I think you just have to be adjacent to it. Example: In Room 9 you would need to be in EE37, DD37 or DD38 to open the chest.

The number of of the room doubles as treasure chest.

U need to KO the monsters or chase monsters out of room
before taking the treasure.

In theory U can open the tresure chest even while monsters are there. Put U just cannot pick up the treasure.

Yes U need to be adjacent to it.
And U need to spend actions points to open it.

ALC has yet to finsih his turn 4,
The rest of U have finished theirs and can proceed to turn 5.

Deathblow is in square KK8 not LL7!

Green Lantern Attempts to break away, rolls a 3 and is stuck.

Aquaman attempts to break away, rolls a 5. Yay! moves to MM7.

Deathstroke pushes and moves to II10 (no damage due to Willpower) and Outwits Abomination's Leap/Climb.

Batman Outwits Abomination's Super Strength.

Zatana (JLA free) moves to JJ11.

Everyone else clears

Since there is no counter attack in my empty room, I'll go ahead and seal my doom by playing with a trapped chest.

1. Wolverine disarms trap.

2. Rogue disarms trap.

Xmen disarm AV= 4 (plus roll of 1+6) vs trap DV= 12. Fail. Trap = 5+4+1 = 10- 2 Vet Vampire Lackeys appear.

In the chest-
#11 A broken Fire Lord's Staff (Marvel Good Artifact).
+ 10 to range., +1 defense, Smoke ,

(The staff has smoke not barrier because its broken.)

Addition Ability if used by Firelord.
(There is none, this staff is broken).

+80 Victory points- +40 from item, +40 from open chest

That was interesting.

Is it wrong?

I don't think you get the item yet FirstFed. You have set off the trap and haven't opened the chest. Once you have KO'd the Vampires you can then attempt to open the chest again, and the chest DV is reduced by 2 each time.

Marvel Villians Turn 5

Doctor Octopus rolls a 3 for leadership

Doctor Octopus, Selene & Annihilus use there actions to open the treasure chest and roll an 8 (6 + 2) Chest opened. 40 upgrade & victory points.

Item roll: 13 = Magneto Helmet.
Barrier, Battle Fury, One additional action.

(Yay, what a useless item.)

Room 17 Monsters & Chest cleared.

Actually, I think I am wrong on this. ChoonHui?

But I think I am right in the fact that the item is worth 40 victory points & opening the chest is worth 40 upgrade points. So by opening a chest you get 40 points towards victory & upgrade, not 80.

Whatever.

I'll wait for a ruling.

Maybe I need to see it once before I can do it.

I have updated the latest map in my sig. (Still from turn 3)

JLA Turn..

Abomination vs GL. roll a 6, Hit
GL takes an additional 4 damage making it a total of 5

U get 40 victory points, if U still keep the treasure at the end of the game. Or if U run out of the dungeon with the items.
Clixs that go out of dungeon cannot come back in.

Yes, for opening the chest U get 40 upgrade points.
U do not get victory points for opeining Treasure Chest.

By the way U still need to fight the two vampire lackey to get the broken firelord staff.

Victory point is = No. of clix points your team currently have + (No. of Treasure * 40) + points for Clues solved if any.

----

Good news, since the more useless items are already found the better ones remains.

First Federal
At turn 5 U get 86 upgrade point after KO Plasticman.

At turn 6, U get 86 + 40 (open chest) = 126 upgrade points.
When U upgrade Anget, U get 126-100 = 26 upgrade points.

Hope this clears things a bit.

---------
Victory points can be calculated at the end of the game.
U don't need to be keep track of victory point. Let the DM keep track of them.

U just need to keep track of upgrade points.

Turn 5,
Commentator :
1) JLA forgot to outwit Abomination leap climb. That almost cost JLA Aquaman. Allowing Abomination to base Aquaman.
2) Judges are still stuck in a tunnel. Where 1 figures can hold back an entire team.
3) X-men nearly lost angel, due to bad placing.
4) Doom & Umar....were ferocious. The monster never even got a chance to do anything.
