About the game
Predator and prey. Who is who? Guildmaster Evos is wounded, his bodyguard beheaded by a ferocious man-tiger creature that ran away. The monster is hiding into the Forest of Thraa -- an area of woods dotted by ivy-covered ancient ruins. Thraa, where once a proud town stood -- a town that was destroyed by a vengeful druid cult. "Find the beast!" yells Evos, clutching his bleeding neck. "I will pay three hundred golden crowns to the first adventurer who brings me back its head!" This adventure for Four Against Darkness may be played by 1 to 4 players, in solo or cooperative mode, with all adventurers moving independently on a hex map. A black and white map is in the book, and a larger, full color map that can be printed up to A3 size can be downloaded, for those who want to use miniatures or paper figures to represent their characters' position.
