It has been a long day of travel...

However, you're finally out of the thick of the forest
and fast on your way to Arhynn, as the last signs of the
sun disappear on the horizon. Luckily, the chimney of
a big old structure looms over the trees in the distance.
It's the Meat and Mead Inn! Located just half a day's
walk west of Arhynn, many adventurers spend the
night here on their way out or into the city.

A spirited conversation sparks as you all remember
tales of nights spent at the inn. Drunken brawls and
songs of valor, you have been regular customers back
then. The banter between you suddenly comes to a
halt, as you enter the courtyard and realize the
complete silence around you.

The inn is dark and lifeless. You feel like someone is
watching, as you slowly approach the building. The
leaves above your head gently move, was that just a
breeze or was it something else?

Suddenly you hear a branch snapping and someone
yells "Ambuuush!". Goblins pour out from every side!

"Draw your weapons, defend yourselves!"

"Run for the inn!"

Mon s t e rs

Goblin archers . Zombies . 1 open group.

S e t up

Heroes place their figures on the Courtyard in the
unique s paces marked with an "X."

Place the goblin archers on either the entrance or the
overgrown garden divided as the Overlord wis hes .

The zombies and the open group are not placed
during s etup.

Place s earch tokens bas ed on the number of heroes .

S p e c ia l R ul e s

A m b u s h !

Before the heroes  take their firs t turn the Overlord
activates  a number of goblin archers  equal to the
number of heroes . After this  play proceeds  normally.

T h e I nn

The inn door may only be open and clos ed by heroes .
Once the inn door is opened for the firs t time the
Overlord places 1 mas ter zombie and 1 minion
zombie on the inn (not adjacent to the door), than read
the following:

"Breathing heavily you barge into the gloom of the inn.
You can hear the goblins getting closer, however
something stirrs in the darkness. Horrified you see
Gerald, the fat inn owner and his wife Muriel coming
towards you, thier faces white as snow and their dead
hungering eyes."

The mas ter zombie is  Gerald and has  +2 Health per
hero, the minion zombie is  Muriel and has  +1 Health
per hero. The door to the cellar is  locked and Gerald
has  the key. Once Gelard is  defeated the heroes  have
the key and may open and clos e the door to the cellar
entrance. Then read the following:

"A final blow to the head and the fat corpse finally
stops moving, but a scream from somewhere below
doesn't give you a pause - you grab the keys and head
down to the cellar as quickly as you can!"

Bar r i c ad e

If all heroes are ins ide the inn a hero may s p e nd a n

T h e C e llar

Heroes  may exit the map at the cellar entrance for 1
movement point and place their figures  on one of the
"X" marked locations  on the cellar s tairs . Once the
cellar door is  opened the Overlord places  the open
group on the cellar s tairs .

The chamber door may be attacked by mons ters  and
has  15 Health, but rolls  no defens e die. Heroes  may
open and clos e the chamber door as  normal. When the
chamber door is  opened for the firs t time (or
detroyed) Ariel joins  the heroes  and the goblin archers
become active again. Then read the following:

"You enter a room unlike any you have ever seen,
potions, books and scrolls everywhere, magic teaming
in the air. At the center a young woman stands trying to
put on a brave face. Seems the monsters where trying
to get her. "Quick" she says, pointing to a trap-door
on the ceiling."

Arie l

Speed - 4 Health - 8

Defens e - 1 Gray

Ariel cannot attack and cannot s uffer fatigue to move.

Ariel acts  las t, after all heroes , and is  controlled by the
las t hero to play. She is  cons idered a hero, but has  no
attribues  and fails  all checks .

Se c r e t P as s age

Heroes may s pend 1 movement point and move
between the blue ques t markers as if they are adjacent
only after they have entered the s ecret chamber.

archer on the overgrown garden and 1 on the entrance
igno ring

igno ring group limits .

V ic t ory

If Ariel leaves the map through the entrance read the
following:

"In the distance you can still hear them, but surely they
will not catch you now with the outpost in sight. You
realize that person you just met is little more than a
girl.

When you finally reach the outpost she tells you her
name and insists you must press on to Arhynn tonight.
"We must find uncle, we must find uncle..." she keeps
saying."

Heroes win this ques t!

If Ariel is knocked out s he is fatally wounded, read the
following:

"The monster's delight was great as Ariel collapsed.
Sensing their job was done, the minions dispersed as
quickly as they have appeared. You feel awful that you
couldn't protect her as she must have been important
somehow.

As you kneel to her there's the slightest movement,
quickly you check her pulse - she still hangs on! Maybe
there's hope yet, if you can get her to Arhynn before
dawn..."

The Overlord wins this ques t!

R e w a rd s

Both the heroes and the Overlord gain 1 XP.
