Words for Zargon

With all the playing that we have done over the years. We find that it is a lot more fun when a Hero dies every now and then. It reminds us that they are in a very dangerous Quest. So we stretch the rules when it comes to a Hero dying. He can still be saved by one of his friends pouring a life restoring potion down their throat. We make it a question of how long has the person been dead. Now Zargon, if a Hero should die and no one has an Elixir of Life on them, then you can make it possible for them to find some in a secret compartment in the wall or in a chest. You are Zargon and you know that you are going to lose. It's all a matter of making the Heroes work and have fun beating you. There is a problem with bad players, I've played the game with many people and I'm lucky to have children who take the game realistically. Always remember that you are Zargon! You control the board, so you are only limited by your imagination as to how you can adjust the game to match your players. But also is a problem with Heroes running off by themselves. I encountered this problem with a person who understood nothing about teamwork and the friendship between the Heroes. It took me little time to finish him off and the game was over. We tend to look at the game as true to life as one can get. If I was in a dungeon filled with monsters, you're darn right I'm going to stick close to my friends. Now because we stretch the rules on a Hero dying, we give back to Zargon this. We make it cost a Hero's turn to drink any potion. He "must" back away from the fighting, drink, and then resume his fighting. Sounds more real anyway.

This adventure introduces a new item. The poisoned throwing dagger. When a Hero throws one. He rolls 3 white dice. 0 skulls is a miss. 1, 2, or 3 skulls is a hit. Each skull costs the monster a Body Point. If the monster has more Body Point left, then the poison takes effect and the monster will lose 2 Body Points on each of its next turns. If more skulls are rolled than the monster has Body Points for then this is an instant kill. The poison has no effect on the undead. We thought, for this adventure, that we would limit the number of arrows the Elf has. Forcing him to use them wisely. More challenging.

This adventure also introduces two new monsters. The "Mountain Orc" and the "Iron Skeleton". The Mountain Orc's icon is the Orc's icon in red. Their statistics can be found on the matching Monster Cards. You will be told which Skeletons are Iron Skeletons in the Quests.

Zargon, the Heroes have a keen eye. I always tell them when they are about to step on a trap. Unless otherwise stated in the Quests. So if they are in a room, and they do not want to search it because they have all the good treasure cards. Then tell them that they see a secret door.

I have designed the Quests with hiding places in the hallways for monsters. You can use these monsters to come up behind the Heroes and attack in the rear. I really wish that the game came with twice as many treasure cards as it does. My Heroes love to search for treasure and I find that they endanger themselves with all the wandering monsters cards that they pick. So if they do not want to pull any more cards, don't force them. Be generous and if there is something in the room that they need, tell them about it. There are times that I have a Warlock attack the Heroes as soon as they open the door. I know that this is unfair to the Heroes. But hey, I'm Zargon, I can do what I want. So they just have to live with it. HaHa.

Quest 11

Wandering Monster in this Quest: Skeleton

Zargon, set up the whole board. Put out everything including the monsters. Use the open doors in every room, except the center room. Use 4 closed doors there. Put the Warlock on top of the stair's tile. Stairs are surrounded by an invisible wall. Look at the map, each room is given a number. As the Wizard goes through a door notice the direction of the arrow that points to the door. The number that is next to the arrow is the number of the room that he will travel to. Now it does not matter which door you make it look like the Wizard uses to travel "into" that room. It's better if you mix them up to confuse your player.

(Example; Wizard starts in room #16. There is only one door, so that door will take him to room #15. Now, there are two doors in room #15 so make it look like he entered that room by putting him next to either doorway. Now if the Wizard tries the north door he will travel to room #3. And once in room #3 if he takes the east door he will travel to room #4, but if he uses the north door he will travel to room #12… Easy!)

Wizard can search each room after he kills the monster that is there. But he can only search a room once. You will know that he has been to this room before by the absence of the monster to fight. Wandering monsters for the Wizard is a regular Skeleton. Tell the Heroes in the center room that it is very important the way that they position themselves. An Iron Skeleton can come through any of the 4 doors and the Skeletons get first attack. Good positioning will make it possible to protect a dying friend or surround the (the printed note ends here, mid-sentence)

C: Inside the cupboard the Heroes find good food and 4 bottles of potion. Each bottle will restore 4 Body Points. The Heroes also see a secret door.

Zargon, if the Heroes DO NOT have the iron key:

"It's locked." Says the Dwarf. "See, we need a key." You try the dagger but it does not work. "I will cast a landside spell." Says the Elf. "No wait! Such a spell would be wasted. Look at the floor, see how it is clear here. The Orcs know about this door. Let us see if we can find the key first." Says the Wizard.

Zargon, if the Heroes DO have the iron key:

"It's locked." Says the Dwarf. "Right here, that iron key we found will fit here."

D: The Orc behind the table knows magic. His 1st spell is Cloud of Chaos, his 2nd spell is Ball of Flame and his 3rd spell is Tempest. When Orc's body guards are killed he then casts Escape. Heroes find an iron key and a secret door.

Friends defend themselves until Hero can break the spell. Fimir's 2nd spell is Summon Orcs to surround himself. Fimir's 3rd spell is Summon Undead. Place these monsters out in the hall way with the Heroes. I know that this seems a little unfair. But hey, I'm Zargon. Then the Fimir resorts to physical combat.
