After a routine plunder of an ancient evil dungeon our band of heroes are now spending their hard earned gold in the sleepy village of Grimville and resting up for the next dungeon to empty.

But suddenly! The peace and guiet is broken by the evil sorcerror Veganus. As it turns out the ancient evil dungeon just emptied by our band of heroes belonged to Veganus and he wants his stuff back! His minions burst through the mostly abbandoned town wall.

But our heroes have lost just enough momentum, so they are caught by the rest of the evil minions.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/8C58A874-DF1D-4F86-8F89-B6B579F430F5_zpssfal7yjs.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/8C58A874-DF1D-4F86-8F89-B6B579F430F5_zpssfal7yjs.jpg.html)
With a mighty effort of Firebolts, lightning and blizzards biting and pulling hair. Ignolin manages to drive back the evil creatures.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/3692C05E-E8E0-41CB-9A9C-9F0C1F290987_zpsdkvcjbbz.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/3692C05E-E8E0-41CB-9A9C-9F0C1F290987_zpsdkvcjbbz.jpg.html)
And our heroes escape by the skin of their teeth.

To be continiued...
-
lol
Thanks for the game!
-
Aww, poor Ignolin and Cronald :( they lost all their friends..
Nice write up though, and good looking terrain! :)
-
Well Aimon ran of into the woods, he might return.
-
Great looking game!
-
Fun report, thanks! I like the wide mix of miniatures. The white spiders are especially creepy, looks like they might be plastic toy spiders painted up?
-
Thanks. The spiders are plastic Halloween decorations painted up by Dr. The Viking.
-
Very cool. Love me some Dragon Rampant. Wonderful table and report. Truly top notch.

EPILOGUE
A few days after the encounter at Grimville Cronald and Ignolin are still stumbling lost around in the woods with supplies running low.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/DD0A3AEA-A00F-4DF7-B5B1-3016AB35DE92_zpsf8tfdkbm.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/DD0A3AEA-A00F-4DF7-B5B1-3016AB35DE92_zpsf8tfdkbm.jpg.html)
As they step out into a clearing they hear a faint sound from the trees. Out steps their friend Aimon the wood elf!
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/65580314-44AB-4C8A-92F1-893CD9127578_zpsbuisirxs.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/65580314-44AB-4C8A-92F1-893CD9127578_zpsbuisirxs.jpg.html)
As Aimon tells our heroes the story of why he left the battle. The three companions hear a familiar traveling song and suddenly out of nothing the hobbit Ingo Sackhill materializes in the clearing.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/79DC3917-9C70-40D4-9DFC-37F5C302E675_zpsoelldfoy.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/79DC3917-9C70-40D4-9DFC-37F5C302E675_zpsoelldfoy.jpg.html)
With a smile the hobbit explains how he acquired this special 'other' ring in the dungeon. You don't have to be a Grand Master Wizard to figure out that this 'other' ring was the reason we were attacked in Grimville Ignolin says. We have to destroy either the ring or the evil wizard.
I know we're the evil creatures came from Aimon says...
-
Great looking game, terrain and figures. What mat were you using as its very effective?
-
The mat is from Deep Cut studios.
-
Ah, good to see they only lost their dwarven friend. Maybe they can find another member for their fellowship before the next episode... :p
-
Brilliant with an epilogue!

