Objective

If a Hero has fled the fort with Olivia before the end of turn 8, the Heroes win the game. If Olivia dies, the Heroes immediately lose the game.

Setup

The game starts with the Heroes’ turn.

• Warrior: Conan (Battle Axe, Shield, Leather Armor)
• Rogue: Shevatas (Sword, Throwing Knives, )
• Sorcerer: Hadrathus (Dagger, and 3 spells: Teleportation, Mitra’s Halo, Lightning Storm). He does not start with Mitra’s Halo cast.

After setup, each Hero moves 4 gems from their Reserve zone to their Fatigue zone.

Asset Deck

Chests require a simple Manipulation to open. The Asset deck contains: Life Potion x2, Explosive Orb x2, Chainmail, Crossbow.

Event

When the Event tile is activated, resolve each of the following events in order:

1. Garrison: Add 1 Hyena and 1 Bossonian Guard to each reinforcement area . If there aren’t enough for each area, players choose. Then add 1 Bossonian Archer to the area with the Stairs token .
2. Bestial Haste: Rocks Fall: Select the area with the Strongest Hero and roll (rerolls allowed). Each Hero (including Olivia) in that area suffers unavoidable damage equal to the number of successes rolled. Overlord units do not take damage.

Special Rules

Game Board Rules: Standard game board rules apply.

Olivia: She is represented by the Princess miniature. Olivia is unconscious, counts as an object with an Encumbrance value of 6, and can be picked up by a Hero by performing a simple Manipulation. That Hero takes the token and places it next to their Hero sheet. Olivia has 1 life point and no Armor. She dies if she suffers any damage.

Jailor: The Captain is Arbanus of Koth. When Arbanus dies, place the Key card in the area in which he died.

Olivia’s Cell: The only way to open Olivia’s cell door is for a Hero with the Key to perform a simple Manipulation.

Conan’s Cell: The only way to open Conan’s cell door is for a Hero to perform a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 2, or to use the Wall Wrecker skill.

Doors: A unit (Hero or Overlord) other than a Hyena can move across a door (except Olivia’s or Conan’s cell doors) as though it were a border by spending 1 additional movement point. If they do, remove that door from the board. When determining a path to the Target Hero, Hyenas do not consider paths that pass through closed doors.

Critical Hit: If a Hyena rolls 2 successes during an attack, roll 1 and add the result to the attack power.

Thak: Thak targets the Strongest Hero.

Fleeing the Fort: A Hero can flee the fort from a reinforcement area by spending movement points as though crossing a border. Once a Hero has fled, they cannot return to the board. A Hero that has fled is not considered to be killed; they are still counted for the number of Activation tokens to be drawn.
