The Tyrant's Tomb - a solo quest pack

[Pancho]

The printed cards are very good quality I’d like to say. Thanks Lestodante.

They look really well, as always!

I tried to message Pancho, in regards to questions about some monsters in Tyrant's Tomb solo quest. So I thought I would also post them here to see if any of you can help answer them.

As I was reading through this topic again a few things regarding the monsters came up so I thought I would ask you about them.

In quest 6 (Continuing the misadventures of the Dwarf), what does the undead creature known as Draugar look like? He or it stands on the " X " marked by the letter "J " on the quest map. Also in the notes for this letter it says he grows, does he just take up one space and each time he grows you switch him out with a taller model to represent his growth?

Next I scrolled forward a bit through the different posts and came to a monster list. Where it talked about Rime-Wolves (says use giant wolves for them from MOTM). Are these what the three headless hounds are called in quest 10 (In the Night Season Part 1, The Litch - Way)? They are marked with three " X's" on the map labeled " F ". Also I know the notes say to use the giant wolves for them, but if someone wanted to make a mini for them would it look like:

B) https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/feara ... 1126053054
(Also when I came across this image it took me to this site)

I really like the look of " A " but I'm not sure how Pancho saw this in his head or what he might have said what this monster looks like. Also are they a giant wolf size or are they a normal wolf size? Either way I was thinking a good base mini to start with for this monster would be to use the wolf from the "Battel Masters" game. The ones that the wolf riders ride on.

From there if it was the same size as the giant wolves the mini could just be sized bigger in the file.

Thanks for any insight anyone can give.

Links A and B doesn't work

[Lowery_79]

If this works this should be the link for "A" (if not maybe it could just be copied and pasted into the URL area where you type email addresses).

This should be for "B"

@Pancho, just noticed the original name for the Wraithweaver was Wraitreaver. Did you change the name appositely or was it a typo?
Also the Propugnator Sword and the Ruby Ring were skipped for this questpack as well as the Blue Amulet.

Description from the book as follows:

Propugnator
This is the magical weapon Propugnator. It only strikes for
normal damage, but is superb in defence. When you use
it to parry, you need a roll of 1-5, instead of the usual 1-2,
on one die. Note that on your character sheet.

Ruby Ring
According to the satyr, this ring can be used to immobilize
an opponent by freezing them in time. He would have used
it himself, but the band is too narrow to fit on his thick
stumpy fingers – fortunately for you.
In any combat, you can use the ring to despatch one
enemy without rolling the dice. If you are facing multiple
foes, the others will be unaffected. Also, the ring only has
enough sorcery left in it to work once, so think carefully
before you use it.

Blue Amulet
a sparkling amulet comprising a smooth
blue stone set into a gold surround.
‘What’s this do?’ you ask, putting the amulet around
your neck.
‘It defends against magic. That’s what you wanted, isn’t
it?’
You can increase your MIND score by two points as long
as you retain the amulet. (Note this on your Character
Sheet as ‘Blue Amulet: +2 to MIND’.)

I know probably Pancho didn't want to use these too, but I did an attempt at creating the three artifacts mentioned above.
I am fine with the amulet and the ring and how they works, they may be found in the Treasure deck too.
For the Propugnator sword, I am still not sure about its rules. Considering to change the defend roll with two red dice and to parry successfuly with a 4-6. Rolling everything but a black shield seems too much.
Just noticed a typo in the amulet on the last row, should be Then, not Than.

Hi, please did anyone compiled all this quest in a single pdf or similar? Thanks.

[lestodante]

I'd also like to.
The Quest notes are way longer than a standard Quest to fit into a single page. We'll need a different layout eventually.

Anyway, I'd like to spend few minutes to share the following pics with you. I guess I never shared these before elsewhere.
Years ago (before Babyrhino did the actual cover) I commissioned an artwork for this questpack to artist Ralph Niese (instagram @ralphniese).
He was the artist who painted the Fury of Gozmar box art.
I explained him the project and he was happy to get the job.
Ralph send me a first sketch in May 2020:

then I asked him to draw something with an horizontal layout to match a US style questbook too and on June 2020 he droppen in this:

I was surprised by the amount of details he put into a simple sketch. But unfortunately he never send me any update and our communication stopped with no reason.
I wrote him several times to ask for progresses but with no success.
Only two years later I was aknowleged Ralph passed away and understood why he was not replying anymore to my messages.
The two pics above are the only ones I have. I recently contacted the family to ask if there was any chance to rescue the arts from Ralph's sketchbook so we could feature them in the final questbook and credit him.
Although the messages were received and read, I got no answer.
I think it is nice to let everyone see the pics above and hope you'll enjoy them.

Thanks for sharing. Good to see the pictures and you were trying to give visual shape to this, but sad story unfortunately. R.I.P. Ralph Niese
