Roll for Wandering Monsters. See 'Monster' tab in the main navigation for tables.

2: NPC

Each is a unique encounter. Treat as Wandering Monsters if you already met that Character in any Dungeon.

1–3

SP6 / T5 / W2 – Captured by Wandering Monsters guarding her. Upon defeating them you may escort her to a city and be rewarded with 100 gold.

4–6

WS7 / T3 / W2 – Defeat her or leave the Room and shut the door within 1 Combat Round or else she teleports away with half of the hero's gold.

7–9

Roll for Wandering Monsters which are guarding him. If the Heroes manage to release him he'll become a Henchman for the current Leader. See Man-at-Arms.

10–12

Wants to join the Leader. If accepted, the Rogue serves as a Sergeant and subtracts -1 from Heroes dice roll for disarming traps. The Heroes may not attack the rogue after joining them. If the Rogue is alive at the end of the Expedition roll a dice, the Rogue:

3: Chasm

Place a Chasm tile in the room then place Wandering Monsters, a door and treasure chest on the other side of the Chasm. You have to decide:

Succeeds if you roll 1 D12 ≤ Speed.

Requires 3m rope. One Hero gets secured by the others with a rope and performs a Heroic Leap (as above). If the Hero fails the others roll ≤ STR. If they succeed they pull the Hero back, if all fail the hero is lost. It counts as 1 Move for all Heroes involved.

Requires 6m rope & 10 Iron Spikes. The Heroes build a bridge. One Hero needs to perform a Sensible Leap (as above) to build it. It takes 1 Exploration Turn.

Shut the door and try your luck elsewhere.

4: Statue

The Statue has a gigantic ruby as one eye. If any Hero tries to remove it, roll a die:

1–2	Curse The Hero's Fate Points are immediately reduced to 0.
3–6	Animated Statue WS9 / T8 / SP6 / W8 / Dam. Dice 5 Attacks the Heroes. May not leave the room.
7–11	Transformation It transforms into a Skaven Warlord. May not leave the room, but can open doors.
12	Nothing happens The Hero removes the ruby without mishap.

The Ruby is worth 400 gold crowns. If the Statue came to life it must be defeated to get the jewel.

5: Rats or Bats

Roll a dice; if the score is even you encounter rats or bats if it is odd:

The Heroes have the following choices:

Rat Poison: If you carry a vial of Rat Poison use it to clear the room (1 Exploration Turn)
Greek Fire: If you carry 2 flasks, use both to clear the room (1 Exploration Turn)
Magic: Cast Flames of Death to clear the room
Fight it out: Choose which Heroes enter the room. With every Expl. Turn each fighting Hero kills D12 rats. If the roll is 1–4 the Hero suffers 1 Wound. The swarm holds 60 Rats. Fate Points may not be used.
Slam the door: The Heroes can leave.

The Heroes have the following choices:

Screech Bug: If you carry one use it to clear the room (1 Exploration Turn). Once used, the bug is discarded.
Greek Fire: If you carry 2 flasks, use both to clear the room (1 Exploration Turn)
Magic: Cast Flames of Death to clear the room
Fight it out: Choose which Heroes enter the room. They will suffer a D12/2 (round up) Wounds which must be divided equally among them (1 Exploration Turn). Fate Points may not be used.
Slam the door: The Heroes can leave.

6: Mould

The room is filled with mould, the Heroes have 3 options how to proceed:

1 flask burns all mould (1 Exploration Turn).

The Heroes tie wet cloth across their faces and attempt to cross the room. Each player has to roll:

1	Deadly Poison – Hero dies or spends a FP
2–6	Poison – Hero looses 1 Wound or spends a FP
7–10	Irritant – Hero's WS –2 for the next combat
11–12	No effect

The Heroes can leave.

7: Mushrooms

There are D12 magic mushrooms which can be picked. Each time one is eaten roll:

Editors comment: 11 seems to be missing in the rulebook. Also it seems the result counts for all mushrooms and not for each eaten. Corrections welcome.
1–2	Deadly Poison Hero dies unless a FP or Healing Potion is spend. They may be used as Rat Poison.
3–4	Sleeping The Hero will be KO'd for D12 rounds.
5–6	Polka Dots No effect, except coloured dots in the Hero's face for some days.
7–8	Strength +1 DD with Hand-to-Hand weapons for one entire combat.
9–10	Speed Speed is doubled for one entire combat.
12	Healing Restores all Wounds.

