Frosthaven – The War of the Spire (A) (29)

David Skelector Boardgame, Fantasy, Frosthaven, Play reports

The frosthaven campaign offers several mutually exclusive pathways, that’s great. We now have a choice to make: do we try to promote peace between the two warring Algox clans or, do we side with the war party and help annihilate the opposing clan?

Characters

  • Grayzill the Snowdancer (David) lvl 3, General Winter is on the field
  • Britney the Banner Spear (Mathieu) lvl 2>>3 a great leader, might be related to Bruce
  • Boson the Blink Blade (Guillaume) lvl 2>>3, Master of the 4th dimension

Math let me decide on the matter as I have an Algox character and all. But I really have a hard time thinking in roleplay terms in this game. I mean, after all this second character of mine will soon retire after only a few (in-game) weeks of adventuring, how invested can one be? So rather than rp the decision, I’m just going with the realpolitik/murderhobo ethos, let’s divide & conquer our foes in ruthless fashion!

I choose violence.
The goal is to destroy the magic spire.
Mandatory for the scenario is to split the party. Here’s the Blink Blade, the Banner Spear and one Algox ally beside them.
Now’s the perfect time for a morale boost, banner mode on!
Meanwhile, I’m on the other side of the map with two Algox allies.
« Pull. Watch you step! Hehe. »
The diminutive Blink Blade gets into a duel.
« He’s hurt, finish him! »
And now the Spire. Oh wait, is that a chest over there? Snowdancer whistles.
One big chunk removed.
Ew, the enemies don’t like that at all! Here they come!
Banner Spear: « Too late for you, I’ll meat grind this spire into oblivion! »

Closing Comments:

  • We had to finish destroying the spire in a hurry. Both the Blink Blade and Banner Spear were seriously depleted.
  • Lot of hazardous terrain for my Snowdancer to use. I could afford to be the single PC on one side.
  • The Banner Spear AOE attacks helped a lot to smash down the Spire.
  • The chest was really disappointing, I’m telling you!
