driving them into battle while brandishing their terrible frigid polearms.

enemies, or to enclose them. This can take the form of a wall up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and a foot thick, or
a hemispherical dome 20 feet in height. The wall can be breached with a Daunting Athletics check, or by
dealing 10 or more points of damage in a single attack. The barrier is unnaturally frigid: non-demonic creatures
in Engaged range of the barrier, or enclosed within it, suffer 3 wounds per turn from the brutal cold)

battle against any foe. Brachyuru demons are massive, scaly humanoids with two sets of arms: one pair at the
shoulders, ending in huge, crushing claws, and another pair emerging from their chest, with nimble, clawed
fingers. Their heads resemble a hideous cross between a dog and a goat. Their legs end in savagely clawed
feet. Every part of a brachyuru can, and is, used to attack.

a blasphemous word of power. The target must succeed at a Hard Discipline check or be staggered until the
end of its next turn. If the target succeeds, it is immobilized instead. In either case, the target suffers 4 strain)

Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Pierce 2, Vicious 2)
Gorgul Demon (Nemesis) – These demons are grotesquely obese, flabby creatures with wide, bulging eyes,
absurdly large ears, oversized mouths, and extremely long, thin arms. While their appearance is somewhat
comical, gorgul demons are terrifying opponents. They use their long arms to snatch opponents and shove them
into their gaping mouths, where they are swallowed whole. A gorgul's stomach is transparent, so the gorgul can
watch its prey digesting in its corpulent belly. They take enormous joy in this, emitting a continuous high-pitched
giggle while grabbing for their next victim.
Soak: 6 Wounds: 30 Strain: 20 M/R Defense: 0/0
Skills: Brawl 3, Cool 3, Resilience 4, Vigilance 3

Advantage or Triumph to swallow the target. While swallowed, the target is immobilized and begins to suffocate,
and suffers 4 wounds at the start of its turn each round until it escapes or is Incapacitated. A target Incapacitated
this way is digested and unrecoverable. A target may be freed by dealing at least 5 wounds to the gorgul with a
bladed or piercing weapon in a single attack, allowing the target to escape the demon’s belly. A gorgul’s belly will
reseal itself at the start of its turn. A gorgul can swallow up to two Silhouette 2 creatures, 8 Silhouette 1
creatures, or any number of Silhouette 0 creatures at one time. Anyone seeing a friend or ally trapped within the
belly of a gorgul must make an Average fear check as an out-of-turn incidental)

non-demonic creatures within Medium range must make a Hard Discipline check at the start of their turn as an

Equipment: Claws (Melee; Damage: 8; Critical: 3; Range [Medium]; Accurate 1, Ensnare 3)
Malithar Demon (Nemesis) – Beautiful and lethal are the two words that best describe malithar demons. They
have the heads and torsos of exceedingly beautiful women, with six arms, and a long, powerful serpentine lower
body. They wield a weapon in each of their hands, preferring swords. While they are highly effective in battle,
malithar most often act as captains for demonic hosts, as lesser demons crave malithar approval and will follow
their orders eagerly.
Skills: Coordination 3, Cool 3, Leadership 2, Melee (Light) 4, Vigilance 3
Magic Resistance (a malithar upgrades the difficulty of any magic skill check targeting it by one)

difficulty of its attacks to activate auto-fire, can activate auto-fire with 1 Advantage, and its initial target does not
need to be the target with the highest difficulty and defense)
Constrict (if a malithar Ensnares a target with its tail, it may use a maneuver to constrict the target. While
constricted, the target is immobilized, and suffers 3 wounds per round at the start of its turn. A malithar can
maintain constriction by spending a maneuver each round to do so, but cannot use maneuvers to move while
doing so, and cannot make tail attacks. A target may escape the constriction by succeeding at an opposed
Athletics check)
Equipment: Demonic Swords (Melee; Damage: 8; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged], Defensive 1, Pierce 2, Vicious
2, Auto-Fire), Tail Lash (Melee; Damage: 10; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged]; Ensnare 3)
Valroth Demon (Apex Nemesis) – These huge, fiery demons are the greatest of their kind. They appear as
massive horned figures wreathed in infernal fire and writhing shadows, wielding a huge flaming sword and a
cruelly barbed whip. Many serve as champions and executioners for their infernal masters. All other demons
obey their commands, and they often lead hordes of demons into battle.

