The delve. Ist skirmish
Standing at the entrance to the underground passage Gor said 'There is magic here. Be careful'.
Reaction test 1x2 Islorus takes the first phase move
Islorus shrugged and entered the passage (reaction phase 1x2).
Somewhere inside a presence had been felt. A wraith glided towards the entrance.
The rest of the party entered the passage unawares they had set in motion ancient, protective spirits.
Reaction test, 1x1, 2x2, 3x3. Five go in the first phase. Jack goes in the second
Njal advanced and stumbled into the wraith. He cut twice with his axe and the wraith seemed drained (wraiths have 3 monster points, MP. It was down to 1MP). His third attempt didn't seem to affect it and it retreated a step (drew attack, defender retreats)
The rest of the party, except Jack, move further in, Gar behind Njal. The others in the other passage.
The unseen wraiths move towards the party.
The wraith attacks Njal. Loses its first attack but Njals axe fails to harm it (he beat the armour rating but scored equal or less on the toughness. Therefore it doesn't cause any injury). The wraith is unfazed. Njal strikes again, and again his axe fails to injure the wraith.
But the wraith is quick and causes a wound on Njal and he backs away (3rd combat and they part)
Jack moved up to support Gar and Njal.
Reaction test 3x1 Islorus, Gar and Njal go in the first phase.
Islorus attacks the wraith facing him, and is wounded for his troubles. He fights back and though he bests the wraith he inflicts no damage (failed toughness) Neither can penetrate the others defences and the wraith steps back as though gauging his opponent.

Our journey into Melgarda province
Hi!
I'm back!
With my band of followers we set off to Ebaracum, into Melgarda province (using the Forbidden Lands map), to deliver the letter entrusted to me.
We crossed the Tender and due to the terrain and winding paths, were quite lost. We set up camp. Fortuitously, a peasant came by and confirmed we were heading in the right direction after all. He then asked us if we would keep an eye out for a trinket, lost enroute from Ebaracum to his village, Swillsville. It was the village idol, and was considered the village good luck totem. I said we would. Having described it, he went on his way.
(This was the end of turn 1. No other activities).
Turn 2
(S1) Having set up camp, something drew our attention whilst collecting firewood. It seemed unusual to my eye,
(S2) Upkeep, no cost (See following)
(S3) It was agreed we would live off the land (offsets upkeep costs). I sent Jack and Islorus to hunt, but little was found in the area.
(4) No trade in the wilderness.
We spent the night in peaceful slumber, each taking a turn at guard duty. The morning broke early. We broke fast and discussed our options, whether to continue our journey or explore what we had seen the night before.
5) Due to its interesting nature, we decided to explore what we had seen the night before.
(6) Being unencumbered by none essentials, we donned the equipment we each owned and set off to investigate
Hacking back the bushes that partially hid it, we found a tunnel (delve). Was it an old mine or something else?
We stepped into it, swords drawn.

Undone!
Hi!
Packed all my things including 5 Leagues and 5 Parsecs and found I don't actually have room for all I want to take.
Totally disappointed.
So, 5 Leagues will be at home and on the back burner until mid-February.
I'm obviously as bad at planning as the Russian military.

Wood Elves
Hi!
Having a grand total of one elf I thought I'd put that right. I bought two more, wood elves.
Both from Forlorn Hope Games (forlornhopegames.co.uk). As you can see one is bow armed and the other a bard with lyre and sword.
Just what a hero needs, someone to sing songs of your heroic deeds.
I'm thinking of using the bard as the fey character. I'll decide when the map is done
Thanks' for dropping by.
