I wasn't sure it would work. When it falls, a Derelict Fortress damages every enemy in front of it, but I've only seen that happen when one dies. Right now, my opponent—a devil with a face like a shivering circle of little wings made of gold—has a bunch of weedy enemies in a row I'd love to drop a tower on.
The Stunted Spawn card in my hand replaces a creature with a goopy monster that has higher stats, but will playing it on my Derelict Fortress trigger that on-death effect? If a tower falls in a goo swamp, does it cause damage? I have no way of knowing, and someone's soul is on the line if I get it wrong.
The Killing Stone is a card game that casts you as a witch's apprentice going through the will your mistress left behind, only to discover it's a devil's contract with multiple souls tangled up in fiendish legalese. The contract disagreement that ensues as you try to free the trapped souls plays out as hands of a game called Fanghella, named after the Icelandic boulders used to break the backs of ritual sacrifices. There's a whole narrative layer set in a mansion on an island in the Arctic Circle, which the owner calls Little Denmark.
