Time to start hoping nobody manages to hit 8 during the turn, I guess! You could still theoretically win with the 2 temple VP at the end of the turn, if so. But that’s kiiind of a long shot…
3rd action: double silver token on Move + purchase black tile
Purchase male mercenaries black tile for 0PP (priestess discount). Place them in my city troop (extra on empty space)
Move priest to 1st bottom location. +1 PP and +1 damage for upcoming battle
Move troop in Lantz’s city to his troop.
3->4 PP
I really would have loved to move leave a unit behind to retain control of the pyramid VP but I don’t think I can afford the -1 strength.
It’s my 7 strength vs his 5?
The token for the +1 damage on the Ta-Seti Path got picked up by @Greatatlantic on his last action. Does this token automatically refresh or does it only refresh during Night Phase…I was actually wondering about?
…and I answered my own question by finding the Ta-Seti rules pdf. Seems you pick up and use that temp token and then replace it when done back on the Path
There was a mercenary tile left? I thought both were bought up early. Maybe a symptom of that early round confusion. It is not like I have the pyramid to buy it, but I do like to keep track of the game.
PS) Is it “double silver token” or regular action + silver token action? Because a player cannot have more than 1 silver token.
Nope, only one of any of the two-of tiles have ever been purchased up to this point. And then I strongly suspect Infested_terran specifically switched to the black pyramid to stop Lantz from buying it.

(Deep Desert Snake cancels the Scorpion) Wadjet wins! Bastet gets 1 Dawn token

Bastet deals 1 for card, 1 for Path token vs 0 prot = 2 damage
Wadjet deals 0 = 0 damage (again, the snake cancels the scorpion) Wadjet loses two units to damage, sacrifices two, has one unit remaining + Scorpion
Retreat/recall: @Infested_terran, would you like to retreat or recall? @Lantz, would you like to recall?