8: Grate

The GM places the Grate tile on any square in the room. If a Hero moved to it, the room beneath reveals by rolling the Room table. It won't have any doors, but if it is a Quest Room it will have stairs down. The Heroes may lift the Grate to enter the room.

If there are monsters they are prisoners: change any specials to normal ones. They won't have weapons and roll only 1 DD. The Heroes have +2 to their surprise roll – don't add the bonus for the Elf. Per combat turn only one Hero may enter or leave the room.

The Heroes need a rope to get back up. Monster DC may be played for the upper room.

9: Pool

Roll each time someone drinks from it:

Editors comment: I assume you can use a FP to negate the Deadly Poison like in Hazard 6 (Mould) or 7 (Mushrooms).

The GM can play a Trap Counter whenever the Heroes enter a new Room, enters a square in a passage that hasn't been entered before or open a Chest (Exploration Phase only). In Solo-Play a trap gets triggered when you roll a 1 in the GM-Phase.

Spot & Disarm Rules

The Hero that triggered the trap has to roll D12 ≥ Spot Chance or it will set off. Spotted traps may be left alone. If a 12 was rolled, the Hero gets +1 to all disarm trap rolls in the future. If a 1 was rolled the Hero loses 1 extra Wound.

To open a trapped chest or move on a square where the trap was spotted (or adjacent ones) it needs to be disarmed first.

Pit Traps

If the trap was triggered roll a dice, if the result is D12 ≥ 9 take 1 Wound. The Hero must then score D12 ≤ Sp to climb out.

Other may leap over the pit with D12 ≤ Sp. If they fail repeat the routine.

Portcullis

A portcullis drops from the ceiling. The GM places the Portcullis tile in any doorway to this room (or across the room in any non-diagonal direction). All Heroes that attempt to lift it, add their Str to a D12 roll, the sum has to be ≥ 20. Each attempt takes 1 Exploration Turn. Heroes that are not lifting may roll underneath to the other side. These Heroes should then lift it for those left behind.

Poison Dart

A poison dart hits the Hero that triggered the trap. If 1 DD causes a Wound, Wounds are reduced to 0.

Fireball

Place the Fireball template on the square where the trap was set off. All models under the template suffer 5 DD of injury. For the next 3 turns (counting after GM Phase) the GM may move the template 8 squares in any direction and deal the effect again.

Crossfire

D12/4 (rounded up) crossbow bolts are hitting the Hero that triggered the trap with 3 DD for each bolt. Once triggered, the trap doesn't work anymore.

Gas

A cloud of Gas expels on the square where the trap was set off and 2 squares adjacent including diagonals in each direction. Heroes must roll: if D12 ≤ their starting Toughness the gas has no effect – subtract -1 for the inner and -2 for the outer ring from the roll. If anyone is affected roll for the gas' effect:

1–6	Mild poison: lose 1 W and for 3 turns you cannot move.
7–8	Nausea: For the rest of the expedition max. move is 8 squares (exploration), half Sp (combat), half WS & BS and -2 S.
9–10	Madness: The GM moves the Hero for 6 turns unless he can be restrained (see Mindstealer below). He may not attack other Heroes.
11	Strong Poison: The Hero takes 8 DD of injury.
12	Deadly Poison: The Hero dies unless a Healing Potion is spent.

Blocks

The Hero dodges if 1 D12 ≤ Sp was rolled and takes 3DD of injury from a glancing blow. If the result was any higher the Hero suffers full 12DD. If the trap is spotted but not disarmed the Heroes may bypass it moving half speed. It will be triggered if they ever pass this way again faster than half speed.

Mantrap

Roll 4 DD. If it causes any damage the victim will loose a limb. This may only be healed between expeditions.

Chest Trap: Loose a hand which reduces the WS by half and prohibits the Hero from using bows, two-handed weapons or spells that require more than one component.

Room/Floor Trap: Loose a leg which reduces Sp by half (round up) and prohibits the Hero from using shields or two-handed weapons. Move max. 8 squares in exploration turns.

Spike

Roll 3 DD for effect. Roll an additional D12 – if the result is ≥8 the spike is poisoned – See Poison Dart above.

