The Outpost of Malodorr Swamp
Required Sets: Swarm of the Marro, Fortress of the Archkyrie
Deep in the swamp of Malodorr lies an outpost that is all but forgotten. The exiled warriors who have been sent to Malodorr know it is the last place they will be stationed. The swamp is a wretched and stench-filled deadwater that assaults the senses with every waking moment and threatens to render this outpost uninhabitable. Outside the gates is the only source of water within a weeklong journey. In the swamp of Malodorr, water is as precious as weapons and armor.

The Abandoned Outpost
Master Game for 2 or 3 Players
Required Sets: Swarm of the Marro, Fortress of the Archkyrie
Goal: Take control of the abandoned outpost.
Setup: At the start of the game, the Door is open with 5 wounds on its Army Card and is not
controlled by any player. Place the Army Card next to the battlefield until a player
takes control of the Door.
2 Players: Players 1 and 2 each draft or bring a pre-made 500-point Army. Player 1 may start
in any one of the three starting zones. Player 2 may start in either of the remaining
two starting zones.
3 Players: Players 1, 2, and 3 each draft or bring a pre-made 500-point Army.
Special Rules: Turn the Glyphs of Ulaniva, Crevcor, Proftaka and Brandar symbol-side up and shuffle
them. Then randomly place them symbol-side up as shown on the "?" Glyphs. If a figure
lands on the Glyph of Brandar, roll the 20-sided die. If a 1-10 is rolled, that figure
receives 1 wound. The Glyph of Brandar is a temporary Glyph.
Victory: Victory is achieved by being the only player with at least one figure inside the Outpost
of Malodorr at the end of Round 5 or any round thereafter. A figure is inside the
Outpost if it occupies any space within the walls of the Outpost including any Door
spaces, Ladder spaces and Wall Walk spaces. A player may also win by destroying all
of his opponent's figures.
If no player has achieved victory by the end of the 10th round, the player with the
most points wins the game. See Scoring in the Master Game Guide.
Reports of at least two large Armies approaching the Outpost of the Malodorr Swamp have created a panic in the undermanned stronghold. The exiled defenders have preferred to abandon their outpost for the safety of the wretched swamp rather than be surefire targets in an all-out battle. As the Armies converge on the outpost, there is a tense bewilderment. Where are its defenders? The bewilderment lasts only a moment as the battle begins with an intensity that the exiled defenders had predicted.

After abandoning the Outpost to avoid annihilation by the larger attacking Armies, the exiled defenders of the Outpost return. As expected, one of the attacking Armies is victorious but has been decimated to a fragment of its original size. All who remain in this Army are battle-weary, with little desire to participate in another onslaught to defend their new spoils of war. The exiled defenders know that their chances to retake the Outpost of Malodorr are in their favor.
