The Bale Engine

Q: If performing the Shift ability on the Unstable side of a key would not affect each investigator or each enemy in play, can I still shift the key? A: To perform a Shift ability on a key, you must resolve as much of that ability as possible, and if that ability changed the game state at all, you are considered to have successfully shifted that key. For example, to shift The Last Blossom from its Unstable side, you must heal at least 1 damage from an enemy in play (though you must heal 1 damage from as many enemies as possible). Similarly, in order to shift The Bale Engine from its Unstable side, at minimum 1 investigator needs to discard 1 resource (but each investigator must discard as many resources as possible, to a max of 3).

Kicking the Hornet's Nest

Q: If I play On the Hunt or Kicking the Hornet's Nest and draw an enemy with the concealed keyword, where does it spawn? A: Both events instruct you to spawn the searched enemy engaged with you instead of its normal spawn location. For enemies with the concealed keyword, their “normal spawn location” is in “the shadows.” So, playing either event allows you to circumvent the concealed keyword and instead spawn the searched enemy engaged with you.

Q: Can the Emissary from Yuggoth be chosen as a target for Kicking the Hornet's Nest despite being massive? If so, does the investigator playing it receive the clue and resources from Kicking the Hornet's Nest, given that the 'then' keyword in Kicking the Hornet's Nest indicates that the previous effect must have been fully resolved? A: Yes. Drawing Emissary from Yuggoth spawns it at your location, and it’s considered engaged with you automatically (though no engagement step occurs to trigger abilities). The investigator will receive the clue and resources. (September 2023)
