INTRODUCTION

Heroquest is one of the most influential dungeon crawlers of all time. Many new games openly state
they emulate aspects of its gameplay. Out of print for twenty years, it grew in popularity and inspired
an online community first at Agin’s Inn then its successor www.yeoldeinn.com, The jewel in the
crown is the forum, which has over 600 homebrew quests and a large collection of house rules.

A consensus emerged as to what are the most useful house rules. Many stem from the heroes finding
the original game too easy. The North American version is typically used, where the most significant
change gives the Monsters more BP. It can be thought of as the second iteration of the game, though
many prefer the old-school styling of the EU Quest Map and cards. Other fixes in widespread use
include giving the Monsters abilities and using an Evil Wizard Deck (called an “Events” deck here)
that allow Zargon to draw a card that is detrimental to Heroes (eg Ambush!). Furthermore, there is
an extensive Wizard Clearing House of Rules in the forum, as the Wizard is considered the weakest
character.

Super Heroquest was designed with the above starting point. In addition to the 180-card Events
deck, the Heroes can pick up injuries and skills. These are designed to be characterful rather than
powerful, and each time the Heroes gain a skill they are given one of three skills randomly. There are
rules for travelling between quests, emulating the rules from WHQ to include travelling hazards,
tavern shenanigans and item stock. Together with the random skill and injury selection, this adds
replay value, as Heroes are never guaranteed to obtain their weapon or potion of choice, they need
to make do with what’s available! There are many path of progression.

Once the Heroes had cards for skills, injuries, weapons, items etc, it was necessary to find a way of
displaying these cards lying flat on the table instead of being held. The solution was the design of the
cards to have “docks” where weapons and armour can slide under the Hero card to show what
equipment the Hero is wearing at that moment. The character sheet is replaced with a Status Card,
where MP and BP are tracked with a paperclip on a sliding scale, and there are places to “dock” skills,
injuries, and items that are stored in the Hero’s pack, ie those not worn or held. It was considered
necessary to keep a space to write in gold and XP instead of counters. A character sheet is retained
to keep track of certain effects, often due to events that occur between quests.

Other changes include the increased granularity of coloured dice; a simiple method of
encumberance, and searching uncertainty. Whilst searching was a defining feature of the original, it
has been criticised for lacking a “false negative”; ie if Zargon stated there were no secret doors, the
Heroes were certain there were none. A source of added tension, and possible extra searching (and
therefore wandering monsters) is to re-search an area just to be sure, with the risk of something
appearing…The rolls added for searching uncertainty are more than compensated by removing the
roll to move: there are fewer rolls overall.

The rules for between quests are entirely optional, and using the original rules work here, the cards
have their value in gold printed on them for this reason. Travelling hazards and visiting taverns
requires table rolling, which isn’t liked by some and can be ignored.

4
Importantly, these rules are fully compatible with all existing quests. Heroes and Monsters have
different stats and skills etc. In the same vien, the text of the original rulebook was kept as close to
the original as possible.

None of these ideas would be possible without the input of the community, and special thanks must
go to Lemmeron for his equipment cards, and Showdown35 for the recast rule and Hero stats. Many
others’ ideas are used, from the Event Cards to coloured dice, but these two feed directly into Super
Heroquest.

The best thing about Heroquest is the community. I hope others enjoy using Super Heroquest as I
have enjoyed others’ homebrews. A big thank you to everyone at Ye Olde Inn.

QUESTS

One player must assume the role of Zargon, the Evil Sorcerer. The other players assume the role of
the Heroes. Using fewer than four Heroes will make the adventure more difficult, so each player may
control more than one Hero. The Quest Book is for Zargon only – they set up the Dungeon as the
Heroes progress through it.

The role of Zargon is a vital one: Zargon is the gamesmaster, sits behind a screen and controls the
quest for the other players. They alone know where the Monsters, Secret Doors, Traps and Treasure
are located in the labyrinth, and only they can access the Quest Books. There are sections of each
Quest that must be read aloud to the other players. These paragraphs are noted in the Quest Book
and are located just below the map.

The most important role of Zargon is to ensure the players have a good experience. This means
bending the rules where necessary; eg adding or removing monsters to rooms to make them
easier/harder, giving players clues if they are getting stuck, or altering the Quest in any imaginative
way. The role of Zargon is NOT to defeat the Heroes at all costs.

To start, open the Quest Book, and find Quest 1 – “The Trial”. This Quest must be played first. Read
it silently to yourself. Each Quest features three different sections: The Parchment Text, the Quest
Map, and the Quest Notes.

The Parchment Text outlines the Heroes’ challenge as well as the reward they will receive if they are
successful. This section is always read aloud to the Hero Players at the start of the game.

The Quest Map shows how the board is to be laid out as the game progresses. The Map is marked
with symbols that show the starting positions of the Monsters. These symbols are identical to those
on each of the Monster Cards and are identified on the Information Screen. The maps also shows you
where to place pieces of furniture, stairs, doors and blocked square tiles. In addition, there are
symbols for traps, secret doors and treasure chests. These symbols are shown in the identifications
guide on the cardboard platform.

7
Important
Do not place anything on the gameboard at the start. You will reveal the board layout only when the
Hero figures have moved to a position that allows them to see what’s ahead.

There are some map colours that indicate what can be found by searching:

Gold: Indicates traps that can be found by searching

Light Green: Indicates traps and other hazards that the Heroes can neither see or
find through searching

Dark Green: Indicates Monster symbols

Read the Quest Notes thoroughly before the start of the Quest. They explain what happens in certain
rooms and detail the unique situations the Hero players will have to contend with. Read the notes
silently to yourself. You will later disclose the Quest Notes information to the Heroes as the Quest
unfolds, as the Heroes move into certain rooms and corridors. Place the Quest Book on the table
between you and the Information Screen.

Organise the Furniture and Monsters for easy access during the game.

Study the Quest Map, and place on the board only the things that go into the starting room/corridor.
This is usually the stairway:

Do NOT put out any Secret Traps or Doors

Do NOT reveal any treasure yet

Direct the Heroes to add two paperclips to the left of the status card, one for Body Points (BP)and
the other for Mind Points (MP). During the Quest, the Heroes’ MP, BP, gold and experience points (XP)

8
will change. These need to be recorded on the status card. To record BP and MP, slide the paperclips
up and down as appropriate; to record Gold Coins and XP simply write the number in the box and
rub out when needed.

Items can be “equipped” or “carried”. They should take Equipment cards to reflect both. Equipped
items are those that are worn or held in the hands; the rest are carried in the pack. Place any
equipped items into the appropriate slot around the Hero card and the others into the pack to the
right of the status card. The starting equipment is:

Barbarian Broadsword
Elf Shortsword, one spell book
Dwarf Hand axe
Wizard Staff, three spell books
Ranger Hand axe, bow
Paladin Shortsword
Halfling Shortsword, shortbow
Trollslayer Hand axe

Keep them face down in a pile within easy reach of all of the players. The pack should be reshuffled
between each Quest, returning any previously used Treasure Cards to the deck.

Keep the pile of Monster cards near the gameboard. Select the Monsters the Heroes will encounter
during the Quest; when a Monster is encountered, give the Monster Card to the players for reference.
This will also allow Heroes to keep track of the different Monsters encountered during the Quest.

Have these cards to hand as you will need them regularly throughout your Quest. Zargon will draw
one every ten minutes.

Several dice are needed. In addition to ordinary D6 dice, you will need coloured combat dice of the
following colours. They each have a different combination of symbols:

9
 Skull: One hit, either by a Hero or
─ Monster
Shield: One successful defence by a
━ Hero; it negates one skull rolled by a
Monster in Attack
Monster Shield: One successful
│ defence by a Monster; it negates one
skull rolled by a Hero in Attack

Read the Parchment Text. It is important that the Heroes understand the history and the context of
their Quest.

Only read the Parchment Text, other information must be kept secret from the Heroes.

Heroes begin their Quest by descending into the Dungeon. They will find themselves in a room or
corridor. If they begin in a room, they usually have descended down a staircase, so they are placed
on the staircase tile, which takes up 4 squares. If they enter along a corridor, the entry door is placed
on the board. At the start of the Quest, the Heroes line up outside (off the board) and ask Zargon to
open the door…

The Heroes agree amongst themselves what order they will take their turns

The Quest is complete once the Heroes have completed their objective and have returned to the
surface. This will typically be through going back up the stairs or by another exit as determined by
the Quest. They may split any treasure between themselves as they see fit. The Heroes may choose
to leave the Quest at any point by returning to the stairway tile.

10
Immediately upon completing a Quest, the Heroes heal half their BP and MP, rounding up.

This represents them emerging from the dungeon, finding safety in a nearby wood or similar
location, and gaining some rest. They may tend to minor woulds, eat some food and drink water.
However to fully recover they need to find a settlement; living from their backpack after a Quest isn’t
enough. They also will want to spend their hard-earned gold! However the Old World is a big place,
and it won't always be possible for the Warriors to find what they want. Many of the caves and
caverns that the Warriors explore are situated on the fringes of the Old World, where large
settlements are scarce. In these areas, the Warriors will be lucky just to find somewhere to sleep for
the night, and there is no chance at all of finding a fine suit of heavy armour for sale. If what the
Warriors want to buy isn't available where they are, they have to make a choice - do they travel to
the nearest town, or do they simply make do with the supplies available at the local village?

Travelling in the Old World comes with its own hazards. The longer the journey, the greater the
chance of something awful happening to the Warriors. All this 'between game' play is resolved using
the tables found in Appendix 3 - Hazards. No board sections are actually laid out for this part of a
campaign, and no miniatures are used. The tables are designed to give a sense of background and
continuity to the dungeon adventures, and make the point that the dungeons are but a small part of
the huge perilous realm that is the Old World. Once you know how far away the Warriors' destination
is, you can work out how long it takes them to get there, and what costs and encounters they incur
on their way. If the Warriors trek all the way to a distant city to spend their gold on better armour,
the journey will be very perilous and they may encounter all sorts of hazards.

Before the Warriors can spend any of their gold, the players must decide where they are going to,
and how far they are from their chosen destination. The underground locations of the Warriors'
adventures are nearly always situated in bleak wilderness areas, many miles from any inhabited
areas the Warriors may want to visit. The Travel Table below shows how far the adventure site is from
the nearest villages, towns and cities. The distance is represented by a number of weeks' travel, with
each week's travel requiring one roll on the Hazard table. Upon completing an adventure, the
Warriors roll and check the table below:

Village 1 + number of │
Town 2 + number of ━
City 3 + number of ─

11
Once the Warriors have finished an adventure, the players must decide whether the party is going to
travel to a village, a town or a city. The Travel Table gives the time it takes for the Warriors to make
the journey, and how many Hazards they encounter.

Example
The Warriors finish a hard adventure and rescue and ancient sword from the clutches of a Chaos
Demon. They roll ─ ─ │ for the travel distance. That meas the nearest village is 2 weeks away (1+ │);
the nearest town is also weeks away (2+ zero ━) and the nearest city is a full five weeks’s distance of
travelling away (3+──). They choose to go to the town, and therefore make two rolls on the Hazards
table.

Each settlement lists what settlement locations there are, and how much gold each hero has to pay
to stay there. Your party may choose how many warriors will attend the tavern. Any tavern events
that affect one hero affect a randomly chosen hero from those present at the tavern. Villages are less
likely to have the servies the heroes need but they may be cheaper, likewise if heroes need a specific
item they are more likely to find it in a city, but it is likely to be rather expensive!

It is sometimes required that the Heroes have a specific Artifact in their possession to continue on
the next Quest. If a Hero dies whilst in possession of such a valuable relic and the Monsters steal the
Artifact, it must be included as a special Treasure early in the next Quest – but rather well guarded!

12
HEROES

Each Hero is represented by a Hero Card. The front

shows
• The Hero’s base Attack and Defence dice. This is
combined with the Hero’s equipment to determine
the final Attack and Defence dice:

Base attack + equipment bonus = final attack

• Their movement value. Each item the Hero has

reduces this by one (see Movement); for every two
small items (designated by smaller cards) the
movement is reduced by one
• The Hero’s BP and MP
• Any abilities they have
• Four slots around the edges:
TOP – helms
RIGHT – armour/clothing
LEFT – hand-held weapons/shields etc
BOTTOM

The back of the Hero card shows what their starting equipment is, and what skills are available at
each level.

