This Adventure Pack adds a new mechanic to the system - Companions. These characters can appear during a quest and team-up with the prisoners to assist in their escape. Fans of roleplaying games will know them by the traditional term NPCs (non-player characters). The Players will now encounter event cards in the item deck which trigger the arrival of one of the Companions. Every Companion has a unique mixture of traits and a special ability. They are powerful allies but their presence may be fleeting, so prisoners must decide carefully how and when to call on them.
