Dashing Dragons

You are a dragon. A rumor has made it into the dragon domain that your pesky human neighbors have been amassing a horde of sparkling treasures across the magical forest lands that separate your territories.

You and your dragon friends are off to brave the dangers of those magical forests to acquire some of that treasure for yourself! As much as you value your friends, you wouldn't mind getting first choice of the treasure, so a dice-rolling race commences as you dash into the forests.

Beware the dragon hunters along the way! The humans, though smaller than you, have learned how to pack a punch that could send you all the way back home.

Game Play

Goal: The first dragon to reach the Forest Exit wins!

Every round has 3 phases: Player Dragon movement, Dragon Hunter movement, and Battle.

Dragon Movement: Each player rolls the d20 and compares the result to their specific dragon's skill check. If the player rolled high enough, the dragon can move the amount of spaces indicated by its speed. They can use their movement in a variety of ways including: going straight for the exit, avoiding treacherous terrain (potential to take damage), aiming for friendly terrain (safe spaces or healing effects), or avoiding dragon hunters (potential to take damage).

Dragon Hunter Movement: Dragon hunters roll movement via a skill check. One hunter always moves toward the first place dragon, and the other hunter always moves toward the second place dragon.

Battle: If the dragon hunters land on the same space as a dragon, a dice battle begins and may result in the player's dragon taking damage.

If at any time a player's dragon reaches zero health, they return to start and try to traverse the forest again.
