Events

Event 1

Perform the following actions in order:

1. Place up to 4 Skeletons in the area with the token.
2. If the Outer Dark Demon is on the board, activate it. The Outer Dark Demon will target the Hero carrying the Black Stone. If that Hero cannot be reached, or if no Hero is carrying the Black Stone, the Outer Dark Demon follows standard activation rules.

Event 2

Perform the following actions in order:

1. Place up to 4 Worms of the Earth in the same area with the Hero who has the most gems in their Reserve zone. In case of a tie, players decide.
2. If the Outer Dark Demon is on the board, activate it (as described above in Event 1).

Special Rules

Game Board Rules: Standard game board rules apply, except for the areas highlighted in red on the setup diagram. These areas are inaccessible but do not block line of sight. Units with the Flying skill may not pass over these areas.

Doors: Doors require a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 1 to open. Overlord units cannot pass through closed doors, and waste their activation if doors block all exits from their area.

Skuthus the Slippery: When Skuthus activates, roll (no rerolls allowed). If the result is:

1 success - Place him in the area with the token.

2 successes - Place him in the area with the token.

3 successes - Place him in the area with the token.

Blank - He doesn’t move.

Then activate Skuthus. He casts Bori’s Rage rather than using his attack die.

The Black Stone: When Skuthus is killed, place the Black Stone token in his area. A Hero may pick up the Black Stone with a simple Manipulation. It has an Encumbrance value of 0. Place the Outer Dark Demon in the reinforcement area . A Hero with the Black Stone may exit the game board from the reinforcement area by spending movement points as though crossing a border.

Outer Dark Demon: The Outer Dark Demon is not activated by Activation tokens, but rather by Events (described above).
