Anmos talks it out with himself, while I do wonder what exactly the incident with the fishing pole is, They must be going for the most embarrassing incident they would never talk about with anyone else.



Look, we already said we're talking this out.



They stare at each others crotches and wonder if their lover will go for a threesome.



Does it matter?



I'm sure there will be no cases of mistaken identity down the line. None at aaaaallllllll.



With the site clear, we establish a tannery, as we are short on hides.



Stop naming everything after doom! It's hurting morale! Also this is the most mountainous map I have ever seen. And the most doomed.



We start to build a bridge.



This allows us to cross into the Gladfairy Birches.



The world continues to get more dangerous.



We assault the Steelbuck Learnings.



Is it a magical splinter? The start of an attack of some monstrous plant?



Waiting for the peril....



It's just a splinter isn't it.



Anmos is really wishing that he'd been the one to go off adventuring at this moment.



It's still just a splinter.



And that was the tale of the splinter. I'm sorry for wasting everyones life. Feel for me who had to edit all these images together.



At least we get a good battle effect for it!



There are some new foes out.



We start outside a tower, we group up on the entrance while Rath grabs control of a boiler.



Yvilde silksteps up and opens the door.



Then sneaks back to the rest of the party.



Rath moves the fire over the Weldling.



The monster of fire goes up in flames.



The Morgathai start to boost each other, but their attacks miss. Then the Spectik walks into the fire and dies.



I try and burn the Watchman, but it avoids the damage.



Anmos leaps forwards, but misses his shot, the Watchman then shoots and injures him.



Ciara takes offence to someone hurting “Her man” and smashes the Sommelier to the ground.



The watchman burns on it's turn then advances.



Anmos leaps forwards and destroys it. Victory is ours – and Anmos levels.



I grab Paladin, increasing his threat range.



Ciara gets more block!



He looks friendly!



We secure the site as we heal.



Getting Yvilde some more armour as we go.



Now all we have to do to complete the chapter is cross the river – though we need to build a bridge first!

Well that was a fairly peaceful meeting with an identical mimic of Anmos.

Also, he seems to remember his childhood just fine in that event, maybe the amnesiac past thing is just a bunch of bunk he made up.

Our heroes begin to carve a path through to the Morgathai stronghold.



But they are interrupted by an incursion – incursions are monster attacks, they start on a countdown, which is pushed up every time you win a fight – I've done pretty well in keeping on top of this, but cutting through a mountain takes to much time!



Apparently THEY have no problem moving into Olive Quarry, but I can't. The party rushes to defend the quarry.



We reach the village in time – I decide we shall set an ambush.



We are successful.



We start hidden and gain bonuses for flanking.



The party is scattered across the village, Yvilde damages a Spectik.



The villagers are helping us – this guy is up close and personal.



So I retreat him and get some hits in.



Ciara moves to protect Yvilde.



Rath is up to his old tricks, using two bits of scenery to do great damage to a Batchby.



The Spectik advances, and gets murdered by someone it never knew was there.



Anmos is also in ambush, and defeats an advancing Weldling.



The heavily wounded Batchby misses Rath.



Anmos takes some damage from ranged attacks.



One of the villagers takes out the Batchby.



While Anmos moves up and gets some revenge!



Flinn the villager moves up to support him, but is heavily wounded by the Watchman.



Then brutally murdered by the Sommelier!



Another Watchman enters the fray.



Having spent the last few turns running from the other end of the village, Yvilde is here in time to avenge Flinn's death!



While Chasynne is holding the south on her own.



And to make matters worse, the new Watchman is behind her!



Anmos clears the one in the north.



Rath rushes recklessly to protect Chasynne.



But is taken down when the Watchman charges him.



As it's the first time he's been reduced to 0HP, I can choose to have him maimed rather than dieing. I choose this. He looses a leg but crawls off to safety.



Honestly, there's a good chance you'll grow a lightning leg instead.



With Rath down, Chasynee takes the brunt of the Mortaghi attacks.



The last monster arrives in the shape of a Weldling.



Down goes the Watchman.