Talents: Adversary 2 (upgrade difficulty of all combat checks against this creature twice)

blazing aura)

whip, and may spend 2 Advantage or Triumph to hit with each additional weapon)

closer, to a minimum of Engaged. While a target is Ensnared, the valroth cannot use its whip to make attacks)

Vicious 2), Barbed Whip (Melee; Damage: 12; Critical: 3; Range [Medium]; Ensnare 3, Pierce 2)
Giants
Cyclops (Nemesis) – Cyclopes are colossal, one-eyed giants with a single large horn protruding from their

ends. If it fails, the target is turned to stone and indefinitely Incapacitated. This may be dispelled by an ally with a
successful Hard Arcana check, or the character may be restored by a successful Hard Heal check (using
Divine or Primal). Potential targets may avoid the basilisk's gaze by tightly closing their eyes or averting their
gaze. In either case, while avoiding the basilisk's gaze, a target is treated as if it is suffering the Blinded Critical
Injury)
Equipment: Bite (Brawl; Damage: 7; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Pierce 2)
Bat, Giant (Rival) – These creatures are large and aggressive nocturnal predators. Giant bats are often found in
caves and shadowy forests. They use their powerful sonic attacks to cripple and bring down prey from the air,
then land to feast on their helpless victims.
Skills: Brawl 2, Perception 4, Ranged 2, Stealth 3, Survival 2, Vigilance 3
Talents: None
Blindsight (giant bats are unaffected by darkness penalties as long as they can hear)
Flyer (Must spend one maneuver per turn to stay aloft)

Beetle, Giant (Rival) – Giant beetles are a common threat found in nearly every non-arctic environment. Some,
like fire beetles, are a valuable resource to fledgling adventurers. While most are similar in nature, the specific
abilities of different types of giant beetles are described below.
Skills: Brawl 3, Coordination 2, Stealth 2, Survival 2
Talents: Swift (a giant beetle does not spend additional maneuvers to move through difficult terrain).
Bombardier Beetle: These giant beetles are aggressive hunters, and are feared for their ability to spray a blast of
super-heated caustic fluid when attacked.
Abilities: Bombardier beetles may use their Brawl skill to attack with their Caustic Blast.
Equipment: Mandibles (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged]), Caustic Blast (Brawl; Damage: 6;
Critical: 3; Range [Short], Blast 6, Burn 3, Concussive 1, Slow Firing 2)

and carrion eaters, but will aggressively attack anything they consider a threat. Their huge mandibles are deadly.
Abilities: None
Equipment: Scythe Mandibles (Brawl; Damage: 8; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged], Pierce 2, Vicious 2)
Fire Beetle: The luminous eyes of fire beetles continue to provide smokeless illumination for days after the

Abilities: None
Equipment: Mandibles (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Burn 2)
Black Slime (Rival) – Tireless, mindless, and eternally hungry, black slime is one of the most feared perils of the
deep places of the world. The potent acid of its seething form dissolves everything but stone.
Skills: Brawl 2, Perception 2, Vigilance 2
Abilities:
Slime (a black slime is immune to blindness, deafness, any mind-affecting ability or skill, acid, or knockdown)
Amorphous (as an incidental, a black slime may increase or decrease its silhouette by 1)
Wall Crawler (a black slime may move along walls or ceilings without needing to make an Athletics check)
Flailing Pseudopods (A black slime does not increase the difficulty of its attacks to activate auto-fire, and its initial
target does not need to be the target with the highest difficulty and defense)
Corrosive Form (any weapon or object not made of stone that strikes a black slime is immediately damaged by
one step. Any creature not made of stone that succeeds in a Brawl attack against a black slime suffers 6
damage. Any armour made of metal, wood, or leather that is struck by a black slime is immediately damaged by
one step (in addition to its pseudopod's Sunder quality). A black slime may spend Triumph on an attack roll (or
Despair on an enemy's roll) to immediately destroy an enemy's metal, wood, or leather weapon or armour)
Equipment: Pseudopods (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged], Auto-fire, Burn 2, Sunder)

