Power: The Father of Serpents - While Yig stirs in his slumber, he gains a doom token whenever a Cultist is defeated or an investigator is Lost in Time and Space. When a gate opens (including during setup), each investigator must pass a Sneak (+2) check or be Cursed. Reduce the modifier by 1 for each open gate.
Start of Battle: All Cursed investigators are devoured. Then all remaining investigators are Cursed.
Attack: Each investigator must pass a Speed (+1) check or lose 1 Sanity and 1 Stamina. This check's modifier decreases by 1 each turn (+0 the 2nd turn, -1 the 3rd turn, etc.) If the results of an investigator's skill check include two or more 1s, he loses 1 Sanity and 1 Stamina. If the investigator is devoured as a result, no successes are scored and he fails the check.
