Masquerade Ball - The middle school dance of board game quests

Thanks to Valerie for the post title.

The weekly game group met again for the first encounter of the third quest: The Masquerade Ball. In this installment, the Heroes are invited to the Ball but Lady Eliza reveals herself as a vampire. She and her minions are trying to find a certain Lord that the Heroes now need to rescue.

Both sides rip the masks off the attendees to rescue guests or reveal Overlord spies. The masked attendees are spread over the board but unfortunately, they ended up in easy reach of the Overlord and the game lasted all of two turns for each side.

This looks more fun than tonight's game

But the heroes still rescued one of the four guests and had a chance (one in six) for it to be the Lord. They rolled a die but unfortunately it was not.

Thanks to Valerie for this cool photo collection too.

Who knows what this outcome means for the second encounter but at least the Heroes are healthy and the Overlord's deck of cards is small (due to lack of turns to draw more).