Shock

A bolt of electricity causes 5 DD, if the Hero wears a metal armor (chain, plate, mithril) roll 10 DD instead.

Magic

Place magic circle template over the Hero who triggered the trap. Any model beneath it suffers the following Magic Spell.

Advanced Heroquest rulebook, page 23. Editor's Note: 'Choke' is a Dark Wizard spell described on page 55. Since there is no caster to kill to end the effect, the trap will kill the Hero if you don't spend a FP or cast Power of the Phones / Restore Life.
1–2	Inferno of Doom
3–4	Lightning Bolt (see Shock above)
5–8	Choke (Sp=1, after one turn roll, if D12 > T you die)
9–10	Flames of Death
11–12	Fireball

Mindstealer

The GM may move the victim and attack for 6 turns. Other Heroes/Henchmen may restrain the possessed one if the are in the DZ and their total Strength is 3 times higher than the victims.

Guillotine

Roll 2 DD. If it causes any damage the victim will loose a hand which reduces the WS by half and prohibits the Hero from using bows, two-handed weapons or spells that require more than one component.

Alarm

Roll on the Wandering Monsters Table.

Special Monster Rules

Taken from page 40

A berserker may choose to go berserk at the start of any combat phase and finishes when every enemy in sight is killed.

Gain 1 free attack per turn
Substract -2 WS
Always move towards the closest enemy and engage hand-to-hand
Ends at the end of combat

Able to use spells
Limited number of spells
Must use spell components to cast
If demanded need to make Intelligence tests
Type and number of spells are listed on the monster reference tables

Recovers 1 lost Wound at the beginning of each GM phase of every combat turn.

When rolling Damage Dice results ≥ T only count when you rolled at least one natural 12.

This does not apply to damage rolled as the result of a free attack or any attack made with a magical weapon.

Makes 2 hand-to-hand attacks. 2 separate DD entries show how many DD are to be rolled whenever the 1st or 2nd attack hits.

The target has to pass a Toughness test if hit. If it rolls ≥ it's Toughness, it is diseased. Every time the victim embarks on a expedition Str and T get reduced by 1. When one of these attributes reaches 0, the victim dies.

Disease may be cured between expeditions at the Healer for 100 gold.

Monsters that fly ignore Death Zones when they move.

Standing in a Fearsome Monsters DZ at the start of any combat phase the character has to make a Bravery test. If rolled ≥ Br the character may not move (unless he/she is running) or attack.

Fearsome Monsters don't affect other Fearsome Monster.

Large Monster bases measure 4 squares.
Their movement counts per square, not base-wise.
They can move through doors but may not stand partially in them.
DZ covers adjacent squares but as usual not diagonally.
They block LoS which passes the base completely.
LoS to and from a Large Monster is not blocked be normal models.

They may be increased higher by magic items, potions and so forth, but never above 12.; FP can be icreased to any level by the cost of 1000 gold per point.
New equipment: Armour and Weapons modifies the attribute points of a Hero but never the starting level of it. Modify these values on your character sheet accordingly. A hero may carry 3 Weapons but only use one at a time. It can be changes at the start of any exploration turn. Removing armour takes one exploration turn.
Spells: A wizard can only learn one new spell after each expedition.
Healing: Healing potions will restore the Hero's Wounds to the starting level at the beginning of the next turn. They can not restore a dead Hero.

Attract new Henchmen

If a Hero was able to increase FP for completing a quest, the Hero is allowed to hire a new Henchman for free.

Regardless of earned FP a Hero can hire one or more Men-at-Arms for 50 gold or Sergeants for 100 gold each.

It is possible to swap 2 Men-at-Arms for 1 Sergeant.

Once hired, Henchmen must be paid by the hero (see 'Cost of Living' above) or they leave.

Terror in the Dark changes:
Men-at-Arms are armed with Halberds and cannot be trained. Sergeants will only serve a Hero who has gained at least 1 Fate Point through completing Quests. It is no longer possible to "swap" Men-at-Arms / Sergeants.

Embark

Setting up

Create your party:

Pick the default Heroes (page 8)
create new characters (page 42–44)
or use your existing Heroes.

You start only with the items your Heroes have in their possession.

