WARHAMMER: QUEST {GUIDEBOOK READ THIS FIRSTWELCOME, MORTALS... ae at eS ee | Throughout the Mortal Realms the legends ofthe Silver Tower are tld. In each tale, a disparate band af champions both good and evil find themselves fighting through the ever-shifting domain of one . af the nine Gaunt Summoners of Tzeentch. Some of these champions work together; others fight only for themselves. Some seek a boon from the gloating ‘master of the tower, while others wish only to learn his true name and in so doing gain the power to . strike him down. No matter their agendas, in the legends the champions battle side by side as they navigate the sanity-blasting horrors ofthe Silver Tower. Foul monsters must be slain. Mind-bending . riddles must be solved and puzzles completed, With the threat of death always looming for those who fail. In these stories, the greatest champions grow in strength and renown as they overcome each new challenge, nally bringing the Gaunt Summoner himself to battle and winning riches, power and freedom, But ofcourse, for every tale with such a stirring conclusion, another ends only in madness and despair.

Huddle close to its light, for thi tale. A tale of the Silver Tower. is a dark and terrible A labyrinth the Silver Tower was, an impossible fastness of timeless evil. It was a crystalline web, an insanely complex machine, a puzzle-fortress beyond the scope of mortal minds. It was the lair of the Gaunt Summoner. Within its ever-shilting pathways that sorcerous daemon ruled with absolute power. Nothing brought the Gaunt Summoner greater pleasure than to ensnare mortal champions within. his web. He delighted in the playing of twisted games, pitting his captives against the tides of fate and the ingenuity of his trials, Some of his victims were plucked from the ether, snatched while walking the ways between the realms, Others came to the Silver Tower of their own free will, finding their way into its chill shadows and glittering mists by way of dark rituals or dire pacts. Whether trapped, coerced, or lured into the Silver Tower, there was but one way the champions could leave, They would need to fight their way through fiendish trials, monstrous denizens and deadly traps to se eldritch syllables could the daemon be defeated. The victorious champions could either strike their tormentor down, ot else demand from him a mighty boon. Few were the gifts beyond a Gaunt ¢ the fragments of the Summoner’s true name, Only with the power of these Summoner's power to bestow, from endless wealth and power to the regard of the gods and the deepest secrets of reality itself. Whatever their choices, those who returned alive from the Silver Tower were never the same, and fate rested heavy upon them forevermore.The following ages teach you how to play Warhammer Quest Silver ‘Tower.

WartiInG Instead of taking your turn, you can choose to wait. It might be advantageous to let another player go first, for example, Players who choose to wait take their turns after all the other players have had the chance to take theirs, in the same clockwise order as before, rHERO PHASE With the destiny phase complete, the hero phase begins. Each player takes a complete turn with their hero, starting with the runemarked player and g¢ clockwise around the table. ng AHERO’S TURN The first thing you do in your turn is make your action roll. Roll your four hero dice and put them on the spaces on your hero card. Over the page you will learn how to use them to make actions.ACTIONS MAKING ACTIONS BASIC AND UNIQUE ACTIONS Actions let your hero move, There are three basic actions, which any hero can make: Explore fight and explore, and you (14), Move (1+) and Recuperate (1+*). These are listed on the make them by spending the back of this book for reference, Each hero also has a number of hero dice from your action unique actions on their hero card roll, Each action has a score in brackets, limiting which ‘The first action that the runemarked player will need to make is dice you can spend to make Explore (1+), to reveal the first chamber. it.

You can make actions during your turn by spending the destiny dice on the blue spaces. Fate has no favourites, of course, so do not presume that you can claim them all if you take the first turn. Bact time you spend a destiny dice, the highest-scoring dice that is still on a blue space is locked ~ move it to one of the two purple spaces. You cannot use locked dice, but they return to the blue spaces at the end of your turn so that the next player can use them: The last player to take their turn in the round does not lock destiny dice, and can spend as many of them as they wish.

Each adversary has a Vigour value, representing its resilience and defensive skill, and you will find a summary of these on the back on this book. If the wound markers next to an adversary reach its Vigour value, itis slain and removed from the board. Any excess wounds are ignored. Wound marker Three wounds RENOWN Each time you slay an adversary, you gain a point of renown, Each hero can also gain renown in a unique way, as described at the bottom of their hero card. Whenever you gain renown, move your marker one space around the renown track on the fate board. If your renown marker reaches the starting space (marked with a circle), your hero is gifted with the knowledge of a new skill, as described on page 20.
