OD Quest
As Sam just purchased an earlier edition of this Game it reminded
me that I posted up a Session Report back in 2011 for the FFG 2010 edition. It's a brutal Game for a Hero so I made my Avatar play it-he lasted 20 turns which is very good for that Game. ----------------------------------------------------------- I just purchased DQ having passed it up as I already had WHQ,HQ & Advanced HQ and frankly FFG Terrinoth Game World leaves me rather unimpressed. I do enjoy Runebound and once I discovered Midnight the non Terrinoth Runebound expansion,I've used it for for all my RB Gaming. DQ is my type of Game however & it looked good but I never pulled the trigger until a discussion of the Game over on TZG about how brutal it was for the Heroes made me think of Midnight. So it was a short step to re-fluff DQ to a Midnight Background as one of Midnights Villains was a Night King who was a dragon and laid down my plastic. This Session is my first solo game and as I tied it into Midnight I also did a few back story references to OD last Midnight Adventure for the true Masochist among you a Link is provided that will explain Zardax reasons to be upset with OD and why Taris Goodwater set him up. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/4683...tod-part-i http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/4736...dpart-i... Oh this is in mu usual Fluff heavy style but once OD gets into the Dungeon every paragraph is a game turn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ring...Ring..Rin..Hello Babe.. Dwarfie here....er....er..Sorry Boss I thought you were someone else. It doesn't matter,and it's just a kind of nickname and besides Avatars are entitled to a little R&R.So whats up? A new Mission,well it has been awhile....so what have you got me into this time?At least it can't be worst than the Midnight Mission. What's that,you want me to go back to Midnight,NO WAY, it's a death trap,I was lucky to get out last time! There are some serious crazies in that Game World. Oh it's not really Midnight,but it's going to be Midnight, Boss this conversation is giving me a headache.This is one of your game mash ups isn't it?Can't you just play a damn game & let it go at that? Sigh......OK fill me in,the game is DungeonQuest but you've change the background from Terrinoth Runebound's World to Eredane,in Runebound Midnight Expansion.You know if you upped your Social Life a bit we could avoid stuff like this. Yes I'm still listening.....I'm your Avatar,so it's not like I have a Choice .So you feel the rational of DungeonQuest better fits into a Midnight setting as a player is basically doomed and it's all a matter of seeing how far you get before getting killed. Boss your not giving me much positive feedback here,exactly what do I have to do? Enter a Dungeon,grab treasure...well so far it sounds good, but what is the catch?Traps & Monsters try to stop me... well I guess that's to be expected,A time limit,I have to get out before nightfall or I'm toast! No final battle,I just get eaten!...your right it's Midnight. For the record who eats me?.....Zardrix !!!!!!!! BOSS that Dragon hates me,I was chased all over Eredane by her minions,then I busted up her mirrors.That chick has major issues with me. You know they say Puerto Rico is a cool Game maybe just for once you might consider buying something that isn't going to put me in harms way. I thought not...yes I know,I know I'm an Avatar so I have no choice.Just give me a couple of days to sharpen my axe. Wait a minute,I just get dumped outside this Dungeon & wait for it to open?It seems like there must be a back story as to why I'm doing this...something noble to befit a Dwarf of my stature ....Very funny Boss you know what I mean. So let me understand this old Zardrix gets off by requiring that once a year one of her subject races must provide a champion to dare her Dungeon.Well it's hardly original but I guess it will do.So I'm the Dwarf Champion.....No! it's the year for the Gnomes to put up someone and they select me?Why?? It was Taris Goodwater's suggestion!!...Eru I knew I should have sent flowers or at least called,women you show them a good time and they think it's a relationship. Dawn.....Well this place is a rather depressing dump,I guess I'll try the SW Tower as it's the closest. I have a few minutes before this place opens for business, so I better do a last supply check:..Canteen of Beer,check, ..Axe