Fastest Road to Darkness

During my visit to Kuhmo I continued a Touch of  Evil campaign with a friend. 

We were against Shadow Witch. We got Sara the Bright Witch and Karl the Soldier as our heroes. Rather decent characters, I must say.

But they did not help much. 

Oh gods, the game was horrible. The game took a total of five or six rounds to lose, with Shadow Track falling for one whole stage on every turn. 

We were drawing two mystery cards from the first turn, and four to five mystery cards from thereafter. Murders just kept coming, and I don't think we had over two mystery cards that did not force shadow track down. 

Since it was such a short and terrifying game, we played another game right after against the same villain.

Game 2

Second game we had Dr. Edwards and Eliza the Witch Hunter going on.

This time we actually had a game. Eliza with old maps was good enough spectre-remover for a long time until she started getting knocked down in the mystery phase while getting ambushed by trees and 18 fight dice Shadow Witch. 

Seven out of nine town elders lay dead or as tormented spirits on the board.

We had seven Remains in Play cards, and Dr. Edwards did manage to get Sacred Chalice. But when the situation called for many a 3+ roll, none were made and the chalice got ditched after the first try. 

In the end we did not even get to showdown, as shadow track fell to darkness thanks to Eliza getting knocked down every turn while there was this "each time a hero is KO'd, shadow track falls by two" mystery card online.

Oh well. Still four more heroes left in this campaign.
