Tomb of Annihilation update   Leave a comment

Well we played two scenarios with three players. Lost boy rescued and Evil villains in scenario 9 defeated. Was good fun. In both we were all down to our last few hit points and even had to use our healing potion.

Next we shall descend into the Tomb itself in search of the arch lich.

Funnily enough Mike looked up when we had last played the earlier adventures in this campaign and it was way back n 2018. Fortunately I had put every character in a separate bag and recorded the campaign on a record sheet downloaded from board game geek so we were able to carry on without any difficulties.
