Objective

To win the game, the Heroes must accomplish these objectives in order:

1. Their ship must catch up with the Vandal as indicated by the Invocation token reaching 6.
2. Kill Zaparavo.
3. Sink the Vandal, as indicated by the Alarm token reaching 8.

Setup

This scenario starts on the ship marked . No unit can leave this ship until it catches the Vandal, at which point the entire game board is available. The game starts with the Heroes’ turn.

• Warrior: Conan (Battle Axe, Leather Armor)
• Rogue: Shevatas (Parrying Dagger, Throwing Knives, Leather Armor)

Place the Invocation token and the Alarm token on space 0 of the Turn track.

Do not place any units on the Vandal during the initial setup.

Set Activation token to the side. This will be added during the course of the scenario.

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

Asset Deck

Chests require a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 2 to open. The Asset deck contains: Life Potion x2, Explosive Orb, Crossbow.

Event

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

1. Reinforcements: 1 green Pirate, 1 blue Pirate, and 1 Bossonian Archer to the reinforcement area on ship . Repeat this for the Vandal if the Heroes’ ship has caught the Vandal.
2. Turncoats: Roll (no rerolls allowed). For each success shown on the die, remove a red mutineering Pirate from the board. Replace it with a green or blue Pirate from off the board (if possible).
3. Sailing: Reduce the or token (whichever is in play) by 1, if possible.

Special Rules

Game Board Rules: Standard game board rules apply. Anyone entering the water is eaten by sharks and dies.

Leap: If a unit (Hero or Overlord) fails to leap, they remain in their area. Overlord units prioritize leaping over an area with the lowest leap difficulty unless leaping over a higher leap difficulty area is the only way to reach their Target Hero or Alternate Target Hero.

Duelists: Captain and Zaporavo target the Strongest Hero.

Mutineering Pirates: Red Pirates are mutineering Pirates, Heroes’ Allies. They cannot be activated using Leadership. Once per Heroes’ turn, the Heroes can activate all the Pirates of the red Pirates tile, for free. They are activated in the same way as Overlord units (Movement & Attack), except that Heroes cannot use benefits.

(5 Max)  

With me!: At the start of the Heroes’ turn, roll (no rerolls allowed). For each success shown on the die, add 1 red mutineering Pirate to Conan’s area. If the result is blank, reduce the token by 1 (if possible). Note: Once the Heroes catch the Vandal (see special rule Catch the Vandal), this special rule no longer applies.

Endless Pirates: When a Pirate Activation token is drawn, reinforce 1 Pirate of that color before activating the tile. Note: Once the Heroes catch the Vandal (see special rule Catch the Vandal), this special rule no longer applies.

Catch the Vandal: A Hero in an area marked can perform a simple Manipulation to increase the token by 1 if there are more Heroes and Allies than enemies in that area. Each Hero can only do this once per turn, and not in the same area. Once the Turn marker reaches 6, remove the token and perform the following actions in order:

1. Add Activation token to the Reserve zone of the Book of Skelos and place Zaporavo as indicated on the setup diagram.
2. Place two Bossonian Archers on the Vandal as indicated on the setup diagram (if possible).
3. Evenly distribute all green Pirates and all blue Pirates that are not currently on the game board in the areas marked .

Ballista Fire: A Hero in an area marked can perform a simple Manipulation to fire a ballista if there are more Heroes and Allies than enemies in that area. Roll (no rerolls allowed). Increase the Alarm token by 1 for each success shown on the die. Each ballista can only be fired once per Heroes’ turn. If Zaporavo is on the Vandal when it sinks, he is eaten by sharks and dies.
