Properly that is it.. After a bit over half a yr of just about weekly video games (28 video games over 31 weeks – we missed a number of weeks right here and there, however had performed some extras over the holidaze!), the Heroes have been able to make their first try to tackle The Wolfking, himself, Tyrant of Ulfenkarn…
Finnegan was enjoying Brutogg Corpse-Eater and Octren Glimscry. Amanda performed Qulathis the Exile and Glaurio ven Alten III. (And, as ever, I used to be the Recreation Grasp, controlling all of the hostiles and holding the sport transferring!)
Within the Earlier Journey, the Extraction Occasion had indicated that The Wolfking had caught their scent and was monitoring them and thus would exchange no matter was the second hostile on the initiative observe firstly of the subsequent recreation… So Radukar was there ready for them once they arrived to take him out!
Then I drew the Vargskyr for the FIRST house on the initiative observe! Yikes!
Octren Glimscry was the primary to go and stepped out and Cursed the Vargskyr – his new Stage 4 means – as soon as per activate his activation, he can curse one hostile nearby… then he didn’t deal any injury together with his remaining assaults…
So Glaurio needed to come out and assist… however even he couldn’t end off the Vargskyr!?
Qulathis did, although…
and even had an activation left to take a shot at Radukar!
Brutogg then charged in and completed off Radukar!
On the subsequent flip, Octren moved ahead and opened the subsequent door… and located some Vyrkos Blood-Born vampires lurking behind it!
He cursed he first one he encounter after which attacked it.
Glaurio completed the primary one off with a shot after which charged in to complete off the second! Growth TWO inspriations factors, identical to that!
Brutogg pushed by and began smashing skeletons aside…
Past that was…. RADUKAR AGAIN!?!?
and one other patrol of the Ulfenwatch and a few Deadwalker Zombies!
Between Glaurio and Qulathis, he was taken down by shot and arrow!?
After which Brutogg started working smashing up extra skeletons!
after which sort of acquired swarmed by them… and the zombies…
It LOOKED sort of dangerous, however none of them appeared to have the ability to land blows on the hulking brute!
So glad he was on their aspect!
The others joined in and helped the ogor filter out the zombies and skeletons…
and moved on..
Subsequent they encountered MORE Zombies and a few Corpse Rats and Bats!
Which they labored via with relative ease…
Brutogg had a bit snack alongside the way in which – to maintain his vitality ranges up…
After which they ran right into a pair of Kosargi Nightguard…
Brutogg began in on them…
He was joined by Octren, who cursed one among them.. after which used his Tomes of Loss of life means to make the Kosargi Nightguard ATTACK EACH OTHER. (He instructed the one which that different had stated one thing terribly impolite about his mom… so the one struck the opposite, and the opposite retaliated… dealing some fairly severe injury to one another!)
Glaurio stepped up and shot one within the face, ending it off… The Qulathis caught up and completed off the second!
There have been a number of Zombies to clear away…
And everybody made it to the key entry to the Ebon Citadel the place they’d confront Radukar the Wolf for one final time (possibly?) in his throne room!
We had initially deliberate to name it quits right here and play the second half on Wednesday (our common evening for Warhammer Quest!)… however the first half went shortly sufficient, it was determined to forge forward with the second half this night – the raid on Radukar’s interior sanctum to destroy his Gravesand Phylacteries and destroy HIM as soon as and for all!
All arrange for the second half.
There was a bit of dialogue of technique…
Radukar does not even present up on the board till the primary Phylactery is destroyed!
The Kosargi Nightguard don’t activate till they’ve taken injury or begin an activation with a Hero seen to them (although there are occasions that may trigger them to maneuver earlier than that!).
The opposite Hostiles current have been a trio of Vyrkos Blood-Born vampires.
All three of those teams – Radukar, the Kosargi Nightguard, and the Vyrkos Blood-Born – all get SUPER lethal after darkish… and by the point the Heroes had arrived, it was effectively after darkish.
As with the opposite Decapitation Journeys, any hostiles that aren’t on the board when their group prompts are rolled for and probably come again. (Additionally Radukar has activations that summon Vyrkos onto the desk and/or give them additional actions…)
The Kosargi have been the primary on the initiative observe, however as they weren’t injured and had no Heroes in sight, remained on guard at their respective Gravesand Phylacteries.
Glaurio was the subsequent to go, and sort of wasted actions transferring out to the place he might see the Vyrkos taking a number of pictures, most of which missed, after which spent actions transferring again into the beginning space… If he’d simply held his actions he would have had MORE actions to shoot at or stab as they moved in and attacked… alas…
When the Vyrkos went they charged and trapped everybody within the entrance… at the very least right here they may solely assault with two of their quantity. Nonetheless they grievously wounded Glaurio, dealing 4 injury! (even after he re-rolled his defence…)
Brutogg went and completed off the vampire Glaurio had wounded and beat down the opposite one which had so gravely injured Glaurio…
Then Qulathis moved out and injured the third vampire. She is not-so-great when not impressed… however holy heck does she get NASTY as soon as her card flips to the Impressed aspect!
