It is a four player game with Jim immediately selecting Bjorn – Shadow Barbarian , Brian – Elias the Battle Wizard, Lee – Sibyl the Night Shade Ranger and Richard – Whisper the Moonblood Nightrunner.

• BATTLE WIZARD
Primary: Magic
Secondary: Melee
Best used as a second line fighter, the Battle Wizard casts enchantments with ease and deals a lot of damage at me- dium range. While they can join melees in a pinch and fight rather well, they’re not as heavily protected as their teammates. Make sure the Battle Wizard gets the Equip- ment cards with the most powerful Enchantments, as they make the best use of them.

• BLOODMOON NIGHTRUNNER
Primary: Melee
Secondary: Ranged
The Bloodmoon Nightrunner is an assassin, hiding in the shadows to deal powerful blows at all ranges. This Hero excels at surprising enemies and executes the biggest monsters as a hobby. Beware, though, as the Bloodmoon Nightrunner is all about offense, melee or ranged, but not defense. Shadows are their best protection.

• NIGHTSHADE RANGER
Primary: Ranged
Secondary: Melee
As their name implies, the Nightshade Ranger is a consum- mate hunter, dealing high damage to their targets from afar. They’re best at controlling corridors and crossroads, firing arrows in all directions to cover their teammates. The Ranger’s accuracy is most advantageous when they are kept at a safe distance.

• SHADOW BARBARIAN
Primary: Melee
Secondary: Ranged
The Shadow Barbarian is a predator, lurking in the dark to ambush their prey in a savage way. Wielding melee weapons, they move around silently until they suddenly charge, deal- ing an enormous amount of damage to their enemies in the blink of an eye. Neither large mobs nor hulking monsters make a difference to them when they prepare for the kill!

Currently, there are two artifact tokens taken with Level 3 enemies spawning. Whisper has died once combating the nasties (and the weakest of the bunch) while the others were hoarding treasure and leveling up equipment.
