[Preview] [Group Quest] [1 Quest] - The Red Right Hand

The Red Right Hand.pdf


Description:
Stand-alone Orc & Goblin quest, no artefacts, useful as a filler between quests but I may (don't hold your breath) revisit and expand it out into a series, possibly.

Nothing in needed to play this quest that doesn't come in the basic box set, however some optional figures for the following may be useful;

Goblin Scouts - bow-armed - alternatively you can just mark 2 of your standard Goblins with a white streak on their base or head
Orcs with Crossbow - or just use standard Orc figure
Large Orc with Flail - can use the Orc with a flail that comes in the box
3 x Crates or just use Treasure Chests

My first published quest in about 30 years, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, you decide!

I have play-tested this with my own house-rules, using a party of Heroes that have completed the original 14 quests and a couple of special one-off quests and it seemed about the right difficulty, on paper it looks a little easier than it plays (provided Zargon makes the most of the new tactical options) but feedback on the difficulty and indeed anything else, from spelling mistakes, lack of clarity in the instructions and anything else would be greatly appreciated.

I like this a lot! My group has just finished Kellar’s Keep and I’m looking to have them do 3-4 standalone quests before we jump into the next campaign style quest pack. At the same time, I’m going to be introducing ranged weapon carrying monsters and have a bunch of archer miniatures on order (goblins and skeletons). This quest will be a great standalone quest specifically to introduce those ranged monsters. Thanks for sharing!

As a side note, does anyone have recommendations for Orc Archer miniatures that fit the style of HQ21? Can’t find any Orc archer minis that I like.
