[Farren]

This is a toughie. Currently 13/2/1. Black chips will not be paying off this round.

1/3 chance of exploding and ending on 15/0/0.
1/3 chance of making my next draw danger-free (losing the Ruby, but maybe getting it back on the next draw?). And if it's the Yellow, insert *ch-ching!* sounds here.
1/3 chance of +1 buy/+1 VP, with the Ruby sticking around courtesy of a Green 1.

I think this time the potential gain is worth the risk of loss.

Farren draws a

2/5 chance of exploding - but if I do, I get two Rubies.
1/5 chance of not exploding and getting two Rubies.
2/5 chance of not exploding but only getting one Ruby, with one of those two being the blue and thus a safe shot at another Ruby.

All of those put me at 15 buys instead of 14.

Is a good shot at a second Ruby and one extra Buy worth a 40% chance of losing 3 VP?

Yes, I think it is.

Nice

[inspiratieloos]

• If a player's potion is full and their cauldron has not exploded, they can use their potion to remove the last chip they drew from their cauldron and put it back into their bag

Unfortunately, your cauldron has already exploded, and you can't use your potion.

Eh, would have drawn anyway.

[Snakes]

Felissan draws a

Bomb 2

and her cauldron explodes.

Thanks for the speedy round, everyone. It is now the Evaluations Phase. I'm giving you all five days to do your turns, but since I'm assuming Nancy Drew is no longer on V/LA, we will be going back to 24 hour turns during the potions phase and 72 hour turns during the evaluations phase. Nancy, if you're still on V/LA, let me know.

Farren, Nancy Drew and Inspiratieloos all drew 2 Black 1s. Unfortunately for Farren, he's sandwiched between them and doesn't get anything. Nancy Drew and Inspiratieloos both

move their start token forward 1 space

.

The last two chips Farren drew were both green, so he receives

2 rubies

.

Felissan landed in a ruby position, so she gets

1 ruby

.

Nancy Drew and Farren both earn

3 victory points

and get

15 buys

. Felissan can choose to get either

15 buys

or

3 victory points

. Inspiratieloos can choose to get either

16 buys

or

4 victorry points

.

Farren and Nancy Drew, since you tied for the most progress without exploding, you both will get to roll the bonus die (1d6).
