The Seething Lake became just that: A lake filled with Tentacles as another Grasping Tentacle returned to staging along with some Black Uruks which forced me to drop off a Narvi's Belt from Bifur. 2 More tentacle enemies hit our staging just as we cleared The West Door and The Watcher approached. We were well into the 10th round and questing strongly, despite running afoul of a Stagnant Creek, Makeshift Passage and 2 Wrapped treacheries, one of which we cancelled using A Test of Will. With attackers in place and a few allies for defense, our Dwarf volley went to work and laid waste to 2 tentacle enemies as well as a pesky Warg that kept biting our behinds and retreating to staging. By round 7 Gloin, now equipped with a Narvi's Belt, a Steward of Gondor and a Self Preservation managed to pop a few resources over to tactics which led to Gimli acquiring a shiny new Citadel Plate as well as a Dwarven Axe on an already booted Dwalin. Lore/ Tactics were a little low on resources but I managed to beeline Erebor Record Keeper into play along with a few Veteran Axehands for extra attack. By round 3 I managed to sneak attack a certain Wizard into play for extra card draw which led to a really lucky draw with an Unexpected Courage and a Steward of Gondor reaching my Leadership/ Spirit deck.
The first 2 rounds were brutal to my Dwarves with both Gimli and Dwalin hanging on to life by a thread and with little resources to spare. Of the 3 types of Watcher tentacles, the Striking Tentacle proved to be the most annoying in that it led to quite a few forced defenseless attacks.
How it went down: Tentacles! Tentacles! So many tentacles! Grasping, thrashing and striking! Our first phase started off perilously with some Turbulent Waters showing up in staging during setup as well as a Warg, a Bitter Wind treachery and the dreadful Grasping Tentacle enemy card. Description: Tolkien mixed in with some Lovecraft flavor as our heroes stealthily try to evade being tentacle mauled by the mysterious watcher.
