'Stafford's Hunting Brigade'

Stafford's Hunting Brigade - by adajon42

Pre-Battle Text
You wake to the disconcerting sounds of footsteps above you. Even more alarmingly, low-pitched growls and snarls follow - this must be the infamous hunting brigade Lord Stafford sends to dispatch criminals, personal enemies or, in your case, sorcerers. You barely have time to collect your thoughts before the noises suddenly stop. A single roar shortly follows; you assume this means the party has found your hiding place. Leaping out from under the bridge, you quickly summon a few minions - although you find them laughably weak, they might serve as a distraction to your foes. Sparking up a spell of your own, a wry grin crosses your skull. Time to show that fool Stafford not to meddle with the might of Alet Zhav.

Post-Battle Text
With your assailants lying dead around your feet, you hope Lord Stafford will not bother you again with more hunts. After all, even though you are the most dreaded wizard in Cardhuntria, your powers have their limits.

Notes
To win, you must kill all the War Dogs and Chupacabras. They need to kill Alet Zhav to win. Destroyed bridge area and stone doodads on water (representing stepping stones) are both difficult terrain.

Changelog
Version 1: Scenario created
Version 2: Added lower doodads, changed bridge gap to look more like difficult terrain
Version 3: Changed allies from 2 Wisps to 4 Lightning Imps

The stone doodads on the water look like difficult terrain; the gap in the bridge definitely looks like impassable terrain by CH board standards.

 

Yes, the stone doodads are difficult terrain... perhaps I didn't word my explanation clearly enough?
I've changed the gap in the bridge to (hopefully) look less like impassable terrain and more like difficult terrain. What do you think?

 

My comment about the river was meant to say "you succeeded there"

Bridge looks better, nicely done.

 

The scenario is too hard in my opinion.

 

Ah, I understand! Sorry about that!

What part of the scenario do you find hard? Can you suggest any modifications to make it easier?

 

The wisps have lots of dead blocks.

 

OK, I've changed the 2 Wisps to 4 Lightning Imps. The Imps have no useless cards, and are a bit weaker.

 

I suggest adding a Lightning Spirit

 

I tried the scenario again with a Lightning Sprite as an additional ally, but I don't think it needs it. I've managed to complete it with just the four Lightning Imps, and the addition of the Sprite just made it a bit too easy.
