Lost Island

In Gloomhaven, a pie-eating contest is going on and with nothing else better to do, the party took part. The opponents are large sailors who seemed like they could win. The party powered through the pain of digging into pie after pie, and the sailors eventually conceded. However, the party felt so sick after that all they could do is lie down. A checkmark is lost, but at least they gained 10 gold each and gained 1 reputation.

The party decided to causally head over to the Lost Island, one of the undiscovered ones in the Misty Sea. Hopefully there are some riches on this one. Approaching the small island, the party saw a derelict ship. After landing on the beach, the party was attacked immediately by Vermlings. Lots of them.

As the Vermlings attacked, 2 Cave Bears advanced from a distance to join in the fight. While dealing with the approaching Bears, Brutus was able to sneak in the use of the Doomed Compass to control the Vermling Shaman into a damage trap. This helped to reduce the Shaman threat on the island. 

After dealing with the enemies on the beach, the party entered the wreck of the ship. What greeted them was more Vermlings, and a horde of treasure that were scattered all around.

Dispatching the Vermling Scouts were not too difficult. Moving deeper into the derelict ship, the party encountered more Vermlings. This time there were 2 Shamans in the mix. 

Tinder’s Disintegration Beam came in handy here. In one attack, it took out an Elite Vermling Scout, a Normal Scout, and an Elite Shaman.

The plan to have a more attacking Tinkerer certainly paid off here. 

Moving into the final area, all the party needed to do was simply to clear out the remaining enemies. Brutus did a Fatal Advance on the Cave Bear, while the rest of the party cleaned up the room without much difficulty, and even looted the treasure chest to open a random scenario.

With the end of the scenario, it seems that Brutus has finally achieved his Personal Quest of being a Battle Legend by earning 15 checkmarks from completed battle goals...
