The 2017 Campaign
The Kingdom of Scaria
It has been 20 years since the Lich King
War ended. A young queen now sits on the
throne of Scaria. She inherited a country in
pieces, and though she has ruled wisely and
improved the land, the evil let loose by the
Lich King is still strong. Most people huddle
within the walls of the few cities, especially
Haven.
Something is coming. Everyone feels it.
Heroes ride out on strange quests at the
behest of the queen and her advisors,
collecting artifacts for some Great Purpose.
Rumors abound that soon all the heroes of
the realm will be needed, united, to defend
all the people of Scaria...
Game Overview
Players will begin in Haven and then be hired by townsfolk
to pursue quests: some short, some long. It is doubtful that
any group will find time to run through all the quests in an
evening. At midnight, join us for a special all-heroes quest.
All players will begin 2017 Quest Night at Level 1, with
chances to level up during the evening.
If you have a character from previous Quest Nights, you
will play one of your own descendants: your past character
retired and gave his or her equipment to your new
character.
If you are a new player, you will begin with a standard
equipment list, plus any additional gear you buy.

Combat Timing
Melee Combat
The adventuring party will come into
contact with a variety of people and
monsters, perhaps even other players.
Not all people or monsters are
necessarily ENEMIES. But sometimes,
conflict is inevitable. At some point,
a Game Master (GM) will declare that
COMBAT has begun.
Announce your target before you roll.
Combat takes place on a special table,
using oversized d20 and d6 dice.
Empty your pouch into the bowl on
the table when combat begins.
If either of the dice hits a wall and
then lands touching the golden area,
add +1 to that die. GM ruling is final!
The d20 indicates hit or miss. The
roll needed to hit a monster will be
printed on the combat table.
The d6 indicates the damage dealt.
The Combat Table
+1 to any die on
gold if it bounces
off an edge first.
The order of combat is called
INITIATIVE. In most cases, the enemy
will get the initiative and attack first.
Player initiative by default is:
Rogue >> Warrior >> Mage >> Cleric
(or the related elite classes)
Players may opt to change order, but
we don’t recommend it. Players stand
at the table left to right in initiative
order.
+1
What action a player takes is based
on his or her class. Some actions
are automatic, like the Cleric’s Heal
ability. All ATTACK actions require
rolling. Attacks with spells or tokens
are magical. Attacks with weapons
(including Mage’s staff) are physical
(non-magical).
+0
10
A natural 20 also adds +1 to damage!
Combat is divided into ACTIONS by
each player and each enemy. Each
player gets one action per round.
Enemies usually only get one action
per round, but some enemies are
slow... others are really fast.
Any attack must roll the dice. Both
dice must be rolled at the same time,
for each attack, even for attacks that
auto-hit or do auto-damage.
If the dice leave the table, you lose
your action! (GM may warn once.)
Combat
Additional Combat Info
Only Mages and Battlemages can Cast
spells from their books. Each spell
may be Cast only once per combat per
copy of the spell.
Any player can use any TOKEN.
♦ BUFF tokens do not use up a
player’s action for that aound.
Ex: a Warrior can use a +1 To Hit
token and still attack that round.
♦ SPELL tokens use up a player’s
action for that round. Example: a
Warrior cannot Block and use a
Heal token in the same turn.
Buff tokens are yellow!
Spell tokens are red or blue!
Tokens can be used only once; they
are taken by the GM when used. Buff
token bonuses stack together.
All spells and tokens are auto-hit,
meaning they cannot miss their target
(but you still need to roll both dice).
Red damages or heals.
Blue helps in other ways.
After combat, any live player can use
a RESURRECTION SCROLL to revive
a dead player to full health (GM will
take the scroll). Without a scroll,
Death comes...
Resurrection
Above all else...
Always listen
to your
Game Masters!
Once you were dead,
But now you are not.
Thanks to this scroll
You avoid rot!
Cast at end of a combat encounter
to bring one dead player back to full health.
