1. I think it's time we went on a little... hunting trip.

1.1 "DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE..."

ExpandOutcome A battle ensues between the hero and the companion with the player controlling the companion, who is given the Grimblade. You need to defeat the hero, and afterwards will be able to give the Grimblade to any member of your party.

1.2 "<Companion>, this is <Hero>! The real <Hero>! I'll die too! You don't want that, do you?"

ExpandOutcome A battle ensues between the hero and the companion with the player controlling the companion. The companion starts the battle with +2 Injury and is given the Grimblade. You need to defeat the hero, and afterwards will be able to give the Grimblade to any member of your party.

2. Back to our beds for now.

ExpandOutcome Dismiss the opportunity.

Trivia

The "haunted" hero must have the inhabited hook to trigger this event. Afterwards, the following text will be added to their History:

The foul presence inhabiting <Hero>'s body was banished thanks to the bold action of one of their stalwart companions in <Party Name>.

Tips

• Even in Adventurer difficulty, a miss or two could result in a Mortal Choice and a failed event, so guaranteed damage is key to a safe victory.
  • Mystics may find it helpful to know that Interfused Blazes deal a guaranteed 8 damage at the start of the main hero’s turn while wielding the sword during the fight.
