RISE

DEMONs
 Introduction
Ahh salutations Keeper, I see you’ve noticed the new recruits. Yes, seems those Dwarves
opened a portal to Kaos and let through a whole host of demons.

And now that all the Dwarves are dead or fled, the demons are lookin’ for work. So, what
do you think Keeper, shall we see what makin’ a deal with devils gets us?

——————–

This handy little Expansion adds in a number of new units, rooms, and even
mechanics centred around everyone’s favourite: Demons!

From weak little imps to the Happiness inducing Succubi and Incubi to the
awesome game changing powers of the Monarchs. The new Demonic units
have plenty to offer but be careful, they are a strange lot and may not be so
easily controlled as our other Minions…

To properly combine this Expansion with RISE there are a couple of

elements that need to be adjusted.

The first is that the following Enemies are now Holy

• Paladins & Cleric Adventurers (RISE pages 28/29)

• Enemy wielding a Legendary Item with the Holy Trait (RISE page 33)

And finally, a new Hero Trait which replaces the Defender Trait:

Righteous – This Hero counts as Holy and is protected by a 20 STR shield

that recharges at the start of every Round of Combat.

Holy enemies automatically Defeat any Demon they deal damage to.

With that out of the way, best of luck Keeper and may you find your new
Minions to be all that you had hoped.
