About the game
The Epic Adventure Through Time! A long time ago, before the Eternal Order of Perseus was formed, all sorts of ancient, terrible magics and evil creatures rampaged across the earth. As the Tomb has traveled our universe, moving across the ley lines of otherworldly energies, it has been the harbinger of mysterious, supernatural, inhuman forces. Now, only the audacious adventurers of the E.O.P. can stop these powers, once lost and long forgotten to the depths of the Tomb, now returned to cry havoc. Presenting the Epic Adventure campaign booklet: Take all your scenarios from the Secrets of the Lost Tomb universe and play them in an epic campaign with its own scenario, The Epic Conclusion! Will you be able to travel through time and space to stop the Time Terrorist before it’s too late? This expansion also presents two new, exciting standalone scenarios, each with immersive stories and challenging creatures. Will you find Leif Ericson’s Helm before the mercenary Viking princess can? Can you defend the Tomb against the horrific and all-powerful Emperor Drakkus and his army of dragon worshippers before he makes his final transformation? To aid you in your quest, included are new, diverse adventurers, equipped and ready to venture into the Tomb. While on these new expeditions, you’ll find new items, artifacts, story cards, companions, and creatures—all in your quest to discover the Secrets of the Lost Tomb: Reign of Terror!
