...and the quest begins!

[Gold Bearer]

I'll Ball Of Flame him on my next turn, then use Dominate to get him in position, then Mind Lock. That's why Abagaza needs to be in that room, or he's not going to come north.

I think we should go north because I doubt there'll be more than one monster and I can use Arrows Of The Night we need to, although I'd rather use that on the giant. That way I can keep the giant in my sight for longer. It's a risk, but I think it's worth taking, but we need to see down that corridor this turn to see what we're getting into.

We've also got two potions of strength, a heroic brew and Courage. He's ours for the taking!

[Patroclus]

Your magic could work very well on him, but even if you add up all your magic wounds you could make about 10 body points maximum and still are not enough. He has a 5 defence dices which are unbreakable with our 1 and 2 melee attack dices. We are doomed... Sorry for my pessimistic approach but I found that it’s more logical to leave the dungeon than fight against this thing. Don’t forget that we have “problems” by killing goblins with those low stats we all have.

With Mind Lock he can roll defend dices and only sleep can do some job.

In the upper path there will be not only one goblin. It’s 100% connected with the second path we leave behind at the start, so there is a path as hard as the one we’ve take.

[Gold Bearer]

No, with Mind Lock he can't defend! That's when I'll Genie him and everyone can drink their potions and I'll cast Courage on someone. We can surround him on three squares.

When mindlocked, he defends with one dice only (as per the ogre horde rulebook).

If he gets mindlocked for 4+ turns, he is dead.
A hero with courage will inflict 7-9 body damage in 4 turns, while the rest of us can add 2-3 points with regular attacks. Add 1-2 from fire spells and 2-3 from genie and he's dead. Easiest 100 gold ever.

Add another round from tempest and he has to be extremely lucky to survive all those attacks. We just have to find a nice place to start the assault.

[Gold Bearer]

That's more like it, and he doesn't defend at all when Mind Locked. I think my next move should be to cast Backbone on Patroclus!

[Gold Bearer]

When mindlocked, he defends with one dice only (as per the ogre horde rulebook).

Oh okay, you either added that bit or I read too quick. I didn't realised that was actually covered in the rules. I'll have to change my clarifications for those spells.

[Patroclus]

ok, sounds like a plan... a wide room for "ambush"...

[Sotiris]

[tasoe]

...open door and if nothing is triggered move E, E, N...

3 squares left.

[Gold Bearer]

Patroclus, don't go anywhere until later in the round. I might come and cast Swift Wind on ya.

I thought Patroclus was the characters name but it's your user name. Sorry dude. The elf's called Orthos.
