The Boogies decision #55
Poll closes in 24 hours.

I don't know why but I feel as if we've already screwed up... We got distracted by the "Ooh shiny" thing and the Boogie didn't see us, we could've hid in the vent, it could've skittered by and then returned to its position... Now that we've crossed, it has time to catch up to us because we have to hit the panel of the door to open it. Which, unfortunately, takes time...
There's in fact a fatal flaw to the logic of 'return to its position' in this case.
Ugh. Getting some heartburn on this decision. The duct does offer us a possible chance to break LoS and perhaps pull off an end-run around these guys. Very tempting, but giving up our speed and mobility bit us hard already. There are also just too many unknowns with that route. We still don't know what senses the Sentinels can use to track us, we don't know if they can see into the duct (their eyes seem low enough that it is possible), and we don't know if they can attack us inside the duct, even if their body type might suggest that they cannot easily enter. And on top of all that, the duct option seems like it would require a VERY convoluted series of follow-up decisions in order to then get to the door panel, open the door, and somehow escape without getting trapped by either Sentinel that will likely continue to move around the entire time.
What we now know (sort of): 1. We can move 3-6 squares for every 1 the Sentinels move. 2. The Sentinels are at least 4 squares long. Long enough that trying to maneuver around both of them seems insane. 3. We have 2 Sentinel steps remaining before the lead one cuts us off.
These things are longer than a Steel Eel, and here we are without a Splattershot.
I looked it up, I never saw one of these before.
Come on, lets not fail Jingle :)
Better hope what's in that machine is useful at least because the being can see us when we cross the hall meaning it will still be right behind us till we break its LoS
I still think we died because we entered the vent *while* the thing could see us. It might be safe to enter from a hidden side...
...touching a boogie will result in issues. and its heavily likely to look in any open space it can see, and the other one is simply right behind it meaning it will likely come by too. then we'd be stuck from both sides. not a great plan.
Since I legit don’t trust ducts anymore, I say we go for the coin. No coins - no goodies form the vending machine.
I have a feeling that the vending machine might be a 1-up life machine, like the one we got with Cassandra
I think ozone hinted that besides the vent is guaranteed death I feel, there's two of them so they can sit at either end if they wanted to
I am dead-set on that vending machine! Vending machines only have good things, right? ...right?
The question is what are you going to get.
The x-ray view is certainly helpful in judging future actions, especially if we consider the boogiepedes (?) are moving at a consistent pace.
It’s curious the coin and vending machine are being mentioned…
Vent has higher chance of boogying? Good lets go in
Considering that the boogies can morph themselves, we would be trapped in the duct should the figure out that’s where we are.
Go across, the duct can only lead to boogying
Like hell I'm voting to get in another vent
