Yes, I'd say don't sacrifice life. Also put that on the Saxons, I think - too dangerous to put on the picts.

I could also go to finish picts (get the life back with my extra ability, then I could also play this there). Is the dragon more important?

No I need the life from the Picts and I can finish it on my next turn. Go to the dragon and place it on the picts

I'd prefer if mail-mi beat the Picts as it will give me a the time to lend a form of unusual aid to his quest.

Why'd you put the card on Picts? That's incredibly dangerous. Now we probably can't draw black cards until Mail-mi's turn.

I'd accuse you, but I have more important actions and not enough life to sacrifice. Kuildeous can do it though.

Lancelot/Dragon face down. The Dragon doesn't look like too much of a threat.

Who played the first Dragon card?

Eevee's move raised my eyebrows to, but I can see why he did it. I agree with Tables assessment of risk her, but I'm actually a little more suspicious of Tables for trying to get players to accuse each other over something like this. I'm not willing to accuse him over it, but that's my take on this.

Honestly, I've been suspicious of Eevee for a little while, although with the game playing in slow motion, it's hard to remember exactly why. I just know there's been one or two other things that have left me watching him. That said I did miss Mail-Mi's post, so... I dunno. Possibly two loyal players overlooking an issue and making a blunder. Jorbles and Kuildeous now can't risk drawing a black card, which is a bad position, but I guess it's not too terrible.
 
Play 3 fight

Not the most effective techniques I know, but this ensures nobody can mess up the fight by say throwing a 1 down.

Actually now I look, Jorbles should probably siege engine, while Kuildeous can take a life point, which actually means placing on picts doesn't do as much damage as I thought it might.

So 3 cards out of... however many are in the black deck left as possible picts (about 40-50?). Almost certainly not worth chancing.

Well I'm not going to take a hit and die, but do people think it's worth the risk to take a black card? Once for me and once for mail-mi (let's assume Kuildeous will lose a life point). If I take a Siege Engine and mail-mi takes a Siege Engine it's like we lost the quest, but still got the reward. We're in a bad position, but gambling here might keep us in a better position later in the game.

It's not just Siege Engines from failing, Jorbles. There's also damage (1 life point to Mail-mi), plus a black sword, and possible other effects if I've predicted what you said you wanted to do right.

Assuming you two take cards and Kuildeous loses life: I make it about a 13.3% chance we draw a Pict, and if we do, we're in a terrible position. I don't think it's worth the risk. This is excluding any other nasty special blacks as well.
