HeroQuest House Rules by AxianSpice

Dungeon Events
If the heroes have already opened at least one door, and there are no monsters on the board, Zargon rolls a red die when it is their turn. If the result is 5 or 6,
they roll on the following table:
1 - Terror: A random hero must roll a number of red dice equal to their Mind Points. If they don’t obtain at least one 6, they lose 1 Mind Point.
2 - Vampire Bat: Attacks a random hero with 3 Combat Dice (the hero defends as usual), then flies away.
3 - Wandering Monster: Appears in a room at Zargon’s discretion, and plays immediately.
4 - Surprise Attack: Zargon opens a closed door and immediately plays all the monsters inside the room. Reroll if there are no closed rooms.
5 - Rat Swarm: Every hero must roll a white shield with his defense dice, or lose 1 Body Point.
6 - Special Event: Roll again on the following table:
1 - Goblin Thief: Every hero can attack him as he scampers around with a bag full of treasure. The goblin thief does not roll to defend. Each skull result
causes the goblin thief to drop 1d6 gold coins. After that, the goblin flees the dungeon.
2 - Dungeon Madness: For this turn only, Zargon controls and immediately uses a random hero (as if they were a monster).
3 - Benevolent Ghost: Appears and blesses the heroes, who recover 1 lost Body Point and 1 Lost Mind Point.
4 - Ambush! A number of wandering monsters equal to the number of heroes appear, each in a different room, at Zargon’s discretion, and play immediately.
5 - The Slayer: A Dread Warrior appears at the dungeon entrance, and plays immediately. He also has 1 random Dread Spell, and has 1d6x10 gold pieces
which can be looted if he is killed.
6 - Double Event: Roll both red dice on the table above, and apply both results, in the order you prefer. Ignore this result if you get it again while rolling two
dice.
