HOMUNCULUS NIGHTMARE: WAVE V

Violenine soundly defeated by Skincoats

If you're just tuning in, Homunculus Nightmare is a printable, creepy scavenger hunt challenge in which a series of hideous monster cards must be defeated by exposing them to their fears! Here's Violentine, for instance, whose mortal fear is to become part of a clay golem for some reason! A contest to defeat every single monster is currently running until someone completes it, and after this batch, there's just one monster to go...the Ultimate Homunculus, and the ultimate Homunculus Nightmare Halloween challenge!

Wave five, the final run of non-boss cards, doesn't pull any punches! These are the foulest, sickest, most heinous Homunculi of them all, and their defeat conditions are some of the spookiest yet. Hopefully you saved at least one of the bonus attacks from previous waves, because a couple of these are extra obtuse! The fun isn't going to end with Halloween, either, because I'm also throwing in a competitive challenge mode below!

COMPETITIVE MODE:

Want to challenge a friend, relative, tenuous associate or mortal nemesis to Homunculus Nightmare? Want to make that especially interesting? Just follow these simple steps!

CHOOSE YOUR MONSTERS - print out any six (or more, if you like!) from the existing sheets, or even design your own. Go for monsters you think your player(s) will have some fun with.

HIDE YOUR MONSTERS - with the player's consent, hide each monster somewhere in their home or workplace. Aim for challenging, but not impossible hiding spots!

PRINT AND FILL OUT THE SHEET BELOW - the sheet should explain the remaining rules clearly enough. Ideally, you should give your player three health per six monsters, and for each monster, provide a different defeat date and clue. Alternatively, however, you can set health to zero and all monsters to the same deadline. Your player just has to find all of them, or else!

The "win" and "lose" conditions must be agreed upon before the game can begin. Maybe the loser has to do dishes, or buy lunch, or let you borrow their wood chipper. Whatever! Just don't break any laws or body parts!

You will also notice the beneficial mini-monsters at the bottom of the sheet. These don't have to be used at all, but you can hide them in particularly cryptic locations for some extra fun.
