Lost Construct AKA Find the Golem

-

Having suffered defeat in their last adventure, the Pact took the chance to rest and recover. However, the Pact were short on Hirelings and Silver.

Before they could continue with their campaign, they needed to make some money fast. Freddo headed to the Mercado to look for any jobs going. Fortunately, he saw a parchment nailed to a board. Ripping the parchment off the board, Freddo ran back to the rest of the Pact.


The Mission Parchment
Another wizard had created an Iron Golem. Unfortunately for him, his golem had run off and subsequently gone missing. As a result, the Wizard was offering a reward for its safe return.

The missing Iron Golem
Turn 1

Spending the last of their Silver on two D6 Hirelings, the Pact set off to look for the errant golem. Arriving in the area where the golem had been seen, the pact split up to search for it.

Unfortunately, this area was known to be patrolled by Orcs (D10), Goblins (D8) and Giant Ants (D6). Sure enough, Giant Ants and Goblins appeared.

 
Turn 2
 
Giant Ants and Goblins deployed, and immediately one group set off to defend the nearest objective. The other group deployed in the middle of the table and sought to attack the nearest Pact members. Although Gimme managed to successfully defend, one of the D6 Hirelings died at the hands of a Giant Ant.
 
 
Turn 3
 
More Giant Ants arrived and set about attacking Legolan. The Elf fortunate to survive.
 
 
The remaining D6 Hireling gave his life to protect Freddo.

 
Gimme used 'Blood Rage' to exact revenge on the enemy.
 
 
Turn 4
 
Having identified which ruin the golem was hiding in, it was a race to claim it before the Giant Ants and Goblins overwhelmed the Pact. 

Gimme decided to use Ruark's Horn. This healed all the Pact members of one wound and effectively stunned the enemy. This action allowed Gandwarf to move towards the golem.
 
 
Turn 5
 
Orcs now started to appear. Trying to protect Gandwarf's flank, Gimmi and Legolan found themselves in the thick of a vicious melee.
 
 
Turn 6
 
Gimme and Legolan continued to melee in the centre, attracting numerous enemies into combat.
 
 
Freddo tried to do his bit, before being charged down by an Orc
 
 
Turn 7
 
Entering the last turn and the situation was looking dicey. With Orcs surrounding him, Gandwarf successfully cast 'Superior Arcane Evasion'. Grabbing the golem, he teleported away from the Orcs and his free movement to move towards the table edge. Making a D8 roll, Gandwarf successfully exited the table and successfully completed the adventure.
 
 
 
Epilogue
 
Another tight game, that could have quite easily gone either way. The use of Ruark's Horn, providing the opportunity for the Pact to win.

Gandwarf managed to cast 2 spells and eliminated 7 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins. Freddo the Halfling used 2 potions and eliminated 5 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins as well. Despite spending most of the game in melee, Gimme managed to kill 2 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins. Proving ineffective again, Legolan killed 1 Giant Ant and 3 Goblins.

With the return of the Golem, Gandwarf was given the Adder's Kiss enchanted dagger. Enough silver was gained for each Pact member to each have a D10 Hireling and a D8 Hireling. Also, 4 Tokens were discovered and shared amongst the Pact members.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the ...

Massacre at Briar's Bend - A Fistful of Lead Game

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". This time, Marshal Bill and his Posse get to have a rest, as for this scenario, it is Native American Braves versus the US Cavalry. A Cavalry patrol has set up camp amongst some rocks by a river. The Cavalry are armed with (not so trusty) carbines and pistols. In this scenario, if a carbine suffers a '1' when shooting, the player rolls a dice and if the result is odd, then suffers an additional 'out of ammo' token. The Braves start in two group of 5, in the opposite corners not covered by woods. To add a bit of drama to the game, the game length would only be determined at the start of Turn 6. Rolling a D10, a result of 1-6 would mean the game lasts 6 turns, any other result would the number of turns the game lasts. The Campsite The Braves on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the riv...

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...
