Thanks, JP!   When you want a break from Frostgrave, it might be just the thing.    It is a lot of fun, and enough of a change that you don't feel it's just the same game over again.

I finally got around to finishing my game 2 report.  You can find it here: http://wargamingnotes.blogspot.com/2018/03/ghost-archipelago-campaign-game-2-x.html

Hope you enjoy the read.

thoroughly enjoyable read. Continued thanks to you (and Chris Palmer) for your write-ups of these games.
seemed like a touch of the 'Runyon's in your writing style actually.

Great write-ups, keep them coming!

Thanks for the kind words regarding our reports!

Last weekend we played the third game of our Ghost Archipelago campaign, and did the Drichean Cages scenario from the core rulebook.    What a game!   My latest report has been posted.  Enjoy!

       "...As the fight was ending, Marny, the Warden, ran up to help.   While the others hurriedly cleaned and sheathed their weapons, she went over to the prisoner , and taking him by the arm, tried gently but urgently, with soothing words, to get the quivering, sobbing, man to stand and go with them.
    They all knew the Monarch was very close now. In fact they could see him on the far bank of the stream less than 100 yards away.   "Quickly!" Lord Fortrywn said to his Niece.    The Heritor looked around at the carnage.  It seemed like there was no one left from Gregorious' crew. He surmised that they were probably all out of action, or ran at the sight of the Monarch.  But he was wrong..."

absolutely cracking looking game and write-up.

Thanks Bloggard.

The GA games seem more up close and personal as far as combat goes.  Different tactics are needed.

Glad you are enjoying he reports, Mike!  Good luck with your campaign, too!

You don't have to wait long for the next report; we already played our fourth game this past Saturday.  A scenario called "The Island of Floating Hulks", based on a solo scenario, "The Floating Hulk", that was published in Wargames Illustrated.
 
    What a game it was!   Nine long turns of carnage and glory.
 
     "...Frantically, the Crew-woman began to paddle, but the creature had seen the small craft and sped towards it.    Arbyn set the oar down and, standing, brandished her sword.  She had been sailing most of her life, and was not afraid to face any monster of the sea with a good Elven blade in her hand. She smiled, and braced her feet in the rocking craft.   The Octopike disappeared a few yards from the boat; then with a shower of spray 8 powerful tentacles burst from the waves right next to the tiny vessel, and shot forward to wrap themselves around it's next meal.  But Arbyn, daughter of the sea, was not prepared to die that day..."
 
   
     "...A shout behind her caught Gwyn's attention, and turning she crossed the deck.  Looking up, she saw one of Skorri's Archers up in the crows nest of a small derelict sloop right behind the blue-hulled ship.  He seemed to have found something, and was calling to his friends on the larger vessel behind.  Slowly, the Hunter raised her bow and notched an arrow.  Determinedly, she drew back the bow, despite the fiendish pain it caused her.  Gwynwater could feel a trickle of blood going down her back,  but she did not waiver.  A brightness shown in her eye for a brief flicker as she sighted down the shaft at her target.  "Let it fly true." she whispered to herself, and released the arrow..."