attack check to automatically hit the opponent with a tail sweep attack for base damage)
Equipment: Rending Claws (Brawl; Damage: 8; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Pierce 3, Linked 1), Crushing Bite
(Brawl; Damage: 12; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged]; Pierce 4, Vicious 4); Tail Sweep (Brawl; Damage: 10; Critical:
4; Range [Short]); Concussive 1, Knockdown)
Cave Fisher (Rival) - These subterranean arachnids resemble large, flat, stone-coloured scorpions with eight
legs and two large, shearing claws. They lurk in elevated places in caves and caverns, dangling transparent
filaments to ensnare prey. When a living creature blunders into a filament, it is quickly reeled up to the cave
fisher to be dismembered and devoured.
Skills: Athletics 2, Brawl 3, Ranged 2, Stealth 3, Vigilance 3
Talents: None
Dark Vision (a cave fisher suffers no Perception penalties even in complete darkness)
Wall Crawler (a cave fisher may move along walls or ceilings without needing to make an Athletics check)
Anchored (a cave fisher may use a maneuver to anchor itself. While anchored, it is immune to forced movement
and knockdown. It can anchor itself to a floor, wall, or ceiling. It cannot take maneuvers to move while anchored.
It may cease being anchored as an incidental)
Filaments (A cave fisher extrudes a long, transparent, highly adhesive filament to capture prey. It requires a
Hard Vigilance check to notice a cave fisher filament. A target that touches the filament is automatically
ensnared. A cave fisher may also shoot its filament out to capture prey, though this is not its preferred method of
attack. A filament can be escaped with a Hard Athletics check, or severed by dealing 5 wounds to it [Soak 3].
Severing a filament does not injure a cave fisher. A cave fisher can extrude a replacement filament on its turn as
a maneuver)
Reel (if a cave fisher Ensnares a target with a filament, it may use a maneuver to drag the target to itself)
Equipment: Claws (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Linked 1, Pierce 1), Filaments (Ranged;
Damage: 0; Critical: 6, Range [Medium], Ensnare 3)

