Descent 2nd ed, campaign games part 4

[Anatoli]

Time had come to play the campaign interlude scenario. After last session the error of having played one more Act 1 scenario led us to consider playing 5 act I and 5 act II scenarios but a warning from a reader of the blog made us change our minds (the extra XP for the heroes would make them too powerful for the campaign). Instead we jumped to the Interlude (playing "The Shadow Vault").

Act II will also be one scenario shorter to balance up the one scenario longer Act I.

The Shadow Vault:

Players during this session

The Overlord: Me
Grisban the Thirsty: Johan
Tomble Burrowell: David
Avric Albright: Fredric

In this scenario the heroes have already found the treasure they are looking for, a valuable Shadow Rune artifact. However the Overlord is also looking for this magic Rune and intercepts the heroes just as they are filling their pockets in the treasure chamber of the Shadow Vault. The scenario here is for the heroes to escape the clutches of the Overlord by making a very long trek down the entire board, the Overlord has to intercept them, steal the Shadow Rune and escape off the exit halfway down the map.
