The Battle of Carn Vorn continues...
The heroes in the South East corner make a strategic withdrawal. They back up slowly still in formation. Arioch has been wounded and is down to 1 Wound! Prince Arioch carries a Vial of Vitality and can heal some wounds. Should he heal himself or Adeline who is also wounded? Adeline has a magic torch - the Torch of Fae-Fires that can stop the Trolls from regenerating. Prince Arioch heals himself. Adeline falls back even further with Mordecai the Butler and some henchmen. Malekith the Dark Paladin uses his Siphon spell killing an orc and healing a wound for himself.
Malekith the Dark Paladin : You should move to a small town - where the rule of law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf. And this is the land of wolves now.
An Owlbear arrives in the center of the Eastern board edge along with more Orcs!
The Owlbear charges an archer. This heroic archer hits in melee! Then makes his To-Save roll from the Owlbear's attack! He should have surely been smushed. The Valar are watching over this henchman. The heroes watch in horror as the Owlbear's wound heals itself! What manner of sorcery is this? Same thing happens with the Green Slaad.
So the Owlbear and Green Slaad seem to be exhibiting the regeneration
ability of a Troll. As if they have been imbued with Troll-Nature. How did this happen? What mad wizard or god would do such a
thing? Who knows why madmen do what they do.
The Green Slaad moves around the South West corner's hero blockade and comes out towards the center of the Southern board edge. 2 Orcs follow him. The monsters are shifting their attack!
Balthazar uses his Control Mind spell on the Slaad-Troll and has him run off the table. Of course the Slaad returns the next turn, but it buys them some time to stage a defense on this side. Lenore the Valkyrie and Karnov the Barbarian hold the line against the monsters.
Balthazar the Blue once again casts Mind Control on the Slaad and has him run off again!
McGirk and a knight watch the Slaad in amusement.
Playing those mind games forever
Pushing the barrier, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerilla
I'll be playing those mind games forever
Some kind of Druid dude, lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
Keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas
Absolute elsewhere, in the stones of your mind
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
Karnov the Barbarian: You done running around? Good. I guess this is what we are doing. Bring it!
In the North West corner the Owlbear-Troll and 2 orcs are caught in a trap. Strangle-Vines erupt out of the ground and immobilizes them. An archer who was in combat with an Orc runs off from the now immobilized orc and shoots that Orc killing it! It is the heroic archer that survived the Owlbear's attack earlier! He deserves to have a name. If he survives this game, Im sure he will be known as more than "archer henchman".
The Owlbear stands, breaks free of the Strangle Vines and is immediately force pushed away by Mordecai the Butler's Telekinetic Push spell.
Eye-dea the Beholder arrives! And he comes in from the center of the Southern board edge.
Heroes beware! Its time for Disintegration and Mass Sleep spells!
The heroes prepare for the Beholder.
Hold the line!
And as the Beholder and his Orc guards get into range. A trap is sprung! Sleep Spores make the monsters go night-night. A fallen log behind the monsters was hiding the trap (not shown in pic, but trust me it was there). No wonder the heroes seemed so smug and giddy...
An Orc goes to wake up the Beholder, but before it can, he is mind controlled away by Balthazar and heads back towards the Green Slaad.
With your feet in the air and your head on the groundTry this trick and spin it, yeahYour head will collapseBut there's nothing in itAnd you'll ask yourself
The mind controlled Orc charges the Slaad and stabs him in the back!
Karnov nearly beheads the Slaad. He wounded the Slaad, who rolled a "1" on his To-Save. Which would mean instant kill due to the Decapitate skill of the Barbarian. But it only works on enemies that currently have 4 Health or less. Karnov needs some help to make this happen.
Karnov the Barbarian: Riddle of Steel! Crom hear my prayer or to hell with you!
The "hero archer" kills yet another Orc!This fellow needs to buy a lotto ticket or something.
Mordecai the Butler continues to play the Jedi push game with the Owlbear delaying him again and again.
Mordecai the Butler: Judge me by my size, do you? For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is.
Next post: The conclusion of the Battle of Carn Vorn!
