Dragonlance Scenario:
Battle of Qualinost

Scenario Book - - - BATTLESYSTEM

The armies of the evil Dragon Highlords are
sweeping across the face of Krynn. All who resisted
their inexorable march have been destroyed.

The elves of the ancient kingdom of Qualinesti
know that they do not possess enough strength to halt
the onrushing hordes of dragons and their allies, and
have reluctantly decided to abandon the ancient elven
homeland and retreat to safer shores.

But even this evacuation is threatened by the swift
advance of the dragon armies. Three evil armies
menace the elven kingdom, and may soon block
off all hope of safety.

A party of brave heroes have set forth on a perilous
mission to mighty Pax Tharkas (see DL2 DRAGONS OF FLAME).
This mission, if successful, should
distract one of the dragon armies. The other two
thrusts are coming from the north, however, and the
small Qualinesti Army must be divided into the First
and Second Armies in an attempt to delay the
advance of the dragonarmies so that their people can
escape.

The Dragonarmy Red Wing Four's advance has
been delayed, so the elves have a chance. Red Wing
One, the largest of the invading armies, is driving
straight for the elven capital, Qualinost. Only the
Second Qualinesti Army stands in the way.

This is the battle that will determine the fate of the
Qualinesti elves. Porthios Guildleaf, son of the ruler
of the Qualinesti, is commanding the elven army.
Verminaard, Dragon Highmaster of the Red Wing, is
determined to see the race of elves wiped from the
face of Krynn.

This battlefield has several elevations, and is mostly
forest. Use the 3-D ADVENTURE FOLD-UP
figures and the suggestions in THE ART OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL GAMING to
create the battlefield. Since the field is mostly forest, you may
decide to mark only the clearings, and not the forest.
Set the Second Qualinesti army up first, followed by
REd Wing ONe. Units can begin in any allowable
formation. Spells can be precast, and flying creatures
may start the battle in the air. This battle takes place
during the daytime.

You will need to record the passage of Game
Rounds in this battle to determine victory conditions.

The Second Qualinesti Army wins the battle if,
after twelve Game Rounds, no more than twelve
enemy figures have moved off the south end of the table.

Red Wing One wins the battle if,
after twelve Game Rounds, at least twenty friendly figures have
moved off the south end of the table.

Any other result is a draw.

This battle uses all BATTLESYSTEM Basic,
Intermediate, and Advanced Game rules.

Special Rule 1: To MOVE figs off the field, they
must first be moved to the southern edge of the
battlefield during their Movement Phase and stop
there, even if they have additional movement
remaining. On any following Movement Phase, the
owning player declares that the figures are leaving the
table. Set aside such figures until the end of the battle,
then count them to determine the victor.

Routed evil figures cannot leave the table by the
south edge.

Special Rule 2: Kapak Draconians have the ability
to poison their swords with their venomous saliva.
The unit of kapaks can envenom their swords by
spending one complete Game Round without moving
or fighting. The draconians can be attacked by magic
or missile fire without preventing the envenoming;
however, if the unit routs, the weapons cannot be
poisoned during that Game Round. The kapak poison
paralyzes its victims for 2-12 rounds. The swords,
once envenomed, stay poisoned for three Game
Rounds, even if they are used in melee.

Special Rule 3: Both types of draconians can take
their weapons in their mouths and drop to all four
limbs while charging. This is the 15" movement rate
shown on the rosters. Draconians can gain normal
charge bonus in addition to this movement, and can
attack normally after completing a charge.
