With a thunderous dwarfish battle-cry, that sounds suspiciously like "Elves are pansies" in Common, Bruenor charges the Ibixian. He swings his notched axe, and puts another notch into it. The Ibixian goes down. (he rolled an 18 + 7 bonus easily beats the Ibixian's armour class of 15.) "Tha' be one less sentry we 'ave ta worry about," Bruenor says. As the Ibixian falls, Bruenor is able to take a brief rest, and he regains some energy. (
The Treasure card drawn is Brief Rest - it allows the Hero to regain 1 Hit Point, and to flip over a used power. It is an immediate effect. Bruenor's wound is removed. He hasn't used any Daily or Utility Powers yet, so the second part has no affect.)
But with it's dieing breath, the Ibixian pulls a rope, and a loud crashing and rumbling sounds comes from the trees. It's a Juicer, an insidious trap copied form an old Dwarfen idea. Essentially a large log as the axle for a set of large wood and stone disks, it relentless rolls over everything in its path.
The Juicer does roll to attack, it automatically hits everything on the tile, and then moves on. With a resounding curse Bruenor tries to get out of the way, and is promptly rolled over. As he gets up he sees the device rumbling down the valley to the east, straight towards all his friends. "Incoming!" he yells to them.