Heroes are allowed to be equipped with one TYPE of item in each equipment slot:

Type of equipment – Heroes

can only have one type in
each slot

13
Example
The elf is armed with one helm, one suit of armour and a pair of boots. They are also holding a Round
Shield and a Shortsword. They could swap the shield for a bow, however they cannot hold two
shields or two bows as they would be holding two of the same type of weapon

14
This displays the Hero’s essential information:
• Body Points and Mind Points are tracked by moving a paperclip along the left
• Gold and Experience Points are tracked by writing in pencil in the appropriate space
• Skills fit into the slot at the top; Injuries fit into the slot at the bottom
• The Hero’s Battle Level is displayed in the table by ticking the appropriate box. This also
shows how many XP the Hero needs to go up a Battle Level. A Warrior is Battle Level 1, a
Renowned Hero is Battle Level 2 and so on up to Battle Level 6 for a Legend
• Items the Hero is carrying but isn’t equipped with are stored in the pack, designated by
the slot on the right. These may be exchanged through a Reequip action:
• Carried: Items stored in the pack; cannot be used
• Equipped: Items held or worn, can be used

BP and MP Battle
tracker Skills Level

Pack for
carried items

Experience Injuries Gold

Points

15
When a Hero reaches 0 BP, they are not dead, but bleeding.

There is a chance for the Hero to save themselves: when a Hero’s BP reaches 0, they can immediately,
out of the usual turn sequence:

Drink a Healing Potion to restore BP

Cast a Spell on themselves that can restore BP

If they cannot do the above and are left on 0BP, place their figure lying down on the board with 3
counters next to it. They have 3 turns of bleeding, represented by the three counters, before they are
dead. One counter is removed at the start of each Hero turn apart from the first. The Hero is dead
when the last counter is removed.

A Hero can stop another Hero from bleeding out by using their action in an adjacent square as long
as they are not in combat; the bandage action. It's assumed Heroes carry bandages etc.

A Hero who is on 0BP and has stopped bleeding is down. They cannot move or defend. They can
however be carried, or be given other potions/spells to restore BP. If they are attacked whilst down
they they are dead, no dice rolls are required. A monster who is adjacent to a downed Hero or a
fighting Hero must attack the fighting Hero.

A Hero can carry another Hero who is down, but their movement is reduced by five squares to a
minimum of 1 square, and they attack and defend using only their base die.

If a Hero was reduced to 0BP during the quest and didn't subsequently die, they suffered an injury.
They draw an injury card.

When a Hero reaches 0 Mind Points (MP), they are not dead but in shock. They move a maximum of
3 squares (or less, if they are burdened by lots of equipment ) and cannot use any weapons in Attack
or Defence; they only use their base stats to Attack. Any armour they are wearing still contributes to
their Defence. Their stats can be temporarily increased by Spells.

The extra MP gained from certain Artifacts (eg the Talisman of Lore) can be lost in Combat.

Example
Keld Necksnapper, a Barbarian with the Talisman of Lore, has 3MP. He becomes the victim of a Spell
that causes him to lose 3MP. Consequently he goes into shock, and the additional MP from the
Talisman of Lore is lost

16
THE HERO TURN

Heroes may Move and then perform an Action, or they may perform an Action and then Move. They
may not, however, Move, perform an Action, and then finish their Move. Getting caught in a trap,
drinking potions and picking things up do not count as actions. They can be done at any time during
the Heroes’ turn.

They may drink a potion at any time, even in Zargon’s turn. This is mandatory if the Hero is on 0 Body
points otherwise they start bleeding.

Attack a Monster in an adjacent square in hand-to-hand combat, or shoot with a ranged weapon
Search for Treasure, Secret Doors, or Traps
Loot Force open a treasure chest using a toolkit
Disarm a trap using a toolkit
Exchange any number of items with an adjacent hero
Reequip Exchange any number of items that you are carrying in your pack with those that are equipped
Cast a spell
Bandage Stabilise a bleeding Hero
Pray Ask the gods for favours

17
Heroes may move the distance shown on their Hero card with a -1 modifier for each item carried or
equipped, and a -1 modifier for every two small items carried/equipped.

This Elf has a movement of 12; however they are equipped with five items. Their movement is reduced
to 7 squares, but the boots give +2 movement, so the total becomes 9

18
If the elf is also carrying two potions and another suit of armour (which they might have found during
the quest), indicated by placing the cards under the backpack symbol on the status card, their
movement would be reduced by another 2 squares down to 7 squares:

The carried suit of armour gives a -1 movement modifier, and the two potions, both small items,
together give a -1 modifier.

Heroes must end their move in an unoccupied square. They may move diagonally. They may not
move through other models other than friendly models unless that model has lost two Body Points
in the current turn:

Figures may move through hostile models that have lost two Body Points that turn

This represents the figure clutching a wound, taking evasive action from a series of attacks (such as
ducking for cover), stepping aside etc; all of which make it easier for another figure to slip past them!

Heroes may not share squares with other Heroes, apart from inside Pit Traps or on a staircase.

19
Whilst moving a Hero may “look” down a corridor or through an open door. Looking gives the
opportunity to see what is directly within your line of sight, such as closed doors, blocked square
paces and Monsters. Looking is not an Action. Heroes may move adjacent to a closed door and ask
Zargon to open it. Zargon will open the door by removing the closed door piece and replacing it with
an open door piece. Opening a door is not an action. Both “looking” and “opening” are considered
things the Hero can do in their turn.

All doors start closed. Once a door is opened, it can never be closed – the melee and stress of the
Quest prevent the closing of a door.

Closed door Open door

As part of movement Heroes may open a door at any time

20
Heroes may only talk to each other if reasonably possible, usually if in their line of sight. Players
whose Heroes may not talk to each other on the board may not talk to each other during the game
(about game-related things; offers to make tea are perfectly acceptable!)

In the diagram above, the Barbarian has a line of sight to the Elf, so the players controlling those two
Heroes may talk to one another. However, the players controlling the Wizard and the Barbarian may
not speak – the Wizard and Barbarian would not be able to speak during the Quest.

If the Heroes do talk to one another in a way that is inappropriate, they are deemed to have shouted,
and might be heard by Monsters. Zargon rolls . On the roll of a ─ a Wondering Monster has heard
the commotion and appears and immediately, attacking the Hero that shouted loudly.

There are many kinds of Traps. They can be found in both Rooms and Corridors. Only Zargon knows
where these Traps are hidden. If a Hero moves onto a square that contains a Trap, they will spring
the Trap, possibly hurting themselves in the process. See Appendix 2 – Traps. Monsters do not spring
Traps, as they are the inhabitants of the dungeon, know where they all are and how to avoid them.

Once a Trap is discovered through a search action, a Hero may Jump the Trap. Alternatively in their
next turn, they may disarm the Trap. Disarming a Trap is a separate Action, whereas Jumping a Trap
is considered to be part of the Hero’s Movement.

If a Hero’s path is blocked by a trap, they may attempt to pass by jumping over it. To jump over a
trap, they must have at least two squares of movement remaining, as if you moved onto the trap
square and then onto one unoccupied adjacent square beyond.

21
You must roll anything but a skull on a to jump the trap. If a ─ is rolled, you spring the trap, suffering
the damage caused by that particular type of trap. If there is a corresponding trap tile, it will then be
put on the game board by Zargon. You are then put on the trap square. This ends your turn.

If you avoid rolling a ─, you can jump over the trap, expending two squares of movement. If you have
any squares of movement remaining, the Hero can continue to move.

NB: Once a falling block trap has been sprung, it cannot be jumped. The path is permanently blocked
by a wall of collapsed stone.

Once a Pit Trap has been sprung, the hole in the ground, whilst still dangerous, can be jumped.

There may be as many as three possible squares to jump to on the other side of a single Pit Trap.
However, a pit in the corner of a corridor has only one space available to jump across to. In the
diagram below, the Hero must jump across to square X. However if square X is occupied by a Monster,
the Hero Attacks the Monsters as part of the jump. If the Monster loses any BP, they are moved back
one square and the Hero occupies the Monster’s square. If the Hero does no damage in the attack,
they fall into the Pit.

If a Hero wants to jump over a Long Pit Trap the long way, they need three squares of movement
available for the jump. The Hero then rolls . On a ─ the Hero jumps across safely, using three
squares of movement. On any other result, the Hero falls into the pit, suffering 2BP of damage.

Zargon must carefully watch a Hero’s movement, continually referring to the Quest Map in the Quest
Book. When a Hero “looks” down a corridor, place on the board any closed doors, blocked square
tiles and Monsters that are directly within the Hero’s line of sight. When a Hero opens a door, place
on the board the Monsters, Treasure Chests, and any other items that belong in that room. Do not
put out any Traps or Secret Doors. Do not reveal Treasure.

22
As Zargon, you must place a blocked square tile on the board as soon as it becomes visible to a Hero.
These tiles show where walls exist. Neither Heroes or Monsters can move through blocked squares.
Some spells create Magical Barriers – details of each are found on the relevant spell card.

These tiles take up an entire room or may combine more than one room. They are placed on top of
the board. Some tiles are for decorative purposes, in order to add atmosphere. Others however may
have natural Traps or are Traps themselves. These rooms have specific purposes in certain Quests,
as outline in the relevant Quest Map.

23
A Hero may attack any Monster that they are adjacent to. The Hero may not attack diagonally as the
movement is too awkward or the Monster is just out of reach. Some weapons, especially larger and
longer weapons, allow the Hero to attack diagonally.

The Elf is able to attack the Orc from any of these four positions.

The Hero may Attack only once per Turn. The Hero’s Attack strength depends on two factors: their
natural aptitude in combat, and the weapon they are using. Each Hero has a Base Attack Die, as
shown on their Character Card:

The Ranger has a base attack of . The different coloured dice have different distributions of ─, ━,
and │. Some are better at attacking, others defending, and others are a mix of the two. Some have
two icons on one side – these represents an especially powerful block or strike.

24
Each ─ is considered a hit. The monster immediately rolls their Defence Dice. Any │ rolled reduces
the damage by 1BP. If the number of ─ exceeds the number of │, that is how many BP the Monster
loses. If the Monster’s BP reaches zero, the Monster is dead and removed from play. If the Monster
survives the Attack, it cannot Attack the Hero again until Zargon’s next Turn.

A Barbarian is fighting an Orc. The Barbarian rolls ─── in attack, a very good result. The Orc manages
to roll │ in defence. This reduces the damage by one, so the Orc loses only 2BP. As the Orc only has
1BP, that is enough to slay the Monster.

Some weapons, such as the Wizard’s staff, allow a Hero to attack diagonally.

The wizard, with a staff, is in a safe position – he can Attack the Orc, but the Orc cannot Attack the
wizard back!

Using weapons that allow a Hero to Attack diagonally can result in more than one Hero being able to
Attack a Monster blocking a doorway:

Both the Wizard and the Barbarian may attack the monster blocking the doorway. The Wizard, with a
staff, may attack diagonally. The Barbarian, with a broadsword, may attack adjacently

Complete information for all the Weapons can be found on the weapon card.

25
Some weapons can hit a Monster from a distance, for example Bows, Crossbows and thrown
Daggers. A figure can only shoot an opponent that is in its line of sight. A good rule of thumb is to
draw an imaginary line from the Hero to the Target. If that line doesn’t pass through any Characters
or obstacles such as walls and doors, then the target is visible.

The Elf can see all of the Orcs, apart from the Orc behind the door in front of the Elf, and the Orc
around the corner. The Elf doesn’t know how dangerous the situation is…

26
Shooting damage is worked out the same as for hand-to-hand combat: add the weapons bonus to
the character’s base strength.

Here the Ranger’s base attack is . The bow gives + to the Ranger’s attack.

Any weapons with the key word “Ranged” are weapons that can shoot.

If all │ are rolled in attack, it is assumed the weapon runs out of ammunition and cannot be used
again this Quest.

These can be thrown a distance equal to the Hero’s current BP, and can be retrieved via a Search
action.

27
A Hero may carry out a Search action of a room or corridor, hoping to find traps, treasure, or secret
doors, as long as there are no monsters present.

The hero’s search radius is their current Mind Points

When a hero carries out a Search action, roll and 1D6

On anything other than a │ they find the number of traps, secret doors or treasures indicated by the
D6, up to the quantity indicated by the quest notes, eg if the D6 roll is a 4 but there are only 2 traps in
the room, Zargon reveals just the 2. It is Zargons choice which objects to reveal and keep hidden. He
may reveal two traps and no secret doors, or one trap and one secret door for example.

If the Heroes search a room for treasure but the quest notes indicate there is no treasure, they must
draw a Treasure Card.

