Each Small Dust deck has four cards, and are shown above one deck per row. Creepily well done ... this tiny little otherworldly dude methodically hunts the first investigator down, drives them ever-more mad, and then dusts them. Repeat. By the time of the Final Battle, when it kicks into overdrive, everyone should be scared out of their minds by the little guy.

(Although personally, I think I might prefer Quachil Uttaus remade as a Herald. Removing the clue-granting nature of Warlocks, combined with relentless clue consumption or devouring of investigators would be solid fun to add to any game. Finishing off by dusting the first investigator on behalf of the Ancient One would make any Final Battle much rougher ... though the investigators could prep by removing meaningful combat equipment from the irrevocably doomed character.)

That's definitely the straightforward answer, and what I'd do in the interim, with one caveat: Quachil Uttaus will devour your entire party in a handful of rounds *without* any other Ancient ... two at once at full effect will be almost as hopeless as engaging Azathoth.

The "Herald-ification" would just have Quachil do the Start of Battle bit and then stand back to let "the real Ancient" have the Epic Battle. I fully grant that all of that can be house-ruled easily enough ... but words do not exist to properly describe how borderline OCD I get in wanting everything to be on the proper card, in the proper format, with the proper awesomeness. It will just make my life measurably happier when I have time to whip out Strange Eons and put Mr./Ms. Uttaus on a proper Herald card ... Is that so wrong?

("The Herald prepared the way for the Ancient One by tossing copious quantities of Investigator Dust anywhere the Old One was about to tread.") goo
