Four Against Darkness: The Other Half - Part 2 (Solo Gamebook Playthrough)

[@lergof0202]

Why are weird monsters being counted as minions? Also shouldn’t there have been a roll to see if the Iron Eater was the final boss? Small chance, 1/6, but still a chance right?

I do believe the iron eater should count as a boss, not minion

These videos are great. Thanks for posting these to help us get a better feel for how the game plays. Question about the wandering monster attack at 13:45. Is there a rule that wandering monsters attack random characters? I know they'll attack the rear two in a corridor. In a normal encounter, it was my understanding that you can choose who doesn't get attacked when there are fewer monsters than heroes. Is it different for wandering monsters? Is it a difference between minions/vermin and bosses/weird monsters with multiple attacks? Or is it just your preference to roll to determine the victim?

It does not seem that there is a rule that wandering monsters attack random characters. Bosses with multiple attacks are treated the same as that number of minions attacking. Page 41 states: "Wandering monsters always sneak on you, so they attack first, beginning with the characters at the rear of your marching order. After one turn, if you are in a room, the party will spread out and protect its weaker members, so you may distribute the wandering monsters’ attacks like you would in a normal combat." For bosses/weird monsters with multiple attacks, I found on boardgamegeek.com/thread/1922038/boss-fights-assigning-attacks this by Victor J.: "You would treat a boss with multiple attacks the same as multiple monsters" According to these rules, Gray Board Gamer should have split the two attacks between the two characters, rather than rolling to see which attacks when where. This is a good question that got me to look up the answer in the rule book and online.

The Battle Cry of all HALFlings is “NO QUARTER given!” ✊😠

I think you're allowed to cast spells and use bows from the back when in carridors. So the cleric could have used his cure

[@GrayBoardGamer]

I think I do cast spells from "the rear" later in the series. Thanks for the reminder :-)
