Two sizes:2x3 squares3x4 squares

Slippery IceDo not place a slippery ice tileon the gameboard until a Herosteps on the appropriate square.Whenever a Hero moves onto aslippery ice square, the Herorolls 1 combat die. If a whiteshield is rolled, the Hero fallsand his turn ends immediately.Any other roll means the Herocan continue moving (if he hasmoves left). The Hero must rollfor each slippery ice squaremoved onto. A fallen Herocannot take any actions ordefend against attacks until hisnext turn.

Playing the Barbarian Quest Pack6

7

1. The Ques ts

These ten new Quests are generally played the same way as theQuests in the Game System. As in the Game System, Heroes arereturned to full strength between Quests. (All Body and Mind Pointsare restored.)

The first three Quests are solo adventures, designed for play by aBarbarian alone. These can be used as an introduction to HeroQuestfor a new player or as fun Quests to play when only two playersare available. Also, if a new Barbarian is to join a party ofexperienced characters, these three Quests will enable the Barbarianto catch up with the other Heroes by gaining gold, equipment andmagical items.

There are a few gameplay differences in the Barbarian Quest Pack.

The next five Quests are all group Quests. The last two Quests arealso group Quests, but they are played as a single, double-sizedQuest, as the Heroes must cross between the two Quests to achieveultimate victory.

2. Female BarbarianThis Quest Pack includes a figure for a femaleBarbarian. Her statistics are the same as the maleBarbarian in the Game System. She can be used toreplace the male Barbarian figure, if the playerprefers to play a female character. Any reference to“Barbarian” in Quest Packs also applies to thefemale Barbarian. A group of Heroes can containonly one Barbarian at a time.

3. Starting and Ending a QuestThe Heroes do not always start and end their Quests on the spiralstairway. The message from Mentor at the beginning of each Questtells where the Heroes start and end the Quest. When there is aniron entry or wooden exit door, it is indicated on the Quest map byan arrow (pointing into the gameboard for the entry door, and outof the gameboard for the exit door). When there is an entry door, itis always placed on the gameboard in its specified location beforeeach Quest begins. At the start of an adventure, the Heroes line upoutside the door and ask Zargon to open it.Note: As with a regular door, an exit door is not placed on thegameboard by Zargon until a Hero looks down the appropriatecorridor.

4. Mind Points When a Hero reaches zero Mind Points, he is not dead but inshock. (A Hero cannot go below zero Mind Points.) He rolls only 1red die to move, attacks with only 1 combat die, and defend withonly 2 combat dice. (Armor, weapons and most artifacts do notincrease the attack or defend dice when a Hero is in shock.) TheHero’s attack and defend dice can be temporarily increased by somespells and spell scrolls.

The extra Mind Points gained from certain artifacts (such as theTalisman of Lore), can be lost in battle. For example, a Barbarianwith the Talisman of Lore (for a total of 3 Mind Points) goes intoshock after he accumulates 3 Mind Points of damage.

In this and other Quest Packs, it is important to keep track ofHeroes’ current Mind Points. Tell the players to use the bottom rowof “Body Point” boxes on their Character Sheets to record MindPoint damage.

5. Rule Clarifications Passing Items: A Hero can pass a potion, artifact, weapon, or anyother item to another Hero only if the 2 Heroes are in adjacentsquares and neither Hero is adjacent to a monster.

Spiral Stairway: During a Quest, if a Hero stands on a spiralstairway and attacks monsters, the monsters can attack back onZargon’s turn. When a spiral stairway is used as the exit at the endof a Quest, any Hero who moves onto that spiral stairway isimmediately removed from the gameboard.

Multiple Attacks: A Hero rolls defend dice once for each attackingmonster. For example, a Hero attacked by 3 Zombies gets 3 separatedefend rolls. A Hero attacked by a monster with multiple attacks(such as the Polar Warbear), however, gets only 1 defend roll againstthat monster per turn, no matter how many of the monster’s attacksare directed at the Hero.

6. Wandering MonstersSeveral Quests in this Quest Pack have multiple wanderingmonsters. These monsters may appear if a Hero draws a WanderingMonster card from the Treasure card deck or if a Hero moves ontoa Wandering Monster trap as described above right. For example,when the Quest notes say, “Wandering monsters in this Quest:3 Goblins,” place 3 Goblins adjacent to the Hero who initiated thewandering monster encounter. If fewer than 3 adjacent squares areavailable, place the remaining monsters as close to the Hero aspossible.

