The Flames of Khazla

Feb 212011
 

As soon as all the Warriors have entered this board section, huge stone shutters slide into place in all the doorways, forming airtight seals and blocking them in. Looking around for a means of escape, they find small alcoves in each wall, each containing a small brazier that burns without any visible supply of fuel.
The Dwarf and the Wizard recognise the braziers as ancient Dwarf artefacts, used in times long gone as a form of trial by ordeal, in order to prove his honour, the accused would plunge his arm into the magical flames. If he remained unharmed, he was proclaimed innocent and the shutters would lift. If not, the flames burnt him terribly and the shutters remained shut for a period of 72 hours. After that amount of time it was highly unlikely the accused survived. If he did, the trial was resumed…
To open the shutters and allow the party to escape, one of the Warriors must thrust his arm into each of the two braziers, making a 1D6 roll for each. If both dice score a 3, 4, 5 or 6 the shutters open and the Warriors are free to go. If either dice scores a 1 or 2 the Warrior suffers 1D6+1 Wounds, with no modifiers for Toughness or armour, and the shutters stay closed.
Each Warrior may only try to open the shutters once. If all of the Warriors fail, the whole party is trapped for the next 72 hours and is suffocated to death.

Lost

Feb 212011
 

After wandering around the dungeon for what seems likes hours with no sign of anything interesting, the Warriors realise they are lost.
Take another 1D6 Dungeon cards from those you put back in the box at the start of the game, making sure that none of them are objective rooms. Put the cards on the top of the Dungeon deck. To get back on track, the Warriors must first go through these extra cards.

Locked Door

Feb 212011
 

The next door the Warriors find is locked with a huge padlock.
If one of the Warriors has bought a set of lock picks he may try to pick it. Roll 1D6 each turn he spends doing so. On a score of 6 the padlock opens.
While picking the lock a Warrior may do nothing else. If the padlock cannot be opened the Warriors must turn back.
Draw another Event card immediately.

Trap – Lightning Bolt

Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior with the lowest score has set off a trap, causing a lightning bolt to arc from a rod in the ceiling and hit him full in the head, causing 2D6 Wounds, with no modifier for armour.
After resolving the damage on the Warrior who set off the trap, roll another 1D6. On a score of 1, 2 or 3, the lightning bolt arcs across to the next nearest Warrior (if there is any dispute, determine randomly) and hits him, causing the same amount of damage.
This process repeats until either all the Warriors have been hit, or the dice roll is a 4, 5 or 6 and the bolt earths to the ground.

Trap – Gaseous Explosion

Roll 1D6 for each Warrior. The Warrior with the lowest score has set off a trap, causing a bolt of power to shoot out from the nearest wall and paralyse him for 1D6 turns.

Once trapped by the stone block, the only way a Warrior can get free is for the other Warriors to move the block. Roll 1D6 for each Warrior who isn’t trapped by the block at the start of each turn, adding their Strengths to the total score. If the combined score is 20 or more, they manage to move the block and free their companion.

Snakes

Without warning, hundreds of snakes suddenly drop into the room through carefully concealed holes in the roof. Each Warrior is quickly covered in a writhing mass of venomous serpents.
