About the game
Return to the ancient days of creation in Esfah…and find that legends live! The power of Lord Death, jealous of Nature, produced his own children. First came the Lava Elves, creatures of Fire and Death bred to conquer Esfah. With powerful magic and potent missiles, the unpredictable Lava Elves became the bane of the land, especially in their own Highlands. Now available in a kicker pack, the Lava Elves also bring their monstrous allies, including the legendary Lurker in the Dark, making its first appearance in Dragon Dice™. Each Lava Elf kicker box contains a random assortment of 7 6-sided dice: 4 small 16mm, 2 medium 18mm, and 1 large 20mm. They also include 1 random 22mm 10-sided monster die and a rules sheet.
