Fourth Circle (Gather Power): Lose 1 Power during Gather Power for each Fourth Circle Terror loyalty card you own. (whether or not the unit is currently in play)
Robbery (when spawned): Each time the Raparee is placed on the map, each enemy player must take 1 of their Elder Signs (if any) and place them on the Doom track. When the Raparee is eliminated or killed, each enemy player chooses one of these Elder Signs, randomly, and returns it to their store.
Availability: Pack of the Pit {PA-E3} (x1), Raparee Blister Pack {RPG-PA-30} (x1)
A sort of arachnid formed of human parts, the raparee is a robber. Not of material goods, but of spiritual ones. It steals your luck, your courage, and other aspects that you had heretofore thought inaccessible to the forces of evil.

Hortator 1 2 3

How to Obtain the Hortator Loyalty Card: Pay 2 Doom and 2 Power to obtain this Loyalty Card, then place the Hortator at your controlled Gate.
Fourth Circle (Gather Power): Lose 1 Power during Gather Power for each Fourth Circle Terror loyalty card you own. (whether or not the unit is currently in play)
Exhort (Battle): If the Hortator is in a battle, add +1 combat die for each other different type of unit you have present. Example: if you have 5 cultists, 2 nightgaunts, (both combat 0) and a Hunting Horror (combat 2 ) present, along with the Hortator, you'd roll 2 (Hunting Horror) + 3 (Hortator) + 0 (nightgaunts & cultists) + 3 (three unit types) for a total of 8 dice.
Availability: Pack of the Pit {PA-E3} (x1), Hortator Blister Pack {RPG-PA-31} (x1)
Pounding on a howling living drumskin, the Hortator inspires all the forces of Hell within earshot to frenzied obedience.

Is Orobas the withered, helpless being on top, slowly dissolving into the throne? Or is that being simply the throne’s latest victim, duped by the promise of hellish glory?