EXAMPLE
The Elf enters a room and carries out a Search. They roll 1D6 and . They get a 3 and ─. The ─
indicates that no wandering monsters appear; whilst the 3 indicates they have located up to 3 hidden
objects. The quest notes indicate that there are two traps within the Elf’s search radius (their MP), so
their locations are revealed, but the tiles are not placed on the board. There is one secret door in the
room, but that is out of the search radius so is NOT revealed. The quest notes indicate there is no
treasure in the room, so as 2 traps were revealed, but the Elf rolled a 3, the last search point is used
to draw a Treasure card.

When traps are found, the tiles are not placed on the board .

This roll doesn't include treasure in chests, which need to be searched separately, just room or
furniture treasure. If there is no treasure indicated in the quests notes for a room, the heroes draw a
Treasure Card as normal. Furniture (other than treasure chests) does not need to be searched
separately.

If they roll a │ on the search roll they do not find anything; instead a wandering monster is placed in
a square adjacent to any entry door to the room or the hero carrying out the search, and may move
and attack immediately.

28
 If a secret door is found, Zargon places the Secret Door tile on the board in the
appropriate square. As with searching for Treasure, the Hero isn’t moved when
searching for a Secret Door.

The door is not considered Open until a Hero declares they are opening it.
Once the door is opened, Zargon lays out the contents beyond the door in the
normal way.

Once opened, the Secret Door cannot be closed.

NB – most Secret Doors can be found by searching both sides of the wall, however on occasion is this
not the case. Carefully read the Quest Book in advance to check for this.

The Heroes must decide amongst themselves who carries what items (Gold, Treasure etc) and how
they are used or sold. For example, if a Hero finds 20 Gold Coins, it is assumed that Hero takes
possession of those Gold Coins unless the use the Pass Item action to another Hero. If another Hero
requires those 20 Gold Coins in order to complete a purchase, it is up to the Player’s discretion as to
whether or not their Hero gives those Gold Coins to their companion!

Beware – some Treasure Cards represent Wandering Monsters who Attack the Heroes whilst they are
searching and their guard is down. These cards ARE returned to the Treasure Deck after use. This
increases the percentage of Wandering Monster cards in the deck, representing the greater danger
the Heroes are in the longer they spend in the Dungeon!

Some of the special treasures are called “artifacts.” Each is described in detail on its corresponding
Artifact Card. These items include weapons, armor and items that provide additional powers. Finding
an artifact may also be the objective of a particular Quest. Certain artifacts may only be used by a
specific Hero, for example, the Wizard's Cloak and the Wizard's Staff may only be used by the Wizard.
If another Hero finds one of these items, they should give it to the Wizard.

These Monsters pop out of holes and hidden places and wander into rooms. The type of Monster is
listed in the Quest Notes. Zargon places the Monster either:

• Next to the treasure-searcher and immediately Attacks, or

• At the door of the room which the hero was searching, and the monster immediately can
move and attack

The Wandering Monster remains on the board and can be moved like other Monsters.

29
If the surrounding squares are occupied and it is not possible to place the monster next to the
searcher, the monster must be placed at the doorway of the room. During Zargon’s next turn, the
Monster may move and Attack normally.

Some Quests have multiple Wandering Monsters (eg “3 Goblins”). If there are fewer than 3 adjacent
squares available, place the remaining Monsters as close to the Hero as possible or at the doorway
of the room.

Some cards are Hazards. If a Hero draws a Hazard, they should read the card and follow the
instructions.

These scrolls are used just like Spell Cards. However, a spell scroll can be used by any Hero. After use,
they are Discarded.

When a Spell Scroll is found, the Hero should take the appropriate Spell Scroll card. If a Hero finds
an unnamed spell scroll, the Hero should draw a Spell Scroll at random.

A Hero may drink a potion at any time. The way a potion works and how long its effects last are listed
on the potion Treasure Card, in The Alchemist's Shop, and sometimes in the Quest Book. You may
drink more than one potion at a time. Healing potions are very valuable. If your Body Points are
reduced to zero, you may drink a healing potion before you die and save yourself by restoring one
or more BP.

Treasure chests are considered to be locked. Opening a treasure chest counts as a loot action and
requires a tool kit. Treasure in chests is not found by a Search action, which typically scans the entire
room and finds treasure tucked into corners, in piles of clothing, behind books etc. Opening a chest
requires more focus. To loot a treasure chest, a Hero must be standing in an adjacent square and be
armed with a toolkit. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 4+ the chest is disarmed successfully and opened without
a problem. On a roll of 1-3 the attempt to disarm any traps is unsucessful; it is forced open and any
traps go off! If the hero survives the trap, they can access the contents of the chest. If the chest was
not trapped, the hero can consider themselves lucky!

30
As a Hero, to disarm an unspring trap, you must first know its location AND have a tool kit or the
Trapsmith skill. A tool kit may be purchased between Quests at the Armoury.

A Hero must announce they are disarming a trap before they begin their movement. They must move
into the trap square and roll . On a roll of a ─, the Hero springs the trap accidentally, suffering
1BP of damage. If they roll either a ━ or │ the Trap is disarmed. A disarmed trap is considered “gone”
and is not put on the gameboard.

Due to the Dwarf’s innate skills and ability to work with rocks, tunnels and mechanical devices, t he
Dwarf doesn’t need a toolkit to disarm a Trap. They have the trapsmith skill. To disarm a Trap, the
Dwarf rolls . On the roll of a ─ the Trap is sprung, and the Dwarf suffers its effects. On any other
result, the Trap is disarmed.

A Hero may exchange any number of items with an adjacent hero. Neither of them may be adjacent
to Monsters.

A Hero may requip themselves by swapping items from their pack with items they are equipped with

Example
Rogar the Barbarian is carrying a shortbow and a shield. They decide that it is wiser to be equipped
with their trusty broadsword, so they requip themselves by slinging their shortbow on their back and
requipping themselves with the broadsword. In practice, this means swapping the broadsword and
shortbow equipment cards with each other, from the pack to the left of the hero card, and vice versa

31
Any Spellcaster may cast a spell. If a spell requires a target, it must be in the spellcaster’s line of sight.

Each spell a spellcaster has can be cast for free as normal, but then it is not discarded. Instead, it is
placed in a seperate "re-cast" pile.

A spellcaster may attempt to re-cast a spell from the "re-cast" pile by rolling a number of equal
to the recast cost, represented by the number in the top right of the spell card (usually 1, 2, or 3).

recast cost – number of to roll

The spellcaster suffers 1 Mind Point of damage

for each ─ rolled

If a │ is rolled, the spell fails and the Spellcaster

loses their action

If two or more │ are rolled, the spell fails, the

spellcaster looses their action, and may not
attempt to re-cast that spell for the remainder
of the Quest. It is discarded

32
A Hero can stop another Hero from bleeding by using their action in an adjacent square as long as
they are not in combat; the bandage action. It's assumed Heroes carry bandages etc. See “Zero Body
Points” in the Hero section.

A figure who is able to pray may do so by rolling 2D6 and consulting the relevant Prayer Card

33
The Monster Turn

After all four Heroes have completed their move and their actions, it is Zargon’s turn. They may move all
Monsters currently on the board. Like Heroes, Monsters may Move and perform an Action, or may perform
an Action THEN Move. A Monster cannot Move, perform an Action, then continue moving (unless it has
the nimble skill, eg Goblins). Monsters do not spring hidden Traps. Their movement allowance is specified
on their Monster card or in the Monster chart. Monsters do not need to move the entire distance specified
as their Movement allowance.

Zargon may play event cards whenever they choose to.

The Monster actions:

Attack a Hero in an adjacent square in hand-to-hand combat, or shoot with a ranged weapon
Cast a spell

A Monster may attack an adjacent Hero. A Monster’s attacking ability reflects the Monster’s natural
combat prowess and any weapon they may be carrying.

To carry out an Attack, the Monster rolls the coloured combat dice shown in its profile. Each skull is
considered a hit, and the Hero rolls the appropriate number of Combat Dice in defence. If the number of
skulls rolled in Attack by the Monster exceeds the number of shields rolled by the Hero in defence, that
is the number of BP the Hero loses.

EXAMPLE
Runtzong, an Orc with an Attack of , charges straight into Bullkald the Grim, a Barbarian
wearing chainmail who defends with . Grawshank strikes well and rolls ─ ─ │ . Bullkald,
however, wasn’t anticipating the attack; he only rolled one ━ on his three dice. Therefore Bullkald loses
1BP.

Each Attack is worked out separately, so a Hero attacked by three Skeletons would roll three separate
Defence rolls.

A Large Monster, one whose base takes up more than one square, can Attack anyone in an adjacent
square, including behind and diagonally.

34
Monsters get allocated Spells in the same way as Heroes before the Quest. Each Monster’s allocation is
specified in the Quest Notes. A Monster can only cast a Spell on a Hero in their line of sight. A Monster can
only cast one Spell per turn.

A Spell is only active if the Monster that Cast the Spell is alive. If a Monster casts a Spell and is then killed
on the Heroes’ turn; the Spell stops working immediately.

If a Hero is affected by the Werewolf’s Curse Spell or is injured by an Attack by a Werewolf, the Hero
becomes a Werewolf themselves and is cursed to switch between Hero and Wolf form. At the start of every
turn, the Hero must roll 2D6. On the roll of 2-9 the Hero remains in Hero form and can act normally. On
the roll of 10-12 the Hero transforms into a Werewolf and is controlled by Zargon for 1 turn. When a Hero
transforms into a Werewolf, replace the figure with either a Wolf tile or figure. All of the Hero’s possessions
are left in the square they were in when they transformed. Place a Weapon Pack tile in the square to
represent the Hero’s former possessions. The Weapon Pack tile remains in the square until the Hero
returns to pick up their possessions. The Wolf is a true Monster, with none of the Hero’s abilities and all
the abilities of Monsters, eg they cannot open doors, are unaffected by Traps etc. At the end of Zargon’s
turn, the Wolf transforms back into the Hero and returns to the player’s control. The Hero figure replaces
the Wolf tile/figure. The Hero must roll for their transformation each turn until they are cured by drinking
a Wolfsbane Potion, or a Potion of Restoration from the Alchemist’s Shop.

If all the Monsters of a particular type are already on the board and Zargon needs to place another one, a
similar alternative should be used. If a Quest Map calls for a type of of Mercenary that is not available
because they’ve all been hired by the Heroes, Zargon should substitute a different type of Mercenary first,
but none are left, Zargon may use another Monster altogether.

35
MERCENARIES

Once a Hero has become a Champion and their deeds are exalted in taverns and around camp fires all
over the land, they will want a band of followers to aid them in even greater feats of heroism. Such people
are found in towns and cities all around. Many are willing to follow a great Champion and fight as long as
they are paid. There are four types of Mercenaries. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and
each have their own price.

Prior to any new Quest, a Hero may recruit up to 4 Mercenaries. The price that the Hero has to pay for
recruiting the Mercenary, and the subsequent retaining fee is listed on the corresponding Mercenary
Card.

The Mercenary will fight for the Hero until the Mercenary has been defeated. At the end of each quest, the
Hero has to pay an additional retaining fee in order to keep the Mercenary in service, otherwise the
Mercenary will leave and will need to be recruited again for the full starting price. For each recruited
Mercenary the player takes the appropriate Mercenary card.

A player whose Hero has been killed may choose to fight on with their Mercenaries. If they decide not to,
they must remove the Mercenaries from the board immediately. This represents the Mercenaries leaving
the Dungeon; they have been paid yet there is nobody there to ensure they carry out their job!

One a player has hired Mercenaries, they must use them in the next Quest. Each player begins the Quest
by placing all of their figures on the stairway tile or any adjacent squares. They then take their turn before
the next player sets up.

Mercenaries function in the same way as Heroes. However if they are first into a room, they must search
the room. They always find Treasure first, and any Treasure that is discovered is kept by the Mercenary.
They may not use any Artifacts or Treasure Card items; they are to be sold later for gold! Only scouts may
search for and disarm traps.

36
Appendix 1 - Doors

Name Symbol Description

A typical door found in a Dungeon, made of heavy oak

or other wood. The door starts closed and can be
Regular Door
opened by the Heroes. Opening the door doesn’t count
as an action

Iron This iron door is placed on the edge of the board in

Entrance many of the Quests. Heroes line up outside the door to
Door begin the Quests

A regular door that can be used to exit the Dungeon. It is

Wooden Exit placed on the board only when it becomes visible and is
Door usually opened in the same way as a regular door,
unless specified otherwise in the Quest notes

Figures can see through the bars of the portcullis but

can’t move through it. If the Heroes do not have a brass
Portcullis key to open it, a Hero must roll fewer than their Body
Points on 2D6 to force the portcullis open. This attempt
counts as an action

This iron door indicates both the entrance and exit of

Double Duty the Quest. It is treated initially like an Iron Entrance
Doors Door. Once opened, it remains open and will be open
for the exit of the Quest

Stone Doorways are large slabs of rock which must be

Stone pushed out of the way using brute force before the Hero
Doorway can pass. To open one of these doors, a Hero must pass
a strength test

37
Appendix 2 - Traps

Once a pit trap is sprung and a pit trap tile is placed on the board, the trap cannot be disarmed or
removed. You may attempt to jump over it.

