The Orc Fortress...A Song of Blades and Heroes Dungeon Crawl!!

 Hail adventurers! Herein lies the account of another venture into the depths of a dungeon using the Song of Blades and Heroes rule set with the Song of Gold and Darkness dungeon crawl rules. As usual, I am using the fantastic fan-made expansion for SGD called Deep Dark Dungeons (DDD). Read on after the link if you're interested in seeing what happens! Plus, check out my custom-made orc dungeon table at the bottom! Enjoy and happy holidays!

Same composition as last time's party just different miniatures. Dwarf, Swordmage, Acrobat Thief, and Crusader. Maybe they'll have better luck!

The layout. I kept it small hoping for an easier adventure for these new heroes.

Just a small taste of the monsters I could possibly choose from in any given adventure.

Door swings open, and we're off!

"Hello, what's this...Rubbish, that's what!" Nothing to be found in the bookshelf.

Someone took notice of the good guys entering!

"Cripes! This job doesn't pay me enough!"

Miraculously, the thief, who is hardly fit for combat, fends off the orc!

Well, until he was cut to shreds the next turn! Our first contestant is down!

After being knocked to the ground, the crusader cleaves the orc in half.

"Tally ho!" Our brave crusader charges in!

The crusader again chops up an orc with his mighty broadsword.

With no where to be "pushed back" to, the orc falls down and is slain by the dwarf, handily.

"Rally ho! Treasure!" Recklessly, the crusader busts open the chest. Thankfully, no sinister traps lay within. A Masterwork Weapon was found and given to the dwarf.

"Didn't we just kill these guys?"

"Broadsword ho!" Unfortunately, the crusader's charge ended in his death at the hands of the greenskins!

A bit more cautiously and with mage support, the dwarf slices up the armored orc archer.

"This one's fer you, thief!"

Our adventurers thought better of their situation and decided to make an early exit...Of course, some wandering orcs had other plans!

More teamwork and the orc warrior is sent to...wherever orcs go, probably not heaven. Unfortunately, a lucky shot by the orc archer catches the dwarf right in the face...Face-to-arrow survival ratio is not good, poor dwarf!

The Swordmage...(wait a second, that's no sword!) makes a break for the exit but the orc takes one more pot shot...and misses.
