InTo The CRyPT Your party creeps quietly to the door. As the rogue carefully checks for traps, the sounds of breathing and moaning echo from within. In your party are Mirin Faithbringer, Lady Eryne, Dunbar, Kadin with Mkono-Djarat Attached (from an earlier crypt raid), and Slayer the Unkind with Teleport Attached (because he used it earlier). In your hand are Bless and Fireball — neither of which you have used yet. This crypt holds five cards, and the player to the left is the Crypt Master. The turn begins, and you announce that your Party is going in. The CM picks up the cards and looks at them, showing no one else. Illus. Marko Djurdjevic © 2008 AEG Lady Eryne Rogue Attack Skill Magic Holiness AnoTheR TRAP! This one also requires Skill, so Lady Eryne steps up again. She rolls three Blue Dice again, this time gaining three successes. The CM reveals the trap is Unholy Light, requiring four successes. Unholy Light Failure! Because she failed, the member of the party with the fewest Attack dice dies. Kadin only has one printed Attack die, but gets three more from his Attached sword — so he is safe. Eryne has three, Dunbar has five (three of his own plus two red because of the two wizards in the party), Mirin has two, and Slayer only Trap Characters: 1 Disarm: Skill 4 Failure: Kill the Character in the Raiding Party with the fewest Attack dice. has one. Slayer dies heinously and goes to the discard pile, taking the Attached spell with him. A new Character is added to the Inn from the Character Pool. The trap is discarded (not banked), since it has done its damage. Again, your party may choose to run away before anything else is revealed — but there are only three cards left, and you feel brave. 3 3 3 3 Lady Eryne React: When you move to the <strong>Tomb</strong>, draw an Inn card. HP 3 Rogue A TRAP! The CM reveals that there is a trap, which only one character can face. It requires a Skill test/check. You choose Lady Eryne, your character with the best Skill — three Blue Dice. She rolls two successes and the CM reveals the trap — Wards of Peril, with a disarm TN of 2. Wards of Peril Success! The trap is banked with no ill effects, and you have two more experience points. You may now flee if you want to, but your party chooses to press on fearlessly. XP 4 Illus. Mike Raabe © 2008 AEG Illus. Jonathan Hunt © 2008 AEG Slaye r the Unkind Wizard Trap Characters: 1 Disarm: Skill 2 Failure: Draw three <strong>Tomb</strong> Cards. Immediately add all Monsters drawn to this Crypt. Discard the others. Attack Skill Magic Holiness HP 2 1 XP 2 Illus.

Attack Skill Magic Holiness HP 3 TWo MonsTeRs The CM reveals Brine Spawn and Crusher. Due to card text, the CM draws an item card, Kama, and Attaches it to Crusher. The CM goes first and chooses for the Brine Spawn to attack. Your party lets Dunbar take the attack. Unfortunately, Brine Spawn rolls well — five hits! Dunbar suffers five wounds, which is more than enough to kill him. Dunbar is discarded and a new Character is added to the Inn from the Character Pool. Brine Spawn 2 1 1 2 1 1 Monster XP 2 2 1 Illus. Jonathan Hunt © 2008 AEG Attack Skill Magic Holiness 1 Kama Weapon Re-roll one Attack die. 1 Item Illus. Cris Dornaus © 2008 AEG Attack Skill Magic Holiness HP 3 Crusher 1 4 When revealed, draw and attach one Item Card to Crusher. Monster XP 4 Now your Party acts. Kadin has one blue and two red Attack dice (thanks to Mkono-Djarat), so he attacks Crusher, hoping to take it out before it can do any damage. The roll shows… two hits. Not enough! Crusher takes two wounds, and now rolls its attack. Lady Eryne steps up to take the hit, hoping to survive for her attack. On Crusher’s six dice are three successes. Crusher uses the Kama to re-roll one of the misses, but it’s still a miss. This would be enough to kill Eryne, but Mirin uses his react to save her. He rolls his six Holiness dice, and gets four successes. One wound goes away, and Eryne lives on. Illus. Drew Baker © 2008 AEG Mirin Faithbringe r Cle ric Attack Skill Magic Holiness HP 3 3 2 2 1 Mirin Faithbringer React: When one of your Characters suffers wounds, make a holiness roll (Tn 3). If successful, that Character suffers one less wound. Cleric It is the party’s turn to act again. Eryne attacks Crusher, and it is a complete bust. No successes. Crusher is not hurt at all. It would be the monsters’ turn again, but they have all acted this Combat Round. That leaves Mirin. His react did not count as his action for the Combat Round, so he acts now. He could attack, or the Party could flee, but instead he casts Bless, giving the Party one additional Red Die for the rest of its rolls this combat. The Prayer Card Attaches to Mirin, and he cannot cast it again this Turn. Illus. Kevin Wasden © 2008 AEG Time for the next round of combat. Brine Spawn attacks first again, and Eryne steps forward to take the blow. This time, Brine Spawn rolls three successes. With two wounds already on Eryne, nothing can save her. She is discarded and a new Character is added to the Inn from the Character Pool. Kadin means business now. Fireball Fireball! Kadin rolls one green die, four Blue Dice, and one red die (thanks to Bless)… three times. Spell He rolls eight successes! One Battle: Make three Magic rolls. All successes must be applied as wounds to Monsters or Characters in the current combat. is applied to Crusher, killing No Monster or Character can be given more wounds than it takes to kill it. it. The Kama is discarded, and Illus. Bryan Hayboer © 2008 AEG Crusher goes to the party’s XP bank. Three successes go to Brine Spawn. Another kill! And another Monster Card for the XP bank. But there are still four Wounds left to apply and only the Characters remain. One more success is applied to Kadin, so he survives. The last three are placed on Mirin. While that might kill him, he makes a Holiness roll for the react printed on him and succeeds, suffering only two wounds, not enough to kill him. With the monsters dead, the last card is revealed — Gloves of Gloves of Mercy Mercy, a Treasure. You now have a choice. Does your party Attach the treasure to one Treasure of your Characters, so you can Glove use it? Or do you bank it for XP, Your Party has +2 Move. Turn: Draw two Inn Cards. keeping it safe?