Note: If you run out of the monsters called for, substitute othermonsters of similar strength.

7. New Traps

The Wandering Monster trap, the Stalactite trap and the Swinging Axetrap do not have tiles.

Wandering Monster Trap: When a Hero moves onto a squarewith the trap symbol shown at left, tell the player that theHero must stop on that square. The monster or monsterslisted as wandering monsters for that Quest appear on anysquare or squares adjacent to the Hero or as close aspossible. The monsters immediately attack and the Herodefends. (If the Hero has not already taken an action thatturn, he may do so after he defends.) Otherwise the turnpasses to the next player (or to Zargon). Each WanderingMonster trap can be activated only once. Monsters cannotactivate it. Ignore the trap after the first rime a Hero springsit. Wandering Monster traps are so well concealed that theyare not detected when a Hero searches for traps.

Stalactite Trap: This deadly spear of ice clings to the ceilingof ice caverns. Unless searched for and disarmed, thestalactite falls upon the first Hero to move onto the trapsquare, causing 1 Body Point of damage. Monsters do notspring Stalactite traps.

Swinging Axe Trap: When a Hero moves onto this square,a huge axe swings out from a hidden alcove in the ceiling.The Hero then rolls 2 combat dice and loses 1 Body Pointfor each skull rolled. The Hero does not get to roll defenddice. A Swinging Axe trap can be searched for and disarmed.Until it is disarmed, a Swinging Axe trap affects every Herowho steps onto the square. Monsters do not springSwinging Axe traps.

8. Large MonstersWhen a monster takes up more than one square (the Frozen Horrorin this Quest Pack, for instance), that monster can attack anyone onany adjacent square (including diagonally), even if the monster’sfigure is facing away from the target.

9. Selling Excess ItemsAs the Heroes gain better equipment, they can sell some of their olditems to the Armory. Only items that are listed for sale in theArmory (on the cardboard platform in the Game System) can be soldback to the Armory. The Hero receives gold coins equal to half of theArmory’s price when selling items to the Armory. Thus a Hero whosells a longsword (which costs 350 gold coins) back to the Armoryreceives 175 gold coins. Items sold at the Armory for odd sums (thedagger at 25 gold coins, for example) can be sold back for half price,rounded down (12 gold coins for the dagger).

10. TreasureTo eliminate conflicts among the Heroes, large gold coin treasuresfound in treasure chests should be divided among all survivingHeroes.

11. New Treasure CardsThe 6 new treasure cards should be mixed into the Game System’sdeck of treasure cards before play begins. Draw from this deck whena Hero searches for treasure.

12. New Artifact Cards Amulet of the North, Ring of Warmth and Snowshoes of Speed:These artifacts are similar to the artifacts in the Game System. Whena Hero finds one of these artifacts, he should record it on hisCharacter Sheet.

Spell Scrolls: Six of the artifact cards in this Quest Pack are spellscrolls. These are used just like the spell cards in the Game System.However, a spell scroll can be used by ANY Hero (not just the Wizardand Elf) who finds one. Note that spell scrolls can be used only once.

When a Hero finds an unnamed spell scroll, Zargon should turn allof the spell scroll cards in this Quest Pack facedown, mix them up,and let the Hero draw one at random. The Hero should then recordthe spell scroll on his Character Sheet and return the scroll card tothe scroll deck. After a spell scroll has been used, it must be crossedoff the Hero’s Character Sheet.

13. MercenariesThis Quest Pack contains 6 Mercenary figures, with 12interchangeable weapons that enable you to put together the 4different types of Mercenaries (the Scout, the Swordsman, theCrossbowman and the Halberdier).

In some Quests, Mercenaries serve as evil monsters who opposethe Heroes. Whenever a Mercenary is shown on a Quest map, itshould be considered a monster controlled by Zargon.

Mercenaries are also soldiers who can be hired by a Hero before aQuest begins. They will accompany any Hero on a Quest, if theHero pays their fee. The fee for each type of Mercenary is given onthe Mercenary’s card, as well as on the Mercenaries Chart on page33 of this book. The gold must be paid before the Quest begins.Mercenaries may be hired for any group Quest in this Quest Pack,but not for the solo Quests.

