MEAS Hazard Events

Name Rarity MPs Event Type

A Lie in Your Eyes R2 Short-event

Playable on an untapped non-Ringwraith, non-Wizard character. Your opponent may either: tap the character, tap an ally the character controls, or choose for you to make a roll (draw a #). If the result is greater than the character's mind plus 6, the character is discarded (along with all cards he controls).

Alone and Unadvised C3 Permanent-event

Corruption. Playable on a non-Wizard, non-Ringwraith character in a company with 3 or fewer characters. Target character makes a corruption check at the end of his movement/hazard phase for each region he moved through. All of his corruption checks are modified by adding the number of characters in his company. During his organization phase, the character may tap to attempt to remove this card by making a roll (drawing a #) - if the result is greater than 6, discard this card. Discard this card if his company has 4 or more characters. Cannot be duplicated on a given character.

Come at Need C2 Permanent-event

Playable if you have an ally in your hand. When this card is played, place one ally from your hand "off to the side" with it (the ally gives no marshalling points). The ally must be able to be attacked. If an opponent's company moves to a site where the ally is playable, it faces a single-strike attack (with no type) with the attributes of the ally, except the prowess is increased by 7. The attack is detainment if the ally and the company are both minion or both hero; and this card is discarded afterwards. If defeated, discard this card and place the ally in your opponent's marshalling point pile - he receives the ally's marshalling points as kill points. You may return the ally to your hand and discard this card during your organization phase.

Early Harvest C2 Short-event

Playable on a faction that is normally playable at a Border-hold (except Army of the Dead). Make a roll (draw a #) modified by -1 if the faction is a minion faction. Return the faction to opponent's hand if the result plus the normal marshalling points the faction gives is greater than 12.

Enchanted Stream C3 Permanent-event

Playable on a moving company with at least one Wilderness in its site path. A ranger in the company can tap to cancel this card before it resolves. The company cannot voluntarily split or move to a new site unless it taps all of its untapped characters to a maximum of two during its organization phase. Discard during any organization phase if the company is at a Haven/Darkhaven.

Fealty Under Trial C2 Short-event

Playable on a minion in a Darkhaven or Barad-dûr. Make a roll (draw a #) adding the marshalling points (as though they were stored) and corruption points of all items and events played with target minion. All items and storable events played with target minion are then automatically stored (no corruption checks are made). Then, if the result was greater than 15, discard the minion (and all other cards played with him).

FEAR! FIRE! FOES! C3 Short-event

Playable on a Free-hold or Border-hold. An additional automatic-attack is created at the site this turn: 5 strikes with 8 prowess (detainment, no attack type).

Ride Against the Enemy C3 Short-event