The Sommelier attacks the group, but it's acid is dodged.



We've not been able to deal with the Weldling, and it comes in with it's area attack.



Chasynee goes down, Bradaru is near death. The village burns.



Yvilde deals with the Sommelier.



The warriors try to deal with the Weldling, but it dodges one blow and tanks most of the second. It once more belches fire.



The last villager falls, And Yvilde is wounded. Ciara is able to dispatch the beast, but it feels to late for the citizens of Olive Quarry....



A hard earned victory, and some level ups.



For Yvilde, I grab foxflight.



Ciara gets Paladin.



Both are better off than Rath.



As our heroes heal, I block more damage from Watchmen.



we then complete work on the pass. Only one battle remains of this chapter.

Our heroes advance on the ominously named Villainkins Forge, though it should be said everything around here is ominously named.



They advance on the forge – the Morgathi are already here.



Gotta get those puns in.



Yeah, I'm not splitting the party.



You say that to the man who just lost a leg – though as you can see in this image, he has in fact just grown himself a new lightning one!



We step into battle – a wide range of foes opposes us.



The weldling is waiting for us. Yvlide moves up.



And puts some hurt into it.



Rath finishes it off by exploding some terrain.



I guess we just go up and knock?



As we ready up on the door, a Spectik races out of the darkness towards the party.



Anmos leaps forwards to deal with it. It has no actions so he finishes it off in his turn.



Yvilde stealths up.



We kick the door open.



Inside we see our old friend the fleeing skeleton monster fighting with his kin alongside a blacksmith.



That's a rude way of saying “Help! I'm messing with things (wo)man was not supposed to know! Save me!”



There are more foes to fight either way.



Rath opens up with some magic.



Annihilating the Watchman in a single hit.



Yvilde gets us the lay of the land.



Fawn races towards the party.



The weldling moves forward – Anmos damages it.



But it still uses its flame-belch!



The pair of warriors dodge the flames – though Ciara takes some damage from standing in the flames at the start of the turn.



Fawn finishes off the Weldling.



We can't advance without taking damage, so Anmos beats out the fire – preventing Ciara from taking any more damage.



She then deals with the Spectik.



Outside, Rath uses the environment to try and halt the Batchby that comes at him.



A Sommalier comes around the side of the house.



And a watchman from the other side.



Yvilde puts some hurts on the Batchby.



Rath falls just short of finishing him off.



The oncoming creatures link up and hit Ciara.



On the other flank Anmos takes a hit.



Ciara thankfully dodges the Batchby's attack.



It doesn't dodge hers.



Rath gets to use his lightning powers for the first time.



Yvilde hits cover.



Anmos fights his personal fight.



While Fawn moves forwards to protect Ciara, blocking a hit.



Anmos takes a hit.



Then finishes off his foe.



Down goes the watchman.



And victory is ours, along with a level for Rath.



I of course improve his lightning powers.



The loot is some hunter armour, so Yvilde gets a nice boost.



Something about this story doesn't add up.




So someone who is interested in life extension was hanging around with an undead robot? This is in no way connect at all.



And with that we come to the end of Chapter one! We did well, and ten years of peace follow.



The enemies weaken.



Anmos spends his time at home hunting while simultaneously adventuring.



Apparently Ciara is not from around here.



Then the transformations continue – I did think about asking for a vote, but there is no way you lot are not voting to push this as far as we can go! Anmos gets a plant arm. Nothing is recorded what Ciara thinks about this.



Meanwhile Rath gets more power-full.



He's got a nice arsenal of powers now.



We now have the option to forge gear for our heroes – there are to many options to list, but we can get better weapons for everyone.



If we are short anything, legacy points can be used to supplement our crafting.



We can also improve our armour. You'll also notice everyone is now looking a bit older.


What should I prioritise for upgrades?

Honestly, the more I see of this game, the more impressed I am by it. I was not expecting it to represent the long periods of peace when nothing noteworthy happens as an actual gameplay mechanic. I also like the way it gives you the Legacy poins as a mulligan to manipulate things in your favour, that's pretty nice.
