continued 05.01.18Yes, bare-bothered and mad as an ostrich in a dog kennel, Simon the Holy Man descends from the rocks - the lure of treasure setting his extraordinary brain afire.
Sending Eddie Grundy the archer ahead to deal with Ashera, Simon leads the rest of his band from the rocks.
Except for Tiny, Grasshopper and Lock Lamore who are still steathily creeping round the edge of the village towards the temple.
Ashera is now supported by Sandra and Ruffina, the apprentice. Ruffina casts a Leap spell on Eddie Grundy and deposits him in the pool on top of the rocks amidst scenes of wild hilarity only to be told that she couldn't cast Leap on an opponent so all that fun was disallowed. Shame.
Treasure secured, Red Sonia now went a bit battle-mad and charged Tiny and Grass Hopper. The ferocious female quickly slew Tiny before succumbing herself to the pointy stick of Grasshopper.
Ashera, now facing most of Simon's band decides the best tactic for an archer facing overwhelming odds is to CHAAARGE....! Simon has created a very repulsive zombie and Ashera goes straight for it
And despatches it with ease...!
She is then slain herself, probably by Eddie Grundy the archer sneaking up behind. The action had got so "hazy" (to use Mad Lord Snapcase's favourite euphemism to describe gaming at DevLAM17) that the chronicler is not entirely sure.
This allowed Simon to grab some treasure at last and both sides withdrew to count their spoils. Thanda (also called Thandra and sometimes Sandra) was the clear winner and settled down to spend her wealth on improving her band for Game 2, a report of which follows, I hope, at some stage.
