Failure: When travelling to town, add 1-6 extra Travelling Hazards to the journey. While in town, roll for daily events twice and take the lower result.

All we can do is hope that these guys don’t kill us. But one question I must ask is whether breaking the assault is the win condition, or if we have to clear the leftovers.

@Mae @DeadbeatWalking @CollectorOfMyst@rocketrobie2
Well we weren't as ready for this mission as I thought, maybe we should all have spawned in room A despite it being dark there. Still not gonna give up

@Duthguy

Like I said earlier, the bridge was the main choke point. With his range, Dan could shoot across the abyss no problem. Harold, and Dan or Jamie could have blocked the way across the bridge, with Charlie and Jamie healing. And it isn’t that hard to imagine that whenever a few of the monsters got out the pit one or two of us could have pursued and killed them before they got too far.

I swear to god if we get a chance to retry this...

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Scarescrow Also, Jamie is both a committed woman and not swinging that way. She won’t judge them for reasons, but she’ll have to decline their advances.

@CollectorOfMyst

More dynamite.

Once you get them chocked up. Heavy on the frags and try and thin out the rear ranks.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@PrinceAlexus Bandages and Whiskey are more important. You aren’t going to be throwing any dynamite if you’re dead.

@PrinceAlexus Bandages and Whiskey are more important. You aren’t going to be throwing any dynamite if you’re dead.

@CollectorOfMyst

Only like one each, then with 4-5 that gives you 4-5 rounds of dynamite.

Or you can double up if a particularly nasty monster.
You still have room for 2 whiskey and 2 sets of bandages.

So that's 8-10 healing of each and 4-5 offensive actions

[CollectorOfMyst]

@PrinceAlexus Fair enough. I thought you meant everyone fill their inventory with it.

[Mae]

@DeadbeatWalking@duthguy@rocketrobie2@CollectorofMyst

I did forget to do one EXTREMELY important thing last night and that was the Hold Back the Darkness roll at the start of the turn, before the Void Hound moves.

Since no one is the Lanternbearer for this mission, anyone may reroll the test if it fails.

You need to get 9+ to break the assault. Then you have to clean up the stragglers. Bear in mind - if you succeed at Breaking the Assault, no new monsters can spawn, including those waiting off map (so the Night Terror, Hell Bats, Slasher, Tentacles and Void Spiders) but you do have to clear up the ones on the board. They'll start behaving normally aka running round and attacking you.

Currently, Jamie has one determination and Father C has a determination, and so does Hawkeye Harold. But he probably wants to save his because he's seen flashes of his future involving alot of blood.

This is probably your best chance to win the mission and get delicious, delicious loot.

...

Thinking about it I should of wrote this post after I rolled. oh well. I've written it now so I'm leaving all this in for dramatic effct ;D

The Assault is Broken

New Objective: Clean up the remaining Monsters
(and don't die doing it, preferably)

You blink as the horrific vision clears your mind. Unless your Deputy Hawkeye, he still gets bitten by a dog from the Void.

@DeadBeatWalking The Void Hound lashes out at Hawkeye Harold and strikes 5 times. He dodges once, but takes 8 Damage! Spend a determination to reroll ect.?

Pending Void Spiders...%

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae So if any enemies leave now we don’t lose?

Also, that’s the wrong map. The Void Spiders already left (unless you reset?)

[Mae]

@CollectorofMyst The Void Spiders attack. The four so close to the exit, their victory stolen from them, screech and swarm at Jamie Hart. The first spider skids past her and misses completely. The second manages to nip at her heels, but she pulls away and the attack misses her. The third steals it's chance and hits her for 6 Damage! The final spider tries to get one last bite in but Jamie stomps it away from her. Spend a determination to reroll failed defense save?

The spider on the bridge seems intent on going after Dan, for some reason. It skuttles up behind him and hisses menacingly, but fails to connect a single shot, as the rancher dodges nimbly away.

The last Void Spider sneaks up behind Father C. It goes to take a bite but he shoos it back, giving it the evil eye. It hisses at him.

Defend the Bridge

Defend the Bridge

---

---

Objective:
Prevent the monsters escaping the Mine and survive their onslaught.

Reward: 200gp and 4 Loot Cards per player.
Failure: When travelling to town, add 1-6 extra Travelling Hazards to the journey. While in town, roll for daily events twice and take the lower result.

Flavour

It's worse than you thought.

The local rumours don't even begin to cover the horrors that awaited you, down in this mine.

A screach in the darkness and a wave of creatures rise up from the deep, intent on freeing themselves from the mine and wreacking havoc on the local countryside. Only one thing stands in their way - you, atop this rickety bridge, the only way across a dark chasm towards the Mine exit.

You are the last hope. You must defend the bridge... or die trying.

Conditions

Conditions

This mission has a Fixed Map.

There is no lantern on this map, instead, certain locations are well lit.

Heroes have unlimited Scavenging on all Tiles. Scavenging is never exhausted.

Unlimited Enemies - Enemies keep spawning at certain locations on the Map until the Posse has defeated enough enemies to stop their advance.

Every time enough Enemies escape the mine, the Darkness becomes stronger. If the Darkness fully escapes the mine, the heroes lose.

Heroes are experiencing Desperation. Whenever there are no monsters on their Map Tile, they may choose to either: Scavenge, Catch Their Breath, Prepare a Once Per Fight item or Recover a Determination.

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst I reset back as the posse succeeded the Hold the Darkness test.

This means no monsters can leave and no new monsters can spawn.

It becomes a kill everything mission from hereon out :D

@DeadBeatWalking Since the map rolled back I'll need a new set of turn actions from you <3

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae I mean I wouldn’t have objected, that’s less damage taken.

[Mae]

@Leaves Dick Grant moves up. He has 3 movement left this turn.

You have enough movement to get to B3 where you can take a shot from, if you'd like :D

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst are you spending a determination to reroll the defense saves?

[duskshine749]

@Mae not sure if you saw since a lot happened, but Dick Grant moved on team idol and I don’t think he can do much else?

You posted as I was posting <_<

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae No. I’ll use this turn’s Acrobatic dodge.

[Mae]

@duskshine749 I got chu, see above

*smokes fancy cigar*

*chokes a little*

[duskshine749]

Smoking is bad, don’t do it

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst Jamie Hart dodges, she will only take 4 Damage this round. Spend a determination or accept?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae Fancy cigars are bad for your health.

[CollectorOfMyst]

>Accept, since I’m all but certain I’ll need that Determination.
