Halt attacks E Chaos Skelly:

Chaos Skelly defends:

MadMickyG rolled 3 6-sided dice:

Just quickly, did Halt lose a B from the Pink fire spell cast by the Witch? I checked, but cant be sure. Asking only because Amulet protects against fire and ice attacks.

As he cant move, and a last desperate effort, Halt will drink the Potion of Resilience.

I forgot about the amulet but he didn't lose a BP to that spell anyway.

Ochy! Halt falls, in several separate pieces.

Well a combination of me overestimating the power level of eight heroes, a couple of bad decisions and biased dice killed the whole group. Better to get a fpw in the first quest when there's nothing to lose. I hope you two enjoyed it despite all the hero blood. I really enjoyed using some of the monsters, hope they were fun to fight. Thanks for playing and giving me a chance to try them out. I'll get the quest notes written up neatly and post it in the custom quests section so you'll be able to see the rest of it.

Next they'll be six new heroes split into three groups and two NPCs in each group for three groups of four. I've done one of the next quests and started another but I'd prefer to wait until all three are ready and start them at the same time like we talked about. Should be ready in no more than a week. I'll also post another update to the rules with some minor tweaks, I think it mostly worked well. I'll also post it as a list of the changes so you don't have to read through it all and you can tell me what you think. We can sort out the heroes in a few days in case anyone else wants to join in and by the time we've done that and sorted out spells we should be ready to go.

Yes, the balance here wasn't with heroes' side but i enjoyed the quest because of all the new monsters. Nice mechanics.

I failed miserably with the spell part with Luther. Most of the spells were power lvl 3, which is why I hardly cast any.
I did have an excellent opportunity to burn a room of Skellies, but as I said, when I make a plan, I never get the movement roll to complete it.
Had same thing with Halt near the end. Escape plan, but was rolling 5 or less for total movement. Hard to run away after an attack with so little movement.

Rolling physical dice is one thing, but RNG dice, or RNG in any form, seems to hate me.

Worst of all, no PBP going on, so I'm going to get bored at work now. Nothing to think about game wise.

You also could have a lot more of the Tzeentch Staff, Tzeentch spells are low power for their strength because Tzeentch is the chaos god of magic. Bright magic has the highest power spells overall, total of 21-23 (ball of fire is 1-3). That's the disadvantage of having the most destructive college. Ice is the second highest powered, total of 20. Jade is the lowest, power total of just 13! Seven power 1s and three power 2s.

I still can't believe how well the stone chaos warrior did, that was freaky.

You shouldn't have to wait long.

How did the skeletons get out of the room after the tomb, that door was never opened. Did the Chaos Witch retrieve the Frost spell book?

A Stone Chaos Warrior opens the door and attacks bRuno.]

Guessing she opened a few doors.

No, monsters can't open doors.

She was out of sight when she did it so I didn't go through what she was doing.

Because that room had been activated by a random event when you were fighting the skellies. That's the only time monsters can open doors.

Two quests are ready and the third is well under way. Are you ready to pick your heroes? One of your own and you can use the same ones as before, so Micky you can have another monk from the monastery if you want. One hero from my core ones but not the original four, so one each from:

Fighter (now updated)
Wood Elf
Gnome
Sorcerer
Warrior
Knight
Archer
Mountain Dwarf
Swashbuckler
High Elf

All on the first page here: viewtopic.php?f=203&t=2645 and one each from my other heroes. You can look through the rest of that topic or tell me roughly what you're after for that hero if you like and I'll post a list, I haven't done cards for some of them so they haven't been posted.

I've clarified and altered the rules a bit. I tried updated the first post but it won't let me. Says dice code cannot be removed. This is a list of the main changes:

Luck is now capped to a maximum of twelve either way and the party looses one luck point for every three BP caused on monsters instead of every four (luck is only ever used for the rare event table but could be specifically written into quest rules I suppose).

Room activations now don't need to have a door in sight of an adventurer.

Mentor/Morcar restorations now heal MP as well as BP.

You can now open a door when you're running but it ends your turn.

Secret doors are now treated as ordinary doors once they're found.

A dead Hero's items remain on the square they died in indefinitely and can be be picked up and used by monsters as well as heroes.

Spells with Wall in their name can't be ended by magical means after they're cast.

A Spell that can target anywhere on the board can be used on targets that are out of sight.

In the event of a full party wipe, Mentor is able to teleport out any Quest Treasures that party has (you've still got the Talisman Of Protection so at least you got something out of the first quest).

Monsters in the treasure deck have been replaced by room activations.

I've put the event numbers back to what they should be for four heroes so the chance of an event will be the same as it was last quest and I'll probably leave as it is so next time time there's more heroes they'll be more chance of an event each turn.

One-Two Adventures = 3
Three-Five Adventures = 4
Six-Nine Adventurers = 5
Ten-Fourteen Adventurers = 6
Fifteen-Twenty Adventurers = 7
Etc.

[MadMickyG]

Will decide my heroes shortly. Really liked Halt, even though he wasnt overly special in anyway, other than 10 BP.

[Gold Bearer]

It might reintroduce hero dead hero classes later, probably allowing any dead hero who reached champion level to be replaced by any hero class.
