Wrath of Nitocris – Arkham Horror 3rd Edition scenario

Wrath of Nitocris
Then we saw the vast pyramids at the end of the avenue, ghoulish with a dim atavistical menace
which I had not seemed to notice in the daytime. Even the smallest of them held a hint of the ghastly -
for was it not in this that they had buried Queen Nitocris alive in the Sixth Dynasty; subtle Queen
Nitocris, who once invited all her enemies to a feast in a temple below the Nile, and drowned them by
opening the water-gates?
H.P. Lovecraft - 'Under the Pyramids'

Overview
In Wrath of Nitocris, investigators explore an ancient evil with ties to a dark Egyptian past. It comes
with 10 new Codex cards (referenced as WN Codex cards), 12 new event cards and a new 6 card
anomaly deck, Echoes of Decay. To play Wrath of Nitocris, take cards 1-6 of any anomaly deck and
take cards 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 16 from the Approach of Azatoth and cards 1, 2, and 3 of the
Veil of Twilight scenarios. Shuffle the cards and place the event cards in the event card holder. When
you read an event card, reference the ‘Approach of Azatoth’ (AoA) or ‘Veil of Twilight’ (VoT) event
card number (at the bottom right of the card) with the Wrath of Nitocris cards and read the text of
these new ‘cards’ instead. This process is the same for the Anomaly Deck. The Unstable Space from
the ‘Approach of Azatoth’ and ‘Veil of Twilight’ scenario cards can be maintained, only the text is
substituted.
SPECIAL RULE: when 6 clues are on the game board, the next clue spawn token provides $1 instead.
Set the game board up as indicated below. Note that Northside and the Merchant District have only
one Street Tile connecting with the rest of the board.

Codex Card WN1: Sand and Dust

A stifling heat has descended over the sullen streets, which seem suddenly riddled with quaint
travellers from the faraway Orient. The Steam Ship 'Dawn of Osiris' anchored at the Arkham River
docks the day before after a difficult journey from Port Said. Among its cargo were some truly
impressive antique artefacts for the Museum exhibit 'Shadows of the Sphinx', the centre piece being a
sarcophagus from the 6th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
Yet whispers abound of something more sinister aboard the ship than mere historical keepsakes.
Some old and unknown evil is said to have landed in Arkham as a stowaway, eager to plot anew its
ancient, terrible purpose..

Once three clues are added to the scenario sheet, add card WN2 to the Codex

Once five doom is added to the scenario sheet, add card WN4 to the Codex.

Codex Card WN2: An Ancient Curse

Piecing together fragments of information puts you on the trail of a curse involving the frightful
pharaoh queen Nitocris. Just as your forays into deciphering the mystery are about to bear fruit, one of
your team members goes missing, presumed kidnapped. Thousands of years later, the enigmatic
pharaoh queen still casts a spell over those that cross her path.
The investigator that researched the third clue leaves the game for now. They have been kidnapped
by the followers of the cult of the dead queen. All money, items (apart from unique investigator
items), spells and allies go to a newly selected investigator, who gets starting items but no starting
money. Remove the kidnapped investigator figure from the game and place the new investigator
figure on the starting space for this scenario: La Bella Luna. Note that the missing investigator is not
dead. Skills focused do not transfer but remnants do. The new investigator may perform two new
actions.

You deduce there are 5 possible locations that might yield a breakthrough in the case. Take the red,
blue, and green marker and two white markers. Shuffle them and place them face-down on the
following locations:

River Docks, Hibb's Roadhouse, Arkham Aylum, Observatory and Train Station. Before an
investigator has an encounter on these spaces, first check the following:

If it is a white marker; an anonymous benefactor wants to help you in your difficult plight. Perform an
INFLUENCE test. For each success, you gain $2. At three successes, you also gain an ally.

If it is a green marker; remove the marker and add card WN5 to the Codex.

If it is a red marker; remove the marker and add card WN6 to the Codex.

