Objective

The Heroes win if they drop 5 chests in the zone marked and there are no enemies present in that zone.

The Heroes don’t need to be present in to meet these victory conditions.

Setup

The game starts with the Heroes’ turn. The Heroes deploy in the reinforcement zone.

Set the Fire tokens on the table for use in this scenario.

If the Heroes lost the previous scenario, Zaporavo will continue to pose a threat. Place him on the map as indicated, but do not assign his tile an Activation token.

After setup, each Hero moves 3 gems from their Reserve zone to their Fatigue zone. If they lost the previous scenario they must move 4 from Reserve to Fatigue.

Asset Deck

Heroes do not have time to open chests during the scenario. After the scenario, they will have the option to acquire some or all of the following items and spells: Telekinesis, Akbitanan Sword, Explosive Orb, Parrying Dagger, and Bossonian Bow, Spiked Shield.

Event

There are two events in this scenario. Activate only the event with the corresponding number and complete all parts of the event in the order presented.

Event 1:

1. The Dead Return: The Dead Return: Up from the blood-soaked deck rise the fallen pirates, burning with unnatural life. Roll to determine how many pirates arise. Reroll the die once if the first result is blank. Add the Pirates to area or , whichever is closest to the Target Hero. If they would not be able to reach the Target the Hero from either zone, place them in the zone that would allow them to attack an. Alternate Target Hero. If neither is possible, players choose which of the two areas to place them in. If there is a Fire token in , pirates will no longer spawn there and will spawn in , where Fire tokens may not be placed. A maximum of 15 Pirates can be on the board at one time. Once the pirates are placed, activate them.
2. Zaporavo Yet Stands: Activate Zaporavo after the pirates have activated. He no longer has the Protected skill, as the dead do not obey him. His tile functions as printed.
3. Fire Arrows: Roll to see if a Fire token is added to the map (see Fire! under special rules).

Event 2:

1. Enter the Pictish Horde: The sharks have mysteriously vanished and now the water is teeming with Picts, some of whom are already climbing the ship. Roll to determine the number of Pict Hunters you will place in . Reroll the die once if the first result is blank. A maximum of 15 Pict Hunters can be on the board at one time. Picts do not activate as part of this event.
2. Fire Arrows: Roll to see if a Fire token is added to the map (see Fire! under special rules).

Special Rules

Fire! The invading Picts started a fire on your ship. Roll to determine the fire’s intensity (shown as a 1, 2, or 3 on the Fire token). Reroll the die once if the first result is blank. Unless the reroll is also blank, place the initial Fire token in any zone except or the stairwell (marked with a chest). Subsequent Fire tokens must be placed in a zone adjacent to an existing Fire token.

The number on the Fire token denotes how many unprevent- able wounds a miniature takes if they move into a Fire zone, as well as any round they start in a zone with a Fire token. Each unit already in a zone when a Fire token is placed in that zone immediately takes 1 unpreventable damage. Overlord miniatures will always avoid zones with a Fire token when moving. If there is no way to reach a Target Hero or Alternate Target Hero, they will remain in their current zone when they activate (even if they have Leap).

Leaping the Flames: A Hero with Leap may leap over one zone containing a Fire token to an adjacent zone. Follow the rules for Leap by considering each zone with a Fire token to be a leap area. The number on the Fire token is the number they must match or beat by the red die roll. A Hero may never leap more than one zone as part of the same action.

Outer Dark Demon: The Pictish sorcerer has summoned a vile demon from the Outer Dark. The Outer Dark Demon is unaffected by Fire tokens. The Outer Dark Demon will target the Strongest Hero.

Chests: Place one chest in the stairwell zone of the ship to indicate where Heroes pick up chests. This chest does not affect how many miniatures you can place in the zone (3 normal-sized miniatures is the threshold). A Hero in this zone may spend one gem for a simple Manipulation to retrieve a chest. This chest counts as two encumbrance and may be dropped for free or picked up again as a simple Manipulation. A Hero may only hold one chest at a time and may not throw the chest.

The stairwell zone: Only area and the adjacent mast zone have line of sight to units in the stairwell zone.
