Viking Landing

Viking Landing is one out of three Starter Expeditions. It focuses on Status, but can still offer some benefits to players seeking other benefits. The player is sent here to look for a boat belonging to the famous explorer Leif Eriksson.

Introduction
The player is given the opportunity to read the game's tutorials and play the tutorial encounters. These can be skipped.

Layout
The island is small, containing around 15 event nodes.

Nodes

 * This expedition will always contain exactly 1 Supplies node, giving 3 additional Supplies.
 * The island will always contain exactly 1 out of 3 available Treasure nodes.
 * If the selected Treasure node is the Goody Hunt event, the island will contain 2 empty nodes, one of these being the Hidden Hoard and the other the Treasure location. For the other Treasure nodes, there will be only one empty node, which will contain the Hoard.

Goody Hunt
The crew finds a cryptic note and tries to decipher it. You can start an engagement with some locals or ignore them (winning the engagement might help you with deciphering the note).

After winning the encounter, you get the location of a treasure of your choice: the Nordic Bracelet, the Brooch in Urnes Style or Celtic Leaf.

Turf House
A Viking Committee poses a challenge. When passing the challenge, you have a chance to receive:
 * Green Runestone
 * Dragon Head
 * Viking Helmet

Finale
The expedition is over when the crew reaches the Viking Boat. Here, the player's rival, Matthieu Rivaleux has already arrived to take away any valuables ahead of the player, and sends one of his crew members to keep them busy. This is a level 2 Encounter with either Tommy or Cassandra. Depending on the henchman chosen and the Attitude in which the player ends the encounter, they are given either no bonus, 1 Campaign token, or 2 Campaign tokens and a permanent +1 bonus to each character's Attack Power (for Tommy) or Speech Power (for Cassandra). In each case, the player finds a treasure map, which has different options depending on the classes present in the player's crew:
 * At least one Scientist: Another antiquity site nearby gives 2 Study tokens and a 33% chance for each of the three Treasures listed in the other options.
 * At least one Scout: A difficult-to-reach area gives 2 Collect tokens and a 75% chance of getting the Viking Drinking Horn Treasure, and 13% of each of the others.
 * At least one Fighter: A treasure is buried deep underground gives 1 Collect and 1 Campaign token and a 75% chance of getting the Ulfberht Sword Treasure, and 13% of each of the others.
 * At least one Speaker: To know everything there is to know gives 2 Campaign tokens and a 75% chance of getting the The Leprechaun Treasure, and 13% of each of the others.
