Ah, I got it. Your dowsing rod.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Turn 6 >>Next Turn

Stumbles around jumps to B3, digging up a "1". Suddenly, bony hands grab his legs, and he cannot move away! Three skeletons crawl out of the grave. They are not looking friendly at all. +1XP
Goska steps down to K6, promptly revealing a "2". She then turns around with her stick, which points straight towards west. Interesting. +1XP
White Metal flags H8.
Blitz Craig flags F5.
Questions Everything steps down to G8, finding a "2", and getting her tokens. She tries to cast the skill on Flags, but it seems to do nothing. Ah well. +1XP
Flags Mines eagerly makes space for Schnitzel, by moving to C7. He does not start digging, though.
Schnitzel majestically moves over to D7.
Oh See That Shiny closes onto C3, uncovering a "2". +1XP
Explore-Randomly heads down to H10, exploring a "1". +1XP (+1bonus)
Tries-and-Dies flags H4.
Flags Fuses removes his flag from E3 and steps over there. He waits. Then waits some more. Then he realizes has forgotten to declare digging, too.

Dies is busy in real life.

[kida]

White metal runs G7->F7->E7

[BadgeAddict]

Schtnizel moves to E7 in pursuit of his lofty goal, sneers at the grave marker and then attempts to kick it over.

[gamecreator]

Tries jumps to G5.

[Jibjib]

Craig reconsiders and removes the flag he just placed.

[Davecom3]

Goska moves to L6. She attempts to rescue White Metal after the confusing incident with her Y-stick.

[GathersIngredients]

Stumbles calls for aid (multiple times, if multiple heroes want to come) and smacks the lower right skeleton with his sword. If he can move, also, he'll move to B4.

[WearsHats]

Forgot about digging. Good thing, too.

I will Answer The Call, appearing on A4. I will then try to push/pull one of the skeletons onto B4.

[GathersIngredients]

► Show Spoiler

Psst, I don't think you'll be able to push them without the appropriate (evil) skill, Wears, but you could try attacking it. Usually killing monsters earns XP, too.
In any case, thanks for coming to help Stumbles.

[WearsHats]

Yeah, I figured I could try. The evil skill mainly applied to attacking players. I don't recall if it worked differently on monsters, but we're operating under a different rule set anyway now. At the least, I should keep it occupied. Worth a shot, especially since I don't have a weapon.

[Lee]

Questions flags F8

[Theis2]

Shiny will stab ALL (or just one) the skeletons! (And maybe shout/punish one of them too..)

[LooksAndSmiles]

Every offensive skill works on monsters/enemies by default. The peculiarity of evil skills is that they work on players too.

I think this is the proper wording to describe the abilities well. (This was the case in older games too, and I didn't change afair.)

[I'mBob]

Move to G10.

[Nerre]

Flags digs in his field.

[gamecreator]

You still can move or place a flag, for example. Digging is a free action.

[Nerre]

Thanks. Then I will put the flag on E4 instead. (Flagging before the digging, just in case skeletons appear).

[DiesasaYoungling]

Dies moves to B6

[Nerre]

Anybody wants to join my Minesweeper game? Still looking for 2-3 more players.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Turn 7 >>Next Turn

White Metal starts to run, but explodes on F7! Luckily Goska is there to save him, who also took the time to explore L6, which is a "1". +1XP, +2XP, repsectively
Schnitzel continues to E7, where he kicks the marker. One hurting foot later he concludes that might not have looked that aristocratic.
Tries-and-Dies jumps to G5, revealing a "3". +1XP
Blitz Craig removes his last placed flag. I forgot to repeat that removing a flag is a free action, so he might have wanted to step there. Well, maybe next turn.
Questions Everything flags F8.
Explore-Randomly moves to G10 and explodes! Unfortunately, everyone is too busy to save him...
Dies moves to B6, uncovering a "3". +1XP (+1bonus)
Flags Fuses flags E4, and also digs up E3, unearthing a "4". +1XP

The three skeletons attack, but only manage to deal 2 damage on Stumbles thanks to his jacket. Stumbles around and Oh See That Shiny attack the bottom right skeleton, annihilating it with their swords, both of them gaining 1XP.

Flags Mines answers the call and rushes to A4. Then he tries to move a skeleton away, but he doesn't have the physical prowess or the appropriate skill to pull that off... (badum-tss)

[BadgeAddict]

Schtnizel ignores his wounded foot and steps kingly into E6.

[gamecreator]

Tries goes to G4.

[kida]

Why didn't I get a warning from my token?

White metal joins the fight,:
Equiping 2xrun and power tokens
Spawning on B2 and attacking the upper skeleton with the sword

[LooksAndSmiles]

Why didn't I get a warning from my token?

In its basic form, it combines only with the standard stepping/spawning action, and using a running skill is not that one. Sorry, the skill's description is not making this obvious!
