So tonight we had another go at the Icon of Ravenloft with Cleric and Mage.... Victory!!The game went fairly clockwork. I did draw two Gargoyles in a row and then later 3 Ghouls in a row (argh what shuffling) who were the heavy hitters, but thankfully no sign of Wraiths the whole game. No Blazing Skeletons either (though after the game I checked the monster deck and TWO were the next two cards).
So I did quite well on monster draw.
No environments, yay. I did get a Crossbow turret and also an Alarm trap. So traps were about.
When I got to the Chapel, both heroes had only 1HP left and I had 1 healing surge, didnt look good, but the cleric had skills. The monster draw was a wolf and a kobold skirmisher, pretty weak draw so that was good, but the encounter card draw was Animated Armour which attacked both heroes killing both, eek both down for the count.
At the start of the clerics hero stage he uses the last healing surge and gets up. Then he uses his Healing Word to resurrect the mage, so we are both back up. He then decides to move-and-attack, so moves to the altar and attacks the wolf, wolf dies (and adds a HP to the mage due to clerics ability). The clerics hero phase ends on the altar, so he picks up the icon, good stuff!! Villain phase and "Frenzy" means my monsters do two attacks... but the clerics monster was the wolf, hehe, who is dead... while the kobold is controlled by the mage so hasnt yet attacked aha! So the encounter does nothing.
So the mage turn starts and we already have the icon in-hand and only a little kobold in the way. The mage blows it appart with magic and we win the game huzzah!
End result, no healing surges left and Mage on 4hp Cleric on 4hp. Mage also had two unsused lucky charm treasure cards in hand two, so quite a comfortable victory :)
Whole game, only cancelled one encounter card (using the mages ability) so we had a lot of unspent XP by the end too (always seemed to need it during clerics turn ut mage earnt most of it. End XP was Cleric 4 yet mage 14.... the mage does a lot of killing!
So a fun game, quite eventful, though not as tense as the last... but when both heroes were down it was a scary moment.
So what next? Replay this adventure with a different team?... or onto Adventre 3 with this team?? Not sure yet :)
