T6

After defeating the reawakened kings who protected the place, you search the barrow for new objects that might have gone unnoticed. After a fake tile you discover a parchment where the existence of a ring capable of dominating the most powerful of the demons is revealed. The text describes the exact place where this arcane artifact is located, very far from there, beyond the North Gate, in the Blood Kingdom, where the devastators dwell. Those that each lustrum descend to spread chaos over the human kingdoms, when the sea that covers the distance from their island to the continent freezes and allows these terrible warriors and their beasts to cross. That island of rugged coasts is home to several powerful oracles and sorcerers. One of them is Krogal, who protects his precious ring and other belongings behind a room covered with mirrors where nothing is what it seems. Do you dare to travel that far?

MISSION PENDING: M4

T7

You come out of the royal barrow battered and exhausted. Those undead creatures were truly tough and you could not achieve your purpose. You need to rest and a swamp druid guides you to Norkfall.

—These are tricky lands. Surely you can rest there and offer your services to the lord of the castle.

After listening to him, you resolve to travel to Norkfall to recover your strength.

Read narrative nexus: T5.

T8

You dared to enter Krogal's abode and that almost meant death. Luckily, you managed to get out before it was too late. Now you need some rest. During the trip you heard that your services might be needed in Norkfall, since it is a troubled region. There are barbarians and trolls to the north of the castle that dominates the region. You decide to travel there to get your strength back.

Read narrative nexus: T5.

T9

You've managed to rescue Daniel. When you arrive in Norkfall, the young man's parents come out to meet you, accompanied by the castle guards. You are greeted with gifts worth 6 coins each. In addition, you are invited to a feast that lasts for hours. During the celebration, Count Buchter asks you to escort his scribe, Plump, to a city under the domination of the barbarians of the north.

—Plump must come to parliament on trade matters ―, says Buchter―. Although he has a safeguard from the lord of the city, you know that all places can be dangerous, and I cannot trust the promises of barbarians used to living in the wilderness like beasts.

MISSION PENDING: M7

NOTE: before leaving Norkfall, you can rest at no cost in the local inn and receive free training at the combat school.

T10

Buchter looks at you with a heavy face when you inform him of the failure of the mission. He meets with you, the countess, his scribe Plump and a few guards on the upper floor of the keep. He has lost his son and, while his wife cries in anguish, he tries to stand firm despite his desire to shed tears and tear down the walls knocking them with his knuckles.

—We all knew that the mission was complicated and also that time was against us. I thank you for accepting the mission, despite your failure. You can rest here. On the other hand, Plump can surely inform you of some place where you can earn some money and be useful to us at the same time. From the nearby forests creatures emerge that plague our lands. Bears, great spiders, witches, even trolls.

NOTE: before leaving Norkfall, you can rest without cost in the inn of the place

Free the MerchantsIn this area of the grove the road descends to a hollow where the leaves and branches of shrubs are piled up dragged by the rains. It is a perfect place to take a false step on a hidden trap or be the victim of an ambush. The wagon of a merchant couple moves slowly. The draught horses are exhausted. They have no escort... Suddenly, the man, covered by an overcoat and a wide hat, hears a cracking sound coming from one side of the road. He tells himself it's just a bird or a squirrel climbing up a tree. He looks up and detects no movement. His wife, who travels behind him, alerts him with a shriek. Several shadows appear between the tree trunks and the first arrows whistle. The driver tries to herd the horses with the whip, but soon discovers that the road is cut by a trunk. There is no escape.

Rorg's LairDeep inside the forest of Rohuan there is such a big manor that it could look like a small fort. At one end a tower has been erected with masonry ashlars and the windows of the ground floor of the building have been blinded with planks. That is said to be the den of Rorg, a veteran mercenary who abandoned his profession to carve out a career outside the law. He is followed by a group of faithful ones who glorify his strength and determination. Some were companions in the trade. Others have been chosen from among the best thieves and murderers in the region. Together they form a small clan of outlaws that often descend south to devastate the region of Verneck.

