The 3/3 monster card is worth 6 points. ‘A double monster card can be discarded to take the "Evade a monster" action. The Assassin can use his special ability to kill one monster (if its strength is 3 or less), but the second must be killed by normal means, Likewise, the Cleric can use his special ability to reduce the strength of one of the monsters by one, and the card value is then reduced by one.

Characters Each character gives one or two special abilities, which are described below. Amazon When using the "Kill a monster" action, you may treat two monsters as if they were a single monster with the combined strength of the two monsters added together. This may be the two monsters on a double monster card or it may be two individual monster cards. When using the "Take a treasure" action, you may place two available treasure cards in the score pile, provided that they both have a coin symbol and that their total value does not exceed five points. In the example of the Amazon's first ability on the right, two monsters of strength 5 and 2 are combined to give a single monster of strength 7 and killed using two sword cards with a combined value of 8. One or both of the monsters may be enchanted, but you must use an enchanted weapon for each enchanted monster. In the example on the right, the Amazon's second ablity is used to place two treasure cards with a total value of 5 points in the score pile. Fighter Add +1 to the value of each sword card. Archer You may use the "Kill a monster" action to remove a monster cube in an adjacent, connected room. When performing the "Kill a monster" action, you may use a monster card from any position in the card pool, even one below another card. This will leave a hole in the card pool which is not filled. In the example on the right, the "4" sword card is used to defeat the "3" monster card. The Archer's second ability means that it is not necessary to discard the treasure card first. When using the “Kill a monster" action, it is not necessary to discard a sword card in order to place a monster with strength up to 3 in the score pile. It is not necessary to discard the monster. Cleric When performing the "Kill a monster" action, you may use the shield to treat one monster as if its strength/value were 1 lower. So, it can be killed with a sword value that is one less than usual, but it scores one point less. Rotate it 90 degrees when you place it in the score pile so that you remember to deduct one point from your total. For a double monster card, you may use this ability to reduce the value of one of the two monsters. An extra action, “Divine aid", is available to the cleric when in a room containing a monster cube and a treasure cube. Take 5 available cards from the pool, of which at least one must be a monster card and at least one must be a treasure card (and none may be trap cards).

Score Invento If you use this ability again, you must take and discard an extra ee card. For example, the second time you perform it, take 6 cards from the pool and discard 4.

Dwarf For each two treasure cards collected that have a coin ee *@l icon, gain 1 extra point. The Dwarf is able to find secret passages through a single thickness of wall.

The remainder of the cards are placed on the bottom of the draw pile. If there are fewer than 4 cards in the draw pile, take as many as are available. If the standard action selected is "Kill a monster" then cards from the card pool or other cards from those drawn may be used as part of the action. In the example on the right, the player would like to place a new room on the map, but is faced with four dead-end cards in the card pool. She discards one of the dead-end cards in order to take the "Prophesy" action. She draws 4 cards, using the card on the right to perform the “Place a room card on the map" action. The other 3 cards are placed back on the bottom of the draw pile. Thief When performing the "Move your character token" action, you may choose to move either 1 or 2 rooms.
