Hello fellow adventurers!I am playing the Shadow Rune campaign with friends again and am preparing myself (OL) for the upcoming 2nd Encounter in the Death on the Wing quest.
So as I was looking through all my my monster options I stumbled over the Broodwalker, especially the master monster's skill "Hive Defense" picked my interest.
The quest setup clearly states:
"The villager tokens are guards. Treat them as hero figures with the exception... ...no healing... ...immune to all conditions... ...pass any tests..."
When activated, each guard moves directly toward the closest monster. If he ends his movement adjacent to to it, he performs an attack targeting it."
--> Hive Defense - "Heroes treat each space adjacent to this monster as a Hazard space."
--> Hazard = Lava: "...A figure entering a space containing lava/hazard immediately suffers one damage. Any figure that ends it turn in a lava/hazard space is immediately defeated.
Strategy:
So my strategy would be to place the master Broodwalker right next to the cabin and let the guards move + attack it not caring how much damage they deal to it as they should be defeated considering that they are:
1) Treated as hero figures
2) Heroes treat adjacent spaces of the master Broodwalker as Hazards
3) They move DIRECTLY TOWARDS (so never away!), attack and thus end their turn there standing in the Hazard
4) Get defeated for ending their turn in the Hazard.
Am I wrong here misinterpreting the rules/setup of this quest?
Because this would easily defeat 2 guards in turn one without any effort.
What do you think?
Cheers,
