Backstory
Kyoji Kasuga is stunned by the nightmarish sight before him. His agents are being picked off by the shadowy wildlife that inhabit the island.
* * *
A Legacy Relic was discovered on an island out in the Pacific. Once unimport- ant, this island is now a battleground for the UGN, False Hearts, and Xenos. Professor Caudwell sent Kyoji Kasuga and a team of False Hearts player char- acters to retrieve the Legacy relic. Like- wise, the UGN deployed their own team of player characters. Kyoka Tsuzuki has her own team of player characters on the ground, but she does not want the relic. She instead ordered her team to seek out and destroy an EX Renegade that carries the Ouroboros Syndrome.
them working together to survive. It started with Kyoji Kasuga and his detachment being attacked by the local wildlife. Kyoji claimed that they were attacked by animals and plants that turned into shadows.
As if backing up his statement, the player characters are also attacked by these living black shadows. No mat- ter how many shadows were defeated, more would come to take their place. Kyoji Kasuga suggested retreating from the island, but the boats the player characters came on were destroyed. Their radio systems are also being jammed somehow.
Kyoji Kasuga and the player are now trapped on an island with countless black animals and plants.
Black Island -Ouroboros/Orcus
Renegade that the players are looking for. The island was sealed away during ancient times, and remained dormant until humans set foot on its shore. Seeking revenge for having been forced into its slumber, the island plans to wipe out humanity.
During this Scenario, the island will slowly move towards the larger conti- nents. If the island makes it to shore, the shadowy animals and fauna that inhabits it will be unleashed onto the world, causing massive destruction. In order to save both humanity and themselves, the player characters have to reach the island’s core and destroy it.

Description
Players must enter the island’s central core, which acts as the control center for the shadow animals and plants. Players learn of this location via events in the Scenario. Initially, the island will not realize that the players are heading for the core, but if it is alerted, the island will deploy shad- ows. In terms of gameplay, failing this Check will result in a mob battle occurring right before the boss battle.
Goal: 15 Points Support Roll: [Mind]
Recommended for: 4 Players
Players must first move stealthily towards the location’s core, avoiding enemies along the way. Players must roll [Mind] to see if they can maintain their calm and stealth despite the dan- gerous circumstances.
If successful, players will make it past the security and reach the final boss battle. If they fail, they will be forced to retreat, thus wasting what little time they have.
