Honour Amongst Thieves (D2E Quest 2)

[Virral]

A string of thefts litters the trail toward the dwarf known as Raythen, the lone survivor of the Dunwarr expedition massacre. From what you've heard, the man is an untrustworthy sort, but his experience in the ruins of Sudanya may prove vital to your efforts.

The trail leads you to a broken encampment crawling with foul creatures. They appear to be looking for something, and you quickly discover to your dismay that an individual fitting Raythen's description is imprisoned in a cage at the edge of the camp, sitting on a wagon and waiting for transport. Sneaking up for a closer look, the mechanism looks quite complex, and you doubt your ability to crack it without assistance.

Luckily, various hooded individuals appear to have been left alone by the creatures. They watch from the shadows as the encampment is torn apart in the search. Perhaps the shadowy figures are former comrades of the ruffian you seek, and perhaps they know something of the cage mechanism.

Perhaps they'll even tell you... for a price.

Monsters:
Goblin Witchers, Volucrix Reavers, Open Group (Merriods)

Special Rules:
The Question Mark Tokens are Thieves to be questioned. 4 have the information you seek, and the other 4 are Monsters in disguise (Volucrix Reavers, 3 Minions and 1 Master).

To question a Thief, an adjacent hero must use an action. At that point, pause what you're doing and I'll roll to see if you've found information you need or a Volucrix Reaver. If you find a Reaver, it gets one free action immediately which I will take before you continue.

Cracking the Code:
In the tabletop version, there is a mechanic where finding information forces me to show you part of the code for a second before hiding it again, and you can then attempt to guess the full code while standing on the exit. I can also remove some of your guesses if I knock out two heroes at the same time.

Instead, we'll play it that you need to find three of the four pieces of info, and get one hero to the exit (G14 or G15).

No Time To Waste:
At the end of the Sixth Overlord turn, it will be the end of the mission. The Heroes will have one final turn to attempt to find enough information and get to the exit, but will not be allowed to recover health or stamina, hit search spots and so on. Treat this as a free "last chance" turn to get what you need before Raythen is dragged away in his cage. If you succeed during this free turn it'll be considered a pass, not as good as a full victory but you'll get some advantage from it.

Down For The Count:
If 2 Heroes are ever knocked out at the same time, the number of information tokens you need to find will rise to four. This replaces the rule which cuts back the number of guesses you can make each time it happens in the tabletop version.

Reinforcements:
At the start of each Overlord turn, I may place one Goblin Witcher on the Waterfall, respecting group limits.

Victory Conditions:

To Win, you must find a sufficient number of information tokens and reach the exit before the end of my sixth turn.
To Pass, you must find what you need and exit on the seventh "free" turn.
To Lose, you must fail to do that stuff I just said.

Win/Pass/Lose will have an impact on the second half of this encounter.

[Virral]

You find a MINION VOLUCRIX!

HE takes a Skirmish Action, attacking Avric:

Attack: Damage 2, Pierce 2, 1 Surge Wasted vs 3 Defence = 1 Damage.

He then retreats to A3.

Carry on folks

[redcard]

uh ah mr overlord try again no retreat for u
skirmish says move then attack not attack then move

[redcard]

so use last stamina to brew myself an elixir

then attack reaver in d3
blue green and grey 6,4,4 http://orokos.com/roll/178978
2 dmg 2 surge vs 1 def use surges to add 3 dmg = 5 dmg vs 1 def = dead reaver

even if you did move

[Virral]

Pause for now will sort this out at home time (ive got a card to use and want to double check volucrix thing)

[Virral]

Guys, if you're going to change your start positions, try talking to each other huh? I want all four starting positions confirmed before you guys start moving in future, assuming you don't like where I've placed you.

Starting Position G1

start in g1

Reynhard in G1 (he called dibs), Avric in F1, Jain in F0, Quellen in G0.

[Virral]

I play Uncontrolled Power on Avric, testing Willpower.

Test Willpower: MASSIVE FAIL!

I choose to spend one surge on Suffer 1 Fatigue (which translates into Damage because you got no stamina left).

I have to spend the other Surge on Poison. That means the attack does 1 Damage plus Poison. Volucrix is on 2 health and poisoned.

[OneEye]

Guys, if you're going to change your start positions, try talking to each other huh?

Dunno what more I could have done really. I followed the plan suggested and even put it in bold at the beginning of my turn...

[redcard]

it was me mate dun worry just didnt read and assimilate

[redcard]

so either way he is dead you just wanted to do 1 damage to me ?

and if thats the case ill skull my elixir to regain health

i cant get onto orkos so virral whenever roll a red dice

[Virral]

How is he dead? He has two health left which will drop to one on my turn. Sure he dies next turn, but in the meantime he gets one attack in unless someone else finishes him off first (and yes, it cost you a hit point).

You still want to drink that elixir?

[redcard]

hell yeah i do
so he will be on 1 hp
after he activates
damn you and your surge cards grrrr

[Virral]

Avric recovers 2 health

Next player can start now
