My reality is just different to yours... ‘here is 2 tale about a long-forgotten underground level oF the hospital shared between the oldest living patients of the asylum, During the construction of the basement, the crew encountered a cave which had access to an underground river. The men saw something shine underwater and tried to recover it. They did not come back for a long while, and somebody called the warden, After arriving, he quickly decided to seal off the site and. cover it with cement. It was almost as he knew that something even scarier thin him I remaining constriction workers didn't agree with the ‘warden's decision, and those who resisted hardest soon ‘became the asylums newest patients. Most ofthe basement has been sealed for years but often, at night, whispers and inhuman screams can be heard coming from the deep. ‘underneath. The Introduction From the Deep isa modular expansion set. Players can choose to use all it's elements or just the ones they want to. The idea behind the monsters, artifacts and ancient rituals contained in thie expansion set is to make the gameplay even more challenging, but also reward the characters for their effort accordingly IntroductionContent Component List - This Rulebook (The From the Deep Manval) 1 Philip Howard miniature with Character Card, 4 Basic Skills and 10 card Memory Deck ~30 Deep One miniatures with a Monster Card - Dagon miniature with a Monster Card 4 Siren miniatures with a Monster Card ~10 Ritual Cards ~ 30 Anifact Cards =15 additional Inventory Cards 4 two-sided Small Boards ‘Module Descriptions 1.

During the game setup, place the shuffled Artifact Deck next to the Inventory Decks. Artifact cards ean be used and traded in the same way as other Inventory cards and take up Inventory space as normal). The only exception is that a character can only carry a ‘maximum of 1 Amtifact at a time. When they draw en another Aifact, the player choses one to keep and must discard the other. When players acquire an atifet through defeating Dagon, they draw it from the deck and may choose any one character to place it in their inventory (obeying Inventory and Artifact limits) regardless of where they are fan Ansifact is a reward for a ritual Snished on a Small Board (representing the underground) chen only characters that are currently on any of the Small Boards can put i in their inventory, ‘Whenever players need to chose which one gets an Artifact, they rust be decisive: If they eannot agree on @ decision in 1 minute, then che Artifact is disearded and gone forever. v 4, The Summoning of Dagon Module Please note that this module requires that the Deep Ones module isalso used, but Deep Ones may be used without Dagon. lace Dagon's Monster Catd next to the board.
