Meteor Meltdown

Description
This scenario for Heroscape was constructed using one Master Set, one Lava expansion (Volcarrenn Wasteland), one Castle expansion, and one Roads & Trees expansion (Road to the Forgotten Forest).

The terrain includes the remains of a castle with holes in the walls. There are 8 bridged segments. The bridged areas are held up through use of a single Ladder element. At least one side of each bridged area uses a wall segment with the interlock side exposed where the Ladder element is pushed down just far enough so that a hex tile set on top of it will not fall down, although it might sag a little.

There is no pre-set scenario for this map. If you have ideas, please post in the forums (see link on right). We recommend that you ignore the speed bonus normally granted on road hexes to make it a little harder to hold the walls.

Discussion
We welcome feedback and discussion on the content here or games in general on the Other RPG's Forum.

This scenario has its own forum thread you can use.

Story
This was once a castle in a prosperous kingdom, but then disaster struck. A flaming needle from the sky crashed into the castle, flinging stone and fire everywhere. 20 years later a pool of molten rock still sits in the crater. A mound rests where the tail end of the needle still sticks out of the ground.

Legend tells that this was once a Jandar base of operations and that the Soulborgs suicide dived an aircraft into the castle to destroy it. And that the molten rock is from the still-active engine that drove the craft.
