Objective

To win the game, all three Heroes must be alive and escape the Inn before the end of turn 8.

Setup

The game starts with the Heroes’ turn.

• Warrior: Conan
• Rogue: Shevatas
• Sorcerer: Hadrathus (3 spells: Mitra’s Healing, Set’s Possession, Mind Control).

Shuffle the following cards to make a Search Deck: Buckler, Kris, Ornamental Spear, Parrying Dagger, Pictish Fetish, Shield, Stygian Artifact, Sword, Xuthal’s Crown x2,

Set the Thak miniature and Activation token to the side. They 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 x2.

Event

Reinforcements: Reinforce 1 red Bossonian Guard, 1 blue Bossonian Guard, and 1 Bossonian Archer in the reinforcement area . Then activate all newly placed units.

Then roll 1 (no rerolls allowed) for each laid down miniature. If the combined result is 2 or more, the alarm is raised (see the Alarm! special rule).

Special Rules

Game Board Rules: Standard game board rules apply, including the Bar areas rule.

Doors: Heroes may never move through a door with a red border, but Overlord units can pass through them without removing them. The other door requires a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 5 to open.

Recovering Equipment: A Hero can search a room with a token by performing a simple Manipulation.

Draw a card from the Search Deck and remove the token from the board. Many of these items are useless, but some contain usable weapons.

Hidden in the shadows: The Overlord activates 1 fewer tile than normal during its turn until the alarm is raised. When a minion (Bossonian Guard or Archer) dies, lay their miniature down in its area instead of removing it from the board. A Hero in the area can perform a simple Manipulation to remove it from the board if there are no living enemy units in the area.

Alarm!: The alarm is raised if any of the following occurs:

• A unit uses Wall Wrecker or an Explosive Orb.
• During the Event, a combined result of 2 is rolled.
• At the end of turn 4.

When the alarm is raised, remove all dead minion miniatures from the board, reinforce all dead units, add Thak to the reinforcement area , add Activation token to the Reserve zone on the Book of Skelos, and activate all newly placed units. The Hidden in the Shadows special rule no longer applies.

Bossonian Archers: Target the Strongest Hero.

Thak: Targets the Strongest Hero. He cannot be affected by the Mind Control spell.

Breakout: When a Hero opens the last chest, they also take the Tools card. A Hero with Tools in an area with a window can perform a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 3. If the Hero succeeds, that area becomes an exit. Discard the Tools card. A Hero in an exit area can escape 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.
