I'm forced to take my revitalation potion. Which should take me back to 8BP!

Attack Skele next to crossbow man.

Actually, I just realised Andreas that you only defended 2 for me in that last attack! I will throw an extra combat die now. If I roll a shield would you be happy for me to restore a BP and I won't take my potion and keep my 4BP. If not then we just keep things as is.

Yes you're right, sorry.

I removed your potion and added the BP five minutes ago.

So far this quest burned through 15 BP. I wonder how the Barbarian is supposed to survive that.
In my simulation, you got 3 Wandering Monsters plus the two WM traps you got so far. At least here I wasn't wrong. :lol:
I thought that by now, two mercenaries would still be alife.

Interesting stuff! Yeah I feel like maybe you shouldn't search for treasure in every room? You could also just head straight out of the dungeon, instead of going through all the rooms. Still tough quest though.

OK let's try and end this!

-------------------------------------
My personal opinion is that the first three Quests were initially intended as Group Quests and somewhere during development, but after the quests were initially designed, they changed and thought: "Oh! Wouldn't it be cool to make a couple solo Quests!?". So they did and took out a couple of monsters here and there, added a couple items, but didn't go back and play test them. Really, this wouldn't be a bad group quest at all, with a couple more monsters.

As it stands I think the expectation is to resist the urge to search non-obvious places and think your way out of the maze. If you're down to 1 or 2 BP you should be running for the exit. That NW quad could be cut out entirely as you can see the hallways around it and know that it doesn't have the way out. I would guess we could have a peek around the corner where we are and see if there's a wall or exit up there, rather than run into the rooms and hope it leads to the north hallway and an exit.

As a side note....I think the idea of solo quests are silly. I mean, you sell this game as a 5 player game, or at least a 3 player game, then you intentionally come out with expansion packs that force you to use 2 players and cut out any other players that may have been there.

Bah! Grumpy old man syndrome, I suppose.

Well if you think that's the grumpy old man syndrome, then I have the same.

15 BP Is a well balanced quest for a group!
