Info

heAl An Adventuring Party with at least one Cleric may take a Turn to Heal injured Characters. The Player rolls a number of Tomb Dice equal to the combined Holiness of all Clerics in the Adventuring Party, which in turn Heals (removes) a number of Wounds on the Characters in the Adventuring Party up to the number of successes rolled. These Wounds are healed in whatever order the player wishes. Wounds are explained in depth under Monsters and Combat Resolution. Move If the Adventuring Party is at the Inn, they may immediately enter the Tomb and move their maximum Movement (see below). If they are already in the Tomb, they may move their maximum Movement, stopping on any Crypt Door if they wish to Raid the Crypt on the following Turn. An entire Adventuring Party moves together. The maximum Movement of an Adventuring Party is ten squares, plus any bonus movement due to Characters, Item Cards, or Treasure. Movement is horizontal and vertical, never diagonal. Multiple Parties may occupy the same space. PICkPoCkeT If an Adventuring Party has a Rogue in it, the Player may use his turn to Pickpocket any Character the Adventuring Party could reach in one Turn of Movement. The acting Player selects one Rogue from his Adventuring Party, who selects any Item or Treasure Card on a Character from an Adventuring Party in range. The acting Player rolls the Skill Dice for the Rogue. The target Party’s Player rolls the Skill Dice of any one Character in his Party (Target Player’s choice). If the acting Player rolls more successes than his opponent, the Card is stolen and Attached to the Rogue, and discarded if it cannot be Attached. If the Rogue fails, the Character making the opposing Skill roll “catches” the Rogue. The Character catching a Pickpocketing Rogue is allowed one Attack on the Rogue before he gets away, following the standard rules for attacking. The Rogue suffers Wounds from this Attack, like any other, before returning to his Party. If the Rogue is killed, any Attached Cards are given to the attacking Player. For example, Player One decides to have Dread, a Rogue in his Adventuring Party take a Pickpocket Action to acquire an Item Card from Player Two’s Adventuring Party. Player One rolls Skill Dice equal to Dread’s Skill Trait (two Green, two Blue, and two Red), and rolls three successes. Player Two selects Captain Dukat with one Green, three Blue and one Red Skill Dice. Player Two rolls only two successes. Dread rolls more successes than Captain Dukat, allowing him to successfully Pickpocket an Item Card from a Character in Player Two’s Adventuring Party. Rogues cannot steal from their own Adventuring Party. ReCRUIT If the Adventuring Party is at the Inn, a Player may Recruit one Character from the Inn Board. The Character is placed in front of the Player and added to his Adventuring Party. If the Character recruited is a Cleric, the Player draws a Prayer Card. If the Character is a Wizard, the Player draws a Spell Card. If the Character is both a Cleric and a Wizard, he draws both a Prayer Card and a Spell Card. PlAy A CARD Some Prayer, Spell, and Tactics Cards require a Turn Action to use. In this instance, the Card may be played in either the Inn or the Tomb. In such an instance, the entire Turn is spent playing the Card. Other cards can only be used as a Battle Action inside a Crypt. In this case, one Character plays the Card for his Battle Action for the Combat Turn. “React” cards do not require a Full Turn to play and can be played in addition to any Standard Turn Action. Unless stated otherwise all Inn cards are revealed and placed in front of the Character using or casting them. They are considered Attached to that Character for the rest of the game and are discarded if the Character is killed. Cards that are not discarded can be used again and again throughout the game. Each card may only be used once per Turn.
ReTURn To The Inn (Flee) During Combat, the Adventuring Party may Flee from a Crypt to the Inn. This can only be done as a Character Battle Action. Alternatively, an Adventuring Party may use its Standard Action for the Turn to return to the Inn. Once the Adventuring Party has reached the Inn, the Player may choose to Bank any Treasure Cards Attached to Characters. The Player’s turn ends. A. Title B. Disarm requirements C.

C D XP 4 Illus. Jeremy Jarvis © 2008 AEG RAID If an Adventuring Party is standing on a Crypt Door at the start of a Turn, they may Raid the Crypt. If the Crypt is empty, the acting Player’s Turn ends. Otherwise, the appropriate Player (determined by the symbol on the Crypt Door — L for Left, R for Right) becomes the Crypt Master (CM) and draws the face down cards from the Crypt, beginning the Encounter. It is the role of the CM to navigate the Raid and make the encounter as difficult as possible for the Acting Player. The Raid Begins Raids are resolved in the following order: • Traps • Monsters • Treasures All Trap cards must be defeated before the Adventuring Party encounters any Monsters (if any), and all Monsters must be defeated before the Treasure Cards (if any) can be Attached or Banked. If the Adventuring Party flees, dies, or otherwise fails to advance the Raid, unrevealed cards are returned face down into the Crypt and only the CM knows their true value. TRAPs The CM decides the order of the Traps, revealing each in turn. He does not need to reveal how many traps there are, only that there are traps. The CM reads the first and second lines of the trap, telling the Raiding Player how many Characters may attempt to disarm the trap and what Attribute is used. The CM does not reveal the Target Number for disarming the trap, nor the effect of failing. Each Trap Card is essentially its own set of internal rules, requiring the Adventuring Party to be vigilant for the deadliest traps in the game. The Target Number to disarm a Trap remains a secret for the purpose of the element of risk for the Raiding Player. The Raiding Adventuring Party selects which Characters will Disarm the trap. Characters assigned to Disarm a trap must roll a combined number of successes, equal to or greater than the trap’s Target Number or Numbers, rolling dice equal to the value of the appropriate Attribute. If the Trap is disarmed, the Raiding Player banks the XP from the Trap (see Banking XP below). If the Adventuring Party fails to Disarm the Trap, the CM reveals the Trap and announces the “Failure” consequences of the Trap on the Raiding Adventuring Party. The Trap is then placed into the Crypt Card Discard Pile. This process repeats until no Traps remain in the Crypt. After any Trap has been resolved, the Raiding Player may choose to leave the Crypt (whether the Trap was disarmed or not) without seeing the other cards in the Crypt. If so, move the Adventuring Party Marker back to the Crypt Door. All remaining Crypt Cards are returned face down into the Crypt. For instance, a Trap Card might indicate Characters: 1 Disarm: Skill 3 Failure: Each Character in the Raiding Party suffers one Wound. Only one Character may Disarm this trap. The Player rolls a number of Tomb Dice equal to the Character’s total Skill Attribute (including Items, Treasures, and other effects), and successfully Disarms the Trap if three or more successes are rolled. If he fails, each member of his party suffers one Wound each.
