1989 Kellar's Keep UK/AUS Milton Bradley/Games Workshop contents:
one quest book (28 pages including front and back cover...strange page count) with minions of Morcar painting on back (an edited Warhammer painting removing skaven, beastmen, and dark elves but curiously keeping snotlings not found in basic HeroQuest likely because they were in front of another monster and not easily edited.)
17 Figures in dark olive green hard plastic with extra lip step on the bases.
8 orcs (one boss orc with notched scimitar, two with flails, three with scimitars, two with cleavers)

30 single sided carboard tiles or door pieces (one Grin's crag walkway, four two-stair halls, two three-stair halls, two pits, two trap doors, one stone boulder sphere, one forge, one magical darkness,
two doors( interestingly, the folding door tiles are wood on one side and iron on the other, an error that was corrected in later printings and the NA version), four stone map pieces, ten rubble piles (used to block corridors and as deadfall traps in the UK version.)
two inserts probably also came with a mail-in questionnaire, and a folded advertisement showing both quest packs, the HeroQuest board game and on the reverse Space Crusade board game.
