Casualties came suddenly, with no chance to counter it, Palmer dragged Hart back to the chessboard round table, the temporary safest place in this ghostly place.
With Hart's fall, there was one less player rolling dice each round, reducing the action points, which resulted in the Dawn advancing a shorter distance each turn.
Bologue felt the pressure, in the previous board game, they had fallen under the waves of demon swarms, losing the game during the combat phase, but now a new crisis had emerged. If the attrition continued, the dice points each turn would only get smaller, and the supply point just within reach would become unattainable.
"We need to pick up the pace."
Bologue suggested, "Roll the dice quickly, resolve the events fast!"
By accelerating the game's speed to accelerate the number of turns, Bologue hoped Hart's will was strong enough to minimize the need for more turns.
Palmer looked up and asked, "What do you think Hart's nightmare might be?"
