S etting up the Game
A Dungeon Saga game is called an adventure, and usually forms one chapter of
a larger story. In The Dwarf King’s Quest, the battle between Mortibris and our
Heroes, there are ten sequential adventures detailed in the Quest book.

Selecting Heroes
Each Hero has three core game values listed on their Hero card. These will be used throughout
the game, so make sure you know where they are for quick reference.

Each hero has strengths and weaknesses. The mighty barbarian can slaughter many foes at a time,
yet he is lightly armoured and vulnerable to stronger enemies. The Dwarf, while not quite as
powerful, is steadier in his fighting, his thick armour resisting most attacks. The Elf is not as skilled
a fighter as either of these, instead preferring to stay at a distance where her finely-honed archery
skills can best be used. Finally, there is the wizard. The others may laugh at his lack of fighting
skill, yet it is often his magic that carries the day.

Dying for the Cause
As an Overlord, it is important not to worry too much about the fate of your underlings. Most
of them will die and early and messy death at the hands of meddlesome Heroes. That’s their job.
The important thing is your plan to dominate the world. Every Overlord has one. When you think
of it in this light the lives of your minions and even your trusted Bosses are unimportant. As long as
they’re sacrificing themselves to your benefit, that’s fine.
So don’t be shy about throwing your minions into the fray, even if the odds are hugely stacked
against them. Even the lowliest skeleton can get a lucky hit on a heavily armoured Dwarf, and these
wounds all add up. Weaken the Heroes with your rabble so your Bosses can finish them off later.
Use your advantages of numbers to swamp lone Heroes. Surround them and pin their best warriors
in place while you slaughter their weaker allies. Remember, mercy and honour are weaknesses
indulged by the so-called good guys. You don’t need either of them.

F ighting
Fighting, but more importantly recognising when you are outmatched, is a core

Once you’ve established that you are able to Shoot, follow the four-step process below:
The attacker rolls a number of dice equal to his Shooting Dice value, and the defender rolls a number of
dice equal to his Combat Dice value. When Shooting, the following modifiers apply:
No model may ever roll fewer than 2 dice, regardless of modifiers. See Minimum Values on page 15.
The attacker discards any dice that are less than or equal to the defender’s armour. These attacks are too
weak to cause any damage.
If this leaves the attacker with no dice, the attack has bounced off and has no further effect.
If the attacker has any dice left, compare them to the defender’s dice by matching them into pairs: the
highest attacker’s dice with the highest defender’s dice, the second highest attacker’s dice with the
second highest defender’s dice, and so on.
Each pair in which the attacker’s result is higher than the defender’s result counts as one Hit against the
defender. If the results are equal, or the defenders’ result is higher, the attack does not score a Hit.
If the attacker has more dice than the defender then each remaining dice that is unopposed also scores a Hit.
Models react differently to being Hit. What injures an Elf may be completely ignored by a Troll. Compare
the number of Hits scored to the defender’s model type on the damage table to find out the effect.

Dungeons are often littered with the remains of earlier occupants, and this includes
many items of furniture. There are also doors and treasure chests that may be still in
use. Collectively this is known as furniture.
