Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
The Hydra's Lair Room 2
The river of blood rushes back towards the stair with a torrent of speed. Mired in shadow, the Hydra’s lair sits atop a perch of rock that tell all who enter who controls this area. Your enemies lie at your feet. One badly injured drow still draws breath. He uses that breath to curse you in his native tongue. You press him for information about the bodies floating out into the lake, but he expires with a final hiss. At least, you thought the hissing came from him-but there it is again. You stand and follow the river as it curves sharply to the left. As you move ahead, the hissing becomes louder. Just beyond an outcropping of rock you catch a glimpse of writhing snake like necks and heads. It is a hydra! And you have crossed into its lair. The river gurgles to your left; it is moving faster here. A scream bursts forth from the hydra’s many throats, drowning out the sound of the rushing river. The monster has spotted you, and its screams have summoned its minions. Summary: Goal: Destroy all of your opponent’s figures. Special Rules:
Any figure that ends its turn on a water space must roll a 20-sided die. For Squad figures, only figures that were activated on that turn are affected. If you roll a 1-4, that figure receives 1 wound from the traces of acid in the water. Note: The River of Blood takes effect after all end of turn powers have resolved.
CAMPAIGN CONTINUES: If at least one of Player 1’s figures survives the battle, and all of Player 2’s figures have been destroyed, you may continue the campaign by playing River of Blood: Room 3.

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
Continued from room 1.
My son started with Wyvern x1 Spiders x2 -2 figures Morgrimm Darrak Tandros DM army: PK x2 Hydra Sahugin Raider This one was closer. It came down to a 3 life Hydra and full life Morgrimm. We battled back and forth for a couple of rounds. I kept pegging away at his life till he was at 1 and then he took 2 heads in one shot. My next OM I rolled 3 skulls and he only got 2 shields. His campaign has ended. A new Valkyrie is BORN!!! Muahahaha! Guess I'm getting back into Scape |

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
I played this months ago and inadvertantly discovered a potential strategy. If you send the Hydra for a glyph in the river and set off a trap, he (she?) will float down the river and immediately engage the heroes in their start zone, potentially wreaking havoc. Heroes should beware of this possibility and not place support figures (Raelin, etc.) next to the river in the start zone.
If you don't set off the glyph trap, well then your hydra has a nice glyph. |

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
I could see the EI + Kovia doing pretty well in this scenario. All that stealth flying is very useful in the smallish rooms to avoid the spikes and the river.
Kovia - 90 Eix2 - 280 KA - 120 Otonashi - 10 TOTAL - 500 / 9 spaces... I'm going to try this out for sure once I set up the RoB! Looking for quality maps for 3+ players? Think your latest map-masterpiece deserves a place of honor? Join in the discussion of The War-zones of Valhalla It doesn't get any more classic than this: The C3V project |

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
Continued from Room One:
Army One: Nilfhiem 185 Jotun 410 Kelda 490 Otonashi 500 versus Hydra 120 Feral Troll x2 300 Pretty basic strategy here. The trolls would try and wound a bunch of people, and maybe take out Kelda(They eventually did), and then the hydra would finish everyone off. The plan started to go off without a problem for the villains, and then Jotun, fully healed by Kelda, began beating the trolls into the ground. Jotun, Otonashi, and Nilfhiem faced down the hydra, which had moved into a better position while the trolls were being slaughtered. The hydra put about three wounds on Nilfhiem, and three on Jotun, before being finished off. Otonashi actually managed to grab BOTH glyphs(Ring of Protection and Whetstone). Army Two: SotM heroes. versus Hydra 120 Stingers x2 240 Nagrubs x2 300 (dropped two Nagrubs) Second Wind brough Raelin back with four wounds, and Shiori back with two. More marro for the heroes to fight. The Nagrubs advanced as a screen, but didn't last long against combined fire from Q10 and Sonlen, who eventually healed two of Raelin's wounds. The stingers advanced next, and eventually put two wounds BACK onto Raelin, and wounded Q10 once, but Q10 was healed. The hydra rushed in while Sonlen was grabbing the glyphs. It took out Q10, Raelin, Shiori, and left both Drake AND Sonlen with 3 life left each. The glyphs were the heroic rune and the speed potion. Drake and Sonlen staggered to their feet, and wearily pressed onwards. Your curiosity will be the death of you....

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
The lil' one continues by second winding Drake with 3 wounds on him.
I figured I'd give her a challenge so I put Zombiesx3 with the Hydra. She started by taking a quick turn and healing Drake via Ana. It worked and she sent him out on a suicide mission. The Hydra grabbed the two glyphs in the water and tore apart Darrak. In the end it was only Q10 and Ana who survived. The rest of them are on Second wind next room. I wonder how she'll use her 3 glyphs of attack+1(I'm still glad I just bought 2 more cases of MS3) But that is tomorrow's game and my table is all set for the next bout! My customs.

Re: Official Scenario: RoB The Hydra's Lair Room 2
I just defeated Braxas and Jotun in room 2. Used Hydra, Goblins x2 and Blue Wyrms x2. While Jotun went for TGs, I used my first round to set the Goblins to high ground to shield the Hydra(if Player 1 wants to continue the campaign, he has to come to you). Used Goblins to wound Jotun while Braxas Acid Breathed the Goblins. Then kept the Hydra on highground to finish Jotun and then Braxas.
Continued from room 1- I barely survived this time. My son had Warforged x2, Hydra, Isamu and Onitasha. He took out Rhogar, Heirloom and Iron Golem. I had to use the Bracers to get one good attack from Heirloom before he died. Managed 3 wounds in one hit. Finished the game using Mika. Second Wind: Iron Golem comes back with full health, Heirloom has 2 wounds and Rhogar has 3. Room 3 Guess I'm getting back into Scape Last edited by xraine69; August 19th, 2010 at 12:13 AM. |