check,..Trail Mix,check,..Toilet Paper,check,Teleport Rune,check ..Damn forgot a flash light!Oh well too late now I'll just make up a torch,at least I remembered to bring matches. Hey,the doors are opening,Show time. Eru,this place musty I'll just head North along the wall and then cut over to the Treasure Chamber that suppose to be in the center of this place. So far so good just an empty room but wait what this? Well I'll be a Bottle Imp..nice my Granny use to have one of these. Well lets have a look-see for something else...ah here's something ....BLAM!!!!...Damn an exploding trap & I just lost 4 life points(16 left) plus a turn . This is only my first room,I better watch the searching bit. Let me get out of here,the room only opens to the east so onward..oh,no the place is caved-in...but hey coins, gold coins..lets see 5..11....25...32..39..40 gold coins,not bad. So no point in going back,I'll try climbing over all this rubble....can't do it,just sliding back down. Gotta keep trying..maybe if I can sort of crawl along I can get some traction.YES made it into a corridor that heads East.its bending North...a bit of luck,I'm headed toward the Treasure Chamber. Crap a Portcullis!!!! Lets see if I can budge this baby...ung..ung..UNG...got it.Well..well more gold coins ,this keeps getting better & better...11.16.. 22...28..30.Wow if this keeps up I can buy my own Avatar. The corridor still going north & into another room.hmmmm stairs down,this place must have Catacombs & whats this? A potion bottle,I've seen this stuff before,very unstable but it's valuable once I get out of here. OK call me optimistic but I think I can use the catacombs to slip into the Treasure Chamber on the sly.I'll just go down.. great it's headed East....No my torch went out & it's twenty shades of Black. Lets see..these matches are a tad old..oops dropped it. Ouch!...well that one was OK but it burnt out Another dud...this is getting serious,that Sun timer is moving on and I'm getting nowhere. OK..got it..finally I can move on..Rumble...Rumble.. double crap I blundered into a trap & set off a cave in. This is not good,I can't get through the rubble but maybe if I try my crawling method. Yes..made it....damn nearly stumbled over this chest. What Luck..A Treasure Chest,now if I can just find a way out of these Catacombs. Fitt..fitt..fitt...Eru,another trap..a crossfire of arrows. My armor stopped at least half of them but I still picked up 5 more wound points(11 left). Moving forward..woosh..cough,sputter....poison gas! 3 more life points(8 left) at least I can keep going. Zap! damn I didn't see that Troll coming,I'm sucker punched and down another 4 life points(4 left).Well bring it on big boy...come on & get some really pissed off Dwarf. ...I grab a hand full of rocks & nail the troll (Barrage 4) the Troll staggers back but is able to throw a rock at me (Quick Shot 1) I dodge easily and put 1 hit on the big ugly. ...Play time is over I bring on the Axe for a Cleaving Blow(3) The Troll puts a flaming torch(Fire Blast 3) to me and I Counterattack with 3 quick blows,which bring my hits to 4 and drop the Troll. That's it the Sun Timer is at 19 I can't fool around in these Catacombs any longer.I was saving this but as I need to exit now I'm using my Teleport Rune. I'm taken to a Catacomb Entrance Room...that's rather ironic. Well lets see what goes with this room....What th.. Razorwings..oh shi....4 life points (0 left) OD fell on the 20th turn.I had wanted to get him to the Treasure Chamber before trying to Exit the Dungeon. This being the first Game I wanted to try the Catacombs when the chance came up. Lesson learned making test on Dwarf Agility or Luck is a problem. But as to OD fear not gentle reader,Avatars can't be killed. True It's no walk in the park and he'll be moody for awhile. cry in his beer a bit,but I'm sure his competitive nature will return him to seek vengeance on this Dungeon.

RE: OD Quest
Haha a funny read. My favourite line was, 'come on & get some really pissed off Dwarf.' Yes, it does sound random and brutal. I weirdly like the sound of it!

RE: OD Quest
I think you''ll enjoy it the above Game was my longest survival all other plays have wham, Bang outta there in 5 or less turns.
One draw back it's a lot to set up just to be eliminated in a few turns but it's fun. OD Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,— Wailing for the lost one that comes not again: |
