Frosthaven – Elemental Cores (66)

David Skelector Boardgame, Fantasy, Frosthaven, Play reports

Second scenario of Boson’s personal quest, the Aether Outpost. The first one was hard, this one we teetered on the brink of disaster.

Characters

  • Lazy Liz the Deathwalker (David) lvl 2, sun-averse, why walk when we can teleport
  • Britney the Banner Spear (Mathieu) lvl 4 a great leader, might be related to Bruce
  • Boson the Blink Blade (Guillaume) lvl 4, Master of the 4th dimension

Last time we secured a special place for a stranded group of Aesthers. They need more of our help, we have to secure four (no less, no more) Elemental Cores so they can power up their, I dunno, their machine? Spaceship? Or…

Their nightclub! (okay, I’m totally making this up, but isn’t it a cool decor by Math yet again?)
As far as Haven goes, it’s a bigass map. Do we have the stamina?
Let’s open two rooms at once shall we.
The Blink Blade opens the light-blue room and finds four demons between us and our goal. We must find a way to get the Core behind and bring it to the central room.
Second room, the green, four more demons. Boson gets face to face with a meaty Earth Demon.
And uses his lucky dice…
An epic avalanche of luck for the win!
One Elemental Core brought back courtesy of shadow jumps. I’m so smooth, I’m so dope, yah.
Opening two more rooms? Why not?
Hey guys, ‘member how the Wind demons have disarm abilities like half their attacks? Wait? What?!
Things aren’t so smooth now. Not one bit.
But demons can bleed. Now, who can outlast the other?

That’s victory for us!

Closing Comments:

  • An amazing start for us led to a bit of overconfidence. I could easily have added 5-6 more pictures with grim comments attached.
  • The Wind Demons really messed up our momentum. Fortunately I was able to place a bleeding shadow on their path (along with the always pesky flame demon) and, lucky for us, they got a move on their cards and got the bleed condition. That reignited our hopes of winning.
  • The Banner Spear fought against a whole bunch of enemies all the way through and almost got a mastery even but had to let go of the project when things turned south.
  • The Blink Blade covered incredible distance while dishing out impressive damage, very strong character.
  • My shadow abilities were somehow both very restrained by the size and non-linearity of the map but also really instrumental to winning, All in all an auspicious start for the Deathwalker I think.
