MICE AND MYSTICS: THREADS OF FATE

Contents of this expansion set (if this were real):

(1 Chapter Book maybe): 1 mouse hero figure, 8 Ant figures, 6 Shrew figures, 1 Scarab figure, 1 Scorpion figure, 1 Toad figure, 22
Search Cards, 15 Ability Cards, 14 initiative cards, 1 Velvet character card, 9 encounter cards, 1 blockade token, 6 cheese tokens, 4
trap tokens, 2 charm tokens, 4 petrified markers, 4 famished markers, 1 serpent coil token, 1 groa token, 4 Fate Dice, 1 Ascetic
token, 1 Berserker token, 1 Golem token

NEW STATUS
Threads of Fate introduces two new negative effects called petrified and famished.

When a mouse is petrified it can neither move nor take an action. While the mouse is petrified it may not be targeted by any attack
that uses the mouse’s Defense Value, attacks that would normally select this mouse for an attack moves on to the next available
target. If there are no other available targets, the mouse is captured instead. The petrified mouse cannot be affected by other
negative effects while petrified The petrified marker remains on that mouse’s card until either all minions have been removed from
the initiative track, or until another mouse moves into the same space as the petrified mouse and spends their action to recover for
the petrified mouse.

When a mouse is famished, it is in danger of devouring its own supply of cheese. At the beginning of the turn, when rolling for that
mouse’s movement, if the die shows a cheese then add one cheese token to the minion wheel. Additionally, when rolling attack or
defense rolls, if any of the dice rolled show a cheese icon, remove any die from the set rolled before executing their effects. To
remove the famished marker, the mouse must spend a recover action and in doing so, sacrifice a cheese token from their personal
supply and then place that token on the minion wheel.

Important Note: Tilda may use her ‘Draw Empathetic Power’ when a fellow mouse receives either a petrified or a famished token.

NEW MOUSE HERO

Threads of Fate introduces a new mouse called Velvet. Players may now choose this mouse even when playing chapters from
another Mice and Mystics story book.

VELVET: TINKERER/SCAMP
(1 Attack, 2 Defense, 3 Lore, 3 Movement, 2 Hearts)

Supreme Agility: When moving, Velvet may ignore traps and yellow lines. She may also cross a red line for 3 points of movement.

Starting Equipment: Swinging Whip, Throwing Knives, and Midnight Cloak*

Velvet has long learned that discretion is the better part of valor. Where others are strong, she is spry. Where others are bold, she is
prudent. As the smallest of her siblings, Velvet has always been more fragile than other mice, and so has had to learn vast measures
of cunning and artifice to survive. Over time, she gained a certain talent and knack for using various devices, which has helped keep
her safe. Though she retains her vulnerability, she carries with her a clever array of equipment that more than make up for her
shortcomings.
NEW INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Berserker: The first mouse to inflict 3 or more damage in one attack with a melee attack earns the blood lust achievement. Place the
Berserker token on that mouse’s character card.

Effect: When attacking a minion in the same space with a melee attack, they may replace one of their action dice with the War Die.

Marksman (revised): The first mouse to roll 3 or more bows in one attack with a ranged weapon earns the marksman ahivement
Place the marksman token on that mouse’s character card.

Effect: When attacking a minion with a range weapon, they may replace one of their action dice with the Nature Die.

Golem: The first mouse to be captured with a petrified token on its character card is now considered a living statue. Place the living
Golem marker on that mouse’s character sheet.

Effect: This mouse adds one to their defense rating, but reduces their movement rating by one, until the end of the chapter.

Ascetic: The first mouse to be captured with a famished token on its character card is now considered an Ascetic. Place the Asccetic
marker on that mouse’s character sheet.

Effect: This mouse only needs five pieces of cheese to perform the level up special action

NEW DICE
Threads of Fate includes a new set of four fate dice (and one extra action die). The fate dice are used alongside the action dice, and
are used in certain rolls for more varied effects. As the fate dice have different faces to the action dice, they will change the
probability of certain rolls. In effect, they represent when a piece of equipment is lucky, cursed, or otherwise more useful in a certain
situation.

[NB: Normal action dice have the following faces: (1) Cheese, (1*) Bow, (2) Bow, (2*) Sword, (3) Sword/Shield, (3*) Sword/Shield].

 The War Die (red) has the following faces: (1) Cheese, (1*) Sword, (2) Sword/Bow, (2*) Sword /Bow, (3) Sword/Sword, (3*)
Sword/Shield.
 The Nature Die (green) has the following faces: (1) Cheese, (1*) Bow, (2) Bow/Shield, (2*) Shield, (3) Bow/Bow, (3*)
Bow/Shield.
 The Mystic Die (blue) has the following faces: (1) Cheese, (2*) Cheese, (2) Star, (3*) Shield, (3) Shield/Shield, (3*) Star.
 The Cursed Die (black) has the following faces: (1) Cheese, (2) Skull, (2) Sword, (2) Bow, (2*) Sword/Bow, (3*) Sword/Bow.

EFFECTS OF NEW SYMBOLS

 Star: The star allows you to duplicate the icon of another Action Die (do not duplicate numbers or *, they will remain
unchanged).
 Skull: The skull causes the mouse to become famished, place a famished marker on the mouse’s initiative card.
NEW AND REVISED SEARCH CARDS
Threads of Fate includes a handful of new search cards, which are designed to replace existing versions of the same name. These
cards are intended to be used with the new fate dice effects.

NEW MINIONS
Threads of Fate introduces a large variety of new minions. These minions are not intended to be exclusive to any particular
campaign, and so may be mixed in with any chapter.
