The province of Conajohara is being sacked. United clans of Picts have crossed the Black River in massive numbers, intent on slaughtering Aquilonian settlers and annihilating Fort Tuscelan. At the head of the invading forces is the shaman Zogar Sag.
Conan and his band of scouts travel the border ceaselessly, saving all who can still be saved. In the vast swamps at the southern edge of the province, they arrive at a village as panicked settlers flee before the Pict advance. Only a courageous priestess of Mitra has remained to slow the savage warriors and prevent the coming massacre.
Conan and his allies set to building barricades and the priestess begins a magical ritual using the six relics of her village. If she can complete the invocation, it should slow Zogar Sag’s troops and buy the fleeing settlers the time they need to survive.

Special Rules
Barricades: Barricades block line of sight. A character cannot move across a barricade, but can attack a barricade as though it were an enemy character. Each barricade starts with 12 life points. When a barricade has 0 life points, remove it from the board. If a unit in a group attacks a barricade, units in that group can attack only that barricade during that activation. If a unit in a group attacks anything other than a barricade, units in that group cannot attack a barricade during that activation.
Relic:
At the beginning of the Overlord‘s turn, if any units are in areas with
relics 
,
remove those relics from the board.
Priestess of Mitra: The priestess cannot move or be attacked. At the beginning of the Overlord’s turn, if any unit is in an area with the priestess, she is killed.
Hut Flaps: A character must spend 1 extra movement point to move across a border into or out of a hut. Moving across an opening token does not cost the extra movement point.
Climbing:
A character with Climb can move
across boulders 
as though they were a border by spending 2 extra movement points.
