Frostgrave Perilous Dark: Writhing Fumes

Played a few games of Frostgrave and enjoyed it, got most of the supplement books and  bits, I was happy when the Perilous dark book came out as i have played a few games of the solo Rangers of Shadow deep Solo game. I decided to give the new book a try, i created my  party and  dug out my terrain and miniatures suitable for the  first scenario in the book. Writhing Fumes, The party must get to the other corner of the table and open a door to escape.

30" X 30" table set up using my GW terrain and  my latest addition to my Gala Force  9 desert  rocks and ruins.

Large Vapor snakes  on the spawn points

Huge automation guard the door

The party left to right, Chakari Ranger, Fingers the thief, Mushula the  thug, the wizard Shalla Bel, Lyra the apprentice, Rex the war hound and  Tak the Barbarian. (Dice rolls were as they fall )

The party sets up in the far corner

First move they engage a large Vapor Snake Shalla slows the entity so it stops before them

Fingers and Rex make short work of the   creature.

Shalla advances and is beset by a large and small Vapor snake

The Automatons wander  on guard.

Shalla slays the large Vapor snake and Chakari face the small one

Lyra and Rex come to there aid dispatching the  entity

More snakes  attack and a huge metal automaton charges inot the fight

Combine the party defends against all the enemy's the Automaton smashing to pieces for the blows of  Shalla and  Chakari joined by Mushula, while Tax fends off a large Snake

More small  vapor snakes appear in the spawn points

The second Automaton and large Snake wander close

Tak falls and Lyra is also downed by  a Large Snake, the party is in trouble now

Shalla and fingers are confronted by a snake they fight it off

Chakari and Mushula grab a treasure  box and  hope nothing appears

Another large snake surrounds Shalla and Fingers, he slays one and  turns to dispatch the other

Seeing the second Automation charge at them as he  destroys the Snake  Entity 

The huge metal construct swipes and  smashes into Shall she is  wounded and bloody by the blows it raises to finish her off , but she finds the weak spot and  destroys the  magic holding it together, ( she rolled a 20 to its 4)

It crumbles like the last Shalla staggering on to the door way

Joined by the rest of her party they fend of  Vapor snakes as the hope to reach the door way

Rex charges and rips apart a snake  near the door way

The party  sees the door way perhaps they will survive

Rex is charged and again destroys a small Vapor snake

But is slain by one appearing behind him.

The party  avenge there faithful hound

Shalla reaches the door and strike hard

It opens and they see the chance of escape

leaving the  temple, Victory!

After game  rolls and  treasure, Tak the Barbarian will have to heal till after the next game to return, Lyra and Rex unfortunately succumbed to there wounds and  , have to be replaced.

View: A good game the sole mechanics work  excellent and it is not easy to win this, excellent addition with loads of scope for many adventures, a good fun game...
