Frosthaven – The Orphan’s Halls (51)

David Skelector Boardgame, Fantasy, Frosthaven, Play reports

Penultimate scenario of the Unfettered thread and the difficulty is ramping up!

Characters

  • Thousand Teeth the Trapper (David) lvl 4, brings innumerable lethal or helpful contraptions
  • Britney the Bannerspear (Mathieu) lvl 8, a great leader, might be related to Bruce
  • Solkan Innis the Pyroclast (Guillaume) lvl 3, the Floor is Lava

Onward in the rusty halls of the Orphan, this is a Capture the Objective scenario with many, many foes. But we’ve been provided with powerful machines-killing/EMP bombs to help us.

Automatons and Ancient Artilleries, should we use our bombs right there? Nah…
3 turns later… we’re still at the entrance are we not?
I finally open the door and… Oh shit!
That’s a lot of foes… The lil’ Trapper is leading the way, and runs farther (emboldened by Britney, +3 move), invisible.
And positions himself for…
KaBOOOM!!!
Two more bombs from his companions and the great Hall is almost quiet!
But not for long, Automatons and Ruined Machines keep appearing. There’s no defeating their number. Quick open that door!
We have to collapse the door behind us asap! Beware, more of them!
I still got one bomb, gnak gnak!
Ahh, that’s better!
The Pyroclast engulfs the door in fire and molten rock, that’ll do the job!

Closing comments:

  • We’ve wasted way too much time on the first room but once we were out things worked out surpringly well for us. Math was confident that we could and should cleaned it out and we mostly did in the end (his Bannerspear doing most of the job), but it drained a lot out of us to the point that I think it almost compromised our mission.
  • I gotta say, I’m quite satisfied with myself with how I did some nice combination of initiative-weaving and pulling, all while being invisible, so that I’ve managed to maximize the effect of my first bomb (it was decided that I was the one bringing two).
  • I feel like it could have been stun bombs instead of insta-kill ones and it could still have been a feasible (if harder) scenario.
