00:00 Starting Soon ("Stiria" from *A Memory of Winter* by Aaron Hodges-Boyle)
06:02 Beginning
12:00 Scenario 22: Ice Floes, Part 3
Martin, this one might keep you busy! As the heroes head below deck, I play the proverbial frog and boil myself in an inexplicably hot room with a sweater I do not need to be wearing! By the time I realize what's going on and adjust my wardrobe, I've already had an instance of *just taking an enemy off the board for no reason and then probably moving into their spot but we're not sure because the room is so chaotic*!
At any rate, the below deck portion of the Ice Floes scenario turns out to be a close quarters race against time to stop the attacking Lurkers and their Lightning Eel pets from chewing the hull right off of our ship and leaving us down at the bottom of the water like crown shards. It's pretty exciting, if uniquely ill-suited to be played remotely (Graeme makes the save part way through with a great setup suggestion).
Meanwhile... all those enemies below deck mean the rounds sure take a while! This one pushes us much later than we had planned on going (we talked a good game last week about maybe getting an OUTPOST PHASE in at the end here...).
Can we pull out the victory in Danielle's first scenario with us? There's only one way to find out!
