Abhoth

Abhoth
How to Awaken Abhoth (Cost 4):

1) Your controlled Gate is in an Area with your Great Old One

2) Pay 4 Power, and place Abhoth min the Area containing the Gate.

Combat: Equals the number of Filth Tokens in play (0-12).

Filth: (Action: Cost 1) Place a Filth Token in any Area. Filth Tokens act as Combat 0 Monsters. They belong to Abhoth's faction, but never move nor take Actions. They can be Killed or Pained normally in Battle, and are affected by spellbooks and abilities.

Spellbook Requirement
Choose One: EITHER your Faction has 4+ different Monster types in play, including Filth Tokens, OR Your faction has 8+ total Monsters in play, including Filth Tokens

Spellbook
The Brood (Ongoing)

Gates in Areas containing Filth Tokens do not count during the Doom phase. Does not apply to Abhoth's Faction.

Strategies
Black Goat can use Filth to safely and easily get her Spellbook Requirements and Yellow Sign can use it to hold down Desecrated Areas. All factions can use them to defend their own gates and seed areas with meat shields for assault. The Brood lets you put your foes on their heels, as they have to spend resources clearing out Filth from their Areas, lead an assault against Abhoth (who may himself be fortified behind a wall of Filth Tokens), or lose Doom points!
