Question on Heirs of Blood Intro Quest

Where do you escort the clergy?

I'm not understanding it.

As far as I know, the character with the acolyte, just remains there, adjacent to each clergy to gain a maximum of 100 gold for the quest.

I know it isn't a winning condition, but is this all you do, while the other three characters, fight off the monsters?

Thanks for any replies!

That's essentially correct. For maximum gold, the hero escorting the Acolyte needs to end each turn adjacent to one of the villager tokens, at which point the token is removed from the map. He could still move away a few squares, shoot at something and then move back again though (bearing in mind the reduced speed penalty from the Acolyte).

You don't have to do anything else with the clergy - each time one of the villager tokens is removed from the map the task is completed for that individual and you've earned your gold at the end of the quest - the instruction to 'place the token in the heroes' play area' is just to make it easier to keep track of how many tokens you've saved at the end for adding up the gold :)

Awesome, thank for this. I start my campaign as overlord tomorrow. This helps tremendously.

Thanks again!
