Info

MonsTeRs After all the Trap Cards have been resolved (or if there are no Trap Cards), Monster Cards are encountered and the Raiding Player decides whether his Adventuring Party will continue in the Crypt. If the Adventuring Party remains, Combat occurs. Combat only occurs when an Adventuring Party encounters a Monster run by a CM, unless otherwise stated. This includes all Encounters with Monsters in Crypts as well as events triggered by Inn Cards. Combat does not occur when two Adventuring Parties occupy the same space. Adventuring Parties cannot attack other Adventuring Parties, unless a card effect allows it. Each Combat has one or more Combat Rounds, with the following steps: • Monsters Revealed. The CM reveals all of the Monsters at the same time and resolves any revealed effects immediately, as stated on the cards (first Monsters, then Characters in the Raiding Adventuring Party). • Battle Actions. Beginning with the CM, the CM and the Raiding Player take turns performing Battle Actions until all living Monsters and Adventuring Party members have acted. Each Monster and each Adventuring Party member may act once per combat Round. This step repeats until all of the Characters or all of the Monsters are dead (see Death below). Battle Actions for Monsters • Attack. The CM selects a Monster for the Combat Action, and the Raiding Player selects a Target Character. The CM rolls a number of <strong>Tomb</strong> Dice equal to the Monster’s Attack Attribute, inflicting one Wound for each success on the Target Character. If an Attack inflicts one or more Wounds, the target is “wounded”. • Battle Action. Some Monsters have special Battle Actions or Inn Cards that can be used in Combat. These may be used as the Monster’s Action for a Combat Round. When a Monster is using an ability on an Inn Card, it treats any printed reference to the word “Monster” on the card as if it said “Character,” and vice versa. This action does not count as an Attack, but does count as the Monster’s action for the Round.

Battle Actions for Characters • Attack. The Raiding Player selects a Character for the Combat Action and a Target Monster. He rolls a number of <strong>Tomb</strong> Dice equal to the Character’s Attack Attribute, inflicting one Wound for each success shown. These Wounds are then applied to the Target Monster. • Battle Action. Some Characters have special Battle Actions or Inn Cards that can be used in Combat. These may be used as the Character’s Action for a Combat Round. This action does not count as an Attack, but does count as the Character’s action for the Round. • Flee. The Raiding Player may choose to immediately return the Adventuring Party to the Inn. All remaining Monster and Treasure Cards are returned face down into the Crypt. Any Inn Cards drawn for the Monsters or other special effects are discarded, and any Wounds inflicted on the Monsters are removed. This does not count as a Move Action for the purpose of other Character and card effects. A new Combat Round begins once all of the Characters and Monsters have acted. When a new Combat Round begins all Characters and Monsters “reset” allowing them to attack again in the new Round. If a Monster is somehow resurrected, it returns to the game fully healed and is treated the same as any other Character or Monster entering the game for the first time. WoUnDs Attack Skill Magic Holiness Elithe When revealed, make a contested Skill vs. Skill roll against a Character in the Raiding Party (Raiding Player’s choice). If successful, the Raiding Party must give one attached Treasure to another Party. HP 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 Illus. Matthew S. Armstrong © 2008 AEG Monster XP 4 Attack Skill Magic Holiness Darkhelm When revealed, draw one Inn Card from each deck and attach them to Darkhelm. HP 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Monster XP 6 Whenever a Character or Monster suffers a Wound (either during Combat or as the result of another Card effect), a Wound marker is placed on it. In many instances, the Player may decide which Character in his Adventuring Party suffers Wounds. Unless stated, a Character always takes the full damage of a single action and can suffer more Wounds than it has Hit Points. DeATh When a Character or Monster suffers a number of Wounds equal to or greater than its Hit Point total, it is killed. Dead Monster Cards are immediately Banked. Dead Characters are removed from play and all of their Attached Cards are discarded. Any actions to heal a Character or abate Death must be taken immediately. If a Character ever dies, the dead Character is removed from play, and a new Character is drawn from the Character Pool and placed in the Inn. If an entire Adventuring Party is killed (or the last remaining Character is somehow removed from the Adventuring Party), all cards Attached to Adventuring Party members are discarded. The Adventuring Party Marker is returned to the Inn, and the Player draws a new Character from the Character Pool to start a new Adventuring Party. The Player’s turn ends. Illus.
