Special Rules

Because the Lich Lord is such a powerful wizard and all of the creatures on the board are either directly or indirectly under his control, it is suggested that an additional player be recruited to take on his role in this final scenario. Assuming that is not possible, creatures follow the normal rules for creature actions, with the following exceptions:

• The Lich Lord has a hierarchy of actions he will attempt to perform on every turn (see p.60).

• Any other creature will always move towards the closest member of any warband that is in line-of-sight, regardless of distance.

• If no warband member is in line-of-sight, the creature will make a single move in the direction of the nearest warband member, taking the quickest path to reach that figure.

• The wraith knights will not move until the first member of any warband gets within 12” of the long wall, at which point they will follow the same rules as other creatures in this scenario.

As the board represents a slab of earth that is floating above the city, figures are only permitted to exit the board by the great chains in each corner – from any edge within 8” of a corner point. They may exit via the corners on either end of the long wall only if the Lich Lord has been destroyed.

Unlike a normal game of Frostgrave, it is possible to be forced off the board by being pushed back in combat. This is the only way to involuntarily exit the board. Should this happen, any figure is treated as killed for the purposes of the game. In a campaign, any soldier or creature that falls off the board is also killed in the campaign with no post-game roll necessary. If a wizard or apprentice falls off the board, the player should roll on the survival table after the game, but any result other than ‘dead’ counts as a permanent injury, and a roll on the permanent injury table should be made as normal. Any figure that is pushed off the table while wearing a Ring of Slow Fall is out of the game, but otherwise unharmed.

If, at any point, the Lich Lord is killed, start a countdown at the end of the turn. The turn on which the Lich Lord was killed is 10, the end of the next turn is 9, and so on. When the countdown hits zero, the magic that is holding the castle in the air fails and it plummets to earth. Any figure still on the board at that point is treated as killed and subject to the same rules as a figure pushed off the board.

Treasure and Experience

Every treasure token recovered in this scenario is worth an extra 30gc in additional to whatever is rolled on the treasure table. Also, players may choose to roll on the Lich Lord treasure table for any, all, or none of their treasures (as opposed to the one roll that is normally allowed). Finally, a player