Choose Quest

You can choose to...

play a premade or own campaign
Rulebook page 39 and 51, Terror in the Dark page 51 or a White Dwarf Campaign found in the issues #121, #122, #125, #134, #138, #139, #145, #150, #159.
play a "Quick Dungeon"
Terror in the Dark, page 54
or generate a quest goal
Rulebook, page 41 or Terror in the Dark, page 40

Once these preparations are complete you are ready to embark to your expedition.

I recommend to use the (slightly modified) campaign book by Dieter De Geyter featuring all official campaigns in one document: Book of Adventures.

Starting Play

Place 1 Staircase connected to 2 Corridor Sections and 1 T-Junction on the table and place the Heroes on the staircase. All dungeons start like this.

Each Hero may perform an action (see Hero Player Phase below), when you enter the junction the Exploration phase starts.

The rulebook suggests that one player is the group leader who decides what to do if the others can't agree (optional) and one does the mapping, which will become important when you drop loot or run out of tiles and doors.

Exploration Turns

1. Hero Player Phase

Each Hero can do only 1 of the following actions each turn:

Move up to 12 squares (not diagonally)
Search for secret doors OR treasure
Remove OR equip armor

Opening a door or treasure chest does not count as an action but ends the Hero Phase and starts Exploration.

The GM may play Traps Dungeon Counter if a Hero opens a chest or enters an untrod square in a passage.

If you enter an unexplored area the Exploration Phase starts.

2. Exploration Phase

Roll the Room or Passage Table. The GM should place the tiles.
In case of a monster encounter switch to the GM Phase and then Combat Turn.

3. Gamemaster Phase

Roll a D12; if 1 or 12 was rolled draw a DC.
Play a Wandering Monsters DC.

Solo:

Roll a D12:

12: Wandering Monsters
1: Trap (choose a random Hero, roll for Traps and use the Room Table. As always: if the traps was spotted it has no effect).

Combat

Starts as soon as Monster enter the table. Start with the Surprise Roll, then Hero Phase and then the GM Phase until all Monsters are slayed or the Heroes escaped. To escape all Heroes need to be out of the LoS at the end of the GM Phase. If the LoS was blocked by closing a door there will be one more combat turn. If the Heroes kill all Monsters, they may loot their bodies according to the Monsters table.

The GM may play an Ambush DC.

Surprise Roll / Initiative

GM and 1 Hero rolls a D12; the higher roll wins

An Elven/Sentry adds +1 to the roll if they are in LoS. The winner may place the monsters as wanted, the other one may move them 1 square afterwards.

Solo Game

if the Monsters are surprised, they may be moved one square.

Hand-To-Hand Combat

Choose an adjacent target. You can't attack diagonally, except with certain long reach weapons.

1. Hit Roll

See 'Target WPN Skill' on your character sheet and determine your required 'Hit Roll'.

Critical hit; grants a free additional attack
Fumble; grants the target a free attack

2. Wound Roll

If the Hit Roll was successful roll as many D12 Dam. Dice as your weapon allows. Every dice ≥ T of the enemy inflicts a Wound.

12: Critical Damage: inflicts 1 Wound and you may roll one additional Damage Dice.

Ranged Combat

Not possible while standing in a Death Zone. Target has to be in Line of Sight.

1. Hit Roll

See 'Range' on your character sheet and determine your required 'Hit Roll'. Range may not be counted diagonally.

Critical hit; Target has ½T (rounded down).
Fumble; If an ally is within 2 squares of the target, you hit your ally.

Collect arrows: in the End-Phase you may roll for every projectile fired: ≥ 10 arrow retrieved, ≥7 every other projectile.

1. Hero Phase

Players may decide which Hero starts
Move equal to the Speed & then attack or open a door or run.
If an unexplored area is entered the new sections are generated at the end of the hero phase.

2. Gamemaster Phase

Move equal to the Speed & attack or run.
Instead of attacking Sentries may open doors adjacent to them to generate new sections at the end of the GM Phase.
Fate Point and Escape Dungeon Counter may be played any time during a combat turn, Ambush only at the start (page 25)

Solo Game

Roll a D12; if it's a 1 roll for Wandering Monsters. All Monsters perform a move & attack in this round.

3. End Phase

Upon victory or defeat.

Bodies may be looted (gold + magic items, see 'Monster' tab). If the Heroes have escaped all bodies disappear.
Collect arrows (see Ranged Combat above)
Choose new Leader (optional)
Continue with a new Exploration Phase

Gameplay mechanics & FAQ

Move as many squares as defined by the Heroes/Monsters Speed attribute (not diagonally, not through another model).

