--Hunt Mission-- - --Looming madness-- - Before you lies a vast courtyard leading to an imposing castle. As the castle comes into view, you see a radiant and ominous light pulsing from deep within one of the high towers. You feel dazed and confused. Becoming overwhelmed, you rush to the nearest cover, a stone statue of melded writhing flesh and eyes. You start to recover from the madness that assaulted you. We must find the source of this treachery; we must find our way inside, though the path is not clear. You hear a ringing off in the distance as you step forth.... - Reveal Card 2 - End a move on the Barred Window tile: Reveal card 3--Introduction-- - The Scholars of Mensis studied the arcane mysteries of the cosmos in Yahar'gul, the unseen village. It is rumoured that they, through great effort and "unspecified" sacrifice, made contact with a Great One. Upon finding a withered corpse with a cage on their head, typical of those particular scholars, you found yourself being torn from the waking world, and sent straight into a nightmare. What horrors and Madness await you in this strange place?**Start here for info dump** - - Sets required!

Chalice tile set ( all)

He will prioritize running away at >>> instead of attacking unless in arena. Mob ×3 are lamp spaces for the purposes of teleporting 		**Authors notes** - red cards are hunt missions, insights are white, completed missions are Green, special rules / set up cards in blue. - shorthand index: - [BM] = blood moon. [H] = The # of player hunters. [B] = blood, or damage, [en1] Enemy slot 1 on hunters dream board. - I tried my best to make things as close to cannon as could be, by using actual characters from the game, even though 3 of them don't get any lines and don't appear in Nightmare of Mensis area, I dug up what motivations I could from the wikis on their factions. - I have played it with a group! it is quite difficult, but very doable. I tried to balance by giving lots of powerful rewards, and it's mainly tuned to a 4player banancing, as that's how I usually play with my friends. It may need retuning for solo or small groups, but I think it should be fine. To anyone interested in trying it out, I hope it A: works for you, and B: is fun! I tried a few different things than the base set, as most expansions have a 1 off mechanic or 2. Feedback is welcome, please repply to my reddit post!

You confort her as best you can, knowing that there are likely more trials to come. You now stand at the base of the very tower you presume to contain the cause of all this madness.

I too came here to seek what madness the Mensis scholars brought upon the world. We had sent an intelligencer to spy on their doings in Yahar'gul ages ago but we lost contact.

The script is written with a Scholars flourish and you can't make out more than a word or 2, aside from one that keeps repeating.... "Micolash". Upon showing it to Yuri, she exclaims alowed. "unthinkable! Absolute bastards these Mensis scholars are, and yet they've done something incredible.

He begins to back away."Don't worry, I'll ensure you leave... sooner or later...I'll be in touch" And with that he slinks away into the castle.

If he cannot, he will then prioritize running left or right from that direction. He may Reveal tiles with this this movement. If he runs into a complete dead end (Lever gate), he will instead turn around, attempting to run past the player.

The light fades as you descend, and you see there is another lift attached to the chain next to you, but it's too dark to see if it's occupied. Several more moments pass, and finally the lift slows to a stop. You can see nothing around you, only the black abyss. As you step forward out of the lift, you hear a soft squelching sound in the distance ahead. You can see nothing, not even the ground beneath your feet.

--Insight Mission-- - --Make Contact-- - You stand before this foul looking ruinous mass of flesh and eyes incredulously. Could this really be any semblage of a Great One as Yuria suspected? You decide there isn't much harm in trying, as the creature doesn't seem hostile to you down here in the abyss. You replicate the gesture and hold it for what seems like an age, staring nervously at one of its gargantuan eyes. Suddenly you feel a connection deep in your mind. You cannot understand what, if anything, is being communicated. you are slightly dazed as you end the pose tought by Yuria. You feel oddly invigorated, as if something incredible has happened. Should you trust it? Can we let this beast alone down here in this abyss? is it still a threat? Is it possible for it to be harmless if it was indeed the source of all this madness? - Reveal card: 101 - Choose 1 - attack: Reveal card 95 - Leave: Reveal card 97

Staying your hand, you turn to leave. Eventually finding your way back to the lift, there appears to be a pile of valuables laid in front of it. You look around in the dark, but see nothing.
