Here my second Solo Battle Report, this time using my first real PA league (Baker Expedition) while the bot league is done with some old painted fantasy miniatures.
More pictures will be included in each new post.

Background: spring 1938, somewhere in central Italy.

Lord Baker and her daughter are exploring the mysterious catacombs of a XV century castle.
The ancient owner of the castle was a beautiful countess. The legend tells that the countess sold her soul to the devil for gain the eternal youth.
The Vatican destroyed the castle centuries ago, but now seem that some strange ghosts are wandering in the ruins (the victims of the countess?).
The vatican sent a witchunter team to investigate but nobody returned.
Now is the turn of the Bakers.

Major plot: the tomb (prison) of the countesss to seal
Minor plots: two wandering ghosts, waiting to find peace
Minor plot: Witchhunter Giacobbe, injured, waiting for the adventurers to give them his exorcist book so they can seal the tomb, then he dies.

When all minor plots are taken, the countess awakens (thanks to a necromancer: Friendly local in 1d10) and is ready to fight personally the intruders.

Thanks, and better pictures must still come

The miniature was done from Blood Moon Miniatures, but seem it's out of production now.

Here more pictures

Richard and her daughter move, they choice to divide and go for the two minor plots: the wandering ghosts.
Meanwhile, the necromancer (Friendly local) and the Ghoul King are guarding the tomb of their queen.
The zombies, skeletons and ghouls move.
However, the skeletons are unlucky and fail the challenge of the perilous area (giant rats) and ironically are killed (again).
What a pitiful end for them!

1) Lord Baker take the first minor plot: the wandering ghost finally rest in peace.
Ghost "Aveeeeeeeeeeeeenge meeeeeee!"

and vanished

2) Laura failed the first attempt to jump the wall, she try again in the new turn and finally overcomes the obstacle.
Laura "Ouch! I'm slipping!"

3) The ghoul try to overcome the rat swarm but fail the challenge with an incredibly unlucky roll of the dice, four 1! However no injuries.
Ghoul "Damned rats!

Yikes, it doesn't get any unluckier than that!

1) Laura take the second minor plot, another wandering ghost is finally free
Laura "Rest in peace, I will avenge you"

2/3) Lord Baker won the challenge and climb the wall, now he is near the injured witchunter.

The ghoul decides that's better to avoid the rats and join with the other undead.

3/4) Laura is moving and is near the bat swarm (perilous area).

5) Meanwhile, the undeads are ready to welcome the intruders, trying to hide themselves and ambush our proud adventurers.

Thanks

Here some nice pictures.

1) Lord Baker won the challenge and finally take the major plot!
Giacobbe "Stranger, I entrust to you my book of exorcisms, may you succeed where I have failed..." and then he die

Lord Baker: "I will not fail!"

2) Finally the countess arise from her tomb, the seal is broken and she is free.
Vampirella "Mhhh... I'm aliveeee... again"

3) Laura won the challenge of the perilous area (bat swarm)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Laura: "Stupid annoying bats!"

4/5) Now she is ready to shoot to the countess (with Special bullets, of course), but the vampire dodge all her shots!
Vampirella "How you dare mortal?!
