Somewhere in the range of 60 or 70 Goblins.

If someone likes to slay masses of weaklings, here you go.


I updated the quest map with Lestodantes remarks.
I also updated the quest notes.

I still need ideas for A, B, C, E

It takes heroscribe files and outputs lots of little statistics, plus a questimation.

I just wanted to test certain functions, so I distributed some rooms and monsters around. Turns out, it is actually a balanced quest for a group with 4 dice equipment.

This posting is best viewed if you have installed the fonts HQModern, Gaze and Heroquest.

The Goblin's Hive
Some rebellious Goblins have declared their independency from the Orcs of the Black Mountains. Now they are outcast and start to rob merchants in the woods.
Solve this problem and I'll pay 100 Gold coins to every member of this group.



Notes:
A:
B:
C:
D: If the Heroes have lost artifacts in a previous quest, they can find one here. Otherwise, the first hero to search for treasure adjacent to the chest will find two heroic brews.
E:
F: The Falling Rock Trap triggers when the first model slides underneath. It does not harm that hero, but just blocks the way. If another hero slides down the ice slide, he can get back up the slope by rolling as many white dice as he has BP, and rolling at least one black die. The wizard can melt the ice slide by discarding any one fire spell. Tell the heroes this when someone tries to disarm the ice slide.
G: The chest contains one Potion of Healing (4 BP). It can be searched when standing adjacent to it. The Axe trap triggers either when all the axe squares are full of hero models, or when the chest has been searched.

Wandering Monster: 3 Goblins

An idea for room B:
"One of these Goblins is a minor shaman and can cast the Chaos Spells Fireball and Rust (or whichever ones you prefer). This shaman is indistinguishable from all the other Goblins and will always be the 3rd-to-last Goblin slain in this room."

Happy 2020, everyone!

That's a great one, thanks!
As you can see, the Questimator is still using my time :-)

Idea for A: The first hero to enter the room is tripped by a goblin that is beside the door (If no goblins are beside the door this doesn't apply). The tripped hero falls to the floor and is tied up to the throne. The captured hero loses their turn until they are saved. The other heroes must save the captured hero by clearing the room of goblins.

Idea for E: If you had tokens for columns (maybe use stone wall tokens), put two in the room. The doors lock if 2 or more heroes are in the room on the EW's turn. The heroes notice the columns are old and unstable, but hear chattering above them and look up at the tops of the columns. On the EW's turn 2 goblins climb down the columns and become active. The heroes must push over the both columns, and the last column knocks open the east or west door (whichever is closest). No more goblins spawn.

Not sure how you would do the knock over columns mechanic. I'm just putting an idea out there for now.
