Novel 3
Lest the magical diamond fall into the wr ong hands, ten additional copies of
it have been crafted and hidden thr oughout Girdlegar d. The evil for ces are
on their way to nd them. Y ou must beat them to the punch!
This scenario requir es the following additional components:
Place them ready at hand next to the playing area.
Changes in Setup
Shufe the 11 Diamonds and distribute them face down among the
spaces on the map with a Diamond symbol .
Special Rules
When a space with a Diamond has an evil troop on it or becomes Perished
Land, turn the Diamond face up and place it next to the Council – on
Bislipur . Then roll two dice and add up the results. If the total is equal to or
lower than the total value of all the Diamonds on Bislipur, the evil forces
have found the true Diamond. As a result, all B and C cards become more
difcult for you (indicated by the symbol). When this happens, remove
all remaining Diamonds from the map.
When you are on a space with a Diamond, you can spend 1 action to
perform 1 Craft test 4+. If you succeed, you can turn the Diamond face
up and place it next to the Council – on Balendilín. Then roll two dice and
add up the results. If the total is equal to or lower than the total value of
all the Diamonds on Balendilín, the heroes have found the true Diamond.
As a result, all B and C cards become easier for you (indicated by the
symbol). When this happens, remove all remaining Diamonds from the map.
It is possible that neither side nds the true Diamond. In this case, the normal
text on the B and C cards applies.
If a Saga card refers to a
“lake”, it means the spaces
showing a light blue lake.
Novel 4
This scenario requir es the following additional components:
Place them ready at hand next to the playing area.
Changes in Setup
There are no changes in setup when playing novel 4.
Special Rules
Leaders
Some Saga cards may spawn Leaders of the evil for ces, telling you on
which map space you must place the corresponding marker . Leaders move
like normal troops, i.e. they follow the arrows on Perished Land (including
when the space becomes Perished Land ; they never move to the sides of the
arrow). When checking whether a space becomes Perished Land , Leaders
count as 2 troops. For instance, a space with 1 Leader and 3 troops already
transforms to Perished Land . Apart from that, Leaders are not considered
troops. Cards and effects that refer to troops do not af fect Leaders .
T o remove a Leader , you must score 2 hits in 1 battle. For instance, to
remove the Orc Leader you would have to roll two 4+. As usual, your dwarf
loses 1 Health point if you fail to remove an evil tr oop or Leader in 1 battle.
When 5 or more evil tr oops are removed from the Blacksaddle with at least
1 Leader remaining, the Doom token moves 2 spaces towards the Hero token
(instead of 1 space as usual). The Leader r emains at the Blacksaddle.
Dragons
Some Saga car ds may spawn Dragons, telling you on which map space you
must place the corresponding marker . Dragons are not considered troops
under any circumstances and so they do not count for turning spaces into
Perished Land. Cards and effects that refer to troops do not affect Dragons.
At the end of each turn , a Dragon moves 3 spaces in a random direction.
Roll 1 die and check on the marker in which direction the Dragon moves
the entire 3 spaces. Dragons disregard any heroes, troops, or Perished Land
in their way and they do not use Tunnels. If a Dragon moves to the edge of
Girdlegard, its movement ends there.
After a Dragon has moved, each dwarf who is on the same space or adjacent
to a Dragon loses either 1 piece of Equipment or 1 Health point. If you
decide to lose 1 Health point, any other player may lose that Health point
in place of you. How to defeat each Dragon is stated on the corresponding
Saga card.
