Frostgrave Game 1
Were the Wizards ignored each other , the soliders shoot each other and the wild life beat up everybody.....
Dodgy Fluff and Spelling warning......
The Villagers looked at Old Mother Hegity with a mix of fear, respect and awe. She has always been part of the village having delivered most of them and they parants too.
´You see mother´ said the bravest of them ¨The city defrosting is playing merry hell with the weather and the crops have failed, we just dont have the werewithal to pay our tax and the Baron will see us all out´ , he said ringing his hat in his ham fists.
Mother sat in her rocking chair by the fire petting her cat. ´mmmmm seems to me that the cause can be the cure , lots of goodies in that there city. You leave this to me. ´
´Susun ! , Were is that Slip of a girl ? Susun pack our packs were going hunting for gold. ´
´But Mother you cant go on your own surly ?´said the man made brave by worry.
´Who said we were going alone ? ´ Said Mother
She raised her arm and from out side come the sound a post being pulled from the good earth. Heavy foot falls ended with the cottage door busting open. The terrifed villagers could see Old Mother scarecrow standing in the door.
The old Witch smiled and said ´Gather the others , we have work to do......´
The War band
Witch Hand weapon and dagger
Aprentice Hand weapon and dagger
6 x Javelineers (who must have left them at home becuase I fogot to throw one all game !)
2 Archers
The Orc Necromencer
Some of you my notice that one of the orcs has a shoota , no one knows were he got it and he did not use it all game , maybe he ran out of ammo ?
The Table
After a few days traveling Old Mother Hegity and Susun the Strumpit come to the edge of the City of ice. Already She could sense magical object near by. But what was that movment further in to the city ? By the godess antoher Wiard and foul Necromencer by the smell of him !.
´Susan take three of the lads around that there building they is gold there, I will take three others around the other side, you two with the bows get up in that ruin and shoot at´um.
Our 1st Game so My son and I played a standard game.
Pre game spell I rolls Brew potion and failed while the foul Orc Necromencer rolled raise zombie and successed. (booo)
The Witches set up
Split into three groups , Witch with three Javelineers and Aprentice with three Javelineers set up left and right while the two archers made a next in the upper floors of a ruin.
while the foul Necromencer did preety much the same on the other side of the table including a archer on the top of a 5 story tower who would prove to be a pain in the pointy hat all game.
we rolled for int, I am the yellow dice , this proved to be the 1st of many such rolls
Having won Int the foul Orc Necromencer moved forward , one of his men grabed a treasure and started to move back to the edge of the table while his boss and two mates and the zombie covered his back, The Necromencer cast a spell on the treasure making sure he would move 1st next turn.
Meanwhile The Witch cast Telekinesis on one treasure moving it towards her apprentice then moving forward herself with the lad to get another.
The Orc apprentice move around building towards a treasure of they own while her archer moved into the building.
At the same time Susan the Witch apprentice cast Fog to cover the treasure in the open , sent one of the lads to pick it up and moved around the cover of a building to get antoer with the lads.
But the orc archers proved to be savage , one nailed poor Old Mother Hergity with a well placed shaft and nearly ending the old gal , while another narrowly missed her apprentice hitting the scarecrow with the treasure right next to her.
The Orc on the tower must die !
Round two Int O dear the dice gods hate on me once more !
At this point we remembered that we had not rolled for monsters when we picked up the treasure so we did a redo now and quickly wished we had not ! We got two monsters apair of rats and a Snow leapord !
The rats (Spiders figs) come on behind the Orcs while the snow Leapard (Dog fig) come on righ next the the Old Witch !
for the next two turns the the Spiadars (we forgot they were rats) and the Snow Lepard beats seven shades of stuffing out of the troops finally dieing only after killing a zombie on the Necro side and a scarecrow Javerliner on the other !
Mean while The Witch left her troops to they fate and run around the corner to pickup the treasure and get away fron the cat she is no fool !
On the other side of the table a unnoticed goblin thief run off the table with a treasure and the Witch apprentice cast another Fog spell and skipped back to meet up with the others.
The Orc apprentice moved his troops though the cover of the building and then with typical green skin disregard for the Safety of others cast a jump spell on a less than willing thug and throw him out into the open right next to the last unclaimed treasure. ( This tresure summoned a pack of wild dogs to come onto the table but on the far side away from every one)
were he was instantly hit by one of the witch´s archer scarecrows and fell not to raise again.
while the other archer scarecrows finally managed to hit the snipper on the tower
but saddly did not kill him
at this point all the tresures claimed and a pack of wild dogs running amok all sides agreed to run away very quicky.
But one of the witches archers took a pot shot at the Orc apprentice and dropped him stone dead with a single shot ! ( I rolled a 20 he rolled a 1 !....I did not know my son know those words
)
The witches casting two more fog spells to cover they withdrawal. (and get XP) and the game ended.
Rolls to see who died
The orcs two downed both recovered inc the appretice.
The witches had one javineer out for one game.
XP for the witches was 210 so she leveled twice. She reduced the cast cost of Telekinesis to 9 and Shield to 13.
We each got three treasures. The orcs roll a total of 60 gold and six scrolls (he roll 20G and two scrolls 3 times !)
While the witches got gold , two Grimoires and a magic +1 fight two handed sword. After selling the sword The witches had a total of 490 gold and the two grimoires.
She picked a Inn to be home and added a Kennel and a Rookery. She then spent 100 gold to make a new scarecrow , crow master who once animated went out and trained a crow (giant bat). She also sent gold for her hound Fluffy to join her now he had a home.
The warband after the battle minus Sckiel who is out for a game while he gets restuffed.
