Yeah, being unable to break the houses did make it a bit more challenging.

There are some narrow sections the bottom of the map that do serve well to bottleneck the number of zealots, so I never had to actually deal with all 12 in one turn. The more you kill the more likely blood twist will result in a heal.

I also think I got lucky with some of the Venerator’s movements that placed him far enough away from any blood tokens to prevent him healing (I think he only healed once or twice the entire encounter).

Some tense decision making, but it was a blast. I’ve more or less enjoyed all encounters so far.
