Flippable Explorers
Charges
When you take or gain an item that contains a number of charges, place that number of count tokens on that card.
These charges stay on the card regardless if the item is equipped or unequipped, and even if the item changes control.
When the item is destroyed, remove the count tokens from the card.
Flipped Explorer
The sheet shows the explorer's two sides, captioned "Starting side" and "Flipped side".
When you flip your explorer:
- You are at 0 stamina and max health
- Your essence count is unchanged
- Resolve all your «enters play» abilities
Evocations
Some chapters have an evocation indicator that blocks the progress to the next chapter by activating a chapter space.
The evocation chapter has a section for ingredients and another with evocations.
The ingredients section consists of either active abilities or conditional effects. These abilities are resolved only if the chapter has light tokens equal to the ingredient prerequisite number.
The evocation diagram on the sheet is labelled as follows (labels only; the card art is not transcribed):
- Evocation indicator
- Ingredient prerequisite number
- Add 1 "Light token" to this card
- Remove x "Light tokens" from this card
Binding Horror Events
Some horror events have a binding indicator.
When you resolve a binding horror event:
- If there are no monsters in play, skip further steps
- If every monster already has a bound horror event, skip further steps
- Find the first monster in the monster queue without a bound event
- Place this event below that monster's card, revealing only the event's abilities
The event's abilities are now treated as though they are part of the monster's card.
When the monster with a bound event is destroyed, the bound event is also destroyed.