anything).
Skills: Athletics 2, Brawl 3, Ranged 2, Stealth 3
Talents: None
Abilities: Flyer, Silhouette 2
Multiattack (a chimera does not increase the difficulty of combined checks to attack with its claws, bite, and
horns, and may spend 2 Advantage or Triumph to hit with each additional weapon. If its fire breath is available to
use, a chimera may use that instead of its bite or horns)
Equipment: Claws and Bite (Brawl; Damage: 7; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Vicious 1), Horns (Brawl;
Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Knockdown), Fire Breath (Ranged; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range
[Short], Blast 6, Burn 2, Slow Firing 2)
Coeurl (Rival) – This creature resembles a huge, six-legged black panther, with two long, spiked tentacles
protruding from its shoulders, and terrible glowing eyes. Also known as the “black destroyer”, the coeurl
magically displaces light, appearing to be several feet away from its actual position... which is usually closer than
you think.
Skills: Athletics 2, Brawl 3, Coordination 2, Perception 3, Stealth 3
Talents: None
Night Vision (a coeurl suffers no Perception penalties at night)
Displacement (while it is not incapacitated or staggered, a coeurl gains 4 dice of concealment from its
displacement ability. When an enemy takes a maneuver to engage a coeurl, it must succeed at a Hard
Perception check as an incidental; if it fails, it engages the coeurl's displaced form rather than the creature
itself)
Agile (a coeurl can perform a second maneuver to move without suffering strain. It still cannot exceed the limit of
two maneuvers in a turn)
Multiattack (A coeurl does not increase the difficulty of combined checks to attack with its tentacles and jaws,
Equipment: Tentacles (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Short], Ensnare 2, Linked 1), Bite (Brawl; Damage:
7; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Vicious 2)
Dreadgazer (Apex Nemesis) – A dreadgazer is a malevolent spherical being 10' in diameter, armour plated,
with a huge central eye over a drooling maw of sharp teeth. Ten smaller eyestalks emerge from its surface,
peering angrily about in all directions. It moves by hovering silently through the air. Cruel, paranoid, and highly
intelligent, the dreadgazer is one of the most terrifying enemies adventurers can face.
Skills: Arcana 4, Brawl 3, Cool 3, Discipline 3, Perception 4, Resilience 3, Vigilance 4
Flyer (the dreadgazer automatically hovers at all times unless incapacitated or killed, and is immune to
knockdown. It can also fly, and has no height range limit, but it costs one maneuver for each range band)
Terrifying (upon first seeing a dreadgazer, a character must make a Daunting fear check with the difficulty
upgraded once, to reflect the alien nature and frightening reputation of the creature)
Darkvision (the dreadgazer is unaffected by low light conditions or complete darkness)
Anti-Magic Field (as an incidental, the dreadgazer may aim its central eye at a target within Long range. That
target, and anyone within Short range of that target, is unable to use magic skills, and magical properties of
items become non-functional. The dreadgazer may not target foes affected by Anti-Magic Field with Eye Blast
that turn)
Eye Blast (as an action, the dreadgazer may attack with three of its eyestalks, selected at random [reroll any
duplicates], against one to three targets within Long range. The dreadgazer suffers no penalty for targeting
creatures at Engaged range. Each attack is an average Arcana check.
1) Charm Ray – the target takes no damage, but must make a Daunting Discipline check as an out-of-turn
incidental. If it fails, it is controlled by the dreadgazer until the end of its next turn. The dreadgazer may choose
the target's maneuvers and actions, but while affected, the target is disoriented.
2) Paralyzing Ray – the target takes no damage, but must make a Daunting Resilence check as an out-of-turn
incidental. If it fails, it is immobilized and staggered until the end of its next turn.
3) Fear Ray - the target takes no damage, but must make a Daunting Discipline check as an out-of-turn
incidental. If it fails, it must spend its next turn using all maneuvers and actions to flee away from the dreadgazer.
4) Slowing Ray - the target takes no damage, but must make a Daunting Resilence check as an out-of-turn
incidental. If it fails, on its next turn the target may only use one maneuver, cannot downgrade its action to a
maneuver, and cannot change range bands. The target also suffers three Setback on any actions it takes.
5) Enervation Ray – this attack deals 8 damage, with a Critical Rating of 4. The target must make a Daunting
Resilence check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it fails, it suffers additional damage equal to half of its remaining
Wounds, and suffers an equal amount of Strain.
6) Telekinetic Ray - the target takes no damage, but is immobilized until the end of its next turn, and must make
a Daunting Resilence check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it fails, it is moved one range band in a direction of
the dreadgazer's choice. The dreadgazer may spend 3 Advantage or Triumph on the check to move the target
an additional range band. It may do this more than once.
7) Sleep Ray - the target takes no damage, but must make a Daunting Discipline check as an out-of-turn
incidental. If it fails, it falls asleep for four rounds. The target is awakened early if it takes damage, or if another
character engages it and takes an action to wake it.
8) Petrification Ray - the target must make a Daunting Resilience check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it fails, it
is immobilized and disoriented until the end of its next turn, when it may make another Daunting Resilience
check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it succeeds, the effect ends. If the second check fails, the target is turned to
stone and indefinitely Incapacitated. This may be dispelled by a successful D aunting Arcana check, or the
character may be restored by a successful Daunting Heal check (using Divine or Primal).
9) Disintegration Ray - the target must make a Daunting Coordination check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it
fails, the attack deals 16 damage with the Pierce 5 and Vicious 5 qualities, and a Critical Rating of 2. If this
attack incapacitates the target, it is considered disintegrated into dust; no resurrection is possible. lf the target is
a Silhouette 2 or smaller non-magical object or creation of magical force, it is disintegrated. If the target is a
Silhouette 3 or larger object or creation of magical force, this ray disintegrates a l0-foot sphere of it.
10) Death Ray – the target must make a Daunting Coordination check as an out-of-turn incidental. If it fails,
the attack deals 16 damage with the Breach 1 and Vicious 5 qualities, and a Critical Rating of 2. A living target
that is Incapacitated by this attack dies immediately.

