Gloomhaven Warehouse

The city of Gloomhaven is not always a nice place. The party got pickpocketed by a Vermling, and the attempt to pursue the thief was in vain. Everyone in the party was 5 gold poorer at the end of the encounter.

 

After being warned by Argeise and finding out that the merchant Jekserah is not who she seems, the party decided to head to the Gloomhaven Warehouse. Stepping into Jekserah’s warehouse, a bunch of Living Bones attacked the party.

The first room in this scenario is not that difficult. Despite being protected by the Shield ability, the Living Bones were easily taken care of.

The second room was not too difficult either. Tinder jumped over the trap and got hold of the treasure, while the other two focused on the bunch of Living Corpses.

The thing about this room is that it is a narrow passageway leading to the next door. One had to fight the enemies one at a time, or had to do some jumping to get around them. Range attack was also employed. It was a good thing that the enemies were slow.

With the help of the Summoned Mystic Ally, and some lucky double strike, Weaver was able to kill off the first two Corpses.

With only one Elite Living Corpse left, Brutus was able to move towards it, and killing it was not too difficult.

Tinder summoned a decoy to first spring a trap blocking the passage. The decoy was also used to open the door to the last room, and revealing two Inox Bodyguards. These fellas were tough, and they strike hard!

It was a combination of luck and careful utilization of the cards for the party to successful finish this mission. The tactics employed were:

- Using the Summoned decoy to absorb the first wave of damage from the Inox Bodyguards.

- Weaver turned invisible at the door, and attacked the enemy, at the same time preventing them from getting out of the room.

- With the enemies bunched up at the doorway, Tinder’s Net Shooter ability came in handy and caused damage to both of them.

- Weaver then jumped into the room and used ranged attack on the enemies from the back.

- Brutus moved up and positioned himself at the door to absorb attacks and also to deal out damage as much as he could. The downside to this was that the Inox Bodyguards had strong Retaliate ability, and Brutus took damage till he had 1HP left.

- Tinder stayed at the back to heal and also to do some range attacks when able to.

- The final blow came from Tinder when he used a 5 Attack which took out the final Bodyguard.

With that, the party completed the scenario, unlocked more scenarios, and Weaver and Tinder were able to level up.

Meeting up with Argeise again, she  suggested to the Solo Bunch that they can seek out the help of an Aesther enchanter to help track down the fleeing Jekserah. To do that the party decides to head to the Frozen Hollow...
