Boardgaming in 2017!

I’ve failed it three times now. I can barely get out of the first room. If the six guards in the first room don’t get me, the elite guard right through the first door does, or the three archers down the hall from him.

I’m playing a brute, a scoundrel, and a spellweaver. Classic fighter, thief, magic-user party. I’m using the solo rules of boosting the monster level, so they’re level two to my level one guys. Maybe this is just a bad combo, but it feels like I just don’t have enough hit points to power past all these enemies, even using the spellweaver’s frost armor and the brute’s persistent warden ability and one-turn shield.

How did you guys get through this first mission so quickly?
