It takes some getting used to when talking about cards without being specific.

Not to mention, when you have a table full of people who don't really know each other that well and may not exactly convey or interpret the message accurately, then there's the opportunity for miscommunication.

So, don't be afraid to talk a little bit vaguely. For the most part, you can get by with not referencing the card by name (except for Merlins; kind of hard to talk about Merlin without saying Merlin). You can see in the previous posts how we referred to Lancelot, the Black Knight, the Picts/Saxons, and the Grail.

Sir Percival Tables please choose the Progression of Evil.

[Tables]

Hmm... Jorbles and Kuildeous, can you help with the grail quest?

[Kuildeous]

Alas, I cannot. If King Arthur is unable to retrieve the Grail, I will be forced to go elsewhere.

I thought about suggesting that Eevee lose a life for progression, but that would have put him at 1 Life, which is really dangerous. Tables and Jorbles could afford that price, especially if you are able to complete the quest while I'm still here.

Then I could draw more cards at Camelot or use my modestly impressive and widely varied hand to deal with the dragon, Picts, or Saxons.

[Eevee]

My hand is dwindling, I can't keep going with the excalibur much longer. I have one other card I maybe should have played earlier already and can definitely play before moving, but in general we need to figure out some way for a poor knight with limited amount of life points and no cards can help our efforts.

[Tables]

I've peeked at the top card, and it's unpleasant. I don't think we can put it off forever, though, but I also don't think it's worth Merlining. Can anyone help much with the grail?

[Eevee]

Should people who only have one grail trade them to the king rather than wasting a turn transporting to play them?

[mail-mi]

I can finish off the Picts then get some cards for all of us and take us all back to Camelot.

[Eevee]

Oh the grail is one grail short? My previous guestion isn't very relevant then..

[Tables]

Hmm... unfortunately, I fear that I need to take the top card, because we need to hit it sooner or later.

Morgan III (Special Card): "One Knight immediately loses 2 Life points -OR- each Knight discards 1 White card."

I think we can still Merlin it, but I don't think it's worth it. I can afford a discard, or I could take the life penalty - I'll be on the verge of death, but being close to finishing the grail does mitigate that a lot.

[Jorbles]

I can help with the Grail quest, but only a little.

[mail-mi]

I could discard a card.

[Jorbles]

I can't finish it, but I can get us to the doorstep.

[Kuildeous]

As I understand it, we are two away from completing the Grail quest. If Tables and Jorbles each play a Grail card, then we're golden, though that could be thwarted if Jorbles draws an anti-Grail card (which is why I bring up that you can lose a life as part of progression of evil; also, catapult, but we'll see plenty of those if the Grail quest is finished).

It's been a while, but I believe I came to the Grail quest in order to benefit from the quest's reward. I did not have much to contribute, and that contribution is now spent. If the quest isn't finished before my turn comes around, then I must abandon it, which is painful because I could have been adding more to the dragon quest.

I don't have time right now to go back and review our discussion, but are Tables and Jorbles able to contribute once more to the Grail quest?

Also, I can spare a white card. I'm concerned about Eevee, as he's been dumping his garbage and may only have good cards left.

[Eevee]

I never had any good cards, I can discard something. But then I'm really starting to be cardless. Is it too later for me to move to grail? I could finish it.

[Kuildeous]

If Tables and Jorbles are able to finish it, then it would be too late for you, yes.

If they do not, then you could jump on the Grail bandwagon and partake in the rewards.

[Eevee]

If Tables and Jorbles are able to finish it, then it would be too late for you, yes.

If they do not, then you could jump on the Grail bandwagon and partake in the rewards.

Isnt it beneficial to have as many of us there when it finishes as possible?

[Tables]

I'm going to be moving away as my heroic action.

More to the point, what do we do about this black card?

[Kuildeous]

If Tables and Jorbles are able to finish it, then it would be too late for you, yes.

If they do not, then you could jump on the Grail bandwagon and partake in the rewards.

Isnt it beneficial to have as many of us there when it finishes as possible?

Absolutely, but with my current hand, I can't help out with the Grail, so I must leave that quest. We'd just be swapping one knight with another. And now that I see that Tables must leave, the Grail won't be finished soon. So, yeah, there is likely time enough for you to help out with the quest and reap its rewards. It may just be you and Jorbles (and even he can't stay long, I understand).

As for the current black card, I do not have a problem with discarding a white card to aid the cause.

[Tables]

Can everyone confirm they have a White card they'd be willing to lose?

[Tables]

(And maybe CO it to Qvist just in case I do take the discard option)
