When determining the monsters, several factors come Both scenarios begin with a client arriving at the

Finally, dice rolls are used to determine the actual
monster. The dice roll (with modification) differs Request Reward Table
depending on the number of PCs (see p. 46). If there are 4 Average level of PCs Reward Per Person (G)
or more PCs, the dice are rolled twice, and two monsters 1.0-1.4 200
appear. 1.5-1.9 300
As mentioned earlier, the scenario is designed for up to 2.0-2.4 400
6 PCs. Playing with more than 7 PCs is not recommended, 2.5-2.9 700
but if necessary, increase the number of dice rolls to 3 or 3.0-3.4 1000
more. For 7 PCs, you can roll "1d" 3 times. For 8 PCs, roll 3.5-3.9 1500
"1d+1" 3 times, and so on. 4.0-4.4 2000
The scenario in this book is designed for PCs with an 4.5-4.9 2500
average level of up to 10. Even in the "Monster 5.0-5.4 3000
Determination Table," the highest column is "10.5 or 5.5-5.9 3500
higher." If the PC's level exceeds this expectation, the 6.0-6.4 4000
strength of the monsters will not be sufficient, and the 6.5-6.9 4500
enjoyment of battles will diminish. The GM may use 7.0-7.4 5000
higher-level monsters on their own to further advance the 7.5-7.9 5500
game. 8.0-8.4 6000
8.5-8.9 6500
Boss 9.0-9.4 7000
In the given scenario, when making a decision about a 9.5-9.9 7500
monster, it may be classified with "/Boss" to indicate that it 10.0-10.4 8000
should be treated as a Boss. For example, [Barbarous/Boss] 10.5 or more 8500
would mean that the monster should be treated as a Boss.
In this case, the "Monster Determination Table" is used,
assuming that the average level of the player characters
(PCs) is 1 level higher. The determined monster should be
enhanced by a number of Sword Shards equal to its
monster level. If multiple monsters appear at the same
time, only one of them should be enhanced with Sword
Shards.
When there are 4 or more PCs, and the dice are rolled
more than once, only one of the rolls should result in a
Boss, meaning it is one level higher and enhanced with
Sword Shards. For the remaining rolls, use the table with
the average level as it is, without Sword Shards.

Description
It’s a fire-breathing mythical beast with a wingspan of about 1 meter,
it is also called a cormorant. They loathe water and live in arid areas such
as deserts. Its staple food is fire, which it feeds on after setting itself on fire,
feeding on plants or animals.
Legend has it that a fully-grown Flame Eater can gain powers to live
forever, and it is sometimes called Phoenix.

Typically, the story progresses by resolving these
mission events. The story's progress is marked by "phases".
