Good stuff!

[@zjivagoh8190]

Finally got around to watch this, go Mattias!

[@MedievalWargamer]

Love this game!used to have the old ones. Very enjoyable thank you for posting!

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Thanks again for your support and comments and I’m glad the videos bring you some joy of the old days in gaming mate

[@Heroes_of_Qalanor_RPG]

Good video... lots of action... at 12:11 when the henchman hit the skaven for a critical and then hit again - it should have been 8 damage dice rolled.. 4 for the critical and 4 for the second hit. Also, don't forget the heroes and henchmen can carry 250 gold crowns each but also as many jewels as they want!

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Thank you and yes mistakes were made and I try not to make any if possible. Thanks for the feedback mate

[@robins5314]

Good stuff, keep them coming.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Thank you and I can’t wait to continue the adventure

[@TimelessGamingUK]

Loving this! I’m reading an old Warhammer novel called Shadowbreed at the moment and it feels as thought it may have been influenced by AHQ. It has a warrior, a dwarf and a wizard fighting skaven in tunnels below Middenheim, alongside some expendable Empire guards. Watching this feels like the book come to life.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Oh wow! I had not heard of this story so will need to check it out. It certainly sounds like an AHQ adventure as you say

[@midgetmanifesto]

I think one of the earliest felix and gotrek stories was converted into an AHQ mission. Mutated troll with warpstone embedded in it.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

@@midgetmanifesto yes it was and I want to play that one. I have the adventure here as a copy

[@darsis]

When you open a door, this counts as your attack. Therefore you move and attack/open or close a door, or attack/open or close a door then move. So the Gutter Runner would move up to the door, open it, then its turn ends. This would give you a turn to kill it before it flees. If it does flee then you generate the dungeon as it runs off, searching for assistance in the form of wandering monsters, a lair, or the Quest Room.

[@glenndavis1245]

Have you seen Enhanced Advanced Heroquest? I had it printed and bound at my local Office Depot. It has the tables from Terror in the dark in it as well as information from old White Dwarfs.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

That would be ideal and thanks for the information mate

[@darsis]

Jewels and other stuff "worth x Gold Crowns" are in addition to your 250 GCs carrying capacity. And remember that you can use your henchmen as mules. That's why it's always worthwhile leaving their corpses on the board; get their pockets stuffed and then drag them out of the dungeon. That way they pay for their own funeral :P

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Okay thanks for the advice and I’ll keep that in mind next time we venture into the deep of the Old World

[@darsis]

You don't have to disarm a trap once you have spotted it. You just note it on your map which square it is in so you avoid it in the future. Also, if you had attempted to disarm it with your Dwarf, he gets +2 to disarm it (and also to spot it but Matheus had already spotted it).

[@darsis]

When you encountered the second lair, the Elf could not actually see into the room as an open door still blocks line of sight unless you are adjacent to it.

[@darsis]

You only roll once on the table for the magic circle. The effect then remains until used. So when Matheus stepped on it and you rolled "no effect", in essence the magic has already been used up and therefore the circle is useless.

[@danroberts007]

Oh, so many 12's and 1's at all the best/worst times. lol. Watching this had me thinking about wandering monsters in WHQ. You're half as likely to encounter wandering monsters in AHQ (unless you're the Crown of Command dice-roller) on a 1-in-12 chance than in WHQ on a 1-in-6 chance. There is a tendency in WHQ for additional wandering monsters to pile in before you've cleared out the first group. It can turn into a real traffic jam in the dungeon. I think, as a house rule, once a single group of wandering monsters has been generated, I'll be switching from rolling a d6 to a d12 for additional wandering monster groups (and roll the Wizard's power separately). That should cut down on the inevitable combat slogs somewhat. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I'm obviously late watching this play-through; got my fingers crossed they make it out alive! :-D

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you enjoy the last session I uploaded the other day to finalize the adventure. Yeah my dice rolling is just nuts really. Maybe it’s the cheap dice I bought from EBay lol who knows.

[@s2korpionic]

Will you also be using the Beyond the Grey Mountain system for overland travelling? *For those roll failures that's not a 1 (i.e. catastrophic failure), perhaps its time to interject? Instead of saying the attack or action fail, you go "The attack hits, but..." usually involving a negative modifier to the attacker's strength value, or the attacker also getting hurt in the process.

[@filipinorutherford7818]

I would go up to the surface if it means you can dramatically improve yourselves with leveling up or buying new equipment. If you don't have much money or won't level up then PUSH ON TO ADVENTURE!!! Push your men at arms forward and get them to earn their pay ha ha.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Yes good advice. As much as I would like to go to the surface, maybe it is just the fate of the adventurers that they die in this tomb of a dungeon lol

[@darsis]

Kristoff, nooooooooooo! 😢

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Oh yes he did.

[@glenndavis1245]

Go to the surface and beef up your characters and get new henchmen.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Yeah it’s maybe the best option but perhaps I shouldn’t least find the Quest room and then venture back up to the supply

[@darsis]

Also, I notice you are moving and shooting with a bow. Unfortunately you cannot do this. You can only move and throw weapons such as spears, axes and knives. The only move and shoot bow weapons are Magical Bows of Switness.

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Oh really. I will have to check this and thanks for mentioning this important rule.
