Today, as its a Bank Holiday in most of the UK for Easter, I either wanted to paint figures or try out my modifications to the Fantasy rules I have been writing.
Game wins!
I decided to re-do the last scenario with the same forces but a slightly changed 'dungeon'... so easy to do with my Warlock tiles!
Conan had long since given up worrying over his beloved Valeria, as she recovered from the injuries she had suffered in the last attempt to rescue Princess Rhealta from the Temple of Set.
Word had it that the Princess had been taken south to Shem by the followers of Set...and no doubt felt safer there. Conan, as a Barbarian, was untroubled by the many tales he had heard of that land, his sword had dealt with worse!
When Valeria was well, Subotai and Conan headed south to complete their task.
The Shemitic Temple of Set
Conan, Subotai and Veleria crept towards the silent gate of the temple.
Conan pushed the doors inwards...
...No guards.
Conan, as silently as a Panther might, entered the hall.
He signalled to Valeria that all was clear.
His entrance dislodged a Portal marker watching the door, which moved back.
Conan moved forward cautiously, not giving himself away in the semi dark.
Subotai covered the flank as he and Valeria moved quickly but silently through the hall.
The Portal marker returned to its first position as Subutai had got within 5" of it.
Conan moved to a doorway on his left.
Slipping through it they entered another room with a subterranean well.
That Portal Marker moved ahead of the Adventurers.
Conan led as they went through the door on the far side of the well room, still no guards had appeared.
The Portal marker fell back again, to join another in the Great Hall.
Conan peered quickly into the Hall, still no alarm had been sounded.
They moved past several strange statues.
The Portal markers went further back in the hall.
As a new turn started, these became active!
I threw a 5, which meant...
2 Guards came out of the corner room.
Seeing the Intruders, they stopped, fingering their weapons.
Conan and Valeria moved towards them while Subotai stretched his bow...the guard parried the arrow with his shield.
New turn, Another 5!
4 more Guards joined the first two!
Subotai pulled his bow again...
Even though he only beat the Guard by 1, his weapon skill killed his target!
One of the Guards fell back...
The new four advanced!
Conan and Valeria didn't wait to be encircled, but attacked.
Subotai slung his bow and drew his own sword.
The first attack only saw one Guard wounded by Valeria, Conan's opponent dodged back!
More Guards appeared!
Conan killed one, Valeria took both of her opponents down!
Even more Guards came from the back gate.
Subotai charged in, but it was beginning to look like numbers would overwhelm them.
Subotai and Conan killed their opponents, Valeria, fighting several, only forced her frontal opponent to recoil.
Two more Guards moved in to join the party!
Valeria withdrew between 2 statues, to avoid being surrounded, Conan took on two!
Conan's swordplay was too much for his opponents, Valeria was slashing at any Guard that came close, Subotai had to avoid a spear thrust.
Valeria had most of the Guards occupied, so Conan was in a good position to help Subotai.
'Crom! -MORE reinforcements!'
Conan moved to crush the newcomers, Subotai and Valeria were also fighting heavy odds.
Conan's move dislodged the Portal Markers from the gate back to an unexplored storeroom.
Valeria was getting outflanked!
She drove her frontal attacker back and turned to face her rear, Conan killed his two with ease! - Subotai wounded his.
Conan ran to help Subotai, Valeria was fighting like a wildcat!
Conan asked Valeria if she needed any help, she gave him a look which would curdle milk!
That storeroom produced four more Guards!
Conan let Subotai help Valeria.
Valeria ended up helping Subotai!
At this point, the arrival die was a '1', which meant no more reinforcements this turn!
Conan took 2 on while Valeria and Subotai only had to deal with one each, this was the way Conan liked it!
The Portal Markers had fallen back again as Valeria got too close.
Valeria easily disposed of her man, and Conan had his blood up!
Two new guards came from the rear...
Valeria went to deal with them, and Subotai fought the last of the other group, Conan took the opportunity to look in the corner room.
As the door opened he saw the Princess, a Fakir with a snake, and a blind woman. Conan stepped through the door.
Valeria an Subotai were keeping the Guards off his neck.
The old woman waved a hand and Conan was driven back through the door!
'Crom, she's a witch!'
Subotai had killed his enemy, so Conan called him over.
Readying his sword, he started a charge into the room again...
Valeria finished off the Guardsmen, and wiped her blade.
Conan was again thrown back like a rag doll 'Now' he shouted
Subotai's arrow was true, the witch no more!
The Fakir gathered his snake and moved its head towards the princess, who screamed!
Conan charged, I got a 6 for charge distance
Just enough!
Conan's sword cut both snake and Fakir down (Had the Fakir won, Conan would have been bitten by the snake!)
Valeria had their backs, just as well, as two more guards attacked.
Subotai shut and locked the back doors, while Conan smashed the chain holding the Princess!
Valeria was enjoying herself!
Not so the Guards!
Conan emerged with the Princess "Lets get out of here!"
The last Guard fell back from Valeria's blade.
Conan: "Go ahead, I will bring the Princess!"
Valeria approached the guard, covered by Subotai.
He fell back through the doorway.
Valeria looked past the man, he seemed to be alone.
The Guard charged as Valeria came to the door.
His courage didn't save him!
The Portal Markers had been driven further back.
Conan again led the way, passing the Princess to Valeria.
He moved down the hallway, covered by Subotai.
We were lucky, a '2' wasn't enough to get any more Guardsmen.
Conan advanced to dislodge the Markers.
They went into the Gateroom.
Subotai went round the flank.
The Portal Markers were corralled into a small space.
Conan and Subotai advanced together.
The way was clear!
Conan opened the doors.
The Princess was on her way home to her father!
Well, that seemed to work ok, (We were lucky not to get overwhelmed a couple of times - thanks to a couple of '1's on the Arrivals dice which is an automatic no arrivals)....That was fun!
