THE MONSTERS

MONSTER ACTIVATION

There is no “Monster turn” in the game. The monsters swarming

the circles of Inferno are passive agents in the scenarios. They

are not actively hunting down the Heroes, but will do anything

they can to stop their advance and retaliate against their at-

tacks. Monsters are only ever activated as a reaction to a Hero’s

actions. Their activation is always controlled by the player to the

right of the active player.

 GUARD REACTION

Every Monster in the game guards all Spaces Close to themselves

(see page 13 for an explanation of Close Spaces), and will attack

any Close Hero that lowers his guard by trying to move past

them or by attacking somebody else.

A Hero standing Close to a Monster is considered to be actively

fending it off, until he decides to move or attack.

Triggered by a Move

Whenever a Hero that occupies a Space Close to a Monster

moves to another Space, he triggers that Monster’s Guard

Reaction. This causes the Monster to immediately attack the

active Hero with its listed attack attributes and abilities. The

Monster does not move, it only attacks. Entering a Space Close

to a Monster does not trigger its Guard Reaction, it is only trig-

gered by moving from a Close Space, no matter if the move-

ment is towards the Monster or away from it.

Whenever a Hero’s move would trigger a Guard Reaction in one

or more Monsters, the player to the right of the active player

must perform the attacks of all activated Monsters before the

Hero executes his move. After all attacks are resolved (includ-

ing the Hero’s Defense rolls), then the Hero can perform the

intended move. Always resolve all Guard Reaction attacks trig-

gered by a move before executing the following move.

It is possible to trigger several consecutive Guard Reaction at-

tacks from the same Monster or different ones in the same turn,

if each move the Hero makes leaves a different Space guarded

by the Monster. Keep in mind that using a portal, manipulating

a door, or revealing a Brimstone card does not trigger Guard

Reaction.

Example: Mark is moving heedlessly across the board and trig-

gering Guard Reactions from several Monsters.

1 - On the rst move he triggers the Demoness’ Guard Reaction,

since he’s leaving a Space Close to her. The Demon Pitcher is not

triggered since a closed door isolates it. While Mark is entering a

Space Close to the Harpy, that does not trigger a Guard Reaction.

THE VILE TRIDENT

Every Guild begins the game with one item that can

cause Damnation: the Vile Trident. This weapon can be

used like any normal Melee Attack card, but it also offers

a more diabolical gift. Any time a Hero with the Vile

Trident attacks, even when using a different Attack card,

and even if the Vile Trident is exhausted, he may choose

to roll 1 additional attack die. If he does, the Hero must

take 1 Damnation token.

Example: Mark is using his Dusty Blade to attack a

Harpy. He rolls 1 Hit, which would be enough to kill her,

but he would really like to avoid her Payback Reaction

by getting an Overkill. Normally, it would be too late

to boost his attack since he’s already rolled the dice, but

he also holds a Vile Trident. Gritting his teeth, he takes

1 Damnation token from the supply to roll 1 more die.

Fortunately for him, he rolls another Hit. Unfortunately

for him, the Harpy rolls 1 Defense per Damnation on her

attacker, so since the rolling is not yet done, she gets to roll

1 Defense die in order to try and avoid being Overkilled.
