Combat Encounter Setup

About Storyteller: March of the Damned, from BoardGameGeek:

Storyteller is a co-operative boardgame with one Game Master, called the Storyteller, and up to three other players called “Adventurers”. The Storyteller is the player who controls the enemies in the game, and who narrates the story and encounters throughout the game, all of which are written on their own cards. The Adventurers engage in different encounters across the world, either combat or exploration. Combat encounters are solved using an Adventurer’s skills, attributes and items. Exploration encounters are less harmful, and mostly involve a short riddle, or a decision to be made that has immediate consequences. —description from the designer
