Revised Song of Blades and Heroes Pan vs Dionysus follow-on.

 

"My Lord!  They are arrayed against us!" 

"Who?  The quivering flagelents of Krum?  The Dogmen of Urbania?  The Ultramagazombies?"  

"Worst my Lord - 'tis the very dice themselves!

"Doomed!  Doomed! And thrice Doomed!  


Another difficult one.  But there were several shattered units on one flank that could have the makings.


Conveniently 3 human javelins, 3 cyclops clubbers and 3 cyclops rock throwers.

In 1890 they had REAL fast food!



The game.  We played during a thunderstorm and it's definitely affected the quality of the light

A campsite, survivors gather.



I randomly distributed the defenders.


Lo, the pursuers come.


Yes, these are different rolls.  Just same result.



Contagious, but then I get one!  Just one-.  Doggy goes a-hunting.


At last a half decent result and a group push.


Doggy gets shot and downed.



Surging forward.








Now, at last, my rock throwers take on archers at close range and do well.


Clubbers clobber!  A gory death disrupts the pursuers.


Check the dog out!


The centaur rallies her troops.


Shooting & combat, I lose 2!


One satyr goes down.


Another satyr goes down to a rock.  Everything is balanced--.


Sneaking around the back.


Now the centaur gets in on the act.  A running blow brings one cyclops low.


Another shot down.




Another running blow then on to the leader!



Another goes down to a satyr charging down hill.


And another!


Outnumbered, the leader goes down!



The remnant scatters.


Everyone converges for the final showdown.


Another satyr goes down to a rock.


The centaur sends one cyclops reeling.


Outnumbered, the result you want.  A dead result.




A reaction.  cyclops gets it, has dashing - down hill and smashes into the centaur.  Probably breaking her back- 


More disperse.


Revenge, 1 shot down and 1 cut down.


"Masher" takes on a satyr.



"Masher" gets bundled.  Rolls a 1.  -1 for 2nd opponent makes a massive 2.  A gory death-.




One gets shot, one runs for it--


One man and his demon dog.  Could make a film!  So the pursuers, leaderless are successful.
Good game!  Despite the bleep dice rolls.
