Aeon Trespass Odyssey

In this session I gained a doom token, triggering progression to the final doom card and progressing the bad side of the main story.

Midas (yes, the Midas who’s touch turns everything to gold) came and offered me a deal whereby he’d use his money to solve all our problems (ending cycle 4 and unlocking cycle 5). I was actually tempted, as it would allow me to start cycle 5 next week and I’d stand a chance of finishing both cycles in 2026. But the completionist in me didn’t like it, and I don’t trust the game designers. I suspect if I took this option I’d be allowed to start cycle 5, but with the rest of my game resetting or some other penalty.

Anyway, I turned Midas down and he turned out to be a fraud. The Babelian Lunacy attacked again, killing Midas and taking me into a repeat of last week’s battle. I decided to take what I’ve learned from last week and try my best to win it without killing the primordial.

I was very careful to only attack from outside just enough to fully open up the eternal staircase and the vantage points. When a level three body point came up, I ensured the titans in the staircase attacked it. That meant I wouldn’t inflict a wound but could still progress up the staircase. All was going well – I’d got one titan on to a vantage point but hadn’t got a second even at the start of the staircase yet. Then I got really lucky. A critical hit allowed me to teleport the second titan on to a vantage point immediately. Then the third primordial attack targeted both titan’s on the vantage points. It did a lot of damage, but both survived and got a free bonus attack (see photo). These bonus attacks allowed me to get my two wounds from a vantage point and thus win the scenario.
