model , and the warriors starting equipment : the Lantern
or the Barbarian, the Rope or the Dwar , the Healing Potion
orthe El and the Hand of Death Scroll or the Wizard.
Each player rolls their Starting Wounds (their maximum or
thegame) and writes the number on their Record. A 1 may be
rolledagain, but the second result must be kept.
The Wizard shu fes the Spell cards into their 3 decks ( Attack
,De ense and Healing ) and chooses 1 card randomly rom eachdeck.
Then roll D6 and take that many Power Tokens . A 1 maybe rolled
again, but the second result must be kept.
Sort the board sections into 3 piles: dungeon rooms , objectives
and corridors . Take the 3 card decks ( Dungeon , Event andTreasure

each deck and place them ace down on the table.
Pick 1 objective room card at random; the rest are not used.Roll
D6 to select an adventure rom among those eaturing thatroom in the
Adventure Book .
Draw 6 Dungeon cards and shu fe in the objective room card,then
deal 6 more Dungeon cards on top o these. The remainingDungeon
cards are not used.
Turn the top card rom this 13 card Dungeon deck and placethe
corresponding board section in the middle o the table withthe
doorways attached as indicated. Place the leader modelon any square
and the rest on the board, on any square, inInitiative order rom

SeQueNCe Of play
1. Power PhaseThe Wizard rolls or his Power level that turn.
UnexpectedEvents may occur.
2. Warriors PhaseWarriors can move, ght monsters, and
explore.
3. Monsters PhaseMonsters on the board may move and ght.
4. Exploration PhaseWarriors may try to see what is beyond an
unexplored doorway.
1. pOwer phaSe
Wizards PowerThe Wizard player rolls 1D6 to determine his Power
level or theturn, indicating it with a small red die in the Current
Power boxon his card. At the end o a turn any used Power is
lost.
Unexpected EventsIf the Wizard player rolls a 1, turn over the
top card of the Eventdeck and ollow the instructions. I the Wizard
is dead, anotherplayer rolls this die to see i there is an
Event.
Events (E) are resolved immediately.
Monsters (M) mean the warriors have been attacked: take
theindicated number o monsters and put them on the board.
Placing MonstersThe rst time monsters appear the leader places
them; then theplayer to his right, and so on.
A group of monsters must always be shared equally as
possibleamong the warriors. Position each model acing the warrior
it isattacking. Di erent types o monsters must be shared evenly
aswell. I there are monsters that cannot be divided equally,
drawWarrior counters randomly to allocate them. I there are no
spacesle t next to warriors, place remaining ones as close as
possible onempty spaces on the same or an adjacent board
section.
I the warriors have split up onto di erent board sections, drawa
Warrior counter to determine where the monsters appear and
place them on that board section.Monsters armed with missile
weapons are placed as ar awayas possible rom the warriors on the
same or adjoining section,but still able to see their target.
Models with missile weaponscan only shoot at targets to which they
have line of sight (LOS).Determine LOS by drawing a line between
the centres o the
rers and targets squares i this passes through a wall, theLOS is
blocked. Monsters and warriors do not block LOS.
2. warriOrS' phaSe
Beginning with the Warrior and followed by the Elf, Wizard
andDwarf (leader ollowed by descending Initiative order),
eachplayer takes a turn.
I the players are missing the Barbarian, one o the other
warriorsmust carry the lantern and be the party leader. I the
Barbarianis killed another warrior takes it and b ecomes the
leader.
The lantern illuminates the section the leader is on and all
adjacent sections. Any warrior moving beyond this is lost
andremoved rom the game.
Moving and FightingA warrior may move a number o squares in any
direction up tohis Move (M), and then attack a monster in an
adjacent square.He may not move through another model or obstacle,
and maynot move diagonally between squares i one o the
adjacentsquares between them is a wall.
Warriors must halt when they move next to a doorway that leadsto
another section. When a warrior moves onto a new section orthe rst
time and completes his movement, his turn ends. Thewarriors may
leave the dungeon via the entrance i they wish.
A warrior may not ght a monster in an adjacent square and shoot
at it in the same turn.
PinningA warrior is pinned and may not move i there is a monster
inan adjacent square at the start o the Warriors phase. A
warriormay not use a missile weapon while pinned. He may
howeverturn to ace any direction.
To escape rom pinning and move normally a warrior must roll adie
and score at least his pinning value (only one roll is requiredno