Evil Eye (Nemesis) – An evil eye appears as a large, disembodied eyeball hovering in the air. Instead of lids,
the creature has a chitinous, flesh-coloured carapace covered in long, movable spines. “Evil Eye” is what these
creatures are called by adventurers; the true name of the species is unknown. What is known is that they come
from another world, possibly another universe, and that their goal seems to be to enslave all species to their will.
They seem particularly fond of using minotaurs as their slaves of choice.
Skills: Arcana 4, Brawl 3, Cool 2, Discipline 3, Perception 3, Vigilance 3
Flyer (the evil eye automatically hovers at all times unless incapacitated or killed, and is immune to knockdown.

vampire is slain in its resting place while Incapacitated, it is destroyed)
(Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged]; Pierce 3, Vicious 3), Fine Sword (Melee (Light); Damage: 7;
Critical: 1; Range [Engaged]; Accurate 1, Defensive 1)
Will O' Wisp (Rival) – Will o' wisps are evil undead vestiges that manifest as small, glowing balls of light. They
feed on fear and despair, and frequently lure travelers into dangerous environments or monster lairs to feed on
their fear. Skilled magic users can sometimes extract the essence of a fallen wisp to create a lightstone.
Skills: Brawl 2, Deception 3, Stealth 3
Talents: None
Deceptive Illumination (A will o' wisp can shed light out to Medium range, or as little as Engaged range. It can
appear as candlelight, torchlight, or virtually any form of luminescence it chooses. It can change the range of its
illumination, or its appearance, as an incidental)
Invisibility (As an action, a will o' wisp may turn invisible, extinguishing its light. It may sustain this invisibility by
spending a maneuver to concentrate each turn. It cannot remain invisible if it attacks)
Consume Life (Once per turn, a will o' wisp engaged with an Incapacitated creature may attempt to consume its
life as an incidental. The creature must make an Average Resilience check or die immediately. If the creature
dies, the will o' wisp regains 6 wounds)
Equipment: Shock (Brawl; Damage: 6; Critical: 3; Range [Engaged], Stun 4, Vicious 1)
Wight (Rival) – Wights are undead warriors whose lust for battle is stronger than the grave. They are frequently
found haunting the tombs, cairns, and barrows where they were once laid to rest.
Skills: Athletics 1, Melee (Light) 3, Perception 2, Vigilance 2
Talents: None
Life Drain (each time a target is wounded by a wight, it must make a Hard Resilence check or have its Wound
and Strain threshold reduced by two until the next sunrise. If either threshold is reduced to zero, the target dies.
It will rise as a zombie under the control of its killer at the next nightfall)
Sunlight Vulnerability (a wight exposed to natural sunlight suffers 2 Wounds per turn until it is out of the sunlight.
If reduced to zero Wounds, it collapses into dust)
Equipment: Sword (Melee (Light); Damage: 6; Critical: 2; Range [Engaged]; Defensive 1), Shield (Melee (Light);
Damage: 3; Critical: 6; Range [Engaged]; Defensive 1, Deflection 1, Inaccurate 1, Knockdown), Ancient
Platemail (+1 Defense, +2 Soak)
Wraith (Rival) – When a supremely evil person dies, they sometimes leave behind a malevolent echo of
themselves, known as a wraith. Wraiths exist only to destroy life. Their incorporeal nature and life-draining
attacks make them terrifying opponents.
Skills: Brawl 2, Cool 2, Discipline 2, Stealth 3
Talents: Finesse (a spectre may use Agility instead of Brawn for Brawl and Melee attacks)
Life Drain (each time a target is wounded by a wraith, it must make a Hard Resilence check or have its Wound
and Strain threshold reduced by two until the next sunrise. If either threshold is reduced to zero, the target dies.
It will rise as a spectre under the control of its killer at the next nightfall)
Sunlight Vulnerability (a wraith exposed to natural sunlight suffers 2 Wounds per turn until it is out of the sunlight.
If reduced to zero Wounds, it dissipates into grey smoke)
Equipment: Draining Touch (Brawl; Damage: 3; Critical: 1; Range [Engaged]; Breach 1, Special)
Zombie (Minion) – Mindless and relentless, zombies stagger slowly towards any living creature they see. Their
only impulse is to kill. They present little challenge in small numbers, but they are often accompanied by
necromancers, or more powerful undead.
Skills (group only): Brawl, Vigilance
Talents: None
Abilities: Undead (an undead is immune to poison, disease, and sleep, and needs no air, water, or food to
survive)
Mindless (a zombie is immune to any mind-affecting ability or skill)
Equipment: Bite (Brawl; Damage: 4; Critical: 4; Range [Engaged]; Vicious 1), Claws (Brawl; Damage: 3; Critical:
5; Range [Engaged])