A pit trap is a covered hole in the floor. If the trap is found during a search, Zargon will say that
the floor looks weak and will point to the square where the trap is located. Zargon will NOT put
a pit trap tile on the gameboard at this time. It has not yet been sprung. Once a pit trap is
discovered, a Hero may be able to jump the trap, or on their next turn, disarm the trap.

If a Hero doesn’t Search for traps and moves into the Pit Trap square, they automatically spring the Trap.
Zargon will inform the player in an appropriate way, for example, “your foot fells the ground move away
beneath, and your Hero stumbles forwards as the floor caves way. They land in a crumpled heap at the
bottom of the pit”.

Zargon will then put a Pit Trap tile on the square under the Hero figure, and inform the Player how many
Body Points the Hero has lost. This is usually 1BP. This ends that Hero’s turn.

Long Pit Traps are like normal Pit Traps except they take two spaces on the board instead
of one.

If a Hero springs a Long Pit Trap, Zargon puts the Long Pit Trap tile on the board, and the Hero loses 2 BP.
This ends the hero’s turn.

For the hero to climb out of the Long Pit they must roll 1D6 before they Move. On the roll of a 5+ they can
move out of the Long Pit successfully. Moving out of the Long Pit uses up 3 squares of the Move. They do
not suffer any BP of damage failing to climb out of a Long Pit.

The Pit of Darkness Trap works the same way as a normal Pit Trap with the following exceptions.
The pit of darkness is terrifyingly huge. A hero falling into a Pit of Darkness plunges a long way
down onto a hard floor, their scream receding into the blackness below. Once they fall, a hero
will suffer damage depending on how much armour they are wearing. Zargon will place a Pit of Darkness
Tile under the square the Hero is standing in. Those wearing plate armour roll . Those wearing
lighter metal armour, such as chainmail, roll . Those with just leather armour, or unarmoured roll
. For each ─ rolled, they lose 1BP. Climbing out of a pit of darkness is difficult. The hero needs to pass
a strength OR a mind test – they either clasp both sides of the pit and climb out using their strength, or
use their mind to think of a solution, either foraging to create some twine, using some clothing for a rope,
or finding loose grips on the rock. Once that test is passed, it takes 6 squares of movement to climb out
38
of the pit. The Hero rolls 2D6 to see if they have enough movement. If either of the two (strength/mind
test, or the 2D6 move roll) is unsuccessful, it is assumed the attempt to climb out went wrong. The Hero
rolls . On the roll of a ─ they lose 1BP as they fall.

Once in a pit, A Hero may search for treasure or secret doors as if it were a separate room unto itself. They
may also attack and defend, but must roll one fewer Combat Dice when doing so. This applies to Monsters
as well. A character will always roll at least their Base Attack and Defence.

A Hero may move out of a Pit in their next turn normally, however climbing out of the Pit requires 3
squares of movement.

Heroes beware! Falling Block traps are very dangerous. Stepping on once may trigger the ceiling
to collapse. If such a trap is found during a search, Zargon will say that the ceiling looks
dangerous and will point to the square where the trap is located. Zargon will NOT put a falling block trap
tile on the gameboard at this time. It has not yet been sprung. Once an unsprung falling block trap is
discovered, a Hero may attempt to jump the trap or may later try to disarm it on their next turn. If a Hero
does not search for traps and moves onto a falling block trap square, they spring the trap. If you move
onto a falling block trap square, Zargon will stop you by saying, “You’ve just sprung a falling block trap!
The ceiling is caving in! Look out!”

Zargon will then put a falling block trap tile on the square, under your Hero figure.

Note: Once a falling block trap has been sprung and put on the board, it cannot be disarmed or jumped.

Zargon will then give you to roll. For each ─ rolled, lose 1BP. You must now make a decision.
You can either move ahead or move back to an empty space. Remember, the trap space is now a
permanent block in the game. Your decision is a critical one. You could become trapped forever, or you
could be cut off from the rest of the Heroes. Move to the space you have decided upon. This ends your
turn.

A spear trap is carefully hidden. If found during a search, Zargon will say that the square looks
suspicious and will point to the square where the trap is located. Once a spear trap is discovered,
a Hero may attempt to jump the trap or disarm it. As a Hero, when you Step onto a spear trap square,
you automatically spring the trap. This causes a spear to thrust out of the wall, floor or ceiling.

When moving onto a spear trap square, you must roll . If you roll a ─, you suffer 1BP of damage. This
ends your turn. If you roll either a │ or a ━, you have dodged out of the way of the spear. You may then
continue with your move. The spear trap is now gone forever and the square can be moved onto safely.

39
 This deadly spear of ice clings to the ceiling of ice caverns. Unless searched for and disarmed, the
stalactite falls on the first Hero to move into the trap square.

If you move onto a stalactite trap square, Zargon will stop you by saying “You have just been struck by a
falling stalactite”. Zargon will tell you that you suffered 1BP of damage. This ends your turn. The stalactite
trap is now gone forever and the square can be moved into safely.

This trap is tripped when a character lands on a space marked with a solid blade symbol. A
huge blade swings down from the ceiling striking any Hero in any one of the spaces marked
with a solid or outlined blade symbol.

Springing a swinging blade trap: Roll . For each ─ rolled, you suffer 1BP of damage. You may NOT
roll to defend. The swinging blade trap is now gone forever and the square can be moved onto safely.

A swinging blade trap can only be detected by a search in the room or corridor containing the solid blade
symbol.

In the diagram, the Elf moves five spaces and lands on the outline blade space. They do not set off the
trap. However the Barbarian moves four spaces and lands on the solid blade space. This sets off the trap.
The blade swings down attacking both the Elf and Barbarian with .

In the diagram above, the Elf moves five spaces and lands on the outline blade space. They do not set off
the trap. However the Barbarian moves four spaces and lands on the solid blade space. This sets off the
trap. The blade swings down attacking both the Elf and Barbarian with

40
 These monsters sneak up or pop out of an unsuspecting place waiting to ambush the heroes.
Wandering Monster traps are so well concealed that they are not detected when a hero searches
for traps.

When Heroes move onto a Wandering Monster Trap square, Zargon must tell the Heroes to stop on the
square marked with the Wandering Monster Trap symbol. The monster(s) listed for that Quest appear on
any square(s) adjacent to the Hero, or as close as possible. The monsters immediately attack, which the
Heroes can defend against. If the Hero has not already taken an action that turn, they may do so after
they defend. Each Wandering Monster Trap is activated only once.

There are no Wandering Monster Trap tiles; Wandering Monster Traps are always marked light green in
the Quest Map.

Magical Traps cannot be found by searching. They can only be disarmed with certain spells. Magical Traps
may only be activated once. As soon as a Magical Trap has been activated, Heroes move safely through
that room or corridor.

When a Hero enters a room containing a Fireburst Trap, place a Fireburst token in the centre of
the room. This will remain in place until the beginning of Zargon’s next turn, when it will explode.
It causes damage which the heroes defend against normally. It may only be disarmed with a
Tempest or other water-based spell.

This trap must be set in a corridor. Once a hero passes the spot marked with the “X”, a
hurricane rushes down the corridor marked with the hurricane symbol. All figures in the
corridor will move 8 squares away directly from the hurricane until they hit a wall, another figure, set off
a trap, or encounter another impassable feature.

Any Hero who steps on a square marked with “A” will instantly be teleported to the square
marked “B”. Stepping on “B” has no effect. Once a Hero is teleported, they are
disorientated and their turn ends immediately.

A chest/furniture trap can be a variety of things including poisonous gas, poisonous needles, an explosive
latch, a shooting dart, etc. Opening a treasure chest counts as a Loot Action and requires a tool kit. Roll
1D6, on a roll of 4+ the chest is successfully disarmed, otherwise it is forced open and any traps go off.
41
Appendix 3 – Hazards

When travelling TO adventures, the Heroes prepare the route in advance and have all the help they need.
The travel at a safe time, perhaps with local guides, to ensure safe passage.

Travelling back FROM adventures is much more risky: They don’t have their guides, their presence
attracts attention (perhaps their belongings at the entrance have given them away), they have been
questing for often a long time, and sometimes emerge in an entirely different location.

Therefore when travelling FROM adventures, the Heroes must check for Travelling Hazards:

1. Check the number of weeks travel to the nearest settlements by rolling and consulting
the table below:

Village 1+│
Town 2+━
City 3+─

Example
Rolling ─ ─ │ indicates the nearst village is 2 weeks’ travel away, the nearest town is also 2 weeks away,
whilst the nearest city is 5 weeks away

2. Roll once on the Hazards table for each week travelling the Heroes undertake to go to their
chosen settlement. To do so, roll a D100, by rolling one D10 to represent the tens and another to
represent the units.

42
The Warriors come across a burning wagon in a forest clearing. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior
with the highest score recognises the dying travellers as their blood kin. One of them is able to tell the
Warriors who perpetrated the massacre. Roll 1D6:
1 Goblins 4 Fimir
2 Skaven 5 Chaos Warriors
3 Orcs 6 Zombies
From now on, the Warrior whose kin have been slaughtered Hates this type of Monster. Note this down
on their Adventure Record sheet. They gain the Charge skill when charging against this type of Monster.
They therefore roll all black Combat Dice in the first round of Combat if charging.

During the night a fire rages through the camp. The intensity of the blaze is such that it may turn the
Warriors' gold to lumps of molten metal. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior and consult the following table:
1 Your Warrior's gold is melted beyond recognition. It is now only worth half its original value.
2-5 Luckily, your Warrior's gold wasn't affected and they are still as wealthy, or as poor, as they were
before the fire!
6 Your Warrior's gold is intact! In addition, as they scrabble in the blackened earth to retrieve their
fortune, they find a long-buried gemstone worth 1D6 x 50 gold!

The Warriors see a small chapel. If you wish, your Warrior may spend some time in prayer to their gods.
After your Warrior spends 20 gold in offerings you may roll 1D6 on the following table:
1-3 The gods aren't listening, and ignore your Warrior
4-6 Your Warrior has +1 BP during the next adventure

The ground opens up in front of the Warriors, creating an impassable chasm many miles long. The
Warriors have three choices:
a) Abandon any hope they have of reaching a settlement, in which case they must go straight into the
next adventure
b) Go back to the caves they just left and start their journey again from scratch taking a different
route. Their return journey is one week shorter, due to knowing the route.
c) Use any length of rope that they have to cross the chasm. If they cross the chasm with a rope, they
must discard the rope once they have safely reached the other side. In addition roll 1D6 for each item
carried by the warrior. On the roll of a 1 it falls down into the chasm and is lost forever!

