āIt was in the sky. A definite point among the stars had a claim on him and was calling him. In the morning it had been underfoot; afternoon found it rising in the southeast, and now it was roughly south but wheeling toward the west.ā
Ā Ā āH.P. Lovecraft,Ā The Dreams in the Witch House
You thought your mission was simpleādiscover the fate of four missing persons who disappeared from a charity event hosted by the social elite. But at every turn, you have been forced to face truths more terrible than anything you could imagine. And now, after what you saw at the Unvisited Isle, your faith in humanity is on thin ice. You feel as lost and wayward as one of the spirits that haunt your every moment, whether awake or dreaming. Are you going mad? Is this what the world is now? Or has it always been this way?
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announceĀ In the Clutches of Chaos, the penultimate Mythos Pack inĀ The Circle UndoneĀ cycle forĀ Arkham Horror: The Card Gameānow available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website!
VII ā¢ The Chariot
The conquest has begun. All shall tremble before the host of chaos. Submit or perish.
After your fateful investigation inĀ Union and Disillusion, the state of the city continues to decay. Breaches in reality begin to rip through the fabric of the Earth, and a faint melody of discordant pipes can be heard throughout the streets of Arkham. Tendrils of mist reach out of the woods that border the town, stretching over Hangmanās Brook and crawling through the streets. Windows are shut tight, and if you didnāt know any better, you would swear that the place was a ghost town. Everyone is closed in, safe as possible, waiting for something to happen. Except for you. Always you.
As you face down the darkness withĀ In the Clutches of Chaos, doom does not accrue at the usual rate. Instead, breaches are made at various locations likeĀ French HillĀ (In the Clutches of Chaos, 290) and marked by resource tokens. When enough breaches have been made at a single location, in this case Arkhamās richest and most historical neighborhood, an incursion occurs! An incursion adds doom to its location and causes the breaches to spread, opening rifts in reality at connecting locations.
As an investigator, your goal is to prevent these incursions by removing the breaches that cause them, but this can only be done by activating the dangerous action abilities on each location. Returning to French Hill, you must discard a card from your hand to move a breach from the location to the current act. If you don't maintain control over the breaches, you may soon find yourself overwhelmed and Arkham will fall into madness. Naturally, you cannot allow that to happen.
Call for Reinforcements
Most of Arkham has locked their doors and shuttered their windows against the coming storm, but there are still those who will stand alongside you in your fight to save the city. An experienced Guardian can call for someĀ Agency BackupĀ (In the Clutches of Chaos, 274). With more health and sanity than any other GuardianĀ Ally, this brave band will protect not only your investigator, but your entire team, taking damage or horror for any investigator at the location. Beyond just using the agency as a human shield, you can also put their skills to use. By dealing them damage, you can harm a nearby enemy; or by dealing them horror, you can quickly discover a clue. If you step into the shoes ofĀ Leo AndersonĀ (The Forgotten Age, 1) and act as anĀ Inspiring Presence(The Pallid Mask, 228) for yourĀ TrustedĀ (The Forgotten Age, 19) allies, you can become a nigh unstoppable force that any enemy would be mad to go up against.
While Guardians may be happy to run into a situation with guns blazing, Mystics tend to prefer a more practiced approach. With the assistance of the powerfulĀ Dayana EsperenceĀ (In the Clutches of Chaos, 279), Mystics can store theirĀ SpellĀ events, like the upgradedĀ Deny ExistenceĀ (In the Clutches of Chaos, 280), waiting for the opportune moment and having thisĀ WitchĀ cast them instead. In this way, they are protected from the discard pile, as Dayana can cast them time and again on your behalf.
In this adventure, you may wish to stick together, but with breaches erupting across the city, you may have no choice but to split up. Still, there is one class that is used to being alone. If you take on the role of a hardened survivor, you gain access to a new event in the form ofĀ Trial by FireĀ (In the Clutches of Chaos, 281), which allows you to set the base value of any one of your skills to five for your turn. Now, you can fill whatever role your team needs for a single vital turn, whether that means clearing clues from a location with high shroud or dealing the final blow to a particularly nasty enemy. The ordeal of this mission will push you to your limits, forcing you to endure more than any mortal should have to bear, but there is no telling what you are capable of until your team and the rest of your city turns to you in search of an answer. When you are their last hope, you cannot fail them.
