Oops. I apparently uploaded the wrong PDF to my dropbox and didn't notice for nearly two years. This has been rectified just now.
I'll list the stats of the missing monsters here as well:
  • Chaos Fury: Move 9 | Attack 5* | Defend 3 | Body 3 | Mind 5 | Special Abilities: May choose to deal Mind damage when attacking, but only rolls 3 Combat Dice instead of 5 when attacking this way.
  • Skeleton Knight: Move 7 | Attack 4 | Defend 2 | Body 2 | Mind 0 | Undead
  • Wight: Move 5 | Attack 3* | Defend 5 | Body 2 | Mind 0 | Special Abilities: Undead; Attacks from this monster deal both Body and Mind damage simultaneously.
  • Exalted Sorcerer: Move 7 | Attack 3* | Defend 5 | Body 4 | Mind 6 | Special Abilities: May attack at range with dark magic, rolling 3 Combat Dice to do so.

For those curious as to whether or not more Quest Packs are forthcoming to continue the saga of AlterQuest: Yes ... Eventually!
But first I have to write the Quest Notes and convert them to Compatibility Mode. Jury's out on that one.

(Did I ever show anybody my preview for "The Cursemaster"? I don't think so.)

Is cursemaster stand alone, or does it fit in with anything else?

Unfortunately my brother's dwarf (now a slayer) has, on finishing his quest in the Dragonback mountains, been lured further east by the thought of killing the Troll in Carag Eight Peaks. So he will complete that first before returning for Alterquest Pt deux.

So many quests! But keep them coming, because yours are great.

I originally designed Cursemaster as a standalone Quest Pack in a similar style to Heirs of Chaos: four linked pairs of Quests, followed by a trilogy to close out the Quest Pack.
I have plans to add it as part of AlterQuest later, but it'll be posted by itself for a while first.

AlterQuest itself is getting a couple more additions soon as well; my players are almost done going through "The Hajmoor Horde", an 8-Quest series of adventures set in the oversea nation of Valencia.
The monsters in this Quest Pack are far-Eastern invaders with primitive firearm technology: Heroes who get shot must defend against the attack with one fewer Combat Die than usual.
They also summon Djinns, powerful spirits who cannot be harmed by "mundane" weapons; only Spells, Artifacts or Magic Items can hurt them.

I've just finished solo playing part 2. Really enjoyable thanks. The difficulty level is a major step up from part 1, and looking at part 3 it really ramps up, although I note the Chaos Fury's have lost an attack die since Heralds.

Thank you for this kick in the pants. I've been sitting on this one far too long.
You'll be happy to know I just finished writing the notes for Quest 3. Expect an update post either today or tomorrow with at least 2 more quests added!

We started Rise of the Valkyries in January and should be playing the last six quests three weeks today. I'm loving that certain events must be recorded for their future effect. I have three different sets of Empire swordsmen, so one are the Paladins and another the Valkyries and they'll soon be battling it out between themselves in the giant courtyard!

FYI The Paladins were useless. I've never seen such consistently bad rolling for both attack and defence. They all died and managed to kill only one monster. seven monsters were able to escape before the heroes were able to get to the courtyard and stop the exodus.

Playing quest 2-6 The Marauders' Advance today. Is there any penalty for failing this quest? There is nothing in the list of quest achievements or failures, such as rescuing Paladins or not, or failing to stop Marston escaping.
