BTB - Horrors of the Underground & Bonus Wyrm Egg XP

Hi Cianty,

Once the wyrm egg is found then is the bonus D3+1 XP always awarded or only if the warband physically walks the egg off the table. I believe that it is always awarded even if the other warband routs after the egg has been found but before it was taken off the table but my gaming group were a little unsure about this.

Thanks.

I think the rules are clear as they are written, are they not?

"The warband that manages to take a Wyrm’s Egg off the board gets +D3+1 Experience, which may be distributed freely among the warband’s heroes."

What else could I say?

Sorry I don't know. The emphasis implies that the warband physically needs to walk it off the board. To me this means that it would be necessary to continue playing once one warband has routed if the egg has not made it out of the cavern.

Oh, yeah, that's a good point. If the enemy routs, you automatically win the game and if you are in possession of the egg then, then you may keep it. Otherwise the game ends with no one finding the egg.

I agree. The scenario implies that the non-routing warband should still have the opportunity to face-off against the wyrm in order to snatch the egg.

And it's possible for the wyrm to rout the 2nd warband of course.
