#Monster #Nemesis #N3 #People_of_the_Lantern #People_of_the_Dreamkeeper #core #GCE ## Intro >There was once an entity that knew everything, but never spoke. For every secret that escaped, it became weaker and its enemies stronger. ## Nemesis (Skip Hunt) Departing survivors do not have a Hunt phase. Instead, select the The Hand monster level (it should be 1 greater than the last Butcher encounter) and setup the showdown accordingly. ## Special Rules If an AI or Hit Location card has Red Eye, Blue Eye or Green eye logo, only apply those effects, special rules, or changes to the card type for symbols the monster has gained. Otherwise, ignore those rules. ## AI Deck: ### Instinct: >**The Penalty** >The Hand points at a random survivor. They must roll 1d10. On a 1, your skull crushes your brain, you die. >Otherwise, your ribs suddenly twist inward to puncture your heart. If you have no survival, you die. Otherwise lose all survival and suffer the Broken Ribs severe body injury. ### Level 1: | Level | B | A | L | Mov | Tgh | Spd | Dmg | | :---: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | | 1 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 14 | +0 | +0 | - S: Red Lens: Closed - S: Blue Lens: Closed - S: Green Lens: Closed - S: Ghost Step - S: Polarized Aura - S: Applause - S: Impossible Eyes ### Level 2: | Level | B | A | L | Mov | Tgh | Spd | Dmg | | :---: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | | 2 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 15 | +1 | +1 | - S: Red Lens: Closed - S: Blue Lens: Closed - S: Green Lens: Closed - S: Ghost Step - S: Polarized Aura - S: Applause - S: Impossible Eyes ### Level 3: | Level | B | A | L | Mov | Tgh | Spd | Dmg | | :---: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | | 3 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 6 | 30 | +3 | +6 | - S: Red Lens: Closed - S: Blue Lens: Closed - S: Green Lens: Closed - S: Ghost Step - S: Polarized Aura - S: Applause - S: Impossible Eyes - S: **[[Indomitable]]** ## Showdown setup ![[The Hand Board Graphic.png]] #### Terrain & Deployment - 1 Giant Stone Face terrain card, place in the green spaces. - 1 Stone Column terrain card (3 columns), set up normally. - 1 random terrain card, set up normally. - Place The Hand in the center (red) of the board, on top of the Giant Stone Face. - Place survivors in the blue zone. - **The survivors are defending their home.
