MEK OP Game Night: Evangelism

The campus has a new student center, so we decided to camp out on a giant round table (cue Camelot jokes) and show off some of our board games. Josiah brought over a four-expansion Carcassonne set, basically the Big Box minus the Tower expansion. We methodically covered the table with tiles, despite the fact that most of us had only a vague idea of how the new expansion stuff was being scored.

After Carcassonne, we pulled out Shadows Over Camelot and played a no-traitor game with impressive success. No lost quests until after all three special items were claimed, and then we beat up on the catapults to make the victory as decisive-looking as possible.

Meanwhile in the Green Pass campaign, a solo foray by my wife into the caves resulted in a frantic retreat from some unexpectedly tough hobgoblins, as well as the more professional clearing of one of the two warbands of orcs. The orc sub-chieftain coughed up the following rather disconcerting communique:

It's in some kind of ersatz-Papyrus font, so you know it's serious business. Messengers were dispatched by ship to Durnovar to alert the king to the possibility of some kind of orcish offensive.
