THE ATTACK ON OAKDALE

Quest 3 - The Attack Of The Chaos Overlords


[note:  Place the Heroes on the board on location 'A' before reading this]    Once again you respond to a frantic call from the Mayor.  "This is the worst news yet.  Our defenses are crumbling under an all out Chaos assault.  Several Warlock Overlords are in the city, seeking to destroy all that are loyal to the Emperor.  If you cannot stop this attack, we are all doomed!".


Wandering Monster:  Fimir


Notes:

A.  This is the Mayor's office.  The Heroes start the quest here.  Place them in any of the squares around the Mayor's desk.  Do not place the Fimir on the board until you have read the Quest Intro above.  After reading it, place the Fimir on the board.  Read "The Mayor turns to see a huge Chaos monster entering the room.  'The Overlords' minions have entered my office.  Please, protect me' he screams".


If a Hero attempts to search the room for anything, read "They Mayor looks up and shouts frantically 'You don't have time for that!  You must find the Chaos attackers and destroy them!'  Your search fails."

To finish the quest, the Heroes must return to the Mayors office after killing all the monsters marked on the board.  Each time the Heroes re-enter this room, read one of the paragraphs below:

1.  If the Heroes return here but all the monsters have not been killed, read "The Mayor sees you enter and says 'You have done an excellent job so far, but an aide was just here telling me that there are still Chaos forces in the village.  You must find them and destroy them."

2.  If the Heroes return here and have killed all the monsters, read "The Mayor sees you enter and says 'Wonderful.  You have destroyed all the Overlords and their minions and saved our village again.  Here is a reward for your faithful service".  The Mayor gives you 1000 gold coins."

If any of the Heroes have taken any of the items on the weapons rack in the Blacksmith's shop, read "Rolf the Blacksmith has was hiding in his shop, and says that he saw you take some items, and has asked me to deduct their price from your reward.  The cost of the items is [add up what was taken] leaving you with [subtract the cost of the items from the reward] gold coins.

Whether the Heroes took anything from the Blacksmith or not, read "The Mayor concludes 'The Emperor's troops have arrived, and we can finally defend our village.  I must ask one more favor from you, though.  Until the Chaos Fortress in the DarkFang Mountains is found and destroyed, our village will never truly be safe.  I beg you to please find the fortress and destroy it.  Perhaps you can find the leader of the forces and put a stop to his evil scheming forever!'"

E.  The Weapons rack contains 5 Daggers, a Broadsword, a Helmet, and a suit of Chainmail.  The Heroes may take any of these, but if they do mark this down in your notes (they will have to pay for these items later, but don't tell them this.)
