I have just finished Rise of the Runelords.

What order do the remiaing sets go in?

From the post above (from Parody) is it: Skull and Shackles, Wrath of the Righteous, and Mummy's Mask. Then after that the Core Set and Curse of the Crimson Throne? As I have the Runelords Base Set would I also need the Core Set?

I am just about to start Here Comes the Flood but am confused about how to deal with the villain, Black Magga. The scenario text says that if the number of allies under this card is greater than the number under Black Magga you win the scenario but Black Magga has a combat value. Do you need to fight Black Magga and, if so, when do you fight?

If your friend was right, it would have clearly said the second part was for any check. Sounds like he's trying to nitpick the wording (and unsuccessfully so) to benefit where it shouldn't.

Thanks, that's what I thought!

The Crowbar text says "Reveal this card to add 1 die to YOUR noncombat Strength check or check to defeat a barrier ....etc"

My belief is that the card should be understood as "YOUR noncombat Strength check or YOUR check to defeat a barrier ....etc" because this is grammatically correct.

Perhaps the use of a comma in the actual text after YOUR might have helped clarify this - but as it reads to me it is quite clear what the intention is)

A friend argues that the second part refers to ANYONE'S check...."

Has anyone come across this problem before?

In Hook Mountain Massacre the scenario Here Comes the Flood says "Place the villain Black Magga next to the blessings deck. Shuffle all of the cards in the Henchmen list into a single stack and deal 3 into each location deck.

At the start of each turn select a random location deck and out its bottom 1d4 cards face down under Black Magga without looking at them.

When you acquire an ally place it under this card (the Here Comes the Flood card)

When there are no cards in the blessings deck if the number of allies under this card is at least equal to the number of allies under Black Magga you win the scenario".

My questions: 1) Must we close the locations as normal or is this optional? 2)What happens if all the location cards run out before the blessings deck. Do we just proceed to game end as above? 3) Do we need to fight Black Magga or do we just win/lose depending upon the number of allied? If we don't need to fight why does BM have a combat value? If we do need to fight does this happen after the ally numbers check or before?