43
The Warriors meet a stranger who asks where they are heading. After being told, he says that he too is
going that way, knows a shortcut, and will pay each Warrior 20 gold to let him join them. After all, he
explains, there is safety in numbers. The Warriors must let him join them. Roll 1D6 on the following table:
1-3 The stranger does not know the way and the party is soon lost. Add 1D6 weeks to the length of
the journey. He is apologetic, however, and when the Warriors finally arrive, he pays each of them 20
gold as promised
4-5 The stranger's short cut turns out to be no quicker. Upon reaching civilisation, he pays the
Warriors 20 gold each
6 The stranger does know the way well, knocking a week off the Warriors' journey time. Upon arrival
at their destination, he gratefully pays each Warrior the 20 gold as promised

The Warriors are stopped by a pedlar, a strange-looking individual wearing brightly coloured rags and
carrying a number of wicker baskets in which he keeps his wares. He capers from side to side, playing a
piping tune on a reedy flute. The Warriors may buy things from him:
• Healing Potion. 50 gold. Heals 1D6 Wounds. One use
• Lucky Charm. 50 gold. A Warrior wearing this may re-roll any single dice roll once per adventure
• Bronze Wristbands. 30 gold. A Warrior wearing these may ignore 1 Wound during any single
combat. One use, then they are broken
• Trinkets. 10 gold. If on the Warriors' travels anyone demands gold from them for any reason
they can try and give them these trinkets instead. Roll 1D6. On a score of 1, 2 or 3 they refuse
the trinkets and insist on being given the gold. On a score of 4, 5 or 6 they accept the trinkets
instead of the gold

Each Warrior may buy a maximum of one of each item, except trinkets, of which they may buy up to six.
Once the Warriors have made their purchases, the pedlar vanishes into the woods. Now roll 1D6 for eac h
object the Warriors have bought. If the result is a 1, that item is shoddily made and is useless. The Warrior
has been conned and must discard the item immediately

The Warriors are hit by a tornado. The ferocity of the storm rips at the crumbling cliff path, attempting to
pluck the Warriors from safety. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. Look up the lowest number rolled on the
following table to determine what happened to the Warrior with that score. If two or more Warriors have
the same score, re-roll those dice until the victim of the tornado is determined.
1 - The tornado throws your Warrior into a gaping ravine, breaking their legs. They must be carried to
safety by the other Warriors, adding one week to the journey time. As soon as the party arrives at its
destination, the Warrior must pay 100 gold to be healed. If they cannot afford it, the healer takes all
of their gold plus one random item as payment. In any event, the best the healer can do is make your
Warrior able to walk; they cannot restore them to full mobility. Your Warrior receives -2 movement
next adventure
2 Hanging from the ledge by their fingertips, the only way your Warrior manages to stay on is by
letting their gold drop into the chasm. Your Warrior loses 5D6 x 10 gold. If they don’t have that much
they lose all their gold
3-6 Your Warrior holds on, but their weapon is plucked from their grasp. Discard one random weapon

44
The Warriors arrive at a large town in the grip of the plague. All roads, bar the one the Warriors entered
by, are blocked. The Warriors' journey is over, and they must now either go straight onto the next
adventure or stop and spend some time in the town. If you enter, roll 1D6 on the following table:
1 Your Warrior contracts the plague. Their maximum BP is reduced by 1 for the next adventure. They
also receive the Damaged Organs injury. Take the appropriate Injury Card
2 Your Warrior contracts the plague. Their maximum BP is reduced by 1 for the next adventure, and
they begin the adventure with two poison counters
3-6 Your Warrior remains unaffected by the plague - for now!

As the Warriors approach the crest of a hill, they hear the noise of armed men approaching. Taking cover,
they watch as a band of swarthy mercenaries troops by, dragging a wealthy-looking man behind them.
The Warriors can either fight the mercenaries and free the prisoner, or let them pass unhindered. If the
Warriors attack the mercenaries, roll 1D6 on the following table.
1-2 The mercenaries drive the Warriors off, taking some of their gold. Each Warrior loses 1D6 x 10 gold
3-4 The Warriors kill the mercenaries after a long struggle, but not quickly enough to prevent them
slaughtering the prisoner. The Warriors each find 20 gold if they search the bodies of the fallen
5-6 The Warriors best the mercenaries in a fierce fight, and free the prisoner. He cannot travel very
fast, and if the Warriors take him with them he adds one week to their journey time. Upon arriving at
their destination, he gives each Warrior 40 gold for rescuing him

The Warriors arrive in a small hamlet as a local festival is in full swing, and they are invited to stay a s
guests. They are wined and fed to excess, and have a most enjoyable evening. Waking up the next
morning, they feel it is only fair to offer payment for the hospitality that the villagers have offered. Roll
1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior with the lowest score has to pay the villagers 1D6 x 20 gold. If two or
more Warriors score equally low, they must roll off until only one player is left to foot the bill!

45
On the Warriors' travels, they pass through lands cursed by famine and drought. Proving themselves
Warriors worth of acclaim, each Warrior gives the poverty stricken peasants a proportion of their gold.
Roll 1D6 for each Warrior on the following table:
1-2 Your Warrior gives any one piece of Equipment to the peasants
3 Your Warrior gives 100 gold to the poor
4-5 Your Warrior gives 1D6 x 10 gold to the poor
6 Touched by your kindness and concern, the village elder brings a carefully wrapped sword out of
his house, presenting it to your Warrior in exchange for 1D6 x 50 gold. The magical blade is a Sword
of Sharpness, a Broadsword with the Deathblow ability (each time it wounds a Monster, it does an
additional 1BP damage). Take a Broadsword from the Equipment deck. However, the sword can
never be sold, as any attempt to get rid of it results in it mysteriously finding its way back to the
village. If more than one player rolls a 6, who gets the sword and roll again for the other Warriors

The Warriors' journey is over, but the Settlement that they were heading for turns out to be wrongly
marked on the map, and is little more than a farmouse. The Warriors may stay there anyway to heal and
rest, restoring themselves to full BP and MP, but there is no possibility of buying any Equipment or visiting
a tavern. If they wish to visit another Settlement, they need to roll for travelling distances again.

The Warriors come across a deep pool of freezing water on top of a mountain. Its surface is like a mirror,
with shifting images drifting across its still, icy surface. As the Warriors gaze into the chill waters, they see
twisted reflections of themselves, fighting for their lives against hideous Monsters. Roll 1D6 on the
following table for each Warrior:
1-3 Although he can see these reflections, the Warrior cannot make any sense of them
4-6 The Warrior realises that they are being granted a vision of the future! At any time during the next
dungeon, they may ignore any one blow that would otherwise hit them. The Warrior recognises the
blow before it hits home as the vision from the pool, and dodges away just in time. Note this on the
Character sheet, crossing it off when used

As the Warriors are setting up camp on the top of a hill, a storm gathers above them. The sky blackens
and grows dim, and thunder rolls. The next instant a lightning bolt streaks from the sky, hitting one of the
Warriors on the head. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior with the lowest score is hit by lightning,
melting their armour. They lose two random pieces of metal armour (a shield and a helmet, for instance).
If the Warrior doesn't have two items of metal armour, the armour they do wear is melted, and the
lightning bolt sets their clothes alight too - they arrives in the next Settlement in tattered, charred rags
and must therefore spend 50 gold to buy new clothes!

46
After a few days' travel, the Warriors admit to themselves that they are absolutely lost. They are about to
give up the journey completely when they notice smoke curling into the sky a few miles away. A couple
of hours later, the Warriors discover the source of the smoke - a small village not marked on their map.
Here they are told that the nearest town is another six weeks' travel. The Warriors can either carry on to
the town, or end their journey now and see what they can buy here. If they do, roll for a village at random

The weather has been bad recently, and the land for miles around has flooded, creating an impassable
lake. The Warriors can either abandon any hope they have of reaching their destination, in which case
they must go straight into the next adventure, or pay 20 gold each to a ferryman to take them across the
obstruction. If they choose to go straight to their next adventure, they must roll 1D3 to determine how
many weeks away it is. In any event, they heal one more MP and BP each as they make a camp in the
wilderness.

The Warriors come across a village hit by a storm. The villagers are trying to rebuild their homes, and
would greatly appreciate the Warriors' help. The heroic Warriors cannot refuse their pleas, and stay and
help them for one week. They are able to rest and replenish before the next adventure, but the ruined
village has no opportunity for buying Equipment or visiting a tavern. The Warriors cannot afford to lose
any more time and must head to their next adventure immediately

The road splits into two before the Warriors. One road leads to their chosen destination, but from their
map it is impossible to tell which. Do they take the left fork or the right fork? Once the players have agreed
which road the Warriors take, roll 1D6 on the following table:
1-3 The Warriors chose the correct path and may continue on their journey
4-6 The Warriors took the wrong route and end up at a small village, finishing their journey
prematurely. Roll for a village as the Warrior’s Settlement, after which they must start their next
adventure

47
As the Warriors travel through a particularly dark glade in a gloomy forest, they are ambushed by Forest
Goblins riding Giant Spiders! Leaping from the shadows, they threaten to overwhelm the hardy Warriors
by sheer weight of numbers. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior on the following table:
1 Knocked out by a sneaky blow from behind, your Warrior awakes to find one of their weapons
(determine randomly) and 2D6 x 100 gold stolen
2 Knocked out by a sneaky blow from behind, your Warrior awakes to find 2D6 x 100 gold stolen
3 Knocked out by a sneaky blow from behind, your Warrior awakes to find one item of equipment
stolen (determine randomly)
4 Fighting a glorious battle, your Warrior kills many Forest Goblins and gains 1D6 x 10 gold
5 Fighting a glorious battle, your Warrior kills many Forest Goblins and gains 1D6 x 50 gold
6 Fighting a glorious battle, your Warrior kills many Forest Goblins and a Giant Spider. They gain 1D6
x 100 gold and a Heroic Brew potion, as well as 3 x Venom Antidote concocted from the spider venom

A blizzard howls across the land, swathing all in white. Unprepared, the Warriors are trapped in a bitterly
cold landscape where visibility is reduced to a few yards and movement is almost impossible through the
banked drifts of snow. The Warriors abandon all hope of reaching a town or city, and take refuge in the
nearest village, cutting their journey short. The only place with a good fire is the tavern. Spending so long
there, the Warriors must make at least two rolls on the Tavern table. They may buy equipment as normal,
but given the blizzard, prices are increased by 25%. After the blizzard abates, the Warriors must go
straight to their next adventure to avoid losing more time.

After many days' travel through thick undergrowth, barely able to see the sun, the Warriors emerge into
a gloomy clearing. In front of them is a cave entrance into a craggy rock face. After a moment's study,
they recognise it as the very exit by which they left the dungeon! The Warriors have managed to work
their way back to where they started and must now set off afresh!

As the Warriors trek through a dark ravine, there is a dull rumbling above them. A few seconds later a
shower of rocks and boulders comes crashing down, blocking their route completely. Although they can
still complete their journey without losing any time, they must employ local labourers to clear a path,
costing each Warrior 1D6 x 20 gold. Otherwise, they are delayed to the adventure, allowing Zargon more
time to prepare. During the next adventure, Zargon may have an extra D6 Orcs, which can be placed in
any room

48
Walking along the road, you see weary peasants point at you and smile. Your fame precedes you, and
word speads of your whereabouts. From now on, your settlement costs are doubled due to your notoriety
as a group of brave, rich, warriors!

The lead wagon of a convoy pulls up alongside the Warriors. The driver says that he is heading for the
same destination as they are, and if each Warrior pays him 5 gold they can hitch a lift, saving them one
week's travelling time

The Warriors see smoke curling above the trees, and within a few minutes reach the crest of a hill
overlooking a small settlement. As they get closer, a group of armed men on horseback approach. They
are the town militia and are very wary of strangers. They refuse to let the Warriors stay at the Settlement,
but for a payment of 10 gold each will allow them to pass through . If the Warriors refuse to pay, they must
go around the village and the surrounding fields, adding one week to their journey

As the Warriors reach the outskirts of a small Settlement, they are set upon by brigands demanding gold.
They outnumber the Warriors, but seem wary of their superior arms and armour. The Warriors have a
choice: they can either pay the brigands or fight them. If the Warriors decide to pay the brigands, each
Warrior must give up 1D6 x 20 gold. If the Warriors fight the brigands, roll 1D6 for each Warrior and add
them together. This is the total number of brigands that the Warriors are fighting. Then roll another 1D6
for each Warrior and add them together. Any Barbarians or Dwarfs roll a D10 instead. This is the total
number of brigands that the Warriors manage to kill. If there are any brigands left alive after this, then
they overpower the Warriors, steal 1D6 x 50 gold from each of them, and disappear into the shadows

49
A travelling minstrel joins the Warriors for the rest of their journey. When they reach the gates of the
settlement they are travelling to, he begins to play and sing, convinced that he will earn them all free
entry to the settlement. Roll 1D6 on the following table when the Warriors reach their destination:
1 The minstrel's playing is awful, and the Warriors are forbidden to enter the settlement. They must
go straight into the next adventure or roll for the next settlement – roll for travelling time again
2-5 No one is particularly impressed, but a few inhabitants give the minstrel some gold. The Warriors
meanwhile, are free to enter the settlement as usual
6 The minstrel's song is so rousing that the inhabitants of the Settlement shower gold upon you. Each
Warrior gains 1D6 x 10 gold

Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior with the lowest score trips over a log and breaks their ankle. How
embarrassing! Dragging them along slows the party down, adding two weeks to the journey. When the
Warriors reach a Settlement, it costs the injured Warrior 30 gold to have their ankle patched up. They
receive -1 movement for the next adventure

The sun shines over fields of golden wheat, and all is well with the world. Having walked for many miles
and many days over bleak and inhospitable realms, the Warriors decide to take it easy and enjoy the
scenery, adding one week to their journey

A storm hits the Warriors' camp, blowing away their tents and equipment in a torrential rainstorm. Each
Warrior loses one random item

In a quiet forest path, the Warriors come across an old travelling pedlar selling potions. Shuffle the Potion
deck and draw the top six cards. Your party may purchase these for half the listed price

