Psssst........Dawn isn't in this game.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
-Robert E. Howard, "The Tower of the Elephant"
I think you just spoiled the surprise. Pretty sure this was the halloween episode where all the villains dressed as other villains to try and get into the FF's HQ
Stop lurking, it makes you look like a villain target
When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all
I think the best bet is probably for Ra to take the pin, but I'm willing to discuss. Ra can heal, Ra isn't about to punch himself in the face, and we'll have more time to destroy the pin before his turn.
I'm amused by the notion of Gloomweaver wandering around the graveyard, looking for the body that looks most like Dawn so he can play dress up.
And what villain (other than Aminia) is actually likely to be let into FF HQ?
Guise?
“You gotta have blue hair."
-Reckless
I vote Ra too, KNYFE will burn herself down enough without outside help
Ra makes more sense. However, I won't be much help for removing it this turn.
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
I'll take it. I'm Ra, I can tank like THE GOD OF THE SUN!
Time for KNYFE to do some slicing and dicing.

I hope everyone is okay with Fire damage, because (stuff) is about to get real. Real uncomfortably warm that is.
Ra doesn't need to hit the Pouch - Naturalist ate it.
All fire damage might make some of KNYFE's stuff not so useful (or substantially more painful) down the line, but it's probably better for the group so I'd say go for it.
Fixed.

Pouch of Bones got broken, and I get to look at the bottom card of Gloomy's deck.
“You gotta have blue hair."
-Reckless
Ah, no HP regen! Thankee!
I can start tanking this round if we want to protect Parse a bit. Alternately, I can take out both the Pin and the Zombie
Crimson Pin is second lowest HP on the environment turn after the Zombie so Parse shouldn't get hit by that piece
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and laminate their women! - Guise, Prime Wardens #31
You are correct, sir! Adjusting Parse and Pin's HP now...
Also, Bottom card of Gloomweaver's deck is a Sable Pin.
Sable Pin is not a friendly card, but there are worse about... Thoughts, guys?
“You gotta have blue hair."
-Reckless
Sable pin would probably go next to Omni-X, which would give us 4 turns to kill it before it does anything. It could be a lot worse; I would put it on top.
