Tonight's Quest - Blood of Heroes encounter 1 (Act 2)

By jimjim19681968, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

As Overlord I am looking for any advise for tonight's game.

I was looking forward to Act 2 as I get beefed up. But here I seem very week; only Goblin Archers and one open group to collect blood samples from the heroes.

The heroes are;Grisban the Thirsty (berserker), Dezra the Vile (Necromancer), Logan Lashley (thief), Syndrael (Beastmaster). Grisban is the toughest. He's got 18 HP (Brute card).

I think I will be lucky to get just one sample off the map, let alone 4. Looks like it will be a quick game too.

What does the community think I should do?

Kind regards.

The heroes destroyed me the last time I played this quest. My advice is limit their ability to search. Play the long game here.

I'm thinking Kobolds and Dash to get a first hit (in this encounter Heroes miss first turn).

Doesn't this quest also have ettins throwing boulders?

No, it doesn't.

The game was last night. I managed to get one blood sample off the map. Then the Necromancer used "Army of the Dead" and took out nearly everyone.

The heroes kept one monster alive while they got the search items.
