I believe I figured out a good way to do the board in the middle, I think it adds something neat to the game having to constantly move around in order to stay out of the fire. I think with a more developed board game it would be cool to have a set of transparent cards you could put over the grid that maybe have a path that you could follow out of town maybe, but for now it's a static image that doesn't move.

The way I hope it works is you will roll a 1d6 and move in any non-diagonal direction except backwards, so you have to move forward, left or right... this is so you can't cheese it and just move forward and back. Whatever you roll you move that direction, there are benefits to moving and staying in certain areas like +1 to heath or dice rolls (Which really isn't that much of a benefit honestly cause it could hurt you also) But if you are holding a relic that boosts damage to the orb, then this could help a lot with combos.

The final blue square at the bottom is where the difficultly really kicks in. To win the game you need to get the orb health to 1 then you have to roll the dice every turn to place yourself on the blue square to win. So the orbs can't go lower then 1 heath and on every turn there is a chance to heal them... so my hope is this creates a desperate situation where you are trying to move into the right spot while also managing your health and keeping the orbs from healing.
