## Description
Get ready for more danger and glory in Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) with Lair of the Wyrm! This expansion introduces five new quests that can be played individually or woven into a larger campaign, adding that extra spice to your adventures. Imagine having to rescue people from a burning inn or protect a valuable ore shipment from a greedy Ettin – brand new challenges await you! Lair of the Wyrm also boosts the hero roster with two new additions: Reynhart the Worthy, a warrior who seems to have a pact with luck and rarely misses a strike, and High Mage Quellen, who recovers from exertion as if it were nothing, drawing energy from others. But don't get too excited, because the Overlord also gains sinister reinforcements. The Wyrm Queen and her lieutenant, the fiery Dragon Lord, arrive to sow chaos, accompanied by mischievous Fire Imps and flying hybrids, who are the personification of evil. And to make the heroes' lives even harder, the Overlord's new class, the Punisher, specializes in making players suffer with every step they take, with abilities that punish their advance. If you enjoy diving headfirst into epic quests, battling fantastic monsters, and testing your tactics against a relentless enemy, Lair of the Wyrm is the right choice to expand your Descent experience. The expansion is also compatible with the Road to Legend app, if you're looking for an integrated digital experience.
