Battle Report: Ashlynn D'Elyse v. Feora, Protector of the Flame

Here's my first battle report!  Ashlynn, the well renowned duelist that she is, couldn't turn down a challenge.  With no fear of fire, she met against Feora in battle.  However, no matter her fearlessness of fire, Ashlynn ultimately met her end at the hands of her fiery opponent.

Nyss Hunters (max)
Aiyana and Holt

-UA
Choir (min)
Vassal of Menoth

Deployment

Turn 1

Turn 1 started with a bang.  Joe, my opponent went first.  First thing that happens, eEiryss dies to a Redeemer rocket!  Mule also gets caught on fire.  Cast Escort and Ignite, and everything advances or runs.  

Ashlynn starts, casts Quicken on the Nyss, and Admonition on herself.  Nyss Hunters kill 3 Errants.  Everything else runs or walks.  

Turn 2

Feora upkeeps both spells.  Errants charge into the Nyss, missing all but one melee attacks, and missing with the Quick Work attack as well.  The Redeemer went off on his shots, setting a lot of my guys on fire, including the Dude (Gun Mages UA; the origin of his title 'the Dude' is unknown).  Reckoner pot shotted the Nomad doing minimal damage.  

The Dude and a couple of Gun Mages die to fire.  Ashlynn upkeeps both spells.  3 focus to Nomad.  Ashlynn activates, feats, and kills a choir member.  Nyss Hunters kill all but the Officer of the Errants unit.  Mule advances and hits the Redeemer, critically hits, catching Feora in the AOE as well.  Does minimal damage to the Redeemer, none to Feora.  Gorman throws a rust bomb at the Reckoner.  Aiyana Harms the Reckoner, Holt shoots the Reckoner twice, doing a few damage.  Nomad charges, staying out of Rust, and kills the Reckoner.  The remaining Gun Mages Thunderbolt the Avatar back into the forest (the picture is somewhat off, as we forgot that pushing into rough terrain halves the push distance).  

Turn 3

Doh! I forgot to take pictures for both of our third turns!  It was really intense.  Hopefully you can visualize it based on description.  

Feora drops Ignite, keeps Escort.  The remaining Errant attempts to kill some Nyss, flubbing some rolls.  The Repenter and the Redeemer kill the remaining Gun Mages and Gorman (which I realized after the fact that he's immune to fire).  Redeemer also manages to set Ashlynn on fire, and does quite a bit of damage.  Avatar runs to block charge lanes, and Ashlynn takes her Admonition move, to try and stay out of Feora's control (for the Caustic Presence).  Feora moves up and Ashlynn is barely out!  Feora feats anyway, getting one focus from the Mule on fire, thinking she'll need the extra focus to survive assassination.  

Ashlynn upkeeps Quicken.  3 focus to Nomad.  Mule attempts to shoot Feora, only hitting her with blast damage.  Aiyana and Holt try to shoot/Harm, but all misses.  Nyss Hunters hit a few times against Feora, but at dice minus eleven, they were hard pressed to do any damage.  Nomad charges in, bringing her down to six health left!  Decided to try and shoot with Ashlynn, hit (needing 12s), but not high enough on the damage roll to kill.  Ended turn by casting Admonition.  

Turn 4

No upkeeps.  Repenter gets out of the way of Feora, and does token attacks against the Nomad.  Avatar advances against Ashlynn, and she Admonitions out of the way.  Tried to get completely behind the Nyss Hunters, but no beans.  Feora Fire Steps, charges, hits, and kills Ashlynn.  

Overall, it was a great game.  Lots of laughs, many tense moments that depended on the dice.  Well, there you have it, my first battle report!
