Round 1 - It's a swamp, which will make movement very difficult. It also has a 25% reduction on all offensive and defensive stats. We immediately move to the grassy area and try to catch some of them in the swamp. They have the same idea and the result is a big fight over that grassy area in the middle. Da Law gets a shot in.
Round 2 - Da Law finishes off the guy he wounded in round 1. We team up on the guys at the bottom. Deacon and Al get the kills. A Thug with an axe comes in and knocks Jerome's shield out of his hands.
Round 3 - Jerome takes a hit from the Bandit Raider. Gork misses a big swing. Deacon seriously injures a Thug and Mizz finishes him.
Round 4 - Walik is in position to attack from across the swamp area. A bandit takes the bait and moves in to the swamp to try and attack Walik. Jerome is holding his own without a shield. He kills the axe man, who got scared and tried to run.
Round 5 - Walik kills the dummy who moved into the swamp. Gork takes out the Raider with an impressively brutal hit.
Round 6 - The archer is the last man standing and tries to escape, but Jerome finishes him off.
This was the easiest battle we've had yet. It was scary when Jerome lost his shield, but we made good use of bad terrain to quickly help him out.
Loot: We pick up a two handed axe for Mizz (finally!), some trade goods, tools, gold, a replacement shield for Jerome, and another metal helmet.
Also, everyone leveled up!
