Find the lost youth

A young woman has vanished into Frostgrave Thinneth has entered with here war band to find the lost youth but a band of the Lizard Mage are here as well... and lord only know why they want to find the young woman. (the young woman is a random treasure token) This was a scenario Mike sort of made up on the fly but it added a narative structure to the game.
We carefully enter the part of the city the young lady is said to be in.
The Lizard Mage has initiative(I lost every initiative roll this game) and drops fog to screen his men
Caltha Harfoot secures the first token...
and a zombie stumbles into Thinneth's vicinity (note Mikes cool new hp tracker)

Hagman sneaks into a good shooting position.. but the Lizardman will move away before he can take the shot. 
guess I have to kill the Zombie 
Mike leaps his knight up to menace Arnulf the ranger... Thinneth tries an elemental bolt but the spell fizzles...
The Lizard apprentice and his human allies secure a treasure token
Samo finds the young woman trussed up by the spooky old well.
Arnulf fires and hits the lizard knight but the his armor absorbs the blow... Arnulf isn't a fool he drops down to get help!
Aelric moves up to threaten the lizard bowman..
More undead join the party.
We engage Aelric gets in a first good blow...
Martel with his newly enchanted hammer...
Takes down the human ally of the Lizard Mage
This time the lizard wins the throw Aelric is only saved by his magic armor...
but Hagman now takes a shot and downs the Lizard Aelric retreets to cover.
Martel and Ap Rosser engage the lizard mage's ranger but do not kill him and the last token is then carried off the board ending the game.
My war hound had a quiet game this was a close as he got to a fight sniffing out the Lizard Apprentice as the game ended.  Mike closed himself out of much of the board with his fog spells and Thinneth got tied down for two turns killing the Zombie though she did kill that large lizard knight when he leaped to into the fog and his wizard couldn't leap him out. I got a total of 310 XP enough to raise me to 32nd level.  Rescuing the lost woman gave me 100xp and I got to other treasure tokens worth 170 GC and two Grimoire giving me the spells bone dart and fools gold.

Genie In a Bottle

As Mike and I were playing our second game in a row we did a scenario to keep things interesting. We picked the Genie in a bottle as it didn't require a particular board set up. 
Here you can see the board it has few long sight lines.
Thinneth, Lucian and Drazenko advanced up the right side of the board and Thinneth used telekinesis to pull a token in to range (but I couldn't pick it up).
Caltha Harfoot moves up with my apprentices and grabs the first token and right off we get a Genie...
Milk's apprentice does his own telekinesis spell and grabs back the same toke I grabbed and pulls itb back but can't pick it up.
Mike's Marksman takes a shot at Lucian and hits him hard (a 10 health hit.
The Genie battles Caltha and my snow leopard we sin and dive him back.
Samo Harfoot take the book case token and Lucian scurries into the building looking for more cover.
My Knight has a magic sword now and moves up on the Genie
Mike Leaps his knight into the building and I move Samo up to stand side by side with Lucian...
Mike grabs a token and I get a wolf...
We engage the Genie and smack him hard! down to 4 health and engaged.
The wolf attacks Drazenko but is not match for the mighty barbarian...
Down goes the Genie
My new Ranger Rathgeir fires at mikes treasure hunter who is trying to sneak up on Calthar
Calthar uses a teleport potion to get away from the foe.
Mike has leaped or moved in more men and just manage to get Samo and Lucian out and while Thinneth and Drazenko step into the breach.
My apprentice tosses a grenade and hits the knight...
Thinneth hits the cluster of soldier with a grenade.
Mike takes down my apprentice with a well placed arrow... my ranger takes down the knight the same way.
In come the enemy soldier and Thinneth takes down first the Knight... (during the soldier phase)
and then the Tresur hunter
Lucian goes down to a long range elemental bolt... he almost made it. Samo drags his body off the board.
I got off the board with 3 regular tokens, the Genie's lamp and I killed the Genie, a very successful game for me. Better yet both my "dead" roll well on the survival table.  Mike played a good game and if I had made a mistake or he or I rolled a little differently he might have walked off with 4 tokens.

The Wrath of the Lizard Mage

Mike and I decided to play a standard scenario. Mike has a new war band (I want to say his wizard is 7th level, mine is 20th).  Gone is the old Sigilist war band now he's got a Lizardman witch thing going on.
I start the game gabby tokens with Telekinesis as Thinneth drops the token at the feet of one of my halflings.
We see sinister looking creatures covered in scales skittering toward us..
And one large cat headed creature... (demon in a bottle)
App Rosser is on the move with his bear escort.
The lizard apprentice is moving up as well, glimpsed through the ruined columns...
The apprentice drops fog.. Mike has learned to fear my skilled archers
Mike has initiative (every turn bu the first one!) and his men are moving up.
I cast Grenade and Lucian uses his explosive cocktail but we both miss.. no damage is done... I Caltha Harfoot just barely manages to shrug off a mind control spell
My archer shoots the lizard at arms..
Then Bumby and Miska move up to engage... Bumby is savagely stabbed by the lizard and has but one hit point left
App Rosser says get over here treasure with Telekinesis...
Looks like this guy want a piece of Aelric
But I manage to avoid him..
I also stick an arrow in the lizard apprentice...
Things are looking good...
The the Lizard wizard (say that 5 times fast) strikes down my apprentice with elemental bolt
We mob the lizard at arms (after Thinneth casts strength)
Lizarad troops are on the way...
Miska runs interference...
While Thinneth deals with the vile lizard
Bumby despite his injuries joins miska and the lizard soldier is sent Back ..
My attempt to shoot the wizard fails...
And fist Lucian and then a turn later Raul is killed by the wizards elemental bots... I killed one more lizard, lost my dog and failed to get the wizard and apprentice with a grenade spell.. At this point the last token is declared off the table (it wasn't but it was close and both mike and I want The bleeding to stop). This was a savage battle and both of us lost several soldiers.  Miska, Raul and App Rosser are permanently dead by the last is revived by the elixir of life.  Lucian come back to the hide out after hiding in a hole the snow for several hours... Thinneth was very please to see her old battle companion.
