The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted

Not much to show off this week.  It was a rare weekend of Gloomhaven for my group.  We get in perhaps 4 weekends a year on average I think, and play 4-6 games each weekend.  This huge campaign has lasted us many years now and the end isn’t in sight yet.  I’m enjoying it, but I’d love the chance for us to play other campaign games eventually.  I also feel that my current character is occasionally a liability (I’m the two box character) to the group, even though he is enjoyable.  My retirement conditions also appear to be impossibly unless we go back and repeat a dungeon we’ve already done.  That seems like a bit of a waste, given how little we get to play anyway.  I hope Isaac Childres has learned from this and made the conditions for things a little more flexible for future iterations of the game.

Anyway, despite spending the weekend away I was able to prime, basecoat and wash my 22 skeletons.  I’ve also printed out some double sided tokens for Kingdom Death and I’ve been gluing them to some card.  keeping track of what survival actions have been used each round is impossible otherwise, and I’m not paying $20+ postage for 20 small cardboard tokens that should have been free in the core box anyway.

I beat the King’s Man Sunday evening too.  I’m now trying to work out what I ant to hunt next.  Am I ready for lvl 3 quarry?  Should I be able to face a lvl 1 phoenix?  His aging powers terrify me.  He can hit you hard enough to send your party back to the start of the game with all their equipment and skills and nothing else, or just erase everyone from time!  It’s my Lantern year 10.  A few more years of farming lvl 2 lions and goats is ok, right?  Is there anything I should be looking at to build for protection against the phoenix?
