The war has raged on for quite some time, and Jandar has a shaky alliance with Ullar and Einar. Vydar's allegiance is unknown, and there have been rumors of one more Valkyrie creating an army deep within Ticalla jungle. Where this new Valkyrie's allegiance lies is a mystery, if he or she actually exists...

Jandar, Ullar, and Einar have received word that a great treasure may be hidden in Ticalla jungle, so they decide to send a group of adventurers to seek this out. Their alliance still shaky, they each send one warrior, to make sure that no single person can steal all the treasure.

Jandar sends one of his most trusted soldiers, Sir Denrick, knowing he's a solid fighter no matter the foe.

Ullar decides to test out his newest warrior, Brandis Skyhunter, whose bow should make quick work of anything found in the swamp.

And Einar chooses Shiori, as a chance to gain her honor back after disobeying his orders against the assault on the hive. (Swarm of the Marro)

Room 1:

It seems Utgar has also heard of this treasure... His Marro Drudge not able to find an entrance into the cave, attack the adventurers.

Player 2 has one squad of Marro Drudge. Player 1 must destroy all of the Drudge. The Granite Guardians are actually single stalagmites (I didn't put them back). Once the Drudge are gone, you can attack the boulders to try to gain access to the cave. 1 life, 5 defense. Once one is destroyed, the others turn into Granite Guardians and attack. Once those are defeated, continue to room 2...

Room 2:
(The starting spaces there to the wound markers)

The first steps into the cave reveal nothing. Attacking the rocks to either side reveal Granite Guardians, and treasure. Once the treasure has been claimed, Phantom Knights and two Raiders appear; their treasure has been disturbed...

Player 2 starts with nothing. One of the treasure glyphs is always the holy symbol of Pelor, the other is random. Player 1 kills the GG's, and Raiders appear and attack. Once everything is dead and they walk forward, the Knights block their path. Continue to Room 3...


Room 3:

Armed with new weapons, and weary from the last battles, they see their final goal in sight. A chest lies upon a large tomb, but there is a single Phantom Knight standing in front of it, blocking their path...

Player 2 has one Phantom knight (The one holding the sword in front of his head), in front of the glyph. Once a figure steeps onto the shadow, he disappears, and 4 zombies appear. Once the zombies are defeated, the game is over.



The survivors escape, having conquered the monsters in the cave, carrying their new, powerful artifact with them. But as they are about to escape, the Phantom appears in front of them...

"You have proved yourselves worthy...."



Basically, I had an idea to make a ton of scenarios all linked together by the same storyline, so this is the first one. My map making skills suck, and so do my scenario skills, but it was still fun to play.

My little brother plays the heroes, and I don't tell him anything about what's coming; more fun that way! He didn't know the rocks would turn into GG's, or what would appear. Muahahaha....



Anyway, the first game, he got slaughtered. The drudge instantly killed Brandis, and wore down the others enough for the GG's to finish them. We restarted, and Brandis still got taken out, but that was the only casualty.

Room two, Brandis starts with 2 wounds from second wind. He sends Denrick forward to attack both rocks. One he fails to kill, so it attacks back, dealing three wounds after an extremely long battle between them. Brandis finds the Holy Symbol, and Shiori grabs the Attack Rune. Then the Raiders pop out and kill the wounded Brandis and Denrick instantly, with Denrick taking one out right before they get him. Shiori finishes the other one, grabs the glyphs, and walks forward. I'm shaking my head at this as I add the Phantom knights, and his jaw drops. I didn't expect his luck to be that bad at that time... :p
But miraculously, Shiori kills all of them. She grabs height, and attacks with 7 attack with her glyphs.

Room 3, he sees the Phantom and thinks he can take him. He gives Brandis (Again, half wounded. Same with Denrick) the Holy Symbol and shoots him. Now, I was going to have him disappear right when he touched the shadow, but just to screw with his head, I rolled 12 defense, completely blocking it. :p He's panicking, but then he disappears and the zombies appear. He's still worried, since Brandis is out there to be attacked by them, so he sends out Denrick in front of him, hoping he's last longer. The zombies onslaught Denrick, leaving him with one life left, as Shiori moves up to grab the glyph and killing a zombie with her shurikan. The zombies split up, attack Denrick and Brandis. They kill Denrick, and miss Brandis, who then puts down his buddy with a quick arrow in the eyes. Shiori grabs the glyph (Turns out to be a +2 move. Not so helpful), and kills another zombie. After a very close fight, the zombies are vanquished.

Poor Denrick is lost forever, but the others live on, with a powerful new glyph which may turn the tide of a future battle...
