BSC 2026 post 2

 I had some time today to work on my BSC 2026 entery.  Manged to get the majority of the build portion finished.  Now it is down to finishing details and cleaning it up.  

 

Frostgrave scenario. Blind Meg

Blind Meg

 

You have heard a rumor that a powerful soothsayer has taken up residence somewhere in the frozen city.  Wild tales about her predictions and favors have encouraged you to seek her guidance.  After much searching you have tracked her down. 

 

Setup

 

The board is set up normally with a large central temple.  For this scenario, each player will only place one treasure normally.  A single central treasure will be placed next to Blind Meg in the center of the temple.  Other treasures may be given out as favors by Meg when she says the sooth.

 

Special Rules

 

Any wizard or apprentice that is in base-to-base contact with Blind Meg may use an action to pay Meg 5 gc for her to say the sooth.  She will only say the sooth once per warband.  Roll on the table below to determine what Meg sees.  Sometimes Meg will provide insight into the future, she may give a talisman, or she may give bad news.  If a talisman is given it is taken into inventory immediately and can be used normally this game.

 

1 - 7	Fortune smiles on you.
6 - 14	Fate can be fickle.
15 – 18	Talisman
19 – 20	There is pain in your future.

 

Fortune smiles on you:

Before the next game choose one spell from your list.  For the duration of the next game the wizard and apprentice cast the spell with +2 to the casting die roll.

 

Fate can be fickle:

Next game before casting any spells, roll a die.  On even numbers add one to the casting roll for the spell.  On odd numbers subtract one from the casting roll.

 

Talisman:

Meg has given a small token of her favor.  All items are described on page 101 of the Frostgrave Rule book.   This item can be used immediately.

 

1 – 5	Ring of slow fall
6 – 10	Ring of Will
11 – 15	Amulet of Resistance
16 – 20	Fate Stone

 

There is pain in your future: 

Roll once on the permanent injury table on p 77 of the Frostgrave rule book.  This injury will automatically affect the wizard or apprentice who paid Meg for the sooth. 

 

Interrupting the sooth

Each turn after she has said the sooth, if a model attacks another model whilst in line sight of Meg, roll on the table below as the model has interrupted the vision.  This will only happen the first-time combat is initiated and subsequent combats are ignored.

 

1 – 2	Cursed for life
3 – 10	Expelled from her presence
11 – 17	Ethereal vengeances
18 – 20	Meg approves of your actions

 

Cursed for life 

If the attacker is a wizard they must roll twice on the permanent injury table on p 77 of the Frostgrave rule book with immediate effect.  If the attacker is a soldier, they are instantly removed from play and are considered to have rolled badly injured on the soldier’s survival chat on p74 of the Frostgrave book.

 

Expelled from her presence. 

The attacking model is pushed twenty inches directly away from Blind Meg.  The model will stop if it encounters a piece of terrain.  If it is stopped by terrain, the model then takes damage as if it fell from the same number of inches that it was moved. 

 

Ethereal Vengeance.

A Wraith p192 from the Frostgrave Book immediately appears within two inches of the model who initiated the attack.  In the monster phase it will target that model first before following the normal random monster rules.

 

Meg approves of your actions.

The attacking model gains +1 fight for the remainder of the game.

 

Wandering Monsters appear normally in this scenario. 

 

Treasure and experience

+100 experience for the wizard whose warband interrupts Meg's sooth. 

+50 experience for the wizard or apprentice who pays Meg say a sooth.  

 

BSC 2026 number 1

 This years BSC subject is for this year is wheel.  

 

I have decided to make a planisphere skopein to view the celestial wheel. 

Here is the base 

 

Frostgrave Scenario - The Devils Dovecote

 

The Devils Dovecote

 

Looming in front of you is a short tower.  In the distance you can see shapes flapping around the top.

 

Setup

 In the center of the board is a short (two level) tower on a small hill.  The rest of the table is set up normally with the exception that it is clear within eight inches of the tower. 

 The central treasure is placed inside the tower and all other treasures must be evenly spaced within the eight-inch clear area.  Normal treasure separation rules do not apply in this scenario. 

 

Special Rules

 Every time a treasure is picked up, the player who does so rolls a dice.   On a 1-10 a swarm of pidgins or bats immediately attack the model.   The effects are identical to the furious quill spell as if cast with a roll of 14.  Once they are defeated, they immediately disperse.  On a roll of 11-20 a swarm of Stirges will appear and attack the model.  If the Stirges survive the combat, they will behave the same as any other wandering monster.  In this scenario, wandering monsters will appear normally.

 

Swarm of Stirges

 Stirges are small, flying, blood sucking creatures that latch onto their prey and quickly overwhelm them.  Though easy to kill, they are quite dangerous as their victims tend to bleed out in a short amount of time. 

Swarm of Stirges
M	F	S	A	W	H	Notes
8	1	0	6	0	4	Animal, Latch On, Flying, Energy Drain

  

Treasure and experience

+5 Experience for each swarm of bats or pidgins defeated

+10 Experience for each swarm of Stirges defeated.

+40 Experience for the wizard whose warband enters the dovecote to pick up the central treasure.  

 

We have played this scenario once with four players and it was mayhem.  Both the doves and the Stirges proved to be quite difficult obstacles to overcome.  In the end there was a general melee in the center of the board.  At one point there were twenty models on the central hill fighting both flying creatures and each other.
