The scenario is complete when the Seeker of Xorn ends their turn adjacent to the altar after the staff is fully charged. If the Seeker of Xorn becomes exhausted, the scenario is lost. Conclusion : You place the Staff of Xorn onto the altar, and its power is sucked into the stone in a vortex of green light. The vortex grows, swallowing all of your remaining adversaries. Suddenly a voice echoes through the palace: “You have returned my power, but that is not enough. I will take this body as my vessel!” The vortex condenses into a sphere that hits the Seeker in the chest faster than you can react. The Seeker falls to the ground dead. You rush to the corpse, only to find horrendous insects bursting out of its skin. You step back in horror as the grotesque insect horde arises and speaks. “I am reborn! The plague walks the earth once more!” a
Traveling high into the Copperneck Mountains, you realize you should have packed some warmer clothes. The weather gets worse the higher you climb, and you feel frozen through by the time you finally arrive at your destination. Still, the hard road to the peak was worth all the trouble. An overwhelming sight stands before you: a giant crystalline structure composed of icy filigree rests atop the mountain. Once inside, your wildest imaginations could not compare to the beautiful architecture that surrounds you. Natural crevasses, solid frozen lakes, and stalagmites are paired with Savvas-built pillars, mural carvings, and ice domes spanning overhead. Despite all of this, however, there is a foulness in the air. A green mist clings to the floor and walls as you venture farther, and the Staff of Xorn seems to pulse dimly with energy. The pulses grow stronger as you enter a long hallway, and you see a group of large animals appear from behind an ice formation. Underneath matted fur, you catch glimpses of bones and rotten flesh. Something is not right about these bears. Special Rules : All Cave Bears add POISON to all their attacks. 1 In the main room, a large altar sits near the far wall. Many creatures have gathered here to protect it, however. Foremost among them is a group of Harrower warriors. The staff pulses even stronger the closer you get to them. It seems to hunger for their energy— to consume them and take their power for itself. Special Rules : Only the character equipped with the Staff of Xorn can inflict damage on the Harrower Infesters. For each point of damage inflicted on the Harrower Infesters, place a damage token on the Staff of Xorn card as well. When there are 2xCx(L+1) tokens on the item card, the Staff of Xorn is fully charged.
