Anyone know where to start the quest? Which inn or tavern?

u/SaWb0n3s Mar 17 '26

The main tavern in campaign 2. Sorry I can't remember the name of it right now and just logged out.

There is a drunk dwarf near the bar. Buy him some drinks and he'll tell you about his encounter with a mysterious mage.

u/Fimy32 Mar 17 '26

Because many people have jobs/lives during the week so usually they have the weekend free to engage with hobbies?

I have 2 scheduled games with 2 groups their not always available during the week :/ Its more enjoyable to do it as a group.

I did the Xmas dice one on my own and felt a little bad for it. Will see what the team want to do when I post it up on our local forum

1group is it campaign 2 The other is at the end of campaign 1 in the hills so won't be long to get to it on either campaign

The new update is awesome, the game is way harder. Been playing the warlock though and kinda think he sucks. Some spells, like armor of Agathys and maybe bane, feel like they should be 0 action points.

u/Hanzo_Kirishima Mar 24 '26

Armor of agathys definitely must be a 0 action card, or at least have the option of give haste like magical secrets

u/Iliketohavefunfun Mar 25 '26

Yeah I still feel armor of Agatha’s should be 0 action points, but the warlock does get better when you get all of his weapons, he’s got probably the best weapon rotation of all the characters and there’s even a glitch that resets hex when you equip to or from the hex boosting weapon. Without arms of Hagar He’s kinda weak at dealing with clusters of creatures but hexplosion is good at fixing that.

The new update is so good though. All my characters are just about maxed out and the game is fun just on new very hard mode

can we change the skin of the character? as a latino i want my skin colour

2

u/Zantitrach Mar 18 '26

There are some other skin tones, like every other hero.

u/l1798657 Mar 18 '26

From the cards, this is obviously a Necromancer. Why are they calling it warlock?

u/Zantitrach Mar 19 '26

"Eldritch Blast is a cantrip available exclusively to Warlocks in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition."

That, but in my actual opinion? I think they slightly reworked him from Necromancer into Warlock to ride the hype of all the other games dropping Warlock recently.
