Horde of the Bloodsucker
A 4-player Halloween-themed Frostgrave scenario
by Brendan O’Connor and James Garfield
Set up a 3’x’3 table with whatever terrain you like.
Place a building, altar, coffin or other appropriate item in the center of the table to act as the vam-
pire’s entry point.
Warbands deploy in a 6”x18” area centered on each board edge.
Objective
Last wizard standing.
As soon as only one wizard remains in play, the scenario ends. Apprentices don’t count.
Magic Enhancement
The ritual site enhances the magical power of all casters on the table. Each time a caster succeeds in casting a spell, he gets a +1 bonus to cast for the rest of the game. The bonus is cumulative.
The Vampire
The vampire will protect his territory if he feels that his minions aren’t getting the job done. After 20 spells are cast, place him in the center of the table.
Undead Minions
The vampire’s minions will enter each board edge during the creature phase. We recommend zombies, but skeletons and ghouls are fine depending on your collection. Beginning on turn 2, place two minions on each board edge in the creature phase. In addition, for each successful spell a
players casts, he accrues one more on his edge; they are drawn to the power!
Also place one minion for every damaging hit a player’s warband takes; they are also drawn to the blood...and the screaming like little girls! That’s right-damage your favorite opponent to add more zombies to his table edge
Bloodbath - Double down on the initial horde size by keeping track of how many minions you would have generated in turn 1, so when you place them in turn 2’s creature phase you have a sizable starting group.
-----------------
We're moving straight into the finals for our next game. This is our stab at a 4-player deathmatch that is admittedly far more combat-oriented than your standard Frostgrave scenario. We'll only be about a week away from Halloween when this is played, so we needed something adequately gory.
