Lindsey Dubb's New Adventure Cards

These are New Adventure Cards Lindsey Dubb's has created to expand the game:

Countdown For the rest of the game, any player that casts Command may add one to the roll. If the Dragon King is in play, he falls asleep. The sleeping King's Strength is reduced by two. If he is attacked and survives, he will wake up. Place this card on the Crown of Command space as a reminder. [There is no effect on the Demon Lord.]		Damsel in DistressIf the Maiden or Princess are in play, one of them (equal chance) is captured by a Dragon. Each Dragon in play (other than the King) has an equal chance of being the culprit. Wake the Dragon and place the captive on its space. No Good Player may enter the Crown of Command space until she is freed. If no Dragons are in play, ignore this event.
Flood Remove all cards (except the Sea Dragon and Water Elemental) from the Dungeon, the Outer Region, and the Middle Region. All Characters in the Dungeon lose a Life. Reshuffle all of the card decks.		Rumor of RichesPlace 5 Gold on the following space: (roll 1 die) 1: Guard Room 2: Treasure Chamber 3: Graveyard 4: Cursed Glade 5: Desert nearest the Warlock's Cave 6: Plain of Peril
Shrieker A funny-looking fungus screams at you. The two nearest Enemies in the Dungeon (in either direction -- roll to break ties) move to this space. You must encounter them normally.		Tales of TreasurePick a random magic card and place it on (roll 1 die): 1: The Cell 2: The Chamber of Darkness 3: The Forest 4: The Ruins 5: The Desert next to the Temple 6: The Chasm
Wages Rise Place this card on the City. Players that take a job receive 2 (rather than 1) Gold so long as this card remains there.

Floating Eye (Craft 4)If you lose to the Eye, do not lose a Life. Instead, roll one die to determine the number of turns you miss.		Gorgon (Craft 8)Place her on the Plane of Peril when this card is drawn. Add 3 to your roll when fighting the Gorgon if you possess a Shield. If she defeats you, lose one life, miss 3 turns, and leave the Region on your next move.

Aquetor (Strength 5)If you are defeated by the Aquetor, you do not lose a Life. Instead, you lose one (randomly selected) piece of Armor (this includes Shields and Helmets). Regardless of the result, you must discard any (non-missile) weapon you used in the combat.		Colossus (Strength 10)A Colossus is terrorizing this area. It will remain here until it is killed.
Cyclops (Strength 6)You may either fight or trade. If you fight and lose, lose a Life and leave a randomly chosen Object or Follower here. If you win, all Objects, Followers and Gold on this space are discarded. To trade, leave any combination of two of the following here: Gold, Objects, and/or Followers. You may then take one of those (but not a thing you just left).		Drolem (Strength 7)No Spells, weapons, or Magic Objects can be used against the Drolem.
Gelatinous Cube (Strength 6)If you are defeated by the Cube, you must lose a Life and miss your next turn.		Grumpy Wizard (Strength 2)Before Combat, he casts a Spell (roll 1 die): 1) He teleports to a random space in this region. 2) Lightning Bolt: You miss this and your next turn. 3) Invisibility: You may not fight the Wizard. 4) Psionic Blast: The Wizard fights with a Strength of 7. 5) Curse: You automatically roll a 1 for the Combat. 6) Weakness: Your base Strength is returned to its original value for this turn.
Rodent of Unusual Size (Strength 4)A savage ROUS is infesting this place. it will remain here until killed. If it defeats you, you are diseased, and your starting quota of Lives is reduced by one until you either drink from the Pool of Life, gain a Life at the Temple, Altar or Shrine, or have Healing cast on you.		Salamander (Strength 7)Place the Salamander on the Valley of Fire when it is drawn. Increase your total against the Salamander by 3 if you have a Water Bottle or the Holy Grail. If you lose to the Salamander, you lose a Life, one Talisman (return it to the pile), and are teleported to the Plane of Peril.
Strix (Strength 3)If you lose to the Strix, lose a Life and keep the Strix as a Follower. As a follower, it will attack you at the start of your turn. You may move normally afterward. If you tie it, leave it in your space. Except through combat, you may not lose the Strix.		Troll Bridge (Strength 6)Place this card on the bridge next to the Town or City (equal chance). To use that bridge, either pay 1 Gold (discard it), evade the Troll, or defeat it. If you fight and are defeated, encounter the space next to the bridge (on your side). If the Troll is defeated, roll a die -- on a six, the card stays here, though you continue your move.

Candlestick MakerYou may buy a Candlestick here for 2 Gold. When all are sold, the Candlestick Maker wanders to the discard pile. If this card, the Baker, and the Butcher are all on the board, the three of them float off together into the discards.		FishermongerA Fishmonger has set up shop in the City.
