Game earlier today in the Catacombs was a blast. I hope that this event or something very similar to it is repeated in the future even with only the 7 participants, even if it were done on just an organized casual level.
For my part, I thought the game was lost early twice. Once when Tul-Bak-Ra (AU) had collected 3 early treasures and when Moltenclaw (dok) had collected 3 treasures.
For the first part, noone really challenged Tul-Bak-Ra in the map center. dok and I traded wounds on the western side of the map where we were set up, and I was loathe to send in Kaemon Awa by himself to deal with Tul-Bak (although I did get two shots at him that I went 0/8 ). Tul-Bak was just 2-3 turns away from getting away with three treasures which likely would have sealed the game.
Once Tul-Bak-Ra went down to Sudema's Stare of Stone, dok clearly had the upper hand with Moltenclaw, who shortly after Tul-ROCK-Ba got stoned, obtained 3 treasures (inculding the teleport). However in the next round Moltenclaw was rocked by Sudema and suddenly the momentum shifted again.
I was pretty confident at that point even though I had no glyphs and had only even held one on OM1 of Round 1(with a 10 move Otonashi who shortly died to a no look mind blast from TBR).
I had a 2 life Wyvern, 3 life Awa, 3 life Mika, and a couple of spiders (neutral) on the board. The next two rounds went incredibly poorly for me though. I had knocked Raelin 2.0 to one life in the previous round, but lost initiative to dok. His whirlwind attack claimed both surrounding spiders and the 3rd wound to my Wyvern. I lost an OM on spiders (risky OM placement). Raelin finished off the Wyvern and I lost a second straight OM. My last turn did have Mika teleport into the center and hit 5 skulls to kill Dysole's MFM.
I loaded up on the 3 life Mika in the next round, but again lost initiatives to the people I didn't want to. Raelin, the bringer of death, swooped in with height and put 2 more wounds on Mika. Then AU's Heriloom Force Orbed Mika for the kill (at least Heirloom took Raelin down too with that attack) I lost all 3 OMs that round, and by the time the next round showed up for Awa, all the treasure glyphs had been claimed. (But I was only in my position due to the grace of the d20 Stare of Stone gods anyway)
Good game, and nice split win for Dysole/AU. Dok and I will need to go back to the heroscape study book to try and improve our shoddy skills