50
Deep in a gloomy ravine the Warriors come across the entrance to a dark cave. Inside it dwells a twisted,
ugly hag who claims to be a witch. She tries to convicne each Warrior to drink a potion. Each Warrior takes
a mind test; any who fail decide to pay 1D6 x 10 gold to get a single potion, and must drink it immediately.
Roll 1D6 on the following table:
1-2 Your Warrior falls unconscious, writhing in agony as fire burns insde. When they awake they feel
strangely weak. They receive -1BP to their maximum characteristic for the duration of the next
adventure
2-4 The potion warms your Warrior to the core. They gain +1 movement for the next adventure
5-6 A powerful heat surges through your Warrior, and they feel energy coursing through muscles and
veins. Receive +1BP to their starting characteristic during the next adventure

The Warriors come across an enormous swamp blocking their path. They can either take the road back
and an alternative route around it, adding one week’s travel, or attempt to wade through. If they do, roll
1D6:
1 As the Warriors wade through marsh waters, swamp tentacles make a grab for a Warrior’s leg! They
manage to fend them off, but lose some items in the process. Each Warrior loses one random piece of
Equipment
2 They make their way across, but any Leather Boots, Animal Hide, or Leather Armour are ruined and
must be discarded
3 As they cross the swamp, the level rises until only their heads are above water. Not wishing to go any
further, they turn back and go via an alternate route. Add 1 week travel time to the next settlement
4-5 The Warriors safely make it across. However at the next settlement, their living expenses are doubled
due to their unsavoury appearance
6 The Warrior cross the swamp with no ill effects

The party has stumbled into a orc battle camp. Fires can be seen in the valley below. The Warriors can
either turn back, adding one week travel to go around the camp, or attempt to sneak past. If they do, roll
1D6:
1 A scouting party of Orcs notices the Warriors, alerting the whole army. Select one Warrior to take a
Mind Test. If they pass, the Orcs briefly imprison the Warriors, then let them go after the call to battle
is heard. If they fail, they attack the Warriors. Although they are beaten off, roll 1D6 for each Warrior.
On a roll of a 1 they are injured. Draw an Injury Card at random; on a roll of a 2 they have one random
piece of Equipment stolen. On a roll of 3+ they escape unscathed
2-4 You manage to sneak past the camp
5-6 Select one Warrior to take a Mind Test. If they are successful, the Warriors learn enough about the
Orc army to provide useful information for the local garrison. If the next settlement you visit is a Town
or a City, you receive 100 gold by way of gratitude

51
The Warriors discover a small cave leading into the earth. If they investigate, roll 1D6:
1 As the Warriors descend, the tunnel collapses on to them. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. On a roll of a 1
they receive a random Injury. Draw an Injury Card
2 The room is a Minotaur’s lair. They succeed in defeating the Minotaur, but not without ill effects.
Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. On a roll of 1-2 they start the next adventure -1BP to their maximum
characteristic
4 The tunnel empties into an alcove too small for any Warriors to fit through. They can not get into
the cavern beyond
5 The tunnel ends in a large cavern, with small piles of treasure everywhere. Each Warrior gains
1D6x10 gold
6 On a pedestal at the end of the tunnel is a magic item, the Bow of Kurnuos. It is an ancient longbow,
however it has the Deathblow ability (if the weapon deals damage, in addition it causes +1BP
damage). Take a Longbow card from the Equipment deck to represent the Bow of Kurnous. Make a
note of this bow on the Character Sheet.

The Warriors come across an empty thatched cottage. It is a perfect place for healing wounds and resting.
They may recover fully here and immediately proceed to the next adventure, or continue to their
intended Settlement

The Warriors encounter a patch of strange herbs. The Elf recognises them as special healing herbs, and
manages to collect 1D6 flowers before an irate farmer chases everyone away. Each herb heals 3 Wounds.
Administering a herb counts as an action. If your party contains no Elves the herbs mean nothing to them,
and they leave them alone

An earthquake has left this area forsaken and desecrated, providing a perfect breeding ground for
monsters. The Warriors can either add 1 week of travel to avoid this place, or travel through. On travelling
through, roll 1D6. A 1 or 2 means the Warriors are set upon by hungry Giants! Each Warrior rolls 1D6. On
a roll of a 1, the Warrior is caught by the giants and is picked up! Roll 1D6 to see what happens to them:
1 They are eaten. Their adventuring days are over!
2 They escape, but not without injury. Draw an Injury Card at random
3 They are kept as pets. Hungry and tired, they manage to escape but lose D3 random items
4-5 They wriggle free as they are being picked up, but due to the fall their leg is injured. They receive
-2 movement during the next adventure
6 They manage to escape the giants, and what’s more, they relieve the giants of some objects left by
previous adenturers! Draw two Equipment cards at random

52
A runner greets the Warriors. He is puffed out, and warns the Warriors of an impending attack by Chaos
Beastmen. The Warriors must take this message to their next destination. If they are involved in a battle
(of any kind) before they reach the next city, the message is forgotten. Upon their arrival, roll 1D6. A roll
of 1 or 2 means the Beastmen have destroyed the settlement, and the Warriors must go straight into their
next adventure. It’s probably safer inside than out in the wilderness with vicious hordes of Beastmen! If
no battle ensues, the Warriors take the warning to their destination. On arrival, each Warrior is granted
50 Gold pieces for warning the settlement of the attack. The messenger then salutes and runs into the
forest, taking his message to other towns and villages

Standing before the Warriors are two huge pillars, each engraved with a huge serpent. A mystical aura
emanates from their base. The Serpent Pillars seem to be the remains of a lost civilisation. The Warriors can
pass through the Pillars or avoid them. If they choose to pass through the pillars roll 1D6:
1 The Warriors find themselves in an ancient ruined city, populated only by Monsters. They are surrounded
by a pack of Chaos Hounds. They manage to defeat them, but not without loss. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior.
On a roll of a 1 they are injured. Draw an Injury Card
2 The Warriors pass through a stronghold of Chaos. Alerting Zargon to the progress of their journey, Zargon
sends more Chaos Monsters into the next dungeon. During the next adventure, Zargon may add D6 Chaos
Warriors to the Monsters in the dungeon. They may be added to the Quest Map in any location
3-4 The heroes are overcome by the tragedy of seeing a fallen civilisation. The desolation causes them to
despair about the future. Each Warrior starts the next adventure with -1MP
5 The Warriors find a cache of gold! They receive 3D6x10 gold
6 – The Warriors find an old mausoleum with heavy doors. One Warrior can take a Strength Test to see if
they can shift the stone. If they pass, the stone is shifted. Lying inside is the resting place of an ancient
hero, along with their sword. The warriors can take a Greatsword from the Equipment deck! However it
carrries a curse; every time it rolls │ in Attack, it doesn’t strike the target but a random adjacent figure,
including heroes!

The path ahead is narrow and on the edge of a steep cliff. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. On a roll of a 1, they lose
one random piece of Equipment; on a roll of a 2 they spill some gold, losing 2D6x10 gold

53
The warriors come across the ruins of an old castle. If they choose to explore the ruins, roll 1D6:
1 The warriors encounter a group of Chaos Monsters using the castle as their refuge. After a scuffle, one
random Warrior twists their ankle on the loose rocks. They receive -1 movement next adventure
2 The ruined castle spooks the Warriors. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior, on a roll of a 1 they start the next
adventure with -1MP
3 One random Warrior is attacked by a harpy descending from the ruins. They start next adventure with -
1BP
4 The warriors discover an old stash of weapons! Draw three Equipment Cards at random. For each piece
of equipment they decide to take, the Warriors roll 1D6. On a 1-3 it is damaged and unusable
5-6 The warriors discover an ancient treasure horde! They find a random Spell Scroll, a random Potion,
and a gem they can trade in the next city worth 100 gold

The Warriors’ path takes them through some rocky crags, delaying their journey. Roll 1D6:
1-3 A tough slog through rough terrain: double your settlement expenses for the next destination as you
need more time to purchase essential items and recover prior to the next adventure
4-6 You are led out by a Barbarian. Each Warrior rolls 1D6, on a roll of a 6, they are taught a skill by the
Barbarian. Choose randomly by rolling 1D6:
1 - Double Strike
2 - Duckback
3 - Dodge and Trip
4 - Gladiator
5 – Bellow
6 – Roundhouse

In the darkness of the night, many yellow eyes watch from dark holes in the forest. Night Goblin Archers
launch a volley of arrows towards the Warriors. Each Warrior rolls 1D6. On a roll of a 1, the arrow was
poisoned, sapping their strength. They must swap one Combat Die with a next adventure

The Warriors arrive at a gushing stream of crystal blue water. If they choose to bathe in it, roll 1D6 for each
Warrior. They each heal that many BP and MP combined, split however they choose. On a roll of a 6, they
absorb magical energy from the stream, allowing that Warrior to ignore the effect of one successful blow
or spell during the next adventure

Swooping from the evening sky a cloud of Vampire Bats descends upon the Warriors! There are 16 bats.
Each Warrior rolls 1D6, the total represents how may they manage to kill. Dwarves roll 2D6 and pick the
highest due to their superior sight in the dark. If the total is less than 16, the difference represents the
number of poison counters the Warriors start the next adventure with, divided as evenly as possible
between the Warriors. Any leftover poison counters are assigned randomly

54
The night is bright and contains a full moon in the sky. Roll 1D6.:
1-3 - Nothing happens
4-6 - A random Warrior gains the Bezerk skill during the next adventure

Shimmering in the valley below is a pool of bright blue water. If the Warriors investigate, roll 1D6:
1 The pool is poisoned, causing the Warriors to gain one Poison Counter each
2 In a fit of rage, the wizard character throws themself into the water, and pulls himself sorely out
minus one randomly chosen item
3 Nothing
4 The pool is clear and fresh, providing a good resting place for the Warriors. They feel rejuvinated
and gain +1 movement next adventure
5 In a fit of rage, the wizard character throws themself into the water, and pulls himself sorely out,
smiling as he has learnt another spell. Gain the Spell Lore skill
6 A golden hand rises from the lake, and presents a random Warrior with a master-crafted weapon.
Take a Greatsword from the Equipment Deck

While travelling along the road, a masked man in black leaps out, attempting to assassinate one of the
Warriors. Select a Warrior randomly and take a Mind Test. If they pass, they anticipate the attack and
overpower the assassin. If they fail, roll 3D6. If a double is rolled, the Warrior is wounded and must take
an Injury Card. If a triple of any sort is rolled, the Warrior is killed outright. The rest of the Warriors finish
the assassin off before he escapes, and each surviving Warrior takes a share of 1D6x50 Gold pieces

A roving band of monks offers to heal the Warriors for a small fee of 50 gold. If the Warriors accept, they
are restored to full BP, but not MP. Roll 1D6, on a roll of 4+ they are filled with righteous fervour and decide
to go to the next adventure immediately! They must make one roll on the Hazard table to represent the
one week it will take them to get to their destination from this location

The Warriors come across a Phoenix Nest, containing rare eggs of the Fiery Bird. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior.
This is how many eggs they collect from the nest. Each egg is worth 20 gold and can be traded in at any
town or city

55
As the Warriors walk down the forest path, roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The lowest score steps in a rope
circle on the ground and activates a rope trap! The Warrior is dragged into the air, and is left hanging
upside down as tiny arrows fired by Night Goblins assail the party. Each Warrior rolls 2D6 for the number
of arrows fired at them, then roll another 2D6 for the number they dodge. Each arrow that strikes the
Warrior causes them to lose 1BP. The Warrior hanging upside down only rolls 1D6 for dodging. Elves add
3 to their roll. Any Warrior on 0 woulds must be healed immediately with a Healing Potion. If there isn’t
one available, they are stabilised by the Heroes and are taken to the nearest settlement. Carrying the
Warrior adds one week to the travel time. The downed warrior draws an Injury Card at random

The Warriors are precariously crossing an icy ledge, when one randomly selected Warrior slips! Each
other Warrior rolls 1D6, if one of them roll a 5+ they catch the warrior with no ill effects. If the Warrior is
not caught, they fall down and suffer an injury. Draw an Injury Card at random. Helping the injured
Warrior back to the settlement adds 1 week travel time

You come across another band of adventurers that have successfully completed a quest. They are happy
to trade their spoils with you. Draw three Equipment cards at random to represent the equipment the
adventurers are willing to trade. You may trade any piece of equipment you have for any of theirs of lower
value.