A Mercenary is controlled by the Hero who hired him. TheMercenary moves and attacks immediately after that Hero’s turn.A Hero can control as many Mercenaries as he can afford to hire.A Mercenary can move, open doors, attack and defend as a Hero, buthe can take no other actions (except for the Scout, who can searchfor and disarm traps). A Mercenary does not receive any treasure. Ifa Hero dies on a Quest, any Mercenary hired by that Hero continueson the Quest, controlled by the fallen Hero’s player.

The Scout, Swordsman, Crossbowman and Halberdier each havedifferent statistics and abilities. These are detailed on the cardsthat come in this Quest Pack, as well as on the Mercenaries Charton page 33 of this book.

If a Quest map calls for a type of Mercenary that is not availablebecause they’ve all been hired by Heroes, Zargon may substitutea different type of Mercenary, or another monster altogether.

Happy though your homecoming is, bitter tidings are onthe minds of the tribal elders. They wearily tell you whyyou have been summoned back to aid your people intheir time of need.

An ancient evil, long thought banished, has arisen tothreaten the Northlands once more. The Frozen Horrorhas burst forth from the icy tomb where it has restedthese last centuries, recovering its strength and awaitingZargon’s signal. At last, its master has called it, and theFrozen Horror has returned to its ancient Seat of Powerdeep within Ice Mountain. It has regained the Scepter ofGlacial Majesty, an evil artifact of vast power. As wespeak, the Frozen Horror is reviving its minions andenacting its plans to cover the Northlands and theEmpire in a shroud of deadly ice.

Your people seek a champion to oppose the evil of theFrozen Horror. You have been called in hopes that youmight prove to be that champion. To determine yourworthiness, the elders have set before you threedangerous Quests. These must be undertaken by youalone. If you survive this test, lead your companions intothe depths of Ice Mountain. There you must find anddestroy the Scepter of Glacial Majesty before it achievesits full power. Only when the Scepter is no more can youconfront the Frozen Horror and destroy it forever.

You must call upon all your courage and skill, Barbarian!The greatest perils you have ever faced await within IceMountain. Great, too, is the treasure that will be yours ifyou succeed. Among the many riches to be found is theAmulet of the North, an ancient artifact that is said togrant its wearer marvelous powers. Good luck, mightywarrior. The fates of many depend on you!

CConclusion

In appreciation of your heroism, thetribal elders have awarded you and yourfellow Heroes 1,000 gold coins each.

We have won this battle, but we mustremain vigilant. Zargon’s power growsstill. The Frozen Horror returned oncebefore when the Forces of Good thoughtit dead, and it may well return again. Fornow, though, the danger has passed.

Your people will sing your praisesforever, Barbarian! Centuries from now,your descendants may have to findanother champion to defend themagainst the agents of Chaos. May they finda Hero as worthy as you!

Zargon’s plans in other regions remainunchecked. The Empire is sorely pressedon many fronts. Soon your services willbe needed again. I fear that manydangerous tasks still lie ahead of you.

But for tonight, you and yourcompanions are honored quests at agreat feast. Tales of valor will be told, andthere will be much rejoicing. Comereceive the thanks of your kinsmen!

During Zargon’s turn, each Ice Gremlin can either attack a Hero orMercenary, or it can steal one item from one Hero (Zargon’s choice).The item stolen cannot be the armor or shield a Hero is using, nor theweapon he is wielding. As soon as an Ice Gremlin has stolen an item, itruns away at full speed. The Heroes can chase the Ice Gremlin on theirturn. If they catch it and destroy it, they regain the stolen item. If noHero can see the Ice Gremlin at the start of Zargon’s turn, the IceGremlin has escaped with the item. The item should be crossed off theHero’s Character Sheet. Remove the Ice Gremlin figure from thegameboard.

Whenever the Yeti’s attack causes a Hero to lose at least 1 Body Point,the Yeti grabs the Hero in a powerful hug. This hug inflicts 2 BodyPoints of damage to the Hero at the start of each subsequent Zargonturn. The Hero cannot defend against this attack, nor can he take anyactions. The Yeti can make no other attacks while hugging. Thiscontinues until either the Hero dies or the Yeti is killed by the Hero’scompanions.