If it is a blue marker; remove all markers and add card WN7 to the Codex.
Wrath of Nitocris – Arkham Horror 3rd Edition scenario

Codex Card WN3: Queen of Ages Past

' Though buried alive by her enemies thousands of years ago, Nitocris' vengeance knows no mortal
bounds. From the sarcophagus, her mummified remains rise, her haunted firelit eyes seeking a mark
for her dark revenge. Spawn the Ghoul Priest monster card at the unstable space. This is deathless
Nitocris, Queen of Egypt (for this scenario, the Ghoul Priest monster card represents the Mummy of
Nitocris). She moves 1 space, has [1 + Elite*1] Wounds, Strength Modifier: -3, and Evade Modifier:-
1.
She causes 2 Damage and 2 Horror and her target becomes CURSED when attacked. Attacks Player
1.
Once defeated, gain one remnant and remove one doom (if any) from the scenario sheet and flip this
card.

[Back of card:]

A hollow, agonizing shriek is followed by a terrible, white-hot flash of light so bright you have to
close your eyes. When you re-open them, only a scorpion remains that quickly scurries away. Yet you
might not have seen the last of the pharaoh queen, as her evil has not dissipated from the world
completely. She is plotting her return.

[Reckoning: Perform a WILL test. If you fail you suffer one horror.
Once all investigators have performed the will test, flip this card]

Codex Card WN4: The Withering

You seem unable to gain the advantage over the restless spirit of the dark queen. Things are not
proceeding smoothly and you sense your every move is being watched. A vengeful presence haunts
your very bones.

All investigators gain either one Horror or one Damage.

Once there is 11 doom on the scenario sheet, add card WN8 to the Codex and remove this card.

Codex Card WN5: The Anointer

You enter the esoteric shop of Aziz El Shafi, the sage healer of Arkham. There are objects reminding
you of Egypt's past all around: The eye of Horus, the Ankh, miniature pyramids and sphinxes. The
smell of incense is prevalent.
'Ah traveller’, the store owner speaks, ‘I see a weight pressing down on you. The fates are unkindly
predisposed. For $4 I will balance your karmic scales. No bargaining.'

Action: spend $4 to remove a CURSED condition. When you do, remove this card from the Codex.

Codex Card WN6: The Spiritualist

The retired chief of police, Artie Doyle, who is known for partaking in seances to reach the spirit
realm, has taken notice of your current adventure. 'I can see that the realm of the dead is in
disharmony. There is dread apparent, and dark omens are gathering. I would like to aid you by
protecting you from some of the worst of the darkness. It would take $6 to make all the proper
arrangements, but I think it would make a real difference.'

Action: add any dollar amount to this card. As soon as $6 is added, flip this card over.
Wrath of Nitocris – Arkham Horror 3rd Edition scenario
Wrath of Nitocris – Arkham Horror 3rd Edition scenario

[Back of card:]

Artie addresses you solemnly. 'It appears the omens of oppression are formidable. I have been able to
reach out to the spirits and asked for guidance and protection in this case, and have informed some old
colleagues of mine of the danger. May the fates be merciful on you, I hope you find your friend.'

Remove one doom token from the Mythos Cup and replace it with a blank token. Remove one doom
from the scenario sheet (if any), then discard this card from the Codex.

Codex Card WN7: Bury the Dead

Your investigation into Egyptian lore has led you to a new friend, the antiquary Julian Claremont. His
shadowy book shop smells of old paper and sweet pastry. Slanted rays of sunlight creep in past closed
blinds. You learn from Julian that the ancient mystics knew of a way to let the Risen Dead return back
to the grave. The incantations were recorded in an evil tome of mysterious origin, better known as the
Rites of Shem. As it happens, an old, albeit incomplete copy is available for purchase at a price of $7.

Action: Add any dollar amount to this card. Once there is $7 or more on the card, you buy the Rites of
Shem. You can then research and add a total of 3 clues to the card. Once that number is reached, add
card WN9 to the codex if there is 8 or more doom on the scenario sheet and add card WN9 reverse
side up to the codex if there is 7 or less doom on the scenario sheet.

