Family Found Butchered!
Headline


The terror level increases by 1 in light of this tragic news.

A gate opens at the Graveyard, spawning a High Priest.  A clue appears at the Unvisited Isle.

Plus monsters move on black, the High Priest moves to the Rivertown Streets.

Professor Armitage has left town due to the terror level increase.

The first Reckoning card for this gate is Uncertain Future, which causes the discard pile to be shuffled into the Reckoning deck and a new card drawn.  The second Reckoning card is Dark Reward.  Each investigator with a Dark Pact gains 1 Power per Dark Pact he has.

Blood Magic
Environment: Mystic

Investigators who end their movement in the Rivertown streets may choose to delve into dark mysteries using their life force.  They roll dice equal to their current Stamina, and for every failed die, they lose 1 Stamina.  If this reduces them to 0 Stamina, they are Devoured and the player must start a new character.  Otherwise, they gain 3 Clue tokens.

A gate attempts to open at Independence Square but is prevented by a seal.  A clue appears at The Unnameable.

Square monsters move on white, the gate to Another Dimension moves to the Rivertown Streets.  Circle monsters move on black, the Witch moves to the French Hill Streets.
