Frostgrave: Hunt for the Golem - Attack Site

With the eldest boy returned from University and Covid playing havoc with meeting plans we found we had time for a little family Frostgrave.

I was hoping we'd get to play the complete Golem campaign but last minute itinerary changes means it looks like this may in fact be the only game in the Frozen City.

I decided to switch things up and take the Thaumaturge I painted a while ago - the boys stuck with their tried and tested Necromacer (eldest) and Elementalist (younger) - not least because I only recently painted up new models for just such an eventuality.

The site of Golem based destruction. Insufficient corpses (we'd need 15!) meant I used pennies to indicate the mangled entrails of less successful warbands

Gretty Babel thaumat-urges her men into the killing zone.

While her apprentice Lyrna Moy is well protected.

The Necromancer's "kill squad" picked a fight over by the well.

Lyrna wisely kept her distance.

The Elementalist kept finding wounded men. Then ignoring them in favour of more treasure.

"Excuse me while I step over this semi-frozen almost dead bloke"

The  battle was going, ahem, "well" for the Necromancer as Barbra Ian the Barbarian sliced up the Infantryman.

With a thief helpfully pointing out the target the crossbowman took aim.

Meanwhile my Man at Arms was making off with a suit of armour.

Barbra and the Hound have thinned out Gretty's lads.

But the torch-lad holds firm.

 Eventually however he was extinguished.

Meanwhile the Elementalist had run off with most of the treasure - although the Necromancer found the Top Secret Golem Instruction Manual.

A good fun little game - mostly spent remembering how the rules work and looking up spell effects.
