Custom Scenario to break in our new Step Pyramid with Sacrificial pit!
Pyramid is 2" XPS foam with XPS foam bricks. The steps are made from 4-8" long sections that can be used as risers or to build a smaller pyramid (I'm a sucker for modularity). The central pit pieces were leftover from a tower project I made last year; I just had to use them for something like this. The pit is 6" diameter and 6" deep and the very top can be removed and replaced with a flat 8"x 8" square tile that makes the top of the pyramid into a flat surface, concealing the pit underneath (that way we can play a normal step-pyramid scenario)
---------
The Scenario: "The Zany Ziggurat"
1 treasure token placed at the top of the pit per player, 1 other treasure per player placed elsewhere around the board.
Pushing a figure into the pit automatically reduces the figure to 0 health and gains bonuses for the push-er:
wizard/apprentice: -1 TN to casting rolls
soldiers/NPCs: +1 to Fight rolls
the first time a figure is pushed in, an imp spawns on a random table edge
the second time a figure is pushed in, a minor demon spawns on a random table edge
the third time a figure is pushed in, a major demon spawns on a random table edge and the central treasure token spawns at a the edge of the pit where the figure fell in.
Any figure that is pushed (losing a combat, 'push' spell, etc) while standing on the top level of the pyramid is automatically pushed into the pit.
+50xp if a figure is pushed into the pyramid
+50xp if the wizard stands on the top level of the pyramid
+30xp if the apprentice stands on the top level of the pyramid

We just made this up on the fly, so it's by no means balanced, but it was a blast!
