Frosthaven – The Edge of the World (7)

David Skelector Boardgame, Fantasy, Frosthaven, Play reports

We’re now an impressive tech-heavy team with the newly addition of the Unfettered Hive character among us. And we’re finally starting the Lurkers sub-campaign, with a more aquatic theming throughout.

Characters

  • Thousand Teeth the Trapper (David) lvl 5, brings innumerable lethal or helpful contraptions
  • 4h the Hive (Mathieu) lvl 3, has multiple robotic bodies, « jumps » from one to the other
  • Pearce DeWalt the Metal Mosaic (Guillaume) lvl 3, the pressure is rising!

Straightforward, linear scenario, dotted with many traps (hooray!). We must find the Coral Corpse mini-boss and kill it.

Let them come to us, we’ll prepare a few nasty surprises.
Whom’s armor is the best between the Metal Mosaic’s or the Lurker’s?
Trapper:  » Hmpf, no armor can resist the strength of my traps! »
Look, more of them!
Is that 4h’s legs? Where’s the rest of him?
Oh, there he is. Nevermind.
Yikes! That’s an ugly one!
Come here, yes, that’s it, a bit closer…
And here we go! Pushes*
The Coral Corpse has been pushed through no less than 5 traps and is bleeding profusely. One final hit from the Hive finishes the corrupted beast.

Closing Comments:

  • Cool array of gadgets (and mashed-up star wars minis) from the Hive’s character. Unfortunately, we won’t see him for a while as he’s retiring already! His personal quest, with a stroke of luck, has been quite easy to achieve.
  • The Trapper and Metal Mosaic have a very good synergy between the two characters with the latter being able to spring traps into enemies.
  • Traps are great against shielded enemies as they go right through.
  • An effective use of traps and pushes trivialized the mini-boss but it was fun.
