Primer:

With the raid on the Carver’s private pumpkin patch completed and Ophilia LaCroix having stolen the most amount of the Carver’s power (Lilith and Titania also taking some) things temporarily have settled back to normal in Malifaux.

While the other “masters” had their own nefarious purposes for the pilfered arcane goods; Ophelia’s involvement was a mystery to all. To her it was simple; everyone else was going there and she wanted to see why.
With her many motes of the power to use as she saw fit to further arcane knowledge, Ophelia simply ate most of them as was her right as Boss.
With this meal came great indigestion for her and her Kin. She even had visions that night of her in the jungle region of Malifaux scaling the heights of a stepped temple.
She has decided to see these visions through and has begun doing some “research”; capturing and interrogating human scholars and explorers, some of which got away.
With the escapes came news of a Gremlin pilgrimages to a temple full of gold or arcane wealth and power.
Many spies are busy these nights in Malifaux and the Bayou. Raids are conducted for supplies and knowledge while all wait and see where Ophelia and her Kin head; some already have ideas where she will go.

 

Tournament Special rules:

-          Each player must pick a Faction and Master and continue with those same two for the entire event; though the rest of the crew may change each game, following the rules for each game.
-          Each game will be 5 rounds and MUST finish 4 rounds of play to be considered Won or Lost, otherwise it will be scored a Draw.
-          Please familiarise yourself with Game one and two scenarios ahead of time.
-          There will be 5 min between rounds.
-          All Schemes are available; choose 2 for each game. You MAY NOT REPEAT the same Schemes in the tournament except A Line in the Sand.

- Players must flip for Attacker/Defender

Game 2: Escort [Masks] - 40 Soulstones – 100 min
Weeks have gone by; the race is on and the crews are moving. They raid each other’s supplies as they make their way South East of Malifaux far past the Bayou towards the Temple.

Game 3: The Temple of Ophidias - 15 Soulstones – 120 min
*Fluff to be given as the game begins

After all; its Malifaux and bad things happen.

***As previously mentioned at the Night of the Carver tournament; if Kerrie, Pennie and Josh use their previous Masters (Ophilia, Lilith, Titania respectively) from Night of the Carver they will get a one-time bonus in the last round of the tournament; draw 2 cards once whenever they want.
