We had our first failed quest in Agon. Concise game summary, courtesy of Skyla aka Fleet-footed Pelicles:
Our Heroes had gotten foolishly confident that interludes were a nice way to generate Strife, which was just another word for Glory they hadn't gotten yet. Apparently Zeus frowns on metagaming. Pride, fall, chronological order, etc.
Posted By: Matt WilsonI'm imagining that the above says PWNED in greek letters.
From our perspective, I imagine it says a lot of things in swirly colors... Look! it's Zeus looking kinda annoyed, and is that your little dog Toto? Pelicles blames Lykos for making us camp a la General George McClellan rather than attacking the Lemoteans (spelled wrong in the comic) when we had momentum. Yep, next time he uses the "more strife means more glory" line: spear to the head.
Seriously, game mechanic-wise, we interluded before the fight and the extra 4 strife made it that much tougher with more enemy armor and couple of extra minions. There were only two of us and Lykos took a 5 wound right off the top too which put our forces down a couple notches (literally) and other planets didn't align, but that was the gist of it.
