[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=557449]The Cursed Idol[/color][/b][/h3]
[hr][hr][b]Objective:[/b] 
Return the Cursed Idol to the Grave it was stolen from. To do this, the Posse must find their way to the legendary Swamps of Jargano and discover the ancient Burial Ground.

[color=darkgray] You hear about alot of interesting work in the local watering holes, and today was no different. When the local Prospector hobbles in on his splint, crying and raving about how he was cursed, you are one of the few to sit up and take heed.

He says he found a portal deep in a mine, found a gate to another world. Found one or two interesting trinkets over there - oh yes, very interesting - while out on an expedition there. Found a little statue that he was sure was worth a fortune, and brought it back home with him.

Well, that was when the trouble started.

He recounts how his horse keeled over and died on the journey home, how he's been attacked by demons and beget by monsters, how his wife has fallen sick and three void twisters have spun through his town this passed fortnight alone. He begs you to take his find back to the swamp where he found it, and lay it to rest in the grave he stole it from.[/color][/center]

[indent]Heroes start in the Mine and the Posse must find a Portal to the legendary Swamps of Jargano. Once there, they must discover the Ancient Burial Ground, and work out which grave the Cursed Idol belongs to.

Holding Back the Darkness is harder on this mission. The Lanternbearer must roll 1 higher to defend against it.

Once in the swamps, the Heroes must discover the Burial Ground, where they must work out which grave to return the idol to.[/indent]

[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=6290c3]The Frozen Expedition[/color][/b][/h3]
[hr][hr][b]Objective:[/b] 
Discover what happened to the last expedition and save the town.

[color=darkgray] When a portal to the great wastes of Targa Plateu was found, the local army base decided to send an expedition through. Little survived of them, bar some interesting finds...

The frozen creatures that were brought back from that place looked like nothing anyone had seen before. It was a great step forward for science... until those ancient beings started waking up.

"Not friendly" didn't really cut it. Hostile, perhaps. Blood-thirsty...

Maybe the expedition themselves could of done something to save the Outpost but truth be told, the expedition's notes were lost and scattered in that Other Worldly grave of theirs. The monsters have turned their attention to the local Town, and you find yourself to be the last hope between them and total destruction.

Perhaps if you can find that lost research, there might just be a way to stop these creatures.[/color][/center]

[b]Reward:[/b] [b]50 XP[/b] and a possible [b]250 gp[/b] if all objectives are met, [i]per player[/i].
[b]Failure:[/b] The Heroes cannot return to Town as it is destroyed and must, instead, move directly onto the next Adventure. Each Hero takes [b]1-3 Corruption Points[/b] as they see the mangled remains of the Town they failed to save.
[center][hider=Conditions]
[b]Conditions[/b]
[indent]The Posse must find and collect 5 Lost Journal Pages in order to piece together how to save the town. 

Once they have found out what happened to the Expedition, they must [b]Travel[/b] back to town. 

Once in Town, each hero must attempt a [b]Lore[/b] test to try and stop the creatures.[/indent]

[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=c14953]Defend the Bridge[/color][/b][/h3]
[hr][hr][b]Objective:[/b] 
Prevent the monsters escaping the Mine and survive their onslaught. 

[color=darkgray]It's worse than you thought.

The local rumours don't even begin to cover the horrors that awaited you, down in this mine.

A screach in the darkness and a wave of creatures rise up from the deep, intent on freeing themselves from the mine and wreacking havoc on the local countryside. Only one thing stands in their way - you, atop this rickety bridge, the only way across a dark chasm towards the Mine exit.

You are the last hope. You must defend the bridge... or die trying.[/color][/center]

[b]Reward:[/b] 200gp and 4 Loot Cards per player.
[b]Failure:[/b] When travelling to town, add 1-6 extra Travelling Hazards to the journey. While in town, roll for daily events twice and take the lower result.

[indent]This mission has a Fixed Map.

There is no lantern on this map, instead, certain locations are well lit.

Heroes have unlimited Scavenging on all Tiles. Scavenging is never exhausted.

Unlimited Enemies - Enemies keep spawning at certain locations on the Map until the Posse has defeated enough enemies to stop their advance.

Every time enough Enemies escape the mine, the Darkness becomes stronger. If the Darkness fully escapes the mine, the heroes lose.

Heroes are experiencing Desperation. Whenever there are no monsters on their Map Tile, they may choose to either: Scavenge, Catch Their Breath, Prepare a Once Per Fight item or Recover a Determination.[/indent]

[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=c14953]Cracks in Reality[/color][/b][/h3]

[hr][hr][b]Objective:[/b] 
Fully explore the Mine to find all the Cracks in Reality and seal them, before they expand out of control.[/center]
[color=darkgray] Down in the local mines, cracks in the very fabric of space and time have been ripping people asunder! Void energy is pouring into our world and the local area is becoming corrupted. Cattle are mutating, men are being driven mad, and anarchy abounds.

The local Blacksmith begs you to help him. He believes he has crafted a set of Runes, inbued with Darkstone, that could seal these cracks once and for all. Perhaps if you can fight your way through the hordes of monsters, you might be able to save the county.[/color]

[b]Reward:[/b] 50 XP and 50 - 300gp per player.
[b]Failure:[/b] The Hotel and another building in town is destroyed.
