WAR ON GOBLINS

The goblins of the Wasteland are a constant danger to the struggling survivors living on the outskirts of the Würstreich. The people of Gutfish Ford & the outlaws scattered throughout the Eastern Foothills live under constant threat of goblin raids, vandalism & thievery. The goblins are far too numerous to challenge in open warfare & so you must infiltrate their lands to sow chaos & confusion in their ranks to stem the relentless tides of goblin aggression.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES

With poison, sabotage & trickery, you can gradually bring the goblin war machine to a grinding halt.

During this mission, there are various ways you can reduce the Danger Level at the Goblin Fortress, as described below.

Poison the Well

When you Rest at Last Chance or the Goblin Fortress while the Goblin Fortress has a Danger Level, you may discard a Vial of Poison to reduce the Danger Level at the Goblin Fortress.

Blow the Bridge

When you Rest in Bold č stance at Skull Bridge, if you have Decay Mastery or Shockwave Mastery, you may attempt to use your magic to damage the bridge as a Rest Action. Place {MAG Test} Wound Č counters on Skull Bridge. If you fail, you become Fatigued & Weakened.

When you Rest in Bold č stance at Skull Bridge, if you have Daemon's Blood, you may discard it to place D3-1 Wound Č counters on Skull Bridge.

If there are 6 or more Wounds Č on Skull Bridge, remove them & place a Destroyed Ĝ counter there.

If Skull Bridge is Destroyed Ĝ while the Goblin Fortress has a Danger Level, reduce the Danger Level at the Goblin Fortress.

Contaminate Provisions

When you Trade with the Goblin Merchant, or Drink with the Scrag Milker, you may slip contaminated provisions in with their goods. You may sell them any number of Food Items. When you do, you may reduce the Danger Level at the Goblin Fortress if you have a Disease or if you discard a Vial of Poison.

Reinforce the Border

When you Invest at Gutfish Ford or the Watchtower while there is a faceup Clue Ġ counter in your space, you may reduce the Danger Level at the Goblin Fortress, then remove that Clue Ġ counter.

Once both Clue Ġ 1 & 2 have been removed from the board, the Fighter, Hunter, or Militant in the party with the highest MRL may take the Warleader Triumph card.

REWARD

Each adventurer gains 1 Luck Ğ. Then, remove 2 red Doom ğ counters from the Doom Track. Increase the Town Level at Gutfish Ford & Pigskin Port & if the Goblin Blitzkreig (Doom card) is in play, discard it.
