Runebound Caught in a Web
The sorceress Ariad once more schemes to conquer Terrinoth with the Caught in a Web Scenario Pack. Now; she commands her arachnid minions to spread insidiously throughout the realm; spinning webs; injecting venom; and preparing for their mistress to cover the world in darkness.
As we mentioned above; Caught in a Web is a Scenario Pack that introduces an entirely new scenario to Runebound. Throughout the course of this scenario ; story cards and adventure cards will cause webs to be placed across the map. These webs restrict the heroes’ movement; but they can be destroyed if you’re willing to expend the effort. At the end of the first act; the sorceress Ariad transforms into her spider form and begins to move around the realm. If she places a web in each of the four major cities; all of the heroes lose the game. The only way you can win is by tracking down Ariad and defeating her in battle before another hero can reach her!
Along the way; you’ll find yourself face-to-face with new and hideous monsters or terrifying perils. You may encounter an Arachyura ; a spider-like creature that can trap you in its webs and deal lingering damage even after it’s defeated. You may track a nest of spiders to the Smokeblue Hills; or delve deep into tunnels that riddle the ground beneath Terrinoth. Fortunately; a new hero also arrives to save Terrinoth with this expansion: Jonas the Kind. Jonas possesses many unexpected skills learned in a life of crime; but now he uses those same skills to defend the innocent from monsters.
