A hard problem --

this is a tough decision --
I could

  • take out the p20, using my X and 8 more [p6, g8 and 12-sided, probably]
  • take out the X18, using everything but my X [no way to work it in]
  • take out the 20-sider with value 13, probably rerolling the g8, 8 and 12 sided dice... but my X would be vulnerable to attack, allowing him to reroll the only 20 sided die with a low value
  • take out the 20-sider with value 13 using the X and probably BOTH the p6 and g8
  • something else?
I nearly did the first one (take the p20) without thinking, hoping for that slim chance of getting my X20 to a save value -- but I *think* -- though I'm not sure -- one of the other options is at least a little better. What do you think?

And, after I lost this round, I reset my swing die to ...
