Witch: Day 19

Day 1  Day 2  Day 3  Day 4  Day 5  Day 6  Day  7
Day 8  Day 9  Day10 Day11 Day12 Day13 Day14
Day15 Day16 Day17 Day18 Day19 Day20 Day21

Today is Day 19, and the Witch will continue with her plans to prepare black mana chits and travel to Deep Woods 3, where five heavy monsters lay in wait.  Today, she will travel two clearings, to Pine Woods 4, and then, in order to prepare her black mana chits, the Witch will record three Enchant phases. 
The first Enchant phase of any day is a "preparatory" phase.  The following Enchant phases of Day 19 will turn the Witch's Magic V chits (circled in red) into black mana.  As you can see, the Witch has two other fatigued chits, a Type II and Type VIII (those chits were used to dispel her broomstick), but she does not need those chits to re-activate the absorb essence spell, so the fatigued chits will have to wait.

Yesterday, the Witch's familiar found a hidden path in Deep Woods 3.  Today the Witch will send her Cat to the Mountain, to see what monsters and hidden paths are to be discovered there.

Witch: Move-Pine Woods 2, Move-Pine Woods 4, Enchant, Enchant, Enchant
Familiar: Move-Deep Woods 2, Move-Mountain 2, Move-Mountain 4, Peer
Today's monster roll is a 1:  Dragons.  We could have used that monster roll tomorrow, as it would have summoned the Tremendous Dragon to Deep Woods 3, worth an additional 33 fame and notoriety, if killed during the same day as the other five heavy monsters! 
Since we are ending our turn in the Pine Woods, the Tremendous Dragon will not appear in the Deep Woods today (unless the Sorceror recorded a move to the Deep Woods, which is unlikely).

The Cat moves three clearings to Mountain 4 and uncovers the Roar 4 and Stink M chits, which summon Giants and Spiders.  The Witch moves twice to Pine Woods 4, and enchants her two Magic V chits, converting them into black mana to power her absorb essence spell.
Meanwhile, the Black Knight continues to loot the Guardhouse, and the Sorceror hides, alerts her shortsword (since no monsters appeared in the Borderland, she alerted her weapon instead of a magic chit) and moves into the caves in the Borderland.

Nope, long out of print. It can still be purchased on the second-hand market.
