Regeneration
day. Purple magic all over the board turns the Witch King into Mist,
and the Bats and Ghosts come back to life. The Witch drops by the
Guard house, where the the relieved Escort Party pay her off and
complain to the Food/Ale guys about their trip, and then heads off
to Deep Woods where she is reunited with her familiar and the Soldiers.
The Captain lingers on at the Guard house after dropping off the
Food/Ale guys and buys some Reflecting Grease from the Guard, but
they do not jump at his off-hand offer of employment. The Amazon
completes an epic full-board gallop on her pony right into the clearing
with the Tremendous Troll and Tremendous Giant, who immediately
block her. But they do not notice the White Knight who has slipped
into the clearing with his Great Sword alerted. The Pilgrim decides
against entering High Pass through the caves and moves around toward
the mountain entrance, where the Wizard is creeping closer to the
Tremendous Spider at the Cairns. The Black Knight travels confidently
through the woods on his new horse, the Druid stops in a woods clearing
to enchant up some more Grey magic, and the Elf lays in ambush for
something at the Statue, but leaves the tips of his pointy shoes
in plain sight.
In
combat by this stage of the game, the monsters are mere playthings
for teams of characters, as the White Knight and Amazon finish off
the Tremendous Troll and Tremendous Giant, but the Amazon's faithful
pony dies in the struggle. A change of weather finishes the day
as the Purple magic vanishes and cool air blows in.
