Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) – Lair of the Wyrm

About this expansion

Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) – Lair of the Wyrm is an expansion for 2–5 players, with adventures designed for sessions of approximately 120 minutes. Released in 2012, it adds new quests, heroes, monsters, and Overlord options to the fight for Terrinoth.

The Quest Guide introduces five new quests. Play them individually or use them to supplement a larger campaign, with objectives that go beyond straightforward combat. Heroes may need to rescue survivors from a burning inn or protect valuable ore from a greedy ettin.

• Two new heroes: Reynhart the Worthy and High Mage Quellen.
• New threats: Fire Imps, flying Hybrid Sentinels, and the Wyrm Queen, a Dragon Lord lieutenant formed from solidified flame.
• New Overlord class: Punisher, featuring abilities such as Trading Pains and Exploit Weakness.

Reynhart is a fearless warrior who can reroll misses once per attack, helping him make his strikes count. High Mage Quellen is a master of body and mind who can recover quickly from exertions and feed off the fatigue of those around him to gain strength.

Meanwhile, the Overlord gains destructive Fire Imps and cruel, flying Hybrid Sentinels that prey on the weak. The Punisher class makes heroes pay for every inch they advance, turning apparent moments of good fortune into potential danger.

Lair of the Wyrm also integrates with the Road to Legend app on Android, Apple iOS, and Steam, adding another way to experience these Terrinoth adventures.
