I just lost the Monster's Hoard quest while gaming with my son. He set up the 2nd encounter with a Master Ice Wyrm and a Master Giant.I have Laurel, Astarra, and Laughin.
The Giant was taken down quickly, but I didn't focus enough attention on the Ice Wyrm and it swallowed two heroes (out of 3). Laurel was the last one left and she found the bow, but the Ice Wyrm stood on the exit space blocking it. By this time, he had gotten a good sized hand of OL cards. In addition, we're playing with the Lieutenant Plot decks and my son is using the OL card that lets him draw two at the end of every turn. That seems REALLY cheap considering it only gives me 1 Threat token.
Since he just got the Scorpion's Kiss relic. I feel really screwed now.
Any advice? I just wish Laurel had the Trueshot bow.
I'm also not picking up that much gold from searching. How is it expected that the heroes will afford any Act II gear when they only won 1 Act I quest? I'm feeling the shopping step is just kinda pointless.
EDIT: It seems like my damage output to take down the Act II monsters just isn't there like it was in Act I. Have I played badly? It seems like beyond a couple of extra OL cards, the OL doesn't get that much and then the monsters get a huge bump in Act II.
Thanks guys
