Experianced Player with Warlock Questions?

By freybourne, in Talisman Rules Questions

We were deep in the game. The Monk and Prophetess both had a Talisman and I wanted to get one and take a shot at getting to the Crown of Command. I only had 10 Str. but I figured maybe I can slip in and get lucky but I couldn't beat either one of them in a fight to take thier Talisman so I went on a Warlocks Quest.

The Quest said to take a life from another player! It is an impossible quest. What am I supposed to do? Keep fighting them until I die? What happens if , if I go on the quest and draw a card a few turns later and gain a Talisman....do I still have to complete an impossible quest? Do I keep fighting them till I die?

What if the quest says to lose 2 lives of my own and I only had 1 life left....am I dead? Ofr do you heal first then go see the Warlock?

Another thing. Suppose I am on the Sentinal in the Middle Region. I have to go to the City to complete my Warlock Quest. I roll a 1. On the Curse Glade is the Magic Belt and the Orb of Knowledge. Can I move 1 and get the Magic Objects or do I have to go down the stairs?

Thanks,

Freybourne

Boost up until you can win a combat against another character? Spells might also help. Now, if you drew the Quest after everyone else was on the Inner Region, things are a bit more difficult, could still reach the CoC via the Dungeon, but would then bounce back out if you complete you Quest on the CoC. I would suggest you use the Replacing Quests Variant from the Frostmarch rules.

I don't have a Quest like that. Only one I could find was "Lose One Life", which specifically states you must have 2 Lives. And you don't need to visit the Warlock to complete the Quest, just lose one life, that is take one off from your character, same goes for discard 1 Fate, lose Str/Craft.

You can still move normally, you're not forced to only move toward the target space.
