Spoiler alert: some Red Hand of Doom spoilers follow...
We recently ran the 50th session of our present campaign setting, which coincided with the Battle of Ada in the Red Hand of Doom adventure (or the Battle for Brindle, as it is in the module). We decided to meet up on a Sunday for an extended 8-hour session and I decided to give the battle a far more epic feel than given in the adenture. I thought it was more fitting for the game as it would give a great sense of scale and real sense of war. There were almost 300 miniatures on the map at one point (the market square map from City of peril)
It was a tough battle (especially when Keeley, the fighter/dwarven defender, decided to turn on his own party (well, failed a will save against dominate!) and take out the party wizard (one hit to -9!). It was touch and go, but they came out victorious in the end!
Here's some photos:
The allies of Ada and the Red Hand horde face off...
The first exchanges (the commoners and farmers step into the action!)...
The allies centre is ripped open and things start to look bleak. More horde advance into the square...
The players seemed shell-shocked...
It's carnage, but the farmers stand firm. Allied reinforcements arrive...
Nothing a wall of fire can't resolve, however...
Wyrmlord Kharn enters the battle, surrounded by his loyal beserkers...