The Warriors stumble into a village under attack by a group of Orcs. The Warriors may either pass without
helping as screams fill their ears, or they can charge into the fray and attack the Orcs. If they decide to
attack they each roll a D6 on the following table. When everyone has rolled the attackers have been
defeated
1 The Warrior runs at the nearest Orc but slips as they approach, causing them to slide under the Orc,
who stabs them with a spear. The Warrior draws an Injury Card at random
2 The Warrior is suffering from the cold and the numbness within causes them to swing their weapon
less accurately, only felling two Orcs and receiving a couple of blows. The Warrior starts the next
adventure with -1BP
3-4 The Warrior fights to their usual form, felling Orcs left right and centre
5-6 The Warrior calls a battle cry as they cleave through flesh and bone alike. They even manage to
loot a few Orcs, finding 2D6 x 10 Gold

After the battle the villagers thank the Warriors for their assistance but can offer nothing in return

56
The Warriors come across a glowing stone in the moss by the side of the path. One of the Warriors is
drawn to it and picks it up, thinking it will have great importance in the future. At any time during the
next adventure the Warrior may use the stone to see the next 1D3 cards in the Event deck, after which the
stone loses its power and must be discarded

During a rest break in the afternoon a random Warrior spots a wild boar, which they may try and hunt.
Roll 1D6:
1-2 The Warrior sneaks close to the boar, and then, waiting for the right moment pounces. The boar
slips out of their grasp easily and the shocked adventurer lands face down in a puddle of slushy mud.
Pulling themselves up they see their fellow adventurers laughing uproariously at the entertainment
3-4 The Warrior finds the boar to be too quick and loses it quickly. Shrugging, they walk away
5-6 With a mighty pounce the boar is in their hands squealing and snorting. They quickly break its
neck, and begin preparations for cooking it up. They can make 6 provisions from the boar. Each
provision can heal 1BP, and eating it counts as an action that can only be done if there are no
Monsters present. Carrying all six provisions counts as one item, they are specially packed in a food
pouch.

As the Warriors turn around a bend in the road, a large cart hurtles past them with an old man and woman
chasing after it. They shout out for assistance as they chase their belongings down the hill. If the Warriors
decide to help roll 1D6 on the following table:
1 The Warriors all turn to run at once causing them to fall over themselves in a big heap. The cart
swerves and crashes into a tree, spilling and ruining all of the contents onto the ground. Feeling
ashamed the Warriors continue on their way. One random Warrior receives -1 movement next
adventure, as the large cart ran over their foot
2 The Warriors charge after the runaway cart and reach it just as it flies off a cliff. It sails though the
air briefly before it plummets to its destruction. The Warriors feel so bad about these nice folks losing
all of their belongings that they each give them 30 Gold
3-4 The Warriors manage to stop the cart in time. The two old people finally catch up and are very
pleased that they have not lost all of their possessions. They thank the Warriors. The group of
Warriors then walk off, feeling a sense of pride
5-6 The Warriors manage to stop the cart before it crashes. The owners turn out to be quite rich and
reward the Warriors with 1D6 x 50 Gold between them

57
The Warriors come to an old wooden hut in the woods. They find an old hermit sitting by himself. He
offers the Warriors a place to stay for the night. If they accept roll 1D6:
1-2 Just after the Warriors have gone to sleep the hermit puts a curse on them. During the first combat
in their next adventure, all Monsters count as having the Deathblow skill
3-6 The Warriors feel well rested and have gained back all of their BP and MP. They thank the hermit
and continue on their way

The Warriors come to a glade seemingly untouched by the harsh environment. Any Warrior entering the
glade will instantly have any poison, disease or injury fully healed

The adventurers find a dead body strewn on the road. At first they think it is just a poor man slain for his
belongings, but then they see it is a great hero. A solemn silence comes over them as they realise that no
matter how powerful a Warrior becomes, they still run the risk of being falling victim to Chaos. They bury
the body, which has already been ransacked by savaging thieves

The Warriors arrive at a bridge guarded by a large River Troll. They can avoid the bridge, adding one week
travel time, or attempt to defeat the troll. Select one Warrior. They take either a Strength Test or a Mind
Test. If they pass the Warriors cross the bridge successfully, if they fail, roll 1D6:
1 One randomly selected Warrior is injured in the struggle. Draw an Injury Card
2 The troll vomits horrid green slime over the Warrior, which they cannot wash off. The settlement
costs for the party are doubled in the next settlement as they find it hard to get lodgings due to the
horrendous stench. If the Warrior is an Elf, they must travel immediately to the nearest city and spend
100 gold buying new clothes
3 D3 Warriors receive a minor injury in the scuffle. They start the next adventure with -1MP
4 The troll was the smelliest, nastiest creature the Warrior ever had the displeasure of facing. One
randomly selected Warrior receives -1MP to their starting characteristic next adventure
5-6 Nothing

58
The Warriors see a shimmering, oval light hovering before them in the middle of the path. If they choose
to step into the magic portal, roll 1D6:
1 The Warriors have been teleported to a vision of Chaos. After what seems like days, they are ejected
back into reality. They each start the next adventure with -1MP, and must double their settlement
costs at the next setllement to allow for a longer recovery. Roll 1D6 for the wizard, on a 4+ they have
communicated with the dark powers may cast one random Chaos Spell next adventure
2 The Warriors have been teleported to an unknown location and must roll for travelling distances
again
3-4 The Warriors step harmlessly through to the other side of the portal, having gone nowhere
5-6 Luckily the portal takes them directly to their destination and they arrive immediately

Towards dusk the travellers come to an old cemetery tormented by the winds of time. The Warriors are
debating whether or not to pass through it, when skeletons from the graves burst through the earth in
front of them. The Warriors draw their weapons but the skeletons make no effort to attack, instead they
spasm into a strange demonic dance, giving off a strange glowing energy. Roll 1D6 to see how it affects
the Warriors:
1-2 Each Warrior starts the next dungeon with -1BP
3-4 Each Warrior starts the next dungeon with -1MP
4-5 The Warriors start dancing too, against their will
6 The Warriors magically connect with the skeletons and their movement, and receive +1 movement
during their next adventure

After this strange occurrence the skeletons bones fall to the ground and a cackling laughter is heard by
all

59
A snow-storm has hindered the Warriors for days, when suddenly they see a small settlement. Only one
of the buildings has a light on that can be seen through the storm. When they get closer it seems to be a
rowdy bar. There is loud singing and when they enter it doesn’t take long for them to realise that all of
the singing is about one man called ‘Gaston’ who is in the middle of them all.

The Warriors order a drink and sit down. It is not long before the burly Gaston spots the new arrivals and
trots over to them, “Well, a set of new faces” he says confidently, sitting down with them. “You boys look
like sturdy lads, know your way around a fighting pit ? Well there must be something the mighty Gaston
can teach you, for a small fee of course.”

If a Warrior wishes to take Gaston up on his offer, they must pay him 1D6 x 50 Gold and roll 1D6 on the
following table. The offer can only be taken by one Warrior.
1 Gaston takes the money and smiles saying “This is what I will teach you - don’t be so gullible!” He
chuckles to himself and orders another drink. Your Warrior thinks about taking his money back by
force but knowing how much the rest of the patrons idolise Gaston decides against it
2 Gaston grabs a bow that is beside the table and shows your Warrior a few tips about archery,
finishing with firing an arrow into the bullseye in a dart board across the room. The Warrior gains the
Eagle Eye skill
3 Gaston whips out two dice which he throws again and again always coming up with double 6s.
Gaston picks up one of the dice and unscrews it into two parts, showing that it is weighted on the
number one so the six will always come up when it is rolled. “The way to true luck is through trickery,
friend - don’t forget.” The Warrior receive a reroll counter they may use in the next adventure
4-5 Gaston pulls out his sword and starts parring, spinning and hacking at the air, dazzling the Warrior
and showing him a few things he didn’t know before. The Warrior learns the Parry skill
6 Gaston bends over and starts to whisper something in the Warriors ear about piercing armour. The
Warrior learns the Deathblow skill

The Warriors come across a beautiful orchard beside a large farmhouse. They may pick the fruits from
the trees, gathering enough for 1 extra provision each. Each provision heals 1BP, and takes an action to
eat. The food is so small that it doesn’t affect movement.

The warriors come across an upturned and ransacked caravan blocking their path. If they choose to
investigate, roll 1D6:
1-3 Trap! The Warriors are attacked by bandits hiding behind the trees. They manage to fight them
off, but not before they have some gold stolen. Each Warrior loses D6x10 gold
4-5 They inspect the caravan, but it has already been ransacked
6 The Warriors find D6x20 gold tucked into a hidden compartment

60
The path ends abruptly in a small Ogre village. The Warriors try to duck behind some cover but it is too
late. Roll 1D6:
1-3 They are seen and the inhabitants of the village attack! The Warriors must fight the ogres. Each
Warrior rolls 1D6. If the total rolled is less than 16, one random Warrior suffers a minor injury and
receives -1 movement during the next adventure. If the total is less than 12, one random Warrior is
more severely injured. They must draw an Injury Card
4-6 The Ogres are very friendly, and provide the Warriors with a place to stay at no charge. They regain
all their BP and MP. In addition, the Ogre healer attempts to heal any injuries or poisons. Roll 1D6 for
each Hero who is poisoned, diseased or injured. On a roll of 4+, the Ogre Healer has successfully cured
them

In the centre of a small forest clearing the Warriors find a large herdstone with glyphys covering the
surface. If the Warriors choose to inspect it, roll 1D6:
1 You are attacked by a group of D6 Beastmen defending their place of worship! They are assigned
evenly to each warrior on a 1 v 1 basis, with any left over Beastmen assigned randomly. Their stats
are Attack: , Defence: , BP2. The Beastmen strike first. If a Warrior is reduced to 0BP,
the Heroes can discard a Healing Potion to revive them immediately. Otherwise, the Warriors patch
up their wounds and carry them to their next settlement. This adds 2 weeks tavelling time, and
doubles the settlement costs due ot the longer recovery period
2 The herdstone lights up with Chaos Magic as the Warriors approach, and the ground trembles. The
herdstone has alerted Zargon to your whereabouts, and the next dungeon becomes especially
deadly. Zargon may add a total of three Chaos Warriors to the Monsters found in rooms during the
next adventure
3 A bolt of Chaos Energy shoots towards the Warriors. Each Warrior rolls 1D6, the lowest scoring
Warrior is hit and takes damage with no defence possible. If a Warrior is reduced to 0BP, the
Heroes must discard a Healing Potion to revive them immediately. Otherwise, the Warriors patch up
their wounds and carry them to their next settlement. This adds 2 weeks tavelling time, and doubles
the settlement costs due to the longer recovery period
4 The area is is deserted and long forgotten
5 One random Warrior finds a small cache of D6x10gold
6 The Wizard in the party is touched by Chaos. When recasting spells, they treat their MP as if it is 1
point higher. Make a note on the Character Sheet

61
The trees in this section of the jungle are very tall and have a strong blue tint to them. The Warriors have
encountered a grove of the rare Silverleaf tree, used in many different ways to create magical items. Each
Warrior may roll 1D6 to see what part of the tree they can take for themselves:
1 The Warrior is about to take a handful of blue leaves from the closest tree when a huge, bloated
monkey leaps out and scratches their face. They lose 1D3 BP and start the next adventure with 2
Poison Counters
2 The hunt for the perfect tree part goes unfinished. The Warrior finds nothing useful amongst the
foliage this day
3 The Warrior finds D6 magical blue leaves. When eaten, they restore D3 BP. Eating them uses the
Warrior’s action for the turn
4 A piece of bark attracts the Warriors attention. Picking it up, it glows with a soft blue light. When
attached to an edged weapon, the weapon deals an extra 1BP of damage every time causes damage.
This effect lasts for the next adventure
5 The Warrior finds a healthy looking pool of sap beneath one of the trees. If the weapon is dipped
into the sap, magical energy infuses the weapon and gives it a further + attack bonus permanently
6 It seems one of the previous people to use the grove have left an unfinished magical sword lying
behind a tree, beneath a pile of bushes. The Warrior may take the item to a Wizard’s Guild in the next
City. If they do, roll 1D6 on the following table:
1 The item is too exotic for the Wizards to understand. They charge the Warrior 100 gold pieces
for time wasting and send them on their way
2-6 The Wizards tell the Warrior they can finish the magic item for a small fee of 1000 gold pieces.
If they can pay this sum immediately, the Warriors receive a item the Wizards call Galather’s
Longsword. This is a Longsword that gives the Warrior + attacks. It heats up when
monsters are near, allowing the Warrior to strike wandering monsters first if they pass a mind
test. Take a Longsword from the Equipment deck and note its ability on your character sheet

