Hunger in the Dark


 * }

Synopsis
The Heroes travel into Dreisdunkel Mine to destroy the Bile Troll altar. To do this they have to find explosives and bring them along with them in a Mine Cart. Their journey takes them through abandoned mine systems, pitch-dark shafts and ancient caverns.

Mine Cart Event
After making your way through the Backfill, you will find a mine cart the players need to take with them throughout the mission. On straight and uphill sections of the track, the cart is rolled forward by standing close to it, so always keep one or two players next to the cart. At certain points, a Lever needs to be pulled to allow the cart to continue. Once the heroes get further into the mine, they will need to gather three Explosive Barrels from nearby caves to fill up the cart. Once that is done, the heroes can continue by pulling another lever. Throughout the mission the heroes will sometimes lose the cart and find it a bit further on, relieving them of having to push the cart all the time. Take note that if players abandon the cart while pushing it upward, the cart rolls back and has to be pushed up again.

Finale
The mine cart will need to be escorted uphill while a constant horde featuring numerous Specials and Elites attacks. Eventually it will come to rest at the altar, and you will be given a prompt to ring the "Dinner Bell." Doing so summons a Bile Troll. The party has the choice of fighting and killing the troll, or immediately escaping across the bridge the troll came from. After the bridge collapses and the heroes escape up a ramp leading to the cave exit, multiple Bile Trolls escape from their pens, but the mine cart explodes, killing the trolls instantly.
