@boneio: Thanks very much. Yeah, that's the thing - with coop/solo games all of a sudden you have to bother with this sort of balance, and it takes quite a while until you get the hang of it. Especially with a rather swing-y d20-based game.

But that's what generates the drama and tension after all.
@Bloggard: Cheers. Yeah, I think I just overthought things. I guess I was just unhappy with the outcome, I don't like the fact that the beastmen are looting that nice town now (I read a fair bit about the thirty years war, which features a LOT of gruesome looting scenes, and I'm probably not able not to summon up these texts in my mind even in a fantasy setting

) and the mind wandered.
@Mister Frau Blucher:

Well, I got 15 more Orc blood bowl players. But then it's getting a bit problematic when it comes to hero figures.

Almost finished writing the English version of the next game report. Gotta finish that, then translate it into German, and it should be up later this week!
