The part of Frostgrave we were playing in is shown below - well with me terrain it is more of a Arrid-grave .....anyway!
Wish I had put some roads in .... It would have defined the layout better.
Anyway we picked spells and rolled to set up - each starting in a corner. DK did a pre game Animal Familiar and got wolf - Steedo failed to cast Secret Treasure.
As my board is 4 by 3 foot there was an approx 6" band down each side - this caused problems from the start as Steedo put a "warning shot" across DK's war and in this terrian free band - resulting in a retaliatory strike. Some good rolling from DK meant that Steedo lost 2 soldiers and his apprentice by the end of turn 2!
My Amazon based warband creep across the table towards treasure while DK and Steedo kill each other!
Steedo when on the offensive and killed DK's wizard rolling an 20 with a +8 Elemental bolt!
Vengenance was his!
Unfortunately it did leave his wizard perilously exposed! So DK surrounded him with soldiers and kicked the life out of him! (The moment just prior to this is below!)
So two wizards and one apprentice down (and a number of soldiers). My warband had by this time got 3 treasures and my wizard off the board. Below is the end game with Steedo's treasure hunter about to kill one of my archers in the background, while my apprentice steps through the arch to kill DK's apprentice with a bone dart spell!
We called the game there!
We didn't use any spells which required a will defence - just didn't come up.
The plan is to start a campaign once we can get Orc's Drift finished.
