Scenario 7-4C1: Tales of Valor¶

Story Banes¶

Default Henchmen¶

Setup¶

When building the locations, choose a number of locations equal to the number of characters + 2 (or use the locations below as default). When preparing story banes, each character chooses two story banes of level 2 to 4, excluding Blood Pig Bout (or use the henchmen above as default). Shuffle a non-closing henchman Bardic Exaggeration-Proxy A <NEW STORY BANE> and the non-closing henchman Bardic Exaggeration-Proxy B into each location. Shuffle the Acid Mantis Queen and all chosen story banes together into a story pile.

Default Locations¶

During This Scenario¶

• When you would summon a new story bane, instead take the top card of the story pile.
• When you succeed at a check to defeat by 20 or more, gain 1 respect point (use markers to track these until the end of the scenario).
• Cards discarded as damage during an encounter are recharged instead.
• When you fail to defeat a bane, recharge your hand and draw a number of cards equal to the number recharged.
• To win, the party must gain a total number of respect points equal to twice the number of characters.
