Scenarios

picking a scenario

Players are encouraged to play the scenarios in the order they are presented. If you do wish to play out of order, consider playing Scenario 1, mixing the order of Scenarios 2-5, and finishing the campaign with Scenario 6. Mind you, the story will be out of order.

scenario epilogues

After each scenario, players are encouraged read the epilogue in the back of the book together. There is one epilogue for each scenario, with the exception of the final scenario which has two possible endings. Try not to read the epilogues ahead of time!

more than two players in a battle

The scenarios were designed for 2 players, but can be adjusted for more players. Below are the recommended adjustments:
Scenario 1: Add one deployment zone per extra player.
Scenario 2: Place 1 more shard per extra player.
Scenario 3: +1 Guard and +1W on Warden per extra player.
Scenario 4: Don’t roll for the dead. They always show up.
Scenario 5: At least 1 more building than players, always odd.

player misses a scenario

For each scenario a player misses, whether they could not attend or are joining the campaign late, perform the following sequence:

1. Count down injury recovery times, if any.
2. Distribute D3+4 experience to any warriors (max 2 per warrior) and conduct the Experience step.
3. Roll exploration to find wyrdstone. However, randomly determine two heroes that may not participate in the exploration roll, as if they had gone out of action. Players may use any items and benefits that confer bonuses to this phase, such as rolling extra dice or modifying dice results, but only if the heroes who have those benefits were not chosen to be left out. Ignore doubles, triples, etc. and the Exploration Chart.
4. Gain 1 Secret of Vantor.
5. Trading (any upkeep for Hired Swords must still be paid).
6. Update warband rating.

Note that the player does not participate in the Ritual of Binding for the game they missed.
