Reading This Transcription

Each card is headed with its printed title. The number in the title bar and the 1x, 2x, 3x or red X badge in the lower right corner are copied as printed; the card text does not say what they mean.
Edge icons, the red or coloured pips along the card edge and the Location-type symbols beside the text are not transcribed.
Card backs (the "ENCOUNTER" skull) carry no rules and are not transcribed.
Each card gives its BGG photo number so the transcription can be checked against the photograph.

Card Count and Duplicates

22 card fronts are photographed: 18 Guardian Encounters (15 different Guardians, plus the Pale Lady, which appears in three photos as two versions) and 4 non-Guardian Encounters.
That makes 21 distinct card texts. The Pale Lady appears three times. Photos 6362718 and 6362720 show identical text (version B). Photo 6362716 shows a different version (version A), with different numbers.
Gamefound's product description says the pack has 20 cards. The 22 photographed fronts are not reconciled with that number here; the photos are the only source used.
Card backs are not transcribed.
