Sequence of Play

Phase 1 - Storm Strike

If your hero is in Azyr:

• Respawn at any Storm Strike location that does not already have another hero.
• If that location contains Chaos Champions: roll the Combat Die for each.

Phase 2 - Chaos Activation

1. Draw a card from the Chaos Deck.
2. If the card shows New Foes: if a Stronghold does not already have a Chaos Champion, draw one from the bag and place it there.
3. If the card shows Movement: for each designated Chaos Champion:
   • If already in a space with heroes: combat occurs.
   • Otherwise: move along arrowed routes. If the champion enters a space with a hero, combat occurs.

Phase 3 - Hero Activation

Stage 1 - Quest (movement and combat):

1. Roll the Quest Die to get Quest Points.
2. For each Quest Point, you may:
   • Move one location (costs 1 Quest Point).
   • If entering a space with Chaos Champions: combat occurs (costs 0 Quest Points).
   • If you begin the turn in a space with a Chaos Champion: spend Quest Points to move or initiate combat.

Stage 2 - Explore:

• If at Whispering Keep (can only enter if carrying Gateway Shards):
  • Place your Gateway Shards.
  • Gain 5 Hero Tokens for each shard just placed.
  • Return to Azyr.
• Otherwise, if no Chaos Champions are present: take the Quest Card for your current location if one is available.

Stage 3 - Receive Gift of Sigmar:

Spend 3 Hero Tokens to reclaim a discarded Quest Card.
