The Kept
A sealed urn on the cult's altar
What it is
A candidate who did not make it, kept in a jar. The wax over the urn's mouth is fresh and pressed with a thumb, and the urn is colder than the room.
Break the seal and frost runs across the stones. Then a thin grey shape comes up, folded the way a body is folded to fit in a jar, and unfolds.
How it fights
Soft to hit, and slow to hurt you. Its touch freezes the card at the front of your hand until you land an attack on it, and Cold Fingers hits twice as hard for every card it has frozen.
Some of it is not quite there: its mist guard wards off a spell as well.
Once you have met it
High Dangerous. Come rested, with something in the bag.
