BIMR4 Magic Realm
Info

Day 5

Monsters swarm over the board again. While the Sorceror stays behind resting up his magic, the Swordsman, Black Knight, and Berserker set off on a journey and run into Ogres that block the Black Knight. The Swordsman and Berserker are hidden in the woods watching the encounter. Over in Cavern, the Dwarf, Captain, and GHQ try to loot the Statue. The Captain pulls out and dons the Elusive Cloak, but his exclamation of delight is a little too loud and draws 12 prowling Goblins who block him, GHQ, the Dwarf, and the Wizard when he arrives from the Guardhouse after resting a Magic chit. In Borderlands, the Pilgrim and White Knight finally locate the Altar and the Pilgrim draws out a treasure. The Witch King moves away from the uncertain companionship at the Small Campfire to rest and prepare color magic.

In combat, the Swordsman and Berserker unleash their army of hired Rogues against the Ogres who are quickly eliminated in one round. Over in the Cavern, the Wizard launches a Fiery Blast to kill four Goblins and, while the Captain uses his new Elusive Cloak to elude the attacking Goblins, the Wizard picks off another four with his staff. The Dwarf and the Captain clean up the rest with their axes and with the cold steel of the Captain's dagger. Off by himself, the Witch King creates a Phantasm to move and search on Day 6 and casts "World Fades" on himself.
