Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

When a character dies or goes insane you follow the death & insanity procedures including cooperative death rules and any Allmother’s Mercy effects; the group resolution steps and card removal are described in the Death & Insanity section (p. 13).

Menhirs are managed with the Menhir dial and can be inspected or activated during play; wyrdness and Menhir activation rules (including when to inspect and their effects) are covered in the World setup and Menhirs sections (pp. 7, 11).

Combat is played in a sequence of combat turns using combat cards; you resolve card abilities, triggers and the Combat Pool then perform the Victory Check when required, and Keys are the connections/costs that link cards and abilities (see pp. 14–16).

Energy, Health and Terror are the survival tracks you must manage; reaching Terror thresholds can cause Panic and related penalties, which are explained alongside survival track rules and Panic mechanics (pp. 10, 16).

During Explore you reveal the appropriate Encounter cards for that location type and resolve them (regular and special Guardian encounters are described, including encounter deck setup and types); see the Explore/Encounter and Guardians sections (pp. 8, 12).

Diplomacy uses a distinct turn flow with Affinity checks, different card keys/abilities and response rules, and includes explicit rules for escaping versus avoiding encounters; the full Diplomacy turn sequence and related rules are on pp. 18–21.
