Zombicide Black Plague

[Noisysteve]

Quest 1 and 2

Tonight was the night we would take the fight to the zombie horde.
Paul had Garak the Orc, and Marcus the Mighty, a failed wizard.
Adam had Julian, a cunning thief.
Ritz choose Redcap Rodney, an executioner.
I choose Silas the Elf and Ysabel , a farmers wife.
Our first mission was to find the Necromancers lair, kill him and his creation, the Abomination.
Things went very smoothly, even when two Necromancers appeared together. No Necromancer managed to escape us as we killed them all.It did help that both Garak and Rodney were able to kill Abominations very early in the game. Soon we had the lair found, and Abomination killed along with his master. Job done, no casualties, only Julian, Ysabel, and Rodney with any scratches.
Quest 2 was to get the keys to some locked rooms , so that we could steal a black book, and maybe learn how this zombie invasion came about.
The early stages saw plenty of zombie deaths, our team was getting quite good at facing anything.
Then the Wolfz appeared, very fast, very deadly. We was now at a higher threat level, so when zombies spawned, they spawned many. Also Necromancers appeared, and then different abominations. We were very outnumbered now, and started taking the occasional wound. Marcus let rip with a crossbow, hitting everything in the zone, including Julian and Ysabel!
Now things were getting hairy, and to best counter the threat, against our better judgement, we split up. Rodney, Silas and Garak went to stop the Wolfz pack, leaving Marcus, Ysabel and Julian to explore the underground vaults.
Silas and Garak were forced back by the mounting zombie horde, Rodney getting trapped in a small building.
Ysabel and Marcus got into the vault, but unfortunately Julian got trapped and killed.
Ysabel was then killed escaping the vault.
Silas and Garak fought their way back into the vault building, Marcus set fire to some dragon bile, clearing a load of zombies. Marcus also found a healing spell which could heal or resurrect a fellow survivor.
Unfortunately that was where time ran out. Rodney in one building, fireballing anything that came near, Silas, Marcus, and Garak in another, also meeting any and all challenges. All we needed to do was get one survivor to the red threat level, and with additional time I think we would have achieved that easily.

Another great game, featuring heroic deeds, missed opportunities and hard decisions.

Next time, quest 3, so another team needs assembling.
