MONSTROUS RESPONSES Fitfully Blowing Breeze (Close, Cleaving): The Avis Americae furiously beats its wings, Sending itself Flying. The air pressure Staggers all in range and inflicts 3 Harm. Red Glare (Near/Far, Path): The Avis Americae stares down a combatant, inflicting Dazzled, Staggered, and Vulnerable. The monster then swoops towards them. All combatants in its path are knocked Prone and suffer 3 Harm. Morning’s First Beam (Close, Splash): Lays an explosive egg and then hops a Near distance away. At the start of the Tempo Change, all Close to the egg suffer +2 Metal. If Airborne, the egg drops a Near distance to the ground below and explodes, applying Metal to itself. TEMPO CHANGE: HALF CONCEALS, HALF DISCLOSES The Avis Americae launches itself into the air, soaring quickly over the battlefield and remaining at a Far distance from the ground. Unless grounded, the monster targets a scavenger during the next Tempo Change, diving down and raking them with its talons, knocking them Prone and inflicting a Blister. While the Avis Americae can still fly with broken wings, any further damage to those broken wings will end its flight immediately, sending it hurtling to the ground and falling Prone. ENRAGE At 125 and 60 Health, the Avis Americae squawks in pain and spreads its wings wide, Sending all Close combatants Flying. Twin miniguns burst from the wing joints and pepper all in a Near Line, inflicting 3 Harm. While Enraged, the miniguns coordinate their fire with the monster’s attacks, inflicting 2 Harm to all in range.