While relieving themselves in some bushes, there is a sudden shaking of the branches and one random
Warrior finds they are being squeezed to death by a huge snake! The Warrior keeps rolling a dice until
they roll a 6. Each time they don’t, they lose 1BP. If their BP falls to 0, the other Warriors hear the screams.
They each take a mind test; as long as one Warrior passes, they alert the party to the danger and the
Warrior is saved. The downed Warrior needs to be carried to the next Settlement, adding 2 weeks to the
journey, and the settlement costs are doubled to reflect their need for a longer recovery
However if they all fail the mind test, the snake kills the Warrior

62
The Warriors arrive at a large chasm stretching left and right for many miles. There will be no going
around this obstacle. Fortunately, not too far off is a rickety bridge, barely affixed to the edges of the
chasm, precariously swaying on tattered ropes. It's over this that the Warriors must travel. If any Warrior
can get across by some other means, such as flying or teleportation, they may do so. The other Warriors
must cross by the bridge. Each Warrior rolls a number of D6 equal to 6 minus their current MP, or double
their MP for elves. For each dice that comes up as a 1, a plank of the bridge has broken and the Warrior
must lose 1D3 BP, or a random item, as they struggle to keep their grip! If the Warrior does not have to
roll any dice then they are too agile, and the bridge will take their weight. Any Warrior that is reduced to
0 Wounds topples into the chasm and is never seen again, except by the vultures who pick their bones

The local area is rife with a virulent plague, crippling humans and livestock alike. Each Warrior rolls 1D6,
on a roll of a 1 they have caught the plague. The Warrior loses 1BP per week whilst travelling. When the
Warrior is reduced to 0 Wounds (from the plague or another source of damage), they immediately go into
an agonising spasm, which will reduce their starting BP characteristic by 1 permanently. They may be
healed as usual by visiting an Apothecary

The sounds of singing birds reach the Warriors. Looking up into the sky, they see a small flock of magical
birds with waves of energy radiating from them. Any magic-users in the party can take a Mind Test. If they
pass, they have absorbed some energy from the magic birds. They receive +1MP permanently

Whilst attempting to lift a large rock in the hope of finding treasure beneath it, the two Warriors with the
highest starting BP move the rock aside to reveal an enormous scorpion. In a flash it stings both warriors.
Each Warrior receives D6 poison counters

63
As the Warriors are sitting on the bank of a lake, a great wailing rises in the wind. Suddenly, a bright light
bursts from the water, and a shimmering figure appears accompanied by a soft, humming aura. It is the
Lady of the Lake. She begins to speak. “I have been watching you, Warriors, and I have noted your good
deeds. I will repay you for this, and bid you to continue to rid the land of evil.” With that she vanishes.
Roll 1D6:
1 The Warriors feel energised. They heal all BP and MP instantly, and receive +1 movement for the
next adventure
2 The Warriors feel rejuvinated. They heal all BP and MP instantly and receive +1 starting BP next
adventure
3 The Lady brings good fortune and feels Sigmar’s blessing touch their spirit. Each Warrior receives a
reroll counter they can use once per adventure
4 One random weapon is sucked into the brightness radtiating from the middle of the lake. Hovering
in mid-air, the Rune of Strength is magically carved on their weapon. One of the weapon’s attack dice
is swapped with
5 One random Warrior feels the Lady’s spirit and absorbs magical energy. Their starting BP is
increased by one permanently
6 Rising from the water is a hand holding an elaborately made Great Axe. The masterful weapon glints
in the brightness, reflecting the magical light. A chorus of angleic voices sing its name as it descends
through the air towards your party. The chorus chants “Master Axe of Maeralya” This is like a normal
Great Axe, except it gives the Warrior weilding it + . In addition, it is master-crafted and
made of the finest mithril so does not count as Heavy. Whilst carrying the Axe, the weilder feeds of its
power, and receives +1MP. Take a Great Axe card from the Equipment deck to represent the Master
Axe of Maeralya. Truly a special item

understandably the barman is less than happy
with your antics and refuses to serve you any

adventure with one random Fire Spell and one
random Water Spell in the re-cast pile as their
magic is drained from this exertion. Ignore this
result if they have no Fire spells. If they have

Klein, approaches your party and asks to sit
down with them. Do you agree?
If you do, he brandishes a puppet and puts on a

When it ends, he extends his hand and asks for a
contribution. Do you pay him?
If your party give him 30 gold or more, he teaches
your Warrior with the highest MP the basics of
ventriloquism by way of thanks. Once per
adventure, your Warrior may attempt to throw
their voice and confuse the monsters. If this skill
is used, roll 1D6. On a 4+ the warrior successfully

manner suspicious. Rather than selling you
bizarre fungus or tickets to the pitfight, he offers
you a well-built banjo. It is nicely crafted, and
can't be too hard to play. The dwarf gives you his
card (Delvic Trôttær) with his motto in ancient
dwarfen runes written across the top. It
translates as 'No money back, no guarantee'.
Still, the banjo is cheap at 50 gold. If you buy it,
you can play it as an action once per adventure if
you are not adjacent to any Monsters. If you do,

on a nocturnal hunt. Meeting them just before
sunset, he is informed that tonight's prey is the

the hunting tools: a net, a small pole with a bell
on it, and a bag full of garlic - and wait in the
middle of the woods while the rest of the hunters
spread out into the forest and drive the Quarg
towards him.

As the sun rises the next morning, and the owls

in the Settlement, and risk catching it, or head for
the next adventure immediately. If they go on

local dodgy deal. You witness a bribe paid to
the police by a local crime figure. Roll 1D6:

you not to speak, on pain of having your

1-2 - Your evasive manner makes him
Mace 395gc suspicious. He has a word with the local militia
Flail 370gc who follow you for several days. They enter

6 A scarred and drunken Kislevite Raider
demonstrates to your Warrior the art of playing
dead. After some practice, your Warrior learns
how to feign death even without the aid of
alcohol! Using this skill, your Warrior may play
dead once per adventure. Place his miniature flat
on the table to indicate that he is in this state.
While he is playing dead, and there are other
Warriors still standing, no Monsters will attack
your Warrior. However, the only action he may
take while in this pseudo-dead state is to
surreptitiously swig potions. Of course, once all
the other Warriors are dead, the Monsters will
start rifling (or more often eating) the bodies and
thereby discover that your Warrior is still alive,
whereupon they will all set upon him, hitting
automatically. At the start of any turn, you can
declare that your Warrior is no longer playing
dead and stand his miniature back up

Goblins back into the forests. Unfortunately,
when the last of the greenskins is dead, the
Warriors find that they are now one week from
the settlement. They can go back, rolling for

more they fight so impressively they are
offered a chance to join the local garrision. If
they accept, each Warrior who is not a
spellcaster receives a suit of chainmail for free
and is given 100 gold. After weeks of patrolling
the city, the Warriors decide to continue with

elven wine imported at great expense. The
various businessmen are angry, as they had
promised their associates a treat, and they are

than submit or buy them off, you confront
them with the foolishness of their thinking.

your Warrior a magical potion guaranteed to heal
the most grievous wounds, restore life and
bestow a healthy head of hair. In payment he will
accept either 100 gold or one weapon or piece of
armour. You may drink the potion at any time
during the next quest. When you do, roll 1D6:
1-2 The foul liquid tastes like whatever it was
that Squint Eyed Rogar last drank, and has no
noticeable effect other than to induce a
mysterious nausea
3-5 As the mild saline solution trickles down
your Warrior's throat, you realise you’ve been
had. A blind, raging fury descends and you go
berserk, hacking and slashing at enemies for
the rest of this combat. Your Warrior is now
subject to all the normal rules for being
Berserk: They must move towards and attack
the nearest monster, and they roll all in

hears a disturbance just around the corner. A
moment later a huge runaway bull charges down

panic. Your Warrior can let it pass by hiding down
a side alley, or try to stop the enraged animal. If
your Warrior hides down the alley and lets the

Leather Boots 55gc 1-3 Your Warrior skulks in the shadows,

equipment, the trader points out his gold is
counterfeit and refuses to take it. Looking
through his stash, your Warrior discovers that Armoury, Tavern, Alchemist, Apothecary,

Warrior does not have that much gold left, and

even try to make a speech about the groom's

know she was the mayor's wife? Some very large
gentlemen ask you to leave the town

2 A debt collector catches up with your Warrior,
demanding payment for money borrowed years
ago. The sum your Warrior borrowed was not
substantial, but the interest rates are
astronomical. The outstanding balance is 1D6 x
20 gold, and if your Warrior cannot pay in full
immediately the debt collector takes all his gold

rolling 1D6. If it is a 1-2 he throws it aside,
crying 'No good!'. Try again or fight; if you fight
you cannot use the sword you handed over.
When fighting, roll 1D6+BP; on a 10+ you
defeat the Dwarf, otherwise the Dwarf pilfers
your belongings. Not finding the sword, he
helps himself to your most expensive item

mumbles an apology. He drops enough gold
to cover your tab before wandering off out the
door. Receive 20 gold

sword, leaving you with a gem worth 25 gold
6 Another dwarf rushes in and apologises for
his brother's behaviour. He introduces himself
as Mognar-Keilir, and tells you that the family
sword was stolen in an orc raid. He tells you
that the eldest son, Toiran, has gone slightly
mad after a nasty knock on the head by a troll,
and is obsessed with finding the sword. The
two leave you, but Mognar-Keilir leaves a
single Runestone to thank you for your
patience, and for keeping the family shame
quiet. This runestone can dispell Chaos Spells:
you may dispell one Chaos Spell, after which
its power is drained

1 All is quiet this evening. Outside is dark with thin
wisps of mist surrounding the settlement; an
ideal night for ghost stories. This seems like a
good idea at first but as the tales get more
unnerving, you feel a deep chill settle in your
bones. During the next adventure,when attacking
Monsters, if you roll any │ you freeze, paralysed
with fear, and score no hits. This effect lasts until
you are down to 3BP, when the loss of BP gives
you extra will to fight

comfortable bed after so long out in the wild,
your Warrior overspends on such luxuries by 50

3 A man calling himself “The Shoveler” has moved
into town, assuming the position of chief
caretaker of the local cemetery. But judging by
what he’s digging up, he seems to shovel far too
well – should you approach him?
If you do, you discover that he indeed is doing
something he shouldn’t. You report him to the
authorities and they give you 20 gold by way of
thanks. However, the local Necromancer is
disappointed, and sends his best Undead
miniions into your next dungeon. During the next
quest that contains Undead Monsters, skeletons
and Zombies fight with blue Combat Dice

4 Griswold the Mad, famed Wolverine keeper,
offers your Warrior a wager that he cannot last a
round in the fighting pit with his pack of enraged
beasts. If your Warrior accepts his wager, he may
bet up to 100 gold on his victory. Griswold
matches his bet, as will 1D3 other onlookers, with
the winner keeping the spoils. Roll 1D6 to
determine the result:
1 After ten minutes or so, your Warrior is just
dispatching the last of the Wolverines when an
enraged shout brings him out of his frenzy. It is
the true owner of the beasts and he is
incensed that your Warrior has killed them. He
takes the pool of money as recompense for his
loss
2-3 After a few minutes of being ripped, torn
and bitten, your Warrior makes a break for it,
leaping from the pit to escape. Of course, this
also means that he loses the bet...
4-6 Your Warrior makes mincemeat of the
Wolverines, dispatching the beasts with a
flurry of well placed blows. The alehouse
erupts into a frenzy of cheering. Your Warrior
wins the wager and may claim all the money
5 A scruffy looking dwarf walks into the alehouse
and offers to sharpen your weapons for a few
beers. Unfortunately his thirst almost surpasses
his skill and you have to pay 50 gold per weapon
sharpened. Roll 1D6 per weapon:
1-3 Alas, his skills are limits and he has no
effect on your weapon
4-5 Your blade is sharpened but it does not
last long. Gain + Attacks next adventure

one is very impressive; for every BP damage
caused, you deal an extra point of damage.
The effect lasts for the next adventure
6 A muscle-bound mercenary from Marienburg
gives your Warrior a practical demonstration of
the two-handed, doublestrike attack. The timing
has to be perfect, but the damage inflicted by two
simultaneous weapon strikes can be devastating.
When he wakes up and collects his teeth, your
Warrior returns the compliment, and has soon
mastered the art. Your Warrior now gets +1

professional duellist whom he insulted at the bar.
The duel is scheduled to take place at dawn
tomorrow. Your Warrior can either leave town
immediately or take up the challenge. If they
leave the town immediatley, your warrior is not
prepared for the next adventure, and starts with -

Warrior's heart is speared and he falls to the

each inflicting many light wounds on the

fight is declared a draw. The duellist
congratulates your Warrior on his
swordsmanship, and offers him a fine supper
and the best wine at the most expensive hotel
in the Settlement