Octern moved out of the entry space and helped end off that third vampire…
The spherical finish occasion had one of many Kosargi Nightguard transfer from his submit – he in all probability heard the commotion out within the corridor and went to research. His transfer acquired him to the door, the place he’d have the ability to see Qulathis and Octren, in order that one can be activating when their subsequent card got here up!
And transfer it did! Critically injuring Qulathis! (4 injury, I believe!?)
Glaurio took a number of pictures injuring the undead Ogor. The Octren cursed the Nightguard and completed off the lumbering brute!
He had sufficient activations left to maneuver in and assault the opposite Kosargi Nightguard… however missed… and successfully blocked Brutogg from attending to it in a single motion..
Qulathis went final and used her two activations to maneuver into the room vacated by the Kosarge Nightguard, and smashed the primary Gravesand Phylactery! I believe at this level she chugged her Potion of Coagulated Vitality and eliminated all the injuries – so she might have all her activations subsequent flip… or.. have the ability to take some injury and never die! Glaurio had achieved the identical on his flip (it was VERY fortunate that they’d each had Potions of Coagulated Vitality and had been capable of save them for this Journey!)
In THIS ultimate Decapitation Journey, not solely do the heroes should do a 4+ motion to destroy the Phylactery, additionally they should roll successful on a d12! (Which Amanda did, so it was high quality!)
Radukar felt the shift in his blackened soul and got here working…
Initially Qulathis was within the second final place on the Initiative Monitor and Radukar was going first… So Amanda tried a gambit… and succeeded – placing Qulathis in first and Radukar in second final… ALL the heroes it turned out can be going earlier than all of the hostiles!
So Qulathis ran away! She stopped on the door to take a shot at Radukar, injuring him barely…
However then dashed into his Throne Room and smashed ANOTHER of his Gravesand Phylacteries!!
Glaurio stepped to the door and shot Radukar 3 times – wounds which might have killed him… as a substitute the THIRD Phylactery shattered within the room with Brutogg and Octren!
Brutogg completed off the second Kosargi Nightguard…
after which moved to dam The Wolf from getting at his little pals.
Octren went subsequent and there was a little bit of a debate about what he ought to do. Finnegan had initially needed to go to the door and curse Radukar (as that might imply anybody attacking would do extra injury…) however it was identified that if he used all his activations he had simply sufficient to run into the Throne Room and smash the final Phylactery!
And he did so…
Radkar stepped in and attacked Brutogg twice. For the primary assault, Brutogg was capable of scale back all however one of many injury, after which had a Curse Catcher (magic merchandise) to take away the curse he’d take from being wounded by Radukar! The second assault additionally acquired a injury or two via and so now Brutogg was cursed (and surprised!)
The Finish of Flip Occasion put Radukar’s initiative card on the entrance of the Initiative Monitor… and Glaurio was lifeless final!
Amanda tried a gambit for Glaurio and initially failed… however then rolled a crit for the second try! This put him in first place.
So Glaurio shot Radukar three extra instances, dealing NINE injury…
Then used his ultimate activation and a future die to step in and end Radukar off together with his sword!!
Glaurio ven Alten III introduced down the Wolfking!
There was no exit location for this state of affairs, the directions are merely, if Radukar is slain, open the sealed envelope within the field and skim it! So we let Amanda try this, because it was her character that took him down!
SPOILERS!!!
He does not die… We sort of knew that as a result of they made a Radukar the Beast miniature… and it is one which’s used within the sequel marketing campaign; Evening Wars. It narratively describes how he goes all Vargskyr and leaps out the window and tears down the partitions of the Ebon Citadel and escapes into the evening. For a time issues get higher in Ulffenkarn… however then at some point Hysh doesn’t rise and the realm is plunged into an everlasting evening!?
Yikes… so.. all additional video games performed rely as Evening… when all of the creatures get NASTY!!
Finnegan identified that this makes Octren Glimscry’s Tomes of Loss of life means higher – as a result of when he has hostiles assault one another, they deal extra injury – sufficient for skeletons to now kill one another – in the event that they hit! (a small silver lining, I suppose…?)
It states the Affect is lowered to zero and the Concern is reset at 5…
I suppose I have to crack open Evening Wars and begin studying…
I would thought possibly we would take a break. Amanda is leaving on a trip in lower than two week and might be gone till someday in August. However then Amanda stated we should always simply hold enjoying – together with the subsequent day – WEDNESDAY – our common Warhammer Quest evening!?
So… possibly tune in tomorrow for the persevering with adventures…?