Run: Move equal to the Speed value + D12 (1 = you stumble and may not move extra squares). You may not open or close doors while running

If you enter a Death Zone of a monster that is not already engaged, movement stops. You may leave the DZ at the beginning of the next move.

Squares adjacent to a model (not diagonally, except for certain long reach weapons)

Passing through an enemies DZ stops movement and can only be continued in the next round.
If one square of a models death zone is already focused, the other squares can be passed.
Being in a DZ you cannot open or close doors and chests or cast Flames of the Phoenix.

A model may run instead of making an attack. First move, as usual, as many squares as the number of your Speed attribute. Then add 1 D12 squares to your move. If you rolled a 1 you stumble and your move stops.

When running you cannot open/close doors.

Editors Note: Normally entering an unoccupied DZ stops movement. This is not mentioned in the running rule though.

See page 18

Monsters may pursue escaping Heroes.

They should be Running until they can reach the Heroes with a normal move and attack.
Instead of making an attack they may open doors.
When all monsters can reach the Heroes and attack Pursuit ends, switch back to normal turns.

To Escape all Heroes need to be out of the LoS at the end of the GM Phase. If the LoS was blocked by closing a door there will be one more combat turn.

If the Heroes escaped, the remaining monsters will return to their their place wich should be noted on the map. If the Heroes return on a later expedition, the monsters grow back to full number.

See page 18

Each part of a quest is accomplished over one or more Expeditions. It begins as soon as the Heroes are placed on the first stairway section and end when the last surviving one ascends a stairway that leads out of the dungeon.

Keep track of how many expeditions each hero has been on during a quest, as it decides how many Fate Points you will gain after a Quest Treasure was recovered (see Between Expeditions tab).

See page 35

May be played only by the Gamemaster. See page 25 in the rulebook for more.

Wandering Monsters – Play at the end of the Exploration Phase
Ambush – Play at the start of any combat turn
Fate Point, Escape – Play any time during a combat turn
Character Counter – Play any time when placing monsters
Trap – If a Hero opens a chest or steps on a square that has not been entered before

Fate Points may not be passed. Can be used to:

Negate all damage suffered in a turn,
convert a failed dice roll into a successful one (i.e. hit rolls, ability checks, ...),
to negate the effects of poison.

Monster and Henchmen are killed when Wounds score 0 or below.
Heroes are K.O. when the wounds score 0 and die when it falls any lower
- When K.O. place the model on it's side. It is unable to act but can defend with a WS 1 if attacked.
- An adjacent Hero can drag the vicim 3 squares instead of moving normally.
- A KO'd Hero can be healed by a Heal Spell or with a Healing Potion given by any Hero or Henchman adjacent - as long as neither character is in an opponents Death Zone
- It can be also carried in the Exploration Phase for 6 squares per turn.

See page 21

You have Line of Sight (LoS) when you can draw a straight line from the middle of the viewers square to the middle of the targets square. It may be blocked though.

Blocked by walls and doors
Blocked by open doors unless the target or attacker stands on an adjacent square of the doorway
Blocked by other models unless it's a friendly character adjacent to the target

Special Rule: Partially obscured

If it is hard to determine if the target is in LoS, it's probably harder to hit: Treat range as if it is 4 squares greater.

See page 20

Keep track of how many expeditions each hero has been on during a quest, as it decides how many Fate Points you will gain after a Quest Treasure was recovered (see Between Expeditions tab).

Magic

Wizards

Wizards cannot wear any armor or weapon other than a dagger. They are the only ones though that can use Scrolls, Wands or equip a Rune Sword. Terror in the Dark also adds certain Jewels, Cloaks, Robes and more Rune Swords for the Wizard.

When you start a new game pick 4 spells from the Spell Book (see Magic tab) and enough spell components for 4 spells.

A spellcaster may cast 1 spell per combat or exploration turn. Components are required to cast a spell and instantly consumed once the spell is cast. Components may be bought between Expeditions.

If the spell requires 1 component, the wizard can move and cast a spell, if it requires 2 components though, the wizard can only cast.

Intelligence Test

Once required roll a dice: D12 ≤ Int = success. If failed a Fate Point may be used to convert the result into success.
