On the other flank the Chieftain led a bold attack into the Easterners, thrown forward with a Leap. The Infantryman was cut down, but the Apprentice evaded her vengeful pursuers. On the right flank my Infantryman and the Apprentice held off an attack from part of Ethan's force, injuring their Barbarian and killing the enemy Apprentice with a well-placed Bone Dart. These were carried away by the Marksmen, the Thug and a risen zombie-servant, who would be of little use in the low light.Īs the light began to return, the warbands finally began to clash.
A combination of Reveal Secret and Telekinesis saw my warband secure four pieces of treasure in time for the Eclipse, relatively unscathed. Nonetheless, Ethan and Matt exchanged shots and caused disruption for one another, while the northmen drew treasure to them and quickly rushed it off the board. In the diminishing light there was little threat from long-range spells or missile fire. Facing the Wildmen were the Easterners and their red-clad Enchanter under Matt, Jack and his Roman-themed force, and Ethan with his barbaric Witch-led crew.
The first game of the new campaign thread, Thaw of the Lich Lord, saw four of the battle-hardened and weary warbands converge in an unexplored section of the ruins, ready to witness the mysterious Eclipse from the best possible vantage point.
