Giant Eagle

## Event

*As you are walking one day, a large shadow passes over you. Looking up, you see a giant eagle swooping down towards you!*

Choice:

    Wait to see what the bird does.

        *The bird picks you up and carries you to far-away lands.*

        **If you don't have the card's token already:**

            *After flying for a while, you see a monastery high up in the mountains. From your vantage point in the eagle's strong grip, you can just make out a rough, overgrown trail leading up to it.*

            **Gain card's token.**

        **One of the following:**

            \* *The great bird passes over the town of Stiegal. Someone in the arena audience recognises you and a cheer goes up from the crowd!* (Need to have gotten The Crucible's token.)

            \* *The great bird carries you over an ancient, dusty-looking maze in the desert. A huge creature stomping about the twisted corridors spots you and roars furiously.* (Need to never have killed the minotaur.)

            \* *The great bird carries you over an ancient, dusty-looking maze in the desert. The rotting carcass of the minotaur has already been stripped down to little more than bones.* (Need to have killed the minotaur.)

            \* *The great bird carries you over the deserts, and you see that the body of the Bandit Queen has already vanished beneath the sands.*

        *The wind whips furiously past you as the eagle continues to climb higher.*

        Choice:

            Struggle to get free.

                **2 Success:**

                    *With a piercing cry, the bird flings you into the empty air. Luckily, you land in a wagon full of hay.*

                    **Get to an adjacent tile.**

                **2 Failure:**

                    *With a piercing cry, the bird flings you into the empty air. You fall heavily through the roof of a barn, scaring some chickens.*

                    **Draw 1 Pain Card.**

            Wait until it gets tired.

                **1 Huge Success:**

                    *Eventually, after many hours, the eagle drops you into a small lake, in a far-away land.*

                    **Get to the next level.**

                **1 Huge Failure:**

    Hide.

        **2 Success:**

            *With an ear-splitting screech, the bird swoops past, then flies into the distance and disappears from view.*
