[Complete] Summons of the Wizards' Council

[Daedalus]

There are a few components you could add to page 3:

1 Revolving Room Tile
2 Mirror Tiles
+6? Game Cards*

The extra Game Cards are the Skaven spells. Perhaps you could mention them on p.5 either as part of entry #5 under The Wizards of Zargon, or just after.

First, on the Special Ability:

Beginning with this Quest Pack, the Wizard will have the special ability to counter a spell cast on him.
After being targeted by a spell, he may roll a combat die to counter the spell and see if he may ignore all its effects. If the Wizard has more Mind Points than the spellcaster, he must roll a skull to successfully counter the spell. If he has fewer Mind Points, he must roll a white shield to do so.
If a spell is successfully countered, the spellcaster must discard it without it taking any effect whatsoever, but the Wizard must also discard any one of his unused spells.

No qualms with this. If I remember it correctly, you took that excerpt from WoM unchanged,
so I only checked for orthographical errors, of which there were none.

Great job all around!
One of the best quest packs I've seen.

What about something like: "The Wizard may counter any spell cast within his line of sight."

The tiles should already be familiar from previously played Quest Packs.
I should mention the Skaven Spells perhaps under "Additional Components Needed:"

Aaaah, so it doesn'T matter if he's the actual target. Got it.

Beginning with this Quest Pack, the Wizard will have the special ability to counter a spell.
Immediately after a spell has been cast in his line of sight, he may roll a combat die to counter it and thus nullify all its effects. If the Wizard has more Mind Points than the spellcaster, he must roll a skull to successfully counter the spell. If he has fewer Mind Points, he must roll a white shield to do so.
If a spell is successfully countered, the spellcaster must discard it without it taking any effect whatsoever, but the Wizard must also discard any one of his unused spells.

Added it to "Additional Components Needed:" and changed Wizards of Zargon to say 5 spell groups.

Updated it in my words. Hope that works now.

Ok so I play-tested Quest 1 with a new Wizard and died horribly. Did not follow the "code" on the room order though. Will try again.

[Anderas]

Aye, my wizard survived only barely, only on the perfect path and with the help of a magical throwing dagger.
But I wouldn't want to miss that epic Gargoyle fight.

Just some ideas to choose from:
Would you add a magical throwing dagger somewhere?
Maybe a hint in the quest that the top left corner is to be left alone?
Or the barbarian stays with the wizard willingly and asks for payment only once the quest is over?
Or you can free not only the barbarian but also a helbardier, probably in another corner of the quest?

The first time I snuck past the Gargoyle (Sleep and Veil of Mist) only to get trapped in the Torture room (by the awakening Gargoyle). Freed the Barbarian who got one damage from the Gargoyle and split. (Wizard had only 35 coins from a Treasure card). So second try I headed to top left where the money is and the Chaos Warrior made quick work.

The 1 BP loss from a Magical Throwing Dagger wouldn't be sufficient.
I'm thinking the Barbarian takes 50 coins from the Wizard per BP loss after the original Quest ends (not optional for the Wizard) If the Wizard doesn't have enough coins then the Barbarian takes all he has and splits before the Cabiri.

[j_dean80]

Ok that played out great. So I confirmed the Quest is beatable with a new Wizard. I chose Fire, Air, and Water this time, that along with the edited Barbarian rule.
