Quarry: Chains that Rust - effigy health?

By T0NT0, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi all,

The rules state the following, "The effigy has health equal to the number of heroes multiplied by the number of objective tokens in the overlord's play area. If the effigy suffers hearts equal to its health, it is destroyed"- Also the effigy is treated as a monster.

Question - If the OL hasn't collected any objective tokens at any point, I assume the effigy's health is 0? So what happens in the heroes attack the effigy while it has 0? Do they have to do 1 damage and its over? Does the effigy even roll defense die if it has 0 health?

Thanks!

I didn't played this quest yet, so my reply may be wrong, but in this case I believe the number of health is equal to the numer of heroes. I supose you must forget the part of the objective tokens, not multiply by 0 if there is nothing.

Something with no health will be defeated if dealt even 1 damage. Having no health does not affect the defense roll at all.

If the effigy is supposed to have a substantial amount if health, I would double check your quest rules to make sure you're not missing something.
