More Age of Heroes

Over the past week I have played around some more with Age of Heroes.

Another Arena Fight
After their not-so stellar debut, I decided to give Nocan the Barbarian and Blandalf the wizard another chance for glory.

Blandalf redeemed himself, killing 2 scorpions (the picture shows him blasting one that is rushing Nocan's flank).

Gimlet and Archer No. 1 also scored kills in this battle. Nocan was still useless.

An Age of Heroes Campaign
While arena battles are fun, they can get a little stale when it is the same 2 teams fighting. I decided to spice up the fights with a skirmish campaign.

The concept is that a party of 5 adventurers have been hired to defend a village from a band of marauding orcs. I created a list of missions and will roll randomly each game to determine the mission. The campaign will last 5 games.

But before that, I decided to try out my newly completed Magnificent Not-Quite-Seven.

Introducing the team (L to R) - Nocan the Barbarian, Blandalf the wizard, Boros the Red Priest, Gimlet the dwarf, and Armolas the elf (Boros and Armolas are new).

In the arena vs. some (refurbished) scorpions. Blandalf blasts 2 of them while Gimlet hacks another in twain.

Boros kills one. Nocan finally hits! But his weak blow fails to penetrate the bug's chitin. Armolas has to slay it with a well-placed arrow.

In this battle, everyone scored a kill, except for Nocan!
