Frosthaven – The True Oak (70)

David Skelector Boardgame, Frosthaven, Play reports

Tredir the Drifter is asked to save the True Oak because some unhinged folks claim it’s not that true of an oak and want to turn it to ashes. Ain’t it all a bit excessive? Can’t each have their own oak and y’know, be happy and let be? And what do the squirrels think of all of this? Are there even squirrels in the frosthaven universe? So many questions…

This is the final scenario in the Drifter’s personal quest after which he will retire.

Characters

  • Grayzill the Snowdancer (David) lvl 1, General Winter is on the field
  • T-Gee/Mina the Geminate (Math) lvl 4>>5, two competing hiveminded insect swarms in a single body
  • Tredir the Drifter (Guillaume) lvl 5>>retirement, versatile Inox fighter
While the Drifter rummages through his stuff and prepares himself, it seems like the Geminate is particularly eager to help save the True Oak for their own unscrutable motives (yeah, it’s for XP) … They rush forward, activate a shield/retaliate combo, inflicting heavy damage to the hounds and fanatics.
But they get in a bit of a pickle… The fanatics are firm believers of « an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth » maxim. Fortunately the Drifter joins the melee and bashes skulls left and right. I patch up the Geminate as best I can thereafter and we’re good to go.
And here’s the True Oak in all its splendor, assaulted by fanatics and Sun Demons.
I channel life energy and heal the sacred tree almost faster that he can be damaged whilst my companions kill the offenders.
More fanatics and their leader, the so-called « White Flame » sporting a flaming sword. Well, it won’t be long before he’s extinguished! Tredir uses the Decanter of Mist that he just found, reducing the ranged attacks of the Sun Demons and it’s time for a Firefly Swarm from the Geminate.

Closing Comments:

  • Math sat on the True Oak mini and almost crushed it before he could even use it for the first time!
  • I used the persistent loss card Cold Therapy that allowed me to do a massive amount of healing during the scenario. As the True Oak was considered an ally I could heal it and it finished with full hit points!
  • We had our first winter outpost event. An evil influence in town is leading to bizarre acts of violence. We ourselves fall victim to this when the Drifter disembowels himself and then went after us (successfully, we’ll be wounded at the start of our next scenario)! We were joking afterward that it’s much better for this maniac to retire and he won’t be missed!
  • The retirement of the Drifter boosted our prosperity level to 3 and that means that our characters can’t be lower that level 2 as of now, that means that I’m bumped up to lvl 2 and Guillaume’s new character will start lvl 2.
