I didn't spoiler this post, but if you don't want to know details about the scenario, don't read it.
I soloed this scenario tonight with CD Kyra, CD Harsk and Radillo. For me, this was the toughest scenario of the season so far. I had thought 1-4C was tough. This was tougher.
A key strategic decision is to whom to give Queen Galfrey and to what location to send them. I decided to give Harsk the Queen and send him to the Armory, while Kyra went to the Guardpost.
Runelord Alderpash showed up early. I think this card is a cheat: be a caster with the right card in you hand or nearly hand-wipe the entire party. No one had armor at the time.
Sometimes luck was with me, sometimes not. I beat the odds on the add-a-monster rolls, but in my first showdown with the villain, the monster I drew was the Umbral Dragon. Both Kyra and Harsk lost their role cards. Harsk only had a single blessing for the villain fight and two mythic charges, and several dice came up 1, including a d20. I failed the roll by 1. (Kyra had used the party's last two die bumps in her check against the Umbral Dragon, when two of her dice came up 1.)
I was better situated for the second villain fight, with blessings to spare. Fighting the villain, Radillo drew a Horned Demon, and used a stat-stone and a Milani to keep from losing the spell she wanted. Down to a single mythic charge, she used a Nocticula and blessings from the other two characters to beat Alulasavi the old-fashioned way.
It's a clever design, and a real double-whammy, that both the henchmen and the villain cause you to expend mythic charges. This definitely increased the challenge.

Thanks for the post. It's really good getting to know how these do in the wild :)
Some vicious setbacks, nice to see you still pull it off.
