A dark offering for the gods.

Source: Book of Ruin

Attacker & Defender​

If only one gang is Chaotic, then that gang is the attacker. Otherwise, the gang who chose this scenario is the attacker, the other is the defender.

Battlefield​

Standard.

Crews​

  • Attacker: Custom (10)
  • Defender: Random (D3+3) + Reinforcement

Tactics Cards​

  • Custom (2).
  • Underdog (starting crew cost): +1 random per 100 credits.

Deployment​

Standard.

Reinforcements​

  • Defender: 1.
  • Each End phase (starting on the 2nd round).

Sacrifices​

The attacker is seeking to stain the ground with a blood offering.

Defending fighters taken Out of Action are not removed from the battlefield. Instead the fighter becomes a ‘downed fighter’:

  • Apply a Lasting Injury as normal.
  • Still considered Out of Action (no longer becomes Ready).
  • Can't make any actions for any reason.

Other fighters can spend a double action to drag a downed fighter up to a single Movement distance.

Attacking fighters B2B with a downed fighter can spend a double action (Blood Ritual) to gain a Blood token. The fighter must immediately pass a Toughness test, or be removed.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends when at least 1 condition is true:

  • Only one gang has fighters remaining (at the start of a round).
  • The end of round 9.

Victory​

The attacker wins if having 5+ Blood tokens when the battle ends, or being the last remaining gang. Otherwise the defender wins.

  • +1 for taking part.
