Jaxarle’s villian AI is very interesting. It says:
“If Jaxarle is adjacent to a hero, he attacks that Hero with a duelling rapier”.
“If Jaxarle is not on a tile with a Monster, he calls a mercenary. Place a new monster on his tile.”
“Otherwise, Jaxarle moves 1 tile towards the closest Hero”.
So this can be read 3 ways?
1. Jaxarle is next to a Hero. He fights. And if he’s fighting alone, he calls for help (ie. place a new Monster on his tile).
2. Jaxarle is all alone on a tile. No hero, no monster. He calls for help (ie. place a new Monster on his tile). Then he moves 1 tile closer to the nearest Hero?
3. Jaxarle only calls for help if he’s fighting a Hero all alone on the tile. If there’s no Hero, he doesn’t call for help.
It’s the “otherwise” that confuses me.
If #2 is also true, Jaxarle can be monstrously overpowered as hs can also move to an adjacent tile after he scores a hit (2 damage!!!) and THEN if there’s no monster on that new tile he moves to, he calls for help and a new monster appears.
That means if the Heroes don’t manage to kill Jaxarle quickly, I can run through my entire deck of monster cards an a couple of turns.
Or am I missing something?