Buried Kings

The field of barrows rises above the surrounding swamps. Twisted roots underwater make you stumble as you feel the bites of mosquito clouds. When you reach the dry terrain of the elevations you feel you have left behind an almost endless obstacle. Small hills plagued with barrows stand before you. Most of them hide no treasures. They are only excavations that deep a few meters underground and house the already desecrated tomb of a noble family. But you detect a Real burial mound whose lintels, carved with rich filigree, are in a perfect state, as if the continuous rains hadn't made a dent in those rocks. You get a little closer and soon discover that no one has dared to go in there. The corridor is flanked by wooden faces disfigured by pain. You are intimidated by a multitude of warnings and curses written in several languages. However, you feel the need to continue exploring. You are the fly entering the spider's lair.

Sabotage the ShipsYou leave the temple of Arishar with hardly any time to bandage your wounds. The orcs have not bothered to erase their tracks and it is not difficult to follow them. An elf warrior named Arlantas, appointed by the captain, accompanies you.—We will follow them walking parallel, at a sufficient distance so that they cannot detect us —says Arlantas—. This way, I think we'll be able to seize one of their ships and sabotage the others. We'll cut off their escape.

GOAL: sabotage one ship and take hold of the other one.FACTION: Great Orc Tribes.

SET-UPThe Reserve Point Counter and the Dark Player's card deck are not used. Achievement points are not taken into account in this quest, but you may use the counter to count the number of turns remaining.1 Characters in the group of heroes must be placed in any of the yel-

low shaded squares. They will be activated in the usual way. The group will have, at no cost, and for this adventure only, 2 flasks of “Greek fire” (take the cards from the Special Objects deck). This will apply even if the group had more such items among their equipment.Arlantas' help: The elf accompanies the group of heroes. He has the profile "Elf Mercenary" (take the card from the Mercenaries deck), but with 5.Depending on the number of heroes starting the adventure, place the following Dark Player's characters in the corresponding squares.1 hero: 1 Warrior with an axe and improvised shield. Orc shooter with a short bow.2 heroes: 3 Warrior with a spear and improvised shield, in addition to the above.3 heroes: 4 Black orc with a battleaxe, in addition to the previous ones.4 heroes: 5 Shooter with a short bow, in addition to the previous ones.5 heroes: 6 Orc boss with a battleaxe, in addition to the previous ones.

OTHER ELEMENTS2 Ship.3 The river is considered impassable. The footbridges are difficult

terrain (they cannot be destroyed).

SPECIAL RULES Time limit: heroes have 12 turns to reach

the goal (subtract one turn for each hero who started the adventure). Subtract 1 turn for each Fortune point used by the heroes. Subtract 2 turns if played with a , and 1 extra turn for each Fortune point used by the group of heroes.Sabotage the ship: heroes on a ship (not flying) who have at least one flask of “Greek Fire”, may use an Action to set the ship on fire. Then the ship will be considered sabotaged.Take control of a ship: in order to take control of a ship the number of heroes on it must be greater than the number of enemies for two consecutive turns.

4 Accessing ships: squares with the yellow dot give access to the ships. Heroes must perform a great jump to get to the square connected by the yellow line (these squares cannot be occupied by any of the Dark Player's characters). This is the only way to access ships as long as there are enemies in the scenario. If all enemies have been Knocked Out, that great jump will always be successful. If any character falls into the water, because of being pushed or failing the great jump, his turn will end and he will be regarded as swimming from then on. Heroes can't get on ships while swimming, but they can get to the land tiles, as long as they are empty.Priority target: all the creatures on the ship will preferably target heroes with a “Greek fire” flask. They will never leave the ships where they started the quest.

QUEST ENDMission accomplished: you managed to sabotage some of the

ships that the orc invaders were going to use to escape. Moreover, you have the command of one of them, which allows you to chase more of your enemies. Not far away you spot a ship which has managed to escape. Arlantas urges you to follow his instructions. He is a good sailor and believes that you can reach that enemy vessel with a goblin flag waving on its mast.Mission pending: M28 (you must play it immediately, without the heroes being able to rest. However all of them will recover their ).

Mission failed: you haven't achieved your goal. The orcs manage to escape to the open sea while you complain and watch them move away on the blue horizon.

Rewards:+1 XP if the heroes have achieved the goal.