matter the number o pinning monsters).
3. MONSterS' phaSe
When a new dungeon room (objective rooms have special rules)is
entered or the frst time, draw a card rom the Event deck .
Events (E) are resolved immediately. I monsters (M) arerevealed,
take the indicated number o monsters and put themin the room (even
i the warriors are split up).
I there is not enough space, le tover monsters may be placedin
adjoining board sections. Share monsters equally amongwarriors as
usual.
Once they have been placed, their turn is over and they
cannotmove or ght until the Monsters phase o the next turn.Monsters
placed in the Power phase o the current turn canmove and ght,
however.
Moving and FightingMonsters always attack the warriors.
i pinned, a monster stays where it is and ghts.
i it has a missile weapon and can see a target, it shoots.
i it has a missile weapon but cannot see a target, it moves
tosee one and then shoots.
i it does not have a missile weapon or has one but cannotmove to
see a target, it moves toward a warrior, and attackshim i it
can.
Monsters move and attack by dividing up among the warriorsas
equally as possible, the same as or initial placement. Theymove in
the same way as warriors and are pinned in the sameway, but cannot
escape rom pinning.
The First Attack RuleMonsters placed to attack a warrior will
always try to ght thatwarrior when they make their frst attack. I
the warrior hasmoved away, the monster will ollow and attack i it
possiblycan. Once this rst turn is over, the normal rules are used
ordetermining who a monster attacks.
4. explOratiON phaSe
Only the leader can explore, and only i there are no monsterson
the board section the leader is on, and the leader is next to
adoorway leading to an unknown part o the dungeon.
The leader player declares he is exploring and takes the topcard
o the Dungeon deck . Take the appropriate board sectionand clip it
to the doorway. Warriors are not obligated to enterthe new
section.
Dividing WaysI you nd a T-junction, place it as normal, then
divide theDungeon deck, dealing out one card at a time to each
corridor
rom the bottom o the deck until you have 2 separate decks.I the
warriors run out o cards or reach the end o one routewithout nding
the Objective room, they must retrace theirsteps or abandon their
quest.
COMbat
Combat may last several turns; work through the Power,
Warriorsand Monsters phases as normal until the monsters are
killed.
Hand-to-Hand Combat
A model may ght any opponent in an adjacent square; turn
themodels to ace each other.
I a model has multiple Attacks (A) he may strike several timesin
a turn. A warrior may split the atacks between 2 or moreenemies. A
monster must use all o them against one warrior.
Roll 1D6 and score equal or over the number shown on themodels
combat table versus the enemys WS.
I the strike is a hit, roll 1D6 and add the attackers Strength
.Some weapons and monsters cause extra damage.
ShootingA model with a missile weapon may only shoot i he is
notadjacent to (and there ore not pinned by) an enemy. He musthave
LOS to the target and can only shoot once a turn.
Roll 1D6 and score equal or over the models Ballistic Skill
(BS)value, or the value on the monsters Event card.
I the shot is a hit, work out Wounds the same way as or
hand-to-hand combat, but use the Strength o the weapon .
When more than one monster shoots, work out how many hitsthere
are be ore dividing them equally amongst eligible targets,drawing
warrior counters or any odd hits.
Death and UnconsciousnessWhen a monster is killed remove it rom
the board and placeit on the Adventure Record sheet o the warrior
who slew it.Record Wounds on monsters still alive by using a small
die nextto the model.
When a warriors Wounds are reduced to 0 he is unconscious ;place
the model on its side. I he is not healed by the end o
that turn, he dies and the player is out o the game.DeathblowI a
warrior kills a monster with a single blow and there is
anothermonster standing adjacent to it and still in attack range,
roll tohit and wound the second monster as normal. I it is killed
theblow can carry on to another monster, and so on.
SpellCaStiNg
The Wizard may cast any o his spells any time in a turn
byexpending Power equal to the spells Casting Number.
Attack spells can only be cast during the Warriors phase
(buteven during another players turn). You may never interrupt ahit
however.
A Wizards Power Tokens can be used or extra Power, but onceused
they are gone or the rest o the game.

Warriors can also nd and use Treasure cards during the
game.Armour, a shield or weapons can be used immediately. Armouror
weapons cannot be lent to other warriors, but they canbe given to
other warriors at the end o a turn i there are nomonsters on the
