2 Players 3 Crows
Two audacious thieves, a deserter from Gunderland and a Cimmerian Barbarian, have forged a reputation among the city-states of Corinth by stealing riches and plundering caravans on the Road of Kings.
A corrupted priest of Anu, playing both fence and police spy, has ratted out the pair of thieves. The Gunderman is quickly captured and hanged. Conan, in his youthful impetuousness, avenges his associate’s death by looting the temple of Anu and eviscerating the priest responsible.
During his escape, Conan falls victim to “Anu’s Wrath,” a powerful spell that torments the Cimmerian with terrible hallucinations. He has only a short time to find the priest responsible and break the curse.
During a religious procession, Conan gets his chance: the priests of Anu, their escort of soldiers, and the strange man-ape they parade along the way make a stop at an inn.

When the event tile is activated, the Overlord resolves one of the events based on the number of priests that have been removed from the board: 0 priests - Reinforcement: 2 reinforcement points
1 priests - The Overlord places a Bossonian Guards tile at the end of the River (max. 4) and places 2 Bossonian Guard models with bases of that color in a reinforcement area. 2 priests - The Overlord chooses a Bossonian Guards tile. Each unit in that group gains up to 2 movement points, which the Overlord must immediately spend. 3+ priests - Unleashed: Once per game, the Overlord places the Thak model (10 life points) in the area indicated by the setup diagram and places the Thak tile at the end of the River. |

Special Rules
Interrogation:
A hero in an area with a priest can move 1 gem from their Reserve zone
to their Fatigue zone to roll 1 Red
die. This roll
is not affected by hindering. Resolve one of the following effects
based on the number of symbols shown on the die:
- 0: The priest resists interrogation; no effect.
- 1-2: The priest talks; if the priest can break the curse, the curse is broken. The Overlord informs the hero whether or not the curse is broken. Remove the priest’s token from the board.
- 3: The priest dies before talking; if the priest can break the curse, the curse is broken. The Overlord does not inform the hero whether or not the curse is broken. Remove the priest’s token from the board.
Thak’s Fury: At the start of turn 12, the Overlord resolves the “Unleashed” event. If Conan enters Thak’s area before the “Unleashed” event has been resolved, immediately resolve it when Conan enters the area.
