to move to L4. She then moves to I1 and again to F3 using 3 fatigue. She then attacks the goblin at E3.

I am not 100% that I did that right but it is worth a shot. Avric might want to take the 2nd half of my Oath of Honor and get a free move to get up here too.

Syndrael, sensing urgency is necessary, yells out to the party to get a move on, and runs past the spiders! Continuing on, she charged sword first into the unfortunate goblin in the middle of the pack!

Turn seemed right by me. Leoric/Reanimate/Avric, one of you get a free move action this turn.

Go for it, justinbot. Avric can burn a couple of fatigue with a free move and get into goblin-smashing range.

All right.

Avric moves to L3 with the free move, zig zagging from M5 to L4. Then as his actual move goes to H1, burns two fatigue to get to F2 and hit the goblin at E3/

Point of clarification. Can units move through the red square spaces? If so it may make more since to try to block off the area.

Avric attempts to shrug off the poison effect from the Cave Spider...

Avric fails the Strength check and takes one damage from being Poisoned!

Avric, hearing Syndrael's call to charge, runs past the Cave Spiders and right into the group of Goblin Archers, attacking the same Goblin Archer as Syndrael!

Avric would you like to recover one Fatigue or one Damage from your Surge roll?

Yes, units can move over the red spaces themselves. However, the entrance to the area is defined as so, where you cannot move through the red lines.

I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore questions about this or anything else.

Once Avric/thejustinbot makes their decision on their surge, it will be the Overlord's turn unless there's something I've missed!
IMAGE(https://dl.dropbox.com/s/f38w87y610jg89j/2-Avric.jpg)

Recover one strain.

The Overlord draws a new Overlord card and places a reinforcement Cave Spider at M10 and a Goblin Archer at B10!
The Goblin Archers are activated!
The Goblins near the crops rush in, spend an action grabbing the crops, and start running back towards the exit! The goblin that just entered runs up to D1.

The Cave Spiders are activated!
The Overlord plays Frenzy, granting the Large Cave Spider an extra attack!
The Large Cave Spider moves to M6 and attacks Leoric!

The Large Cave Spider misses!

The Cave Spider at M4 moves to J2...

Laurel/Gravey, would you like to atcivate Nimble? The Cave Spider does have 1 movement point left, just so you know.

Here's the battlefield currently.

Let me know if anybody has any questions!

I'll suffer 1 fatigue to somersault to G2 if it pleases m'Overlord.

Do you mean H2? You only get 1 square of moment.

Also, sorry about the delay. Wedding and stuff this weekend.

Sorry, I meant H2, yeah.

Laurel somersaults out of the way of the charging Cave Spider to H2! The Cave Spider continues to move to I3...

Another choice for ya Laurel/Gravey if you want to do the same.

Here's the current battle map.

Heroes, it is your turn!
Yikes, some crazy rolls there. Never lose hope however, as many of you are easily in range to start taking those crops back to the farm!

Let me know if you have any questions.
