If the heroes choose to accept his aid, add Turayn to the campaign pool (any player may add him to their deck). Otherwise, mark in the campaign log that âTurayn has taken an oath of vigilanceâ (he will follow the heroesâ example and continue to protect the free folk of Wilderland).
The players discover each treasure they control.
Add A Growing Threat and each Evil Creatures enemy in play to the campaign pool.
It didn;t feel like one of their raids. It was more like an act of desperation than an attack. They've been a fair few of these Goblins and other creatures trying to sneak across the Ford recently. It's as if they're trying to get away from something up north.
"But what could be driving the Goblins and Trolls from their holes in the mountains?"
-Grimbeorn and Haldan the Woodsman

When free of encounters, the players claim the treasure and attach it to any character.
To wander off the trail in either direction was to risk becoming lost forever, and it was a long way to the other side of the forest.
Resolution: At the edge of the forest, Melanwar pledged his friendship to the heroes, moved by their altruism and their willingness to trust a stranger. If the heroes choose to invite him to join their quest, add Melanwar to the campaign pool (any player may add him to their deck). Otherwise, mark in the campaign log that âMelanwar has given you guidance on traversing Wilderlandâ (you can more safely navigate the mountains).

Otherwise, mark in the campaign log that âIsolde is on the huntâ (the dragonâs minions will pose less of a threat on your quest).
The players discover each treasure they control.
Add Abandoned Ruin to the campaign pool. The first player chooses either Threat to Wilderland or Dagnirâs Spawn and add it to the campaign pool.
The Fire-drake coughed and cackled, “Fools! When my mother learns of my death, she will set all Wilderland ablaze!”

“If that is true, then we must seek the mother before she hears of what has happened here, or else the Bardings and many more will pay the price for our victory,” said one of the companions at last.
Setup: Add The Threat to Wilderland to the staging area with X resources on it. X is the campaign cardâs part number.

The heroes had driven back the Dragon, but only after she had grown tired of hundreds of stining arrows and sword strokes. No weapon had been able to pierce Dagnir's thick armor enough to do her any real harm. When she retreated into the night, it was only because she had grown tired of smashing homes, and her fires burned low.
