The main spoiler here is the following, but also part of the scenario description before you even start the scenario (so you will know all this as soon as you read the scenario description):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trapped when entering this dungeon, you are now being hunted by the <em>Grim Reaper <\/em>itself &#8211; it is slowly coming for the slowest character, moving at a steady pace of 5 squares per round. The <em>Grim Reaper <\/em>is depicted by a <em>Poltergeist <\/em>figurine, so if a <em>Poltergeist <\/em>monster is drawn, no <em>Poltergeist <\/em>is added as usual, but the <em>Grim Reaper <\/em>has an extra activation. Grim is not directly deadly, but with 4 damage that ignores armor, he can be a real problem quickly. As the last <em>Room Tile<\/em>, the one with a ladder is used &#8211; as soon this room is reached, the characters can try to escape using the old and wiggly ladder. The <em>Grim Reaper<\/em> starts on the same tile as the characters (the black figurine on the picture below). As characters we chose the <em>Shield-Maiden (purple)<\/em>, <em>Mage (blue)<\/em>, <em>Adventurer (white)<\/em> and <em>Huntress (orange)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151455.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"984\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151455.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-846\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we needed to move quickly and escape the reaper, the <em>Adventurer <\/em>quickly opened a door, revealing a room with large pillars, populated by a <em>Gargoyle <\/em>and 2 <em>Mummies<\/em>. The <em>Gargoyle<\/em> also showed that it was a <em>Teleporter<\/em>, glitching away 4 squares after every attack. Lucky for us, the Mage had a spell that specifically targets undead monsters &#8211; hopefully taking care of the <em>Mummies <\/em>quickly. The <em>Adventurer<\/em> (as quick as he was) could not really do anything (with weapons that could not penetrate any of their armor), so he focused on the treasure chests still available in the first room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151453.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"706\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151453.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-845\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole group moved quickly  into the new room to escape the reaper and killed the two <em>Mummies<\/em>. To possibly move further ahead of the <em>Grim Reaper<\/em>, the <em>Mage <\/em>opened another door &#8211; revealing a dead end with two <em>Orcs<\/em>. Nowhere to go here, so the group decided to ignore the <em>Orcs <\/em>for now and open another door to move ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"815\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-844\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Shield-Maiden<\/em> opened the door and revealed a large room, expanding onto 4 <em>Room Tiles<\/em> (needed to rotate the dungeon a bit to fit better)! This large room showed a <em>Vampire<\/em>, 2 <em>Goblins<\/em>, a <em>Skeleton <\/em>and a <em>Mercenary<\/em> &#8211; and 2 <em>Poltergeists<\/em>, translating into an instant double activation for the <em>Grim Reaper<\/em>. Luckily the <em>Huntress<\/em> rolled a good defense both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"993\" height=\"897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151445.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-843\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The group decided to run and ignore the monsters, moving past them, then barricading within the room with the long corner. The Skeleton and the Goblin were quickly taken out, but the rest of the monsters were resisting defeat. So the group decided to open the next room and move on quickly before the <em>Grim Reaper <\/em>comes closer. This new room revealed only one other exit &#8211; hopefully the ladder out of this dungeon is close! The room was only occupied by a <em>Slimecrawler<\/em>, and the <em>Adventurer<\/em> took care of that easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"912\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151442.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-842\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Huntress <\/em>being the fastest, she opened the next door to see where the dungeon leads us &#8211; only to reveal another dead end! Oh no, we are trapped now, with the <em>Grim Reaper <\/em>and all monsters coming for us! Our wager to run from the monsters did not pay off, now we need to fend them off and still find the exit&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"972\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151438.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-841\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the dead end, another Slimecrawler and a Goblin Archer waited for us. Two characters ran into the room to take care of these, while the rest took care of the upcoming horde running behind us. The plan is to lure the Grim Reaper in and then run around the well to find the exit ladder &#8211; and take care of a few monsters on the way if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-840\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, while searching for treasure, the <em>Adventurer<\/em> triggered a <em>Water Pit<\/em> trap &#8211; directly loosing a few hit points due to drowning. As the Adventurer is not able to come out of the pit easily, the rest of the group comes into the same room to barricade against the monsters coming closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"873\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151427.