Down the Barrow Lair again

After the defeat last time round, the Solo Bunch entered the Barrow Lair again. This time, with an intense focus on killing the Bandit Commander first before he can summon too many skeletons or open too many doors.



This time round, Brutus timed his move and did a huge combo attack using Leaping Cleave and Balanced Measure, and augmented that with wearing the Boots of Striding. This power move was enough to kill the Bandit Commander, just after he opened the second door. Not too shabby.

All that is left is to clean up the remaining Living Bones and Living Corpses.

Of course, that’s easier said than done. The Living Bones drew self-heal a couple of times, making it tough to kill. And with the Elite Living Corpse lumbering towards Brutus, he was almost on the brink of exhaustion and was Immobilized and Muddled, losing precious time.

Eventually, a Shield Bash stunned the Elite Living Corpse. And subsequently his demise.

Still, the remaining Living Bones’ luck held out. Two self-heal in a row meant that it was a tough opponent. With Brutus eventually getting exhausted and was out of the fight.

Thankfully, Weaver had her Frost Armour on and was able to absorb damage and also did a Flame Strike to finish it off.

With that the party limped out of the Lair, and back to Gloomhaven.



Next stop... the Inox Encampment in the Dagger Forest. But first... Weaver can level up... and perhaps a new member can join the Solo Bunch?
