THE HAUNTED WOODS

I've never watched it, but recognise the guys voice from My Hero

 

[HarvSFC]

Tweenies for me please.

 

[Magic]

Delighted not to be involved in this.

 

[HarvSFC]

YOU'RE NOT WELCOME

 

[Oaf]

Well, I wasn't here for that game either, but if it's any consolation the only one that I'd have known (even after reading the fucking answers) would have been the Aliens one, which I guess everybody knew so it would have been a complete lottery as to who got there first.

One day there's going to be a challenge that takes place during a time period where I'm actually able to come online. That's the dream...

The clips are hard to separate the stronger teams from the weaker ones. Well done Team Indy for getting 4 out of 6 of the supposedly impossible clips correct! Dave hodge

End of turn 4 locations:

Indy: 75
Potter (1-8 movement dice): Temple of Martyrs Dungeon
Link: The Menacing Mansion
Howard: 75
Locke: ?69

I assume Locke didn’t want to trade with the Merchant as they don’t have much money left. The updated Merchant shop is always in the OP so if you reach or pass the Merchant don’t wait for me to point out you have before you make your selections in your PM (every “?” space on the board is the Merchant)

Demon King moves to...space 70. Locke is sent to the Underwater Castle dungeon!

Indiana Jones [11BR] vs Cockroach thing [24BR]

Equipment used: Shotgun + 1 SG bullet

Indiana Jones is dominated by the big bug, he tried to use his whip after the bullet fails to take the beast down but the monster grabs the whip in his teet, pulling it out of Indy's grasp and eating it. Indy winds up in the Cave dungeon.

Howard [10BR] vs Cockroach thing [25BR]

Equipment used: none

The bug has gotten stonger after seeing off Indiana Jones. Howard saw Indy heading in before him and with no sign of him he assumes the worst, which doesn't make Howard feel anymore confident. He's unarmed as well apart from his special magic Howard powers of course. The bug is dominant again though and Howard joins Indy in the dungeon. Cockroach thing (just looked it up it's official name is "Ed the Bug") is now BR 26!

And the Abandoned museum.....

Game abandoned.

John Locke finds his way into THE ABANDONED MUSEUM.

He wanders the eerie corridors which contain a number of strange displays and artefacts, but he can’t find any treasure. He turns a corner and nearly jumps out of his skin with fright when he sees staring back at him…..

A SPOOKY MASK. Once his fears subside he decides to try the mask on…well why not? What could possibly go wrong?.....

[last request]

Suddenly the mask seems to come alive, it tightens its grip on Locke’s head – lifting him into the air. He floats there helplessly for a second and then the mask, still attached to his face hurls him against the wall. Then, 4 other masks on display near by all float up into the air and go crashing through a museum window into the dark night of the Haunted Woods.


The other 4 intrepid treasure seekers are in different locations but the 4 runaway masks each find what seem to be their targets – Indiana Jones, Halifax Howard, Link and Harry Potter all find themselves in the same position as Locke with masks attached to their faces. They are all dragged floating through the air and into the heart of the Abandoned Museum. Finally our 5 heroes end their time suspended in the air as the masks release their grip and everyone goes crashing to the museum floor.


Link: “…”


Howard: “Who was it this time?”


Locke: “It was me, sorry!”


Indiana Jones: “Well, don’t beat yourself up too much Johnny boy, you actually got me out of a little predicament there.”


Harry; “What on earth is this place?”


Indy: “It’s a museum, thought that was kind of obvious. Find any treasure here Locke?”


Howard: “Of course, always thinking about the treasure – not why the heck were we just dragged here kicking and screaming by SPOOKY masks which seemingly have a life of their own”


Indiana: “The only one obsessed with treasure is you. I know interest rates are ridiculously low at the moment and you need something to boost your savings, but don’t take that desperation out on me.”


All 5 explorers could understand Howard’s point though. These masks were indeed SPOOKY and they all had the exact same idea in their heads – maybe they could use one of these masks to scare the others out of the museum so that they could claim the treasure for themselves. It seemed that the evil atmosphere in the Haunted Woods was seeping into these once noble heroes and now they were determined to selfishly pursue the treasure for themselves only….

SPOOKY MASKS Challenge

Using the spooky masks found in this abandoned museum, you have to try and scare the other four adventurers away so that you can search for the treasure in the museum uninterrupted yourself!

Each person has 4 masks.

3 of these are happy masks, one is a spooky mask.

During this challenge, you will play your masks face down in an order that you decide. You PM me to play a mask face down on your “personal mat”.

To start the round everyone puts one mask face down on their personal mat.

One player is randomly selected to play first, then we will go in turn order from that player.

This player can either add a mask to their pile, or make a bid on how many happy masks they think they can turn over without turning over a SPOOKY mask.

If they add a mask action passes to the next player who faces the same choice.

When someone makes the first bid for the round, no more masks can be added by anyone from that point. People can either outbid them or pass.

Once everyone else has passed, the person who made the highest bid has to turn over that number of happy masks without flipping over a spooky mask.

They have to turn over all of their own pile first before going to other people’s mask piles (but they don’t have to turn all of their own masks over at once, eg. If the bid is 2 and they have a pile of 3 with the spooky mask at the bottom then that is do-able).

If a team fails to fulfil their bid they lose one of their 4 masks (they can choose which). Lose all 4 masks and you are eliminated.

If team successfully fulfils a bid they score a point – and if a team scores 2 points they win the challenge and piece of treasure. Or, if you are the last team left in it you win.

First session for this will be at 6.30 pm tomorrow!

 

[hodge]

bullshit

 

[Leewilson]

I don't get how you can turn over all of your own pile before moving on to another team's pile. Surely to turn over all the masks in your own pile, one of them would be a spooky mask and therefore you'd lose the bid.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Oh more complex games, I wonder who will win?

 

[HarvSFC]

I'm leaving the house at 6 tomorrow.......

Paul has team-mates.

Only if you decide to put a spooky mask into your own pile. You fill your own pile up 1 mask at a time.

 

[Oaf]

AAAAAND... I'm working all night tomorrow. This is about right.

JUST ONE GAME. ONE GAME WHEN I'M FREE, LR. Is this too much to ask?

 

[Leewilson]

Only if you decide to put a spooky mask into your own pile. You fill your own pile up 1 mask at a time.

But we only have 4 masks each don't we? So say theoretically, I've put 3 happy masks down. What would I do next if I didn't want to put a spooky mask down still.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Only if you decide to put a spooky mask into your own pile. You fill your own pile up 1 mask at a time.

So the masks we're turning over (after the bid) are the ones that have been played, not the ones in our hand?

 

[MagpieBee]

Once someone has started bidding, no more masks can be put down, so you'd start bidding...
