Full publisher description

Oath of the Outcast introduces four heroes and three monster groups previously available only in the first edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark , as well as two brand-new quests. Trenloe the Strong, Laurel of Bloodwood, Elder Mok, and Shiver join your quests as eager heroes, but even as they enter your quests, monsters arise to attack. This is the first of the Heroes and Monsters expansions. Oath of the Outcast includes three monster groups: bane spiders, beastmen, and razorwings! You will also gain two new quests in this expansion: Oath of the Outcast and Prison of Ice and Lies. In these quests, you will attempt to stop the perpetrators of a dark ritual from reanimating a host of powerful undead warriors.
