Your screams are choked by gouts of black water spewing from your mouth. Nominate a survivor with the [[Blotted Out]] fighting art to **remember**. If no survivors have Blotted Out, then **Reveal the Horror** and the Slenderman [[Rules/Ambush|ambushes]] the survivors. ### Remember Remove Blotted Out and roll 1d10. | 1d10 | Result | | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 - 2 | Overcome by the violating terror of the figure's unseen presence, the survivor's heart stops.<br><br>The survivor dies.
