COTCT 4A

Under the Dangers section it reads “each time you encounter the danger, randomly choose a new Critter story bane.”

What the heck is a critter? Nothing in the story bane decks 0-4 has the critter tag, and none that I noticed are named critter. Was this supposed to be Vermin?

I don't have it handy, but in Core there was a Story Bane Roster on the back of a wildcard.

That was it, thanks! Dunno why I didn’t think to look there.

I have a question as well please. When it says “each time you encounter the Danger, randomly choose a new Critter story bane”, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean you encounter that random Critter instead of the scenario Danger “Collapse”? Thank you!

[Malcolm_Reynolds]

That means any time you are told to encounter the Danger (as by some barriers), you roll on the Critter story bane roster and encounter whatever you rolled. The story bane "Collapse" is not the danger in this scenario; it is a non-closing henchman as defined in the "During This Scenario" box.

Thank you Malcolm. I later realized my mistake about Collapse. Another question if I may. There is no designated Villain for this scenario, however we are instructed to add the Villain Red Reaver to the Shrine. Must we corner the Read Reaver to win this scenario? I presume so, as there are instructions for when one may Guard. If not, must we just close all the Locations? Thanks again!

The default way of winning described in the rulebook is to close all locations or corner a villain. When unspecified, you just need to do one of those.