PART II
Our brave heroes have traveled for southwards for days trying to get away from the evil wizard Veganus' forces. As they aproach a very dense and spooky looking forrest they encounter a man who introduces himself as Pierre the magnificent. Bard to the nobles og nobles. Currently between employment..
Pierre claims to know the way through the forrest and offers to join our heroes and lead the safely through.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/0893EC75-264C-4D7A-A11A-33494E532FD1_zpsspu3y22l.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/0893EC75-264C-4D7A-A11A-33494E532FD1_zpsspu3y22l.jpg.html)
As our heroes advance up the road that leads through the forrest of doom and gloom they get a weird sense that something might be wrong.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/8496C37F-2AC7-4E77-A2A7-273D4D32F58B_zpsxmfr3tis.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/8496C37F-2AC7-4E77-A2A7-273D4D32F58B_zpsxmfr3tis.jpg.html)
Suddenly a pack of giant spiders drop down on Pierre!
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/A2A4C1BF-134F-474A-9D15-5BC1DD6422C4_zpsint9yvwd.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/A2A4C1BF-134F-474A-9D15-5BC1DD6422C4_zpsint9yvwd.jpg.html)
But he starts playing his guitar and sing. And that sends the spiders running. Sadly they regroup and charge again to take Pierre out.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/A226D816-0F1B-44A2-8BA3-7F97201E9E33_zpszztgkh5g.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/A226D816-0F1B-44A2-8BA3-7F97201E9E33_zpszztgkh5g.jpg.html)
The Gigantic spider Gleglob blocks the road.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/86CB2222-1716-4765-8C5B-71A0A3DD6808_zpsuoaauepl.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/86CB2222-1716-4765-8C5B-71A0A3DD6808_zpsuoaauepl.jpg.html)
But Aimon puts an arrow into one of its eyes and sends it running.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/A9DF5342-5072-410E-9A61-7C2951DD03D7_zpsnxlaovc6.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/A9DF5342-5072-410E-9A61-7C2951DD03D7_zpsnxlaovc6.jpg.html)
But Gleglob quickly composes itself and returns to take revenge on Aimon. Who is forced to flee.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/6884BB72-DF5C-458D-89FB-AB32D7F8A550_zpsxj6z6hz6.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/6884BB72-DF5C-458D-89FB-AB32D7F8A550_zpsxj6z6hz6.jpg.html)

Cronald the barbarian steps in and drives Gleglob away.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/934ECF26-F788-4CC6-BDA8-2EE9522DABB3_zpsymycpwpo.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/934ECF26-F788-4CC6-BDA8-2EE9522DABB3_zpsymycpwpo.jpg.html)
The forrest of doom and gloom is literally crawling with spiders and Ingo Sackhill who had laid low trying to stay out of trouble is spotted and promptly eaten by another pack of spiders. Or perhaps just stung and taken back to the lair!?
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/3BD763CE-4FF7-4160-B4D6-58AD124B7D35_zpslanihcyq.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/3BD763CE-4FF7-4160-B4D6-58AD124B7D35_zpslanihcyq.jpg.html)
Aimon is also overwhelmed by a flock of spiders.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/0A74CC3C-4E8D-4C1B-B1DE-CD74C5898E73_zpsluqsfcui.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/0A74CC3C-4E8D-4C1B-B1DE-CD74C5898E73_zpsluqsfcui.jpg.html)
Only Cronald and Ignolin the wizard remain now. Cronald urges Ignolin to run! They have to get away from this ambush.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/C8CAD895-1DEA-4032-B047-796C5DA7FB2E_zpsu3mgvgew.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/C8CAD895-1DEA-4032-B047-796C5DA7FB2E_zpsu3mgvgew.jpg.html)
But Ignolin is not fast enough. He is caught by the spiders and goes down.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/1ADC5197-A815-4FA3-A1E4-7F2CBE0BC562_zpsznxj2rdu.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/1ADC5197-A815-4FA3-A1E4-7F2CBE0BC562_zpsznxj2rdu.jpg.html)
Cronald fights off some more spiders.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/D058ADC3-7113-4FD5-A95B-4FF42420623E_zpsvkopetxd.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/D058ADC3-7113-4FD5-A95B-4FF42420623E_zpsvkopetxd.jpg.html)
While running he spots a cave entrance. Seing that as his only hope of escape he runs towards it.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/20EB9BA1-EE04-4215-84A1-6B132D0B8ABE_zpsvdt7xxxg.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/20EB9BA1-EE04-4215-84A1-6B132D0B8ABE_zpsvdt7xxxg.jpg.html)
And whilst the spiders are hot on his heels he makes it to the cave where the spiders for some reason do not dare to follow...
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t75/Fredejensen/4DCFB5E2-8C82-4830-992E-939B1608C89E_zpspfvisyrx.jpg) (http://s157.photobucket.com/user/Fredejensen/media/4DCFB5E2-8C82-4830-992E-939B1608C89E_zpspfvisyrx.jpg.html)

Great game!

and once again Cronald is left by all his frieds...
Yes Cronald appears to be up a certain creek without a certain instrument. Wonder how he is going to get himself out of this mess he is in.
