The Tigress scours the seas and the coastal villages tremble. Preposterous legends tell of how the sea witch found a companion, a man of iron whose wrath rivals that of a wounded lion. When survivors of the plundered Stygian ships pronounce the names of Bêlit and Conan, they cast curses. However, the Tigress continues to roam the seas, devastating the southern coasts, but does not hesitate to venture further north, even beyond the lands of Shem.
There, unaware of the terrible, lurking threat, a ship flying the royal banner of Aquilonia sails toward the Khorotas River, its destination the province of Poitain. The vessel’s precious cargo, originally from the Kingdom of Kush, surely explains the one thing that separates it from all others who sail within these waters: A large garrison of Bossonian soldiers equipped to counter any act of piracy and to scuttle the ship in case of failure. The sun is just rising when the lookout gives a shout of warning. A long deadly shape approaches from the starboard side: A serpentine, tapering galley with a raised deck extending from bow to stern. Forty oars on each side propel it quickly through the water. At the very top of the mast floats a long scarlet pennant, ominous emblem of the queen of fire, steel, and carnage...along with her terrible Cimmerian lover.

Special Rules
Treasures: Treasure tokens
represent riches being
transported on the vessel. Heroes add up the Treasure tokens they’ve acquired at the
end of the game.
Retrieve a Treasure: A Hero or Ally in an area with a Treasure token may retrieve a treasure. Heroes carry out a simple manipulation. Allies lose their attack action. The player picks up the token and places it under their miniature’s base. This token moves with the miniature. Treasure tokens may be dropped, but may not be thrown or caught. A Hero or Ally may only pick up one Treasure token at a time.
Steal a Treasure: A Hero or Ally in possession of a Treasure token in an area with a rowboat (shown on the game board) OR an adjacent area if the area with the Treasure token is occupied, successfully steals the treasure and puts it in the rowboat. Remove the token from the game board and place it next to the Hero’s sheet.
Scuttle the Ship: An Overlord unit already in an area
with a token 
may help scuttle
the ship by spending its movement AND attack actions to damage a section of the hull. Once a
section of the hull has been damaged, flip the token so the number side is facing up to indicate
the hull has been damaged. If 5 hull sections have been damaged when the Overlord finishes a turn,
the game ends at the end of turn 7.
