To be read to the Heroes at the beginning of the quest:


My friends, I have some terrible news.  After an absence of centuries, the evil wizard Tristain is back in the kingdom.  Where he has been these years no one knows, but he has recruited a large force of evil creatures and has re-occupied his long abandoned castle.  I believe he is planning a war against the Emperor.  It has been rumored that Tristain is trying to strike a bargain with the dragon Sharm to gain his help in the coming war.  If this happens and Tristain is able to combine his power with Sharm's, they will be undefeatable.  Now, while he is consolidating his army at his castle, and before Sharm allies himself with Tristain, is the time to strike.  Your small force may be able to slip into the castle unnoticed and destroy Tristain.  But beware, his army is made up of many foul creatures.  Our spies tell of humans twisted by his cruel magics into hideous monsters.  You must stop him now!

New Monsters:

There are several new monsters in this quest.  The figures are from the game DragonStrike.  The cards for these monsters are in the file cards1-3.bmp.  The Dragon, Manscorpion, and Troll figures are extra large and take up two squares.  They can be attacked by any figure in an adjacent square, even if the monster is facing the other way.  Cards for other figures found in DragonStrike, even though they are not used in the game, are in the cards1-3.bmp files also.

The direction the large monsters initially face is up to the Game Master.

Game Difficulty:

These quests are very hard, especially the second one.  The Dragon is an extremely difficult character.  If the Heroes in your game lack experience and/or artifacts to help them, you may wish to make the monsters less difficult.
