how do i trigger the "time on the rack" plot card???

use this card when a hero ends his turn while knocked out,

does it work whit lava?

dont se how to do this vs a smart group?

(found out somthing carzy)
Long Suffering (zarihell) plot card

it dosent say that you need to take away the damage tokens on the card, so you can stack from lots of quests to last one then blow the heroes away in one boom
use this card when zarihell agent is defeated,
can i w8 to use this card or do i have to use it when she dies

A hero meets the condition for "Time on the Rack" if you manage to knock them out during their activation. The Zarihell plot deck offers opportunities to do this through cards like:

- Spite

- Long Suffering

- Pins and Needles

There are also traps, hazard spaces, conditions and other creative ways to do this.

As for your second observation, it is a good one. The "Long Suffering" card never says you need to take the damage tokens placed on the card away. You don't even have to remove them when you use the card to attack the heroes.

I assume this means the tokens build up over the course of the entire campaign, resulting in some enormous damage bombs if you summon the Zarihell agent regularly. Still, the heroes will be aware that every time they damage Zarihell they are endangering themselves and will plan accordingly.

I guess this could be a little insane once there are like 8+ tokens on the thing, but since you can't use agents in finales or interludes, it has limited usage.

Oh, and in order to trigger the damage bomb you have to use it immediately after she is defeated and spend 1 threat. Seems like the heroes can simply ignore or immobilize Zarihell and pursue their objective to counter this one.
