EVENT HORIZON

LEADS WITH WELL
THE RIFT

EVENT HORIZON is a core that hauls the horde in and grinds it, and it runs for 6.5 seconds from the moment it is spent.

It does not stack. A second pickup spent while a copy is already running would be wasted, so the dock refuses it and keeps it banked for afterwards.

One of the road's own black holes, torn open where the hero stands and left there. It does not follow him: it holds that ground, hauling everything that comes near into the throat and crushing it. Drop it in a doorway and the doorway stops being one.

AUTHORED AT LEVEL 1every damage figure above is the blow a level-1 hero with nothing spent on INTELLIGENCE lands, measured against a reference minion carrying 45 health. It does not stay there: a power's output rides the same curve a monster's healthbar climbs, so a figure that clipped a third of a bar on the first map still clips a third of one on the last.

EVENT HORIZON, a powerup in Ada's Trail, lying on the floor of THE RIFT where it is first handed out — EVENT HORIZON — the pickup, on THE RIFT.

How often it turns up

EVENT HORIZON is weighted 15 against the catalog's ordinary 100, so it turns up 6.7 times as RARELY as an unweighted power sharing its pool.

A pool is a flat list picked from by weight, so what those odds actually come to depends on how deep the venue's list is — and every venue from here on keeps it, so the same power thins out the further down the campaign you take it.

The merchant's counter reads the same weight and marks the price up by it, to a ceiling of 5× — coins cannot buy past the rationing.
