strange; Knolls usually leave humans alone.
Goblin war parties to the east are on patrol near Goblin

(P/F) Plains/Forest: Peaceful Travel
You travel easily, the long peaceful hills and valleys of the

The Troll Prince escapes by a different route, telling you to
meet him in Ulendi. He is going to escape to charter a boat.
You agree to meet him there. But first: escape.
First you must successfully play a Z2 encounter to escape
the cave with the Princess (this card) in your care.
Unfortunately she doesn’t trust humans and continually
tries to escape, lowering your ability to rest and fight.
Then you must return to Ulendi with the Princess.
If you succeed, the happy couple escapes the land and you

Should you fail (run out of cards), the Goblin Princess
perishes. You are considered cursed by the Goblins, and if
you didn’t die, you soon wish you had.

You slosh through the swamp, and find a dry hill to make

Knolls, he will spawn a wave of Wolf-monsters—the way he
made the others—to wipe out all humans in the land. Only
his death can end the peril and win the Quest.

To do this, you must draw a single card.

before each draw whether the next card will be higher or
lower (so you will make 4 guesses).
You may modify the drawn card’s value by 2× the Survival
modifier of any card you exhaust.
Failure in any of them: You become lost and finish the turn.
If you try the maze again next turn, you only need to
succeed at 3 guesses, then two guesses, etc. (You must
always make at least one guess to succeed.)
