Well there was a huge storm here Wednesday night and come Thursday morning the person in the basement room wakes up, steps out of bed... into water...The whole complex is flooding. Three houses down and the water is 2 feet deep and rising. For us its approaching an inch deep and rising. So we have to scramble to save things down there and then scramble to move about everything out of the basement later for cleanup.
So the gem? Well. We discovered three boxes of lost Valkyrie HeroScape stuff...
One mostly intact and still packed box.
and whats looking like 5 loose sets... As I have 5 Raelin the Kyrie sitting here now. Not including the one still in its box.
The boxes are from various iterations, I found one packet of 10 blue and 10 red dice and one packet of 12 white dice. No transparent water tiles.
Havent done a count of the tiles but I'd guess theres going to be 5 loose sets each, plus my own box and the still packed box. Give or take a few missing items. A quick glance over just so far shows one missing Gerda glyph.
Water damage was minimal. One rulebook and scenario book got wet, and alot of tiles got soaked but the tiles shrugg off everything. Interestingly the staples on the rulebook rusted instantly as they couldnt have been in water more than a half hour but had totally rusted.
Bemusingly, the water tiles, when wet, became super cling magnets. They stuck to everything. Sides of box, land tiles, dice, could lift dice with the water tiles. aheh.
At a guess this must be the batch of 8-10 boxes we got for absolutely dirt cheap at a clearance. I think they were 5$ each.
So yeah. Flooding. What a wonderful day...
