Some Thoughts Regarding Completion/Warlock Quests, Toadify Spell/trophy cards

By StormCaller, in Talisman Rules Questions

Posted at

Playing Frostmarch for the first time we had some problems we encountered which lead to a big deal of discussions.

a) Regarding Forced Warlock Quests,

If you are forced to draw a warlock quest (from ex. a spell) and you are at the crown of command space and already have a talisman. Do you have to exit the space of command to go and complete your quest?

b) Regarding Completion of a Warlock Quest?

Visit The Alchemist states : ''Simple fool! You already possess the Talisman you seek, but you cannot see it! Go to the Alchemist who dwells within the City. Even as his fire refines mundane materials to pure gold, so too will it reveal that which you seek.''

Now, The Quest headline says Visit The Alchemist. The question here is, to be able to complete the quest, do you have to have a item for him to transmute?

and if yes, will it be transmuted to gold or a talisman?

c) The use of Toadify Spell

After successfully rolling the die and transferring either a character or enemy into a toad.

If you cast it on an enemy with for example strength 8, and you kill it. It says on the card that its strength will remain 1 untill the end of the turn. On the next turn, can the enemy that was killed last turn be exchanged as a normal trophy card with the value of strength 8? Or will it be a "dead toad" with the value of strength 1 ?

Many Thanks,

SC

No

A warlock quest only prevents you to open the Portal of power.

If you receive a quest in the inner region, nothing special happens, except if a character can complete the quest, then he is teleported back to the Warlock Cave.

You only need to visit the alchemist. ( so you must change something in gold to complete the quest (encounter it as normal)

After that, you are teleported to the Warlock cave, and receive your reward

If you have toaded a enemy or creature, his strength drops to 1 until the end of the turn.

If you defeat the enemy, then you can keep it as a trophy as normal. ( so if it was a strenght 8 enemy, then it's 8 trophy points worth.