Codex Card WN8: Swallowed by Sand

The smothering heat cannot divert your attention from the darkening of the skies, which are suddenly
filled with the silhouettes of hundreds of vultures, high overhead. Their gnarled shrieks are deafening.
Furthermore, the wind seems to have grown into a frightful hurricane and vast quantities of sand are
being hurled around until they cover all of Arkham, burying everyone in an early grave. Nitocris has
cursed the city of Arkham, yet Arkham will not be the end. The deathless queen of Egypt will smite
her vengeance down upon all the living!

Investigators lose the game.

Codex Card 9: Resolution

As you attempt to chant the proper incantations contained in the ancient text on the funerary rites of
Shem, you feel a dark presence in the air and the hairs on the back of your neck rise. Somehow, you
sense that the mummy of the angry queen is losing its immortality. Just before you finish the spell, a
rift in the spirit Ether sets all of the city under the sway of a residual curse. The hold of Nitocris has
grown too strong: Hundreds of citizens wither and grow old in mere minutes. Among the many
victims is your missing investigator friend, who no longer recognizes you as you meet each other
following the arrest of the cult kidnappers. The ravages of time are remorseless, indeed.
Other than this, it seems Arkham is freed from the revenge of Nitocris, but only time will tell if this is
truly the end of the livid queen.

Investigators neither lose nor win the game

Wrath of Nitocris – Arkham Horror 3rd Edition scenario

[Back of card]

You recite the ancient rites as well as you can, translating a strange dead language which appears only
vaguely familiar to you into English. A mysterious energy is present and the candles you had lit
flicker and die out upon your utterance of the final words. Lightning flashes outside and it starts to
rain after many a moon of draught. Something has changed.

Nitocris is no longer immortal, but she has become stronger. She now has 3 + Elite*2 damage. Should
she be defeated, add card 10 to the Codex and remove this card.

Codex Card 10: Returned to the Sarcophagus

A fierce battle has yielded a victor and for the first time in weeks you feel brave enough to break into
a faint smile. The withered bones of the once mighty queen collapse to the ground and her vindictive
spirit is finally put to rest. The curator of the Arkham Museum collects the remains to store them
inside the sarcophagus whence they came. The police has good news as well: Your friend has been
freed from the kidnapper cultists and apart from a few scratches appears to be in good shape.
The citizens of Arkham can sleep quietly for now and enjoy a brief respite from danger, as the next
threat is no doubt already gathering strength..

Investigators win the game!

damage. Perform a WILL(-1) test. If you pass, gain one focus token.

OBSERVATION(-2) test. If you pass, you may remove one doom from your space. If you fail, you
gain two damage and two horror.

-3 Doom
In the midst of a raging storm of sand, a twisting mass of blackness opens up, casting out dark tendrils
like otherworldly tentacles. Perform an INFLUENCE test to appease the Old Gods. If you fail, you

remnant and may remove one doom from any space in your neighbourhood.

A single hawk flies past the sun and you are suddenly painfully aware of the heat. Your ears are filled
with cries of lamentation and despair of people sensing the hour of doom is at hand. You may discard

any space(s) in your neighbourhood. If you do not, you become DELAYED.

the vile brother to Osiris. Perform an INFLUENCE(-1) test. If you fail, you gain a DARK PACT
condition. If you pass, you may spend $2 as a sacrifice to Seth. If you do, you or another investigator

Before long, the snakes attack. Perform an OBSERVATION(-1) test or spend 2 remnants. If you fail,
you gain 3 damage. If you pass, a stranger comes to your aid, who vanquishes the reptiles with fire.
'Good Sir, I can help you on your quest, for a price of $3 that is', they utter. If you pay, gain one ally.

-3 Doom
You suddenly find yourself in the realm of the dead, the hall of Maat, gateway to Egyptian afterlife.
Not sure if you are dreaming or awake, you sense that your morality is weighed before Osiris, God of
the Dead. The words 'Tremble mortal, and pray that your soul weighs less than the feather of Maat'
sound in your ears from an unknown source. Perform an INFLUENCE(-1) test. If you fail, you are
deemed unworthy and become devoured. If you pass, you become BLESSED.
