If the Hero has movement points left, Hero may subtract 1 movement point to
continue movement.
2. Players with Townsfolk may re-roll 1 die but, if they choose to do so, they must
give up possession of that Townsfolk, placing the Townsfolk in the nearest
building (but not in the same square as another Hero).
3. If a hero with Townsfolk dies, Townsfolk are moved to nearest building, but may
not be placed on a Zombie or another Hero.

the Zombie onto a Hero that turn. When Townsfolk become Townsfolk Zombies,
use a red Zombie and keep the Townsfolk chit underneath it.
6. All Townsfolk Zombies have a move of 2 and a health of 2.
7. Exorcism: If Father Joseph is in same square as a Townsfolk Zombie, he may
perform a Strength of Spirit roll. If successful, the Townsfolk Zombie becomes a
regular Townsfolk.

Townsfolk may not return to the game.

Townsfolk is not with a Hero, that Townsfolk becomes a Townsfolk
Zombie

of the number, reveal the number. If the number equals the Book, replace
the number chit with The Book chit.
