 The heroes of Thespia reclined around another campfire. The borders had been quiet of late, so tall tales were being told as the stars span above and food devoured. Tychon the Archer, leaning back after a perticularly fine fowl for dinner, looked at the others. "Of course, with Jason and The Argonauts, we did go treasure hunting..." "Oh, here we go again!" Polykratos groaned. "What, don't you like a nice fairy tale before bedtime?" laughed Leandros.  Mark, Dave and I has arranged a nice, civil, game of Mortal Gods this week. Dave set out his terrain, amd because I get to the club later, was given the final deployment point. The scenario was a treasure hunt amd grab. My force, Jason, Atalanta, Argonauts, three sets of hoplites, some archers and Tychon.  Jason has the Sword of Justice, The Golden Fleece and is Immortal, while Tychon has been gifted the Bow of Apollo.  Mark has a group of centaurs, two warriors, two archers, and a leader. He also had a h...

Tychon looked up at the rest of the Thespian Lochagos around the fire. The warband had had a quiet day, and were enjoying the last scraps of their meals. He nudged Polykratos and looked up at the rest of the gang as Jeff was starting to assemble and tune instruments. "You know it wasn't the only time I fought the Hydra..." "You never fought the Hydra!" Polykratos coughed. "Not once, not twice, not never!" "Oh I did, ask the archers, we were there." Tychon said with complete earnestness.

My temple sat in the centre, terrain sat in each depl...

Typhon lay back near the campfire,as the other Thespians picked away at the bones of the freshly roasted rabbit he had hunted earlier. Libations had been made to Artemis, but the rest had definitely been enjoyed by the warband. "Did I ever tell you about the time I fought against the Hydra, along side Jason and the Argonauts?" "I'm calling bull," Leandros laughed at the archer. Polykratos looked at the veteran archer and smiled wryly, "Typhon, we know you are an old fighter, but that's a legend." "Go on, spin your tale Typhon," Leandros chortled. David R and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods:Mythic, table fell like this, and we just went for a stand up fight. Dave's kit isn't all painted yet, so forgive him! Not all Jason's are goblins. The Hordes of Hades. More Skellies than you can shake a femur at, some are archers, a few temple guard, a priest, and A HYDRA! Atalanta, Typhon and my archers start by picking off a unit of ...
