He also can’t use Dark Exchange if it would increase the despair track past 6. It is also good because of course he earns courage for killing them, plus since Dark Exchange doesn’t count as an attack, he ALSO gets to attack that turn! However, it comes at a price – he has to increase the Despair track by 2-3 points (an amount equal to the demon’s circle). This is amazingly handy in the early game, when these demons are particularly difficult challenges. His other abilities also stem from black magic use – Dark Exchange lets him instantly kill a second or third circle in his area as an action. John’s starting Familiar Spirit ability helps make up for his low starting health – when he kills a minion, this ability lets him choose to bump up his health, instead of taking courage. His occult powers, however, make him a force to reckon with. At least he has Toughness 3, which helps him to survive the Limbo minion attacks. John Dark’s AbilitiesĪt first John Dark may seem weak, with a 1d4 attack and only 4 health. Also notice that under his feet, instead of the normal hero base, he casts the shadow of a limbo glyph – foreshadowing his ultimate fate. If you examine his miniature figure, you can see his demonic familiar, whispering into his ear. He is not sure if this will, in the end, be enough to save his soul. Now he fights alongside the other heroes, trying to stop the demonic invasion. During the lead-up to Hell’s rising, he managed to make contact with a demon lord, and actually sold his soul! Over time, he realized his horrible error, and as he sees the terrors that the diabolic forces have unleashed, regrets his choice. ![]() Before the apocalypse, he was interested in the occult. John Dark has an exceptionally dire backstory. More About John Darkīy Sandy Petersen | | BLOG, Design Corner, Planet Apocalypse, Sandy's Design Corner | 1148 Views John Dark Though while fighting him it’s convoluted enough for three normal lords.Īnd no, I’m not going to admit where I got the names for his three doctors. Geryon is more straightforward, in a way. As you may recall, Baphomet & Tarasque can set heroes on fire, while Jabootu permanently reduces their attack dice. This courage can be used after you flee, to buy gifts, or to help your friends while they are whaling away at the lord.Īt least fighting Geryon doesn’t have after-effects, unlike Baphomet, Jabootu, and Tarasque. Really the only silver lining in Geryon’s miasmic cloud is that you can earn a lot of courage while fighting him, at least if you are targeting the Howards. But Lord Geryon has the equivalent of 29 health! Of course, you can kill Geryon’s bodies one by one, but this doesn’t decrease his 6d10 damage a bit – it just costs one of his bonus attacks (draining luck, courage, or extra health). For example, in a 4 player game, Lord Tarasque has 15 health. One of the issues fighting Geryon is that because of his three bodies, he has a LOT of health. Fine hurting him must be its own reward). Of course Geryon has a Reward too – a hero earns 1 courage per point of damage he inflicts on a Howard (though not Dr. As with Geryon’s menace, a hero who is out of luck or courage loses health instead. Howard survives, an injured hero loses 1 courage. Fine is alive, then the victim loses 1 extra health. Howard is alive, then an injured hero loses 1 Luck. ![]() While Geryon does not attack three times (only once), the effect of the attack differs with which bodies are surviving. Howard has the most health, followed by Dr. Geryon’s three bodies each have their own health total, which are not equal. A hero without courage and/or luck must pay health instead. Geryon’s Menace is simple enough – to enter its Hell Time, you must simply pay its threefold price – 1 luck, 1 courage, and 1 health. Geryon is composed of three separate heroes, all doctors. But our Geryon is an entity of terror.Īll the demon lords ostensibly came about by the transformation and inversion of one of the fabled occult heroes, originally trained to stop them. ![]() Geryon is of course named after the three-bodied herds-thing of Greek myth.
