Opportunity Cards
Each card's printed text is given below, followed by its reward banner.
Foul Nemesis
Search the bane stack for the Fishback bane unit and add it to the bag. If it is already in the bag, this Opportunity is immediately completed.
Reward: Special Tactic – Damascus Steel
The hero found this axiom one to live by: "When facing the Fishback, throw the fish back."
Forge of the Lion
Reduce your hero's Attack by 1 (either removing a yellow die or downgrading any other color).
Reward: Special Unit – Farouk the Smith
Source note: the card's flavour text is only partly visible in the photographs and is omitted. The BGG promotional artwork for this card reads "Reduce your hero's attack stat (either reducing the die or eliminating a yellow die)"; the printed card in the publisher's photograph reads as given above, and that wording is used here.
