The Wizards Visit Alladore

I needed a break from painting miniatures today, so, based on a discussion on the Facebook group for Rangers of Shadow Deep, I decided to run a Frostgrave Wizard through the first Rangers scenario.

I chose an Elementalist warband consisting of Wizard, Apprentice, Templar, a Rangers and an Archer (as well as a summoned animal) - so 550gc (went a bit high because I liked the minis, and what the heck).

I Played in Challenge Mode, and replaced skill checks with either Fight or Will rolls vs a difficulty of 4 higher than listed to try to stay more true to how FrostGrave works.

It wasn't a cakewalk. Apprentice, ranger and archer went down; Wizard, other ranger and templar survived (as did the summoned animal). We just got the last clue in Round 7 (which is when the Apprentice dropped) - many flubbed spells. Had I not gone with the extra 50gc, it might have been a different story.

But, we found Aventine, identified his sword, found & figured out the strange tracks. So, while I've already done some FrostGrave scenarios using Rangers of Shadow Deep rules, the opposite also works.

We're Here.... What's going on?


Oh. That's going on...


Suprise?


Endgame - Ranger and Wizard


Endgame - Templar


Poor Apprentice. Didn't even name you.



Other Ranger and Archer didn't have a good day.

Campaign Turn 13 - Hesione - Nervous Tapping of Fingers

Image
 After a long hiatus, I am back (hopefully).  Documenting the last turn I played before shutting down for a while. Celebrations over, the crew of the Renegade Pigeon prepared to finally discover the mystery they had been tracking down since they first banded together.  The two artifacts that they had - one given to Kazi by her mother, and one in the possession of the alien treasure-hunter, Vonthos, led to Hesione. There were many challenges along the way.  And today was no different. "She went where?" Jaxx asked.  "Out to explore", Selene responded.  "She and Miak went out together." "Hey boss - don't look at me like that" Miak responded.  "She has a mind of her own, you know." Jaxx sighed.  They had made sure their many rivals were distracted, but Hesione was getting too hot.  "Boss - while we're waiting for Kazi, I got us a job.  Simple in-and-out, taking out some mercs who captured a corporate outpost.  Good pay." &

Bug Hunt - Kethira Station, Actogor System

Image
I didn't want to 3d print 20 or so "Slithering Horrors", so I decided to try this turn in Roll 20.  Created some quick macros to help, uploaded some tokens, and went at it.  Based on the results, I should have stuck with dice and minis.... "Ok, Team - Listen Up", Dude said, her voice shaky, "We have our next mission.  Kethira station in the Actogor system has been infested by some kind of alien goop-creatures.  We go in, burn them, get out." "Dude, calm down.  I know Gunny left, but it's just us." Kevin said. "Quiet down, Kevin.  Here's the layout of the station.  We hit these three spots, kill as many things as we can, and call for evac.  We're bringing my incinerator, Flamey, and grenades.  Now suit up, and move out." The team moved in, securing  the entrance.  Blips all over.  The team advanced, getting through the main doorway, burning and shooting their way through many of the Slithering Horrors.  Dude and Vile stay

Campaign Turn 11 - Shan-2 - Keast Makes His Play

Image
The crew was sitting in the food court area of the smallest, filthiest, quietest area of the tertiary spaceport on Shan-2, an iceball world in the Actogar system.  Low population of mining folk; good place to hide out for a bit. As they were finishing their meal at the Astro Burner Taqueria, Selene, always watchful, noticed something.  A group of Unity Grunts were talking to a well-dressed (and quite out of place) person, just at the edge of vision.  Jaxx tuned his communicator to the "bionic ear" setting, and listened. "Yes, Sergeant, I am sure these are the miscreants that opened up Native City WY445902 whatsit on Hesione.  These anarchists cost you good men." "We don't have warrants or any evidence." "All taken care of, Sergeant."  The well-dressed man slipped the Sergeant a thick packet - the sort used to hold Creds.   "I guess this is authorization enough.  Ok, men - these anarchists caused a number of our brothers and sisters their
