Day
4
Dragons
appear on the board! The Amazon slips past the Ax Goblins and avoids
an arriving Heavy Dragon that blocks the Witch King on his way through
the tile. The Captain and his hirelings put on the brakes and return
to the Hoard, attracting the Tremendous Flying Dragon. Fortunately
they are all hidden and the Dragon flies off to block the Witch
when she lands in Ledges after a ride on her Broomstick. The Druid
enchants Deep Woods, changing the paths and confounding the orders
of the other characters in Deep Woods. The Berserker appears confused
by the shifting paths, but manages to exit Deep Woods into the safety
of Curst Valley. The Elf, heading for High Pass, fails to hide,
bumps into a newly-relocated enchanted tree, and attracts the two
Heavy Flying Dragons that block him, the Druid, and the Black Knight.
The Wizard arrives at the Chapel, but quarrels with the Knights
of the Order who gather together on their horses to give battle
to the peace-loving old man. The White Knight finds a secret passage
to the legendary Pool.
By
evening, characters are faced off against Dragons and quarrelsome
natives all over the board.
In
combat, the characters improve their battle averages against the
hapless Dragons. The Wizard beats a hasty retreat away from the
Chapel with the Knights of the Order, incensed by the old guy's
misguided attempts at humor, in hot pursuit. The Witch King deftly
pops a Black chit to transform back into a Tremendous Giant, who
beats the hell out of the Heavy Dragon. In Deep Woods 2, the Druid,
Elf, and Black Knight face off against the two Heavy Flying Dragons.
Final score: Characters 2, Dragons 0. And in Ledges 5, the Witch
absorbs the Tremendous Flying Dragon and, in an enormous rustle
of wings and cloud of smoke, flies away out of the clearing.
