Intrigue 3 Slippery Slope

Requirements: None
Goal : Unknown until 3 is read
Introduction :
The going is treacherous, but you move slowly along the
rocky outcroppings. With enough care in your footing,
the climb isn’t too difficult. That is, until you begin to
hear a strange slurping noise, and thrust your torch
forward into the darkness, illuminating the quivering 2 Ooze Living Wind
outline of a sentient ooze. Perhaps the creatures Corpse Demon
normally feed on the corpses strewn on the bottom
of the chasm, and have now taken the opportunity to 2
intercept a fresher meal. Whatever the explanation, the
things don’t look too friendly.

Special Rules : Tile (x2) (x2)
All hexes on these two tiles are considered difficult
terrain. When an Ooze dies, place a scenario aid token

(the number or letter is irrelevant) on the hex in which it
died. For the rest of the scenario, this hex is considered 2

One of your number topples over the edge of
the cliff, a look of horror cemented on their
face. Luckily, the fall is shorter than expected,
and they land with a crunch on a rocky
outcropping some distance below. Unluckily,
the ledge is teeming with living corpses very
interested in crushing the life out of you.
You’ll need to climb back up to avoid being
overwhelmed.
Special Rules :
From now on, if any non-flying figure is
forced to move into a wall hex 2 (including
the figure who triggered 2 ), place that
figure on an unoccupied hex adjacent to the
right wall of this room closest to the 2 hex
they moved into, and that figure suffers trap
damage. Characters may also intentionally
move into a 2 hex for the same effect.
There is no focus or line-of-sight between this 03

room and the rest of the map. If a character
is in a hex adjacent to the right wall of this
room, they may spend 4 movement points
(in a single turn) to move to an unoccupied
hex on the other side of the wall closest to
the hex they were in.
Treasure Tile 03: You see something glittering in a large pile of garbage and don’t think twice about
digging in. You pull out a perfectly preserved pair of Boots of Quickness (Item 43). On one of the soles,
you find the monogram “FS.” 2