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-839\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the group decides it is better to simply run instead of taking care of all the monsters including the <em>Grim Reaper<\/em>. The Adventurer climbed out of the water pit himself without any help, so all are free to move out of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"986\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151422.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-838\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Huntress<\/em> is quick enough and decides to attack an <em>Orc<\/em>. She is successful, but while defeating the <em>Orc<\/em>, she also triggered a <em>Teleport Trap<\/em>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"912\" height=\"863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151418.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-837\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her skills against magic traps are not high enough, so she is teleported onto another room tile and 2 additional monsters spawn. A <em>Dark Mage<\/em> and a <em>Skeleton<\/em>. The <em>Dark Mage<\/em> also is a <em>Necromancer<\/em>, directly spawning another <em>Skeleton<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1298\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151413.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-836\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the group being separated, we hold on to the plan and run as fast as we can to the <em>Huntress<\/em>. The <em>Shield-Maiden <\/em>blocks an attack from the <em>Grim Reaper<\/em> and then runs as fast as she can.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1123\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151409.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-835\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Huntress ignores the Skeletons, and as the Dark Mage (using long-distance lightning attacks) moved away, the way is free to re-unite with the group. Unfortunately, this also allows both the Skeletons and the Dark Mage to attack the group, but with the attacks being distributed over the whole group, we manage to get away with a few bruises only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1014\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151405.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-834\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Reaper <\/em>directly behind us, we move around all the monsters and try to find the exit quickly &#8211; we do not see a chance of defeating all of them before the group is roasted by the <em>Dark Mages<\/em> lightning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1426\" height=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151402.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-833\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Adventurer is the fastest, opening a new door, finally revealing the exit ladder &#8211; and a <em>Troll Spearthrower<\/em> and a <em>Goblin Archer<\/em> standing guard. We all move as close to the exit ladder as we can, possibly escaping the dungeon before the monsters are activated again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"806\" height=\"654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151358.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-832\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the <em>Huntress <\/em>is missing 1 Action Point to get out by herself, but with a little trick and some help from the <em>Adventurer<\/em>, she is able to make it within this round still. However, that means, the <em>Adventurer <\/em>has to climb out last, being attacked by most monsters near the exit. As the <em>Adventurer <\/em>has a lot of armor, the group decides to move out and use this plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"949\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151337.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-831\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Shield-Maiden<\/em> and <em>Mage <\/em>easily climbed out, rolling both successes on their target roll. Before the Huntress can try, the monsters attack, doing heavy damage on both the <em>Adventurer <\/em>and the <em>Huntress<\/em>. The <em>Huntress <\/em>then quickly escapes with the help of the <em>Adventurer<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1332\" height=\"754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151301.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-830\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Adventurer <\/em>also tries to climb out &#8211; but only rolls a 4 and a 1 &#8211; overall 5, where a 10 was required. Unfortunately, the <em>Adventurer <\/em>is so badly wounded by now, that he passes out and becomes unconscious with the next initiative. The monsters get him and the scenario is lost, losing one character of the group. Running from the monsters was a gamble that did not pay out &#8211; without the dead end in the last room, we may have made it out pretty unscathed, but the random dungeon was the <em>Adventurers <\/em>death&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"471\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erps.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-04-151300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-829\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscribe to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dungeonsofdoria.de\" target=\"_blank\">Newsletter<\/a>, if you also want to try out the game on Tabletop Simulator or Tabletopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though I am showing Scenario 1 of the Campaign &#8220;Grim Reaper&#8221; here, the spoilers are minimal, as most of the scenario are random and could work out totally different for you.
