Friday Firefight: Temple of Artemis - duex

.

Imagine the scene. Sometime AD. A river, a hill, couple of trees and a stone circle. Romans cross the river, ambushed by the Britons and we have the first Battle of Ringford. Put a church in the centre of the stones and a medieval melee between a Norman Lord and his recalcitrant vassals outside the church. Second Battle of Ringford. Add a bridge, knock over some of the stones and King & Parliament cavalry battle it out for control of the important river crossing. Third... you get the picture. Three games, one night - basically same terrain - one of my most fondly remembered night's of gaming - 20 years ago.

So I took the same premise, set up the Temple of Artemis. Future. Sometime. GZG troops in their distinctive VDV style pajamas recon the temple only to be hit by Xeno hordes. Two survivors (pictured above)..... then none.
 
Future. Sometime shortly after now.  After discovering an old skin covered book and uttering the words...Klaatu...Berada.....Necktie, Hank Lucy and Debs are assailed by the bones of the dead knights buried there. Debs drops in the initial onslaught. Hank receives a wound. he and Lucy fight their way back to back out of the temple.

Every turn I roll die to see if Hank drops the book. No, too stupid - the army of the dead follow. Finally Hank falls and with him the book falls too, leaving Lucy to get away in the VW and sell her story to the National Enquirer.

Photos to follow - too tired.

Now. Shortly before Tea-time. Bond..... no time to play. Damn that Hank and his fixation for that book.

Cheers
