Card Notes
- Wound icon: The printed blood-drop icon appears where the text says a hero recovers or an enemy suffers damage. It is rendered here as "wounds", matching the base game's wound tokens. The icon is inferred from its context, not from a printed word.
- Die icons: The die icons after each action name are rendered as a number of white dice. This follows the base game rule that the active hero gathers one white die for each die icon after an action's name.
- Prepare icon: The circular-arrows icon at the bottom right of Reload and Witchfinder's Respite is the prepare icon, as named in the base game rules. It is shown here as a note on the card, not as text printed on the card.
- Attack icon: The crossed-axes icon in the "+1" text on Reload and Witchfinder's Respite is matched to the crossed-axes symbol on the Attack action badge. It is rendered as "[attack icon]". This is a reading of the icon, not printed wording.
- Unidentified icons: Two icons could not be identified at the resolution of the photographs. They are marked in the text and are not guessed (four card occurrences in total):
- The black three-lobed icon in "apply -1 [unidentified icon]" on Witchfinder's Respite and Burn, Heretic!.
- The black disc icon in "you may claim 1 [unidentified token icon]" on Demand Confession and Seeker's Triumph. It is probably a token, but this is not confirmed from the photographs.
- Hero icons: The number of hero icons on each hero card was counted from the photographs (4, 3 and 2). The health values come from the red medallions.
- Omitted text: The flavour quotations on the Hero and Action cards, including their attributions, are omitted. All other printed card text is transcribed.
