Event Card - Dark Wave IV
The 4 Zombies Swarm the Player Unit Stack.
The target of this card is Cavern. So select from any discovered cavern.
Nothing happens in this Phase.
The Game Engine goes first.
The 1 remaining Spider is already committed. Because it has Spread, it will always stay on a Player Unit.
The 4 Zombies are already attacking the Player Unit Stack in Player Base I.
So the Game Engine has nothing to do.
Three Units use their Actions to Remove Gems.
The Player now makes all his moves.
1: Yellow Commander (YC-2) Clears Web
Round 2
Yellow Commander (YC-1) Clears Web
Round 3
Yellow Unit (YU-4) Clears Web
The Battle Result is good enough to kill the Spider and not lose any Units. So the Units in Sewers will do nothing.
The Battle can be resolved immediately and the Spider is killed.
2: Spider (SPIDER-1) Dies

Fighting Zombies
The Zombies are already on the Unit Camp Position on the Player Units. They have the Swarm ability which Freezes their total Strength of Player Units.
4 Zombies have a Strength of 2, so they Freeze 8 Points or 2 Player Units.
Player Units can not be partially frozen.
Round 5
The remaining uncommitted Player Units are no longer Frozen, and join the Battle.
1: Move Yellow Unit (YU-2) to Cavern Center (CC-2).
Round 6
The 2x Bonus gives the Player Units a greater advantage by improving the difference.
2: Move Yellow Unit (YU-3) to Cavern Center (CC-2).
The Player casts a First Strike against one of the Zombies from any of his Pieces.
3: Blue Gem (B_GEM-6) Used

All of the Zombies will now be killed with the 6 points of damage. So the Actions End and the Player Base Battle is Resolved.
Zombie (ZOMBIE-14) Dies
Zombie (ZOMBIE-15) Dies
4: Zombie (ZOMBIE-16) Dies
The Player Units take 2 points of damage, which is not enough to kill one.

This is one of the Psionic Toad's Action/Reaction Cards. Click below to see all three.
The Psionic Toad
The Psionic Toad is an Ally of the dwarves, and the Player has some control over what it does. It can be used during any Action and may be used first, even before the Game Engine takes an action.
In this case, the Player decides now is the time.
The strength of a Boss is measured in how many cards they have in Play (both face down and face up). The number of dots on the back of the Boss card has a circle for each still in Play. If the circle is Green, the card has yet to be played. Once the last Card has been flipped, the deck is reshuffled and placed face down.
Important Card Sections

Reaction Text
When the Boss takes damage, flip the next card an apply the Reactions described here.
OK, The Cavern Wanderings is a pretty nasty place. And there is no way past it.
These can be dealt with, but there are 12 of them, still a lot of fighting.
The real problem is the Ball Lightnings. Once they activate they will move down toward the Player Base zapping eveything in their path.
The first Player interference in the Cavern will awaken them.
The Altar of Light and Darkness
To make matters worse, they are sitting on an Altar of Light and Darkness. As long as it is there, every Ball Lightning destroyed will reappear and attack again.
So that thing will have to go.

Round 7
The Psionic Toad Builds an Altar.
This is done instead of flipping an Action Reaction Card.
The Player decides to leave the Psionic Toad in the Cavern for now.
This counts as a Player Action.
Altars speed the healing of Bosses. And the Psionic Toad will take damage. And soon.
1: Move Psionic Toad to Cavern Center (CC-2).
2: Place Altar on Cavern Center (CC-2).
