RL - 02May2013

The holidays began early as Darthraider and Pavvo gathered at Cavalock's house for a day of games!

Having played Relic 2 days earlier, all 3 of us went in fully aware of how to play and what awaited us, although noob encounters were sure to follow.

The scenario

Corruptis

Pavvo as the Commisaar

Darthraider as the Sniper

Cavalock as the Space Marine Captain

And with that the battle for the galaxy begin!

Darthraider started by facing a red threat! However, his character, being adapt at evading, sneaked past his enemy.

First blood went to Pavvo as he slew the Ork in the Forgotten Waste

Pavvo completes his first mission, bringing Cavalock to Justice and requisitioning his Lightning Claw

Darthraider completed his first mission too by patrolling the sectors amid ravenous Tyranids

Pavvo's major loss at the outskirts, saw him sacrificing 2 allies to the Tyranids and still losing due to 1 roll!

After the shameful loss, Cavalock fulfilled his mission by arresting Pavvo, the Traitor!

Pavvo was the first to level, as he slew an 8 strength Tyranid with 2 sixes

Darthraider was the first to bite the dust as he fought an Unclean One and Fabius Bile! Even exploding 3 times could not save the sniper as he turned tails and headed to St. Antias Sanctuary.

Pavvo took the initiative and completed his 2nd mission, leveling up in the process.

One turn later, Pavvo completed his 3rd mission and traded them in for a Daemonbane!

On his next turn, he auto-completes a mission by killing an Ork Battlewagon

Cavalock acquired his first Relic, the Litany of Protection!

After a very very brief interlude, Pavvo acquired his 2nd relic, the Nyphoma Astrolabe

After battling a horde of enemies with the help of Darthraider, and sacrificing all his allies, Pavvo claimed an 11 willpower and 5 strength enemy, together with his 9 trophy, levelled up 4 times!

A major turn of the game, Cavalock and Darthraider were Lured by Chaos and acquired their 6th corruption card! Reroll! Jeers were heard all around, except for Pavvo who was cheering by himself.

Darthraider restarts with the Tech - Priest

While Cavalock restarts with the Inquisitor

Pavvo started his way into the Inner Tier and rolled a 1 and lost 3 lives!

Pavvo begins his assault on Corruptis as Darthraider and Cavalock struggled at level 1

Pavvo lost his first battle and his last life as Cavalock rolled a six TWICE!

Back to the Sanctuary for Pavvo :<(

After more tireless journeys, Darthraider managed to acquire his first relic -the Archaeotech Data Shard

On the same turn Pavvo acquired his third- the Golden Armour of Lord Domians

After much cunning and tracking, Darthraider acquired his 2nd relic - the Soul Render

While the other 2 space troopers were struggling to catch up on levels and gear, Pavvo makes his 2nd attempt in the Inner Sector towards Corruptis!

Throughout Pavvo's tiring climb up the proverbial mountain, Cavalock drew his first Relic! The book of Power - Magna Mystics

Upon reaching Corruptis once again, a mighty battle ensued between the ruthless Commissar and the corrupted demon. After suffering 2 wounds, Pavvo dealt 3 damage to Corruptus! One more to go! Can he do it? or will he succumb to his final wound and get sent all the way back to the Sanctuary again?

The last epic battle!

Corruptis at 14 will power

Pavvo at 18 (-1 for corruption)

Pavvo rolls a 4 for 22.

Corruptis rolls a 6! And a 2 for a 22!

But Pavvo's Golden Armour adds a 5 to give him a win and triumph in the the war hammer universe of Relic!

All in all, an extremely epic game with lots of highs and lows! Can't wait for our next game!
